heavy.

Incidental).
Dr. Oillooly, Bishop of Sllgo, dcaounces
secret political societies, and says: "It was, it
appears, under leaders of those aecursed secret
societies in France that Stephens and others
were initiated Into the system of assaillne
society through the priesthood; there they served
tueir unnoiy apprenticeship ana learned their
wicked tactics.
In Mrs. Howe's recent sermon in Boston.
she discoursed about the significance of the
Saviour's conduct in "washing the disciples'
feet." She thought it had an application to the
Christian work of the present day. She told
how she bad once visited a poor and dirty
household, where the children were in the most
shocking condition, and how, after leaving the
place, she had upbraided herself for not having
"taKen those children in hand, thoroughly
washed and cleaned them, turned out for the
moment the thriftless mother, scrubbed the
floor, and aired the room and bedding:." "This,
said she, "would have been a good form la
which to have applied the symbolical washing
of the doar Christ." "And," she continued,"!
propose to you, ladies, that a band of us should,
at proper intervals, go through those miserable
dwellings, and, collecting the neglected children,
give them and their mothers a realizing sense oi
how disciples should wash.
mere is a company in liartiora acvotea to
the inspection and insurance of steam boilers.
Similar institutions have met with great success
in England, and there is no reason why they
should not here. The dangers to which the
community is exposed are forcibly illustrated
in the report of the Connecticut company for
laBt month. The defects discovered bore the
grave proportion of CO per cent, to the boilers
examined. ihirty are mentioned that were
actually dangerous As specimens, two
safety-valves were rusted last; one Doner
was externally so corroded lor a space oi
two and a half feet that a light Etroke of a
hammer could penetrate it. and two
boilers were found that had the bolt and yoke of
tbclr band-hole plates completely oxidized.
When such is the condition of affairs among tho
careful class of owners that insure their pro
perty, what Is it among those whoso only solici
tude Is to get as much as possible out oi a
boiler before it gives out? In this city and
vicinity no safety whatever can be hoped for in
respect to boilers until they are recorded and
inspected with as much actual rigor as theo
retically Is brought to bear on every barrol of
whisky. Most especially should there be a
careful official examination of second-hand
boilers offered for sale with the expectation that
the buyer will tinker them up for a fresh lease
oi danger.

a large vase of singular form, which seemed
from its deteriorated condition to date fur back
into antiquity. Immediately all the academics.
and all the learned societies of the Upper and
Lower Kblne, and oi t rancne (jomte also, began
publishing historical, scientific, and areh&'ologi-

of the vase, and a romtitude oi the most inge

Floods of ink were poured out and the Ques
tion was stui unsettled, wnen one day the pro

The Tbui Education. When will Britan
nia remove that dust that obsoures her seats
nf Wrninn liva in the Dresent. but forcet
the post ? Knowledge will make giant strides
when the education of young minds mainly
consists in the observations oi the living.
Personal experiences have a much more vivid
effect on men than their records; living are
preferable to stuffed animals, and spoken to
dead languages. The aim of education should
De to fit individuals ior a useiui existence.
Education at least begins with man's birth,
and it only ends with his death; but it has its
phases. The training the infant receives,
physical and mental, is seen in the school
boy, whose pursuits at that time epitomize
his professional studios, aud his career in his
walk of life is the reflex of all his previous
existence. How much may be done by
adapting the course of training and study to
Iho 'quulitits and powers of the embryo man!
His qualities, varied as the medium through
which light passes, can flud, iu judicious
training, those elements which assist in neu
tralizing their natural inequalities. Nttpkr.
Characteristics of Galileo. Thronghont
his lifo Galileo seems to have been faithful to
his family and ever industrious in study.
Modest and unassuming, he neither envied
nor depreciated tho talents of other men; and
his only self-commendation was his remark
when his eyesight was decaying, that of all
the sons of Adam none had seen an much an
he. He was social, and, if he could have
company, never took a meal alone. He was
a great connoisseur in wines, was fond of
gardening and pruning his vineyard, and it
was said there was no art, science, or handi
craft in which be was not superior to the
generality of men professing them. However
clear a subject was to his own mind, he was
not satisfied till he had made it as clear to the
minds of his pupils. The story that Galileo,
on rising from his knees, after his formal
abjuration, muttered "Eppure si muove" (It
does move, though), may be still employed
in sermons and popular lectures, but is base
less. I'nvate Jaj of uauwo.
Kleptomaniacs. The Albany News tells
this: "A beautiful little girl of about ten
years of age, possessed of an abundance of
yellow curls, which won the admiration of all
who saw them, was quietly pursuing her way
to school the other day, when she was over
taken by a fashionably-dressed young lady a
blondo, and beautiful of course, for blondes
are fashionable now who entered into con
versation with the little miss. She admired
her hair, and caressed the cnrls repeatedly,
all the while keeping np a steady flow of con
versation. The child heard a quick, sharp
snap, and looking up, saw the lady in the act
of closing a reticule, which she explained was
accustomed to open of itself, and annoyed
her greatly thereby. Soon after the lady
turned np a street, and the ehild went to
school. When she returned home the watch
ful mother noticed that one of her longest
curls had disappeared, and an examination
revealed the fact that it had been cut off
within an inch of the head, the short hair
standing out, as if indignant at the outrage."
Cork Laos and Palpitators. It is said
that the inventor of cork legs is dragging oat
a dreary existence in a county poor house:
while the inventors of false calves, palpita
tors, and sundry other articles to adorn
the "form divine," revel amid the luxuries
of opulence. "History repeats itself in the
little as well as the great affairs of a nation,
and while many a poor fellow who left a leg
on the "sacred soil" of the South has, by the
genius of the inventor of cork legs, had it re
placed in a measure, yet an ungrateful people
forget the man who has done them so much
good service, and permit him to die in a poor
house. This is just the difference between
the rewards for the uses and abuses of genius.
