"May bo you think we'll split wood all day. Nell ain't big enough, and mother 6ban't and I won't." "When I was yorng children didn't sauce their elderi." Mollie disappeared in tin sitting room, banging tbe door behind her. Tbe deaccn returned to tbe barn with big brimming pails and told Phil that he should go and split wood, and Davo mast work for two mean while.

David ppeedly kfs tho barn before Lis orders should bo countermanded. Phil and Lis father worked silently for a few minutes and then Phfl thoughtlessly began to whistle. "Don't waste your whistling," said t'je deacpa immediately. "When peoplo try .to wLifdh and work, too, they neglect the work for tbe Dlav. i Look at me 1 I never whistle." "Good i.aaoa for it," said -Mollie, coming in with a pail cf hot water, followed by Davo with another. "Yon havu't any teeth. Dave a'a't big enough to lug two pails of hot water."

"Ain't I tbackfol that I ain't a b.-y," said Mjllie, vatcbing them from the window. "I have a notion that they don't enjoy life particular ly to day. I can't imagine why fath er should be so anxious to clean rainy days, unless it is because be can rmso free." "Mollie, said mother, "I guoss wo will make sonto dougbnnts for the boys for supper. We'll have them good and sweet too." "They'll need sweetening by that time likely" meaning the boys. "I've got a morsel for father, by-aad-by, too. I'll take it out to him by-' aad-by." Her mother sa;d nothing, but thought that perbn;u a sweet diugh cut wouldn't hurt MoIIio. l)dtt n f;ur acd five o'clock Mol lie looked cut towards tbe barn, and exclaimed "Weil do look! The boys are wtshing the busrgy aad father has led out the horse. He is coming in for something." The "something'' was hot water, soap and a cloth. "Now what oro yoa going to do?" asked Mollie. "I propose to wash the horse's face and neck in soap suds." "Well, I would P replied Mollie, heartily. "Better carry out your tooth brush for Lis t-jctb." The deacon went back to the barn with his implements of torture, and found the boys squatting under tbe buggy talking. "Go to work!" bo shouted. "Stop your talking! Do something! Folks can't talk and work too. What does the law allow a holiday on Saturday for? It ia to kt the" children help their parents to clean up for Sunday. "We are doing something," snarl ed the boys. "Do more then ! Work faster ! Work bj fat von can't talk ! When I was a bor I never talked when I worked. When that is done you can waf b the wf eel-barrow." "Csn't we corce in out of the rain?" whined Dave "We'll catch cold." "You can play ball when it rains. ho yoa can wash wairon? " te - - o "We excrcieo when we play ball," id Phil, who was studying physiol- sa ory. "It terp8 us warm." pcess a strap will keep yoa I warm as a bat would." Then the deacoa turned hia atten tion to Lis bone. He washed its eyes till it could hardly open them for the soap. He scrubbed its nose and dug into its nostrils with his fingers till it sneezed. He washed its mouth and tetb, and grabbed hsia of us tongue aad ecratched it vigorously with his nails to remove the "fur." Then he got a stick and wrapped tie cloth around it and probed its eara till the poor beast snapped at hira, whereupon the dea con up witn hia No. 12 and dealt it heavy kick "to cure it of a bad trick." I erbaps a kick delivered to the dea con ia tbe proper place might have cured him of a bad trick, too. When the horso was rubbed down, the cow had to partake cf "the luxury of a warm bath." Ho waa cornering the pig when Mollie came out. "Mother's got something gocd for supper," Ebe said to the boys, and then she went to the stable. "How are yoa getting on?" she asked. "I hope for once to have cne clean place od the rrem'ees. Boys!" No answer. 7. AUGUST 2S. IS7S. "Doys !" They came running to the boggy f.'oni tbe corner of the barn, where they had set tho wheel barrow under the eavespout. "Bovs!" "Did you call?" inquired Phil, coming to the stable door, cloth in Land. "Yes." "Yon see the rain makc3 no much noiso we can't hear you. Do you want uo?" "I should not have called you un less I bad. How near done are you?" "Oh I don't know. Pretty near," said Thil, feeling 113 if he was b8 twe3n two fires. "Whan yon get done, come and .sweep out the mangers and wipe tleai out with a damp cloth." "Wouldn't soruo vanilla be good to scent up the corners?" inquired Mol lis "Bojs, miud you do your work thorough. I do mine so it won't have do be done over again." "I hope yoa didn't forget to rinse ol their brains," said Mollie, grave-Ij- "Mary if you Lave nothing but iaipadeaco to cfTjr, you caa retnra to i the bouse." I "All right. I only came out to soe if you would be through washing the i;cas ia time to go to that dea cons' meeting to-night. It's most sis." The deacon straightened up aad locked after Mollie's retreating fig ure, and then at the damp horse, thought of the ncly washed buggy, and of bis