Church bells are of ancient origii The ancients had bells for both sac red and profane purposes. Strab says that market tirne was' announc ed by-their sound and Pliny that th tomb of an ancient king of Tuscan; was hung round with bells. The hou of bathing was made known i: ancient Rome by the sound of a bell The night watchman carried one, an it served to call up the servants il great houses. Sheep had them tie about their necks to frighten awa; wolves, or, rather, by way qf amulgi . Paulinus, bishop of Nola, is genei elly considered the first person wh introduced bells into ecelesiastice service ab6ut the year 400. Histoi inns say that in 610 the bishop o Orleans, being at Seno, then in ; state of siege, frightened away th besieging army by ringing St. Steph c's church bells, which is a clen proof that they were not at that tim generally known in FrAnce. Th first large bells are mentioned b; Bede in the year 680. Before tha period the early British Christian made use of wooden rattles to cal the congregation of the faithful tc gether. Hand bells probably firs appeared at religious processions; ani were afterward used by the secular. The small bells wce,re not, always hel in the haid. They were sometime suspended upon a stake and struel With hammers. Tie arrival of'kings and great per sonages was anciently greeted b) ringing the church bells. Inguiolim abbot of Croyland, who died abon 1109, speakes of them as being wvel known in his time and says that "th, first abbot of Coryland gave si: bells to that monastery-that is I say, two great ones, which lie name< Bartholomew and Beladinc; two o a medium size, called Turketulimi and Bettrine; two small ones, denom inated Pega and Bega. He als caused the great bell to be made call ed Gudla, whicli was tuned to th other bell and produced an admirabl harmony not to be equaled in Eng land.'' The bells used in the monasterie were sometimes rung with ropes haV ing brass or silver rings at the end for the hand. They were ancientl; rung yy the priests themselves, aftei ward by the servants and sometime by those incapable of other dutiec as persons who were blind. The doctrine of tile Church o Rome concerning bells is that the have merit and pray God for th living and the dead; second, tha they produce devotion in the heart of tite faithful. The dislike of evi spirits to bells is well expressed b Wynken de Worde in the "Golde Legend.'" The passing bell wa anciently rung for two good purpoF es, one to bespeak the prayers of al good Christian people for a sol jus departing aind the other to driv away the evil spirits who stood ai the foot of thme bed or about th house. Such wvas the general opirl ion respectinlg tihe efficacy of bell before thle reformation, but sine thlat period ''it hlas been the usum course ill the Church of England thas when any sick person lay dying bell should toll to give notice to th neighbors that they might pray fo the dying party, whlich wtis commor ly calleil a passing bell, because thm sick person was passing hence to ar other world, and ,when his breatl was expired th'e bell rung out the the neighbors might cease the] prayers, for thlat the party wc dead.'' .It is nowv only tolled afte death. TIme saint's bell was not so cal: ed from the name of thle saint thd wa's inlscribed on it or, of the chure to which it belonged, but becausei wvas alwvays rung out whenm the pries came to that part of thme servicl ''Sanctus Sanctus, Sanctus, Domini Deuls Sabhaothm, '' purposely thu those persons5 who colId nlot comnet church might -know in wvhat a soleim office the congregation 'were at thd instant engaged anid so, even i their absence, b)e once, at leas moved -to lift up their hearts to him who made them. Bells at oneC tim were thought an effectual chlan against lighting. Thme frequent fii ing of abbey churches by lightnin confuted the -proud motto commonl written on their' bells in the steeples Swherin each entitled itself to a sii fold efficacy-viz: Men's death I tell by doleful knell Lightning and thunder I break asuri der; On Sabbath all to chnrch I call; The sleepy head1 I raise from bed; The winds so fierce I dost disperse Men 's cruel rage I do assuage.

SOME FAMOUS VANDALS. How Artists Sometimes Destrc Their Owg Creations. It is, perhaps, but natural ti men and women of genius should d, sire that the best. of their works o ly should live after them, and fA this reason many a celebrated artii has destroyed his own pictures, sal Tib-Bits.
