How From Greenland S Icy Noun
tains" Happened to be Written.

Some thirty or forty years ago ser
mons were to be preached on a partic-
ular Sabbath in the town of WreXham,
in the North Of Wales, in behalf Of
the Society for the Propagation Of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts. The clerk
of the parish church, to whom in those
times belonged the selection of the
singing, came in very diseOusOlate to
the Vicar of the parish and told him
there was no hymn suitable for such
"A subject. The sOu-in-laW of the Vicar
happened TO be at that time visiting
him. and the Vicar, turning to his
sOH-in-laW, said: "NOu are a bit of a
peet; Won see the distress OF my clerk,
and what he has to do; l wish you
would relieve him by writing a hymn
for this occasion, and he viii have IL
struck off and printed. Let it be of a
simple, easy measure, and WeWiL have
it sung on the Sabbath" The sOn-in-
law Of the Vicar retired to one corner
Of the room, and in an hour and a
half produced a hymn. The hymn
was sent to the printers, sheets were
struck off and distributed in every
pew, and it was sung on the next
Sabbath.
Twenty years afterward, the same
Congregational minister Of WreNham
hunted up in the lUmberrOOm the
manuscript Of this,0ld hymn, and this
was the autograph which I had the
pleasure of looking upOn-"I5eginald
Heber;" and the hymn q
''From Greenland's ley mountains,
From Iudia's coral strand -
a hymn which has inspired, perhaps,
more Of missionary spirit in the
Churches than any Other.-BeU. ".

HOW THE MUSIC OF IT WASCONIPOSED.
The familiar air Of Bishop Heber's
hymn. ''From Greenland's ley Noun
tains," was composed in savannah,
Ga, in 1927, by lowell Mason, then a
resident of that city, who soon alter
wards published it in Boston, with a
dedication to the lady who brought
the hymn to his nOtice-Aiiss Mary

THE Arkansas militia have again
been mustered into service, this time
in Yell county, where the negroes I'M
der the lead of 4 white man named
MUsTAIN, recently shot a genteel
young man named PORT Jones, who
was a member ola civil posse called
out by the sheriff to preserve the
peace of DardaneIle and the vicinity.
As in other Instances, the employ
ment of the militia in this case is
wholly ~indefensible and unnecessary.
The people of the county are fully "a
pable Of preserving the peace, indeed
their conduct Immediately after the
murder of young JONES proved this,
and that they We're as willing as they
were able to compel the absence Of
outlaws and evil-dOers. Besides, the
courts and civil officers of the county

its inhabitants, and shouldbe resOrted
to and exhausted before 50 extreme a

tia was had recourse to. Governor
CLAYTON, who has recently given
some indication of desire to encourage
and promote the interests of Arkansas,
Will we hope be prevailed upon to dis
band this Yell county militia, remove
the burden of martial law from its
well-disposed people, and declare once
for all for the supremacy of the civil
power of which he is the chief eXecu-
tive.

A Strange Story from Egypt.

From the Nile comes q strange
story. It is said that in the tOmbs of
ancient Egypt two kinds of mummies
have been found. One is complete
that is to say, all organs necessary for
life have been separated from them
the other, on the contrary, is quite
complete.
Having observed this, q Swedish
chemist, DR.. Grusselbach, who has
the reputation of being both great
and learned, Professor at the Univer-
sity Of Upsal, has come to the cORclu-
sion that the Egyptian mummies are
not all, as has been said and believed
for some thousand of years, bodies
embalmed by any process of preser-
walton whatever, but that they are
really the bodies Ofindividuals. whose
life has been ~mOmentarily suspended,
with the intention of restoring them
at some future time, only the secret Of
preservation has now been lost.
Meanwhile, Professor G~russelbach
adduces many proofs in support of his
idea; among others his experiments
during the last ten years, which he
says have always been successful. He
took a snake and treated it in such "A
manner as TO benumb it as though it
had been carved in marble, and it vas
so brittle, that had he allowed it to fall
it would have broken into fragments.
In this state he kept it for several
years, and then restored it TO life By
sprinkling it with stimulating fluid,
the composition of which is secret.
For fifteen years the snake has been
undergoing an existence composed Of
successive deaths and restrictions,
apparently without sustaining any
harm.
The Professor IS reported to have
sent a petition to his government re-
questing that a criminal who has been
condemned to death may be given to
him to be treated in the same man
ner as the snake, promising to restore
him to life in two years. It is under
stood that the man who undergOes the
experiment is to be pardoned.
We should think the poor criminal
would prefer to take the chances of
waking up in 1872, to having his
neck permanently disloeated in 1870,

Lake NipigOn.

