ONE LESS AT HOME-Ox?E
MORE IN HEAVEN.
One less at home I
The charmed circle broken-a dear face
Missed day by day from its accustomed place,
But cleansed and saved and perfected by
-grace;
One more ia heaven I
One less at heme 1
One voice of welcome hushed, and evermore
One farewell word spoken; on the shore
Where parting comes not, one soul landed
more
One more in heaven !
One less at home!
Chill as the earth-born mist the thought
would rise,
And wrap our footsteps' round, and dim our
eyes.
But the bright sunbeam darteth from the
..-. skies
One more in heaven !
One more at home I
This is not borne, where, cramped in earthly
' mold,
Our sight of Christ is dim-our love is cold,
But there, where face to face, we shall behold.
Is borne and heaven I
One less at home !
Its pain, its sorrow, and its toil to share ;
One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear,
One more the crown of ransomed souls to
wear,
* - At borne in heaven I
One more in heaven !
Another thought to brighten cloudy days,
Another theme for thankfulness and praise,
Another link on high our souls to raise'
To home and heaven !
One more at home !
That home where separation cannot be,
That, home where none are missed eternally,
Lord Jesus, grant ns all a place with thee,
At home in beaven 1

No sweeter or dearer place on earth
than the mercy seat ! There the soul
rises in holy desire, and heaven comes
down to bless. A mutual giving and
receiving pass between the supplicant
and the King. The one gives his
heart and life ; the other His favor and
help. The one receives grace and sal?
vation ; the other receives praise and
.enrice. Blest arc they who know,
prise, and frequent this wondrous I
meeting-place between man and God. !
They share io most sacred, inspiring,
quickening, aod elevating communica?
tions. They visit the scene of the
holiest fellowships and of the purest
delights.-Presbyterian.
John Quincy Adams stated that
since he was thirty years old he had
been accustomed, among the first thia gs,
to read the Bible every morning. With
few interruptions he followed the prac?
tice over half a century. *I believe
there is not a day for the last thirty
years, that I have not peeped at my
Bible. I can say the greater part of
the Bible by heart.' O brethren, let
us read our Bibles more. It ts written
that the angels desire to look into these
things Let os have the same desire.
This country of oars is a Christian
country, or at least many of its citizens
are believers in the true God. Shall
their magnificent fortunes be Christiao
fortunes? That is the question which
plainly concerns Americans. That is
the question on whose answer depends
the future of this country. If they
are Christian fortunes, they will exist
unselfishly, for unselfishness is the dis?
tinguishing nature of Christianity. If
they are Christian fortunes, they will
Dot keep themselves to themselves
building themselves to larger greatness
at the expense of those about them
bat they will make themselves per?
petual blessings, and thc American
Pliny shall write that magnificent for?
tunes did not destroy America, but
made her magnificent.-?V. i*. Church?
man.
Why are men so harsh in dealing
with each other ? Why are the faults
magnified or dwelt upon, while the
good is ignored or minimized ? If
meo would be more charitable to their
fellows life would possess more charm?.
The following from the Richmond
Religious Herald is worth copying for
the lesson it teaches:
'Rev. M D. H?ge. D. D., said
something like this to hts 9->ck, recent?
ly : 'Of late, several of our prominent
business men have died, and I have
been impressed by the many good
thiogs said about them since their
demise. Nothing bot good is said ;
every tbing else is forgotten. It was
thus with David wheo he pronounced
his eulogy opon Saul. David could
not be unmindful of .Saul's faults, and
yrt he makes no allusion to them now,
that he is dead. Why is it that we all
do not with something of the same
generosity spt3k weil of the living?'
AN ODD CEREMONY.
TIio Burial of an African King by His Sar
age Subjects-The Giltey Gilley
Doctors.
Among thc passengers on board the
schooner Lottie Beard, brought to this
port from Kabenda on her recent pas
sage, was a young man of perhaps 17,
who attracted thc eyes of the observers
that had gathered on the wharf to wit
ness the arrival of the vessel.
The young man's name was Arch
Steel, and his native place Dennison,
Iowa. He is a son of a retired and
well-to-do furniture dealer of that place,
and a Methodist missionary. Ee went
away last March and returned tecause
of home-sickness.
