THE WORLD'S COSTLIEST WARDROBE. The most costly wardrobe in the world belongs to the Pope. Etiquette compels him to wear difier2nt garments each day of the year, and most of tliem are ornamented with rare gems. The Pope's little skull caps arc of the tinest silk, while his embroidered slippers of velvet are gorgeous to behold. Still more costly are his gloves, made of white wool, embroidered with fine pearls in the shape of a cross. A special herd of .fifty sheep is kept, from which ell papal woollen garments are manufactured.

" /CHRISTENDOM ASTRAY.' The book for all who are distressed by Clerical Doctrines or Clerical Criticism, and who therefore desire to become enlightened as to the best way of deliverance from the confusions, disputings, and contradictions ol an apostate world.

It will make the Bible a new book for you. For loan from H. MILVERTON, Taihaoe.
