John street, New York, who retired
from business thirty years bo. He
was one of the founders of the Beth

of the first to inaugurate the Fulton
street prayer meeting, of which he
is yet a faithful attendant. His son
John was a source of trouble to hip
father, and left his home in 1846.

the object of the meeting by telling
him that his prodigal son had re

house; that he had been faithful and

The Temperance Work in Baltimore.
The religious work in progress ev
ery day at No. 24 German street, in
charge of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, continues to
show successful results that are en
couraging to the charitable ladies
who have been devoting so much of
their time and efforts to the reforma
tion of men. Among the many who
have declared their allegiance to the
Christian faith within the past week,
through the instrumentality of these
meetings, have been several gam
blers, a man who has been a drunk:
ard nearly forty years, a most de
praved seaman, a liquor seller, the
brother of a Roman Catholic priest,
the father of an actress, a young
salesman in a large business house,
and several more cases equally as in
teresting. The inquiry meetings
offer a spectacle which it would be
difficult to find anywhere else, even
in the noted meetings at Jerry Mc
Cauley's in New York Ladies oc
cupying high social positions sit and
talk without the slightest hesitation
with uncouth and dissipated men,
and enter into their troubles with an
earnest sympathy that never fails to
touch their hearts. The meeting
yesterday was opened by Mrs. Sum
merfieid Baldwin, who prayed with
great fervor for the advancement of
the cause of righteousness. Mrs.
Sophia Smith spoke in demonstra
tion of Christ's power to save, using
in illustration, the miracle wrought
at the pool of Bethesda, and closed
with a prayer in which she remem
bered especially several seamen who
had been converted at these meet
ings and were to sail to-day. Cap
tain Datton, of the steamship Sar
dian, related several thrilling con
versions that had come under his
observation, and prayed for a mani
festation of the power of the Holy
Spirit. Mrs. Dr. H. M. Wilson told
of a child lost for several hours, and
the anxiety of the mother and the
interest of friends in searching for it,
and applied this as an illustration of
the love and sympathy of Christ for
lost sinners.
The reception on the 22d was a
success. The following notice will

