The Serenity of the Dying.

It has so happened that I have
seen many men and women die.
Without design or disposition on my
part, I have very many times been
present when sick persons were ebb-
ing to eternity. I have seen men
and women, young and old, cultivat-
ed and ignorant, orthodox and heter-
odox, in their last moments; and, as
a rule, al of them passed away, if
not without regret, at least with en-
tire resignation. None of them
showed dread of the future. Their
thoughts were fixed on what they
were quitting. not on what they were
going to. l observed that some of
them were troubled, perhaps dis
tressed, when they first thought
they could rot recover, but that, the
nearer their end came, the less ap-
prehensive and calmer. they grew.
Having once banished hope, tran
guilty seemed to descend upon
them as a substitute, and alterward,
if free from physical pain, there
was unrutfled peace. If encouraged
to believe they might get well, or if
they had favorable turn, the old
anxiety, with something of the for
mer apprehension, reappeared;
proving that their mental disquiet
ude was born of their expectation Of
life, not of their fear Of death. Thus
was established clear analogy be-
tween material and spiritual anguish
under the same circumstances As
We have seen, they who are badly
hurt, or seriously III, experience suf-
fering in going back to life, while
the downward path to death, both
for the body and the soul, IS paved
with smoothness and serenity.

The Richest. Person.

The Khedive OF Egypt is believed
to be the richest person in the world.
Some report his income to be $780,
100000 per year. He INDUCES in
twenty five magnifcently furnished
palaces, and has his private steam
yateh for sea and river service.
With all his wealth, however, he is
far from being a man Of leisure. He
is not only the ruler of vast coun-
try, bnt a merchant, manufacturer,
banker, statesman, shipbuilder and
farmer. He IS represented as being
the largest farmer IN the world, and
one Of the most enterprising. His
experiment, in agriculture extend TO
almost every department of the bus
mess, and embrace tillage, manures,
stock breeding and the acclimation
of plant and animals. Among the
little enterprises he has now on
hand Is the construction of factories
TO work up the raw products OF his
vast plantations of cotton and sugar
cane, and the construction of a rail
road the entire length OF his domin-
ions. As he IS giving great atten-
ton to the improvement of his
army, many believe this road is un-
dertaken largely with view Of car
rving on war of conquest with the
savage nations that live to the south
of him. His industry is remarkable.
He sleeps but six hours in the TWEEN
ty-four, after which he attends tc
matters of state, the public enter
prize, and lastly his private business
affairs.

Remarkable stories are related of
the marvellous instinct, amounting
almost to reason, shown by rats in
avoiding the snares set for their de-
struction. The following singular
instance of this is related TO have
recently occurred in Chicago. In a
house where the rats, had been very
troublesome traps had long been set,
but to no purpose. Finally some
of the family determined to watch
the trap. 1t was cunningly set.
Soon a young rat appeared, and
was about stepping on the fatal
spring, when an old rat rushed to
the rescue. seized the indiscret I'VE
