The Great Strasburg Ca thedral. No cathedral in tbe world has so in teresting a history as this, it stands .on a spot where, only five hundred years*after Christ, a charch was built; it was of mod walls, with a wooden sup port. Looking at the superb chiseled stones of the cathedral to-day, one in voluntarily thinks of that little eartb walfed church of Clevis, and wonders if tbe services in it were not more ac ceptable and single-hearted than that sow rendered )with ail the blaze of 1 stained glass and splendor of statues aud pillars. It has been from first to last a luck* less church. Almost one might have a eaperstitous idea that tbe enterprise had been displeasing to Cod, such disasters have followed it from tbe be ginning. In the tenth century it was beamed ; earlySj^the eleventh, it was plundered and partly burned by tbe soldiers of an Alsacian Duke, who was fighting Strasburg and its bishops in cidentally , in the coarse of his squab bles with Henry of Bavaria; five years after this it was struck by lightning and entirely demolished. It was at this time that the preseo cathedral was begun by one Bishop Wor?ber, who must have been a shrewd man and ingenious in having his own j way about matters? He got all thet j Stones he wanted brought in by the j peasants from the country for nothing, er one might say less than nothing, j Sreee be paid the peasants in paper in dulgences for their labor. Tradition says that at one time there were over one hundred thousand men engaged in one way and another on the building, and that, as they labored with tbe religious enthusiasm peculiar to that age, thinking they were ensur ing the salvation of their souls, the -work advanced very rapidly. Before the middle of the eleventh , however, the Bishop of Wern went to Constantinople and died there, and the cathedral came to a stand still. Bishops ail had their hands too full of strifes aud wars for the next two centuries to spend much time or money on cathedrals^and it fell into great ran. In 1140,1150 and 117G, fires, partially consumed it. In the thir teenth century it was partially rebuilt again ; and iu 1276 Bishop Conrad, of Liehteoburg, took hold of the work in good earnest. He palisbed letters of indulgence all over the country. Id one of these still extant, he compared the cathedral to *tbe flowers of May tbat bloom iu the sun.' Who would not like to give a small sum of money for the com- ! bined privileges of helping on so beau tiful a work, and at the same time sin ning safely as much as he liked for a while? At a great synod held this year, all tbe clergy in Bishop Conrad's diocese agreed to give for four years one-quar ter of all their revenue, to be devoted j to the cathedral. Now it was that the j famous Master Erwin came upon the j scene.' It is a pity we do not know the details of the birth aud life of this great saster-bniMer. For nearly half a cen tury tbe cathedral was his love, life and daily labor ; tower, after tower, column after column, spire, pyramid, facade, window, slowly it grew under his bauds. Still the evil destiny of dangers and commotions pursued it. On the very day of the consecration of the great cortb tower, two workman fought for the honor of working with the trowel the Bfchop had used in the ceremony ; one of them was killed on the spot, and j the superstitious people, regarding it as ao ill*omen, suspended all work, j and, would not begin it again until the j Bishop hat' reconsecrated che spot, j Three times in thirteen years an earth- j quake shook it violently. In 1298, all the wood work was j burned, and the pillars and walls in-1 jured. In 1302, all the peasants in j Aisacia might have been seen drawing f stones for it into Strasburg in their , little carts ; Bishop John, who had suc ceeded his brother Bishop Conrad, gave j to all who came into the city bringing either wood or stone, free passes and to all who worked on the cathedral, wioe and wheat. In 1349 the black plague swept Strasburg; insurrections followed it, j and fights between Bishops and Etnpe- j rors, but still the cathedral went j lowly on. Names of men famous in j their generation for a turret or a spire disappeared* from the record and were j tost in all these tumults. Nobody j knows to-day who made the pyramid i and spire of the north tower, nor who j built the steeple which formerly stood ; above the grand rose. In 1368 the cathedral was again ! struck by lightning; in 1384 a fire broke out and consumed ail the inle- ; rior except the chancel. In 1392 the Bishop sent to Cologne j for another great master-builder, John i Hulis, to come and compile the great j work ; it took him ten years to finish j the spire. On Midsummer's Day, | 1439, in tbe presence of a vast multi- j iude of people, be laid the last stoue, ! exactly one hundred and sixty-two years | after Bishop Conrad had laid the first; ston*; of it. A statue of the V trgin ] wis set on the knob ending the j At tbe time of tbe Reformation tbe cathedral passed into the hands of tbe Protestants. They closed many of the chapels, and removed some of the altars; bat they made no material changes, and watched with great care over the superb building. It had no better luck, however, in their hands than in the hands of the original build ers. Between the years of 1540 and 1625 it was five times struck by light ning aud set on fire. In 1654 the spire ^was entirely destroyed by lightning and rebuilt. ~Io 16S1 it passed back into the hands of the Catholics again, and they immediately began repairing it in the wretched rococo style then prevailing, of tawdry wood carvings, gilded and paint jed. j In 1728 'as if to punish those who were thus spoiling this wonderful mon utnent,' says one record, an earthquake shook it; in 1759 it was again struck by lightning and very much injured. j The lead on the roof of the nave was j