A HOLIDAY RECEPTION.
On Saturday (Washington's birth
day) the Women's Christian Tem
perance Union will hold an all
day reception at the rooms of the
Young Men's Christian Association,
to which all men who have been con
. verted at Mr. Moody's meetings or
the meetings on German street, are
invited. Admission will be by card.
The most interesting thing about
this is that there will be no formality
about the reception, and the young
man who is out of employment and
has but one uit of clothes for work
and Sunday, will be as welcome as
the merchant. Cards of admission
will also be given to such men as
have been attending the meetings,
who are likely to be exposed to temp
tation in the way of intoxication be
, cause of the holiday. Dinner will
be 6erved at noon, and tea at 7 o clock
in the evening. There will be a
meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
and another at 8 o'clock at night.
For mora than a month these
Temperance meetings have been
held every afternoon at the ware
house, No. 21 German street They
were commenced at the suggestion
o' Sir. Zl3(?dy, who istatei in a ser-
to
on
a
oa
is
mon before the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, that if a prayer
meeting and Bible reading could be
carried on by Christian women on a
business street, in the middle of the
nity, it would do more good than
anything else. Accordingly the la
dies got permission to use this va
cant warehouse, and went to work
with a will, and the meetings have
been successful from the very Btari
They mapped out no plan of action,
but simply went to work with confi-
dsnce in the elhcacy of faith and per
sistent prayer. A few benches and
ihairs were all the furniture they
put in the place, and the very first
day they commenced the services the
hall was crowded with men. If the
ipace had been twice as large it
would have been filled at every
meeting. It was with fear and trem
ling that some of the ladies ven
tured out in the enterprise. The re
sult has been a genuine surprise.
The most surprising thing about
the meeting is acknowledged to be
the faculty for successfully address
ing large crowds of men which the
the ladies have exhibited. Those
whose timidity had kept them from
even speaking in the little meetings
where only a few of themselves were
gathered together stood up without
i tremor before a room full of men
and made addresses that could not
have been better suited to the occa
sion.
In the meeting on Saturday Sirs.
Dr. Henry LI. AVilson spoke with
earnestness from the test in the 10th
chapter of Deuteronomy : "I call
heaven and earth to record this day
against you that I have set before
you life and death, blessing and curs
ing; therefore, choose life, that both
thou und thy seed may live." She
earnestly urged the necessity of a
speedy choice between life and death,
between blessing and cursing, be
tween grace and sinfulness, and
pleaded with the tempters as well as
the tempted ones to make a right de
cision. Mrs. Sophia Smith, treasurer of
the State Temperance Union, follow
ing, reading the description oi tne
city of the New Jerusalem, as found
in the last chapter of the Book of
Revelation, and made comments on
the bright expectations which the
future holds for all the righteous.
Mrs. McLeod read by request a
a poem suggested by the statement
of Mrs. Youmans, of Canada, that
according to reliable statistics one
drunkard's soul passes into eternity
every minute, and that a clergyman
in her country had the bell of his
church tolled at intervals of that time
every Sunday.
Air. J. McKendree iuiey, who had
charge of the meeting, spoke very ef-
ft ctively of the lesson to be drawn
from the many requests for prayer
sent up from the audience. Mrs.
Dr. Clinton Morgan led in earnest
prayer for all these, urging her pe
titions as though the safety of each
soul hung in the balance.
We are indebted to a friend in
Baltimore for the above account of
the glorious work that bas sprung
up from genuine faith and humble
prayer. Jjet us all cry out, with the
disciple of old, "Lord, incraasa our
faith !"
Uses and Abuses of the Bath.
The following is an extract from Dr.
Eeamy's lectureon the "Uses and Abuses
of the Bath," delivered before the Fac
ulty and students of the Ohio Medical
College:
Important as it is to keen these
millions of sudatory ducts open, it is
ery questionable whether a lavish use
soap and scrubbing-brushes lias a
tendency to do so. In fact, the contrary
may be presumed, for the applicatiorrof
soap to the outside cuticle, scrubbed
well into the pores with a rough brush,
must rather block the capillaries that
open them. The application of very
irm water surcharges the skin with
blood, while that of very cold water
drives back the blood, and contracts
the capillaries.
I here are other reasons, however,
why soap and scrubbing-brushes are
not only unnecessary to health, but even
inimical to it. The outer cuticle, or
scarfskin, of the body, is composed of
the same material as the nails, although
the liber is somwhat differently arranged.
It is, in fact, the enamel of the skin,
and its proper preservation gives to the
skin of a beautiful woman the ivory
finish so much admired. It is the pro
tection of the skin beneath. But, like
the substance of the nails, it must be
painlessly scraped or rubbed off easily,
one keeps scrubbing long enough.
Under the niiscroscope it is scaly like
the skin of a fish ; and these scales may
be easily scraped away. Kearly all soap
contains strong alkalies, which soften
the epithelium or scarfskin, and renders
easily removed by rough scrubbing.
strong flesh brush, rough towel and
hot water, are all wonderfully effica
cious in removing this protecting mem
brane, but are wholly unnecessary to
health and cleanliness. The only really
healthy and proper water bath costs
little or nothing, nd can be taken at
home. Some say they have no time to
take a bath, but this only requires eight
minutes before breakfast, w hich every
one not inordinately buy can take. Go
a tinner and get him to make you a
tin tray about two inches deep and
eighteen inches square. This will cost
about sixty cents. Then buy a sponge,
which will cost you about a quarter.
With the tin-pan, the sponge, and a gal
lon of water, you have all the require
ments for an excellent bath, and every
person should take such a bath dailv.
is only necessary to sponge yourself
thoroughly from head to foot, and wipe
dor with a soft towel. The exercise of
doing this one's self no one else should
do it is excellent. The water should be
about the 6ame temperature as the
atmosphere, if you are healthy and
strong, but if the weather is intensely
cold, tepid water may be substituted.
But the bath should not be taken with
the w indow open or in a current of air,
and the water should be the same tem
perature as the atmosphere in the
room.

