Still crumbling back into the cavern'd past.

A mystery now as then.

Of Coptic hammers round thy limbs half freed;

To thee and to the dead. Perhaps the bones

Longfellow says : "Death is a leap into
the sanshine." This, too, was the Indi-
an conception of it in the cold regions of
the North. Think of dwelling for a
drearj time amid chilling snows, when
suddenly the son beamed from beyond
the gloomy clouds and ponred a flood of
warm light and golden radiance at yonr
feet—with what gladness yon leaped into
it, as every chilled feeling was kindled
to life! How beantifnl is death—the
birth of nnending life ! The infidel may
die like a man, bat the christian dies like
a god 1 and yet back to earth would he
oast an anxious, hopeful trust that kin-
dred spirits may not forget him, though
his eternal home should be amid the
lofty realities of immortality !
Shelley does not evince the higest po-
etic genius, a point in mind, thought and
imagination when all are bathed in the
light of inspiration. He develops oon-
summate materialism as the highest de-
fect—ruinous defect. His success is fine
in felicitous expression. The most gifted
man cannot produce true poetry without
commanding, all-pervading faith in Ood.
The torch of christian inspiration illu-
mines the pathway of poetry, science,
art, and all else worthy and noble. Un-
fortunately Shelley looked ohiefly into
visible churches, and not finding there
what he sought, consigned them all to
the shelf of falsehood. Theology com-
manded too stern a sacrifice. A strange
mind had Shelley, dreaming beautifully,
thinking unphilosophically. He was
proudly hanest— too violent to work
muoh mischief—too irrational to deeply
imprese with his principles.
Miss Evans, the novelest, wields her
pen with pathos and power. She is revo-
lutionizing the literature of imagination
—breathing the life of thought into its
feeble form—teaching it to stand boldly
upon its feet, and the blood to course
fearlessly through its veins. She is teach-
ing us to look for something in novel lit-
erature else than sentimental love, devoid
of nature—something else than star-light
and bewitching eyes. She is teaching us
that the pen of fiction, when properly
guided, may be the minister to us of some
of the higher forms of the true and beau-
tiful, in natnre, thought and morals.
A sketch of the second birth of poetry
to her higher intellectual life : "She
awoke where she slept, beside a fountain,
over which her votaries have raised an
imperishable monument, and made the
ground classic. When she opened her
eyes the birds were singing in Arcadian
bowers; a golden sunlight gleamed
through the trees, and quivered and
danced on the fountain ; the stream was
bubbling musio o'er its pebbly bed ; un-
seen nymphs, lovelier than mortals, were
warbling hymns in honor of the goda ;
the oracular voice was to her the inter-
preter of nature, and gave to everything
on which she gazed with wonder and awe
a mystio and religious meaning. Insen -
sibly a consciousness of a higher and
nobler state—the purely mental—dawned
upon her. The gods seemed to have de
wended from Olympus, and were dwell-
ing in though saparate from nature ; and
nature hefself, in her innumerable forms
of beauty, power and grandeur, seemed
but to symbolize their presenoe. The
seolusion of nature was disturbed by the
Omnifio spirit. Her soul was imbued
with the power of religion. She seised
her harp, and in strains of simple and
natural melody poured forth strains of
religious and eloquent song, imploring
the aid of superior powers* as if poetry
were inspiration^**
Man is becoming more thoroughly in-
tellectual. He demands higher com-
munion with the mysterious depths of
spiritual and intellectual being. Thus
he beootqea ooovenant with futurity.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN RUSSIA.
The official "Report of the deputation
uf the American Branch of the Evangeli-
cal Alliance to memorialize the Emperor
of Russia in behalf of religious liberty"
coutains a history of the movement
which culminated in the interview be
tween Prince Gortschakoff and Professor
Morse, Dr. Adams, Bishop Mcllvaiue,
Ohief-Justice Chase and the other mem-
bers of the delegation, on the 11th of
last July. It will be remembered that
the object of the memorial was to secure
the removal of irksome restrictions upon
the religious liberty of Russian subjects
of Lutheran faith in the Baltic provinces
and that somewhat conflicting reports
were circulated regarding the response of
Prince Gortschakoff. The aocouut now
given is in part as follows:
"His Highness frankly admitted that
there were laws which forbade any one
leaving the Greek Russian Church after
once becoming a member of it. About
the propriety of this prohibition there
might be different opinions; he bad his
own opinion; but such were the laws of
the empire, and they coald only be
changed by the Emperor. The time aud
mauner of doing so must be left with his
Majesty, who could not for obvious rea-
sons suffer any appearance of foreign in-
tervention and outward pressure, any
alteration or modification of the existing
laws must be done proprio motu. For
this reason, while under ordinary circum-
stances his Majesty would have been
most happy to receive a deputation, yet,
looking to the large number of the dele-
gates present, their high social standing
and influence in the countries from which
they came, and considering the publicity
which had already been given to their in-
tentions, it was manifested that their re-
ception would have the appearance of
foreign interference with the internal af-
fairs of Russia, and this, in the iuteresta
of the object itself, must be avoided.
In takiug leave, Dr. Schaff, in behalf
of the deputies, asked the Prince wheth-
er they might expect a written reply, and
whether he had any objection to their
giving publicity to the views expressed
by him on this occasion. To this
he replied, as nearly as we can re-
member, in the following words : "I am
now seventy years old, and have learned
by long experience that muoh writing is
apt to prevent acting. I put to paper as
little as possible. But you are at perfect
liberty to publish the proceedings of this
audienoe, and (be added with some em-
phasis and a pressure of the hand) I au-
thorize you to inform the world that the
Emperor and myself are in full sympathy
with religious liberty, and shall do all in
my power to promote it."
In its summary of the result, which is
very hopeful in tone, the report, never-
theless, confesses the probability that by
the words "religious liberty Prince
Gortschakoff merely meant toleration,
which in fact now exists.—N. Y. Journal
of Commerce.

