SUNDAY IN SAN FRANOISOO:
,
It was a beautiful day in October,
with a warm southerly breeze stir
ring the clehr • atmosphere, and the
-sun beaming gently down upon the
many-colored houses, and the crowds
of Well-dressed loiterers, wha were
seeking recreation from the labors-Of
the past week, in promenading the
spacious streets, or admiring the
fragrant beauties of the "Plaza,"
whiehdent their quiet grace to the
calm placidity of the evening hour,—
as I took my way toward a noble
looking Cliiirch, whose tall,spire arose
in the dista nce, richly gilded by the
softened rayii , „ef.the departing sun.
Mingling with the crowd, ; whose
footsteps were that • 'fling, I
soon found wys.elf before the sa ed
edifice. -
It'was a large lu \ ilding, built in
the ancient - Gothic style, with : rich
stained glass windows, huge .yetdeli-
Catc
_spires and gables, i nii a mass
ive ornamented poech,-s rip - Oriel by
Corinthian pillars,
A broad flight of marbie\l;us In

I walked inside; the air was

end refreshing, and . the twill*
glimmering through the windoW:
Cast a soft and subdued atmosphere
On the : scene,—a Species of holy cairn,
which vague and intangible, yet , per
vaded the building as if divine aroma,
soothing and grateful to the senses.
The light from the chandeliers,
hitherto burning dimly in the deep=
eniug twilight, now blazed up bril
liantly as night let fall her curtain,-- 7 -
discovering the faces of the congrej
gation all serious and expectant.
I3eing'shown to a seat, I sat down'
for the few minutes previous to the
'commencement of the service; while
the
. organ, in subdued and . thrilling
tones filled the • edifice with holy
-
Towanda, Pa
II
And here come the choir ! Two
ladies and two gentlemen filed in
from the chancel, and walking along
the aisle,- took their.seats in front 'of
the organ, which was situated in the
nave lof the church; on theleft hand,
and raised .above• the audience; the
chori.4ters being behind a species r of
balustrade, which served also as a
reading desk.
" Soon after, the clergyman appear
ed; a tall, slightly formed man, with
gray hair and beard, who walked
with measured step and reverent de
meanor to the reading desk.
The music ceases, and the service
commences with the psalms, which
are read by minister and, choir, the
congregation remaining silent, though
standitig. Then the clergyman, in
a sonorous and expressive voice, yead
a lesson from the Old Teitament;
after. which the organ commenced a
chant,' which I recognized
.immedi
ately Ats 44eing often sung in England.
As the singing commenced I join
ed,—it was the " venile" in a voice
which was far from weak, boNiever
questionable in point of melody,—
when what was my surprise and con
fusion to find I was the only person
amofigst the vast concourse, with the
exception of the four choristers, who.
joined in the psalni.
Being a considerable distance from
the choir, I was.all the more conspic
uous, as mine was the only voice
amongst hundreds of people on my
side of the building. ` '`however mas
tered my confasion l and sang the
first verse throughout, as I thought
it would look rather -mare if 1 were
to stop in the middle,—though I
must say that a flush mounted to my
brow, as I noticed . the surprised
looks which were directed towards
me from hundreds of eyes, and felt
no little relief when the verso was
over.
PROPRL67OE.
But my attention was soon called
from this embarrassing •vonfrelemps,
by the divine voices of the choir; it
was entrancing . ! I had never beard
anything like-it; every note was as
clear as the song of the lark, and the
psalm was sang with a power and
effect rarely equalled. I was subse
quently-told, these were the profes
atonal "stars" of the town, and were
engaged to sing hero every Sunday.
The service passed on without any
thing peculiarly noticeable, until the
interlude was being givenon the or
gan, before the last verse 'of the
hymn; when tb myastonishment, the
pulpit, which was in the wing of the
church, commenced moving gently
across the floor, by no visible means,
until it arrived in the centre of the
building, where it remained station
my, and , the clergyman in his black
robes was discernable in the attitude
of prayer.

