Derontest of my Sunday friends,
The patient Organ blower bend'
I see his figure sink and rise,
(Forgive me, Heaven, my wandering eyes
A moment lost,the next half seen,_ ' -
His head aboie the scanty screen,
Bolt ineastuing out his deep salaams
Through quavering hymn and panting psalms.
No priest that prays in gilded stole,
To haves riel4 rean's mortgaged oral;
No sister, fresh from holy vows--
So humbly stoops, so meekly bows ;
His large obeisance_pnts to shame
The prondlist genuflectingdame.
Whose Easter bonnet low descends
With al the grace devotion lends.
0, brother with the supple spine, •
How much we Owe those bows or thine
Without thine arm to lend the breeze,
Flew vain the finger on the keys!
Though all unmatched the player's skill,
Those still
_thousand throats were dumb and
Another's art may shape the tone,
The breath that fWsit is thine own.
Six days the silent Slerenotrwalts
Behind his temple's folded ,gates!
But when the seventh- dap' s sunshine falls,
Through rainbowed windows on the
Ile breathes, he sings, he shouts, be fills
The quivering air with rapturous thrills;
The roof resounds, the.pitfars shake,
And all the slumbering echoes wake!

A TRIP ACROSS THE WATER. •
No. XXX.
"Here congregates the commerce of a world;
Its white•wingod messengers from distant
shores, -
Speeding across the blue and changeful sec—.
News from sill nations, men froth every clime;
Yet mid the shifting currents of these crowds,
What is there known to mar'
Onr Isle of Man steamer came to
her moorings in the George Basin,
near the principal, centre of the trade
and commerce of Liverpool. Not far
distant is the Prince's Dock; whets
for the most part American-:passen
gers are transferred to and from the
Atlantic steamers, and also the offi
cers of the "Inman Line," where I
called to make a transfer of tickets
for further progress in the direction
of London and Paris.
The solitary traveller entering the
thronged streets of a foreign city, is
likely to entertain feelings of quite
as much loneliness as if he were pass
ing within some vast and uninhabit
ed forest. Whila humanity in its
ever varying con4itions and pursuits
is about him and on every side, there
is iio eye to recognize or hand to wel
come'him: his appearance - or disap
pearance from any cause, 111 4 3 alike to
be unmarked. ' But he rimy console
himself with the reflection that' so
long as he' does not bother the crowd
about him with his own sympathies
or attentions, tley are certainly , ex
cusable in not extending their s to
him.
Ideas of this sort naturally enough
recur to the mind of one who, like
myself, chances to pass a period of
maths abroad without the sight of
gle face before known, from the
time of leaving his native shores to
that of hi 3 return thither. And such
were my cogitatiens, (perhaps _more
profound), as I proceeded on "foot
and alone," through - Water street
along its ascent to the Town Hall
and Exchange, where with the same
general direction, it becomes Dale
street, one of the most important
thoroughfares -of the, city, leading
east towards the Lime street station,
whence depart numerous daily trains
for LOndon, along the Great North-
Western Line most noted of English
railways. On and near Dale street,
too, are many-of ',the Liverpool Ho
tels; I was in quest of one of these,
having ordered some "unfinished
busing-ss" along my previous route to
be forwarded thither.
The unsuccessful search for asps
cial object is sometimes rewarded by
an unthought of and perhaps more
valuable discovery. It was even so
in this case. The hotel I did not
find; but on my way I had a square
and most fortunate encounter with
one, who, though I may say I had
never before met him on earth, seem
ed to me now just the right man in
the right place. This was. Mr. Fors
ter, of St. Louis, a native of Harris
burr, Fa. with whom I had formed
an agreeable ten days' acquaintance
on board the " City of London," part?.
ing from him and the vessel at the
" Cove of Cork." That he was a man
of a progressive turn is evident from I
the fact, that during the month of I
our separation, he had traversed the
pavements of Bome, the Alpine pass
et‘. and the Parisian Boulevards; and
I now met him at his, very starting
point, the preliminary item as it
were, of the Continental programme.
He had just come ova to Liverpool
from London to see some friends
safely embarked on their return .voy
laze (the month having sufficed for
them to "do" Europe) and was in
tending to return thort4 - to- the
im!Tlmtmmsl2!wimmmr=mmmemmw
Great Metropolis, to spend a week or
more there. What could have seem
ed more desirable on' my part than
thecomPinionship of a friond-;-not
only during my stay in- Liverpool,
but also on entering for the first time
the vast wilderness of London
But my- Inn was out ; in other
words the Hotel I was looking for
had disappeared for some reason
from the hat, and my "unfinished
business " has never come to hand.
Do not infer from this, hoWaver, that
the hotels of England are commonly ,
ephemeral affairs. As an instance of
the contrary, I can prove to you "by
the , card" that the Seven Stara at
Manchester has been kept as a pub
