After gots /ewe seen the gbata, the two
greet thing e Beeares that you Must
see are the (*Melee ttnd Noukey temples.
Aleut the vest Golden Temple there is
not as much gold as would maim an Neg-
lent severeign, The air italf &espIsma.-

e hem in worship of that which them-

and deem the temple. Here stood a Fakir
wish a right eret upliftei. mod for so long
a time that he eanal not take it down, and
the ;mils of tbe hand had grown until
they looked like serpents tvindirg up and
around the palm.
Tit God of the Glaciate Temple is Siva,
or the poison god. Devils matt upon him.
He the god of wareef famine, of peati-
love . Be is the destroyer. He has
aronxid his neck string of tokulls Be -
fors him bow men whose hair never
kasw a comb. They et carrioio. and

from hurelrede of mike away, spending
their last pima of money ad exbausting
• their last item of strength in order to
reitobethis Mold: it Temple, glad to die in
or near ib, and have the ashes of their
body tbrawn into the Gatiges.
We took a carriage and went still fur-
tht r on to eee the Mc nasty Temple, so
called been,use in end Around the build-
ing monkeys abetted end are kept as
sat:red.. All evolutionists should visit
this temple devoted to the family front
whieh their semesters come. These
monkeys Chatter, and walk, and climb,
and look wise, and look silly, and have
full possession of the place. We were
&eked at the entrance of the Monkey
Temple to take off our shoea bsoause of
the esercrlaess of the place, but a small
contribution placed in the hands of an
attendant resulted in permission to enter
with our shoes on. As the Golden Tem-
ple is dedicated to Siva, the poison god,
this Monkey Temple is dedicated Siva's
wife, a deitess, that must be propitiated,
or she will cli8ORSO, and blast ti.nd destroy.
For centuties this spitfire hue been wor-
shipped. She is the goddess of scold, and
slap, ste.d tormagancy. She is supposed
to be a supernatural Xentippe t hence,
to her are brought Bowel's and rice, and
here and there the flowers are spattered
with the blood of goate slain in saerifice.
• As we walk to -day through this Mon-
key Temple we nrust not hit, or tease, or
hurt one of them. Two Englishmen
years ego lost their lives 'by the maltreat-
ment of a monkey. Passing along eine
of these Inaba streets, a monkey dui not
soon enough get out of the way, and oue
of these Englishmen struck it with his
cane. Immediately the people and the
priests gathered around these strangers,
and the public wrath increased until the
two Englishm: n were pounded to death
for having struck a monkey. No land=
the world so reveres the monkey as In-
dia, as no other land has a temple calle.1
•after it, One of the Rajahs of India spent
100,000 rupees in the marriage of two
monkeys. A nuptial procession was
formed in which ixtoved camels, elephants,
tigers cattle ana palanquine of richly
dressed people. Bands of mune smulded
the wedding march. Dancing patties
kept the night sleepless. It was twelve
days before the monkey and monkeyess
were free from their roand of attentions.
In 11 o piece but India cottld such a carni-
val have occurred. But, after all, while
we eannotapprove of the Monkey Tem-
ple, the monkey is sacred to hilarity. I
defy anyone to watch a monkey one
ute without laughter. Why was this
creature roads? For the world's 811:11188-
ment. The mission of some animals is
left doubtful and -we cannot see the use
of this or that quadruped, or this or that
insect, but the mission of the ape is
certain, all around the world it enter-
tains, Whether seated on the top of this
threple in India, or cutting up its antics
on the top of a hand.torgan it stirs the
sense of the ludicrous; Males the diaph-
ragm into cochinnation ; topples gravity
into play, and accomplishes that for
which it was created.. The eagle, and
the lion, and the gazelle, and the robin
no more certainly have their mission
than has the monkey. But it implies a
low form of Hindooism when this em-
bodied mimicry of humanity is lifted in-
to worship. In one of the eities for the
first time in my life I had an opportu-
nity of talking with a Fakir, or a Ifindoo
who has renounced the world and lives
oe. alms. He sat under a rough covering
on a platform of brick. He was covered
with the ashes of the dead, and was at
the time rubbing more of those ashes
upon his arms and legs. Be understood
and stooks English. I said to him, "How
long have you been seated here?" He
replied, "Fift,een years." "Have those
idols which I see power to help or de-
stroy?" 'Be said, "No; they only re-
present one God. There is but one God."
Question—When people die where do
they go to?
Answer—That depends upon what they
have been doing. If they have been do-
lma; good., to heaven; if they have been
doiag evil, to hell.
Question—Batdo you not believe in
the transmigration of souls, and that
after death we go lute birds or animals of
some sort?
Answer—es; the last creature a man
is thinking of while dying is the one Into
which he will go. If he is thinking of a
bird he will go into a bird ; if he is think-
ing of a cow he will go into a cow.
Question—I thought you said that at
death the soul goes to heaven or hell?
Answer—He goes there by a gradual
process. It may take him years and
years.
Question—Can any one become a Bin -
deo? Could I become a Hindoo?
Answer—Yee, you could.
Question—How mould I become a
rnn-
do?
Answer—By doing as the leindoes do.
Bat, as Ilooked upon the poor, filthy
wretch, bedaubing hiraself with the
ashes of the dead., I thought the last
thing on earth I would want to becoxne
would be a Hindoo. I expressed to a
missionary who overheard the converse
-
tion between the Vgkir eta myself my
amazement at some of the doctrines the
Fakir announced. The missionary said :
"The Fakirs are very accommodating,
and, supposing you to be a friend of
Christianity, he announced the theory of
one„God, and that oh:wards and punish -
snouts,"
There ere, however, •alleviations for
Benares. I attendea worship in one of
the Christian missions. The Herraoa,
thou le delivered inHindoostanee, of
which I eova not anderstand amtemel,
thrilled Me with its Gareesteess and
tendern s o tone, capeeially when the
missions, y told me at the close of tbe
eerviee that he receutly baptized a man

