    THE ANGEL OF PATIENCE
Beside the toilsome way,
Lonely and dark, by fruits and ilovto t,
Which so worn teat tread sadly, day b = al e y
Longing in vain for rest' „,
Au angel softly walks,
With pale sweet face, and eyes east meekly
down,
The wbile, from withered leaves and flowerless
stalks,
hle weaves my fitting crown.
A sweet and patient grace,
A look of firm endurance, ue and tried,
Of suffering meekly borne, tr
rests on her face—
f:lo pure, so glorified.
And when my fainting heart
Desponds and murmurs at its adverse fat,
Then quietly thaangers_hright lips part,
Whispering softly,—"WaTfr-
"Patience I" she sweetly saith—
" The Father's mercies never come too late;
Gird thee wit h patient strength ruid trusting
faith,
And film endurance—wait 1"
Angel ! behold, I watt.
Wearing the thorny crown through all life's
bourn—
Walt till thy band shall open the eternal gate,
And change the thorns to flowers.

"The Brawnville Papers." By Moses Col
Tyler. Boston: 'Fields, Osgood & Co. For
sale by. Turher Bros. & Co.
Somehow the determined geniality of "The
BraWnville Papers" reminds us of the desper
ate, grin on the mug of a prize-fighter coming
up to time. We have no complaint to make
of this; and can but admire the nitr-oxidizing
virtue of gymnastics, which keeps their vo
taries in a perpetual snicker entre cuir et
Chair, so that all the obstacles and difficulties
of life are treated as nothing worse than dum
mies ,to be boxed, or horses to be leaped over,
or weights to be deprived of their gravity.
Mr. Tiler, the professor of English Literature
in Michigan University, having been invited
by the Herald of .Health to furnish a bodily
culture series, responded by the chapters
,
coMposing this volume, now published
ter' tbe evangelization of the world
in Physical Happiness. The essays, which
are 01 the radically Mark Tapley sort we have
indicated, are accidentally evolved, as it were,
in a sort of colloquial and playful way, from
the exploits and the conversations of a group
of obaraoters,whom the author actually saw,
he
says,y residing all together in a single New
England village, in their well-beloved Utopia
of dymnastice, the peerless and immortal
community of Brownville.
The quality of the book may be tasted in
the following extracts, the first relative to the
initial mass-meeting in the village for the
purpose of establishing a public exercising
place. This meeting, being of great civic
importance, should have been held in one of
the houses of worship in the village; but:
As the use of either church seemed sure
to awaken great asperity of feeling, it was
decided to hold the meeting in the school
home, and thus avoid complicating the plan
by any side issues. But Abdiel Standish, who
conceals beneath a rough exterior and a
Yankee provincialism an unusual amount of
good sense and mother wit, and who never
loses - an opportunity of worrying Deacon
Snipti, met that devout man at the door of
the' Post-office a few days after the denial of
his church. and in the presence of quite a
crowd of people, who expected to see some
fun, Abdiel saluted him thus: I
" say, Deac'n, why wouldn't you Fuel
Church folks let us have your meetin'-house?"
"We think, Abdiel, that the church of God
ought not to be used for a profane purpose."
"And do you call it a profane purpus, the
raisin' o' funds to build a gymnasium?"
"Most certainly!"
"But, Deac'n, 'spose the objick of the
gatherin' was to raise funds to keep the
meetin'-house in repair; would you call that a
profane purpus?"
"Why, of course not, Abdiel—what a
strange question!"
"Wal, Deac'n, ain't our bodies, which God ,
made, jest as sacred as the meetin'- house,
which man made? Doesn't the Bible say our
bodies air 'the temples o' the Holy Ghost?'
Now, Deac'n, I should like to know what is
gymnasium but suthin' or other to help keep
the livin"temples o' the Holy Ghost' in re
pair, to help keepin' on 'em from faille' into
decay, and becomm' old and rickety afore
their time, and unfit for the uses which God
']mighty intended 'em fur? Ef you call that
a profane putout', why, all I've got to say,
Dew's), is that your idees of profanity air
'bout as much mixed as the old darkey's idees
o' prayer wus?"
"How was that, Abdiel? I don't know
what you refer to."
"1/Val, Deac'n, I kind o' thought you didn't
—so l'll tell you. You see, Deac'n, there wus
a • prayer meetin' among the black folks
somewhere, and the preacher asked if
some brother wouldn't lead in prayer.
As is often the case in white folks'
prayer meetin's, there was a long pause.
P.yrneby, a half-witted fellow, named Zeke,
begun a string o' words that hadn't no meanin'
to 'ern. Of course, the darkey thought he
was a prayin' to the Lord; but man couldn't
make head or tail o' what he wus sayin', and
it seemed likely that the Lord couldn't neither.
So the preacher looked lip and said: 'Who's
dat prayin? Dat you, Brudder Zeke? Jess
you hold on,Brudder Zeke; you let somebody
pray dat's etter acquainted wid the Lord.'
Sol say, Deac'n, jess you hold on, Brudder
Snlpp; you let somebody talk about profanity
dat's better acquainted with what profanity
The poor Deacon made no attempt to
reply.
A FESTIVAL OF LIGIIT GYMNASTICS.
The meeting was opened with a display of
the dumb-bell exercises, performed by some
thirty or forty little boys and girls, all in
bright and graceful gymnastic costume. It
seemed as if the interest of the meeting must
have struck twelve at the very be'ginning.
The moat of those present had known of the
exercises only by report, and as the fairy-like
troupe of beautiful children, to the accom
paniment of stirring music (stirring in more
senses than one), dashed through these move
ments, in perfect concert, with great '}agility,
precision and vigor, with an indescribable vi
vacity, with an airy lightness and statuesque
grace ' the people at some passages actually
field their breaths from astonishment and de
light; and I could see many an eye—no doubt
og brother or sister—glistening with happy
team. But when at last the end of the
series was reached, and the music stopped,
and the little athletes began retreating from
the platform to their seats below, the whole
• .
assembly rose to their feet, clapped their
bands, waved their handkerchiefs, and filed
fike,'Mr with acclamations of applause. It
teas a tittered scene. It was the irrepressible
joy of fathers and mothers, of brothers and
elate*•exulting in the new-born beauty and
felicily:of•those most dear to them: but • the
gadn'uat;children, not understanding this ex
plosion of enthusiasm, paused for a moment,
a u tiow l a hlime,d, but were soon restored by
410Ovely that all this uproar and commo-
tion meant prase,,find lie: they reached their:
eerite,and exch ang ed quick glances with cash`

