BY MoINA-REv. A. J. RYAN.
Out of the shadows of sadness,
Into the sunshine of gladness,
Into the light of the Blest-
Out of n land very dreary,
Out of the world very weary,
Into the rapture of Rest.
Out of to.day's sin and sorrow,
Into 4 blissful tomorrow,
Into day without gloom
Out of land filled with signing
Land of the dead and the dying
Into land without tomb.
Out of a life of commotion,
Tempest -swept oft as the ocean,
Dark with the wreck drifting DER
Into land calm and quiet
Never storm cometh nigh it
Never wreck on its shore.
Out of the land in whose bowers
Perish and fade all its flowers
Out of the land of decay
Into the Eden where fairest
Offlow'rets-and sweetest and rarest-
Never shall wither away.
Out of the world of the wailing,
Thronged with the anguished and ailing,
Out of the world of the sad
Into the world that rejoices-
World of bright visions and Voices
Into the world of the glad
Out of a life ever lornful,
Out of land very mournful,
Where in bleak exile we roam
Into joyland above us,
Where there's Father to love US
Into "Our Home-Sweet Home"

Editors.

An editors qualifications are various
It is to work harder, more hours in the
day, with less recreation, on less sleep
and poorer pay than any of your fellow
MORALS. 1t is to b. busy when your
neighbors are idle, buster when they sleep,
and busiest when they are enjoying a
good time. 1t is to be always in hurry,
always under press of business, always
"setting up" when others are lying down,
and always charitably distributing" the
results of our daily labor. 1t is to have
your opinions always put to "proof' and
seldom into practice. 1t is to advertise
other peoples wants, wishes and wares to
announce facilities for pleasure to herald
the approach Of diseases and the invention
of cures for them to make known who
has teen robbed, how much, where, who
is the robber, his personal history, bis
trial, sentence, and it's execution. Il is
to receive nice fruit and notice it, to be
shown natural curiosites and describe
them, to be everywhere at all times, aud
to be able to answer all questions on all
subjects 1t is to publish too much sen.
tinent for one, too much politics for
another, and too little news for all. 1t is
TO make dozen enemies to one friend
and to be pitched into by anybody who
chooses to consider himself aggrieved. 1t
is to take complimentary tickets and pay
for them in complimentary notices. 1t is
to be bored by friends suggesting how you
should carry on your business, and bullied
by those whom you have hit in vulnerable
spots. 1t is life of mingled good and
i'll, trial and triumph, never ending toll
and never beginning felicity, wherein
yov work out your allotted time with the
"devil" always at your elbow, calling for
sole end in this life-a little more copy.

PLANETS DESTROYED The belief that
this world is Ultimately to be destroyed
by FIRE is supported by the discovery that
such fate has befallen far larger planets
than ours. French astronomers assert
that no fewer than fifteen hundred fixed
stars have vanished from the armament
within the last three hundred years -
Tycho Brahe gives an interesting account
of brilliant star of the largest size which,
on account of its singular radiance, had
become the special object of his daily
observation for several months, during
which the star gradually became paler
until final DISAPPEARANCE. La Place states
that one of the vanished fixed stars on
the northern hemisphere afforded iDdubi.
table evidence of having been consumed
by fire. At first the star was of \ dazzling
white, next of a glowing red and
yellow luster, and finally it became pale
and ash colored. The burning of the star
lasted sixteen months, when this sunny
visitor, to which perhaps whole series
of planets may have owed allegianos,
finally departed and became invisible
forever.

Jurtes and breaches or Promise.

The English Solicitor General said IN
the House of Commons, upon the subject
Of juries and breaches Of Promise -
"When a tall and pretty lady was set
before them as having been de uded, there
was no holdi0g them in. He remembered
hearing an old gentleman, who had been
barrister in India, tell the story of a
Circassian slave who had murdered the
master If a harem there. This counsel
had 10 defend her. 1t was bad case,
but he saiG-'Put on her best dress, the
more transparent the better; set her op.

result Aud the result was exactly what
he predicted. She had stabbsd the nan,
but the jury pardoneI the crime for the
SAKE of the interesting woman they saw
before them. So in the case of an action
for breach of promise. A young and iu-
terestiug woman will yet damages; hut If a
man was ever so young and interesting
he got no damages. but had to paw heavy
costs and get secuted besides. Why it
happened oe could not say; but his exper-
fence in courts of justice was, that in &C.
tious for breaches Of promise of marriage
the women had it their own way and the
men had no chance. The lady was we'll

as they always did, it would be all over
with the men. The jury, to show their
chivalry, their admiration for the fair sex,
and their contempt for their own, would
Immediately return verdict for her."