promise to cirry tho min ister to the meeting. And there was that harness freshly oiled and not put together. A sniif of brim3toae pervaded tbe stable. Phil appeared at tho door followed by Dave. "Did you call?:' "Go back to your work ! Seems to mo you hear mighty easy when you aia't wanted." "Tbe wagon is djne." "Where's the wheel barrow ?" "Oh ! Well, we're finishing that." "We'll you put it up, and thea go bto tha house and don't let me see yon again to-niirht. Dj you hear?" They didn't stop to remind him of the raaagcra, but capered off, rescued the whct-l-barrow from its shower bath, and dashed into tbe house. Meantime the deacon wasn't very thorough with the pig. He only washed one ear, and the pig went back into the pen. When the dea con went ia to supper the boys were sneaking ia the cjrner, aad trying to keep oot of his way. "Did I tell you to go to bed ?" ' Why, no," said Phil, "I didn't Lear you." "Wcli, I tell you now !" "They won't have their Sandoy St bool lesson then," said Mollie. "If I bear another word Good evening, good evening. Glad to see yoa. Won't you sit down ?" This last was to the minister whom his wife had just brought into the room. "Thank you. I came to tell you tbat the meeting is postponed, bo I thought I would sit with yoa for a season. I didn't think it was so near tea time." "Glad you came ia. Draw right up and have some tea.

It is worth while to come to Eu rope, if for no other purpose, to get a bird's-eye view of America ; or, aa a bright American girl expreEsad it, to look at our own country through an inverted telcsccpe. We will never as a peoplo seo ourselvca aa Europe sees ua, and it is not well that we should, for, with all our national pride and variety, we have not the exaggerated opinion of our own greatness, and the contempt for the unwortbiuess of everything trans-At-lanlic that is bo charming and in genuous in Englishmen and French men. The average American has not B3 much conceit as the French man or as much stolid arrogance aa the Englishman. But, however bo littio we may admit the justness of their verdict, it ia a wholesome edifi cation to kaow that a large majority of foreigners, especially in Franca i and England, look upon us with very much the same pitying contempt that we regard the South American republics. I have come to the con clusion, since I have bad an oppor tunity for observation, tbat we are more libera! and cosmopolitan t'uan our cousins on this side the water. Their ignorance of everything Amer ican is sometimes amusing. Last week I was talking with an intelli gent English lady, well versed in Euglisb literature and politics. We were felicitating each other on the immense number that spoke the Eng lish language and the larger number tbat would speak it ia tbe future. I told ber that tbe English speaking people in the United Statea number ed 40,000,000; she replied; tbat in cluded the slaves, does it not? I have beard cf an Englishman who insisted on tbe right aud necessity of seces sion because, he Eaid, if Providence had intended tbat tbe North and South should be one government be would have given the two sections broader geographical connection than the Isthmus of Darien. We have not succeeded in making a very good impression on this side the water, and especially are tbe habits, dreaa, atd manners of our tourist population offensive to the French. Tbe French ae & superficial people themselves, and take a superficial view of every thing, and, it mast be admitted, the average American traveler is not su perficially attractive. With these volatile, amiable, graceful, conceited apes, elegance of manner, of dress and address, are all the law and proph ets. The American abroad is good natured, amiable, direct and uncon ventional ; or, in the eyes of tbe Erencb, awkward, rude, ill-dressed, and disgusting. He ia tolerated on ly in shops, and only for bis purchas ing power. Tha mean way in which he is imposed upon and made to pay from twenty to fifty per cent more TT 1 1 than the regular price for everything b tonches. tastes, wears, cr looks at, for bis newspaper, towel, soap, nankic. etc.. ad infinitum, some times makes him nsa bad language, in nliin Enariish. ot coarse, tor tbe lancuase of diplomacy and love, even if he knew it, would not be .nfTirspntlv emphatic. When ha U3es the emphatic language, acceni nanied by energetic gesture, the po lit thievta and pickpockets who have robbed him, look oa with ag gravating urbanity, their charitable I ..arts full of pity aad contempt for the barbarian who has been so unfor tunate as to exisl all bis existence out cf Paris, without opportunity for acouirin? the perfection of bow3, smiles, facial gayety, gracefulness of pose, and deceitfulness of phrase, pe cnlinr t,T tha Deonle whom oitaire described as a combination of tbe monkey and tbe titrer. 