THE Law AND THE GOSPEL.
ny PEARL RIVERS.

The girl IItI reading the Jewish Law,
with the Bible on her knees;
The sun like the Gospel shines around,
But do not think she sees.
An eye for an eye and tooth for tooth,
In cold, hard voice she reads
In the woodland near calls the tender dove,
But do not think she heedS.
" Eye. for 40 eye, and life for life !"
Aye, hNan for y heart shall IL be;
She won NY lover add broke my heart;
Her lover shall kneel 10 me.
l met him up at the Hall last night,
Aud often saw him glance
Al my queeny form and he pressed my hand
When be turned me 10 the dance.
And be praised the songs that sang for him;
Said was the fairest there
Aid tendery did he say good night,
And to>day be will be here.
And sigh for sigh will pay her back,
And tear for tear she shall weep
She scattered the seed of hate broadcast,
Aud the harvest she shall reap.
The breeze came up from the garden near
And futtered the Bible leaves,
Turning them over with fingers light
Alb, how her bosom beaves
And ber eyes grow soft, and their stony look
Has melted away into tears,
And she sees the sunlight shining now,
And the doves low voice she hears.
What reads the girl on the open page?
Blessings for curses speak
Resist not i'll 10 the Smiter turn
With patience the other cheek"
And bowing her head On the Holy Book,
"O Oh, God, teach me so to live
Father, she prays, in a low sweet voice,
" Forgive me, MS forgive"

FATAL HAsTE.-Ihe lsralites who talk ed
of stoning Moses, and the mariners who
threatened to drown Columbus, are only
two instances of tho unreasonableness of
impatient passion in the ignorant, toward
those wiser leaders who would guide them
slowly but surely to their best good. Many
years ago, when the Egyptian troops first
conquered Nubia, a regiment was destroyed
by thirst in crossing the desert. The men,
being upon q limited allowance of water,
were suffering from extreme thirst, and. de
ceived by the appearance Of mirage that
exactly resembled beautiful lake, they in,
sisted upon being taken to its hunks by the
Arab guide. it was in vain that the guide
assured them the lake was unreal, and he
refused to lose the precious tune by wander
ing from his course Words led to blows
and he was killed by the soldiers. whose
lives depended upon his guidance. The
whole regiment turned from the track and
rushed toward the welcome waters. Thirsty
and faint, over the burning sands they hur-
ried-heayier their footsteps became-hot.
ter and hotter their breath, as deeper they
pushed into the desert-further and further
from the lost track where the pilot lay in
blood and still the mocking spirit of the
desert, the streets of the mirage led them
on, and the lake glistening in the sunshine
tempted them to bathe in its cool waters
close to their eyes, but never at their lips
At length the delusion vanished-the fatal
lake had turned to burning sand! Raging
thirst and horrible despair the painless
desert ard murdered guide Lost lost

WEIGHT OF CATTLE.-Mauy experiments
have been made by graziers and dealers In
cattle to ascertain the net weight of cattle BY
measurement Rules have been given and
tables constructed of the results obtained.
At best, these are but approximations, and
the measure of correctness will depend much
upon a practical acqusin tance with the form
aud prominent points to be measured Some.
thing will depend, too, on the breed, size,
mode of fattenipg, the time the process has
been going on, and the character Of the feed
supplied. The following method comes 10
near correct result as any known: Meas
ure carefully with tape line from the top
of the shoulder to where the tail Is attached
to the back this will give The length. For
the girth, measure Immediately behind the
shoulders and fOre.legs. Multiply half the
eirth by itself in feet, then multiply this
product by the length, and the product will
give tho net weight in stones Of eight pounds.
For example, with an OK or COW S five feet
in length and 7 feet in girth, the calculation
will be as follows:
Multiply half the girth BY itself 10 feet....S.S