Bald-Headed Lovers.
No one who looks down from a gallery
a church upon a devout and God-like
congregation, can fail to notice how very
prone the Christian is to the loss of his
Piety and bald-headeclness seem
go together, that the head of the
believer might be a shining light, a city
the hill. And yet if one goes to a
godless theater the same thine is observ
able. Worldliness is as bad as piety.
The bloated capitalist and the horny
handed 6on of toil are equally liable to
bare-footed ness on the top of the head.
And this, too, in the face of the fact
that proud science has long wrestled
with the problem, and inventions innu
merable announce themselves as caus
ing a kixuriant growth of hair. Bald
headedness, however, does not impair
man's value in the ordinary affairs of
fife. He can buy or sell, insure, run a
bank, or accept an office, with not hair
his head for a first class eye-brow ;
but when it comes to making love to a
girl it is very much in the w ay. There
a great deal of capillary attraction in
love. Girls adore a handsome suit of
glossy hair. It is lovely. And when a
lover eomes to woo her with the top of
head shining like a greased pump
kin, he is at a disadvantage. Just as the
words that glow and the thoughts that
burn begin to awaken in her bosom a
sympathetic thrill, she may happen to
notice two or three flies promenading
over his phrenological organs and all is
over. Girls are so frivolous. She im
mediately becomes more interested in
those flies than all hia lovely language.
While he is pouring out his love and
passion, she is wondering how the flies
manage to hold on to such a slippery
surface. -

Farm and Household.
TALKS ABOUT FARMING.
NO. III.
As the object of the present series
of papers is to show how to improve
poor land, and make farming profit
able at the same time, it becomes
necessary to insist upon the rais
of more cattle and sheep.
It is my positive opinion that nine
out of every ten farmers in High
land county, owning and farming
from 50 to 200 acres of land, can
carry from five to twenty five head
more cattle than they now do. It is
impossible to make and save manure
in a reasonable amount without cat
tie and sheep, and vithout manure
land must be impoverished. The
matter stands this way: The more
cattle, the more manure; the more
manure, the more grain and grass;
the more grain and grass, the more
cattle.
But some are ready to say, that
there are a great many more cattle
kept now than are well cared for; a
fact, and a lamentable one too. The
trouble is this. There is no system
atic course pursued in either the
breeding ot cattle or the saving
and preparing of winter feed and
quarters for them.
The large majority of the cattle of
the State are miserable "scrubs,'
scarcely worth feeding at all, when
they might just as well be "things of
beauty" and profit also.
A field of corn-fodder, properly
saved ana carea lor, is worth as
much as the same number of acres of
meadow hay, and I think worth
more, for I cannot make any hay
that cattle like as well as they do
good, sweet corn-fodder, carefully
preserved from the weather. But it
is of little value when left standing
in the field, to be pastured during
the winter. What the winds don't
blow away, gets bleached and weath
er beaten until there is but little
nourishment in it, and then it
most ruinous to have it tramped
during winier. The tramping of a
field in the winter does it more
injury than the raising of a crop of
corn on it; besides, you can save
no manure that way. The droppings
are leached by the rains until the
substance is nearly all lost, and the
stalks dry up and return but very
little to the soil.
The next great fault is, "fence
comer jeeamg. now many cows
and calves do I see, all through the
cold and stormy days and nights of
winter, eating their morsels in sor
row and suffering along fence rows,
in public highways and muddy
lanes? It is a sin, gentlemen, a posi
tive sin, and whoever is guilty of it,
should be punished for cruelty to
dumb brutes.
People excuse themselves for not
sheltering their stock on account of
the cost of building barn-room suffi
cient for the purpose. You don't
need costly buildings for the pur
pose.
I propose, in a future paper, to
give plans for constructing cheap
sheds, such as any farmer can make,
for sheltering 6tock and saving feed
and manure. CLODHOPPER.