1 wish I had space to tell of some of tha outrag eous skinning and gouging cf Ameri cana that have come unner my own observation. I think it will react on theso people, and, in time, they will learn tbat tbey have killed the pro ductive gocse" But, at present, the mania for European travel ia strong. It has become the fashionable thing trt coma to Europe. Swarms of Americans from all parts of the Un cion, and from Canada, are ranging the continent, spending usuaily the largest portion of their time and money in Paris. Formerly only Americans came to Europe, those who bad struck oil, a government contract, or cotton plantations. Now tbo United States sends forth battal ions wbo come with only four or Evo hundred dollars, for pleasure, to study art, or for general culture. The old class set tbo example of high prices, and Europeans Lave been only too happy to believe that tho chief pleas ure of Americans is to spend money. The eld wealthy class of American travellers have by their prodigality done a great wrong to those who come after thera. It is edifying to see a number of Americans travel abroad. No people in tho world have such a facility of fraternization on foreign soil. The English and tLo F'recch hold themselves aloof from their fellow countrymen for fear they may meet some cno they can not speak to at home. But Ameri cans, whether from Charleston or Boston, San Francisco or Baltimore, arc immediately en bon report with one another, and the way they de nounce the customs cf the people, tbe avarice of shopmen and inn-keepers asd tbe poorness of the. table from ore end of Europe to tbe other, is, as a showman would say, both mora! sad instructive. There is on ly one subject on which they disa gree, and that is ia reference to prec edence m dishonesty of different peo ple. The party is usually divided be'.eea the French and Italians, but the Siss have a large and enthusi astic constituency. C. A. S. A blaeae Woman Raasled lo Denlb. Aa officer Avan was patroling Pa cific street, below Stcckton, about half-pas: three o'clock this morning, he beard som? muffled police whistles tbe sounds evidently coming from tbe basement cf tbe second building below Bartlet alley. Planzing down a rickety stairway, into the opium dena and sleeping holes, he groped along alow corridor toward the rear of the building, where a bright light could be seen and where tbe whistles were echoing furiously. Pushing his way througii a group of half a dozen aud wholly stupid Chinese that stood around the blaz?, the cflk'er got a view of it and saw the horrible spec tacle of a Chinese mo man lying on her back oa tbe door, kicking and moaning, while ber clctYn; was in a blaze from head to foot. Tho horri ble roasting continnca until the offi cer could get some water and sever al buckets of it had to be dashed on before tbe l!a.e was extinguished. Tbe Chinese gazed indifferently on all tbe while aud did cothing. With Officer Fleming's assistance the un fortunate victim waa picked up and carried to the city prison, together with four of tbe Chinese, who were arrested on suspicion of having been concerned ia tbe affair. Tbe woman was literally baked from head to foot. Her hair waa barned from her bead, her eyes burned out, aad ber skin bung ia fragments from ev ery part of her body. She still re tained consciousness, however, but in response to tbe question cf an inter preter would only say: "I was hun gry ; I got up to eat and caught fire." There was a deep cut on the back of her bead an incb and a half long, ev idently made with some sharp in strument, but notbiog could be learn ed of its origin. Tbe hall in which the woman was found was filthy in tbe extreme, and had every appear ance of a prison. She bad been there a long time, judging from what conld be learned, aud was tbe only woman ia tbe building. She was said to have been incurably sick, and been shut up to die, though only twenty four years eld. Whether the parties desirous of ber death hastened it ith coal oil and a match, or whether she, by means not apparent as there waa no fire in the rocm except a dim lamp on tbe wall set herself on Gre, will probably remain one of the myriad mysteries that the under ground dens of tbe Chinese quarters conceal. Tbe woman lingered until about 1 o'clock ia great agony, and then died. Her name was uoy Chin. San I'ranri.ico Post the llaatoa Mirer Tvaael. It is announced that within a month work will be resumed on tbe Hudson Iliver Tunnel.

SolomoaV Temple and It, Bnln We kaow from Jo?ephus, that ia tbo time of our lore, Jerusalem was honeycombed with secret galleries and canals; not Lko the sewers tf modern Paris, for drainage : not like tbe catacombs of ancient Home, for refuge and catcrment, but for the purpose of war. Every fortress Lad a secret passage for escape. Not once, but many timos. the Hoaiana were astonished by the ghosts which seemed to rise from tbe ground, a- John of GischuJa rosa, wan in aspect, on the startled Uoman sentinel."

