his observation, a great number of ladies in

taking daily from four to eight glases of
highly fortified sherry or port, ontning from dn an

TaL EvY of ar EOALE. -The eyes of all boly
birds have a peculiarity of satrueture, which como
enables them to see near and distant objects plool
equally well, and this wonderful power is sel
.arried to tho greatest perfection in the bird its
of prey. When we recollect that an it a
will ascend more than mile ian perpendicular they
height, and from that enormous elevation will rents
aereive its unsuspecting prey, and pounce on fdeli
t with unerring ertainty; and when e faith
se the seas bird scru tnizmlg, with almost by d
microscopic nicety, an object close t hand, we alive
shall at once perceive that he posseses a duty
power of accomnmodating his sight to distance
in a manner to which our eye is udhtted, and
of which it is totally incapable. If we take a
printed eage,we hall findtbtthereissonfepai- altoh

we can read tg tS'ords and see-each letter dyin
1with perfect distinctness; bat if wmove the this
page to a distance of forty incohes, or bring It are I
within a distance of five inehses, we shall Bind whic
it impoisible to read it at alL A scientifico
man would, therefore, call ten inches the focus rn
or focal distance of our eyes. We cannot alter Cur5i
this focus except by the aid of spectacles. But die
an esgle has the power of altering the focus of will
his eye just as he pleases; he has only to look judg
at an object at a distance of two feet or two Ge
miles in order to see it with perfect distinct- otbe
ness. Of course the eagle knows nothing ofman
the wonderful contrivance which God has sup- the I
plied for his acceommodation ; he employs itth
Instinctively, and because he cannot help it.
The ball of his eye is surrounded by fifteen and,
little plates, called sclerotio bones; they form who
a complete ring, and their edges slightly over- The
lap each other. Whenhe looks at a distant ob- is, c
ject, this littlecircleof bones expands, and the yet
ball of the eye, being relieved from thepressure, ti
becomes flatter; and when be looks at a very neg
near object, the little bones press together,hc
and the ball of the eye is thub squeezed inte a
rounder'or more convex form. The effect is ma
very familiar to everybody; a person withvery lies
round eyes is near-sighted and only sees clear- he
ly an object that is close to him; and a person gos
with fiat eyes, as in old age, can see nothing tell
clearly except at a distance ; the eagle by the whi
mere will, can make his eyes round or list, and of I
see with equal clearness at any distance. d
AN Exan-aD IDOL AND ITS TmPLEr.-"The bre
English Governess at the Siamese Court" has _o
this account of the temple of the Emerald
Idol in Siam: "The temple Itself Isunques
tionably one of the most remarkable and 46,
beautiful structures of its class in theOrient; hiu
the lofty octagonal pillars, the quaint Gothic "
doors and windows, the tapering and gilded bii
roofs, are carved ian infinite variety of em- kn
blems, the lotus and palm predominating. sic
The adornment of the exterior is only
equaled in its profusion by the lieor let
and hieroglyphic embellishments within. The
ceiling is covered with mythological figures
and symbols. Most conspicuous among the a
latter are the luminous circles resembling the tc
mystic orb of the Hindoos, and representing ti
the seven constellations knownto the ancients; y,
these revolve roundl a central sun in the form C
of a loses, called by the Siamese Dok Athit ..
(sun Slower,) because it expands its leaves to
the rising unn and contracts them as be sets.
On the cornices are displayed the twelve signs n
of the zodiac. The altar is a wonder of dimen- y
aione and splewlor-a pyramid one hundred a
sedt'Igh, termiuating in a fine spire of gold,
and surrounded ou every side by idols, all n
serious and precious, from the bijou image in I
sapphire to the colossal statue in plate gold. 8
A series of trophies of these, gathered Irom
the triumphs of Buddhism over the proudest
forms of worship iu the old Pagan world. In
the pillars that surround the temple, and the
rpires that taper far aloft, may be traced types
and emibleens borrowed from the Templeof the I
Sun at Baulbec, the proud fans of Diana at
Ephesu, the shrines of the Dellan Apollo; hut i
the Brahminical symbols and interpretations
prevail. itrangeo that it shonld be so, with a
sect that suffered by the aleyings and the out