Useless Wives.
An English lady who can cook, en
larges in a lively letter to The Standard
on one of the real grievances of the
present day, to wit, the number of use
less and idle young wives, who, being
incapable themselves, spoil their ser
vants, and then wonder that the hus
band leaves the ill-cooked meal, perhaps
ill-served also, to dine at his club. They
say contemptuously they were not
brought up to that kind of thing, and
consider it beneath them. This lady
replies that she was not brought up to it
either, but she denies that it is beneath
any gentlewoman to try and contribute
to the comfort of those around her. If
she need not absolutely work with her
own hands, the mistress of a house
should certainly have sufficient knowl
edge to direct her subordinates, or they
will soon discover her ignorance, and
become insubordinate. IJor need the

"Does her own Woek." Does she?
What of it ? Is it any disgrace ? Is she
any less a true woman, less worthy of
respect than she who sits in silk and
satin, and is vain of fingers that never
labor? We listened to "this sneer a few
days ago, and the tone in which it was
uttered betokened a narrow, selfish, ig
noble mind, better fitted for any place
than a country whose institutions rest on
honorable labor as one of the chief corner-stones.
It evinced a false idea of
the true basis of society, of true woman
hood, of genuine nobility. It showed
the detestable 6pirit of caste, of rank,
which a certain class are trying to estab
lish a caste whose sole foundation is
money, and so the meanest kind of rank
known to civilization. Mind, manners,
morals, all that enters into a good char
acter, are of no account with these social
snobs ; position in their stilted ranks is
bought with gold, and each additional
dollar is another round in the ladder by
which elevation is gained.
Speaking of ill-favored eggs, the
Journal of Horticulture, London, remarks
that it is the result of one of two causes
either the food on which fowls are fed,
or the substance on which the eggs are
laid, and adds: This may be easily tested
by shutting up a laying hen and giving
her garlic or malted barley to eat. In a
few days the eggs will taste of the food.
We have tried this ourselves, and know
this to be correct. Another theory but
we cannot speak of it with the same
certainty that an egg laid on any strong
smelling substance will contract it. This
explained by the fact that the shell,
when the egg is first laid, is compara
tively soft and impressionable, and only
hard after contact with the atmosphere.
Let your birds be wholesomely fed on
plain food, and your nests be made
with clean straw. Hay nests have a
tendency to make eggs taste. Follow
nature and you will have nothing to
complain of.
It is difficult to say what constitutes
the beauty of a woman. The Sandwich
Islanders estimate women by their
weight. The Chinese require them to
have deformed feet and black teeth. A
girl must be tattooed sky-blue and wear
nose-ring, to satisfy a South Sea
Islander. African princes require their
brides to have their teeth tiled like those
a saw. And thus goes the world, the
criterion of beauty differing according
latitude and longitude.

Height and Weight.
You ask a very practical question,
says Dr. Duncan: " How much should
person of a given height weigh?" A
healthy child, male or female, grows in
length by more than one-half its size
during the first two years; it increases
from 50 cent. (19.683 inches) to about 79
cent. (31.10 inches.) It trebles or quad
ruples its weight that is to say, it
weighs 3 to 4 kil. at birth (equals 7J to
10 pounds) ; 10 kil. (2o pounds) in the
Bret year; 12 kil. (30 pounds) in the
second..
On the average, a child (from
months to 8 years) grows in length about
o cent, each year requal to zAbzz incnes; i
the weight of the body goes on increas
ing to the eighth year, rising in boys to
20 kil. (50 lbs.) and in girls to 19 kil.
(47 lbs.). From this age (8 years)
until puberty bovs increase in height
55 cent. (2.1t5 feet) each year, reaching,
at the age of twelve years, a height of
138 cent, (over 4.52 feet), and girls 165
cent. (4.421 feet), on the average. Boys
gain about 2 kil. (5 lbs.) in weight per
vear, girls a little more, so that in the
twelfth year children of both sexes
weish. ou the average, about 30 kil.
(75 lbs.)
From 13 to 20 years, youths grow some

