THE FATE OF THE CHROMOS. A Woman's Anathemas of of Truth and Innocence." In the past days 1 have not indulged in any special enthusiasm for ine New York Obsereer, having umt-ally differed from it in theology and politics, but now my heart goes out to this embodiment of staunch old conservatism in gratitude and admiration. Why Because at her masthead bravely flteswll.is announcement "Aro cirvmos given to To tint! a religions journal with taste, honesty and independence enough to stand on its own ng its subscribers the best it can in tne way of editorials, correspondence anu selections and not clirotnos i unspeakably refreshing. Tom and 1 suffered many thing tront chromos; big-headed, red faced oabies, apitaretitlv in the last stages of some highly intlanniKitoiydisea.se; ioiig-legged gi' ls, sitting among cats ind gazing out with an irritating!) intense stare on vacancy purple com- llexioned young damsels, standing -it a thicket of withered daisies and dandelions; trees without bodies and odies without trees; tiauniing reap ers bowed down under a load oi gaudy popies, and drowned young ivomen just rescued trom a watery rave in strikingly elegant and un-et pink ball have from iiiue to time walked in upon us and iakeu possession. Yes; they came, elegant specimens of art worth from twenty to fifty dollars each;" "these beauti ful gems which a gentleman of denied astheliu taste pronounces ot the very highest order of art," and liicli, somebody eise affirms, ''prtacl.

gospe of truth and iunoceuce' by ijk Ii thousands of homes are made better" these gems and gospels came, and, -what was worse, lid not go away; they stayed. And teing an inartistic wretcn with no 'decided ajstlietic taste," I did not ee gem's, or angels, or cherubs, oi gospels of truth and innocence, but, outrariwise, very high-colored, un- attiral, disagreeable 'caricatures of art. Yes; they came and stayed till it became a serious problem what to do with them. Frame them in black walnut and gilt and hang them in the parlor by the side of our lovely Sistine Madonna and sleeping venus'r This was not to be thought of for a moment. Put them in the guest chamber, where they would be pretty well out of sight That ni ght do, and yet that room looked so pure and tasteful with its pretty white draperies, its tiny book-case and its one exquisite engraving of GuidoV Annunciation.

1 could not spoil it by such coarsely-colored pictures. Give them to the little school-teacher we all like to see so well, who is too poor to buy pretty things, and yet sadly longs for them But these are not pretty things; it is a shame to make believe they are and thus corrupt her uudepraved taste. Give th- to our maid of all work? The money it would cost to frame them would be far better invested in cotton-cloth and flanneL But something must be done. I was tired to death of huving them around, and in that desperate stale of mind induced by the fall cleaning I determined to carry them down to the kitchen range, make a great bonfire of them and thus end the matter. On my way to the kitchen I met my spouse, Now, there may be women who look lovely with their dresses turned up behind a dusty handkerchief pinned cornerwise over their braids, but I am not one of them; and, when thus arrayed, 1 prefer to keep out of Tom's way.

-He was so taken back by my personal appearance, and the load of angels and cherubs in my arms, that lie stood transfixed, with his month ind eyes wide open. "Whywhy whwhat is going to happen?" he stammered out. 'Nothing, onlv 1 am going to burn up two babies, one young girl, ind three grown-up young women, I said calmly. lorn is a good man, but not so quick to take a joke as some, and his eyes and mouth opened still wider; ms inward thought evidently being. "Am I tied for life to this kind of a woman this kind, referring alike to the personal appearance and moral character of the wife of his bosom.

When Tom does see a thing, however, he takes it in fully, and in process of time, when the situation dawned upon him, he burst into an immoderate fit of laughing and laughed till he cried. "But. wife, he said when ne could command his voice, I wouldn't burn them up." hat would yon do with themr I asked in that incisive tone wives know how to use when necessary. "Well I don't know exactly, but I'm sure somebody would be glad of them." "irVto!" I asked, facing him squarely, for I was in no mood for dallying; my arms ached, and my ciemiing was all put back, and the dust had got into my soul as well as my eyes and throat. "Why 1 can't say who, just this minute, but I wouldn't waste them." 1 hen, inspired with a sweetly, solemn thought, he exclaimed, "Oh, I'll tell you, send them to that home missionary; they'll exactly fit into that barrel you are packing." "As if," I retorted, "with his fron-tier life, his eight children and 400 alary, that home misionarv hadn't enough to suffer without these "Gospels of truth and innocence!" interrupted Tom.

