EARTH'S WANDERIN GS.

And the Dove found no rest for the sole Of her foo
Child Of pleasure always rowing
Through the fowery fields Of sin;
S i'll this truth forever proving
There . q canker worm within;
Let thy fond delusion cease,
Turn thee to the ark OF peace.
Man Of cares thus daily heaping
Sordid treasures, gIutering dust,
Sowing on, yet never reaping,
Ever fearing blight and rust;
Turn from Mammon's tossing sea,
To the ark Of peace for thee.
Thou, the phantom fame pursuing,
Toiling up ambitions height,
Pause, the semblance thou art wooing
Leads through danger, crime, and night,
From the wave of human strife,
Turn thee, ere the storm is rife
Pilgrim worn with grief, and weary,
Mourning for the loved ones gone
Is thy pathway sad and dreary!
Turn thee where the Ark rides on;
All thy wanderngs now are DER,
Child of Sorrow, weep no more.

AN INVENTION The Pennsy vania Inquirer says
a new apparatus is about to be introduced in the
British Navy, the object of which is TO prevent the
collision of steamers at night. The commander OF
the steamer, while the bridge which connects the
two paddle boxes, is enabled by it, without uterng
word TO direct the man at the helm the darkest
night how 10 steer, with the facility as he
does in open dayIilh t, by the of his hand, and
the same signal which directs the helmsman how to
put the helm, also points out the position of the helm
to any other vessel that may be near that vessels
may be enabled TO steer clear of each other without
the chance of collision, as each ship will know how
the other is steering, and whether her helm is hard
aport or starboard.

AN EXCITING STORY.

The following fact will show the fearful
danger to which solitary travellers are
sometimes exposed. A man belonging TO
Mr.. Schmelen's regation, at Bethany,
returning homewards from visit to his
friends, took a c:rcuitous course in order
to pass small fountain, or rather pool,
where he hoped to kill an antelope to car
ny home to his family The sun had risen
to some height by the time ne reached the
spot, aud seeing no game, he laid his gun
down on shelving rock, the back part of
which was covered with species of dwarf
thorn bushes. He went to the water, took
hearty drink, and returned to the rock,
smoked pi pc, and being little tired, fell
asleep. In a short time the heat reflected
from the rock awoke him, and opening his
eyes he saw large lion crouching before
him, with his eyes glazing in his face, and
within little more than yard Of his feet.
He sat motionless for some minutes, till he
had recovered his presence Of mind, then
cycling his gun, moved his hand slowly
towards 1t; the lion seeing him, raised his
head and gave q tremendous roar; he made
another and another attempt, but the gun
being far beyond his reach, he gave it up,
as the lion seemed we'll aware Of his object
and was enraged when he attempted to
move his hand. His situation now became
painful in the extreme; the rock on which
he sat became so hot that be could scarce
ly bear his naked feet to touch it, and kept
moving them, alternately placing one abo We
the other The day passed and the night
also, but the lion never moved from the
spot; the sun rose again, and its intense
heat soon rendered him past feeling. At
noon the lion rose and walked to the water
only lew yards distant, looking behind
as it went, least the man should move. and
seeing him stretch out his hand to take his
gun, turned in rage, and was upon the
point of springing upon HIM. The animal
went to the water, drank, and returning,
lay down again at the edge of the rock
Another night passed; the man in describ-
ing 1t said he knew not whether he slept,
but if he did it must have been with his
eyes open, for he always saw the lion at
his feet. Next day, in the forenoon, the
animal went again to the water, and while
there listened to some noise, apparently
from an opposite quarter ana disappeared
in the bushes. The man now made anoth-
err effort and seized his gun; but on attemp-
ting to rise; he fell, his ANGLES being with
out power With his gun in his hand, he
crept to the water and drank, but looking
at his feet, he saw as he expressed 1t. ''his
toes roasted" and the skin torn off with
the grass. There he sat few moments,
expecting the lions return, when he was
resolved to send the contents Of the gun
through his head; but as he did not appear,
tying his gun to his back, The poor man
made the best Of his way on his hands and
knees to the nearest path, hoping some
solitary individuals might pass. He could
60 no farther, when providentially a per-
son came up. who took him to a place Of
safety, from whence he obtained help
though he lost his toes, and was a cripple
for life. - Missionary Journal.