Family Prayer-oame Befoe and After eas.thro
We take the following extracts from the chat
Lenten Pastoral Letter of the Most Rev. viot
Archbishop Manning:
Family Prayer.-There were two noble T
customs in Christian households which are in I
now declining, aud ought to be carefully eat
restored. The one is to unite together day we
by day as a family, in prayer, either at the Asi
1 Holy Mass, or In the rosary, or in some any
Scommon acts of piety A family has es- dea
peibl duties, towards God and towards it- peo
d self. Therad has responsibilities for all as
e its members, children and servants; and cha
,they also to him and to each other. Pa- her
ii rental authority, filial obedience, domestic the
n fidelity, can never be sustained without the
e faith and prayer. Th kneel together day abc
it by day, beforeour common Father, keeps tin
ae live these mutual relations of charity and bla
e uty. When households are not sanctified
d y prayer, authority and obedience, charity by
and peace, are all weakened and too often ear
e- altogether lost. We fear, however, that his
h this Catholic practice of daily piety is an
ir dying out in many homes. The usages of out
a this world, the example 'of homes which er'i
t e not Catholic, the tyranny of society, led
d which deranges all hours, early and late, oal
Sturning night into day, are pleaded as ex- Cai
cuses forletting this duty of Catholic piety tat
t die out. How far the usages of the world in
of will excuse as before Him who willconme to ap
k judge the wo ld, you need not be told. brc
'o Grace B re and After jfcals.- The his
Sother practce is that for which every so
manua of Catholic piety provides, under the
rthe head of "Grace before and after meals." Fi
t Such was the practice of our forefathers xI
Sand,.it may be, of many in their childhooA da
m who now for years have forgotten thismduty.
r- The cause of this neglect of thankfulness Br
b- is, chiefly, contact with the world. And ed
Syet it was, till of late, the universal prac- th
Stice in all English homes. Catholics who lai
ry neglect it are without excuse; for many pd
awho are not Catholics still with fidelity IP
is maintain this duty of thankfulness to our co
ry Heavenly Father. But the world, in its pC
r heartless and faithless forgetfulness of God, ye
on goes to its food without any token of in- i
hg telligent recognition of the hand from It
which it comes. It is recorded as a markt f
ud of the first Christians, that "' continuing U
daily with one accord in the Temple, and h
The breaking bread from house to house, they m
ba took their meat with gladness and sim- $1
d plicity of heart, praising God" (Acts iic., o1
snd 46, 47). And it is the upbraiding of God
SIt himself for the ingratitude of Jerusalem :
hie The ox knoweth his owner and the ass
dod his master's crib; but Israel hath not c
em- known Me, and My people doth not con- n
Siu. ider" (Isaiah, i. 1, 3). There is something t
ril lunworthy of hbiher natures in such thank
Tless and insensible use of the gifts of God.
heYou remember how our books of devotion,
the such as "The Garden of the Soul," bid you i
the to " go to your meals with a pure inten
ting tion?,' "Always ny grace beforeanu after
t.; your meals, with a serlona, attention to
form God." "Observe moderation In them."
Lthit "Study rather to mortify than to gratify
your appetite." What is this but te .true
meaning of the Apostle's words: "Whether
men you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do
aded cll to the glory of God" (1 Cor. x., 31).
Do not misunderstand that injunction to
mean that by an ostentation of piety, or
gein singularity of behavior, you should ettract
attontion. Those who will, Can always ful
fi thia duty towards God. At least, they
udest can make it the rule of their own house
ii th without fear of the world or false shame.
They can also, be they where they may,
teake their own act of thankfulness with
at out provoking the notice of others. But it
i; but is better to bear ridicule, if need be, rather
itious than to forget God, which provokes His
i'ut just displeasure.

le THE HARP.-The existence of the harp c
re in Ireland is coeval with that of the earli- F1
ly est inhabitants of the Island. Though St
sy well known to exist among the oldest
he Asiatic nations, yet we do not And that T.
ne any among them cluog to it with tbhe fervid
,a. devotion which so peculiarly marked the
it- people of Innisfail, or the" Sacred Island," snu
all as the Greeks then termed it. In every 263
od change of time and circumstances, through ee
a- her long and varied history, the harp and
tic the harper are never lost sight of; what, J
gt therefore, more natural than that both
ay should grace a St. Patrick's Day demonstra- 62.
,p tion, and, indeed, of every similar assem
nd blage where Irishmen predominate. mt
ed Fostered by monarchs and encouraged pero
ty by princes and toparchs, this instrument is -
an early called into notice. Walker, in his X
tat history of the Irish bards, informs us that Hai
is an Irish king, as early as the year 840 of N.
of our era, possessed the best band of harp
ich er's in existence, and that they accompan- Ste
ty, led the music with singing, but the most
te, flattering eulogium has been rendered by -
ix- Cambrensis, who visited the island in the F
latter part of the twelfth century. Powell n,
rid in his history of Wales, says that Grifflih or
to ap Conan, an early King of that country, the
brought performers from Ireland to instruct n.
he his countrymen in the use of the harp, and roc
ryso much hold did the Instrument take on
ter the affections of the Scotch, that James the
a" First of that country, who died in 1437,
excelled all the musical performers of his
o, day. But the "Harp of Tars" did not C
ty. rest content with captivating the ancient
es Britons and the Scotch, but boldly intrud
ad ed itself among the most musical people on ta
_- the face of the globe-the melodious Ital- z.
who ians-among whom, a contemporary of the
say p6et Dante Itnforms us, the Irish harpers ,
lity appeared long previous to the fourteenth as
our century; so that to these musical Irish ,t
its peripatetics we stand iondebted for the ad- sa
rod, vent among us of the owners of those em- H
in. browned and dusky features who claim a
rom Italia as tteir native land, who are to be -
mark found throughout the various cities of the J
Union. and whose execution on the time
honored harp reminds one of Goldsmith's
they musician, who, in endeavoring to please, i