"Tom, I'm ashamed of you," I said, not heeding the interruption, "it's down right mean to give away what ire can't endure ourselves." Tom is a patient man, but this net-rWl him. "They shan't be burned," gospers-rather rudely, "I won't have them destroyed." When a man speaks like that, poor, subjected woman has to yield; and I went back to my sweeping, feeling a good deal as Abby Hadas-sah Smith, of Glastenbury, did when her cows were driven off overruled but not convinced. With my sweeping dress I laid off my ill-temper and appeared at the tea table looking, I flattered myself, like a well-dressed, amiable woman. Nothing. more was said about the chromos for seveml weeks.

Tom had settled them down in a corner of his study, with their faces towards the wall, and I dutifully dusted them every day, feeling a little wicked satisfaction, I confess, at the annoyance they must cause him; for he is very orderly in his habits, and no more enjoys "gems" and "gospels" than 1 do. Once or twice I saw a funny lit tie twitch about his moui as I replaced them, but he was not going to break tbe ice; no more was I. Early in December, a young married relative of ours from Colorado, came to visit us; a charmingly bright, sunny little body, full of Western spirit and enthusiasm. Next to a home missionary, Mrs. Colorado might be expected to appreciate "gems and gospels;" so turning the two babies' faces outward, one morning, Tom watched her countenance as she gazed.

"Oh, how beautiful, how perfectly lovely!" she exclaimed iii a little rapture. "Would you consider them worth carrying home?" asked Tom, with a Hypocritically solemn visage, "Worth it!" she said, "1 should be perfectly delighted. I have so few pictures, and these are so sweet!" You should hve seen the triumphant gleam iu Tom's eye as.he,wink-ed at me. Of course, I was for the lime put down. It was perfectly disgusting to see the airs Tom gave himself, that day.

But I bided my time and when night came, and 1 had his uigliness all to myself, I delivered such a powerful lecture on the guilt of deception and hypocrisy, and taking advantage of the ignoraut, a ell as corrupting the taste of nobody knew how many generations of Western children; leading them to mistake coarse combinations of cheap color for true art, that Tom became really penitent and seriously thought of taking back the babies. But falling back on the mischievous old adage "Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise," he decided to let them pass for specimens of genuine art, and be borne to Colorado as "gems of the very highest order;" but i knew his conscience pricked him, and that he would not be likely to do it again. Just as he was falling asleep, that night, he murmured, "They haven't een gospels of of love and peace MEXICAN CURIOSITIES. Antiquities from Palanque and Ecuador. From the New York Times.

Mr. Jose Ortiz do i'apia, a gentleman who has for main years been engaged in collecting antiquities iu Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, central America and other Spauis h-Auiericau countries, arrived in this city a few days ago from Mexico, briugiug with him a large and valuable collection of antiquities obtained principally from the ruins ol the ancient City of Palenque, in the state of Chiapas, Southern Mexico, it will be a rare treat to the archce-ologists and lover of curiosities, as there are some of the objects which are supposed to be 20,000 years old. There are idols of stoue and earthenware, stone masks, ornaments ot gold, a stone sceptre, mirrors of polished agate, cornelian, obsidian, and other materials, spear and arrow heads of quartz and obsidian, hatchets and knives of stone, stones ol grinding colors, water jars and vases of earthenware, tobacco pipes, stamps for stamping figures on cloth, musical instruments, of wood and clay, spindles, and a host of other things of a most interesting character. The most important object of the collection is a stone idol, which is supposed to have beeti made bj the primitive race that inhabited that portion of Mexico. Erom the traditions banded down by the Indians, and from the Popolvuh, or sacred book of the Quiche Nation, this idol is supposed to represent the God Ciicumaz, or the God of the Air, also called by the Indians Quetzalcoatic.

