Concerning the Pulse.

Every intelligent person owes it to
himselftO learn from his family ply
sieian now 20 ascertain the pulse in
health; then by comparing it with
what it is when ailing, he may have
some idea of the urgency of his own
case, and it will be an important guide
to the physician. Parents ought to
know the healthy pulse of each child;
as now and then a person is born with
a peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and the
very case in hand may be that peeu1
liarity. An infants pulse is 1S0, q
child of seven about so and from TWEEN
ty to sixty years it is 20 beats in 8
minute, declining to so at four score.
There are pulses all over the body
but where there is only skin and bone
as at the temples, it is more easily feltd
the wrist is the most convenient point
The feebleness or strength of the beat
is not material, being modified by thel
fingers pressure. Comparative rapid \
ity is the great point; near death it is
40 and over. A healthy pulse 'im-
parts to the finger a feeling of q wool
en- string in a fever it feels harden
like silk thread; if there is infiam-
nation, which is always dangerous, id
beats fast, spiteful and hard, as if q
fine wire was throbbing against the
finger. When the pulse beats irregu1
lar, as if it lost beat, then hurries tOl
make it up, there is something theI
matter with the heart. But do nod
worry about it; take nothing, do moth
ing except by the advice of an intelli-
gent physician.

would be safest for them to stand
still, climb up in the rigging, or Jump

himselfwith a revolver and climbed on
the stern of the boat. Indeed, every
and find myself shot by some of the
brave ones behind me. The second
mate, who was the only real man
among them all, seized a large sheath
knife and climbed into the boat to
help me. 1 knew it would not do to
attempt to strike the monster with q
knife where he had room enough to
defend himself; I therefore threw il
down and seized a short haudspike of
iron-wood, the only weapon within
my reach, and told the second mate
to raise the deck, and would attempt
to finish my antagonist with the club,
for the thought of escaping while /
could and leaving for others to do
what belonged to me, never entered
my mind. As the deck rose, / beheld
him eOiled up about two feet and q
half from my right foot. Suffering
the acutest agony from the deep
wound had already given him, he
raised his head high out of the midst
of his huge coil, his red Jaws wide
open, and his eyes flashing fire like
live Goals. 1 felt the blood chill in
my veins as, for an instant, we glanc-
ed into each others eyes, and both
/ instinctively realized that one of us
I two must die on the spot. He darted
at my foot, hoping to fasten his fangs
/ in my canvas shoe, but / was too
/ quick for him, and gave him such q
| blow over the head and neck that he
was glad to coil up again. This gave
me time to prepare to deal him anOth-
er blow, and thus for about fifteen
minutes I continued TO strike with
all my might, and three or four times
his Jaws came within two or three
inches of my canvas shoe. / began
now to feel my strength failing, and
thought I could not tholdOutmuehl long
er, yet in that moment, fortunately,
the carpenter got his wits together,
and thought of his broadaX, and
bringing it to the side of the boat,
held up the handle, so that / could
seize it while the reptile was eOiling
up from the last stunning blow. The
next time he darted at me gave him
a heavy cut, about fifteen inches
behind his head, severing the body
completely of, except about an inch
on the under side, and as he eOiled
up, this part fell over, and he fastened
his teeth into his own coils. One
cut more, and I seized a rope, and, in
an instant, 1 tugged him over the
boats side, across the deck, and over
the ships rail into the sea. The long
trail of his blood on the deck assured
me that I was indeed safe, and, draw
ing a long breath of relief, I thanked
the Giver of all our blessings.

A Beautiful Passage.

Robert Collyer is the author of the
following beautiful passage: 1t was
noticed thatwhen the hapless Marie
Antoinette stood before the Judge I'd
receive her sentence of death, as her
hand rested on the wooden bar before
her, her fingers wandered as iH they
were touching the keys of an organ.
l think it must have been that, in he1
extremity, when heart and flesh failed
she found refuge in some great nell
ody that, heard by no soul save he1
Own-Own poor lady lifted her up
above her enemies, and helped her 20
keep that brave look at which theyl
could not but wonder; and so ]
through music, God was the strength
of her heart. So many souls still
find sueeOr in their dire need, in the
trial of and for their life. can think
Of no soul quite forlorn and helpless
that can call up and feel the power of
a great psalm in its trouble. GOdl
answers as surely true singing as true|
prayer; and 1 believe that half the.
time, if we would sing when we prayI
instead of praying, our burden would
not lie nearly so heavy upon US, nOr|
the world be so dark about US.

THE KINGS OLD COAT.-King VIII
liam of Prussia is not lavish on person
al apparel. His valet recently gave
him a. hint; by substituting a new
coat for one which he had worn much
longer than he ought, and was there
upon summoned to the royal presence.
"Whera is my old coat, Jean ?" ''I
have taken it away, your majesty; IL
is no longer fit to be worn" What
are YOU going to do with it, Jean ?'' 81
believe l am going to sell it." "How
much do you think you will get for
it," This was hard to answer, for no
in the world would
have given six pence for the old coat.
Jean, therefore, hesitated a moment,
and then answered, II believe 1 shall
get about thaler for it, your majes-
ty." The king took his pocket book
from the night table, opened it, and
handed Jean thaler. Here, JEAN"

THE TWO GATES.

Two gates unto the road Of life there are,
And 10 the happy youth both seem afar.
Both seem afar-so far the past one seems,
The gate Of birth, made dim with many
dreams.
Bright with remembered hopes, beset with
flowers;
So far it seems he cannot count the hours
That on his midway path have led him on,
Where every joy Of life now seemeth won:
50 far he thinkest not Of the other gate,
Within whose shades the ghost Of dead hopes
wait
To call him as he draws anear,
Despoiled, alone, and dull with many n fear,
Where is thy work? How little thou hast
donei
Where are thy friendss Why art thou so
alOne?"
How shall he weigh his life: Slow goes the
time,
The while the fresh dew-sprinkled hill we
climb,
Thinking of what shall be the other side.
Slow pass, perchance, the minutes we abide,
On the gained summit, blinking at the sun:
But when the downward journey is begun
No more our feet may loiter, past our ears
Shrieks the harsh wind, scarce noted midst
our fears,
And battling with the hostile things we meet,
TIL, ere we know IL, our weak. shrinking feet
Have brought us to the end and all is done.