liahouse for no less than' 513 years,
in:the same building.
While other Liverpool hotels are
favorably spoken of, my -own exri
enne at the ALZIANDRA, on Dale
street, leads me to mention it as one
of the best I found in Great Britain.
Three or four in number, we went
'next morning to the Exchange, with
a view of gainin g admission to the
news room. The Exchange is a fine
building, 'or rather a collection of
buildings, devoted to various pnr
:es connected with its main design.
Inlthe area stood a monument and
statue of Lord Nelson,• and at the
entrance a liveried official, who in
quired of us whether our names were
on the Exchange List? We could
not swear to it as within our know
ledge; and for the moment deemed
our errand perhaps a vain one;,but a
Liverpool gentleman,learning that we
were Americans, came to our rescue,
and soon produced two or three
other members, each of whom having
the right to introduce -dile stranger;
we were by their courtesy admitted
to the privilege of looking over- the
columns of the Herald, Times
and Tribune, amid the vast number
of foreign-journals here open to view.
Liverpool returns two members to
Parliament, and with its population
of half a million is the second city of
Great Britain; yet it would require
six Liverpools -to make London.
Next in order come Glasgow, Man
chester, Birmingham and Dublin, all
others being under a quarter million.
Liverpool is not a manufacturing
town; its importance chiefly consist
ing in its being the inlet for material
and supplies, and the outlet, of pro
ducts, to and_fm the great manu
facturing centr es of England in its
vicinity.
One third of the immense trade of
Liverpool is saitt - to be with the Unit
ed States. The arrivals of cotton at
this port are stated to have reached,
in a single year, the enormous
amount of 2,500,000 bales, say Of 500
pounds each. In 1866, the tonnage
of the port ._entered outward, was
about 3,000,000, and _inward, 2,631,-
000, while the declared value of ex:
*lns was about 435,006,000 dollars.
These figures are exceeded only by
London, and if the great coasting
trade of the latter be deducted, they
are in excess of the returns of that
Port-
The Docks of Liverpool are justly
the pride of the city; they correspond
well to the greatness of its shipping
interests; and are on a more magnifi
cent scale than those. of any other
city of.the world. , Extending about
seven miles along the Mersey, they
embrace a water area of 250 acres,
with 18 miles of quays, while the
Birkenhead docks on the other side
have an area of 170 acres and nine
miles of quay line. Several of the
Liverpool docks are surrounded by
immense warehouses built close to
the edge of the quay, so that ships
are discharged directly into them.
One of the finest structures of-the
city is St. George's Hall, standing
near the Lime Street Station. The
main apartment, a public hill, is
very extensive and richly decorated,
and contains an organ said to be one
of the largest - and most powerful in
the world. In the building are also
several Law Courts and a fine con
cert room.
—anon.
Not far from St. George's Hall, on
" William Brown Street," is a fine
building, costing some $200,000, the
gift of Sir William Brown to the city.
It contains a Free Library and fine
Museum, which aro open to the pub
lic on most days of the week. The
fortune of the fotuider was mostly , ac
quired in the -American trade. It
"was truly a pleasant sight, as we
passed through the reading room, to
see many of the working class prac
tically appreciating the beneficence
of the man who had the good sense
to build his own monument after
such a manner. The Museum colle&
tion, in various departments of natu
ral history, and especially in. that of
'ornithology, we found very extensive
and interesting. •
During &lour of observation one
mooning through a densely brat por
tioti of the city, I noticed a large
open space, which on closer approach
proved to my surprise to be an ob
long ravine or excavation of, consid
erable extent, and some twenty feet
below the surrounding level. The
sides are. steep' and for the most part
are perpendicular *tills of rock. This
is the Cemetery of St. James, and
(like the extensive catacombs which
underlie the southern portion of the
city of Paris), was originally a stone
quarry. In procuring the material
for a city of the living, they thns pre
pared a city of the dead: The en
trance into it -is tunneled through
the rock; upon its level surface may
be seen the tombs and monuments of
some distinguished men. The most
noticeable, perhaps,' of these, is that
erected to the memory of Mr. W.
Huskisson, IL P. for Liverpool, who
lost his life by an unfortunate acci
dent occurring at the great occasion
of the opening of the Liverpool and
-
Manchester Railway, Sept - 15, 1830.
This enterprise, It is said, owed its
success in a great measure to his in
fluence and advocacy. Thousands
were assembled to witness this grand
success of George Stevenson's, which
was in fact the establishment of the
railway system, now so important to
the interests of civilization. On their
pFogreu.towards Manchester the en
gines had stopped at Parkside to take
m water. "The Northumbrian en

