A little blind boy, aged about twelve
years, wished TO learn to read the Bible
with raised letters, prepared for the use
Of the blind. In very short space of
time he learned to run his fingers along
the page, aud to read IL with ease. The
highest object Of his wishes was now TO
possess complete copy Of the Bible
for the blind, which consists Of several
large volumes. His parents were una
BILE to buy one, but his minister obtain
ed one from benevolent society. IL
was in several volumes.
Not long after the little bog received
the books, his pious mother saw him re-
tire to the room where they were kept,
and she stepped softly TO the door 10 see
what he would do. And why do you
think the dear little boy went alone to
his room! His mother saw him kneel-
ing by the side of these precious volumes
and lifting up his hands in prayer to re-
turn thanks to God for this blessed gift
of his holy word. lie then rose from
his knees, and taking up one ofthe vol
umes In his arms, hugged and kissed IL,
and then laid il on one side and proceed
ed to the next, and so on, till he had, in
this simple but pleasing manner, signi-
fed his love for each Of those blessed
volumes, which, through the medium ol
touch, had spread before his mind the
wonders aud the glories of Gods love Ia
man.

The death OF Arago, who has so long
occupied the post Of honor at the head Of
the philosophers Of France, is one Of tho
memorable items Of the European news
The event was not unexpected, although
it will be greatly lamented, his death be-
ing a loss to science and the world
Arago wa1 one Of the ablest and most
deserving of modern savans. He was
born in the Department Of the Eastern
Pyrenees, early in the year 1886, and
was consequently in his 6Sthy year. HE
genius was manifest in his boyhood; and
being sent to the Ecole Polytechniqus,
he became an instructor in that institu-
ton in his 18th year, and year later, in
1905 was appointed Secretary OF ths
Bureau des Longitudes. A short time
afterwards he was selected to accom-
pany the celebrated Blot, who was sent
to spain TO complete the admeasurement
of an arc Of the meridian, already sur
veyed from Dunkirk to Barcelona, and
intended TO be extended TO Formc nters,
one ofthe Balearic Islands. The duty
was performed-but the close Of his la
bors introduced Arago TO series Of ro-
mantle adventures very uncommon In
the life ofa man Of science.
War broke out between Spain aud
France-Arago was arrested as q spy,
robbed, wounded, and incarcerated IN .
dungeon, whence escaping In a boat TO
Algiers, he endured various hardships
there, followed by shipwreck. reduction
10 slavery, delyerance, capture by o
Spanish 2rivsteor, and a second visit to
Spanish prison. Returning AT length
to France in 1909, he had the honor OF
being Immediately elected member of
the Academy Of ofSciences, and was nom
mated by Napoleon 4 Professor In the
Ecole Polytechniquc. From that period
until the day Of his last illness he occu-
pied high place among scieHtific dis
coverers, his name being identified with
various achievements in astronomy and
the mathematical and physical sciences-
The Revolution Of 1880 brought him
into notice as q statesman and Legislator.

.xhat do Care for Right.n

Little Edward was the son of distin-
guished statesman, and his school-mate,
Henry, was the child of pious parents.
They were walking together from the
academy one day, when Edward asked
his companion to join him in mischiev-
Gus play. Henry Immediately said,
"that would not be right" Edward re-
piled impatiently, "Whdt do Icare for
right9" The boys grew up to YOUTH
We will pass ever several years of their
history, and tell you what became of
them.
Henry loved the Savior, and wished to
be minister. Before he could get
ready to preach, consumption began to
take his strength away. He went home
from school to die. His mother was
also dying with the same disease
Their rooms were not far apart, and so
they sent daily sweet messages to each
other about Christ and heaven. One
morning, Henry with smile "fell asleep
in Jesus" Soon as his father saw that
he was gone, he entered the room Of the
mother, who was waiting for her Re-
decmer. She inquired, "How is Hen
ry!" His father answered, ,"He is well ="
In few moments she was with him, we
doubt not, in paradise. 1t was touch
ing and beautiful scene, and many tears
were shed at the funeral although the
grave was bright with the hOpe Of heav-
en-. Such was the death Of boy who
loved to do right.
BUTT was not so with Edward. He
left home for the sea, and in early youth
became very wicked. He tried to kill
the captain Of the ship, that he and few
companions might turn pirates. His
plan was found out, and he was hung,
aud his body thrown into the ocean,
Does not the awful scene make you
think Of his words when child, "What
dol care for right"
The Bible says, "Even child is known
by his doings, whether his work be pure,
and whether il be right Think Of it,
and remember, us you live noD, il spared,
you will probably be when older, and
when you die.-Am. Mess.