druseing , and - sparkling with so much joy. l'

4 . An old men t i renowned , for ivisdoin
thrOugh, halt: a. dozen villages, sat upon.the
porch,of his humble •cottage; hi - the early
morning hour, to converse with his neigh
bors, should any of them that day seek his
counsel. First came an athlete—low-brewed,
zuddy-eheeked.strong-arrned,of mighty chest,
and with a ponderous frame knit of muscle
that moved and glistened like animated steel.
'0 father, what more is left for me to do?'
'Find out that you have a mind.' And the
athlete went his way. Then, from the com
munion of his books, came a student—pale,
emaciated, devoured by the voracity' _ of his
own brain andterves, his eye luminous with
poesy,his pure marble forehead towering like
some noble dome of knowledge 'and thought.
'0 father what ' more is left for me to do?'
'F!nd out that you have a body.' And the
student likewise went his way."
"SPARTAN GOOD SENSE."
Those old iron -fisted Spartans knew a
thing or two. They had a wonderful genius
for hitting the nail on the head. Look at
this. Every Spartan citizen must be a
soldier; but no one was' fit for a soldier unless
he were healthy. Therefore, if a puny child
came into the world, they voted him not
worth raising, and just huddled the poor brat
off to the mountains, as food for the crows.
That was a little harsh, to be sure. Yet it le
probable that a puny child was seldom born
among them; for, knowing that a race of
heroes could not spring from a race of sickly
mothers, they arranged that the mothers
should not be sickly. Here is what their
law-givers said : "Female slaves are good
enough to stay at home and spin;
but who can expect a splendid off
spring, the appropriate gift of a
Spartan woman to her country, from
mothers brought up in such occupations ?"
Well, if the ladies were not to stay at home
and spin, what upon earth would they do ?
Why, go to the gymnasium, of course,! Yes,
there's the rub. How can you get them to
go ? The Spartans did it easily. Did they
fine them for not going.? No. Did they
threaten to hang them or shoot them ? No.
Did they offer them betlutiful dresses if they
would go? No. \They appealed to a
stronger Motive tha avarice, or fear, or van
ity. They ordained,t at no Spartan girl could
get married until she demonstrated her pro
ficiency in gymnastics I So the thing was
.done, and no more bother about it. Ah !
if our American Congress would but take the
hint, what a rush of Yankee girls there would
be to the gymnasiums I
SANITARY REFORM.
" What is the scope of sanitary . reform?
Ahl I can give you a beautiful answer to that
question. It is an answer which I remember
as occurring in a lecture by that once glo
rious Muscular Christian, Charles Kingsley.
'Sanitary reform,' said Kingsley, with felici
toui alliteration, 'is a sacred crusade against
dirt, degradation disease and death !' What
can be desired better than that ?"
In concluding our extracts from this lively
and really very pleasant work, we think we
ought in justice to give one which shall de
fine its tone on subjects more important than
bodily well-being. There is a good deal of
semi-religious talk somewhat like this with
which Col. Higginson (who seems to be a
paladin of Mr. Tyler's) is introduced to the
Brownville society.
WHO ARE THE INFIDELS ?
"Yes; I have heard from Colonel Higgin
son. The letter came to-day. lam sorry to
tell you that he is unable to be with us at the
opening of our Club House."
Such were the words of Judge Fairplay, at
one of the meetings of the Club, three or four
weeks ago, in reply to a question of a
member.