An American in Florence.
A noteworthy incident in Florence,
Italv. everv rjleasant dav. is the annean-
ance on the fashionable drives of the
team of a former resident of New York,
From the high box of a large open car
riage an old gentleman of fine appear

The owner and driver is Henry Brock
hoist Livingston. His father, Brockholst
Livingston, was a staff officer in the
Revolutionary Army, afterward Judge
of the Supreme Court of New York
State, and later Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States. Brockholst
Livingston's father, William Livingston
in 1776 was made Governor of New
Jersey, and continued in that position
until his death in 190. Governor Liv
ingston was a grandson of the founder
ot the American family, KODert .Living
ston, who received, by royal charter
from George I., a grant of land compris
ing most of the present counties of
Columbia and Duchess, and known as the
Livingston Manor. Henry Brockholst
is now somewhat over sixty years of
age, and for thirty-five years has lived
on the Continent of Europe. For nearly
twenty years he lias made his home in
t lorence. He married an Italian lady
of rank, but has been a widower for
several vears. Mr. Livingston received
a liberal education and is an excellent
classical scholar. He inherited an am
ple fortune, and has never devoted hini-
selt to any professional or business pur
suit In his youth he' was fond of
athletic sports, and the passion of his
mature lile seems to be the driving of
nne norses.
a. relative wno maintains a corres
pondence with him and who knows him
intimately, said, recently: "The last
time I saw Brockholst Livingston was
in 1'ans in ls4d, and 1 am quite sure he
has not been in this country since that
year. He has lived in various places on
the Continent but for many years has
resided in Florence. When I saw him
last he was a young man ; tall, finely
formed, with straight Grecian features
and very handsome. He was a halt
brother to the late Carroll and Anson
Livingston, and is an uncle to young
Carroll Livingston who is now in
Europe. The late Anson Livingston
formerly managed his American prop
erty, but he has gradually withdrawn
his money from this side and placed it
in European investments. He makes no
new investments here, preferring to
have hiB property nearer his home. He
is wealthy, fond of horses, and prides
himself on his skill as a whip. In his
letters he frequently refers to his driv
ing a team of a dozen horses. Fondness
for horses and athletic sports is a trait in
the Livingston family. He is a careful,
Drovident man, and certainly not ex
travagant, unless the keeping for pleas
ure of a dozen or more horses may be
considered an expensive habit. ; But-it
is his passion, and in Florence probably
not a very costly one. Whenever his
relatives visit Florence he entertains
them at his home. He is distantly con
nected with the Jay lamily, his grand
fathers sister having married Chief
Justice John Jay.
Luck or Providence.
Some people are fond of denying that
there is any such thing as "luck," or
more scripturally speaking, provi
dence ;" but be that as it may, there
certainly are persons to whom what
seems like fortuitous good fortune comes.
Col. Green Wilkinson gave a seat in
his pew in London to an old gentleman,
who left him $ 40,000 a year.
A young Bostoniau crossed to England
three or four years ago, and got into con
versation with an elderly gentleman.
who observed that he lound that tney
had the same name. It turned out that
they were second cousins. The elder
had cone to California in the early days
made a vast fortune, and entirely lost
sight of his relatives. The chance meet
ing gave the young Bostonian a loriune
of between two and three millions.
Two ladies had a box at the opera m
London. An old man opposite bored
them dreadfully by perpetually "lorg-

end. and they thought no more about it
One day, a year afterward, a solicitor
called ou one of the ladies, Lady Frances
Bruce, and told her that an old gentle
man had left her property worth several
thousand a year.
' JSever heard of such a man, she
said : "it must be a mistake."
"Very extraordinary," replied the so

