When a Russian merchant becomes rich, he builds for himself a fine house, or buvs and Uioroutrhlv repairs the house of some ruined noble, and spends money freely on inlaid floors, gigantic mirrors, malachite tables, grand pianos by the best makers, and other articles of furni ture made of the most costly material. Occasionally especially on the occasion of a marriage or a death in the family he will give magnificent banquets, and expend enormous sums on gigantic ster lets, choice sturgeons, foreign fruits, costly delicacies. But all this lavish, ostentatious expenditure does not affect the ordinary current of his daily life. As you enter those gaudily-furnished rooms you can perceive at a glance that they are not for ordinary use. You no tice a rigid symmetry and an indescriba ble bareness which inevitably suggests that the original arrangements ot the upholsterer have never been modified or supplemented. The truth is that by iar the greater part of the house is used only on state occasions. The host and his family live down stairs in small, dirty reoaas, furnished in a very different, and for them more comfortable style. At ordinary times the fine rooms are closed, and the fine furniture carefully covered. If you make a visile tie politeste after an entertainment at which you have been S resent, you will probably have some ifficulty in gaining admission by the front door. When you have knocked or rung several times, some one will proba bly come round from the back regions and ask you what you want. Then fol lows another long pause, and at last foot steps are heard approaching from within. The bolts are drawn, the door is opened, and you are led up to a spacious drawing- room. At the wall opposite the win dows there is sure to be a sofa, and before it an oval table. At each end of the table, and at right angles to the sofa, there will be a row of three arm-chairs. The other chairs will be symmetrically arranged round the room. In a few minutes the host will appear, in his long double-breasted black coat and well pol ished long boots. His hair is parted in the middle, and his beard shows no trace of scissors or razor. After the customary greetings have been exchanged, glasses ot tea, with slices of lemon and preserves, or perhaps a bottle ol champagne, are brought in by way of refreshment. The female members of the family you must not expect to see, unless you are an in timate friend : for the merchants still retain something of that female seclusion which was in vogue among the upper classes before the time of Peter the Great. The host himself will probably be an intelligent but totally uneducated and decidedly taciturn man. About the weather and the crops he may talk fluently enough, but he will net show much inclination to go beyond these topics. From Jiuwia, by D. Jiaeksmie naUact. What the War means. The New -York Times, in discussing the declared purposes of the Kassian government, says : "This must mean to drive the Turks, as rulers, from Europe. Nothing short of this wiu protect tne Christians, now subject to Turkish power, from the abuses of which they complain. Russia, cannot govern the Christian provinces through the porte, because the porte could not, if he wished to, govern those provinces in any other way than that in which tbey are now governed. The power ot the sultan over the local authorities is a shadow for which he may fight, hot concerning which he could never give any satisfactory guarantee." AN D GOLDEX DAYS.

A LESSON FOR HARD TIMES. If one of the characters out of Dick ens' novels had walked into the room, I ceuld not have been more surprised. It was press aay; I was very busy in my sanctum, when I hoard the door open and a curious ehuffline noise lollowed. which made me look ud for a moment iroin my paper, ii was Dut lor a mo-I ment; I saw, as I supposed, a crippled beggar,, shuffling his way on his knees toward my chair. I waved him awav with my hand "NothiDr for vou." I said, resolutely, a little impatiently pos sibly, and turned back to my desk, caught up the broken thread, and wound off the completed sentence from the edi torial distaff. Hut the beggar was not repelled. He answered something; with a divided attention I could not make out what. " Nothing for voir." I repeat ed, somewhat more vigorously than be- rore. ine answer was plain enough this time; and in a tone that commanded at tention "I am no beggar, sir." i uau gotten to me ena r my sen tence now. Two or three weeks atro I had been studying the parable of the good bamantau. Perhaps the recollec tion of two very pious men who were in so great a hurry to get to the temple mar, mey couia not attend to the unfor tunate, mav have had innip inflnonoo nn me. I laid down my pen and went to the unknown. He was on his knees: his leers from his Knees to nis ieet were useless aDDendasrPS. which dragged after him and produced the shuffling sound which first attracted my attention. His whole bod v was dis jointed; his arms alternately hung down use ine wooaen arms ol a great toy, and movea aoout in a grotesque attempt at gesture like the toy arms when the im age