"A gentleman at the other end of the
room," continued the Judge, after a pause,
"says that he thinks Colonel Higginson's ina
bility to come is not to be regretted, because
Colonel Higginson is an 'infideL' It is not
best to take up much time in this place in dis
cussing this subject; but lam anxious, in all
kindness, to say to my friend yonder, that
when he makes such a remark about such a
man as Col. Higginson, I am more sorry for
him than lam for the Colonel. [Laughter.]
Please sic not laugh, friends. You thus
put a sting into the remark which was not
rneaut to have any. Ido not wish to give
my friend a pang, but a suggestion. But as
to that word 'infidel'—you know we New
Englanders have always objected to the old
southern mode of arguing with any anti
slavery man so unfortunate as to stray
into their country. This was their
mode : Not to answer his ar
guments, but to tar and feather him.
Well, have you ever considered that to eall a
man by so damning a name as 'infidel' is to
use, essentially, the same evasive mode of
logic—is to cover the man with a verbal
coat of tar and featheis ? [Lalighter and
cheers ] On the whole, I think the slave
holder's real coat of tar and feathers is not so
bad-:-nay, that it is not so malignant, or so
mean either—as is the theologian's ideal one.
The former will wash off—the latter won't.
[Laughter.] Pardon me, dear friends;
.L am, perhaps, betrayed by your
kindness to say too much. [Earnest
cries of 'Go on V] But I want to suggest
that we should remember three things, in case
we are ever tempted to call any man an 'in&
de—especially, if it should be such a man
as Thomas Wentworth Higginson, a gentle
man of devout and pure life, and of great
benignity of character, to say nothing of his
being a patriot, a brave soldier, a superb
scholar, and the most exquisite prose writer
left to America since the death of Haw
thorne. [Great cheering.] Let us re
member, first, that this word 'infidel'
is but the puppet of Geography, and
that we who use it in such a case do but ex
pose our own servitude to a local narrowness.
Consider this. You call Higginson 'infidel;'
but the Pope calls both of you infidels—Hig
ginson and you, too; and the Greek Church
man calls all three of you infidels—Higgin
son, you and the Pope; then the Jew gets up
and calla all four of you infidels—Higginson,
you, the Pope and the Greek Churchman;
then the Moslem is ready to call all five of you
infidels—Higginson, you, the Pope,the Greek
Churchman and the Jew; and, finally, some
big priest on the other side of the Chinese
wall will peep over that huge structure, and
swear by Confucius, that the whole lot of you
are infidels, and barbarians to boot; and so
yon can go around the globe, and you
will begin to discover that 'infidel'
is a bad name, which one part
of the map is inclined to bestow on all the
other parte. Now, if we New England Cal
vinists have such a monopoly of the truth
that we are entitled to Call the first 'serious
divergence from our views a serious error, let
us at least show, by the language we use,that
our enormous endowment of truth has , not
deprived us of our good sense [loud cheers],
to say nothing of our charity. [Cheers.]
That is the first thing to remember. The
second,is this: that whosoever applies so in
jurious an epithet for a difference of opinion,
'inflicts the greatest injury which modern law (
;permits to him, and he really •oies' tbe great
company of persecutors — he ' . belongs his
torically to the party of Torquemada,
Bloody Mary and Blithest - Bonner. [Cheers.]
And this is the third point: that just as a

