Most leople can bear one days
evil; the thing that breaks men
down is thetrying to bear, on one
day, the eviff two days, twenty
days, a hundred days. We can
bear a day of pain, followed by a
night of pain and that again by
day of pain, and so onward. But
we can bear each day and night of
pain only by taking each by itself.
We can break each rod but not the

great sufferings, turns to the wal
in blank dispair, when he looks toe
far on, and takes in a uniform
dreamy expanse of suffering, ur-
relieved by the blessed relief of
even fanoifuI beginnings and ends.

the author of several works on Biblical

TBE KING OF STAIN AND HIS BROTHER.
In recent issue of the Freeman g Journal,
Mr.. McMaster speaks thus about thesegtwo
noble youths
The sufferings of right minded Spaniards,
all over the Peninsula, afford reason why
Don Carlos should hasten his movements.
These seem, in fact, to have quickened, if
not precipitated, his personal entry into
Spain. If it were not rash for us, on such
imperfect knowledge, to judge, we would
say he entered Spain, in person, too soon.
There is fighting to be done, there. So
far, there have been brilliant, and inspir-
ing successes. The young Don Alphonso,
brother of Don Carlos, especially, with his
dear Papal Zouaves, many Of whom from
other countries have rallied to his standard
has done wonderful things. And he has
others associated with him, into whom he
seems to infuse his own spirit, chivalrc
| because, first of all, Christian. The crown
he fights for ia not an earthly one. Let his
brother, Don Carlos, wear the crown OF
Spain. Young Don Alphonso looks beyond
that. Onr dear Chevalier Hugh Murray
who has gone to join him, has t,ld US o.
Don Alphonso's life among the Pontifica
Zouaves. No privileges would he accept
because he was of Royal blood. Or, ra
ther, because be was of blood truly Royal
he refused all differences in his favor. He
eat the ratioDs of the other Zouaves, anC
he performed all their severe drudgeries
with gay heart. And, having thus learn
ed to do, and to obey, he has acquired the
more perfect science of how to command

r WATERING STREETs.-A simple contriv-
ance for watering streets has been patented
in England, and is on trial in London. IL
consists of q small pipe, sunk in the foot
pavement, just level with the curbstone,
having small perforations a foot apart.
From these apertures, when the water is
turned on, jets are thrown into the road
way. The dust is laid almost instantane-
ously and where washing is required, tits
only necessary to continue the process. So
simple a contrivance, one would think, will
soon become universal. Owners of prop
erty, at comparatively small cost, would
adopt it in front of their premises. The
pipe is covered with asphalte, and the orr
ices are protected with sm all metallic tubes,
the apertures being no larger than the
puncture of an awl.
