THE NEW TRINITY CHURCH, BOSTON
Nor,LE AND ARTISTIC EDIFICE-FULL
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING.,
.The completion of the new Trinity
Church another to the limper
pirs and imposing; edifices the spires
, 9t* which have risen as if by magic
above the sandv waste of the . so
called Back thry. 'territory. This W
est addition to the ceclesiastiml ar
chitecture of that section of the city
is by far the most original in de:;.ign,•
the most grand and inspiring of the
many churches which the genius of
the • modern architect has desig:ned,
and stands a noble monument to the
minds that conceived its proportions
and its beanties. and the liberality of
the parishioners Irho have contri
buted nnsparingly toward .it's
erection.
~~~ II.1: t. ~-::.t (:IMF•. 1~.1

This is the third house of worship
era:tea by the parish . , which
wa
foruud in 1 :2sy.the then existing;
Epiacopal Church - es—Christ Church
and
.Kin!* - 5 - Chapel—ilut being suffi
cient to accommodate all the wor
shippers. The first church was erected
at the corner of ts:'untiner street and
Bishop all e y (now Hawley street).
The corner stone was laid on the 15th
of April. 1:34. by the Rev. Roger
Price, .the - minister of the King's
Chapel, acting as tin... Commissary-of
the liishup of-London, the Diocesan.
It was: . a plain structure, of wood,.
ninety' feet in length, fitly feet in
width. and thirty feet stud. with a
gambrel roof, and stood with its,enet
to Summer st.reet. Thirty-seven years
before the blittle of Blinker IlllEutf
the 17th of June, 1;39. the Holy Siw
rament was administered within its
walls by the Rev. Mr. Addington
Davenport, assisted by the Bey.
Samuel, Ilabury, of New London.
Connecticutt ; and ou the rth Of
May. 1740, Mr. .I/avenport 1e ;one
its tirSt settled minis - ter. From "some
memoranda of Trinity Church, 1365t0n,"
ton," we gather several interestinL ,
facts respecting the early history of
the parish. In 1741 Peter Faueuil,
Esq.. offend f:lmi toward buying a n
or:ran. which cost I:300, and arrived,
from England three years later. In
1742 communion plate. table cloths,
prayer books, etc.. were presented by
Goy. Shirley ; in 1759 a bell, taken
at the capture of Quel Ice, was bought .
and erected on 'Trinity Church; the
" Greene Foundation for Assistant
Minister was founded in 1 - 163 ; in
, 1775 21Ir. Erving carried the records
of the church . to England ; Dr. Walk
er also went away with the Royalists;
" The Widow and , Orphans' Fund,"
-established for ministers of this
church, in' '1` 4 05 : in - 1 sl9 negotiations
were had with Itev. Dr..larvis ' from
the failure of whien arose' St. Paul's
Church :- the Sunday school -was es
tablished in 15 4 27, and the follbwing
year it was voted to take down - the
old building and erect a new stone
church. On the 17th of September,
Is2'4. the corner stone of the new
stinte chapel was laid on the sqlne
site. It was built of granite; . and,.
though not an object of great beauty,
was alWays attractive from its sturdy
solidity, so characteristic of the faith
of - which its pulpit has ever been
such a,profound exponent. Interiorly,
the eburch was a tine specimen of the
gothic. The church had -an existence
of forty-four years, and long before
the disaster which numbered it
among the things that were, a new
place' of worship in a•ditlerent local
ity was deemed a necessity by the
parishioners. .

of the church, - was deeply interested
in the new edifice, and during the
changes, incident to the Great Fire
contracted an illness which resulted
in his death soon after. At a ,meet

November 28; 1872, they reconi,
mended "to the Proprietors that a

- The lot of land secured lies between
Clarendon and-St. James streets and

area of nearly 110,000 square. feet.

In the foundation walls of the new
edifice. The original desiem of the
tower was a square, with turrets. at
.‘,..!ae1l corner, not unlike the tower as
at present, but stirmnrinted my an
octagonal lantern, also of stone,
some fifty feet hither. The walls
advarreed, and the tower.
"had begun to occupy the anxious at
tention of the building. Committee
and the contractors, when a sugges
tion was Made that the average load
proposed to be placeni upon each pile
under the tower would be greater than
some of the piles could be safely re
lied .on to support. A change was
accordingly made in the design. by
which the weight of the tower was
materially reduced. The octagonal
upper portion was abandoned, and
the excessive thickness of the main
wall not being required to carry the
superstructure, was reduced to the
dimensions needed only for its sta
bility. The tower roofs are covered
with red tiles from Akron, Ohio, and
the hiri.rolls and crockets were exe
cuted by the Chicago. Terra-Cotta
Company. The central tower, while
massive and grandin its proportions
and constructions, is nevertheless
light and grac'efuPin its effect.