Shafts leading into tanks were closed a id openings into secret passages walled pp. Ola cisterns were ia tims for gotten, and the gallery leading ua der ground from the citadel to Zioa to the Temple on Moriah waa partly lost I say partly lost, bocause a le gend long survived among the na tives that David street, above ground, was so called from tbe fact that it ran over ana along a subterranean passage which David had caused to be maK from his great tower on Zion to that part of the Temple which is now entered by the Gate of tbe Chains. This legend is preserv ed by the Arab writer. Menr cd Din. Our picks aad spadsa have Lapt i:y revealed this secret thoroughfare a main point perhaps tbe main point lor a scientific reconstruction of Jerusalem in the days of our Lord. Alejor ilson bit on the first import ant facts. Tobler has seen a large pool, called by the Arabs El Burak, from the neighboring Mosque. It lies near the gate of tho Moors, a little North of the Jew's Wailing place. Going down into thi3 pool and lighting a magnesium wire, Wil son found himself under an arched roof formed by stones of great siz3, fixed m their places without mortar, like tbe blocks of David.s Tower. The span was more than forty feet Little more waa done, except to give this arched roof or chamber the name of ilson, just as the lower arch (cow gone, aa we have seen,) waa called llobinson's Arch. When Captain Warren afterward saok a shaft outside the piers, hefound that tbe whole structure was of tbe samo age as the Temple wall. On getting down to the lower courses cf that wall, be found water flowing from North to South, much as he Lad found water (lowing down the cor responding valley. In ancient times, as we know from the bible, tbe sides of Moriah were washed by two liv ing brooks. These waters have long been lost to sight, but under tbe ac cumulated Leaps of centuriei we have now happily found tLe?e living brocks. It soon became apparent that the great arch had been bvilt aa a cov ering for tbe pool now called El Burak, from the Mosque closa by. Further excavation proved that Wil son's Arch had been connected with a roadway from Zion to the Temple. Piera ana vouissoirs showed the di rection of the ancient road. Tbe great span was not repeated, but a series cf shorter spans carry the road to a point on the opposite hill. Along the whole line of this ca ise way Warren found remains of tanks and conduits ; here dug in the live rock ; there built cf solid masonry. In many pi a cos he found halls and chambers, some cf which had clearly been used as reservoirs. Leading to the South, under the fifth arch cf the great viaduct Warren passed un. der a small gate with a lintel, to find himself in a passage lying under Da vid street Here then, we had found the secret passage from Zion to Mo riah, which Mohammadan legends asscribed to David. Tbe Tunnel was twelve feot wAe, the aach a semi-circle about tbe siae and with something of tbe shspo of the military galleries at Dover and Gi bra' tar. Much filth and dust had gathered in tbe bed, bat tho vault above was clean and white.

Mark Twain tells the following story, related by a fellow-passeager, who, bantered about his timidity, said be had never been scared since he bad loaded aa old 0.aeen Anne musket for his father once, whereop on he gave the following: Ycu see, the old man was trying to learn me to shoot blackbirds and beasts tbat tore up tbe young corn and such things, so that I could be of some uto about the farm, because I wasn't big enough to do much. My gun was a single-barreled shot-gun, and the old man carried an oIdl"ien Anne musket that weighed a too, made a report liko a thunder-clap, and kicked like a mule. The' old man wanted me to shoot tbe old musket some time, but I was afraid. One day though, I got, ber down aad took Ler to the hired man and aked bim to load her op, because it was out ia the field. Hiram said : "Do yoa see those marks oa tbe stock aa X and a Y oa each side of thel)neea'scrown ? Well, that means tea balls and five fclugs that's ber load." "But how much powder ?" "Ob," says be, "it don't matter; put in three or four bandfulls." So I loaded her up that way, and it was an awful chaage I bad ene enough to see that and started out. I leveled ber on a good many black birds, but every time I went to pull tbe trigger I shut my eyes and wink ed. I was afraid of her kick. To ward sundown I fetched ber up to the house, and there waa tbe oM man wailing on the porch. "Been out bunting have ye?n "Yes sir." "What did yoa kill ?" "Didn't kill anything, sir; didn't shoot her off was afraid she'd kick." And I knsw blamed well sie would. "Gimma that gun!" tbe old man said, 8vi mad as oia.
