WAITING.

have one little angel waiting for me
On the Beautiful banks of the crystal sea !;
Not impatiently waits my darling there,
For smiles light up his brow so fair
An: his little harp rings cut so Gear,
So soothingly sweet to faiths listening ear
And he lives in the smile of the Savior's love
Who SO early called my darling above.
have one little angel wait 'ng for me
On the beautiful banks of the crystal sea
Forever free from sorrow ard pain,
Spotless and pure from all earthly stain;
Never in erring paths to rove
Safe in the bosom of infinite lovo,
Evermore, eyermore walking in light,
That beautiful angel robed in white.
have one little angel waiting for me
On the beautiful banks of the crystal sea;
When my weary heart is throbbing with pain
And fain would clasp my darling again,
I'll look away from this earthly strand
To the beautiful fields of the Better Land, VI
| will think OF the angel waiting there,
And offer TO God thankful prayer.
/ have one little angel to welcome me
When too shall stand by the crystal sea
When the Great Re6ner His image may trace
In the heart He has won by His saving grace,
And in robes of Christ's own Righteousness
drest.
My soul shall seek the home of the tlest-
On .he beautiful banks Of the crystal sea
NY darling. still waiting, shall welcome me.

TIE Niacr's yoarn1i has the follow
ing account of a case of clear grit Near
Shamokin. on Friday evening, "a an en-
CINE with twenty loaded coal care was
coming down the grade from the .junct-
ion on the Northern Central Railroad,
which is a single track at that point, a
cow was run over. The engine kept the
track. but the cars were thrown off, piled
ND, and wrecked The fireman, thiak-
ing the e4gine was OF tie track, jumped
from the engine, with, steam on, kept
on down the grade, and passed at rate
of speed so or 35 miles an hour through
Shamokn. In few minutes the pass
epger train from Sudbury would be due,
and if the engine kept on a collision
would be inevitable. the results Of which
would unquestionably involve loss Of
life and property. As the coal engine
with not a living soul upon it dashed to
wards the scales, young nan employed
there named Miles Cray took in the
whole situation at glance. As The en-
gine was dashing past, grasp at one of
the iron supports and a simultaneous
spring, placed him on the engine, and he
succeeded in stopping it three minutes
before the passenger train came in The
act was one involving great personal
risk; it unquestionably prevented
serious accident. and young Gray should
receive substantial testimonial for his
bravery and the risk he ran"

A Phenomenon. .

the form of celestial chOwder," as il
is denominated, though only Celestials
could get any good of IL. 1t consisted
of a shower OF fish-bones, diamond
shape, with serrated edges, and in ap--
pearance resembling enamel. The
shower extended over a distance of
ten miles, and the fish frames fell by
millions. They. .rattledi on the roofs
of the startled citizens like grape-shot,
and hushed voices wanted to know
what it meant. They still are anxious
for that information,i not knowing
whether to augur good Oh ill from it.
They have heard of showers of blood,
of frogs, of grain, and of pitchforks.
A long time ago, also, when Pharaoh
wouldn't let Joseph go, there were
other showers, but there. has never
been a precedent 4. for disintegrated

Winter Home of the Birds.

1t is question not yet satisfactorily
answered, where all our summer birds
spend their winters. We say, Z" they
go South" which is true but just how
far they go, where they stop, and how
long they stay, is not quite SO clear.
The city OF Columbia, South Caro-
lima, seems to be one of the way-sta-
tions of the robins on their northward
journey, and for few days no other
city upon the continent, or perhaps in
the world, presents tsuch sight. 1t
is said that immense f1ocks make their
appearance there from farther south,
about the beginning of January and
remain until the middle of February.
Thousands upon thousands of them
assemble upon the magnificent shade
trees, as if in grand convention, to
make preparation for their fight.-
When on the ground in search of food
they move like an army and seem to
be under the. command OF leader,
who, on the slightest alarm, utters a
shrill quick note, and instantly the
whole flock take to. flight. AS they
move through field their numbers
are so great they, destroy immense
quantities of cut-worms and grubs.
Nevertheless, by the time they
reach us the army is scattered, and
they come around our doors in, twos
and threes !; and it is sometimes a
month after we hear the first song, be-
fore the last straggler makes its ap-
pearance. ,t..f,, f,.tl .,.,..,..,s, .,f- -

The GatlingGnns...

r. The tGatllng guns at West Point are
curious looking implements of war
fare, but more curious still is the
manner of their working. An odd
appearing bending band of steel is
brought from the ammunition chest
and held Immediately over and in
contact with the slit in the upper part
of the gun. This segment contains
twenty cartridges, and as the 6 coffee
mill" is turned they descend in due
sequence into the chambers, where
they explode. From the many mouths
of the gun shoot forth uninterrupted
numbers of piercingly bright flashes
of flame, surrounded by enwrapping
wells of blue smoke, and from the
lower side comes steady stream of
empty cartridge shells. When one
segment is exhausted it is replaced by
another, and there is really no limit
to the capacity of the gun SO long as
the crank is Kept turning. An officer
informs me that they can fire 420 shots
a minutel and furthermore, that the
prevalent impression concerning their
delIcacy and liability to get out of
order is untrue; that they are. easily
simply constructed, and
good for much service.

