Clipper. Taking the Veil in the Church of England. {From the Charch Ni Sept. 2.) A correspondent sends the following: Last week a very interesting ceremony took Place at this house. A young novice took the white veil, and entered upon her dutics as cloistered nun cf the Benedictine order. The temporary chapel of the convent was fall on the occasion, the event exciting greit inter- est among the members of the Third Order of the Congregation. At 10:30 a procession en- tered the choir, and the priest commenced the communion service of the Church of England, which was performed with every adjunct of imposing beauty which primitive ritual could lend to the celebration of the divine mysteries. Alter the chanting of the creed the young lady who was to receive the veil was ied into the — chapel, accompanied by her brides- maids. The postulant was dressed asa bride, with bridal veil awd wreath, entirely in white; the little girls who attended her wearing white dresses over blue skirts. Having been public- ly questioned py the Futher Superior, certain psalms and anthems were sung; the novice's habits, capcular, girdie, and suudals, wimple and cloak, having been’ solemnly blessed, the habit was delivered tothe bridesmaids. The Superior then sitting on bis seat before the altar, in full robes as Father of the order, the acolytes having spread a towel over his kuees, delivered to him « pair of scissors, whereupon the young novice was brought forward, and while the novices’ hymna, « world of rorrow,” was being sung by the sis- ters, her long black hair was all cut off, the black long tresses falling on the ground argand er. Her ornaments being taken§off, she herself threw them also on the ground, in token of having renounced the vanities of the world She was then led out by two sisters to put aside her white dress, and soon returned habited in the Benedictine frock. The whole habit was then placed upon her b the Superior, while ap inte prayers and b: zs were Used, “Lastiy, after the binder and wimple were placed on the head, the white veil was solemaly blessed and incensed, and then placed over her head. She was immediately led by the Mother Prioress to her stall in the choir, holding a lighted taper in her hand until her communion. Having taken the three vows for one year, the service concluded by the choir singing the anthem, “Wise virgin, take your lamp and come, the Bridegroom cometh, He calleth for thee.) ‘The novice then rose and went forward to the altar steps holding ber lighted taper, and while she was receiving the sacrament, the choir-curtain fell, and neither she nor the oth r sisters were seen apy more. ‘The week before last, a nun took the black veil in this house. The ceremonies on that oc- casion were still more striking and solemn. ‘The Feltham nuns are entirely enclosed; they never go out; they only see visitors at a grating im the convent parlor, and then their faces are covered. They observe the strict Benedictine Tule, and recite the ancient Benedictine office. As their numbers increase it is hoped to estab- lish the «Perpetual Adoration;” at present only a few hours a day are devoted to this purpose. During the watch, each nun wears large flowing crimson veil over the vell of her or- der. We are also informed that the nuns hope to receive pupils as soon as the requisite ar- Tangemenis can be made. ‘The house 18 the only strictly cloistered con- vent in the church of England, in which the life of Mary, who chose the “better part,"1s altogether led, May the perpetual prayers and intercessions of those good sisters be of great blessing to our English Church. Their prayers are to be especially and frequently oftered for the approaching council at Rome, that the Pope may have the boldness to mike it indeed ecumenical by imvitimg the Angelican and Eastern bishops to attend, and that so the out- ward divisions of Catholic Christendom may be bealed by bim who is indeed the balm of Gilead.

InPROVEMENT or PasTURES.—A successful farmer in this vicinity claims that many pas- tures are so overstocked that the roots of the grass and the whole plant are kept so small that its growth is feeble, and not bali the feed is aforded that the latd would produce if stocked lightly a year or two, and the grass al- lowel so teae auoa thrifty start, He has kept large stock of cattle, yet the feed in hus nas, jure is 0 rank that in some places ton of ha: per acre might be harvested.

The present de- pression isa long and severe one. It is as certain that it will pass away when the normal conditions of snecessful trade are restored, as that all such preceding depressions have pass. ed away. And when that occurs, if the present tariff can be retained, there is every reason to believe thatthe wool-grower will havea lonz, and probably uninterrupted career of prosper- ity. "The man who has spent any considerable portion of his life or capital in establishing choice flocks, is exceedsngly unwise to aban. don or sacrifice them now, when depression bas reached its climax, and when every change must be for the better—Dr. Randall, in Rural New Yorker.

MN. Duve and Lemaitre, two young mechani- japs m Paris, have invented a new kiad of y," or any piece bells are set going as long as the piece is ap- plied. This is affected by the disposal of several tumblers with regard to a small lever which completes the battery circuit when ele- vated. When all the tumblers are lifted sim- ultaneously, as by the master-key, the lever is not raised and no alarm is given; but if one, or two, or three be lifted, the alarm lever is raised and the ringing takes piace. If the burglar, knowii the mechanism of the ik. try to force the lock plate by any of the urual burglars’ struments, as soon 8 et ett in co tttempted ri esate ‘wedged in the ringing commences. y lock can be applied to all doors or fastenings without distinction. The acting agent of alarm is & feeble current of electricity, produced by a small battery of two elements. The pile used is that of Leclanche (small model), with peroxide of manganese and a single liquid, which does not require touching for several months, and then even a little water is all that is necessary to re- place that lost by ev: tion, The master-key is protected by an insulating substance, so that when introduced in establishes no contact, nor does it raise the alarm lever when the tumblers are lifted. Now, supposing a barglar to have ‘8 dozen or se isolated keys, he could introduce any one of them silently, but on his attempting to turn it, the wards not being those of the master-key, the alarm wonld be continuously given and putan endto his experiments, so so that he could not try one key after another Treating Bees with Cold Water. Bees in swarming bave been known to alight Upon persons and animals stinging them se- yerely and in some instances causing death. ‘The American Bee Journal,jin referring to an instance of the @ind, where a swarm of bees recently settled upon the head of a horse stand- ing in front ofa church and the owner, who ‘went fo its assistance, was stung senseless, says thatall the dificulty could have been obviated by the use of cold water. In such cases the Journal advises a prompt application of a few gallons of cold water sprinkled from common watering pot di- rectly on the clustering bees. It remarks that little knowledge, presence of mind and calm- ness would have been serviceable here; for nothing is more apt to rouse the ill temper of bees than to come in contact with a sweaty horse; anda horse is & most helpless animal when attacked by bees. During the extreme hot weather of July we had several swarms come off t were ex- wemely irritaple, and we treated them to a sprinkling of cold water, after which they be- came quiet, were easily Bandied and were hived without the least trouble.—Utica Herald Rye Was there ever any bread so good as rye and Indian bread! Pity there are so few who know how to make it. Once in agreat while we find some old Indy who can doit toa charm We knew several a few years ago, and one of them told us just how to make it’ She said:—“For a ick loaf, I take one pint rye flour to three pints of corn meal. one-half tea-cap of molasses, or brown sugar, scald with botling water—be sure to stir in water enough to frye a4 scald it—cover it up and let it stand till cool, then reduce with cold sweet milk un- til thin enough to pour into your pan, bake all day, let it stand in the oven ail night, and in the morning yon will have the best loaf of bread you ever tasted. If your crust is too hard to eat, remove it, soak in water and add to your next loaf. 1t will be ricber than the first—Mrs. BARKER in Western Suntoor Books aND SCHOOL REQUISITES.