is pulled by the string fiom below. When he spoke he wormed and twistefl his head from siJe to side, and contorted his face with the vigor of his endeavor, as though the words were 6tored below and could be brought ud out of a reluc' tant throat only by a wrestling and in vincible will. But his eye was clear, his dtow nign, and nis whole lace, when in repose, not unhandsome. " I have got sr mething to sell. eir. and : i - i i i ' ' ib is iiuuiuug, ei;uer. xoen x no u ceo. ror tne nrst time a leathern bag slung over his shoulder. With a curious spasmodic twist he dove into it and brought out a tin box labeled "Prof, 's soap; warranted to take out grease spots," etc., etc. In this as in every motion, his arms, and hands. aad fingers, made wild attempts before they succeeded iu their purpose, like those of a two or three months old babe that had not yet come into possession of itself. What brought you into this condi tion, my friend T" said I, looking down upon him. I was born a cripple sir." he answered. But," he added, quickly, as though he saw some sympathy in my face and would refuse it. "vou must not think that I suffer, for I don't. I have no pain ; it is only weakness ; weakness of the spine, the doctors tell me. so that I don't have good use of my arms, or lees. or face. But I don't suffer. And I am not unhappy." 1 could hardly look in his face when he was speating, his endeavors were so dis tressingly labored. I rarely give to beg gars; lor that very reason I am always reluctant to turn away any one, from the gamin who is sleeping the street cross ings up who is endeavoring to eain an honest living. I bought his patent soan and gave him the price a quarter. He turned to go away ; 1 should have as soon thought ot offering charity to anv other independent merchant ss to him, but I stopped him with a question. It needed nut a very little touch of sympathy to open his heart. He told me his story. I transcribe it here as well as 1 can. but I am painfully aware that it loses char acter in the transcribing : My lather was a mechanic. I was always, from my birth, as you see me now. He supported me till I was twenty-eight. But I didn't like it. I wanted to be self-supporting." i noted a curious feature of his lan guage. It was that of one born in the lower ranks, but self-educated by courses of reading outside the literature of his companions. I thought this at the time; it was confirmed by a suggestive hint afterward. " I told my father. I le laughed at me. What can you do?' said he. I told him that be could not alwavs support me ; he must die some day, and he bad no money. ' The Lord will provide,' said he. But that did not suit me. 1 resolved if I could not have my own way I would run away. I here was something pathelicslly hu morous in this picture of a man-boy of twenty-eight running away on his knees from a tyrannical father who despt tically insisted on providing for him. hether he actually did run away or not, he did not tell me, and I did not ask h;m . I bought this receipt for soap. At first I hired a man to go aroui d with me and take care of me, but that did not pay. Then I went to a hotel, and hind a porter to dress and undress me. In the daytime I took care of myself." AH this and much more for I am compressing a long story into a short one with labored speakibg; and labored listening, too, for it was not always quite easy to tell what was the word which the corkscrew brought up. Like an old cork, it was broken, and often came up in fragments. " I never expected to get married; for I never thought that any woman whom 1 would have would have me. Bat you know, sir, the old proverb: ' Every Jack has his own Gill ;' and I found my Gill. And I don't believe there is a man in New York that has got a better wife than I have." The pride with which he said this! and the love that lighted up his eyes! I could easily believe him. It must be a rare woman that could take such a men for her husband ; one that she must dress and undresf to the end an she would a nick child. I resolved at once that if might I would know that wife. "And don't you imagine that I am miserable, sir," he added. '" I seem so to you because ycu judge me from your joint of view. But I see many a rich mrn, and a strong mm, and I would not exchauge with tin m. I have my advan tages, too. Society claims a great deal of you ; but it never claims anythiog of me. I am independent." uu, wise philosopher I Is there any hy like that of a calm content? And I enjoy life : because, don't you see, sir, I have nothing to do but to study how to enjoy it." " Do you go to church?" I asked. ' Well, sir I am a member of the Bap tist church, hut since I have moved away from the old church and gone among strangers, I don't go to church, for it might create a sensation, don't you see?" Well, yes! I did see. I imagined this creature shuffling up the broad aisle of a fashionable church, or even of an un fashionable 'chapel, and thought he showed consideration for the worshipers and the preacher. " There is only one thing I want," he added. " I would like to get into a li brary." "A library !" said I. " What could . you do in a library ?'' " Oh, as a member, I mean, sir," said he, "I would like to get books out to read." I took down his address, and with all the inimitable dignitvof a gentleman, he invited me to call. Then, with an apolo gy for having taken so much ot my lime and an inquiry for we had exchanged names whether l was the "historian Abbot," he shuffled out of my door. had hardly got to my seat and my pen in hand, before I heard him shuffling back again. He peered 'round the corner of the doorway, and with that curious jack in-the-box motion of his, held up three fingers. "Third bell," he said, -"ring the third bell," and he wasoff again. And I sat down and thought ; thought of the poor woman who began two years ago by selling her thousand dollar piano, and last week was found with her clothes and furniture all pawned and her only flannel garment, the remnant of an old blanket, wrapped around her; thought of that merchant who eighteen months ago was contributing to the support ot one of our great charities and is now de pendent on it for bread for his family ; and here is this cripple, without the right use oi legs, or arms, or nana, or voice. supporting himself and his wife, " happy as a king," and asking charity ot no one; and I said, 1 will leave the thread un spun on the editorial distaff until I have written down this lesson for hard times. W,ELSH PLUCK AXD EXDUEAJiCE. The Explosion att the Troedyrhlw Col liery near Pontypridd Cymric Hymns In Clmerlan Darkness. It may be surprising to learn ihat the attention ot England has teen turned during the week from the gathering of the armies in the east and directed to a little hamlet in south Wales. It is not hard to find in human nature the reason for this. The looming war, with all its Erobabilities gf slaughter, of desolated omes, of widows and orphans by the hundred thousand, had only been re garded in the popular mind through dip lomatic lenses. The war was still a game of chess, but suffering brought to the people's doors, as it were, by the aid of newspapers, caught the sympathy of the million. It was" the story of a disaster at the collieries. Scores of such calamities to the men who work away dowd in the dark, taking their lives bv hundreds at a time, have occurred within the last few years in England, and the horrors of them have arrested attention for a day or two. lhey were stories of sudden catas trophes; a low subterranean rumbling heard ; a -olumn of smoke rising into the air; the gathering of white-faced women and children at the pit's mouth ; after some hours the bringing forth of grimy corpses in the cage; next day a great funeral that shook the whole country side with its passionate grief, and then all over. AH over in two or three days. But there at Pontypridd there was a prolonged agony. The oonespondents of the moming and evening papers poured into London's great ear, hour by hour, the intensity of the effort and suspense that hunsr around the Troedvrhlw col liery until Ixmdon could think or ppeak of nothing else. THE DISASTER. Ac explosion, followed by an inunda tion, occurred ten days ago. Nine men were imprisoned behind a column of coal one hundred and twenty ieet thick, which had fallen with the first shock. There was a mystery about their fate, but the warm hearts of the south Wales colliers decided swiftly that if sturdy arms could unravel that mystery ere too late, it should be done. Work was begun and willing hands were superabundant. Night and day the toil was unremitting. and so it went for a week before the first ray cf hope was given to the toilers. As the time rolled on the interest grew, and London held its breath in anxiety to learn the fate of the imprisoned or en tombed. At length on Thursday last sufficient progress had been made to open communication with a group of the men five in number, the other four having wandered away to other parts of the mine. Now came the awful moment. Brave, tireless, ceaseless, and sleepless the rescuers worked inch by inch to their brethren in the living tomb, guided only by their knockings from the gloom. As the rescuers worked onward the voices of the men in the dark could be heard singing their Cymric hymns. Tears of joy welled down faces black with coal duat at the solemn sounds that told them that God was strengthening the hearts of their comrades to endure till they could be saved. - THE BEfitTE. At last a passage was made, and one by one, weak, but still alive, the five men were borne on brawny arms to the light of day. This was yesterday after noon. Hundreds of thousands all over the land wept with joy. In London the excitement knew no bounds. The home secretary was questioned in the house of commons to know if the news was authentic; the queen telegraphed to Wales for a confirmation ; crowds gath ered around the newspaper bulletin ; the papers are full of the praise of the res cuers, the details of the rescue and the strong endurance of the men whe were saved. The Welsh bravery of last week will be sung in the Eistedfodds of the Cymri for ages. N. Y. Herald. A Yictim of the Cnster Massacre.

