Cape Breton Driving.

Our conveyance was a 0ne-horse
wagon, with one seat. The horse was
well enough, but the seat was narrow
for three people, and the entire estab-
lishment had i'll it not much prophecy
of Baddeck for that day. But we knew
little of the power of Cape Breton driv-
ing. Ii became evident that we should
reach Baddeck soon enough If we could
cling to that wagonseat. The morning
sun was hot. The way was so unlnter-
esting that we almost wished ourselves
back in Nova Scotia. The sandy road
was bOrdered with discouraged ever
greens, through which we had glimpses
of sand-drifted farms. If Baddeck was
to be like this, we had come on fool S
errand. There were some savage, low
hills, and the Judique Mountain showed
itself as we got away from the town.
In this first stage, the heat of the sun,
the monOtony of the road, and the scar
city of sleep during the past thirty-six
hours, were all unfavorable to our keep
ing on the wagon-seat. We nodded
separately, we nodded and reeled in
unison. But asleep or awake, the driver
drove like a son of Jehu. Such driving
is the fashion on Cape Breton Island.
Especially dOwn-hill, we made the most
of it; if the horse was on a run, that
was only an inducement to apply the
lash; speed gave thepromise of greater
possible speed. The wagon ratified like
a bark mill it swirledandleaped about,
and we finally got the exciting impress
sion that if the whole thing went to
pieces, we should somehow go On-such
was our impetus. Round corners, over
ruts and stones, and up hill and down,

The Living Fire.

When night fell on jerusalem, and
the tide and hum of business had ceased
and one after another the lights were
extinguished, and all fires quenched in
the sleeping city, one was kept alive
the fire that burned on Gods holy
altar. 1T shall not be put out" Fed
by such logs as blazed on the hearths
and roared in the chimnevs of Olden
times, yet this had not been kindled by
mans hands, or blown into flame by
his breath. Like Gods love in lost
world, or His wrath on the head of His
dying Son, it had descended from the
skies. There came it Is said, when
Aaron and his sons were offering their
first sacrifice, fire out from before the
Lord and consumed the burnt-otfering
and the fat, which, when the people
saw they shouted and fell on their
faces" Whether slumbering in its
ashes or flaming with the fat of sacrifi-
ces, the fire burned up night and day
on the altar, nor was it till after the
lease of nearly thousand years that it
went out-quenched, kissing in the
blood of priests who fell in defence of
the temple at the first captivity. Now
in that old altar on which the sacred
fire was always burning, but where
sacrifices were not always offering, we
see the heart of a devout believer. He
is not always praying; but within His
bosom there is heaven-kindled love,
fires of desire, fervent lOngings, which
make Him always ready to pray and
often engage Him in prayer. And thus
he who engages in devOut meditations,
and holds communion with God through
His word and also through His works,
may, in respect of his habitual prevail
ing frame of mind, as well as of his
frequent prayers be said to pray with
out ceasing," always to pray" he is
like an Eolian harp, on whose strings,
by night or day, the wind has but to
breathe to wake up sweet and plaintive

Real Meaning Of the Bankrupt
Law.

A correspondent of the Providence
Journal thinks that in the present state
of business it may be q relief to the
community to know what the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided
the bankrupt law to mean with refer
ence to sales and mortgages made by a
person who, within six months after,
goes into voluntary or involuntary
bankruptcy. In the case OF Tiffany
against Lucas, the court says that ''all
sales are not forbidden. The interdic-
ton applies to sales with a fraudulent
object, not to those with an honest pur-
pose. 1t is for the interest of the COM
munity that every one should continue
his business, and avoid, if possible,
going into bankruptcy; and yet how
could this result be obtained if the
privilege we're denied person who was
unable to command ready money to
meet his debts as they fell due, by
making fair disposition of his prop
erty in order to accomplish this object.
1t is true he may fail, Notwithstanding
all his efforts, in keeping out of bank
ruptcy, and in that case any sale he has
made within six months of that event is
subject to examination.
Two things must concur to bring the
sale within the prohibition of the law
The fraudulent design of the bankrupt
and the knowledge of it on the part of
the vendee, or reasonable cause to be-
lieve that it existed"

A Comedy OF Errors.