BEFRIENDING YOUNG PEOPLE.
When 3, hn Wesley saw ott young
man in danger of falling into the
snare of aril associates, he did not
watch him sharply at a diitance, and
speak of his short comings to others;
predicting that he was "on the high
road to ruin." -
HO invited him to his table, and by
a genial, affable l manner, sought to
give him good Aubject for thought,
or hints for conduct. Advice thus
hospitably enfor&.d was very , im- .
pressive. He would draw •otit
young man ini conversation, and learn
what studies he was most proficient
in, which werb essential 'to his ituc
cess,:a*l then assist him to acquire
the mastery of them.
Another=and most valuable way of
aiding a young man whom social
danger threatened, was to make him
acquainted with well-dliNsed, reli
gious young men, who would - lead
them into good paths. Then 'he
- watched over their future career- with
a father's interest and tenderness.
Then in a very s- simple manner ho Ad
complished a vast amount of good,
besides preventing a world of evil.
The Christian duty of hospitality,
is too much neglected by Christians.' :
They lose by inhospitality many pre
cious opportimities of doihg good
and of getting good. There, is no-,
thing that endears the heart of the
young and of the stranger more than
a warm home-welcome from those on ,
whom they have no claim. It opens
the heart's door wide to receive im-,
pressions of good and fills the memo
ry with grateful remembrances.
" That woman is a Christian if
ever there was one," said a poor,
painter boy to me about a kind old,
lady who had befriended 'him in his
loneliness and . .poverty. She had
given him many a meal when hungry
or called him in her pleasant, - door-',
way to receive a pocketfull of cakes,l ,
and once when sick, had taken him'
home and nursed him with a tnoth
er's tenderness. That boy is a man
now, but the memory of those little
kindnesses will never fade from his
heart.
If you wish to be good to the
young prove yourself, indeed, a gen.'
erous, loving friend to.them.

