of the disputed theft.
"You stole Mr.. Jones' turkeys" said
tie master.
"No, didn't massa," responded Dick
The master persisted.

A Valley Of Death in Java.

The destructive agency of carboni
| acid gas on animal life is we'll exempli-
fled in certain places where large guam
titles are evolved from the earth. Th,
most striking instance, however, is tn,
celebrated valley of Java, which, if any
animal enters, he never leaves. The fol
lowing interesting account is given by ar
eye witness:
We took with us two dogs and some
fowls TO try experiments in this poison
Gus hollow. On arriving at the foot Of
the mountain we dsmounted and scram-
bled up the side, about a quarter of a
miie, holding an by the branches of trees.
When within few yards of the valley,
we experienced strong, nauseous, suffo.
eating smell, but on coming close TO its
edge this disagreeable odor left us. The
valley appeared to be about half mile
in circumference, oval, and the depth
from thirty to thirty five feet the bottom
quite fiat; no vegetation strewed with
some very large (apparently) river stones,
and the whole covered with skeletons of
human beings, tigers, pigs. deer, pea
cocks, and all sorts of birds. We could
not perceive any vapor or any opening
in the ground, which last appeared TO us
to be of a hard sandy substance. 1t was
now proposed by one of the party to en-.
ter the valley. but at the spot where this
was difficult, at least for me, as one false
step would have brought us to eternity,
seeing no assistance could be given. We
lighted our cigars, and with the assist
ance of bamboo, we went down within
eighteen feet of the bottom. Here we
dId not experience any difficulty in
breathing, but an offensive nauseous
smell annoyed us. We now fastened a
dog to the end Of bamboo eighteen feet
long, and sent him in. We had our
watches in our hands, and in fourteen
seconds be fell on his back, did not move
his limbs or look round, but continued to
breathe eighteen minutes. We then sent
in another, or rather he got loose and
walked in to where the other dog was
lying. He then stood quite still, and 10
ten minutes fell on his face, and never
afterwards moved bis limbs he contin-
ued to breathe seven minutes. We now
tried fowl, which died in minute aud
half. We threw in another, which
died before touching the ground. Du-
ring these experiments we experienced
heavy shower of rain I; but we were so
interested by the awful sight before us
that we did not care for getting wet. On
the opposite side, near a large stone, was
the skeleton of human being, who must
have perished on bis back, with his right
hand under his head. From being ex-
posed to the weather, the bones were
bleached as white as ivory. I was anx.
ious to procure this skeleton, but an at
tempt to get it would have been mad
ness.

Our ONLY HoPE.-Turn whichever
way the earnest spirit will, to the weak
world without, or the weaker world with.
in, its only peace is the High Priest that
can be touched with the feeling of its in>
firmities--its rest is in the remission Of
sins by the offerings of Him who bears
the stripes of our iniquities and forgiYes
them its only glorying is in Jesus.
Let the thought of crucified Christ,
be never out of your mind. Let it be
your consolation, your meditation, your
life, death, and resurrection.
dare not choose my lot,
/ would not if must;
But choose thou for me, o my God,
So shall walk Alright
The kingdom that seek
Is thine so let the way
That leads to it, o, Lord, be thine,
Else / must surely stray.
Those graces of holiness have the most
evident and legble characters Of love
upon them which are most effectual in
working US into conformity TO Christ.
OF this sort are meekness, contempt Of
the world, readiness to pass by wrongs,
to forgive enemies, to love and to do good
unto all.

The Widowed.

She sits alone in her silent home,
Mid dark and wintry showersj
Those welcome feet no more doth come
To glad her weary hours.
She looketh for the form so loved,
And thinks his voice to hear,
That oft her heart with rapture moved
And checked its starting tear.
Away from home and scenes most dear,
Her trust to him she gave;
Calm, happy bride-she knew no fear,
Nor thought Of his silent grave.
Three short and happy years have fled,
And all her hopes seem gone;
He sleepeth in his narrow bed,
She meets life's cares alone.
She saw him gently pass away
In peace and sweet delight;
o, could she ask to have him stay
And grope in earth's dim light.
No rather joy--that he is safe
On yonder shining shore )"
Soothe, then, your deep and lonely grief
He has rest-forever more.

in abusing them, sorrow in losing them,
and burden of account at last to be

ToUcHrNa INCIDENT OF THE WAR

TOUCHING INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
After the battle at Bean Station, East
Tennessee, the rebels were guilty Of all
manner of indgnity toward the slain.
They stripped their bodies and shot all
persons who came near the battlefield to
show any attention to the dead. The
body of little drummer boy left naked
and exposed. Near by, in humble
house, there xere two little girls, the eld-
est but sixteen, who resolved to give the
body decent burial. They took the
night for their task. With hammer and
nails in hand, and boards on their should
ers, they sought the place where the
body of the dead d m m e boy lay.
ErnH their own scanty wardrobe, they
clothed the body for the grave. With
their own hands, they made rude coffin,
into which they reverently put the dead
boy. They dug the grave, and lowered
the body into 1t and covered II over. Inc
noise of the hammering brought some of
the rebels to the spot. The sight was TO
much for them. The stiffness of the
night-tbe story SO eloquenlly told by
the heroic labors, no one interfered, and
when the sacred rites of burial were per-
formed, all separated, and the little drum
mer boy sleeps undisturbed in his grave
on the battlefield Such tenderness and
herosm deserves to run along the line OF
coming generations with the story OF
the woman who broke the alabaster box
on the feet Of the Saviour, and with her
who put her two mites into the treasury.