A voune New Yorker went to San

exposed the fraud, and had a tussle with

A California Mining Story.
Not many miles from Shasta City, savs
the San Francisco Bulletin, is the gulch
or wnicn the loiiowmg m:mng story is
told. It is a pretty deep ravine, with
rocks showing all the way up the sides.
Gold in paying quantities had been
found along the stream, but it seemed to
disappear a few feet from the channel.
One day, while a gang of busy men were
toiling in the stream, a stranger, evi
dently green at mining, came along and
leaned on ragged elbows to watch, with
protruding eyes, the results of their toil.
The miner nearest him took out a five
dollar nugget, and anxiety overcame the
greenhorn. "S-a-a y." he asked, "where
can I go to diggin' to find it like that?".
Ihe hardy miner stopped his work.
and, giving the wink to all the boys, so
that the- joke should not be lost, pointed
up on the barren rocks where no gold
had ever been found. "Ye see that
rough lookin' place?" "Yes, yes," said
the new hand. "Well, thar it is rich,
les ye stake out a claim, an go ter work,
an w hen we finish here we'll come up,
too." Then the new hand thanked the
honest miner, and the boys all grinned
appreciation of the ioke. That after
noon there was a solitary figure picking
away on the slope, and every time the
miners looked up they roared with
laughter. But about the next day the
greenhorn struck a pocket, and took out
something like $30,000 in a few minutes.
Then innocent to the last he treated
all around, and thanked the miner who
sent him up there, and took his money
and went down into the valley and
bought him a farm. Then the unhappy
miners arose, leaving their old claims.
and dotted that hillside for days. Bui
there were no more pockets anywhere.

A Mortgage. In the w hole range of
sacred and profane literature, perhaps
there is nothing recorded which has
such Btaying qualities as a good healthy
mortgage. A mortgage can oe ciepenaeti
upon to stick closer than a brother. It
lias a mission to perform which never
lets up. Dav after dav it is right there,
nor does the slightest tendency to slum
lipr imnair its viior in the nieht Nicht
and day, on the Sabbath, and at holiday
times, without a moment's time for rest
and recreation, the biting offspring of
its existence, interest goes on. The sea
sons may change, days run into w eeks,
weeks into months, and months may be
swallowed up into the gray man of ad
vancing years, but that mortpge stands
up in sleepless vigilance, with the inter
est, a perrennial stream ceaselessly run
ning on. Like a huge mgntmare eating
out of the sleep of some restless slum
berer, the unpaid mortgage rears up its
gaunt front in perpetual torment to the
miserable wight who is held within its
pitiless clutch. It holds the poor vic
tims with the relentless grasp of a giant;
not one hour of recreation, not a mo
ment's evasion of its hideous presence.
A genial savage of modifying aspect
while the interest is paid ; a very devil
of hopeless destruction when the pay