price of sleep, and appetite, of health
and enjoyment. The very necessity
which overcomes our natural sloth is
a blessing. • The world does not con

ever a more useless or ridiculous cos
tume? Powdered wigs,knee-breeches,
silk stockings, long ruftlekand shoes.
Here is a gentleman whelk whole-in
genuity for a month past has been
expended in contriving and adjusting
the earls' of his wig; here is another,
in plum:colored satin coat and peach
colored clothes, talking to his neigh
bor in colors equally bright and va=
:kid. Here a third is grinding the
high backed chair on which he is sit
ting with the hilt of_ his diamond
studded sword. One is astonished
how the gentleman of those days
could have taken the air at all. Their
silk and Satin dresses would riot' keep
them warm or fence off the weather;
their three-cornered hats, not made
for the head bat the hand, afforded
no protection from-the, rain, or from
the long gutters and • ater- spbuts,

roofs of the soaking houses into the
`streets below,on the heads of unwary

universally by all classes, high . or
low. No matter how_poor the man,
or how low his finances, a wig was
indispeniable. No citizen-on a Sab
bath, tai clerk, no skillful mechanic,
would think of appearing without his
appendage. Ho would just as soon
have thought - of walking about in 'his
night-cap, or hip° clothes lit all, .as
show himself abroad witholit his wig.
Those were the days when barbers
flourished; when the 'spruce appren
tice brought hoine his master's wig
carefully- suspended on 's species of
light block, with his last puff of pow
der and last turn
_of-the curls ready
for church on the Sabbath morning.
Ah, those wigs! 'what consternation
did they make among the ladies!
How many a rich widow, hu r many
a proud heiress, whom no signs, no
protestations could move, yielded to
the charms of a handsome wig I The ,
barbers were the , most important
men in England. 'Nay, so universal
was the fashion, so indispensable was
the ornament, that, as I have, heard
my father say, it gave rise to a-par
ticular occupation. The Jews used
to go about the streets with bags full
of wigs, crying out, -- " a dip for a pen
ny." iThat is; every one who paid a .
penny dipped his hind in the bag
and took his chance of the first wig
that came np. It would happen that
the man fished up a wig too hig or
too small, or a black-haired , inan got
a red wig, or the reverse; or a. most
outrageous fit, in which no decent
citizen or artizan could appear. Why,
then he gave'another penny and dip
ped ;lain; and no doubt s Y- in this, as
in all other, lotteries . ,-he found mote
blanks than prizes. In those days
_wigs affordedi great temptations to
thieves. In the ill-lighted streets the
gentlemen returning-from some place
of amusement or from a carouse—for
men were not very temperate then—
was a fich prize; if he had gambled
away his money his wig was more
More valuable than his watch. • A
brawny fellow, sometimes with two

A TRUE TEMPEEAROE MAN.
Only with a certain class of per
sons is total abstinence a virtue.
Some do not drink because they have
never been educated and tempted to.
Others abstain because they are nat-
urally parsimonious, and love their
money supremely. Still others are
abstemious, because they . do not love
intoxicants, and cannot use - them.
without disgust and nausea. Absti
nence for these reasons is-no more,la
virtue in a man than it is•in the brute
creation.
Equally true it is that abstinence
alone i does not a temperance man in
any aceeptable sense. A true tem
peranci,man must be an abstainer on
principle. He must have a deep in
terest in the cause of total abstinence.
He must love their cause and 'make
willing sacrifices to 'maintain it: He
must have the principlepf self denial,
in obedience to conviction, in order
to the possessiqn of any merit as a
temperance man. The strength of
one's principle is to be deterniined
by the extent of his sac:rift:es. Men
love a cause just to the xtent that
they are willing to deny themselves
to serve that cause. cf -
Many are temperance people l 'only
negatively. They have one side only
of temperance principle. Virtue con
sists ''in two facts; the not ; - doing
wrong, and the doing , right. Absti
nence may be a state of innocence,
but positive activity and earnestness,
are necessary to constitute one really
.virtuous.
There are more who are negatively
right than there are who are' posi
tively right. The mere negative per
son may be selfish,indolent,coward
ly. Dead people are not intemper
ate, and they are about as good tem
perance people as many total abstain
ers, who, though living 'are dead to
action, sacrifice or courage, and -will
vacate no post of service when they
go to their - graves. Peace to the
ashes of those whose ashes as valua
ble as they were, before yednced to
this primitive condition. We have