YANKEE ENrERPRIsE.-A recent letter
from an American in Paris communicates
this instance Of Yankee enterprise, which
is both amusing and striking.
| have been amused lately with an in
stance Of Yankee enterprise worthy Of no.
tice. There was little steamer calico the
Bangor advertiscs last summer to sail from
Boston to the Azores, Gibralter, Malta and
Constantinople. She was a little thing.
built strong, with powerful engine, TO run
between Boston and Bangor
This bold push for Europe amazed peo-
pie very much, particularly as they adver-
tised for passengers. She sailed, and the
frstthinS tha: was heard Of her she put into
Halifax, which possibly may be accounted
for by the fact that coal is cheaper there
than in Boston.
Next we hear Of her. she is in Gbralter
towing vessels detained in the Gut. Then
at Constantinople, towing vessels through
the Dardanelles: and lastly, carrying pas
sengcrs aud pilgrims from Constantinonle
to Trebizonde, on the As;atc side Of the
Black Sea. And read in a French pa
per the other day, that one trip she had 500
passengers; Pilgrims, Turks, Jews and H.
idels. This is fair specimen Of Yankee
enterprise.

Why is SPECIE SHIPPED TO THE UNITED
STATES FROM ENGLAND? This question is
answered in figures by an exchange paper,
which gives table Of all the wooden and
cotton fabrics imported to Boston, New
York, and PhiIadeIphia,in lS41 and 1912,
from Liverpool. 1t appears, by this table,
that the importatonS in 1S4l were twice
as large as those of 1912. The importa-
lions during the first quarter of l643 have
also been very small-much less than thew
were during the corresponding months
in1642. This state Of things will soon
make gold and silver abundant in our coun-
try.

to ensure full attendance. We would remark that
the Mozart Society have been at considerable ex-
pense during the past few months for room rent,

altogether of public character, it is hoped the cti-
will exhibit their generosity-do no forget the

Crescent City Of the 1st ultimo. says:
"The imposing ceremony of taking the
white veil was performed last week at
the Catholic Convent about three miles be-
low the city. A very large number Of la
dies and gentlemen were present, and the
proceedings from first to last were of
most solemn and interesting nature. The
noviciaes, three in number, were girls of
great beauty, and about eighteen or twenty
years Of age. They were robed precisely
as if for the bridal, with long, sweeping,
airy white dresses and splendid wells, and
with orange blooms and japonica flowers
decorating the clusters Of their cloudng
hair When the appropriate religious cere-
monies were over, they kneeled at the holy
alter, where their rich locks fell victims to
their intent to forsake this outer, busy,
scandalous world, and devote themselves to
the service Of Christ; with whom this taking
Of the 'whte veil is embema,ic of bri-
dal. After that they proceeded about the
oratory-kissed all the ladies present-bade
them and the world farewell, and retired 10
the solemn shades Of the cloister There,
for the space Of one year, they will devote
themselves to the holy study Of divine me-
ditatons,, and next April they will either
return to the world, or, by taking the black
veil indicate their wish TO nestle still closer
in the bosom of GOdi"

TRADE OF THE MIssIssIPPI-In a re-
port made by Mrs. Barrow of Louis
lana, in the Senate OF the United States,
some extraordinary facts are stated in re-
ference to the Great Valley o. the Miss's-

and two Territories, with population Of
nearly seven millions. In 1912, there
were $50 steamboats, running upon the Mis-
sissippi. and about 1000 flat boats The
value OF the downward trade to New Or
leans is estimated at $3.50, 900, O0O annual
lv-the upward trade at 500, 900, 0O0.-

be considered as bringing them food in the
one hand and poison in the other.
Do FISHES THINK The Sunday Mer-
curry thus argues the point:
1t is said, and supposed to be true, that
fishes never think. We think thew do
think-for one stopped to think once after
approaching our bait, with the evident in
tention of biting; but he came to the con-
clusion that he might just as we'll let it
alone. SO we thought, too. Now if that
fish did Mt think, there is no doubt but he
thought he thought.
