A NEW WELSH KAILR0AD LINE
Mr. and Mrs Gladstone the First Pas
sengers from Ha warden to Liver
pool by the First Passen
ger Train.
One of the most beautiful ancient
British modes of teaching divine lessons
which has come down to us is the cus
tom of decorating graves with flowers
on the first day of spring. I say first
day of spring, for that Is the time of
the year Indicated, but by following
the moon's movements. Instead of the
so-called movements of the sun, the
""time of observing the floral rite of tlow-
erlng the graves la constantly Bhifted
as to the date. The moon time comes to
vs. from the Jews. Tlnir year was, und
Is still regulated by the moon, and the
"new moon" was the time in March
and September (O. S.) or Nisan and
Tlshrl, when they commenced their
sacred and civil years. At the com
mencement of the sacred one thoy
Killed the Passover ram, and at the be
ginning of the civil year they killed the
lillygoat. But the custom of flowering
graves Is a broad Bunlight custom, and
has nothing sanguinary about it It
has more of the greatly-libeled Cain
about It than of Abel. The last named
by his practices resembled Typhon, the
Egyptian Pluto, far more than the for-
mcr, iinil Plutonic penple still hate the
I floral lessons of Cain, and throw every
I impediment In the way of its disciples
ju pmuiiuiiig u. .i lie pieo, in me. oo
tructionists Is that the people are ani
mated by a competitive spirit In decor
ating graves with flowers on Flowering
funday. Would there were more com
petition in doing good, and In the prac
tice of beautiful ancient customs! Oth
er object to it as popish. This objec
tion Is monstrous. What would we have
had today were It not for the ltoman
Catholic church? Let us revere her for
her past mighty services to mankind,
. and heartily forgive her the mistakes of
her fallible priests. Ilut it Is not a pop
ish custom. It is a pure Druldic or
Birdie, survival of a grand period when
all British people studied the things
that were made and seen with a view
to understand the unseen things of the
Highest. The ancients had no books,
but they had the pages of the seasons
which were unfolded before their eyes
by on Unseen Hand. Those pages were
untarnished by the hand of bigotry,
prejudice, Impudence and Ignorance.
Kach page seemed to say, "The Hand
that made us Is divine." What a beau
tiful page Is that of spring. It Is dec
orated with snowdrops, lilies, myriads
- of daisies and daffodils, "that come be
fere the fwallows dare." Each beauti
ful sprout, bud and flower of spring
smiled the charming smile of hope In
the haunts of men. Mrs. Hemans
heard the sweet song of spring, and her
. words wore! -
I come, I cornel Ye called me long.
I come o'er the-mountains with light and
song:
Ye may trace my steps o'er the wakening
earth,
' By the wind which tell of the violet's
birth.
By tho primrose-stars, in the shadowy
grass,
By the green leaves, opening as I pass.

Ing her wood notes of herself 88 the
harbinger of immortal life. To the
people of the olden time the renewed
life in the earth In the spring time was
profoundly interesting. It was life
thrilling around tho graves where lay
their dead. It was life coming from the
Author of all lives, and its possibilities
delighted all to meditate over. The al
mighty skill manifested In the exquisite
artistic, forms and colors of flowers and
leaves spoke to them that the artist
Himself was dust? at hand, even among
the graves of the dead, in many a
mouldering heap. All the dead were
burled with faces towards the eat, be
cause It was from there the Divine
Spirit seemed to exercise his reviving
power through the sun. And the New
Testament seemed to hint that from the
east point of the sky the last trumpet
would be heard, summoning from their
narrow beds the dead. It appears that
sill antiquity, especially the inhabi
tants of Britain, believed that the resur
rection of the dead would occur in the
spring of the year, and that the glor
ious new bodies to clothe them there
with would come ready prepared like
the flowers of spring. For thousands
of years the Wclsh-Urltons have, as a
religious duty, gone at Easter to the
graves to remove the ruins of winter
and plant them with fresh llowers; and
It was forsaorly the custom at Easter to
color the graves white, the old Welsh
hue of holineses. But the Puritanical
leprosy came into Wales, and, asso
ciating religion and the hope of another
life with melancholy, it nearly broke the
heart of the liveliest nation In Europe.
Laughing, which men and women can
only do, was a sign of spiritual dete-
oration: whistling was a sign of being
certainly In league with satan. Love of
nowers was a sign of spiritual frivolity.
but, Instead of blacking grease on one's
shoes on Sunday was an Infallible sign
of the holy unction of the heart. Danc
ing on the green and May games were
certain indications that one was trott
ing rapidly down the "way" that is
"broad," but which ought to be "nar
row."Havuig long been In the leprosy
school, it is very slowly that the Welsh
leaders of thought are becoming recon
ciled to the revival of the beautiful
anelfnt customs of a highly poetical
people, who were wont to see fairies in
the glens, dancing in the moonlight
to the harpings of angels In white.

