CAUSE OF THANKFULNEss.-Am minister
was once speaking TO brother clergyman,
of his gratitude for merciful deliverance
he had just experienced.
GAS was riding here to-day" said he,
"my horse stumbled and came very near
throwing me from a bridge. where the fall
would have killed me, but escaped un-
hurt"
81 can tell you something more than
that" said the other. Gas rode here to-
day, my horse did not stumble at all"
We are too apt to forget common mercies.

command consideration. We sport, and
toy aud laugh with men and women who
have Ione but we never confide in them.

POETRY. .
Imaginary Evils.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

Let tomorrow take care Of to morrow;
Leave things Of the future to fate;
What's the use to anticipate sorrow,
Life's troubles come never too late!
If to hope over-much be an error,
'Tis one that the wise have preferred;
And how often have hearts been In terror
Ofevils that never occurred!
Have faith-aud thy faith shall sustain thee
Permit not suspicion aud care,
With invisible bonds TO enchain thee,
But bear what God gives thee to bear.
By His spirit supported aud gladdened'
Be meier by "f0rsbodingS" deferred
But thiuk how oft hearts have been Saddehe'
By fear of what never occurred!
Let TO morrow take care Of to morrow;
Short and dark As our life may appear;
We may make it still darker by sorrow--
Still shorter by folly and fear!
Half our troubles are half our Inventions
And often from blessings conferred.
Have we shrunk in the wild apprehension,
Of evils that rever occurred!

Come Haste Thee Home.

Cone. haste thee home, the lamp is trimmed,
An anxious heart is throbbing there:
And scft the eyes with teardrops brlmmed,
Are gazing on thy empty chair.
Oh, haste thee home where tende; smiles
Shall chase that car, lo)k from thy brow;
While love and JOY the time begulleS,
Which passes there 50 lonely now
The fire burns brightly on the hearth,
The bucket drips its monotone,
And lips which love thee best on earth,
Wait there to bid thee welcome home.
Whils red the flickeriug fire flames glow,
The watcher notes her shadow tall,
And wait the absent one to throw
One more beside it on the wall.
She watches by the cottage door;
She hngers BY the garden gate,
Aad speaks thy dear name o'er and o'er,
Like some lone bird that woos its mate.
Then haste thee home, the lamp is trimmed,
An anxious heart is throbbng there.
And tender ewes with tear-drops brimmed.
Are gazing on thy empty chair.

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF ABSTINENCE

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF ABSTINENCE
FROM FooD AND DRTNK.-H. Doesburg,
Esq, editor Of the Holander, paper pub
lished in the Dutch language, in the Hol-
land Colony, in Western Michigan, COM
municates to The Tribune an interesting
item which he culed from one of his Meth.
erlandish exchanges, of one Engelte Van
der Vlies, female at Pijnacker, near Rot
terdam, aged 66 years, who has not eaten
in IS nor drank in 81 years. She is now
in her last decline. Professors and doctors
and numerous scientific men from all parts
of the world, 60 to see her. The Board of
Health, of the Hague, instituted inquiries
into the matter as far back as 1926. No
medical man has yet asceltaned the true
condition of that wonderful lady. She lives
in good humor, and suffers with Christian
love and faith, her lot and condition. This
is certainly remarkable phenomena in the
history of humanity. and is an important
news item for the whole world, as there is
no instance of such long abstinence among
mankind.

Napier and the Indian swordsman


We give an anecdote Illustrative TO the
unparalleled dexterity of the Indians with
the sword, as well as of Napier's simplicity
of character. After the Indian battles, on
ore occasion famous juggler visited the
camp, and performed his feats before the
General, his family and staff. Among 9TH
er performances, !hIs man cut in two with
a stroke of his sword lime or lemon plac-
ed in the hand of his assistant Napier
thought there was some collusion between
the juggler and his retainer. To divide by
sweep of the sword on mans hand so
small an object without touching the flesh
he believed TO be impossible, though sim
liar incident is related by Scott in his ro-
nance of the Talisman.
To determine the point, the General Of
fered his own hand for the experiment, and
he stretched out his right arm. The Jug
gler looked attentvely at the hand, a7d
said he would not make the trial. 81 tho't
l would find you outl !" exclaimed Napier.
"But STOP" added the other, ''let me see
your left hand" The left hand was sub
mitted, and the man then said firmly, "If
you will hold your arm steady will per-
form the feat" "But why the left hand
and not the right'" Because the right
hand is hollow in the centre, and there is
risk of cutting off the thumb; the left is
high and danger will be less"
Napier was startled. "Igot frightened, "
he said 81 saw it was an actual feat Of
delicate swordmanshlp, and if had not a.
bused the man as did before my staff, and
challenged him to the trial, l honestly &C
knowledge I would have retired from the
encounter. However, | put the lime on my
hand, and held out my arm steadily. The
juggler balanced himself and with stroke
cut the lime in two pieces. felt the edge
of the sword on my hand as if cold thread
had been drawn across it : and SO much
(he added) for the brave swordsmen of In
d,a, whom our fine fellows defeated at Nee.
anee." This anecdote is certainly proof
Of the sincerity Of an honest mind, ready tc
acknowledge error, and of bravery and
calmness in eXpatiatIng that error.

Two GREAT DlscovERIEs-We are
told that two important discoveries have
recently been made in the manufacture
of oil and the production of light. The
oil is obtained with singular economy
and abundance by an improved process
in the distllation of coal; while, with a
like degree of economy and abundance,
henzole, which is also one of the pro-
ducts in the distillation of coal, is, by an
improved apparatus, converted into gas
for illumination.