Porter & Coates. Of thlielq, have done well
to republish from the g l Oili7efilition. Their
issue, besides, has certain feetnres, peculiarly
American, which we shall notice directly.
As for the original werlc py "Stonehenge"
(J. H. Walsh, F. R. (l. ' s.), it is learned and
elaborate, commencing with studies of the
historic breeds of Syria. 'Greece, Rome and
Ancient Britain; then Riving &general outline
of the physiology and proportions of the
horse; then describing the various modern
breeds, from the Arab `' . to the American
Trotter; then attending in detail to the
considerations of breeding, nursing, breaking
and stabling the animal; then giving 'a tew
plain directions for riders; then discussing, at
a length which occupies half. the volume, the
anatomy, physiology and pathology of the
horse, with great detail and extreme veteri
nary ability. Thus far the work of Mr.
Walsh, which, for British readers, is about
complete. The Ameripanization of the trea
tise has been effected by adding a chapter on
the American Trotter, prepared at the desire
of the publishers by Dr. Ellwood Harvey, of
Chester, in this State, a gentleman with
whom the thgme has been a matter of in
t elligent study and research for almost a life.
time. The book also gains a peculiar value
for American readers by the judicious notes
and additions of Dr. Robert McClure, the
favorably known author of "Diseases of the
American Stable, Field and Farm-yard."
The work, thus perfected, has been neatly
published in a volume ofnver 500 pages, in

paintings and photographs. of such lights of
equine history as Dexter, Flora Temple,Lex

may safely say, in a literary Sense, that "all a
steed should have it does not lack," in this
thoroughbred expose.
Collot's French-Euglist and English-

well printed and on, goild paper, octavo
size, and divided into fifteen-cent
numbers, to be issued weekly. Here is
a way to get a first-class work of reference at
an impalpable expense.
Magazines.—From Turner Bros. we re
ceive the following magazines for April:
Onward, Mayne Reid's monthly, adapted to
please all who like the racy tales of the pro
prietor.; The Riverside. Magazine jor
Young Folks, particularly well illustrated;

From the publishers, Se well & Co., Chicago,
The Little Corporal for April.
The editor who selects serial tales for
Littell'a Living Age is infallible, and there
is no better brand on a paper- cover than the
motto "First isstjed in America in the
Living Ag 6." We receive from Mr. Duf—
field Ashmead the last novel that has been
emancipated from the serial form and pub
-I.sbed complete. It is a reliable story of
English society by Mrs. Cashel Hoey, and is

Anthony Trollope's penultimate tale,
"Phineas Finn, the Irish Member," is pub
lished by Harpers in their usual form of oc
tavo pages with two columns, and is adorned
with transfers from the original illustrations
after Millais. In dissecting character keenly
and closely, without any fuss or nervousness,
Mr. Anthony Trollope has the firmest hand
possessed by any modern penman. The
book, in , cloth, is for sale by Turner Bros.
"The Gates Ajsr." by Mrs. E. Stuart
Phelps,is a little story of the nature of a para
ble, and dealing with the inmost things of the
soul; it has awakened deep discussion, and
must have been largely read, since it has al
ready reached its eighth edition. Turner

Appleton's Weekly Journal, with the
first chapter of Victor Hugo's new story, will

and 'howls vvhakthe taste indicatea—namely, thatlt is the

It also demonstrates that the STAR WATER contahn
about
100 Cubio Inches More of Gas
in a gallon than any other spring. It is this extra amount
of gas that Imparts to this water its peculiarly sparkling

