a feeling of indiscribable gratitude, mingled
with fear, and fastened eastward over the
plain. They were not yet beyond the reach of
the Etnean surges and therefore pushed along
with eager speed till they reached the point
where the lava-streams must soon have made
their confluence. They dashed through the
gap-they ascended the rocks on the side of
Catania, and soon they stood on the high ter
race before the city walls, from whence they
beheld Etna vomiting forth in smoke and

THE STARS AND THE FLOWERS

When Eve had led her lord away,
And Cain had killed his brother,
The stars and flowers. the poets say,
Agreed with one another,
To cheat the cunning tempter's art
And teach the race its duty,
By keeping on its wicked heart
Their eyes of light and beauty.
A million sleepless lids, they say,
viii be at least warning;
And so the flowers would watch by day,
The stars from eve to morning.
On hill and prairie, field and lawn,
Their dewy eyes upturning,
The flowers still watch from red ming dawn
Till western skies are burning.
Alas! each hour of daylight tells
A tale of shame so crushing
That some turn white as sea -bleached shells
And some are always blushing.
But when the patient stars look down
On all their light discovers
The traitor 5 smile, the murdcrer's frown,
The lips of lying lovers
They try TO shut their saddening eyes.
And in the vain endeavor,
We see them twinkling in the skies,
And so they wink forever.

sfTHE FEARFUL JUDGMENT. T.''-TheHollidays
burg Standard has information on the subject
of the man sitting on chair for blasphemy,
which throws some light upon the origin OF
the story. 1t is said that man in Union conn
ty. and not at Mt. Union, while winnowing
grain, became exasperated on discovering
that the weevil had destroyed portion of his
grain-that he INDUCED in some tall swearing
went into the house and sat down, and the
excitement brought on severe attack of ap-
oplexy, from which he ultimately recovered.
This was the basis of the wonderful story of a
fearful Judgment of Providence, which has
been extensively circulated in the newspapers
during the last few months

THE ONLY MEDAL AWARDED
Worcestershire Sauc.

AAEA OANE2A
BY the New York Exhibition to the English or foreign
Sauce Manufacturer has been obtained, amongst numer-
Gus competitors, by E & PERKINS, for their
worcestershire sauce,
whereby further testimony Is afforded OF lis being the
best Sauce extant.
The celebrity Of this Sauce has extended 70 every quar-
ter Of the globe, and its efficacy in promoting the general
health is becoming daily more bserveds and acknowledged.
In the United States il Is held TO be the most agreeable
condiment, and is esteemed for its tonic and ~invigora-
ting properties, its habltual use enabling the stomach to
digest the food.
On the Continent OF Europe, these qualities have been
testified to by a gentleman, who writes to LEA & PER-
RIMS thus: al have carried a bottle Of your WOrces-
tershtre Sauce in a tour / have just completed through
Spain and Portugal, and believe I owe my present state Of
health TO its use; your Sauce is stomschic, and l think
medicinal. I can with truth say there Is nothing in q
rsveler'sbaggag so essential 10 his comfort, al least in
these countries, as ysuT Sauce"
In India, also, where It is found At the mess OF every
regiment, q medical gentleman writes from Madras TO
his brother in the same profession At Worcester, in the
following terms: Tell LEA & PERKINS that their
Sauce is highly approved in India, and that 1t is, in my
opinion, the most ~palatable as well as the most whole
ssme Sauce made"
This Sauce is suitable for every variety Of dish. and the
universal demand which its excellence has created has
led to many limitations being offered TO the public, under
a variety Of names, but the genuine may be known by
the names Of "LEA being impressed upon
the patent metallic capsules, or patent glass stopper Of
the bottle, as well as the labels and wrapper.
