penSe, demanded his natural daughter, lie
lena, in marriage. The prince, who enter,
ta'ned equal respect for them both, could

delay, he told them, that from the claim
they both llal to his attention and regard,
he could not give his assent for either to
marry his daughter, and they might decide
1t 10y their own power and address but, as
he did not wish to risk the loss of either,
or both, by suffering them to fight with Of

the rope to advance a few PAGES, taking
with him the horses foot, when, as a mat.

POE IR Z o
GONE ASTRAY.

How coltlly falls upon the heart
The words "hc's gone astray"
From those who shared with him the JOY
or fortunes brighter day.
'Tis human for the soul to err,
Bcguiled by visions fair;
Then crush it not with words of scorn,
Nor drive it to despair.
When somo frail son Of earth shall pass
Beneath misfortune's cloud,
BE thou n light TO gild the gloom
or errors sable shroud.
Pcrchance if you desert him now,
Because he's gone nstray,
No other friend may fling u smile
or sunshine Ger his way.
There's many heart that strays ufar
From virtues beaten track,
Which. like the do:c unto the ark,
Will ere long wander back
One gentle word Of kind rcbukc,
May call the roamcr home;
No more i'll paths Of vice and shame,
His wuywurd feet may roam.
But, oh, one harsh, ill-spokcn word,
May chill the crring soul,
And drive the victim far beyond
The limits of control.
To see the friends Of happier days
In coldncss turn away,
OFT proves the bane that mndly drives
The sin-sick soul astray.
When YOU uphraid the fnul,s of youth,
Let not Your words be cold;
For chilling tones, like melted lead,
Soon harden in the mould.
But speak in accents soft and kind,
The waywar,l to reclaim;
And thus you'll dry the turbid stream
From whence his errors came.
Wipe of tho pcnitcnrni tear
That glist-ns on his check
And bid him turn to virtues paths,
And there forgiveness seek.
Upon his conscience, sick with sin,
The balm Of comfort pour;
And, like the Suvionr Of mankind,
Bid him ego. and sin no more"

advantages Of Bathing.-It is fact
officially recorded, that during the terrible
visitations Of cholera in France, out Of near-
Iy 1928 subscribers to the public baths of
Paris, Bordeaux. and MarseiIles, only two
deaths amcng them were ascribed to chol-
era. We doubt whether there exists a
more effectual preventive of disease of every
kind, and greater promoter of good health
at all times, than the practice of daily
bathing.

Afilk Puint-A paint has been used on
the continent Of Europe, with success,
made from milk and lime, that dries quick
er than paint, and has no smell. 1t is thus
made. Take fresh curds, and Lruisc tic
Jumps on grinding stone, or in an earth
Ell pan or mortar, to make it jus: thick
enough to he kneaded. Stir this mixture
without adding more water, and a white
colored fluid will soon lie obtained, which
will serve rs paint. 1t may he laid on with
brush with as much case as varnisIi, and
it dries very speedily. 1t must, however,
be used the samc day il is made, for if kept
till next day it will be too thick; conse-
quent!y no more must be made at one time
than can be laid on in day. Any color,
red or yellow ochre, may be mixed with it
in any proportion. Prussian blue is
changed by the lime. Two coats of this
paint is sufficient, and when dry, it may he
polished with piece of wooden cloth, or
similar substance, and it will become bright
as varnish. 1t is only for inside work; hut
it will last very long if vanished over with
the white Of an egg after it has been pol

Power of the Noon at Niyht.-Mr.
Crane, i'll his Letters from the East" has
observed: "Thc effect Of the moonlight
on l"e eyes in this country, Egypt,) is sin
gnlarly injurious. The natives tell you, rs
| afterwards found they did in Arabia, to
always cover your eyes when YOU sleep in
the open air. 1t is rather strange that the
passage in the Psalms The sun shall not
s'nite thee by day, nor the moon by night
should not have been thus Illustrated, as
the allusion seems direct. The moon here
really strikes and affects the sight, when you
sleep exposed to it, much more than the
sun; fact of which 1 had very unpleas-
ant proof one night, and took care to guard
against afterwards. Indeed, the sight of a
person who should sleep with his face ex-
posed at night would soon he impaired or
utterly destroyed. Crayon.