This idol is about two feet high and eighteen iuches in diameter. It is cut from a block of chocolate colored porphyry, and represents a feathered serpent in a solid coil. From its mouth, which is widely distended, the head of a woman emerges, her arms and legs appearing from between the coils. This is supposed to represeut the origin of woman. It is in a perfect state of preservation, and is highly polished.

The type of the face of the woman bears no resemblance to that of the race that inhabits that portion of Mexico to-day, and is very much like the carved faces seen among the Egyptian ruins. The idol is thought by Mexican antiquaries to be at least a thousand years old. The stone masks, of which there are some fifteen or twenty, are made from different kinds of stone, and are of varied types. There is one that deserves especial mention; it is of jade or nephith a mineral not found in Mexico; whether it was originally taken to tbxt country from Asia, or how it come to be there, is a question still to be settled. It is of a light apple green, and semi-transparent.

Some of the masks are highly uolished, while others are quite rough. Two of them both of white marble, were eyidently made to represent death. On one of these, eyes made of bluish stone had been fastened. The gold ornaments in the possession of Mr. Ortiz are the only ones that have been found up to the present time.

They consist of two rings, one of open work of a very delicate description, which has a projection upon one side' in shape of the head-dress or crown worn' by the ancient kings or emperors. It measures about one inch and a quarter in the widest part. The other is of plain beaten gold, and is about an inch and a half wide. They are both of very small diameter, aud could only have been worn by a person having a very small hand. Besids the rings there are ornaments of beaten gold, evidently intended to be worn on the head, a number of gold beads, and a small pkta of gold in tbe shape of a sandal, which is supposed to liave been worn by the king's son between wi mm me sandal, wbicn up this day is used by the lower olasses in all parts of Mexico.

The articles of copner are very few. Among them lire a hatchet, of the exact shape of those found among the ruins of the cities of ancient Greece; four bells made on the same principle as our -A-verv. siniiiilir thing is that among the ruins of Palenque there are found a number of crosses made iu exactly the same shape as those used by the Chistians of to-day. Some of them are of stone, and some of obsidian, and were worn as we wear them, suspeuded from the neck. Several of the idols, also have necklaces of beads with pendant crosses.

Among the polished stones which were used as ornaments, or insignia, there are two which bear the regular Greek cross inlaid with silver. In one of them, stars, made of copper pyrites, are set in the extremity of each arm. The mirrors, which are said to have been made for the use of Kings, are well worthy of attention. They are made of plates polished copper pyrites, and are to-tlay as bright as when they were used by their royal owners years ago. One of them is flat and polished on both sides, and is about half an inch thick and three inches in diameter.

It has a hole in the circuiuferance through which to pass a cord. The others are polished on one side only, the reverse being left unpolished aud convex. A sceptre of polished stoue, made in sections, aud held together by means of a copper rod, which passes from one extremity to the other, ls also very curious. It is about ten inches louu aud is of an exceedingly hard greenish, mottled stone, it is composed of some eight or ten different pieces. The part meant to be held in the hand is round, and the end represents a grotesque head with a crown upon it.

The musical instruments are of the most rude and primitive description, aud are principally ol, earthen-ware. The stamps for making cloth are "of very intricate ami grotesque -designs. Some of them re evidently intended for making oorders, and can be applied contin-ottsly in exactly the same way as those used by the makers of embroidery patterns of to-day. Anions the water-jars in the collection there are some which are particularly noticeable from the hideousness of the faces which form the upper part ol the jar. There is one also of peculiar style of ornamentation, consisting of interlacing veins or cords.

This jar has a very tine glaze or polish over the outer surface, and indicates a high degree of perfection in the potter's art. Another most singular article is an effigy cut out ot a hard black stoue, which resembles a negro. It represents the Ethiopian type, not only iu tin shape of head and iu the chizeliug ol ihe features, but also in the conformation of the figure. It is highly polished, aud is about eight inches in height. When it is reinembereu that the people who carved thest idols were ignoraut of the ue oi and had no tools except thosv which they made themselves oi or copper, it is difficult to conceive how they achieved the degree or perfection to which an inspection of their works evidently proves they have arrived.

