The Fruits Of Jealousy.

The Albany Standard states that few
evenings since man named Phillips, on
returning to his residence in that city,
saw through the window OF his house a
man in the embrace of his wife, fondIy
caressihg and kissing her. He looked
and looked again to make sure that what
he saw was no delusion, but reality. Still
did his wife and the man continue their
EXPIRE sions Of delight and qualification
towards each other. The brain of Phil
lips became maddened at the sight. He
rushed to the wood shed. and arming
himself with an axe sailed into the room
where the pair were. Without stopping
to look, think or speak, he made an on.

The poor woman undertook to save the
man. This step exasperated Phillips,
who turued upon her, and did that which
be never had occasion to do before
abuse and maltreat her. While he was
doing this, the young stranger saw the
door open, picked himself up and made
off. and that is the last that has been seen
of him. After going on terribly for five
or ten minutes, Phillips sat down and
wept like child. His wife still lay on
the Roor in helpless condition. He
raised her up, and endeayored to soothe
her pains. As soon as she had recovered

had SO attacked and abused was his long

The wife was so badly injured by the as

pelirous state, and her friends have been
obliged to send her to the Asylum as she
is fast becoming insane.

Salvation by Wholesale.

At the convent of St. Laurent, about
a mile out of Rome, there is a privileged
altar,-that is to say every mass said at
this altar has the privilege Of drawing
one soul completely out Of purgatory =
1t consequently enjoys great reputation,
and is much sought after by the faithful.
One day the abbot found his convent
5000 masses in arrears-that is, he had
received payment for 5000 masses at a
crown each, which bad not been said.
He repaired to bis holiness Gregory
XVI, and begged him, since he was ON.
nipotent, to grant him that single mass
should draw the whole 5000 souls out
of pupgatory. Tie Pope considered
awhile then wrote rcscript to the de-
sired effect. The abbot embraced the
feet OF the holy father, expressed his
gratitude, and was about to retire, when
Gregory XVI. called him back, saying
:" A mass of 5000 crowns such mass is
fit fop pope: I will say it myself = AID
in verify the following morning. he re
paired to the convent Of St. Laurent, per-
turned the mass. and the abbot had to
hand him over the 5000 piastres,- equal
to about $4,000.

The Discoveries at Port Royal.

In addition to the information already
given of the discoveries at Port Royal
overthrow by the great earthquake of
1892, we present more matter respecting
the condition of that place at The time of
its destruction. At the time of the earth
quake. Port Royal was the headquarters
OF the buccaneers, who nsed to fit out ex
petitions against the Spanish American
colonies, and return to their place of
refuge, laden With the rich spoils of Porto
Bello, Vera Cruz, and other places, even
of the city of Panama.
On the 7th of June, 1892, the day was
oppressively hot, when suddenly roar
was heard from the distant mountains,
and in few seconds the very spot which
was piled with the glittering treasures of
Peru and Mexico. stood i've fathoms
deep in water, and the whole Of tie i'll
gotten wealth was submerged.
So enormous was the treasure that it
is said warehouse room could not be
obtained for large portion of the gold
and silver. Three thousand persons per-
ished in this awful catastrophe, and all
the public rccords-for Port Royal was
then the seat of government-were for
ever lost. A frigate called the Swan
was in the harbor, and literally foated
over the tops of the snnken houses. Sew
eral persons were rescued by. her. The
escape of one man reads like miracle.
His name was Louis Gladly, aud he was
a native of Montpelier, in France. He
was swallowed up in the earth by shock,
but vas cast up again by the next shock.
He found refuge on board the Swan, and
lived for twenty years after. Since that
period, what remains Of Port Royal has
been several times nearly destroyed by
fire, food and hurricane, as if the spot
were accursed. 1t is now little better
than fishing village, though it is still
the principal rendezvous of the West In
dia squadron, and boasts Of an extensive
dockyard and arsenal.

Powerful Whirlwind.

struck upon the land at point near the
western extremity of the Archipelago
and passed along the southeast, unroof
ing houses and uprooting hinge trees in
its course. 1t is not little remarkable
that the diameter of this tornado could
not have exceeded thirty yards, for there
are houses within that space Of the dam

How a Toad Pulls off His Pants.

A writer in the North Carolina Far.
mer tells as the following
"About the middle Of July. / found a
toad on hill Of melons, and not want.
ing him to leave hoed around him. He
appeared SO singular. that watched to
see what he was up to. After few
smart fubs. his skin began to burst open
straight along his back. Now, said |.
old fellow, you have done it; but he ap.
peared to be unconcerned. and kept on
rubbing until he had worked down all his
skin into folds on his sides and hips: then
graspiug one hind leg with his hands, he
hauled off one leg of his pants the same
as any body would, then stripped the
other leg the same way. He then took
his castof cnticle forward, between Chi.
forelegs into his mouth aud swallowed it:
then, by raising and lowering his head,
swallowing as his head came down, he
stripped off the skin underneath until it
came to his forelegs, and then grasping
one of these with the opposite hand, BY
considerable pulling stripped of the skin;
changing hands, he stripped the other,
AID by a slight motion of the head he
drew it from the throat aud swallowed
the whole. The operation seemed to be
an agreeable one, and occupied but a
short time

A PARABLE.

A certain tyrant sent for one of his
subjects and said to him:
" What is your employment"
" A chain-maker." he replied.
e. Go home,' said he " and make me
chain of such a length
He went home; it occupied him sew.
eral months and be had no wages all the
while he was making the chain, only the
trouble and pain of making it. Then he
brought it to the monarch, and he said {:
go and make it twice as long"
He gave him nothing to do it with but
sent him away.
Again he worked ON and made it twice
as long. He brought it up again, and
the monarch said /:
: Go and make it still longer"
Each time he brought it, there was
nothing but the command to make it
longer still. And when he brought it up
at last, the monarch said
flake it and bind@him hand and foot
with it aud cast him into a furnace of
fire."
These were his wages for making the
chain. Here is meditation for You to