He was one of Bishop Taylor's colony
that left for Africa m March, which con?
sisted of twenty-seven persons, includ?
ing men, woman, and children, and
apprentices. It sailed by steamer from
?Sew York on the 20th of last March,
and first landed at Madeira, The next
port was Teneriffe, one of the largest
islands of the Canary group, where a
day or two was spent. At Grand Canary
islands a short stay was made which al?
lowed the party time to visit the Jesuit
cathedral. A change of steamers wag
here made, and the party embarked
aboard the steamer Nubian for Sierra
Leonei
Proceeding down the coast, M ay am bia
was reached, which was the headquar?
ters at that time of Bishop Taylor.
With Bishop Taylor the party proceed?
ed and arrived at Kabenda the 20th of
May.
*:Upon a first landing at Kabenda,"
said Mr. Steel, ,4we were met by the
governor of the place and invited to
take dinner and supper with him. The
next day he picked out a place for ns to
pitch our tents and gave us a couple of
natives to help do our work, which we
paid by giving them a certain quantity
of cloth. Kabenda comprises a settle?
ment of fifty-four towns within a dis?
tance of ten miles of the bay where we
landed, with a population of 500,000,
Shortly after we arrived at Kabenda a
king of one of the more important towns
died, and whenever a king dies a week
is taken to bury him.
..In this case a huge coffin 12 feet
lona 9 feet high, and 3 feet wide was
built on a rack 6 feet high with im?
mense wheels. It was only a short dis?
tance from' the king's house to the bur?
ial place, but the rack is moved only a ;
short distance each day~ A large dele-"
gation of natives from each town held
services around the coffin, and they
made the day and night hideous with
the noises from their rude. instruments,
the principal one being a tom-tom or
nativ?^drhm.*" ~
.*A big bell is suspended from the
rack, which is rung at regular intervals.
The crowd around the funeral rack at
night; is larger than in the day-time,
and everybody dances. That is, they
torn round and round on one spot, but
do not move in a circle. "
..The most impressive part of ?he cere?
mony is that performed by gilley-fplley
doctors or medicine men. Every Dody
gets drunk on the rum, which is pur?
chased of English traders, and which
is a great deal worse than American
rum. While a certain part of the na?
tives are holding services aroun<f the
coffin, another party is engaged in dig?
ging an immense grave, "which was
over twenty feet deep,. The grav?is
always dug at night by the light of
torches, made of native gum, and car
I ried by women on the edge of the grave.
-Singing is kept up throughout thc
night. Ou the morning of the hist day
the coffin is lowered into the grave and
the natives disperse to their homes.
; Nearly ail the men on the coast have
coats, which they obtain from sailors in
steamers by. selling them parrots, and
the women nearly all have garments of
American cloth. My outfit cost about
$300; X bought all my books. The aver?
age cost of an ou;fit is about $150, and
is supplied by the Foreign Missionary
? society.
. "Witchcraft prevails to a certain ex?
tent among the natives of Kabenda,
and if any person bas been offended ia
any manner by another person be
I charges him with witchcraft, and the
! giUey-gilley doctors take him in charge
and administer a dose of sass wood. If
the mixture makes the person vomit he
is adjudged not guiltv of witchcraft,
but if he does not votult he is looked
upon as a witch. His lands and goods
are taken from him and given to the
person whom he has offended. This
has been done since our parry landed
there, and it is hard to make them be?
lieve there is no such thing as witch?
craft"'
Mr. Steel stated that he intended go?
ing back to-school when he got home,
and fit for college where he would study
for the ministry, but would not go back
to Africa.-New Bedford Cor, Booton
Globe.
Prettiest Clerk in Washington.
It is said that the prettiest girl in the
employ of thc government is' a copyist
at the "Navy Department. This is say
iD? a good deal, as about 4,000 women
hold- positions in Washington, and prob?
ably 2,000 more in other parts of thc
country are receiving salaries from
Uncle Sam. Some of the "countesses,"
as the girl3 employed in the treasury
are called, are very pretty, but the belle
of the navy is claimed to be entitled to
the apple of Paris. She is a niece of
our minister to England, Phelps, and
her family reside in this city. For about
four years the young lady has been em?
ployed as a tvpo writer tn the office of
Commodore Walker, the chief of the
bureau of detail, receiving a salary of
$y00 a year. She is a dark-eyed blonde
with a beautiful figure, aud the officers
of the navy are all her devoted slaves.