The greatest interest in the interior
attaches to the decorations, which,
in seine respects, arc the most novel
and interesting features ofthe church,
on account cif the richness and har
monious artistic effect producei I. The
decoration of t he church was entrust:-
ed to a distinguished artist, Mr. John
La Fargo of Newport and New York,
' NVISO has. by giving an important
place iii his scheme to figure-subjects,
opened a new and interesting field
for future designers of monumental
structtires. The donduant feature, of
the decoration is the interior of the
tower, which, being lighted by twelve
large windows, is 'tire prinCipal source
of well as the central point
of the interior. It was not supposed
that the whole of the interior would
be seen as it is, and the at tists labor
ed to make the upper portion rich
nail attractive. Accordingly, within
the space of the-tower is crowded as
much luxury Of color 'as it can con
tain, and the highest intellectual in
terest is given - to it by the collossal
figures. angels, prophets, patriarchs,
each one a work of arty-: which arc
painted upon its walls. The concep
tion of this noble mode of decoratipu
is due to Mr. LaFarge,. who entered
into the views of Mr. Richardson
with rare enthusiasm, and the result
is, without doubt the finesl., , specimen
, of a decorated interioeto be found
on this continent.
In order.tekliminish the volume of
inclosed tar in the auditorium, and
thereby add to the acoustic
Mr. Richardson devised the turn of
ceiling now seen in` the
.building,
which leads itself admirably to varkd
effects of decoration. The ceiling is
placed across the tower at a 'light of
163 feet from floor, and ornamented
with the symbols of the finir-evange
list—the bull of St. Luke, the winged
-lion of St. Mark, the angel of St.
Mathew and the eagle of St: John.
Reside the symbol fur St: Luke is the
text, " Go ye therefore and teach all
nations, baptizing men-in the name
of the Father, of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost." Beside that of St.
John, "I will give them a heart to
•know irne, that I am_ the Lord thy
God, and they shall - be my people,
and I will be their God." The cor
responding spaces beside the other
symbols are filled by two mosaic
tresses of very large 'dimensions.
The arches above lice twelve win
dows are filled with Scriptural sub
jects, such as the Good Shepherd, the
Flight into Egypt, th,e'' Story of
,
.k.-01jiLti:

of which are based upon the antique,
copied from the paintings in the
Catacombs. Twp of these, paintings
are original designs, by fMr..T. D.
Millett of BoSton and Mr.. Maynard
of New York.
At the bases' of the small piers
which divide the windows are panels
upon which are painted heads of
biblical characters. Below this is a
gilt cornice, relieved with green, then
a mosaic border, and a broad gold
band, which encircles-the tower, hav
ing on it in brown Roman letters this.
text from. Revelations, chapter five - ,'
verse thirteen:; "Blessing, and:
Honor, and Glory, and rower be un- -
to Him that, sitteth upon the throne
and unto the ;Limn forever and
ever." Beneath this band, on the
east side of Ahe tower, arc figures of
. St. Peter and, St. Pant, surported
groups Of two angcls.on each side
'of the figures. ,On the north side are
figures of Moses and David, the, for
mer bearing the tablets of the law,
and the latter the harp, and these are
supported by single, angels. On the
south side are the prophets Jeremfilli
and - Isaiah, also supported by angCls.
The west side is at present left plain,
but will be eventually filled with ap
propriate subjects. The figures are
respectively fifteen feet high ; they
are witilout stiffness, the pose of each
being easyand natural, and they are
as imposing in their efiect as they
are grand in their proportions.
The Whole of the above decoration
is bound in on the arches which sup
port.the tower by a heavy band oc .
Id upon the red ground, which is
the color of the entire tower. The
four ch.stered piers 'which support
the Ante are painted a very de'ep
green, varied hi the smaller columns,
and the capitak are elaborately orna
mented and, with the heavy baStrs,
ar gilded. The chancel ceiling is
eoV,eTed With gold, relieved by a very
swan quantity of white mosaic deco
ratioct. Th4cnetrations of the seven
windows in,che chancel are dectirated
in .blue, green andtold, Wail figures,
and•dther deV i ices. On the piers be
tween the chancel windows are the
usual tablets, containing the Lord's
Prayer and creed, and the following
appropriate texts selected by .IteY.