The life of the missionary is a luxuris
ous and indolent life ; aliedooletra is a
religioxt that ought not to be interfered
with.; Chrietianity.is guilty of ea imper-
tineneet when it Invades heetheadom;

blasphemies, now so -prevalent, atta to
spread. out before the Christian world the
contrast between idolatrous and Christian
countries, I preach this third eermon in
ray " 'lloundetbe-World" series.
In this tliseourse I take you to the very
headquereas of henthendern, to the very
capital of Ilindooism. ; for what Mecca is
to the Mohammedans, and what Jerusa-
lem is to the Christian, Benares, India, is
to the Hindoo. We arrived there in the
evening, and the next morning we stmt.
ed out early, among other things to Bee
the burning of the clead. Wo saw it, ere-
tnation, not as many good people in Am-
erica and Euglana are now advocating it,
namely, the burning of the dead in clean
and orderly and refined oremeetory, the
hot furnace eoon reducing the human
form to a powder to be carefully preserv-
ed in an um abut, cremation as the Hin-
doos practice it. We got into a boat and
were rowed dawn the River Ganges until
we mune opposite to where five dead
bodies lay, bier of them women wrapped
in red ger meats, and a man. wrapped in
white, Our boat fastened, we waited
and watchea. High piles of wood were
an the bank. arid this wood is carefully
weighed. on large seales, according as the
friends of the deceased can afford to pay
for it. Ite many eases only a few sticks
can be afforded, and the dead body is
burned, only a little and then thrown
into the Ganges. Rat where the relatives
of the deceased are well-to-do, an abund-
ance of wood in pieces four or five feet
long is purchased, Two or three layers
of sticks then put oxi the ground to
receive the dead. form. Small pieces of
sandal -wood are inserted to produce frag-
rance. The cleeeesed is lilted from the
resting place arta put upon this wood..
Thenthe cover is rents -Ted from the face
of the e.orpse and it is bethea with water
of the Gan.ges. Then severaa more layers
of woo 1 are put upon the bsdy, end other
stickare pieced on both sides of it, but
the head and feet are left exposed. Thole
a quantity of grease sefficieet to make
everythieg. inflammable is put on the
wood, and. tato the taaatla oi the dead.
Then one of the richest men in. Benares,
his fortune made in dile way, furnishes
the fire, and, after the priest has mum
I bled st few words, the eldest son walks
'‘three times around the sacred, pile, and
then applies the torch, and the fire blazss
up, and in a short time the body has be-
come the ashes which the relatives throw
into the Ganges.
We saw floating past us on the Ganges
the bay of a chila -which had been only
part:1y burned, because the parents could
lie afford enough wood. While we
watched the floating form of the child a
crow alighted upon it. In the meantime
hundrees of Hindoos were bathing in the
river, dipping their ht ads, filling their
xnouths, supplying their forest cups, mut-
• terMewords of so-called prayer. Such a
mingling of superstition, and loathsomene,ss, ana inhumanity I had never before
seen. The Ganges is to the Iliadoo the
best river in all the earth, but to me it is
the vilest stream that ever rolled its
stench in'horror to the sea. I looked. all
along the banks for the mourners far ths
deal. I saw in two of the cities nine
cremations, but in no case a sad look or a
tear. I said to friends, "How is thie?
rfave the living no grief for the dead?"
I found that the women do not come
forth en such occasions, but that does
not account for tbe absence of all signs
of grief. There is another reason more
potent. -Mende not see the faces of their
wives until after marriage. They take
them on recommendation. karriages
thus forneed, of . course, have not much
affection in them. Women are married
at seven and ten years of age, and are
grandmothers at thirty. Such unwisely -
formed family associations do not imply
much ardor of love. The family so poor-
ly put together—who wonders that it is
easily taken apart? And so I account
for the absence of all signs of grief at
the cremation of the Indoo.
Benares is the capital of Hindooism
and Buddhism, but Hindooism has
trampled out Buddhism, the hoof of the
one monster on• the grizzly neek of the
other monster, It is also the capital of
filth, and the capital of malodors and
the capital of indecency. The Hindoos
say they have 800,000,000 gods. Benares
being the headquarters of these deities
you. will not be surprised to find that tbe
making of gods is a -profitable business.
Here there are carpenters snakingwooden
gods, and brass workers making brass
gods, and sculptors making stone gods,
and potters making clay gods. I cannot
think of the abominations practiced here
without a recoil of stomach and a need of
cologne. Although maeb is said about
st the carving on. the temples of this eity,
aeverything is so -vile that there is not
eau& room left for the aesthetic. The
dlimotees enter the temples nine -twentie-
ths unclothed, and. depart begging. All
that rlindooism can do for a man or
woman it does here. Notwithstanding
all that may have been said in its favor
at, the Parliament of Religions in Chica-
go, it makes man a brute, and woman
the lowest type of slave. I would rather
• be ti, horse or a cow or a dog in India than
be a woman, The greatest disaster that
an happen to a Hiudoo is that he was
born at all.
Benares is imposing in the distanee as
yen look at it froth the other side of the
Ganges. The forty-seven ghats, or flights
of stone steps, reaching from the water's
edge to the buildings high up on the
banks, meek a place for the ascent and
aeseent, of the subliraities. The eye is
• lost in the bewildermett of tombs, shrrnes,
minarets,palaces and temples. It is the
• glorification of steps, the triumph of stair-
• ways, But looked at dose by, the tern -
•plea though large and expensive, are

But more than ail, the ntissionaties are

Church Missionary Soeiety has its eight
schools, all filled with learners, The
evangelizing work of the Wesleyans avit