A QUEER STORY.
Don Piati sends from Washington the fol
lowing story to the Cincinnati Commercial.
We take the liberty of saying that we think
a portion of Ms doubtful:
There never was a more lively Illustration
of evils returning to afflict the inventor than
in , the present situation of Spain. The
Catholic element in Europe, now under the
control of the Jesuits, was the one deadly
element influencing the governmente of that
part of the world , to act in hostility, against
our republic - when its hour of trial came.
Protestant England, although doing us more
material damage, stood alone between us and
final ruin. The Government at Rome recog
nized the Confederacy, and brought every
influence to bear to induce France and
England to follow the evil example. Louis
Napoleon ,went so far m that direction as to
make the proposition to the English Ministry,
and inaugurate the Mexican war, that termi
nated in the empire of Maximilian. Poor old
Spain, asl much under the influence of the
Jesulte, followed their lead as far as her
ability enabled her.
This was no sudden impulse, growing out
of circumstances that seemed to open the
way and make temptation irresistible. It
was premeditated. The leaders of the revolt
South went into the , war with a clear under
standing that they were to have help from
Europe; and the Jesuits of Europe aided the
rebAlon with as clear an understanding, in
advance; of the end to be gained, the means
of gaining it, and the material they had to
work upon.
There is prooj tGositive of this inexistence,
and - some of it fell under my own observa
tion. You remember George Saunders, the
man of the huge head and tmbounded
stomach. In 1801 he wrote to Ohici that war
between the North and South was Inevitable,
and that Louis Napoleon would take adieu
tage of that flint to invade Mexico, and place
his cousin, Prince Napoleon, upon the Mexi
can throne.
What was prophecy then is history now,
and if one asks how. George Saunders came to
knowao well the intentions of a man who,
like Grant, smokes and says nothing, the
answer is to be found in the fact that in 1848
Saunders was sent to France as the agent of
Colt,to make contracts for his navy revolver.-
While in Paris the restless, audacious Ken
tuckian fell in with Prince Napoleon, and
subsequently with Louis Napoleon, and, the
two were saved from a very light diet, if not
starvation, by Colt's money.
The intimacy thus commenced continued
through after years, and when the leaders of
the South were casting about for assistance,
they found a valuable, diplomatic agent in
George Saunders, who first made them ac
quainted with the element they could count
on should the foul designs find vent in open
work.
When Vallendlgham made his infamous
speech in the House, calling upon our Gov
ernment to submit to the offered arbitration
of France, he knew, as Saunders knew, that
France was already committed as the ally of
the South, although no open move had been
made to aid the Confederacy.
Wherever the Jesuits had a foothold in Eu
rope, we were made to feel their malign in
fluence, and it was only Protestant Europe
that held back and saved us. I sat down to
writesof Spain. I could fill my' letter with
evidence of the deadly hostility of this infa
mous order to our republican institutions. It
is not generally understood, but it is the fact.
that the Catholic Church has a two-fold na
ture—one that is purely religious, and, there
fore, unexceptionable; and the other that is
political, and, therefore; dangerous and ob
jectionable. Upon no government had the
Jesuits such a hold as that of Spain. And
during our war Spain was inoffensive because
she was feeble.
Now, as I said before, Spain has her
troubles, and the justice she meted out to us
we can measure out to her. As Spain told
us that the South was entitled to a choice of
her own government, we say that Cuba has
a right to hers. The larger part of the island,
and all the native Cubans, are in a state of
revolt. This rebellion would long since have
been quelled but for the hope held out that the
United States would sooner or later interfere.
Since the inauguration ~t his hope has been
strengthened by open encouragement. The
Cuban emissaries are here intriguing with the
administration and openly negotiating with
Congress. You notice the result in resolu
tions before the House, and the late order
sending a large fleet of war vessels to the
West Indies.
I had a long and interesting talk with oi.
of these emissaries last night. I cannot pub
lish all that he told me concerning the strug
gle now going on in the island, but I can say
that he assures me that fortified as the
Cubans are in their strongholds, and supplied
as tbey continue to be with provisions, that
it is impossible for the Spaniards to subdue
them. He says that the people are animated
by a patriotio impulse in behalf of inde
pendence, but that as soon as' the in
dependence is accomplished they will seek to
become part of the United States. In earnest
of this he calls attention to the emancipation
of the slaves.
There were some things I heard from this
gentleman, who is a very intelligent, culti
vated man, ; directly connected , with Cuba,
that were very interesting. He'toid me that
spies in the.pay of the French and Austrian
Governments, selected by the Jesuits, we.
living in Washington, received in good so
ciety, and possessed of all the means of in
formation such . people generally get access
to. He'pointed•drie of these out to me,'and
I was surprised to:-find : in him au, acquaint
ance who had won upon my liking, bypre=
tending to 139 a Red Republican and a ,Dem
&sat , '
It is well known that the President sypa4
pathizes with the Cuban Revolutionists in
. •
their struggles*, sod I can easily trace to his
nova of a good cigar his satiety to have the
lovely little isle a part of the United States,
.hVhea fee the Catblrd.7
Thomas M. Brewer writes in the April
number of the Atlantic Monthly:
"One rainy' day; the peat summer, as we
'sat by a window looking out upon the flower
bed, grit attention was attracted to a catbird,
apparently buried head end shoulders in the
soil, and trying to extricate himself. Our
first impulse was to run to his rescue, Amp
posing him to be in danger from some hidden
enemy; but we soon discovered our mistake
when we saw him gradually 'emerge, drag
ging out with him, not without some diffi
culty, a very large grub of the Maybeetle,
which he had detected in the- very net of eat
ing the roots of our favorite geranium. The
offender was forthwith pounded to a jelly,
and in thia condition borne offto the bird's
nest hard by, where it no doubt gladdened
the heart of one , of his nestlings.
"Our good opinion of the catbird is'con
firmed by the recent experience of President
Hill, of Cambridge. A favorite elm, near his
house, was attacked last - summer by a large
swarm of the venessa caterpillar. Tney
rapidly devoured its foliage, and threatened
soon to despoil the tree of fie beauty. One
day, when he was.about to bring ladders and
attempt their removal, and was eonsulering
whether this was practicable, he observed
catbird fly to the tree and.begin to aestroy the
caterpillars. geeing this unexpected relief, he
• deferred any interference and awaited the re
sult. Nor was he disappointed. In a few
days the catbird entirely cleared' the tree.
The writer was an eye witness to a similar
result, but in this ease the tree attacked by
the venesta worm was a poplar, and the birds
which cleaned thera out were Baltimore
orioles."