BREVITIES.
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND DR.
DOELLINGER.
In the English Church Congress sitting
at Nottingham Mr. A. J. B. Beresford,
member of Parliament, said in relation
to the infallibility of the Pope, that only
six weeks ago he bad the privilege of in-
terviews with Dr. Dcellinger. In the
conversations he had with that eminent
man he learned that the sympathy of
England and of the English Church is of
the most vital importance to the body of
noble men struggling against the grow-
ing Buddhism of the Romish Church.
Dr. Doellinger was an accomplished Eng-
lish scholar, and be found him acquaint-
ed with all our leading theologians. It
was not, therefore, a case of ignorant ad-
miration. As to the points on which we
differ from the Old Catholic party we
should show sympathy where we agree-
not look out for things in which wo dif-
fered. The question of intercommuni-
cation had not been raiaed; why raise
difficulties gratuitously ? He specified
points in which they did agree. They
were under an obligation to show sym-
pathy after the way in which their own
Church had been named in the scheme
of constitution proposed at Munich. Dr.
Doellinger called his attention to the fact
of conversions, or perversions, from the
Church of England to Rome having been
ohecked by this movement. That was a
contrast with the leading on of some
Romanists when they were communicat-
ing with them, and more resembled the
practice of the Eastern Church, for the
Archbishop of Syria repudiated perver-
sions from the Church of England,
blaming the course in this respect of the
Russian branch of their own Churoh.
The old Catholio party was stronger than
some thought. Some of the bishops
might fall away, but there was the ancient
church at Utrecht, which might have
been reserved for a great work. A re-
markable prophecy was being fulfilled,
contained in a letter whiob he received
on the last day of 1869, written to him by
that great man, Count Montalembert, on
his death-bed. It was iu the final days
of the Ollivior ministry, and the letter
said: "We unexpectedly see the end of
the material despotism; when shall we
see the end of the spiritual despotism ? "
If it did not so terminate they had before
them an interneoine conflict in which
they would have to fight Romish super-
stition and the infidelity of science false-
ly so called. He only asked for sympathy
on behalf of those in Germany as the
means of meeting the double danger.

