sCoruH HYMN.

SCOTCH hymn.
There are blossoms that haze budded,
Been blighted 4 the cauld,
An lammies that hae perished,
Because they left the fanld;
But cover We in aneath His wings
Wha died upon the tree,
An gathers in His bosom ~
Helpless weans like you and me,
In the wsrld there's triBulaticn,
In the warld there is wac;
But the warld 1t is bonnie,
For our Father made It sac,
Then BRIGHTEN up your armor,
An be happy as We gang,
Though your sky be aften cl0uded,
1t Wilma be for lang.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Extraordinary Freak of Lightning.

Extraordinary Freak of lightning.
From the Rogersyille (Tenn.) journal.
SNEEDVILLE. TENN, July IS, 1872.-
One of the most remarkable events occur
red in this (Hancock) county some days
ago that we ever heard Of. Mr.. John Null
Inns and his hands were at work in his field
cutting wheat, and there arose a small
cloud which had the appearance of giving
them light shower of rain. When the
rain began to fall they fed for shelter, some
10 one place aud some TO another, while
Mr.. Mullins took shelter under large,
bending oak which had been deadened and
left standing when he cleared the field In
which he was harvesting. The tree had be-
come almost limbless, except some large
ones. 1t had become doated on the side
most exposed, while the side where Mr..
Mullins took shelter was very hard and
sound, having a very heavy coat of rough,
thick bark. Mr.. Mullins had been there
but few minutes when there was a most
terrific clap of thunder, the lightning strik
ing the tree on the upper side, taking off
limbs and bark, and tearing the trunk of
the tree almost 70 pieces, till it came to
about from ten TO twenty feet from the
ground to a crack which seemed to extend
through the tree. The lightning passed
through this to the side where Mr.. Mullins
was and bursted ont a large block of wood.
1t then left the tree about the height of Mr..
Mullins head and passed through his hat
brim, on the right side, ard struck his right
shoulder, running around his arm and
down his side to his hip, and there it forked
and went across the lower part of his abdo-
men and down both legs, burning as it went.
His right leg was badly burned, and in the
hollow of his foot and on the ball of his
great toe were two places exactly
alike; each having q star with eight
points. His clothes and shoes were liter
ally torn to pieces, and thrown mostly from
his body. His sons and other hands who
were shelterlng under other trees, were
shocked badly. After lapse of some fif-
teen minutes they went to where MIR. Null
Inns was, and found him some distance
from the tree, covered up with bark and
fragments of the tree, aud as kind provi-
dence would have it, alive. Hii1 .1-s
Mr.. Mullins says that he neither saw the
lightning nor heard the thunder, but when
be became sensible and saw the tree torn
to pieces, he had an idea of what had hap
pened. Until midnight he suffered intense
ly from the burning. No one can imagine
the awful suffering he underwent. 1t is q
mystery how he escaped with his life. He
is improving slowly, and there is probaoE-
ity Of his recovery. JOHN III. TATE.

1t is not they alone who are trying purposely t o
convert or corrupt others who exert an inleence.
the doors of your soul are open on others, and
theirs on you, you inhabit a house that is well
nigh transparent, and what you are With n,
you ever showing yourself to be without, by
signs that you have no ambiguous expression.
If you had the seeds Of pestilence in your body
you would not have more active contagion than
you have in your tempers, tastes and principles.
Simply to be in this world whatever you are is to
exert an infuence-an influence compared to
which mere language and persuasion are feeble.
Is your example harml essl Is 1t ever on the side
Of God and duty? You cannot doubt that you
must answer for these Impressions. 1.-THE infu
ence you exert is unconsciously exerted, then it
only the most sincere, the truest expression of
iyour character. Do not deceive yourself in the
thought that you are at least doing no injury and

mere look or glance, not unlikely, you are convey

THE INTERNATIONAL MARITIME SIGNAL
SYSTEM.

The Treasury Department is considering the pro
priety of urging upon Congress at its next SEES
sion the Importance of some general enactment in
regard to the adoption by the m erchant marine of
the international code of signals now nsed by the
merchant vessels of most foreign nations. This
code is being published by the Navy Department
for use in the navy, and when completed will be
on sale at its cost of publication which will e
less than So per volume. The system is very com
plete, and by the use of the book communication
can be established as well between vessels of ma
tons speaking different language as between
those of the same nation. AL present communi-
cation between American vessels is very difficult,
owing to several sys TENS being in use, and it is
almost impracticable for IN American vessel to
communicate with another of nation speaking a
foreign language, with signal stations or with
vessels of the United States Navy, by which the
new code has been adopted. The serious inconve-
nience experienced under the present system will
undoubtedly lead to legislation upon the subject
and the general disuse of the confusing modes
now in vogue.

Kentuckian and Yankee were one riding
through the woods, the former on a fine black
horse, and the Yankee on an inferior animal. The
latter wanted to make "swap," but did not see
how he was to do it. At last he thought of a plan.
His horse had been taught to sit down like dog
whenever he was touched by the spur. Seeing a
wild turkey the Yankee made his horse perform
his trick, and asserted that lie was pointing game
as was his custom. The Kentuckian rode in the
direction indicated by the horses nose and up
rose turkey. That settled the matter the trade
was made and saddles and horses were changed.
After time they came to a deep and rapid stream
over which the black horse carried his rider with
ease. Bat the Kentuckian on the Yankees old
beast, found great difficulty in getting over and
when he reached the middle of the stream he
was afraid the horse would allow himselfto be
carried ava and endeaYored to spur him up to
more VIGOROUS action. Down sat the old horse
on his launches.
"Look a here !" shouted the enraged and par
submerged Kentuckian to the Yankee on the
other side of the stream, ''what does all this
mean ?''
II want you to know stranger, 'cried the Yankee
preparing to ride away, "that there boss will pint

mother, busy with her house hold cares, was
obliged to go into an upper room, and leave two
little ones alone for some time. So she gave them
books ard toys to amuse them, which answered
very well for time But by and by, the house
seemed to grow so still and lonesome, they began
to feel afraid So the eldest went to the foot of
the staircase, and calling with timid voice, said
Mamma, are you therey' ''Yes, darling" said
the mother, cheeriy 'All right said the little
one, more to herself than to her mother. So she
went back to her play for time. After while
the question was repeated, with the same an
swer and the same result. Oh, how often, in our
loneliness and sadness here in the world, we for
get that God is still overhead But IF we only
send up our prayers to Him, we shall not fail to
get comforting and quieting answer. "What
time I am afraid will trust in Thee" You need
not fear in the darkest night or the widest Storm

mother comforteth,' so the Lord will comfort
those sorrowing ones who fee to his bosom for

The following is said to be the means used by
the professional rat-catchers of Paris to destroy
the vermn;
''They take deep tub with water on the bot
tom, and a little elevation in the middl like an
island, on which is only place for just one rat to
sit on. The top is covered and has a large bal
anced valve opening downward on the middle
of this valve piece of fried pork or cheese is
fixed, and when the rat walks on it to get the
cheese, the valve goes down, drops the rat in the
water, and moves back in position. road is
made from the rat hole to the top of t he tub, by
means Of piece of board rubbed with cheese, SO
as to make the walk attractive for the rats. In the
course ola single night some ten or twenty, or
even more rats may go down and il the island
was not there, they would be found most all alive
in the morning quietly swimming around the
provision of the little island saves the trouble of
killing them, because their egotistic instinct of
self.preservason causes them to fight flor the ex-
elusive possession of the island, of which, in the
the morning, the strongest rat is found in solitary
possession all the 9th ers being killed or drowned
around him.
This may do for Paris. We do not know how it
would answer here.