Wasuusoroa, March 24.—The report of the
Judiciary Committee on the Tenure-of-Office bill
was sent to the Senate at 1 o'clock. Some sur
prise was manifested when Mr. Grimes took the
floor and said he would oppose the bilL He said
he believed the President should have absolute
control over the appointments and removals.
Mr. Morton said he would not op ose the
measure, se it removed all practical .1 culties
and gave to the Executive that power which
properly belonged to him. While not opposing
the,measure neither could he , give it his approval,
as it did not:. - wholly concede the principle at
issue.- _ ;
Mr. Harlan followed, taking strong grounds
in favor or the Teoure;of-011Ice bill Its It stood,
contending that every President should be re
stricted from removing or appointing at ilia plea
sure without being held responsible, .and.con
eluded without saying that he would vote fOr the
bill as modified.
Mr. Fowler add he had notoriginaily snoported
the Tennre-of-Office bill, nor did he believe. the
principle a sound one, and he would therefore
vote for the amendments to the bill.
The galleries of the senate are well filled
with spectators, and the interest in the
debate seems unabated.- At t 1315- hour It looks as
though quite a number of long speeches are to be
made before a vote will be reached, and the pros
peels are not very favorable to a vote being
I reached to-eight.

Hair Vigor„
For the Renovation of the Hair.
The Great Desideratum' of the* Age.
A. dressing which
is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or - gray
hair is soon restored'
to its original color
and the gloss and
freshness of youth. '
Thin hair is thick- ,
ened, falling hair checked, and 'bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore' the..
hair where the follicles are destroyed;
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
Foal such as remain can be saved, for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi=
ment, it will keep it clean and vi,orous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
longer on the hair, giving it a rich
glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