Felix Adder's Oplalon of the Liberal yf OTprjseai 1st fsi Professor Felix Adler's lecture yester day was listened to by an assemblage so large that it packed Standard hall to its utmost capacity. 'Ihe subject of the discussion was "Reform in the Jewish and Christian churches." The lecturer said : " Of all the forces in society there is none more conservative than religion No opinion is as strenuously maintained as a religious opinion, no institution is so slow to yield as a religieus institution. How powerful, then, must be the cur rent of liberalism when its influence is already seen in the church and in the synagogue in the attempt made to re concile religion and reason, llow inter esting is such a movement! Let us di vide our subiect into two parts, namely : liberal Judaism and liberal Christianity, and let us take the former as our theme for to-day." Beginning with the asser tion that the liberal movement among the Jews had begun in Germany and that its leaders have been almost exclusively Germans, the lectarer gave a brief and comprehensive sketch of the rise and progress of Jewish reform. He described in graphic words the terrible persecutions inflicted upon the Jews in the middle ages, their massacres, exiles and oppres sions, and said: "The theory of the Christian church, carried out bv the Christian rulers, was. that at the time of tne crucifixion ot Ubnst the Jews lor feited all rights to existence." Referring to their social and political ostracism, be added : " Nothing was left them but the petty traffic of the pedlar or the dis- nonoraDie caning ot the money lender. The Jew of the middle ages has been held up to modern chivalry as an object of loathing. It is but a trick of the Philistines who first deprived Samson of his sight and then led him out to taunt and deride him. It is most wonderful that, with all the trials and hardships they endured through centuries of re lentless persecution, they preserved theii purity unsullied. It was their religion which enabled them to do this, and it was this religion which made the com mon bond that held them together, scat tered as they were to the four corners of the earth. The Jews walked through history as in a dream ; war raged, em pires fell, customs changed; but it was nothing to them, they preserved their iron stability and remained changeless. At the end ot the last century, however. a new feeling came over mankind with the new birth of poetry, philosophy and humanity, and the hand of fellowship was at length extended to the Jews. Mendlessohn, the author of Jewish re form, began the work with his translation of a part ot the bible into German, a step which the rabbis were not slow to perceive would be foUowcd by many other innovations. The emancipation of the Jews of ranee, brought about by the labors of men like Abbe Gregoire and Mirabeaa, came soon after, and the victorious i rench armies carried Iiberte, egalite, fraternite, into the ghettos of Germany. Ihe services of Jewish sol diers on the battle-field of Waterlood and Leipsic sealed with blood the cove nant of the new emancipation for all timetocomt. This new state of things changed their attitude they lived no longer in the past as they had done in the darker days. They began to take an interest in the present. Great changes were needed to bring Judaism into har mony with the new conditions, and their history is the history of the reform movement." Dr. Adler referred briefly to the salient paints in the reformation, namely, the educational work and the reform in public worship. He alluded to the introduction of choirs, organs and sermons into the synagogue, and to the establishment of the early temples, es pecially that of Jacobson in Ifanover, and the Leipsic temple, of which the now veteran Dr. Zunz was rabbi and the com poser Meyerbeer the musical director. He spoke next of the new legislation in the science of Judaism, begun bv Abra ham Geiger and his co-workers, and con tinued : Changes were made not only in externals, but doctrines long esteemed fundamental were boldly challenged. Patriotism was the lever of reform. The Jews said, ' If we belong to the father land, to return to Palestine were treason, to expect the Messiah is useless' so these ideas were abandoned. They said, 'If we are to mingle with the world, the dietary laws which were intended to keep us separate and distinct must go;' so -they were abolished. And when it was said that these rest on the talmud, it was answered, ' Then the talmud must go.' Or on the bible, ' Then the bible must go, too.' Even so important an ordi nance as the rite of the covenant was called in question, and other equally fun damental points. If you ask, then, what remained of Judaism, this remained: First, the belief in the monotheism of the prophets: and, second, the Messianic mission of the Jewish people. These are the pillars of the reform movement to day. What these reforms did was this: They cleared Judaism of the externals which had grown up around it during the dark ages of persecution, they sim plified its doctrines, they purged its ceremonies, they cut off many fasts and feasts, and waged manful warfare against superstition. They raised the moral level ot the people. Their mission was to emancipate religion from the thraldom of the past, and to fix it firmly in the present. The first they did; did they accomplish the second? It were un grateful to blame those who have done so much with not doing what they could not accomplish. We cannot deny that the movement at present lacks magnetism and vitality. The old leaders are pass ing away, and their successors have not even scholarship. True, they have hand some temples and impressive ceremonies, but such outward pomp is oiten tne sign of inward decay. It is not sufficient to cut off a few prayers here and there, and remove a few obnoxious passages of the Hturgy if what remains is equally re mote. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob no longer aroused any enthusiasm in the breasts of the people, ana as to tne story of the Red sea, why even the children in the nursery have ceased to believe it. The contrast between profession and practice, too, ia striking.