by latye Latin crosses, ornamented
with gold. Beneath the ornamented
molding Which surmounts the lower
stage of the - apses is a wide border
of golden' colors similar to the well
known (me in St,larks, Venice... The
space below remains empty, and will
be filled with historical figures.
The window penetrations are all
gilded, and dpon the gold are orna

the building arc red with bands of
black and deep red, -except the clam

eel which is painted a.dark (riven.
The walls of the nave are left plain
for figure subject's, which will employ
the artists , during the remainder . of
the winter' andspring,• it being the
intention of Mr. LaFarge to carry
out his designs very elaborately.
The whole treatment of the decora
tion, as far as was consistent, is in
the Romanesque style, which corres-
ion with that of - the church itself.

keep within well atinthentieated pre
cedents, most a which belot,* - to the

large halls and churches. The entire
basement has been taken for a eham
berfor and distributing the
air, which is dime by five immense
iron stove the ednsutnption of which
is about a ton ot coal a day. The
air in the basement, •as fast
. as it is
warmed', rises through nearly' three
hundred openings scattered about
the floor.of the auditorium and neat
ly concealed under the ends of the
pew. During the presence. of the
congregation, the fires will have been
allowed to subside, and Ventilation
will be set, up by opening a-sufficient
number of basement windows on the
windward side of the church and
opening the great valve in the venti
latine shaft of the tower. The entire
apparatus, on account of its simplicii
tp, has been completed at a very low
cost:

contains the Vox Human stop, tl'e
measurments of which were taken by
the builder from the famous one in

of a choir singing in the distance is
quite remarkable. The greatest care

, TR F; MORALITY Or MAI , ;NERS.-
Manners 'easily and rapidly mature
into morals. As childhood advances.
to manhood, the transition from had
manners.to bad morals is almost im
perceptible. Vulgar, and obscene
objects before the mind, engender
'the impure, images in the imagina
tion and make unlawful desires pru
rient.- From the prevalent state of
the mind, actions* proceed as water;
rises from a fountain. , Hence: what
was originally.only a word or phrase
becomes a though, is meretriciously
embellished by the imagination, is
inflamed into a vicious desire, gains
f_
strength and holdness ,hy always 1 e
ing welcome, until at last, unThr
some urgent temptation, it daresfor
once, to put on - the visible form )f
action; it is then ventured opts
again ante again, niore frequently
and less warily, until repetitidn
forges the chains of habit; and then
language, 'imagination, desire and
habit bind their Victim to the prison
house of sin. In this way profane
language wears away the reverence
for things sacred 'and holy; :and
.a
child who has' been allowed to'follow,
and mock, and hoot at an intemper
ate man -in the streets is . far more
to become 'intemperate himt
self than if he has been accustomed
to regard him with pity, as a fallen
brother, and yrith sabred abhorrence,
as one self brutified or demonized.
So, on the other hand, purity and
chasteness of language tend to? pre
serve purity and chasteness of
thought and of taste; they delight in
the unsullied and the untainted, and
all their - tendencies are on :the side
of virtue.—/lorace akin. I •

NTERIOR OF THE HOUSE OF COM
MONS.
The rows of cushioned benches
at run down each side ofAhe House
are divided', erossWays, ,n' t distance
about one-third of the*whole, length,
by a -narrow passage, called the
Gangway, which used to have a more
important significance than at pres
ent, when parties are not so sharply
defined, alt i hougb even now it indi
cates a•certain,line of separation in
politics. Above the gangway, ,on
the Ministerial side, are supposed to
sit the most thorough-goingsupport
crs of the Government, while-below
it are those who profess to he- more
independent, and give• a general but
not indiscriminate vote to the Minis=
try. Not Oat the line is too strictly
drawn, and it is, - to a . certain:extent,
a cross -division, like that of I,lie fa
mous one of bread into white: bread,
black bread, and French rolls—for
it would be easy to name members
Who sit above the gangway :end oc
casionally speak =and vote .against
particular measures ot: the Govern
ment ; and still more easy -to mine
some below the gangway to whom-
_
the word of a Minister, is law, and
who have never been guilty of •the
crime of thinking the-Government in
the wrong: The same general dis,-
tinetion does not apply so strongly
to the Opposition side of the House.