She was so mnch interrupted in ber
work by them that Commander McCalla,
in whose room she is, was compelled to
prohibit the officers from interviewing
her in department hours, and got a
large screen behind which her attract?
ions are now hidden. If thc command?
er leaves his room for a moment there
is certain to be some bold youug tar
about the building to run in for a chat
with tho beauty, and when McCalla
returns thc culprit is profuse in bis ex?
cuses. 1 he number of officers who have
type writing; to be dono is astonishing,
and thev all want to superintend the
work. The young lady does not appear
to bc aware of her attractions, but can?
not but notice that the other typo
writers are not in such demand as her?
self. When she leaves the department
at night there are generally two or
more officers accidentally waiting in the
corridor to escort her safely down the
elevator and see her to tho street car.
How Arajjo Mcasnred the Power of
Steam.
The experiments which were entered
upon for the purpose of measuring thc
force o? the vapor of water were very
important and very dangerous-impor?
tant^, because thc safe working of steam
engines was dependent upon correct
measurements of thc; force, ami because |
all the properties of heat had to be pass?
ed in review; and dangerous, bi eaw.se
they ..imposed the task of conforming
tiie unknown caprices of :i formidable
foice. There were but two men to ac?
cept it and conduct it :o success: Arago,
who never shrank from a duty; and j
Dulong, already maimed by an explo?
sion, whose previous studies had ad?
mirably titted him for the new work."
A rude manometer was extemporized,
and a boiler, far less stand) than the
steam-boilers of to-day, was set up, ia j
which water was heated till thc pressure !
was twenty-seven atmospheres. "They !
could not go further. At this extreme ;
poinr. it leaked at ail thc joints, and j
the steam escaped through the fissures
with a hissing that was of bad omen. '
But the observers, though aware of the
danger, silent atid resigned, finished
without accident the measurements
which they had begun." Tellium M.
Jamin the story, which was written out
as above from his dictation. Anigo said:
"Only one being of our company pre?
served his sercuitj- and slept quietly; it
was Dulong's dog; they caiied him
Omicron."-L'oputar ?dence Montl?y.
Are Monkeys Mimics?
The authority of Scripture (1 Kings,
x, 22) warrants the belief that monkeys
formed ai: article ot commerce as much
as twenty-eight centuries ago, so that
no lack of time can have prevented us
from studying the habits of our four
handed relatives; yet it would hardly
j be an ovsrestimate to say that nine hun?
dred and ninety-nine of a thousand men
persist in the belief that monkeys have
a passion for imitating thc actions of
their two-handed kinsmen; that, for in?
stance, an ape, seeing his master shave
himself, would take thc first opportunity
to get hold of a razor and scrape or cut
his own throat Now, how could that
idea ever survive this age of zoological
gardens? Marcus Aurelius held tnat
tiie sum of all ethics was the rale to
"love truth and justice, and live with?
out anger, in the midst of lying and un?
just men." Yet the occupation of a
monkey-trainer would put that toler?
ance to a severe test With an intelli?
gence surpassing that of the most in?
telligent dog, a monkey combines an
nltra-mulish degree of obstinacy, and,
rather than imitate the demonstrative
manipulations of the kindest instructor,
he will sham fear, sham lameness, sham
heart-disease, and generally wind up
by falling down in a sham fit of epilep?
tic convulsions. I have owned monkeys
of at least twenty different species, and
have never been able to discover the
slightest trace of that supposed pen?
chant for mimicry. A boy may take off
bis coat and turn a thousand somersets,
Jacko will watch the phenomenon only
with a view to getting his fingers into
the pockets of the unguarded coat Lift
np your hand a hundred times, Jacko
will witness the proceeding with calm
indifference, unless a more emphatic
repetition of. the manouvre should
make him duck his bead to dodge an
anticipated blow. Ho has no desire to
follow any human precedents whatever,
and the apparent exceptions from that
rule are, on his part wholly uninten?
tional and merely a natural result of
anatomical analogies. An angry ham?
adryas baboon, for instance, will strike
thc " ground with his fist not because
any Christian visitors have ever set him
that bad example, but because his fore?
fathers have thus for ages vented their
wrath on the rocks of the Nubian high?
lands. A capuchin monkey will pick
huckleberries with his fingers, not in
deference to civilized customs, but be