The story lately told in some of the
Canadian papers, of a remarkable dis
covery made by Prof. Somebody, en-
gagged in a geological survey Of the re
gion north of Lake Superior, who
found Lake NipigOn to be Il Of the
great inland seas of the st. Lawrence
chain, rivaling Ontario, Eric and the
rest in point of magnitude, is fatty
contradicted by the Houghton Gazette.
The following description of the lake
is given by the Gazette:
The west shore of Lake NipigOn is
more irregular than can be we'll inn
agined. There are deep bays within
deep bays, yet within deep bays, Civ
ing an immense amount of coast line,
but a very small amount OF navigable
lake. The only familiar comparison
we can make is to take the hair of an
intricate braid pattern for the toe of a
slipper, which viii convey a fair idea
of the coast lines as to the body Of the
lake. There are but a few streams
employing directly into the lake, and
those have their rise and HOw only
fifteen or twenty miles away. The
two heaviest are, respectively, from
the southeast and southwest, the lat
ter being the longest, and rising with
in but a few miles of Thunder bay,
only on the other slope of the noun
tain, which forms a portion of the bay
shore. There are quite a number OF
rapid streams, their head in some
small mountain lake, which empty
into NipigOn river, whose channel is
cut deeply through the hills, and
whose current is rapid and strong, and
frequently broken by small falls and
cascades, requiring frequent portages,

Il IS well known that in the process
of roasting coffee many changes take
place in the composition Of the berry.
The horny material becomes brittle. and
the tannin, sugar and fat are partly de-
stroved. and the OIL Of the coffee driven
off BY the heat. As it is to this latter in
eredient that the present aroma Of cof-
fee IS due, it is important to retain this
as much as possible, which may be done
by introducing pieces of dry bread, to-
gether with the coffee, IN the roaster.
which viii absorb the vapor Of the oil
like a sponge. and, as it becomes heat
ed to a less degree than the coffee beans
serves to condense this vapor. When
the coffee is ground the bread IS to be
ground up and prepared with It, increas-
ING to a not inconsiderable degree the
excellence Of the coffee. The proportion
Of bread to be used is a quarter Of a
pound to three-fourths of a pound Of
coffee. The coffee. when roasted, must
be kept in closed vessel, as well filed
as possible. To keep roasted coffee for
a long time, and to prevent the loss Of
its aroma, it is recommended to sprinkle
over the bean while still hot white loaf
sugar in the proportion Of about three
quarters of a pound to twenty-five
pounds of coffee. This completely
envelopes the bean with layer Of sugar
and preserves its aroma.

The Sunday School is well sustained.
It has some 400 volumes and maga-
zines. During serving hours ago differ
ent articles of clothing and bedding have
been made by the girls. many of whom
have thus obtained their first lesson in
sewing in which their Improvement has
been surprising. Ii is hoped soon to in
troduce remunerative employment, as
calculated still more fully to enlist the
interest and develop the capabilities of
the pupils.
The few months which have elapsed
since the opening Of the School, while
more than meeting the expectations of
the management in the results reached,
have also clearly shown the importance
Of a popular understanding of the true
character and design Of the institution,
the want of which, from the first, has
been deeply felt; hence many of those
-'Ezilo-Enost need and would desire its
benefits are deprived Of them. The COM
mon understanding seems to be, that
the School is chiefly, if not wholly, for
youth far advanced in evil-somethin
after the character of a House of Cor
Eechon whereas, it is nothing more nor
less than home for young girls without
the advantage of parental or other prop
er guidance and instruction. Its main
work IS to take such children before
they have reached confirmed evil habits.
OF these three classes may be named
]. The gible-refusing to yield to
proper resraint-unmanag
danger OF making final shipwreck; this
is the largest class. a. Young Girls from
? to II years of age, cast off and speci
ally exposed to evil, not worse than hun
dreds Of their age, but who need kind
treatment and efficient discipline.
Those further gone in the downward
road, but, from their age still not beyond
the reach of reformatory effort. These
latter are but small fraction of the
whole number; and even they show
marked Improvement. We are satisfied
that the idea 50 common that the inau-
ence of this class is so strong as to give
character to the sentiment Of the School,
IS entirely wrong. The effect of the dis
cipline and control is such, that the
worst subject is controlled, instead of
controlling, and the pervadiRQs influence
IS healthful. This IS aEgeiy due to
system Of empioymept whereby every
girl, from the hour Of rising till retiring,
is kept occupied in some useful way,
and all the time under the watchfuI eve
OF a teacher. There IS no opportunity
lor improper intercourse between them.
we deem it safe to say, that in but
small portion of the families Of the State
IS the moral tone more heaIthful or ele-
Na1ng, tnan there; and we can but re-
gard that child as specially fortunate.

ges superior to those possessed by the