Words of Wisdom.
A little girl was asked, "What is
faith ?" She replied, "Doing, God's will,
and asking no questions."
Many a sweetly fashioned mouth lias
been disfigured and made hideous by
the fiery tongue within it.
Piety ought to be lovable, "because it
ought to be virtue adorned, and there is
nothing so lovely as virtues.
As the body cannot live without food,
so the soul cannot preserve the grace, of
God, its life, without prayer.
Wherever you can find a man who
stands by God, God will stand by him;
if yon honor Him, He will honor you.
It is little troubles that wear the heart
out It is easier to throw a bombshell a
mile than a feather even with artillery.
When the tongue is silent and dares
not speak, there may be a look, a gesture,
an innuendo that stabs like the stiletto,
and is more fatal than the poison of the
asp.
The rude man U contented if he sees
but something going on ; the man of
more refinement must be made to feel ;
the man entirely refined desires to re
flect. Have enough regard for yourself to
treat your greatest enemy with quiet
politeness. All petty spites are mere
meannesses and hurt yourself more than
any one else.
Let us carefully observe these good
qualities wherein our enemies excel us
and endeavor to excel them by avoiding
what is faulty, and imitating what is
excellent in them.
Leisure is time for doing something
useful, this leisure the diligent man will
obtain, but the lazy ni.au never, so that,
as Poor Kichard says, a life of leisure
and a life of laziness are two different
things.
Heat and animosity, contest and con
flict may sharpen the wits, althongh
they Tarely do ; they never strengthen
the understanding, clear the perspica
city, guide the judgment, or improve tho
heart.
Liberty is a great word ; but so is duty.
We must not forget, or allow others to
forget how much of life's happiness,
sweetness and usefulness is secured by
bending to our duties, and being like
him who came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister.
Love, like the opening of the heavens
to the saints, shows for a moment, even
to the dullest, man, the' possibilities of
the human race. He has faith, hope
and charity for another being, perhaps
but a creation of his imagination; still,
it is a great advance for a man to be
profoundly loving even in his imagina
tions. Men unfold their natures gradually,
and their traits and peculiarities are
called out by a variety of circumstances.
As a feather may show which way the
wind blows, and a floating twig the cur
rent of a stream, so may a littie matter
enable you to determine the true char
acter of a man, and to know how far you
can trust him, and what are his capabilities.
Tattooing in Burmah.
At the mention of tattooing, the Eng
lish reader will be disposed to lower the
Burman in his estimation to the level of
the red Indian or South Sea Islander, or
other wild offshoot of humanity. Yet
it is no mark of any such want of culture.
From the educated native judge who
sits on the bench to administer the law
of England, who speaks and writes the
English language, drives in his barouche,
and attends the social gatherings of Eng
lish ladies and gentlemen, to the humb
lest laborer in the field, every man of
the population is tattooed, not at pleas
ure and within' the limits he himself
may dniw, but by a rigid cuBtoni which
devotes to the tattooer's art the body of
every man from the waist to below the
knee. Within this area every Burman
is branded with a close tapestry of lions,
griffins, and other fabulous monsters, in
deep blue pigment forced under the
skin by a painful process. Red tattooing
is confined to the upper part of the
body. The necessary decoration is be
gun at an early age, and the prescribed
surface is only gradually covered but the
severity of the treatment io the case of
very young boys is the cause of no little
illness, and sometimes even of death.
I have myself met only one Burman
who was not thus decorated, and he was
a privileged mountebank to whom the
license or a clown was allowed, and wno
was the good natured butt of hi3 coni'
panions. The tattooer is proud to execute
his most artistic designs (wnicu ne win
display on a scroll like a tailor's patterns)
on the arms of English officers, and
among those who have served in Bur
mah the samples of this art are among
the commonest relics shown to admiring
friends at home. Whatever may have
been the origin of this strange custom,
it is considered an essential mark of
manliness, and the Burmese youth who
shrank from the ordeal would be re
garded and treated as a "milksop ;" and
however unnatural the custom may be,
it undoubtedly has the enect or attach
ing a wholesome dignity to hardship,
and the fearless endurance of physical
pain, which may be partly due the re
markable freedom from effeminacy
which is a popular characteristic of the
.Burmese.
I feel more and more deeply how
unchristian and guilty the lives of the
prosperous classes are ; how little gen
uine sympathy and brotherly affection
we have toward the mass of our fellow
creatures. I see more and more dis
tinctly that society needs a revolution
such as history nowhere records. To
rise above others is the spirit and soul
of society in its present constitution.
To help others rise, to use our supe
riority as a means of elevating those
below, is the spirit of Christianity and
humility; and were it to remain would
make a revolution more striking than
any conquest has made.

Ayeu s I u.i.s have been known for

lhey reach the vital fountains of tne blood,