died, his epitaph tells US, in Christian
hope. All. with him, when the roar OF
battle was hushed, and its mad excite
ment was over, there was time to reflect
there was time to read the words OF
lite-to come to the mercy-seat. But
what of those who 60 into eternity from
the stern, vindctive passion-tumult Of
the battle-hour, God alone can solve
some of the fearful problems written on
the blackboard of gloomy war!
Onward, spirit of Christianity' on
ward! The world needs thee much
Onward be thy fight. till "healing from
thy wings" is poured into every angry
heart-till thy voice is heard speaking to
the stormy deep of human passion,
ambition, and revenge, as erst was heard
the voice Of thy Author, "Peace be still"
and in the midst of the calm, may earth
gladly shout from all her hills, and
oceans, and glens, and cities, teeming
with life, THE NATIONS SHALL LEARN WAR
NO MORE!

TIE DEAD.
nv MRS. SARAH T. BOLTON.

Mournfully, mournfully toll for the dead
lie passed from our side In manhood's pride
Ere the glow Of his rainbow hopes had fed 1,
When his SHY was brigh, with meridian light
Death bore him away TO a dreamless night
Moumlully toll for the dead.
Silently, silently let him sleep on:
From the hurry and strife OF the battle Of life
A victor away TO his home has gone
Gone from the tears, the sorrows and fears
That come TO the heart on the tide OF years.
Silently let him sleep on.
Hopefully, hopefully lay him to rest, [hOurl
Where the dew. bright flow'rs In the long still
Will weep o'er the sod on his pulseless breast
Where the bresze will sigh as II wanders by,
And the starlight comes from It's home on higl
Hopefully lay him TO rest.
solemnly, solemnly bow and adorel
An angel Of light, on pathway bright,
Conducted his soul 10 the vlewless shore.
His dust from the gloom Of the silent tomb
Shall arise again Ia immortal bloom
Solemnly bow ana adore!

The Last Drink.


Dan Jones has vile, an ANIL
able, accomplished, AMI beautiful
lady, who loves him devotedly,
but she finds too many bricks in
his hat. One night he came
home tight, and was not very
much astonishcd, but rather
frightened, to find his worthy k-
dy sitting up for him. She al
ways does. She smiled when he
came in. That also she always
docs, You stay out so late,' she
said, that ! feared you had been
taken sick .Hic-ain't sick,
wife; b-but don't you think I'm
little tight "a very little,
perhaps, my dear, but that IS
no, hing you have so many friends
as you say, you must join them
in a glass once in a while WIFE.
you're too good-the truth is, !
am drunk. Oh no, indeed, my
dear-1' m sure that even anoth-
er glass wouldn't hurt you. Now
supp, Sc you take a glass Of
Scotch ale with me, just ms =
night-cap, my dear?' you are
too kind, my dear, by half; L
know I'm drunk oh, no, only
Il julep too much, love, that's all!s
well, take glass Of ale at any
rate; it cannot hurt you, dear; 1
want one myself before l retire.
The lady hastened to open a bot
tie, she put in one a very power
full emetic. Filling the glass with
the foaming ale, she handed that
one with a most bewitchiug smile
to her husband. Suspicion came
cloudily upon his mind. She had
never before been so kind to him
when he was so drunk. He look
ed at the glass, raised it to his
lips, then hesitated. 'Dear,woaTt
you just taste mine, to make it
sweeter?'saidhe. Certainly y,love,'
she was very careful not to swal-
low. Suspicion vanished, and so
did the ale, emetic, and all, down
the throat Of the satisfied hus-
band. After spittingout the taste,
the lady finished her glass, but
seemed in no hurry to retire.
She fixed a loot-tub of water be-
fore an easy chair, for which the
husband was curious 10 know the
reason. A few minutes later, the
gulp aud splurge of the husband
gave the an~wer. The brick was
gone when he rose from tho easy
chair, and he never after carried
one home to his wife.

MAssAcHUsETTs.-A most remarkable
document from the Democratic County
Committc of Essex Co., has just made
its appearance. 1t alludes to Cushing s
letter, which it says was made public
for the purpose of defeating the Demo-
Gratis of Massachusetts, declares that
their constitutional and personal rights
are as dear to them as those of the other
States of the Union, nor will they quietly
surrender them. That the edict OF
Cushing is shameless attempt TO vio-
late those principles which will not be
submitted to; and they denounce the
impudence that would so utterly subvert
the sacred principles of Democracy to
further the petty intrigue Of renegade
to his professed principles, his country
and his God. In conclusion they say
that they are up to the OCCASION; ask if
there is an autocrat among US, and urge
Democrats to vote for the friends OF
State Reform, and thus manifest their
utter contempt for demagogues and trait
ors.
