Let those who lift the pure draught to
their lips from the cool natural fountain,
the city hydrant. or the village pump,
bless Him who created the healthful
fluid and remember the fain.ing trav-
eler on the desert, be content. How
many blessings congregate, how many
exquisite forms, how many holy associ-
atoms in that one word-Water. The
preparation of our landscapes and the
baptismal font !
The clouds towering into snow mounds
piled one upon another in the evening
sky; the gloomy gathering of dark shad-
ows over the western horizon portending
storm and anon coming down in heavy
and continuous rain; the beautiful forts
work of winter, corruscating the water
fall into forests. and palaces glittering
with gems; the icicle hanging from our
caves the string of diamonds pendant
from the fairy finger that decorates the
edges of blade of summer grass-alI
praises of that creating fat that pre-
nounced all things to be very good. -

The History OF Hail Columbia

In the Summer of 1898, young man
connected with the theatre at Philadel-
phia as singer, was about to receive q
benefit on certain Monday evening. -
On the saturday afternoon previous he
called on Joseph Hopkins, a rising young
lawyer, twenty-eight years of age, with
whom he had gone to school when both
were boys. The actor said he had but
twenty boxes taken, and his benefit
would be loss unless he could get pa
triotic song written to the Presidents s
March, then popular air. Hopkins
promised to make the attempt. At that
time there was great discussion in tho
country as to the policy of America
joining either France or England in the
war then waged between those two ma
tions, and party spirit ran very high
Hopkins endeavored to write song that
would be independent of and above the
interests, passions and policy of both
belligerents, and look and feel exclu-
sively for American honor and rights
He wrote "Hail Columbia 7" Tt was
announced on Monday morning, and the
theatre wa. crowded to excess, and SO
continued during the season, the song
being encored and repeated many times
each night the audience joining in the
chorus. 1t was also sung at nights, in
the streets, by large assemblies of citi-
zens, including members of Congress,
and has now become q national song.

Is there Jealousy In Love?

Bill Williamson's wife took tea at m,
house last Thursday night. My wife
Emma, and she, are old acquaintance
In fact they wero girls together. Mrs
Williamson's baptismal name is Mar

Everything went off very pleasant a

Water.
ITS BEAUTIFYING POWER.

Water, an element necessary to tn,
sustenance Of animal and vegetable life
is beautiful in all its forms. The benef
icent Creator, in giving us boon SC
cheering and vivifying, has not only
made its use pleasurable, but has so va.
ried the mode in which it is presented
that not the palate alone, but the ear
the touch, are gratiied.
From the mountain spring that gushes
pure as air. beneath the overhauging
rock to the illimitable ocean from the
dew drops sprinkling on the roso, and
the globule of mercurial color resting
in tho hollow of cabbage leaf, to the
brilliant spray pouring over the summit
edge Of marble fountain, all is beauty,
all is grace, all has the inimitablo touch
of heavens finger upon it.
Every little meadow rivulet mirrors
its bending grass-aower by day, and its
glittering star by night. In tho long
sweep of an expansive river, the green
islets that seems to float upon its CLASSY
surface are pictured in wavy lines and
tender tints below. Pebbles enshrined
in running brook, to the admiring eyes
Of children glow like gems, and are
gathered by little hands and treasures
worthy of the cabinet of kings.
The sea-wavo beating with incessant
repetition on the hard, sandy shore of
the bay; the white bail floating swan >
like at distance, giving its softened re-
Election below its darkened shadow to
the expanse beneath; the sparkling star
like points playing together that a
morning sun in winter awakes into brill
liancy upon the breast of some neigh
borhood pool or lake, flashing in and out;
fainting. reviving, intermingling, DART
ing. quiyering. like living things in the
hcy-day Of enjoyment. illustrate the
beautifying power of water, and thus
magnify the handiwork of God.

Wonders.

This world of ours is filed with won
ders. The microscope reveals them not
less than the telescope, each at either
extreme of creation. In the insect Gre
alton, particularly, there is so much to
know that has never been dreamed Of
wheels within wheels without computa-
ton or number. Let us take a rapid
glance at tho proofs of this statement.
The polypus, it is said, like the fabled
hydra, receives new life from the knife
which is lifted to destroy it. The fly
spider lays an egg as large as ITSELF
There are four thousand and forty-one
muscles in the caterpillar. Hooke dis
covered fourteen thousand mirrors in
the eye of q drone; and to effect the
respiration Of carp, thirteen thousand
three hundred arteries, vessels, veins,
bones, ETC., are necessary. The body
of every spider contains four little mass
es pierced with multitude of imper-
ceptible holes. each hole permitting the
passage of q single thread. all the
threads, to the amount of thousand
to each mass, join together when they
como out, and make the single thread
with which the spider spins its web !;
SO that what We call spiders thread,
consists of more than four thousand u

than grain of sand, and which spun

SATURDAY NIGHT.

A DOMESTIC REvE RE.
Saturday night! Alone sit
In musing mood before the fire
A pleasant book the burner lit
What moro could studious man desire?
A moment since, my merry girls
Went bounding forth in childish gee-
Those laughing eyes, those roguish curls-
Oh, they are worth the world to me
They climbed and clamored for the kiss
The goodnight kiss that all must share,
The signet seal of household bliss,
Before the whispered, evening prayer
Crho NOW lay me down to sleepy
So softly and so meekly said. .ss
May angel, guardian watches keep ..
Around my darlings' peaceful bed.
Life, with my pets, is sunny morn
For them each day new glories glow
For them new buds of bliss are born,
Blue skies, for them, arch all below;
They wake with gladness in their eyes
They feel no care--they know no ill
Each morning brings some sweet surprise,
Which dreams at night, make sweeter still
My prayers are with them while they sleep
My prayers go with them when they
wake
They are the jewels which keep
And cherish for my Mary's sake
Yes, doubly dear they seem to me,
Now, motherless in tender years, ....
And thoughts Of their futurity
Bring sometimes smiles and sometime.

Nor less beloved the form that stood,
In pcnsve silence, near my chair,
Just blushing into womanhood,
My eldest daughter, grave and fair;
Her wave of life with softest glide
Was sunlit, till one. cloud of woe, .
With spreading margin, far and wide,
O'ershadowed all that lay below. s-E
