WAITING.


The following piece of poetry win, We think
find an echo 10 the heart OF every mother wh'
has seen her darling pass to the further sidt
of the crystal sea.
/ I have two little angels waiting for me
On the beautiful banks of the crystal sea
Not impatiently wait my darliugs there,
For smiles light up their brows so fair;
And their little harps ring out so clear,
So soothingly sweet to faith listening ear,
! And they live in the smile Of the Sayiouf'l
love,
Who so early called my darlings above.
have two little angels waiting for me
On the beautiful banks Of the crystal sea;
Forever free from sorrow and pain,
Spotless and pure from all earthly stain
Never in erring paths TO rove
Safe in the bosom Of Infinite love-
Evermore, evermore walking in light,
These beautiful angels robed in white.
I have two little angels waiting for me
On the beautiful banks of the crystal sea;
When my weary head is throbbing with pain
Aud fain would Gasp my darlings again,
I'll look away from this earthly strand
To the beautiful fields of the ''Better Land;
I viii think of the angels waiting there,
And offer to God a thankful prayer.
have two little angels to welcome me
When I too shall stand by the crystal sea;
When the Great ReGner His image may trace
Iu the heart he has won by His saving grace
And in robes of Christ's own Righteousness
dress'd,
Ny soul shall seek the home Of the blest,-
On the beautiful banks Of The crystal sea
My darlings, still waiting, shall welcome me

TIE LOST RACE One of the most re-
markable races that ever inhabited the earth
is now extinct. They were known as the
Gaunches, and were the aborigines Of the
Canary Islands. In the sixteenth century,
pestileuee, slavery, and the cruelty Of the
Spaniards succeeded in totally extermina-
ting them. They are described as having
been gigantic in stature, but Of singularly
mild and gentle nature Their food con-
sisted Of barley, wheat, and goats milk, and
their agriculture was Of the rudest kind.
The bodies of their dead were carefully en-
balrned aud deposited in catacombs, which
still continue to be an object Of curiosity to
those who visit the islands.

a CLERGIcAL ANEcDoTE.

Some thirty five or forty years ago, Mr..
Williams, a clergyman Of the Old School,
somewhat eccentric, came to Salem from the
country to exchange desks with one of his
brethren in the ministry. During the Sab
oath noon intermission he said to his daught-
ef -
L am going to lie down. If St. Paul
himself comes don't disturb ne. -
Mr.. Bentley, who preached in the East
Church. who had been very intimate With
Mr.. Williams, but had not seen him for sew
eral years, hearing that he was in town,
hurried off after dinner, to make bis old
friend a call
Where IS brother Williams?' he in
quired, as be met the daughter.
"He can't be disturbed, sir, even if St.
Paul should call. p"
Il must see him Z! was the impatient re-
joinder, in the inimitable manner peculiar
to Mr. Bentley.
Resistance to such must was out Of the
question. The room of the sleeper was IL
vaded, and with no gentle shake and cor
responding voice, Mr., Williams was aroused.
he was delighted to see his old friend Bent
ley, reiterating with feryeney his gratifea-
ton.
II think, brother Williams, that you arr
little inconsistent
"HoR so, brother Bentley ?"
''Didn't you tel your daughter you wa
no; to be disturbed even if st. Paul called
yet you seem very glad to see me.
''No, no, brother not inconsistent at all
l Has-I i an glad to see you. The apostle
Paul why, hope to spend a blessed eter
nifty with him but you, brother Bentley,
never expected 10 see you again.

LOOKING OUT FOR SLIGn rS.-

LOOKING OUT FOR sLIGnrs.--
There are some people always
looking out for Sights. They can
not pay a visit, they cannot receive
a friend, or carry on the daily inter
course of the family without sus-
pecting that some offence is design
ed They are as touchy as hair trig-
gers. II they meet an acquaintance
in the street who happens TO be pre-
occupied with business, they attrib
ute his abstraction to some motive
personal to themselves, and take
umbrage accordingly. They lay on
others the fault of their own irrita
bility. A fit Of indigestion makes
them see impertincnce in everybody
they come in contact with. Innocent
persons, who never dreamed OF Civ
ing offence, are aStonished to find
some unfortunate word or some mo
mentary taciturnity mistaken for AZ
insult.

ADULTERATED LIQUoRs.-The
NcS York World has been sending
around to the bars OF the leading
hotels for samples of the liquor sold
by these institutions, and nobody
will be surprised to learn thst most
of it proves to be badly adu'terated.
Liqours obtained from Delmonic0 5,
the Astor House, the Metropolitan,
the Fifth Avenue, and other first
class places, were proved by chemi.
i analysis to contain large proper
ons of fusil oil, dangerous poison;
with owerful Intoxicating qualities
while there was not a case in which
the liquor had not been largely di-
luted with water. IN the examples
cited by the World the price of bran,
dy was from thirty to fifty cents a
glass, and that of whiskcy twenty to
thirty cents.