I 1 ' practical questions which demand treat ment in tnese times, as ior ourselves, we. in this work, are related neither to Judaism nor to Christianity ; for us the time has come to unite for those urgent practical purposes which demand our attention." In conclusion, Dr. Adler referred to the attacks made upon him in the public prints, and said : "A word to the reformers, inat tneir leading men should join in the hue-and-cry against us is deplorable deplorable, not fr us but for them, as showing their weakner-s. On what plea can they re sist the new methods tried now to ac complish what they have attempted and failed to accomplish? Our sole crime is a differtnee of conviction from theirs. I implore them not to lessen the value of conviction, which is tho alpha and omega of morality, I implore them to remem ber their years and dignity ana inevriiu by .which they were beset when they preached their then new doctrines but a few years ago !

Conceit is also very bad. ine author oi tne aoove gem is as much at home in the fields of vig orous and picturesque description asm the regions o subtle and metaphysical analysis, as witnesseth this thrilling epi sode on " A shipwreck " " Ticture to yourselves the poor sailors and the men the women and the children, also tne passengers, clinging tontatiously to the masts and the roaring billows!" The Turks at Home. There is no Turkish home-life. By home-life, I understand the frequent gathering togetherunder the same roof, and in the same room, of the members of a family, and all the influences and attendant circumstances which such fre quent gatherings imply. The Turkish house cwnsists of two parts, one for men called the selamlik, and the other for women called the haremlik. These are usually the two wings of the house, and are commonly altogether separated from each other by a central hall. Thus the men have their part of the house and tho woman theirs. Neither is allowed, with out permission to enter the territory of the other. In a Turkish house, the men and women do not take their meals to gether, do not sit around a table, ami can hardly be said to feed decently. 1 1 is quite possible for men and women who do not know the use of a fork to lie very clean about their food, but Ihe tiso of a fork is a great step toward cleanli ness in eating. A Turk holding a con siderable position in the stato will take a handful of boiled rice from the common dish, and after having squeezed all the water out by working it weU in his hand, will put the lump into the mouth of a guest as a mark of peculiar favor. There is a slovenliness about Turks at their meals which is probably due to the fact that men and women do not take their meals together. The object of the meal is solely to eat. Small tables, usually without cloths, the dishes ready for every one's fingers, and the absence f a score of small conveniences which every European tables furnishes, could only be tolerated by people who get their meals anyhow. What is said of breakfast applies equally to the other meals during the aay. Tho civilizing effect upon a household of requiring all the members to meet together, the atten tion which has to be given to dress, and to certain proprieties ot lile, the conver sation which takes -place; are all so many influences which the Turkinli house is entirely without. The truth is that the separation of the women from tho men absolutely destroys every thing worth speaking of as home life, and causes the life of a l uric- in nis own house to be utterly wearisome and stupid. Cor. LotHum Times. Relief at Fires. The Burlington Hawkeye, speaking of the scheme of shooting ramrods with string attachments into the windows of burning hotels, observes: "This is in deed a grand idea. Tho only drawback to its practical operation is that a terri fied truest standing at a window shrieking and liowling for help, would have been very much surprised, and not greatly tranouilled or reassured on finding him self suddenly transfixed with a three-foot ramrod and a coil of string. And unless the fire department is vastly better on the shoot than the police, the probability is that not a window in the hotel would have been broken, while the streete of St. Louis would have been full of howljng firemen and weeping citizens, pulling iron ramrods out of each other." A Royal Visit to the United States. It is pretty well settled that the Prince and Princess of Wale- leave England for Australia in the winter of 187-9. They will return through the United States. The country will pay all expense, and the royal couple will thus be able to af fect a little economy, which their strait ened resources very much need. Tha prince, without being extravagant, has now spent every farthing of the money which was accumulated during hia mi nority of the duchy of Cornwall rents, and he is now running into debt. If the queen does not assist him, he must soon apply to parliament ; but the Australian visit is meant to stave off the evil day. The Arcadian.
