. by the swinging lamp dimly burning;
All silent within save tne ticking type,
All without save the night watch turning;
And heavily echoed the solemn sound,
As slowly he paced O'eT he frozen ground.
And dark were the mansions so lately that shone,
Wth the JOY Of irntylty cleaning,
And hearts that were beating in sympathy them
We've now living It O'eT in their dreaming
Yet the plnter still worker at his lonely post,
AS slowly he gathered h7 mighty host.
And there lay the me, chant all pillowed in down,
And building b,sght hopes for the morrow,
Nor di canned he that fate then weaving wand
That would bring to him fer and sorrow;
Yet the pTin' or wps there in his shadOwy room,
And he sat in his frame work that rich mans doom.
The young wife wa7 sleeping, whom la 3ly had bound
The ties that death only can sever;
And dreaming, she started, yet woke with a smile,
For he thou ght they pa. ID forever;

BREACH OF PROMISE CAsE.-A charming
business-like young milliner, who had been in the
habit of tripping into bank for her small change,
made her visit the other day. and says: Good
morning, Mr.. Cashier. | have come for five dol
lars worth of your small change again"
" | am sorry to say, Miss -, that we cannot
accommodate you," was the reply
" But here is your promise to pay demand"
" cannot help that"
"Then you break your promise, do you "
Certainly"
=" And with impunity!"
"To be sure-our charter allows it''
Allows you to break many promises as you
please, and break them when you please
= 1t may be construed"
"Why so ?"
" Because have made promise, not a promise
to pay a five dollar note which | would blush to
break, but promise Of my very self to one | do
not love-"
"Why don't you break it then ?"
" All, ah, Mr. Cashier, there's the rub. Unlike
your bank, have charter, and houd be sued
for breach OF promise, and heavily fined"
POISONING WHALEs.-An English gentleman
named Akermann, called on the Academy of Sci
ences at Paris to pronounce the merits of a har-
poon which he has invented for killing whales by
means of poison-the poison flowing from the har-
poon as the weapon enters the animal. But the
learned conclave has just declined to express any
opinion, the ground that the question is one
which can only be decided practically, and that
there means of practical demonstrations on
whales at Paris. 1t was observed by one SnUGnt
that the inventor would do well to find out w at
particular kind of poison will kill whales, it being
by means certain that the most formidable
any effect the monsters of the deep; and in proof
of this he called to mind that an elephant once
swallowed two large bottles of prussic acid without
being in the slightest degree affected.

The Great PLAGUE in the 14th Century.


slight sketch of the history of this awful vista
ton, compiled from source upon which we may
pretty confidently rely, will chow by comparison,
what trfling matter is magniiied into pest'lence
the present day. Like the cholera, this fearful
pestlence first appeared in the East 1t broke out
in India about the year 1913, and thence extended
its ravages TO the western parts of ASIA into Egypt,
Abyssinia, and the northern portions of Africa. 1t
proceeded over Asia Minor, Greece, and the Archi-
pelago, almost depopuatng those regions in its
march. According to numerous writers, where it
twas most favorable it spared one person out of
three or one out of five but where it ragged most
violently scarcely out of fifteen or twenty es-
capped destruction. Some countries, partly by the
plague, and partly by earthquakes, which were
awiuy frequent at that time, were left quite DESC
late Itappears to have remained five or six months
in one place, and then to have gone in search of
fresh victims. Before invading Chris ondom, il
swept off %, 800 900 persons throughout the East
in the course of a single year. From Greece the
plague passed into Italy. The Venitans, having
lost 100 0C0 souls almost entirely deserted their
city. At Florence 10000 persons persisted in one
year. France next felt its fury, At Avignon the
mortality was terrible. When it first broke out
there, no fewer than siXty-sx Carmete friars died
before any body knew how, and it wC7 imagined
that lheV had murdered one another. OF the mem.
hers of the English college, at Avignon, not one
was left alive; and of the whole population, moi
one in five In one day 1912 persons perished, and
in another 400. Proceeding northward, the pesti-
lenCe reached Paris, where II swept of 5OOOO FsO
pe. About the same time it spread into G5rmany
where II 400, GOO persons became its victims. Al
Lubbock, alone, according TO the concurring &C
counts of several writers, 90 900 ople died in one
year. and of these 1900 are reported to have per.
ished in the space of four hours.
About the beginning OF August, 134S, the
scourge appeared in England, spreading every
where such destruction, that out of the whole
population hardly one person in ten survived. II
the churchyard of Yarmouth, 1852 people wer,
buried in one year and in the city of Norwich
1874 died within six months. No general state
mpnt of the total amount of mortality in Londor
that it was terrible beyond imagination. The pes
gence ragged violently in Wales and Scotland
thence, passing into Ireland, it made great havoc
among the English residents but, strange to say
ths native Irish wore but little affected,

But to the subject. You will perceive that the
tops OF these stockings (by which suppose court
ship to be represenledD are seaDled and by seam
lng are dra vn into a snarl, but aiterward comes
time when the whole is made plain, and continues
so to the end and final toeing off. By this, wish
to take occasion to congratulate yourself that you
are now through SeeR,iag, and have come to plain
reality. Again. as the whole of these comely stock
ings not made at once, but by the addition of
little stitch after another, put IN with skill and
discretion until the whole presents the fair and
equal piece of work which you now see; so, life
does not consist of one great action, but millions of
little ones combined and may it be with your
lives. No stitch dropped when duties are to be
performed-no widening made where bad princi-
pies are to be reproved, or economy is to be pre-
served; neither seeming nor 7Sdrrortng where
truth and generosity are IN question. Thus every
stitch OF life made right and set in the tight place
hone either too large or too small, too light or
too loose; thus may you keep on your smooth and
even course, making existence fair and con.
sstent piece until together. Having passed the
heel you come to the very toe of life, and here, in
the final narrowing off, and dropping the coil of
this embematical pair or companions and comfort
ing associates nothing appears but white, the token
OF innocence and peace, of purity and light-may
you, like these stockings, the final stitch being
dropped and the work completed 60 together from
the place where you formed, to happier state
Of existence, a present from earth to heaven. HO-
ping that these stockings and admonitions may
meet a cordial reception, remain in the true blue
friendship, seemly, yet without seeming,