The front row there• above the•gang
way is occupied-by the ex-Ministers:
but behind them Ist, many _who, if
the whirligig of ! fortune brought
those ex-Ministers into power, would
givei tltem a good Leal of trouble by
their speeches and their •votes. Be= low the gan!rwny, n the Oppositiori
(now the Liberal) Ode, the more Ad
vanced Liberals, o Radicals as they
used to be called, (although the name•
is falling into disuse), range, them
selN:es with undoubted preferOice.
There sit-Sir Charles Dilke. Sir Wil
frid Lawson, Mr. NicLaren; Mi. Ry 7
lands, Mr. :Muncie Mr. Anderson,
Mr. Richard, Mr.
.Reter - Taylor,_Mr.
Joseph Cowen, 'rofessor -• Fawcett:
and others, who are li4ly .to, cause
no little embarrdssment to any Lib
eral Government which asks ,`far
najority on which it can stead.ily,re-
ly. There also, either on the front
bench or that immediately behind
it, cluster the Irish Members, - whose
watchword is Home Bute. It is -.a
rule that no one may cross an
inary line drawn between the Speak=.
er and a member Who is addiessin7 .
the house. When we say "address
ing tile House," w, e mean addressing .
the'Speaker ; for 'every member-who
speaks, unless he• is merely asking a
question, is suppoSed to address Mr.
Speaker, and not the assemply. And
hence the reason of the rule 'justal
luded to. As thelSpeaker is the per
son addressed,,it,Would be an act of
rudeness to intei*st the , body be
tween him and the member who is
speaking to him. i Sometimes, how
.ever, in the heat of debate, a member
(espeeially itlie be a new member)
fOrgets that,* is speaking to the
Speaker, and - apostrophizes his audi
ence; and We have more than once
hoard an excited member, full of ree=
ollection of some Meeting of hiS 'con
stituents, say. " Gentlemen !" instead
of "Sir!"—an imPropriety at once
rebuked by loud cries of " Order! or
der!" As the rule about not cross
ing the line would! sometimes 'neees

sitate a rather tortuous eiretim-navi
vation to enable a member to react
his seat, it is amusing to see how i
k evaded by ducking the head am
stooping ;and almost creeping along`
until the point of danger is passed.
Noone may yise from his seat either
to speak q4:4ange his place, or leave
the Hotqe without taking off his hat.
in other words, whenever he is upon
his legs he must be uncovered. And
Ire may not cross the flo_or or walk
up or down, the House on entering or
leaving it without makin ,. o a bow or,
obeisance, as it is called in parlia'J
mentary language, to the Speaker.
But let not the uninitiated imagine
that it Is a Sir -Charles Orandison
bow. The merest inclination of the
head is sufficient; and it often looks
more like a familiar nod to the awful
ocenpant . of the chair than a dignified
homage to his authority, ,But — still,
however done, it iS a inaiVer respect,
and contributes something to the
preserv.•tion of order and decorum.
But as in the House of LordS ,the
woolsack is not part of the Hot*,
so in the house of:, Commons there
are within its sacred precincts (ex
clusive of the lobbies) spaces where
a degree of liberty is allowed that is
denied elsewhere. On entering the
house, see a line drawn across the
matting of the floor from'the seatme
.
copied by the Sergeant at Arin4F to
the opposite bench, and within this 1
line members• may stand with their
hats,oir and listen to the debate; but
outside of it they must 'sit, or
. to be
instantly called to "order.",. They
cannot, however, address the house
in this position ; but if they wish to
do so, must go,to one of the benches
and speak from that place: When
Mr. Plimsoll: began his, impassioned
attack on the Ministry for*ithdraw
ng their Merchant Shipping bill in
the season of 187', 1 S he wag. standing
at the door, but he had to move to
the benches and Ontinue his philip
pie there. There is also, within the
House a space be find the ; ,Speaker's
chair where mem ers may standwith,

we suppose, is that

a painter, would.approve of. Perhaps
we may best describe it as. that Of
undignified ease. Some with hats
on, and some with bats off, they may
be seen lolling, lounging, sleeping,
and even gently shoring. AlaVorite

of their 'demeanor, that they exclaim-:

the freqnently long buzz of conver

groans—ire fear that it would be in
clined to think that it was gazing
upon a body of noisy school-boys.
But if a question of profound inter
est is, asked—say, for instance, as to
the result of the conference at Con
stantinople—then ) instantly all is
mute .silence and fixed attention.
You might hear a pin drop or a
