profess to ba Of snbtelraneaa origin
FORMERLY they were shut cut from the
light Of heaven, and lweIt together near a
suhterranean lake a stray grape vine
from the upper earth extended its roots
into their dark region, and by means of
this, one half the tribe climbed up to the
surface and we're delighted With with the
new world, its fruits and game. But un-
fortunately for the residue, fat woman
attempted 10 climb up, the vine broke,
and the balance Of the tribe were forced to
remain below. Therefore, was it written

Farewell, We fond friends of pas. years
Sad changes have caused US t. part;
Remembrance now me|ts me o tears,
And anguish is bursting my heart;
Ny liIe's promised pleasures are gone as a
dream,
My friends, once beloved, passed away like
yon stream.
The breezes are filed with my signs,
Alone by a river | weep;
Ny tears fall ia floods from my eyes,
And pass down the stream to the deep

tomb,
As rivers are lost in the ocean, their home
All! sweet gliding river, flow on!
Thy murmGrs invite me TO mourn;
Sad emblem OF friends who are gone,
Like waters no more to return:
Thus vanish thy bubbles, thy foam, and
thy waves
Like friends, who have left me, or rest in
their graves.
Oh, stream full Of fountains and cold !
Thy beauty is soon with sigh,
For youth here their merrment hold,
And battle till they sicken and die;
Their source of DELI ut and diversion to-

Tomorrow may watt their young spirits

A New ARTICLE FOR FooT WEAR.-At
the last meeting of the French Academy of Sci
ences, DR.. Jules Cloquet produced pair of
boots made of the tanned skin of boa con-
strictor. This material is remarkably strong
and supple; the scales have preserved their
natural imbrication and color after the process
of tanning, aud the inside of the scales in al
ternate reliefs aud depressions. DR.. Cloquet
observed that it would be desirable to make
further attempts to introduce the skins of the
inferior vertebra into trade, seeing that, as to
thickness and durability, they decidedly offer
greater advantages than those of the superior
classes.

The LAST Book BURNED-The last notice
able instance of book burning by authority, in
England, occurred in 1923. The celebrated
physician, DR.. Mead, purchased from the Ii
brary Of the Landsgrave of Hesse, copy OF
the " Chrstiansme Resttutio," of Servetus,
the publication of which cost the author bis
life. This particular copy was reputed to have
belonged to Collodon, one of his accusers.-
The doctor determined to reprint the Inflated
work in quarto, but before the edition was
completed, the sheets were seized, at the in
stance of DR.. Gibson, Bishop of London, and
the impression burned, May 27, 1923. A few
copies escaped destruction, one of which may
be seen in the library OF the Medical Society
Of London. In ITO, perfect reprint was
issued, but only four copies are known TO be in
existence. The original copy passed from Dr.
Mead into the hands of the Due de la Valliere,
at the sale of whose collection it was purchase 1
for the Imperial Library of France at the price
of 3,910 ivres.

+" Husband, Hurry Home. u

The hearth is swept-the fire is bright,
The kettle sings for tea;
The cloth is spread, the lamp is light,
The mullins smoke in knapkins white,
And now / wait for thee.
Come home, love, come; thy task is done;
The clock ticks listeningly;
The blinds are shut, the curtain down,
The arm chair to the fireside drawn,
The boy is on my knee.
Come home, love, come; his deep fond eye
Looks round him wistfully;
And when the whispering winds go by,
As if thy welcome steps were nigh,
He crows exultingly.
In vain-he finds the welcome vain,
And turns his glance on mine
So earnestly, that yet again,
His form unto my heart l strain,
That glance is so like thine.
Thy task is done-we miss thee here,
Where'er thy footsteps roam,
No hearth will spread such kindly cheer,
No beating heart, no list ening ear,
Like those that wait thee home.
All, now along the cross walk fast,
The well known step doth come;
The bolt Is drawn, the gate is past,
The boy is wild with joy at last
A thousand welcomes home

The Sunbeam in the Church.

1t sweetly stole through tinted pane
With mild and mellow light,
And staid within the sacred fame,
As though it loved the sight.
1t played on childhoods cloudless brow,
In warm and rosy rays,
And gave fhe mothers palld cheek
The bloom of other days.
1t touched the old mans silver head,
With amber's softest hue,
And fondly DER the hallowed font
peaceful rainbow threw
1t DER the sacred altar hung,
And crowned the priest with gold,
royal robe the surpce seemed,
And fell in purple fold
More bright than Aaron's breastplate glowed
The holy Book of God,
And gems bcstresed the very floor,
Whereon the people trod.
Fen thus the Spirits living light
Will all our lives surround,
And we that heavenly gift may seek
Within the churchs bound.
Then come, by font and altar come,
With faith and words of love,
And darkest days shall brightly beam
With radiance from above.

A SHIRITUALIsT's s SHAM EXPOSED. - Mr..
$, prominent banker of St. Johns,
somewhat skeptieal on the subject Of spiritual
ism, prevailed upon a female "test medium 10
give an entertainment at his residence One
of the miraculous" performances was to cause
the spirits TO beat upon a drum suspended from
the ceiling about six feet from the floor The
medium sat upon the floor directly under the
drum, two stout men sitting upon her dress to
prevent her from ascending The drumstcks
were laid upon the floor in a remote corner of
the room, and everything being in readiness,
the lights were eXtinguished, when, sure enough
a violent beating was commenced upon the
drum, and but for the curiosity of certain de-
signing persons, the "test" would have been
unauswerable. AT this period of the perform
ance the door was burst open and light was
quickly thrust into the room, and surprising as
it may appear, the medium was standing upon
her feet and beating the drum at furious rate.

family believing his children to have been sadly

would be to chastise the head of the other