the Western Mall, should not a chair of
journalism be founded In one of tho Welsh
university colleges, with Morten as Its

This is how a writer In the early part of
the century refers to Aberdare: "A place
of enviable retirement, remarkable for
picturesque, and romantic scenery, und is
equully characterised by! features of beauty
and of grandeur. Its majestic groves of
onk und tir, alternating with fruitful corn
field and luxuriant meadows, etc." A
commentator upon this says that If the

According to a London journal which
seems to be making a special study of
hazardous spires and unsafe cathedral
windows, "the latest disquieting news of
our national churches Is that the tower
of Wrexham church Is In danger. It is a
magnificent piece of architecture, and Is
known as one of the seven wonders of
Wales some say because It is the tlnest
Gothic erection in Wales, If not In Great
Britain. It was begun in the yenr If.Oii,

there Dr. Edwards lived for years. Dr.
David Charles also tarried there for many
years, as also did loan Pedr, and last, but
not least, Principal Michael D. Jones. The
Rev. James Donne also Sojourned there In
the early days of his career. Mr. Donne
Is famous In Welsh dissent as a divine

Welshman living.
Science Is getting popularised In Wales.
Mr. Arthur Mee's fascinating contribu

to make the young generation in Wales
have an Idea of the motions of the heaven

are following suit, and Llysleneg the

with great Interest by his friends In Car

When Tom Hughes, who recently died,
came to Wales he felt himself a bard, and,
on the principle of doing in Rome as the
Romans do, be perpetrated rhyme. Stay
ing some years ago at the Pen-y-gwryd
hotel, at the head of Llanberia Pass, which
hostelry was then kept by a Mr. Henry
Owen. An inspection of the visitors' book
revealed that Charles Klngsley, Tom
Taylor and Tom Hughes, when staying .it
the hotel on a certain occasion, had evi
dently experienced bad weather, for they
amused themselves by writing bits of
rhyme in the book on this and other mat
ters, each contributing a verse In turn.
Here Is ono from the pen of the author of
"Tom Brown s School Days":
"I came to Pen-y-gwryd

Both of 'em men of letters;

BUSINESS BREVITIES.
PENNSYLVANIA STEEL CO. The
annual report of th Pennsylvania Steel
company shows that the concern Has
been thoroughly rehabilitated and la
entering upoa a new period of pros
perity. The year 1836 waa not a good
on In th Iron trad, yet It seems the
company did very weU. The gross prof
its at uteeiton were MSS.989.12. and at
Sparrow's Point $24!.S1.79. or a total
of S695.950.91. The dividend of 5 per
cent declared by the Juragua Iron com
pany is not included In this total, as
it was not received by the time- the
year ended, but If Included) It would
swell the total by $37,600. The Interest
payments were unusually large because
of the adjustment of the floating debt,
and the reorganisation expenses, legal
and otherwise, were very considerable,
so that the net profits were nearly all
absorbed. With only four months of
good buai less last year, the company
earned about 1709.000 profit The an
nual fixed charges are 1350,000. the pre
ferred stock dividend calls for $105,000
more, so that It seems on even the dull
.business of a year like 1895 a fair sur
plus is earned for the common stock.
With business in a normal condition,
the results would be much better.

RAILWAY BONDS. According to
Messrs. Clapp A Co.'s circular the

year the bonds dealt In were of the
face value of 15G.670.8SS, and the aver