It is impossible to give more than a very orief description of the articles composing this rare collection, for there are in it more than a thousand objects, all well worth a careful inspection. A most wonderful curiosity, was procured in Ecuador. It is the mumified head of an Indian warrior reduced to the size of a small orange. There are only three of these known to be in existence. One in the museum of Madrid, which was presented by Admiral i'opete, another in the Museum a.

Florence, aud the third in possession of Mr. Ortiz. The tradition is that the Ecuadorian warriors were accustomed to preserve tbe heads of their enemies slain in battle in this manner, aud to wear them as trophies. In order to reduce the size, the bones of the head were carefully removed, aud the skin and part of the integuments and tissues carefull) dried and preserved. The head iu question is certainly not more than three inches in diameter in the widest part, and yet the features are wonderfully well preserved.

The nose and ears are perfect, and the eyebrows are distinctly marked. The eyes and mouth are sewed up, it was supposed by the Indians that unless this were done the eyes could see and the mouth talk. The paritees sunken in, and the hair, which is long aud coarse, slightly interspersed with gray, nearly covers the whole head, like a mop, owing to the contraction of the scalp. An Enterprising Settler in Nebraska. The Lowell (Nebraska) Register, prints the record of an enterprising settler.

Mr. M. S. Uudlong settled on the edge of Franklin county, Nebraska, bordering on Kearney county, in March, 1872. When he arrived on his homestead, with his two sons, he had two spans of horses, but only $11 in money.

At the beginning of 1874 he had 100 acres ol land under cultivation, an orchard containing 500 young apple trees, lOo pear trees, and 100 cherry trees, and a vineyard of 500 grape vines. Mr. Budlong is now about to plant 20o apple trees, 200 peach trees, and 500 additional grape vines. The homestead is in Southern Nebraska, and on the level prairie; ami no man who has the spirit of Mr. Budlong need to fear to settle where there are no trees to shade his roof-tree from the sun.

If he plants, as Mr. Budlong has done, in five years his orchard will be coming into bearing, and if he has made a wind break of cottonwood, he will have ample fuel for his stoves. Certainly, eleven dollars in cash is not adequate for the needs of the ordinary settler, though there are numerous instances in Nebraska of men starting in this way, upon nothing as it were, and in a few years working themselves into positions of comfort. Such men are brave and enterprising; but a capital of 500, at least, is a good thing upon which to start. The larger the capital given skill, enterprise, courage aud industry, without which money is of little moment the quicker and the greater the gain.

There is abundant room and ample scope in Nebraska for men like Mr. Budlong. At a very successful seance in Cincinnati, the other night, a man burst into tears when the medium described, very accurately, a tall, blue-eyed spirit standing by him, with light side-whiskers and hair parted in the middle. "Do you know him?" inquired a man at his side in a sympathetic whisper. "Know him, I guess I do," replied the unhappy man, wiping his "He was engaged to my wife.

If he hadn't died he would have been her husband instead of me. Oh, George, George!" he murmured, in a voice choked with emotion, "why did you peg out A hollow mockery An echo. A lady render wns heard to observe on taking up the Seiitintl "I wonder if anybody haa byou boru Be Economical. Look most to your spending. No matter what comes in, if more goes out you will always be poor.

The art is not in making money, but in keeping it. Little expenses, like mice in a barn, when they are many, make great waste. Hair by hair heads get bald straw by straw" the thatch ffoes off the cottage, and drop by drop the rain comes into the chamber. A barrel is soon empty, if the tap leaks but a drop a minute. When you mean to save, begin with your mouth many thieves pass down the red lane.

A fool may make money, but it needs a wise man to spend it. Hemeiuher, it is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one going. If you give all to back and board, there is nothing left for the savings bank. Fare hard and work hard while you are young, aud you will have a chance to rest when you are old. Yesterday, the little son of one of our citizens, while playing with his sister, a bright, sweet child of five summers, got hold of his father' gun, which had been left carelessly standing in the kitcheu-yby the thoughtless parent, pointed the gun at his playmate and saying jokingly, "I'll kill yon," pulled" the triggeV.