A good many years ago, In ermOnt
country village, lived two gentlemen
who looked very much alike. One was
minister, and the other violin
player, whose gifts and skill were at
that day in much request. This posi-
ton of things gave rise to the following
comedy of errors"
As the minister was one day leisurely
walking the streets, a couple of negroes
approached him. One of them remarked
to the other:
"Dat's him now-I know him, for Use
seen him often"
"Well, speak to him 'den," says the
other.
"No, Pete, you speak to him."
Noticing that they wished to hold
some intercourse with him, the dominic
turned round and said:
''DO you wish to speak to me I"
"Yes, sar; we want to know IT you be
particularly engaged next Monday
evening ~
"No, l believe not" replied Mr.. N,
the idea of a wedding fee presenting
itself, which was not to be Sighted on
account of the color of the parties;
what is it you wantf'
1--WE want you, If you are 'customed
to 'ficiate for colored persons who
are willing to pay, next Monday even
| ing, to the Red House near the toll
gate"
'Oh, yes. It's not my practice to
refuse any one on such occasions.
At what hour do you wish me to
come 7"
early candle-light, massa, if You
please. We've not had anything of the
kind in good while"
Every well I'll be there replied the
dominic as he turned upon his heel
thinking that the remark that they had
nothing of the kind in good while
meant that no wedding had transpired
among them in some time.
True to his appointment, dominic n.
was at the house designated in good
season. The door opened into the
principal room of the house, around
which sat some twenty or thirty of
Africa's sable children, dressed in their
best. According to the instructions
they have received from one of their
number, they all rose at his entrance.
He took a preferred seat, which was
behind little desk at one end of the
room, for moment, and then re-
marked, if the parties were all ready
they had better Immediately take their
places.
In a moment all was hustle and con-
fusion. While some removed the chairs
from the room, eight couple formed as
if for quadrille. The dominic stared
round in utter amazement, when he
who had been spokesman in engaging
him at the village few days before,
coming up to him, his mouth grinning
from ear to ear, said:
"Massa Fuse, haben't you brought
your fiddle with you7 We haben't got
one here"
"Fuse! Fiddle! What do you mean7"
exclaimed the dominic, the whole
affair beginning to dawn on his already
quick mind. "Isn't it to be we'd
ding ?"
20, no, Massa Fuse; we should hab
the dominic here fust, if we hab a we'd
ding"
The dominic saw at glance that he
had been sold, and simply giving his
name and occupation, which had about
the same effect on the darkies as if a
bOmbshell had suddenly dropped
among them,he rushed from the house.

An Improved Illuminating Gas.
The London Mninn Journal of q |;

The London Mining Journal of late
date speaks highly of an apparatus re-
Gently devised and tested in London for
the manufacture of Illuminating gas.
1t is devised as simple in construction,
yet of extraordinary efficacy in accom-
plishing its work of doubling the volume
of gas now obtained from given amount
of coal, rendering the gas of much
higher Illuminating power, while Its
purity is increased, the process also
etfecting a great saving in labor. The
virtue of the process Is In saving much
of the refuse which now goes to waste,
decOmpOsing it and uniting the cOnsti-
tuents with the gas given off by the
usual process of roasting the coal in the
retOrt. Three retOrts of iron or clay,
though greater number may be en-
ployed if required, are placed in the
ordinary manner in a setting, and coal
is charged in to the bottom one, the
next retort being filled with chalk, and
the upper one with coke. The three are
connected, so that the gas eliminated in
the lower one is made to pass through
the chalk and coke retOrts and finally
after leaving the coke into the hydraulic
main. The gas as it issues from the
bottom retOrt, coming through the incan-
descent chalk in the intermediate retOrt,
has its constituents, tar and ammOnical
water, lost in its usual process, converted
into illuminating gas. A steam boiler
heated by the same furnace which Is
used for the retorts (and the fuel for
which may he said TO cost nothing) Is
placed alongside, and is conveyed from
it into the intermediate retOrt through
a pipe placed i'll the fire and of sufficient
length to thoroughly decomp0se the
steam, resolving il into its gaseous con-
stituents, which act as carrying gases.
This drives the tar and liquor out of the
chalk, the carrying gases and the dry
steam reabsorbing them and carrying
forward the highly illuminating proper
ties they are known to possess. The
coal-gas and water-gas combined then
pass through the incandescent coke in
the top retort, where the steam, having
facilitated the union of all the illumi-
mating elements eliminated from the
coal, passes on. Tests made at tempo
rary works show that the Illuminating
power is greatly increased, while the
gas is almost wholly free from sulphur
and without ammonia. The labor is
diminished One-half, and part of the
plant and apparatus is dispensed with,
so that the cost of works is essentially
cheapened, and the wearand tear greatly
reduced. Coal gas consumers will re-
joice that they are to be freed from the
chronic evil of poor gas, and have a
material Tightening of gas bills.