And now a$ to the induetrious realigse
meat of missionaries: It has been said
by Bono° travellers after their retire to
America or England that the snissionar-
it are living a life full of indolence and
luxury. That is a falsehood that I would
say is as high as heaven if it did pot go
down in the opposite direction. 'When
strangers come into these tropical di -
mates the missionariee do their best to
entertain them, making sacrifiees for
that purpose. In the City of Benarcs a
missionary told .me that a gentleman
coining from England into one ' of the
mission stations of 'Baia, the missions',
ies banded together to entertain him.
Among other things, they had a ham
boiled, prepared and beautifully decorat-
ed, and the same ham was passed around
from house to house a.s this stranger ap-
peared, and in other respects a conspiracy
of kindness' wa s effected. The visitor
went home to England and wrote and
epolce of the luxury in which the mis-
sionaries of India wese living. Ameri-
cans and Englishmen come to these
'tropical regions and find a missionary
living under yearns and with different
styles of fruit on his table, and forget
that palms are here as cheap as hickory
or pine in America, and rich fruits as
cheap as plain apples. They find here
missionaries sleeping useler punkas, these
fans swung day and night by coolies, and
forget • that four cents a day is
good. wages here, aid the man finds
himself. Four cents a day for a coach-
man, a missionary can afford to ride.
There have been missionaries who have
come to these het climates resolving to
live as the natives live, and one or two
years have finished their work, their
chief rise on missionary ground being
that of furnishing for a large funeral the
chief object of interest. So far from liv-
ing in iclleness, no men on earthwork so
hard as the missionaries now in the for-
eign fields. Against fearful odds, and
-with 8,000,000 of Christians opposed to
250,000,000 of Hindoos, Mohammedans
and other false religions, these mission-
aries are trying to take India for God.
Let the good people of America, and
England, and Scotland, and of all Christ-
endone add ninety-nine and three-quart-
ers per cent to their appreciation of the
fidelity and consecration of foreign mis-
sionaries. Far away from home, in an
exhausting climete, and compelled to
send their children to England, Scotland
er America, so as to escape the corrupt
conversation andbehavior of the natives,
these men and women of God toil on un-
til they drop into their graves. But they
will get their chief appreciation when
their work is over and the day is won, as
it will be won. No place in heaven will
be boo good for them Some of the min-
isters at home who live on salaries of
81,000 or $5,000 a year, preaching the
Gospel of Him who had not where to lay
His head, will enter heaven and be wel-
eomed, and while looking for a place to
sit down they will be told: "Yonder in
that lower line of thrones you will take
your place. Not on the thrones nearest
the Ring; they are reserved for the mis-
sionaries !"
Meanwhile bit all Christendom be
thrilled with gladnese. About 25,000
converts in India every yeaf under the
Methodist Missions, and about 25,000
converts under the Baptist hlissions and
. about 75,000 converts under all Missions
every year. But more than that, Christ-
ianity is undermining heathenism and
not a eity, or town, or neighborhood of
India but directly, or indirectly, feels the
influence; and -the day speeds on when
Hindooism will go down with a crash.
There are whole villages which have