Anecdote Of Tom Cor,yin.

q When quite a young man Tom Cor
win was elected a member of the GEN
eral assembly of the State of Ohio,
and early in the session he introduced
bill for the destruction of the public
whipping post. He made an earnest
speech in favor of the measure, to
which an elderly. member replied as
folio Ws: "Mr. Speaker, the gentle
man is not as old as am. and has not
seen as much of the practical opera
ton of the system of punishment
which we desire to abolish When 1
lived in Connecticut, if a.fellow stole
a horse, or cut up other antics, we
used to tie him up and give him a real
good thrashing. and he always cleared
right out, and we never saw anything
more of him. It's the best way of
getting rid of the rogues that was
ever tried, without expense to the
State" Mr.. Corwin, who never failed
to carry his point by joke, if the ar
gument was against him, only made
the brief reply: {. Mr.. Speaker, l.
have oftt n been troubled to account
for the vast emigration from Connecti-
cntto the West, but the gentleman last
up has explained it to my satisfaction"
1t is almost needless to say that Mr..
Corwin's bill was passed by an oyer
whelming majority.

about Whiskers.

Did you know that in 1916 pair of
whiskers or such a thing as a mustache
was abominated in this section? We
know prominent gentleman of this
town who says he never saw a man
with a beard until 1850; that his father
as. well as other old gentlemen of this
town, never wore a whisker, but
shaved every morning and taught his
children that whiskers were an abom-
ination and a sin. he says at Chapel
Hill IN 1916 a young man from Raleigh
(and now a prominent citizen of that
city, );made weak attempt to cultivate
moustache, and it raised such COM
motion in college that the Faculty
took hold of it and sent the Rev. DIR.
Deems, now of New York, and then
one of the board, to the young man to
reason with him, and get him to shave
his upper lip. The doctor appealed to
the young man, for the sake of his
sainted father, (" to cut it of, and if
not for his sake, for Gods sake to "cut
it off," And the hair disappeared
Only sports and circus riders and such
wore whiskers in those days. Our
informant now wears a heavy beard,
and is not little proud OF his NOUS
tache. How times do change.-Hiiis-

Diversions of an Esqnimaux

A genuine full-blooded Esquimaux
dog, right from his native snow and
ice, makes a very lively pet. A Gin
cinnati lady brought one home from
Europe some months ago and turned
him loose in the house. During the
first two weeks of his residence in the
lap of luxury he tore up $500 worth
aof lace curtains, gnawed holes in all
the carpets in the house, ruined all the
upholstery, scratched the gliding off
the mirror and picture frames, and
smashed unrecorded quantities of
glass and crockery ware. He, has
frightened half the children of the
neighborhood into fits, exterminated
the cats for half dozen blocks, and
made night continually hideous by his
propensity tor baying the moon. Not
withstanding these diversions he does
not find sufficient scope for his pent-
up energies, and is continually pining
for his far-off Northern home and the
joys of the long Arctic nights and the
sledge races over the eternal snow.

A Fight Between Two China
ais - men .s3,,l5 I.lss.4
A fight at Virginia, Montana. be-
tween two Cinnamon, named Nun
Gee and Ching lIo, is thus described
by the MOaatanedn Throwing aside
their outer garments, and each armed
with huge knife and an ugly-looking
hatchet, they faced each other for the
fray-the women meantime viewing
the preparations with unconcern. For
a moment they stared at each other
like wild beasts over disputed prey.
and then sprang forward with uplifted
weapons. essffi the first onslaught Hos
nimbleness of foot saved his worth

one side, the hatchet of Nun Gee cleft
nothing but air, and Ho buried the
blade of his tomahawk III the cheek of
his unwieldy adversary. Withdraw
ing it he stepped back into position.
Howling vengeance, and with tor
rent of blood gushing from his fright

ebbing of the crimson tide oozed his
strength and discretion. lie fought
wildly, while his willy antagonist
rained his hatchet-blows fast and sure,
cutting Gee in terrible manner about
the face, hands and neck. AT last, as
Gee endeavored to grapple his oppo-
nent, he received a deadener under
the right ear from Hos hatchet. Ho,
fearing arrest, fed. About this time
the police arrived upon the scene. AT
the request of many, Gee was put in
his bed for repairs and physician
summoned. Although horribly mu-
tilated, Gee may possibly recover.
The wound in the neck is not so deep
as was thought. and the iugular vein
was missed, but his facial attractions
will always lack their usual amount
of cheek, and his genial voice will be
marred by the absence of nearly all
his front teeth. The section of his
left ear is the only relic the authors
ties have of Ho, and even that will be
relinquished to the medical faculty on
application"

A CURIOUS CAsE.---A curious case
has just been decided in an English
court. A man, being already mar
ried, went through the form of a Sec
ond marriage with another woman.
The second wife was-a relative of the
first-who was still living-and within
the degree of affinity which made the
marriage invalid, evenif the first wife
had been dead. He was prosecuted
for bigamy. The defense was that
since the second marriage was in any
event invalid it could not constitute
the offense of bigamy. This defense
had previously prevailed in an Irish
court. The English court declared
that it was bigamy. The law is that
whoever" being married shall marry
another person" is guilty of bigamy.
The court held that the words shall
marry" mean o very different thing
from "being married !" that the Sec
ond ceremony is in the nature of the
case void, and that an additional cause
of invalidity in no way diminishes its
criminality.
