DEATH A LIFTING UP.-I love to
think that what seems to be the mys-
terry of the silence Of death, which
envelopes so many that we loved on
earth, is not really mystery. Our
friends are separated from us because
they are higher than our faculties can
60. Our child dies. 1t is the last we
see of him or her. He is lifted so far
above us that we cannot follow HIM.
He was our child. He was Graded in
our arms but instantly, in the twink
ling of an eye, God took him up in
his own sphere. And we see him not.
But it is because. we are not yet de-
yeloped enough. We can see no
spiritual things with canal eyes. But
they who have walked with us here,
who have gone beyond us, and whom
we cannot see, are still ours. They
are more ours than they ever were
before. We cannot commune with
them as we once could, because they
are infinitely lifted above those condi-
tions in which we are able to commune.
We remain here, and are subject to
the laws of this realm. They are gone
where they speak higher language and
live in higher sphere. But this sill
enee is not the silence Of vacuity, and
the mystery is not the mystery Of dark
ness and death. Theirs is the glory;
ours the waiting for it. Theirs is the
realization; ours is the immaturity
striving to be ripe. And when the
day comes that we shall disappear
from these earthly scenes, we shall be
joined by them again not as we are
for we shall not be then as we were,
but as they are with God. We shall
be like them and him.-Henry Ward
Beecher.

Scotch Anecdotes.

There are some capital Scottish
Anecdotes in Every Saturday of April
19, among them one of a dying High
land chieftain, who asked his spiritual
adviser ''if there was any whisky in
Heaven" and then, halfapologetically
said, eye ken, sir, it's no that l care
for it, but it looks weel on the table"
Here is another DR.. Robert Knox, the
great teacher of anatomy, began one
ofhis lectures in this way "Gentle
men, there are no textbooks | can
recommend. wrote one myself, but
it is poor stuff. I can't recommend it.
The man who knows most about a
subject writes worst upon it. lfyou
want a good textbook on any subject
recommend me to the man who knows
nothing earthly about the subject
The result is that we have no good
textbook on anatomy. We will have
one soon, however Professor Monro
is going to write one.' This Pro,
fessor Monro was so lazy that he was
in the habit of usiug his grandfathers
lectures, written more than a hundred
years before his day, and students
were electrified by hearing him lin
1929 and 193O) drawl out "When |
was in Padna in 1894" This was the
signal for fun, and showers of peas
descended on Monros head, who could
never understand what it was all
about. There is also a story of
Scotch servant, who, when asked how
''his lordship' Il. e. his mastery was,
answered, 81 hope he's weel." He
was in fact dead, but the old servitor
was too cautious to commit himself, in
his opinion, as to his condition.
Among other drinking anecdotes and
sayings is that Of an old worthy, who
used to say, "whisky's a bad thing"
and then, as if to qualify such dang
erous sentiment, added, Especially
bad whisky"