given up their gcds, and where *not en
Idol is left, The serfdom of womanhood
in. many places is being unloosened., and
the iron grip of caste is being- relaxed.
Human sacrifices have ceased, and the
last spark of the funk:re/ pyre which the
widow emelt leap has been extinguished,
and the juggurxtaut, stopped, now stands
as a curiosity for travellers to look at,
All India will be taken for Christ. If
anyone has any dishearteninents let him
keep them as his own private property ;
he is welcome to all of them. But if any
man has any encouragements to utter,
let him utter them. What we want in
the church ana the world is less croaking
owls of the night and more morning
larks with spread wing ready to meet the
advancing day. Fold up Naomi and

Then she met a dark, melaneholy man
frora New England who had come there
with the prinemal product a that ea/en-
try, censuniption, ana expected to die.
He had no right to fall in -love, lout lie
did, and, what was more remarkable, his
love was returned, Marcelena had lands
and bemos and a tenement that was a
'wonder el arehitecture, ia her own right.
and could a aye married aerlover off -band,
ber people all being easement to her
slightest wish,but the New England imam
had a cansciertee. After winning the
girl's love he decided that it would be
wicked for. him to inerry her, only to
make her a widow. ,
"But you will not die, Jainez"—his
liame was jaraes—said Mareelena.
make myself prayer to God en the thorn,
that you live—I suffer; then he make you
to be well."
"No, dear one, you mistake; Goa does
not ask that you shall lacerate your fair
body with thorns that I may recover. If
anyone did that it should be me. Promise
me that you will never again go with the
Penitentes— promise me, Mareelena, al-
though I may not live to know that you
keep your promise."
So Marcelena promised, and the,
brought her guitar and played sweetly to
her lover, who watched her with intent
gaze longing for a new lease of life that
he snight call her Isis own.
Threugh the interference of friends he
became an intimate of the government
hospital at the fort, and improved so
rapidly that he sent for Mareelena to
eome to him and be married by the post
chaplain.
"No," said Marcelena, in the proverb
of her people, "that would be the haystack
going after the sow. I marry at home,
or not at all."
Pretty Marcelena, controlled herself as
best she weld, and in a moment of lone-
liness consented to attend a ball with a
former lover, Serum Filipe, who had sworn
to himself that she should never marry
another mate But of this the New Mexi-
can girl was quite unconscious. She ar-
rayed herself for the ball in an elaborate
dancing skirt of gay striped stuff, em-
broidered in many colored beads and sil-
ver sequin in strings down the breaths.
Her dainty feet were encased in soft kid
moccasins, for this was an occasion when
she wore her tribal dress, and she carried
the castanets bequeathed to her by her
Spanish mother. So accoutered she ac-
companied Senor Filipe.
That night Marcelena was as usual the
belle of the ball. It was not at all sur-
prising that she should accept the horn -
age showered upon her, but her heart was
not in it, and at midnight she stepped to
the open door of the dancing hall, and
looked far over the shining plain and
thought of her lover lying in the weed of
the hospital, perhaps dying under that
same glorious moonlight. Bianca, her
friend. had taken the last dance for her,
and she stepped out to breath the welcome
tonie of the night air.
Someone was singing "El Borrachito,"