PITTING.' FROM EIMALL-POL
The terrible --seaming rind pitting
of the face, neck; and other exposed
parts of the body, consequent upo:in
the severe attacks of the.small-pox,
are well known. ,It is,
however, that the scalp is always ex
emptedirom - marks; even after the
severest form of the disease, the cot- -
ering afforded by the hair preserving
ft from pitting. Remembering this
fact, it recently occurred to an Eng
lish physician, while watching& pho
tographer using cotton wool to shut
out light in the-process of -"vignet
ting"photographs, that the. materi
al, if applied to thd face and neck of
small-pox patients, might gives pro
tecting influence somewhat similar •
to that afforded to the scalyby the
hair, and thereby preventor modify
the subsequent pitting. Having nn

TUE Tann3r.u----The. wage of ihis
little instrument is sed tp - bave been -
&rived from thumb:bell," being at' .
first thumblc and afterward thimble.
It is of' Dutch invention,. and was
brought to England abbut the year
1605, by John-Lofting; who -com
menced its manufacture at Islington.
near London, and pursued it with
great profit and success. Formerly
iron and brass were uSed, but latter
ly steel, silver and gold have' taken -
their places. In the ordinary manu—
facture, thin plates of metal are in
troduced into a die, and then punch
ed into shape. - In Paris gold thim
bles are manufactured to a large ex
tent. Thin sheets of sheet-iron are
cut into dies_of about two inches di
ameter. - These being heated red hot, •
are struck with a, punch into a num
ber of holes, gradualy, increasing in
.depth to give them the proper shape._
The thimble is then trimmed, pot:
ished, and indented around its outer .
surface) Niith a number °nide holes,
by means of a small-wheel. It is then -
converted into steel by the cementa
tion process, tempered, scoured, and.
brought to a blue' color. A thin. sheet - 1 ,
of gold is then introduced into the 1 .
interior, and fastened to the steel-by
means of a polished Steel-mandril.
Gold leaf is then applied to the out.;
side; and attached to it by pressure,
the edges being fastened in a. small
groove made to receive them. The
timble is then ready for use. Those
made in this manner do not wear
out, as so many ordinary gold thim- -
bles do, but will list -for years.. The
gold coating, if cut away by
needles, may be easily replaced, but
the steel' is of an excellent quality,
and very durable.
A SAD Cssmr—The wife of a wealthy
cigar manufacturer in , New York
lately (lied the victim of - strong
drink. With the exception of her
passion for liquor she was a most es- '
tiuiable woman, but would act in a
violent manner when giving, way in
this - weakness. , About two years
ago she left hOme under its influ
ence to throw herself . under the -
wheels of a railroad train, but 'was
followed by her husband, who pre
vented the terrible act at the lubt
moment. She has often threatened
to shtiot her husband and son, and
frequently taken a revolver to bed
with her. At such timeher ~ hns:
band - would fasten himself in. his
sleeping room away from.her until
the frantic mood was over. About a
year ago 11.1 r.• Ebert- was troubled
with headache, for which,hisphysi
cian recommended aconite, a deadly
poison. About ten days ago a one
ounce vial, sufficient to kill ten per
sons,was missed from its usual pima. -
A kw days after, upon returning
from one of his b usiness trips; his .*
wife was so furious that' he, with hie ,
son and two other young men, bar
ricaded themselves in a room, which
she tried- vainly for two hours to
force, open. She then bade her son
good bye and went to - her Imal room,
where she was found dead the tOxt
morning; and the emptfaeonite vial
standing on the piano near the door.

in a cold room, tucked them up and
slit down on the edge of . the bed to

cuddled up to Willie, aged five, who
had just commen ced his prayer.
Presently, Villiehegan to hurry, the
words came faster than he cdtdd dis