Love of the Beautiful.

Place a young girl under the care of a
kind-hearted, graceful woman, and she
unconsciously to herself grows into a
graceful lady. Place boy in the estab-
lishment of thorough going, straight
forward business man, and the boy be-
comes self-reliant, practical, business
man. Children are susceptible crea-
lures, and circumstances, and scenes.
and actions always impress. AS you
influence them, not by arbitrary rules,
nor by stern example alone, but in a
thousand other ways that speak through
beautiful forms, pretty pictures, &c,
so they will grow. Teach your children,
then, to love the beautiful. If you are
able, give them corner in the garden
for flowers; allow them TO have their
favorite trees; teach them to wander in
the prettiest woOdlets; show them where
they can best view the sunset; rouse
them in the morning, not with the stern
'Time TO work." but with the enthusi-
astic "See the beautiful sunriser Buy
for them pretty pictures, and encourage
them to decorate their room in his or
her childish way. Give them an inch,
and they will go mile. Allow them
the privilege, and they will make your
! home pleasant and beautiful.

The Last Words OF the Dying.

The last words of the dying are
eagerly sought after, and enshrined in
memory's bosom, by loved ones. The
hero, standing upon the field of battle,
amid the booming of cannon and the
rattle of musketry, is stricken down,
and, diving. he utters some sentiment,
which tells the living he fought
bravely, and died loving his country.
His words, thus uttered, are chanted in
his praise, pass Immediately into his
tory, aud are preserved TO be handed
down from generation to generation.
The mother, bending over the couch
of her diving child, eagerly listens for
its last words. As the hearts pulsa-
uOns grow feeble, the resplratlons
become more laborious, she silently
listens. Now the pale lips are parted,
and she draws nearer, until her ear
comes in contact with the cold breath,
when she catches the last faint murmur
of the dying one. Oh, how she treas
ures in her pure heart that last Good
bye" that last token OF going home to
heaveni
The husband, through weary days
and nights, has been watching at the
bedside of his darling wife, until, now,
the dread moment approaches when she
shall be waited beyond the river OF
death. Under no pretence will he now
leave her, and why 7 All, he is waiting.
and listening, for the last whisper. As
she speaks, her words echo and re-echo
through the chamber of his soul, and
remain there throughout the mystic
future.
AS a young lady reads over the list
of the slain in battle, and her weeping
eyes rest upon the name of her lover,
almost herfirst thought is, did heleave
me dying message n
The sweet sister of shipwrecked
brother impatiently awaits the arrival
of some one rescued from the wreck, to
learn if her brother, as he was swept
beneath the dark waves, sent her dy-
ing word.
Yes, dying words are those most
sought after and cherished by the hu-,
man heart. Amid all the cares and
disappointE,ents that may surround us
in life, we never can forget the last
faint whisperings of the dying.

Closely I've chung to Christ through all
Mindless how rough the path might lie,
Since he will smooth 1t by and by'
