The sun that tips the hills with gold
Falls gently on the finest flower
Or, fitting from the eagles nest
Shines gaiIy through each leafy bower
The king upon his royal throne
The pIodder in his humble trade
Still can but share aud share alike.
In the warm sunlight God has made,
The Iipht that shines within the soul.
From the eternal world above.
Like dewy sweetness from the rose'
Exbales the essence of Ills Love;
To high or low, to every class,
Is ever offered freely given;
And all may ever live within
The radiance of tue sun of Heaven.

MIAsMA DIR. McCosh, a surgeon of
much repute in India, has published some
interesting statements in regard to the
characteristics Of malaria. The state of
sleeping or waking, he says, materially
affects the disposition to miasmata. A
person may be exposed, when awake, to
miasma, and not suffer, but is much more
predisposed to an attack if he is exposed 20
it asleep. Hence the danger of sleeping in
a marsh; nevertheless, it is found that a man
may even sleep in marsh with less harm,
if he take the precaution of tying gauze
veil over his face. Miasma is capable of
being dissirated by heat. A moist atmos-
phere is more favorable for its action than
a dry one, snd therefore a person may sleep
in marsh with comparative IMMUNITY, if he
sleep beside watch fire. Miasma loses its
property of producing fever in its progress
on the wind.