that he 'might have, but one must be kept

wloile another must be kept for storage,

beads to buy a dozen pardons.
Her handsome arms clasped the cava-
lier Filipe, but not too closely, she was in
a hurry to get home to pray for her
"3amez."
They dashed into the moenlight and
across the plain, through the plain be-
yond., over fields of cactus, startling the
jack rabbits and the piping quail, and
away like the wind, but in an opposite
direction to the home of Marcelena. At
fleet the girl did not notice it, but Filipe,
flushed and fearless, called out:
"To Acorna, Gazelle, to the country of
Filipe, ana you will never see your puny
American again."
There was a wild cry of despair as the
girl tried to throw herself from the flying
horse, hut could not free herself for a
moment from the pa,ssionaM grasp of the
Mexican.
&Tll kill you," she eaid between her
teeth.
• "Kill away," my pretty angel d' amor,
"but you shall be myetife first."
On an on, with the speed of the wind.
went the fleet horse. and they were near-
ing the little cenietery in the valley when
Marcelena's arms relaxed, and her head
dropped on the she -deer of Filipe. • lle
believed she had fainted, and attempted
to chaisge his position, when like a flash
of lightrung, the steel poinard in hishelt
cleft the air and descended—not in his
treacherous heart, but in the soft breast
of the beautiful and desperate Marcelena.
At that inoment a company of United.
States soldiers eaxne pouring out of an
anelattlatice which was slowly passing on
its way to Fort Bowie.
They captured the ea-yelier Filipe, and
took the apparently lifeless girl to the
hospital, a temporary building then in

sionary meeting this evening instead of to
the theater; he is to enjoy here the per-
rogative of superiority to Bridget and
ofter Els views on servants generally with-
out care of consequences. And he is to
be able to invite his friends into the house
and carry them at once to his apartment,
em that his parents will no longer be dis-
turbed at their tea or reading or embroid-
ery by reporte of fire crackers in the china
closet or the fall of valuable furniture in
the parlor, or the discovery of coal in the
best plug hat on the rack, or the yells of
a tortured cat or the hilarity of a stray
dog playing with the bric-a-brac.
There are to be clothes hooks in this
room and one closet that is not to be oc-
cupied by anything that does not belong
to the boy—excepting, of course, his mo-
ther's trunk and last year's bonnets and. a
few of her dresses a,nd Bridget's Valise,
and his father's winter clothes and fish-
ing tackle, and his little brother's cast off
toys and the broken bedstead and the dis-
abled washstand. There is to be a 'beck -
ease, and there is not to be a single copy
of anyone's sermons, nor of the Book of
Martyrs, nor of poems, nor anything
whatever of an improving and -useful
&exacter. ' Likewise there are to be pic-
tures which represent soldiers and hunt-
ing scenes and Indian massacres andship-
wrecks and duels and real events—not
flat landscames and smirking saints. In
short, the room is to ee the boy's and is
to representthe boy and .be like him. It

up without any remarks, except by him-
self when he finds that a handful of his
rarest postage stamps have been gathered
up with the dust and put into the stove.
The boy has a ng needed' a rocra where
he can meditate and pray and form lxis
charaeter and put his hoots on the bed
and paint his little brother's face so as to
scare his mother and do his arithmetic
lessons and determine to be a general or a
polieemam and find out what is the easi-
est way to test clocks tegether after he
has taken them apart, and 'whistle "Sweet
Marie," and hide the pennies that he is
saving for his mother's Christmas and his
father's birthday. In the privacy of the
apartment that, is to he his he will en-
• force the beauty of the saying,- :
Oh. 1,, bat a thing of bubbling joy
i8 to be a roartng human boy.
It was at that, time of the year when
the sky in New Mexico is as bine as the

versified by caves and canyons. And
spread everywhere, the 'wonderful cacti,
with their marvelous flowers, like the
scarlet blossoms of sin.