fire-proof blocks, so-called, caunot with-
stand the tremendous heat of a great fire
when driven on by a strong wind. We
must have something Which will not-barn
from which to make our warehouses,
stores, shops, and houses, or every large
city will be in continual dauger of a fate
like to that which has overtaken ttie
great city of the Northwest.
It has been suggested that buildings
made of concrete possess the desired
qualities. The artificial stone known as
concrete is generally made of six parts uf
small gravel, broken bricks or flints, one
part of sand, and one part of cemeut.
The first two ingredients are to be found
everywhere. The cement, when made
artificially, consists of from twenty to
twenty-five per cent, of silica, with
eighty to seventy-five per ceut. of lime
or of chalk, pure clay, and fine sand.
The United State3 is the only country
where nature has compounded the mate-
rials herself, furnishing the cement ready
for use< It is found iu large quantities
in New York, Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, Kentucky, Virginia, and Ohio.
The buildings proposed are to be of
concrete throughout. Tile floors are to
be an artificial stone made of cement and
sand. Iron is to be used aloue for sup«
porting the floors and roof, aud for brac-
ing the building.
Concrete buildings already have bad
their capabilities fully tested by use.
The pnblio buildings at Cherbourg, Mar-
seilles, Toulon, Woolwicb, Dover, Alder-
ney, and Eddystone, together with sev-
eral on our own coast, are built of con'
crete. It is frequently used iu England
for foundation walls.
The immense sheds of the Metropolitan
Railway Company at West Brampton,
the College of Surgeons, and Wellington
Barracks, and many houses in Pall Mall,
Liucolu's-Inn Fields, St. James' Park,
and elsewhere in London, are built of it.
In Spain and in the South of France, it
is used in the construction of common
houses. In Sweden aud Northorn Ger-
many , it is largely used for building pur-
poses, the dwelling-houses built of it hav-
ing double walls, which protect the in-
mates from vermin and produce a more
equable inside temperature.
Many advantages are claimed for con-
crete buildings over those made of brick
and stone. People who have lived in
them think them stronger, more even in
temperature, and more quiet, (because
the concrete is a non-conductor of heat
and of sound, J and cheaper than ordinary
houses. Above all, they are incombusti-
ble—a fire which would destroy the fur-
niture in one room, not affecting the
contents of the next. A concrete house,
in short, is a building of fireproof com-
partments, which is said to be fully equal
in every other respect to buildings made
of ordinary materials.
The time must come when the kind of
buildings now in vogue will give way to
something better. Especially from the
danger of fire better safe-guards are
needed. A block of concrete houses in
Chicago, placed where the fire began,
might have saved the city. A multitude
of such buildings, scattered through the
business portion of a city, would almost
certainly prevent a fire of wide extent.
The importance of the subject is appa-
rent. Americans have devised many wit-
ty inventions. Cannot some of them, in
view of the catastrophe at Chicago and
the danger of a similar fate which hangs
over all our large cities, hit upon some
method—by adopting concrete for build-
ing purposes or finding out some other
incombustible, cheap and abundant
material—which may preserve our pro
perty, our precious things, and our lives
from destruction by fire ? —N". Y. Even-

A Little Lecture about Absinthe.—
Since Amerioans have taken to using
abisnthe so freely it is well that they
should know all they can concerning the
fascinating but dangerous liquid. Many
poeple believe that the effects produced
by it are maintained entirely by the al-
cohol in which the absinthe is infused,
This is no error. The essence of alcohol,
of anniseed, and the various other com-
ponents which enter into the make-up
of a glass of absinthe, are not dangerous;
the real poison the is the absinthe itself.
Certain experiments proved this in an
incontestable manner. An insect placed
under a bell-glass, on saucer half filled
with alcohol, has been observed to stag-
ger and fall exactly like a drunken man,
but betrayed no convulsive agitation.
Another insect, placed in the same way
on a saucer of absiuthe, had an epileptic
fit at once, foamed at the mouth, and did
not recover for some minutes. A rat or
cat suffers in the same way from absinthe.
The inevitable effeots upon a man of the
abuse of absinthe are epilepsy, delirium-
tremes and suicide. The Paris workman
and the literary men of the Frenoh capi-
tal afford evidenoes now and then of
what a terrible agent of destruction liquor
can become. Our fashionable ladies and
young men who desire 9 "new sensation"
must oeware of the demon who lurks in
the glass. Whisky and deadliat brandy
ne\er cursed the world as has absinthe.
▲ magnificent gold service for the Sul-
