STORMS.

SfORMS.
Blow, yintry winds. your keenest, nercesi
Dark rising cloud,
That doth In shsdowy gloom the earth en-
The skies o'er cast,
Thy drifting SHOWS, the tempest to attend,
Haste thou to lend.
Rage on; yon tall lone pine upon the hill,
Iow-bent may be,
And quiveFing, moaning as in agony,
But dRres you still;
And when your fitf1l strength is spent in
WIN rise again.
The storms Of life are beating DER my head,
RemorseleRsly,
And demon sprites are shoutingin their glee;
The good have fed.
Alone strive; alone stand or fall,
Against them all.
An icy hand is en- me, hrm and chill;
Life's happy dresms,
High aims and glorious Lopes, those living
Now cold and stin,
CONCEALED within their useless channels lie,
And must they die?
Defiant and alone, like yonder tree,
watch and wait.
Bowed TO the storm. ready to meet my fate,
What e'er IL be.
Would thst knew thy triumph should be
mine,
b stately pine!
1t may be, when these dreary days are DER.
The warm. bright spring
OF love, and human Kindness shall bring
To life once more
Ny frozen heart from out its prison cell;
can not tell.
I care not mnch; our pilgrimage at best
Is but strife,
An endless, thankless war 'twixt death and
life,
The curst, and blest;
And II ct Last death Eain the victory,
So let 1t be.

to prevent any possible fright on the

CHINESE SUSPENSION BRIDGES
The most remarkable evidence of the
mechanical science and skill of the
Chinese at this early period is to be
found in their suspension bridges,
the invention of which is assigned to
the Han dynasty. According to the
concurrent testimony OF al their
historical and geographical writers,
SangleaDg, the commander of the
army KaOn-tsOo, the first of the Hans,
undertook and completed the fOrma-
ton Of roads through the mountain
Gus province CT Shensi to the west of
the capital. Hitherto its lofty hills
and deep valleys had rendered a COM
munication difficult and eireuitOus.
With body of 10O, 900 lsbOrers he cut
passages over the mountains, throw
ing the removed soil into the valleys,
ana where this was not sufficient to
raise the road TO the required height
he constructed bridges, which rested
on pillars or abutments. In another
place he conceived and accomplished
The daring project of suspendiDg a
bridge frOm one mountain to another
across a deep chasm. These bridges,
which are called by the Chinese
writers, very appropriately, flying
bridges, and represented to be runner
GUS st the present. dav, are sometimes
so high that they cannot be traversed
without alarm. One still eyistiug in
Shensi stretches four hundred feet
from mountain to mountain, erer a
ehasm five hundred feet. Most of
these Hying bridges are so wide that
four horsemen can ride on them
abreast, and balustrades are placed on
each side to protect travellers. it is
by no means improbable las NJ. Pau
thier suggests) that as the mission
aries in China made known the fact
more than a century and half ago,
the Chinese had suspended bridges,
and that many Of them were made Of
iron, the hint may have been taken
from these for similar constructions
by European engineers.-iScieRtiic

A new story is going the rounds
touching an experieneeOf NJ. Taine's,
at Oxford, England, while visiting
the colleges there. Max Muller went
into the dining-rOOm of a hotel in
Oxford, and there saw Taine sitting
with dish of roast beef and vast
quantities Of buttered toast. The
learned German was surprised at the
combination, and at the huge guam
tity of the toast. - Is that French
dish ?'' he asked. mo, f" said Taine,
" but they keep on bringing it to me

much like 0uttered toast " that the

Freckles indicate an excess OF iron
in the blood, we are told, the sun act
ing on the particles in the skin as it
does on indelible ink, bringing out
the color. A very simple way Of re-
moving them is said to be as follows ::
Take finely powdered nitre (saltpe-
tre), and apply it to the freekles by
the finger mOistened with the water
and dipped in the powder. When
perfectly done and judiciOusly repeat
ed, IL will remove them effectually

begin with your mouth many
thieves pass down the red lane. The
ale jug is great waste. In all other
things keep within compass. Never

and lasting stuff, and not tawdry a.
neries. To be warm is the main
thing; never mind the looks. A fool
may make money, but it needs wise

easier to build two chimneys than to
keep one going. Ifyou give all to
back and board, there is nothing left
for the savings bank. Fare hard and
work hard while you are young, and
you will have q chance to Test when
you are old.-Codl and Iron Record.

It matters little what vocation 8

If he works well, outside of his even.
ings.
The farmer, the teacher, the bust.
ness man, are more nearly on an
equal here than is often thought. We
have never half understood what God
gave us evenings for, and so haven't
got half the good thought and life
from them that we ought. Almost
the most helpful winter we ever lived
was while working in woods and
feeding the stock, we read "Plutarch's Is
Lives" and studied Shakespeare until
we somewhat appreciated merry
Wives of Windsor, F" Hamletn - and
liking Lear" For the highest, and
sad to say-for the lowest flights OF
mortals the evening is the best part
Of the day.
1t has seemed to-day as though
winter had begun to let go its icy
clutch. It has been q winter of iron
nerve, and ought to teach US a lesson.
As a rule we make too little PIE
paration for cold weather. Unless
sickness and death are blessings it
hardly pays to try the burdening
process" A celebrated German SAYS:
" Only fools and beggars suffer from
cold the latter not being able to get
sufficient clothes, the Others not hav-
ing sense to wear them.n
Let Il be set down that before
another winter our homes shall be
made more snug, and the outdoor
conveniences better arranged. And
let us who love the farm be little
more merciful TO our beasts. II would
be hard TO measure the amount Of
dumb brute suffering that goes on in
our midst every winter. II the past
season has only taught Us that winter
Is tCfnter and ueedS to be prepared
for, it has not been wholly in vain.
Glancing over to-day's daily one
sees little but reports Of conventions
Uneasy rests the head that wears
a crown" and heads without crowns
don't seem TO rest at all.
We who are to honor and to fame
unknown y can take savage delight
as we look at our politicians. No
citizen of this great republic, as far as
heard from, ever held an Office that
was not doubiy and trebly paid for in
anxiety, abuse, or pangs Of defeat.
The highest damning that was ever
done land for that matter the lowest

desire q soul ever had Yet it is vain
to say so. Sweet is yox pOpuli.