gradually away in soft 'cidences--:
melting into the lingering basa of the
organ s till it subsided into silence.
. 1 The clergyman delivered an earn
est and impressive discoirse, which
was apparently listened bi attentive
ly by - the *hole of his audience;
,and
the benediction pronounced,--our
heads bowed in reverence; they pass
ed out of the building elmvly, and in
perfect silence ; a contrast to the
buzz of convifreation, and ,the hand
shaking which usually predominates
elsewhere, • 1 I ' . '
One other place of worship I visit
ed whfie inflan Francisco, which left
a vivid impression of its beautiek on
My mind, and which I! cannot' pass
. without a few descriptive, words: \._
I had walked to the "west end" of
the town, and was - leisurely strolling
along the pavement, admiring the
stately and handsome edifices on all
sides, when I was accosted by a gen
tlemen of unobtrusive and propos
seasing eppearance, who bowed, and
apologizing for stopping me, asked if
ill I would mind entering a chapel
which I was.passing; an eminent di
vine was to preach that evening, and
as I was apparently a 'stranger
would excuse his solicitatiens.
II immediately answered that I
should be very pleased to enter with
him; and he escorted me into an ex
ceedingly plain building, up a flight
of stairs, and along a corridor of
considerable length, laid down with
unpretentious Indian ;netting.
He came to a dodr, Which was
oliened, add we passed into the saz
cred . huilding. , 1
r :
I was all amazement at the, scene
which met my eye. I had' ex pected
to;find en unadorned and' primitive
apartment, ill-fitted and unconiforta
ble, bnt imaginit my surprise when I
found myself in a large - :and lofty
hall, capable of accommodating two
thousand people. I ' '
The roof, one mass of frescoed
beauties of rare color and design,
was supported by eight immense pil-
larsaf a golden hue; the Walls were
of 1 a delicate tint, and aderned with
representations, in ethereal! hies,, of
sacred subjects. The windows, cor
niced magnificently, were ', screened
'hi vivid c rimson curtains, shutting
out the iast remains of twilight; stu
pendous chtuideliers depended' from
,the rod e bathing everythidg in light,
rave the - chancel, which was, thrown
into shadow. 1
1 This chancel was a masterpiece of
art; approached by broad 1 steps of
granite, it was laid with tesselated
paiement, and in the centre was a
group :of "'angelic" stattiary. The
rod was a - canopy supported by or
namental pillars, and cunningly de
visixi, so that it almost 'seemed a
prAtion i, * of the sky itself, with its ce
u uu.o irinilen ar, 1- , • •
Pi kil
being thrown into deep re lied by 8
billiant light beyond, you might
readily fancy you were gazing on the
pure blue of the firmament, when
night had donned her starry vesture.
And then, the body of the edifice !
The floor was covered throughout
N ith a carpet, rich in color and soft
to ihe tread as the gorgeols fabrics
of astern climes. -
The seats, arrayed in a crescentic
form, diVided by spacious! 'aialea on
either side, were covered • o ver` with
dark crimson velvet cushions,: in
which one sank as in a bed of &min.
I Must say I was both astonished
and delighted at the tout e l OenOle of
tl , interior; it out-vied a nything -I
ha seen before—or have since. l
.1
sit the rare beauty an ta ste of
the' surroundings, instead o drawing
attention from the minister, seemed
ranter to lend an inexpressible effect
to I his ;really eloquent and earnest
appeal to the hearts of his Congrega
tion, which interested and captivated
me beyond expression; arid, I thought
—"surely divine service loses none of
its power, not to say attraction, in
the grand repast set - forth to lovers
of r ho Beautiful !"
Notwithstanding the beauty 'of
surrounding objects, the service was
Carried on with,-almost Puritanic sim
pliicity, and'contrasted strongly; with
the ritualistic ceremonies and prac
tices so ranch in vogue in Pio latter
day Established Church. 'I
The service ended, I reluctantly
rose, and walked slowly ont;—feeling
as one in a dream,--with! the, soft .
Music bidding mo a gentle lareiell.
As I was leaving, the gentle Man
who had brought me there;ldrew me
aside, and asked how I liked the ser
vice and the chapel. I replied that
I rievor saw it equaled, and asked
him who built it. He anEp'wered by
asking, "Would you like to, join the
congregation ? You like the service,
tl4n join ! we shall be most happy to
receive you." ' II
I id : "I -

Sunday is not kept as Sacredly in
San Francisco as in the Eastern
States. The Chinese work all day
making cigars, and so forth, _
tiio lower classes of the I Nvliite men
,devote themselves principally to
pleasure. They may be seen during
the • hours the drinking - lioness are
open, clustering round !tile bars,
drinking, smoking, al . playing
cards, some cursing their bad luck,
and others laughing upr oariously at
the opposite. ,
Excursions 'are organized for those
who that way incline, ;on Sunday
afternoons, to Williamstown, 'across
the Bay, and other trips by water;
and steamboats, decorated with
bunting, fore and aft, dash gaily
through the water, with crowds of
people on board; bands of music play
lively tunes, to which the excursion
its dance and sing; the bottle passes
round, and little spiral I donds of
smoke may be seen issuing from
scores of months; while some are
standing or lounging about the
docks, spitting their tobacco juice
right and left, in happy dieregard of
each other's boots, and the epigram

The thoroughly educated man . :

educated; neither is he whose raent

whose mind has 'never been store•

imbibed from books properly fitte.
for practical life. There is a differ
ence between literary acquirement:
and education. Education ie initia
tory, while literature is ultimate.
Education teaches man his superi
ority over i the brute creation, and the
various uses to which he may ' apply
it. It gives him information of all
improvements in the mechanical sale
since the foundation of the *world+
it imparts an extended knowledge
of agriculture, science, literature and
the fine arts. It acquaints him with
the manners, customs and habits o,
men who hei has never seen, and
countries 'which he has never visited
By it he is enabled to look back throf
the long history 'of the past, and'
judge froml it to :determine what is
expedient in the presant; be is also
made to,understand human nature,
how to touch the secret: springs cif
human action; it informs him whe
the wants of his fellows are, and ho
best to provide for them; it fits hi
for every field of labor in which h
may be placed. His edubation shOW?