entirely melted, and the fine cnpolo was not rebuilt. [ In the furious revolutions of 1793 i new destructions took place in the ill starred cathedral. The crazy Jaco | bins tore down two hundred and thir ty-four statutes of saints and kings, and destroyed them. Teterel went so far as to propose pulling down the spire, because be said that its height, extend ing so much above that of all common houses, was a direct violation of the noble principle of equality. Fortunately all the Jacobins were not so mad as he ; and he was obliged to content himself with having a huge Liberty cap made of tin, painted fiery red and placed on the top of the spire. This was to be seen among other curiosities in tbe Strasburg Li Draryv before its-destruction. In 1870 came the last time of disas ter for the cathedral. When Stras burg was in siege, the Germans tried to force the surrender by a constant bombardment of the inner towns. For seven weeks a rain of shot and shells poured on the city. That the cathedral was not utterly ruined seems a miracle. It was several times set on fire and the stone ornaments on its front and its sides were shattered off. Finally the roof become so prefof ated by shells that the copper began to melt, aud then nothing could be done to save it. This was on the nigth of the 25th of August. Towards midnight the whole roof blaz ed up, leaping pyramids of fiame over topping tbe pyramid of the spire, and blotting it out from sight. In the morn ing the floor of 4he cathedral was cov ered with black and smoking ruins, and the only roof over the nave was the biue sky. # Immediately on the entrance of the Germans into the re-cooquered town, the work of restoration was begun, and now there are few traces of the injuries to be seen beyond the exterior deface ment of the stone ornaments. What will be tbe next disaster to tbe noble building remains to be seen. The most impressive thing in tbe view of this cathedral is tbe nave. It is supported on each side by seven huge pillars composed of round columns weld ed together. It is mysteriously lighted and illuminated by tiers of magnificent painted glass windows, representing Scripture and legendary subjects. Over the principal porch is a superb round window, which blazes with colors as if a very Golconda had been lavish ed on it. When I entered tbe cathedral the sun was near setting, and already a dusky j j twilight obscured tbe aisles, but all { that we lost in way of distinct views of details we gained in the magnificent ef- j feet of this great wheel of transparent jewels framed in darkness. The great shining window seemed poised in space, rather than set in a ; - wall. It was lifted at once, by this j 1 delicious gloom, out of tbe plane of de- j ^ coration, and seemed to take place as j much a part of the order of nature as it \ it bad not been a colossal planet of rain- i bow hues, suddenly revealed iu a mid- j night sky. j J In the centre glowed a topaz rose ; around this a space of solid black ; then j S Sue lines of silvery gold and light j C gray; then a circle of brilliant blue ; j!' then divergent rays of orange aud j scarlet and gold, all biendiog together j in a sort of topaz yellow ; round drops of sapphire-blue where these rays ended in eincrald-green and then a row of topaz-roses on drab ground, com pleting the outer circle of this marvel ous window. Below it. a belt of twelve narrow windows a?! having the general effect of topaz mottled with gay colors. It was a sight never to be forgotten, and a sight that could not be seen ex cept when it was too dark to see the j rest of the cathedral well.?By U If. 1 in Youth's Companion \ - ? ,. ? - Forever. If we come to the words of duration, I the cumulative evidence is marked. Iu j six passages the 'forever' is the specific j phrase of the standard Greek writers to i represent limitless duration, aud traus lated into Latin by in et er num. 'In the | fifty-seven instances where this word is j used in the New Testament thirty-sis i refer to God and Christ, ten to the i blessedness of the righteous, and t-ix to j the punishment of the wicked.' Six or j seven times the punishment is called 'eternal.' This Greek adjective is used fifty one times to describe the duratiou j of the happiness of the saved, and is I a!soapplied to God's glory. This use! of such terms of settled meaning has a j force that cannot be broken.?Rich- r j mond Ch.

I "Thank you, madam,"said the smull j gentleaiau, "tbe agony is abated." Children need not use words so quaint , i as those which were quite natural to j young Macaulay, but should try to have \ equal politeness.?Ex. For<retfulncss is one of tbe broad ! ways of sin. A ship can be lost by j i carelessness as well as by design. The | evils of life come mainly through iuat- ' teotion. Happy the heart to whom God has j given enough strength and courage to \ suffer patiently aud find one's own hap- j pin?'ss iu the happiness of others.? j Cd'on. Tbe Christian was not meant merely i' to be an armor-keeper, but an armor bearer ; not to keep bis armor bright for ( show, but ready for battle. Disease is an effect, not a cause. Iis origin is within : its manifestations without. Hf lcc, to cure the the disease the cause must, be re moved, ?nd in no other way can a cute ever be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. Ii realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at one4 at the root of the difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon those great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, by placing theui in a healthy condition, drive disease and pain from the system. For the innumerable troubles caused by un healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the distiessing Disorders of Women ; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen erally, this great remedy has no equal.