'vidual instance, to the best'possible
advantage.: In. short, persons 'inva
riably wield an influence in societY,
either for good or evil, in proportion
as their -intellects are educated.
However; the education of the inte -

yvnen the Spaniards diactrvered
Mexitao they found the inhabitants of
that country engaged in the cultiva
tion o f a beautiful species,of ever
green tree, ":the fruit-seed of whieh
was highly valued as an article of
food. These trees;; called by the na
tives . chocolate,' grew io a height
of twenty or thirty feet, and w ise ar
ranged in groves on the sheltered
hillsides and bottom-lands, in 'places
where they could be well watered by
irrigation; a wonderful feature in
their 'growth was the buds, blossoms‘
and mature fruit borne at one time,
so that the trees were in bearing all
the Jeer round. The natives gath
ered t he ripe fruit and extracting the
seeds dried them in the pun; after
which they were ground . : between,
stones into a fine powder, and made
into a kind of soft paste. The Span-.
iards took peme of this paste back
with
hem to Sain, where' it - after=
war became po popular that ships
retia ing from the colonies brought
in lar e quantities of it; .and When,
later, the new food , became_ known
gener Ily throughout- Europe, the
raw 'material was imported into
Spain where the secret of its mann
facture was retained for many years.
;The preparation is' now called chec
elate or cocoa, this latter word being
a Corruption of cacao, the Other and
More common name of the tree.: The
consneaption of cocoa has of, late
years iocreased to such an Patent, its
value s an, article of heat-giving diet
being.;
generally acknowledged, that
the tr e,which is indigenotts to tropi
cal .America, is largely cultivated,
and the , seed or bean forms an , inv.. •
'portant item in the e.nntn-ree with
Trinidad, Ecnador and Peru, Guiana,
and thr islands of the Spanish Main:
The preparation of. chocolate as it
is now conducted consists—begin,
nine with the fruit—in opening: the
ripe pod and extracting the twenty
or thirty almon shaped seeds ; when
a stiffieient number of these have
been collected they 'are placed in
shallor pits dug in the ground, where.
they develop y sufficient !heat to pro
duce a slight fornientation. When
this lies continued a sufficiently long
time, and the delicacy •of the flavor
depends on its'adjustment, the seeds
are sprped out on mats until perfectly
dun artipeff to tne Eul.ol i e t i n mar
kets.J
, ere they are carefully picked
over, ri- d roasted in large' revolving
cylinde f 3, after which they are spread
out on w ire frames and allowed to
cool ra " idly. They are then placed.
in a c shins mill, rand- the thin shell
(which has a very irritating effect on
the membrane of the . stomach) win
nowed oat by .a fan.. The grinding
mill, which is slightly heated, reduces
the,nibit to a fine powder, ivhich is
then ni'xed with,the sugar and farina,
and so etimes flavored with spices;
thami tore is then passed between
heavy, llers which reduces it to a
dperfectly smooth paste, in which con
ition it is turned into the mantas.
This fi ashes the

NITRO-GLYOEIIIIO.
Nitr -glycerine the most powerful
explosive known, ten times as
powerfril as gun powder, is
,made of
glycerine and nitric and sulphuric
acid. It was discovered in 1847 i and
first used in 1864. Glycerine is an
oily substance derived from tallow or
suet, or what are knOwny as animal
fats. When such fat or common soap
grease is belled with-soda lye or with
any other lye by which hard soap is
made, the glycerine becomes separar
ted frotia the fat and is left, in large"
part at least, in the water upon which
the cake of soap . floats. In the man
ufacture of glycerine, the fat is first
made into soap, or, as it is , called,
saponfied, and by a very interesting
process it is then separated in . the
:
shape fan oily but not greasy sub.:
stance. The glycerine is poured into
a mis t re of ono measure of nitric
acid and two measures of Sulphuric.,
acid very slowly and with the great;
est care. The Mixture is then pour,
ed into' water in which it sinks to the
bottom without mixing with it in the
least. It is then complete, and such
a highly dangerous article that the
greai
t care i s need to avoid tied;
dents oth in making and. using it:
It will explode by friction or simply
rubbing upon: rough surface, Or by
a blow, as with .a hammer,: or by
simply falling upon the patina,
especially when it is frozen or bn;.
comes s olid through exposure-to cold.
For t i ese reasons it is very rarely
used, nless first mixed with sawdust
or fine earth which is called infusor
ia 1-ear h, because it consists of very
little :hells and remains of very
minute animals once living in water,
known as infusorrim by scientific
peopl4 When thus mixed, it is . in
the shape of a dry, solid substance
or coarse powder, which, if put in a
fire, will not explode of "go on"' like ,
gunpciwder, but simply barna' like
se much rosin. But when it is used
in a Vole bored in a rock it is so
much powerful than gunpow
der that it has enabled people to
make tunnels like the .Hoosac Or
the Mont Cenis tunnel in a quarter
of tht time usual with gunpowder.
It is therefore one of the most mein!
of our modern invention
