place in the ranks awaits you.
Each man has some part to play,
And the past and the future are looking
In the faca Of the stern 70 dav -

How sad. if like some giddy butterfly
, that floats from flower to flower all through
its brief little life, we had hut one to-day.
The pretty things give MS our emblem of
Immortality, ard die, leaving us to enjoy
the resurrection of to-day in the near birth
Of tomorrow. "Perhaps the charm of to-
morrow lies hidden in that pulling old
paradox which has so often bew ldered
childish brains. | mean that which tells us
tomorrow never comes No day, be it
ever so glad, equals the glory we dream of
in our coming tomorrow. We are always
going to be better, brighter. happier, richer
in both friends and estate, wiser and never
sadder. IT'S distance lends enchantment to
the view"
1t may be well for us that the dream is
never quite fulfilled; theIntve shonld have
nothing more for which to lock and labor
Young and old, our occupation would be
gone.' We who stand here tonight on the
debatable frontier line that separates child
hood from womanhood, wonld be very sorry
to abandon the anticipations which seem to
be trOopng towards us, as we step into that
Canaan of delights
Each one of us, classmates, has growing
in some nook of her heart a pet desire,
which, under genial influence, will bloom
in joy and beauty" Though hope at
times may be nearly eXtingnished, let us re-
member, 8 Behind the Clouds the sun is ever
shining. Our fate is the common fate of all.
Into each life some rain must fall Let us
then not fear that life contains chill enough
to blight one noble, honest hope. And
that the golden thread of our lives may be
unbrOken, let lis weave together in harmony
the yesterday of childhood. the to-day of
girlhOOd, and the tomorrow OF womanhood.

Colonel Egerton Leigh recently called the
attention of the House of Commons to the
frequency OF wife beating among the British
lower classes, and the insufficency of the
punishment for the offence. Since few
weeks imprisonment has no terrors for the
wife-beater, Colonel Leigh suggested that
1ogging be made the penalty for assaults on
women. The suggestion will command the
warm approval Of most men, and the fact
that iogging put an end to garroting in
London shows that it is an efficient punish
ment in lettering men from. crime.

Out of the Jaws o. Death.

1t would be a fascinating though terrible
pen picture, says the Cincinnati Times, if
one could enter into and accurately portray
the feelings OF a man ander such crcum-
stances as Mccullough, clinging through
the better part Of last Monday to roc,
on the very verge of the Horseshoe Fall, at
Niagara.
TO realize the full horrors Of the situa-
ton, one must needs stand where the
painter fell on the gossamer bridge con
Meeting the last two of the "Three Sis
ters." There are few points about the falls
where you gain so overpowering an impress
sion of the ceaseless, relentless, irresistible
rush of the mighty rapids.
The funnel-shaped channel cOnverges to-
ward the bridge, and the waters rushing
with fearful rapidity must almost double
their speed and force to 90 through the mar
rowing space. Directly under the bridge
there is high ledge and over this sweeps
with absolutely terrifying force the majes-
tic volume of liquid emerald that bore the
old "Hermit' to his death one summers
morn. Falling into this torrent, the unfor-
tunate painter was swept with the rapidity
of thought past the Sisters, along the shore
of Goat ISLAND aud on toward the crest Of
the fall, catching by rare good fortune on
the rock which so lately held the well
known Terrapin Tower.
The imagination can hardly portray the
horrors of his situation through the livclong
day. The rush and roar of the mad waters,
the ceaseess thunder of the falls, the clouds
of spray that rose in ghostly shapes of
mighty spirits, the constant trembling of
the rock to which he chung, are elements of
a horrible scene that battles portrayal and
the bright sunshine playing over rock and
rapid, the numberess rainbows tinting each
crest of spray, and the clustering of excited
people SO far off as to seem like ants upon
the shore, heightened rather than detracted
from its terrors. The rescue too, must have
been as fearful as the peril. When a boat
was let down to Avery, many years since,
from the Goat Island bridge, the from nerves
which sustained the poor wretch through a
whole day gave way, and leaving his hold
of the rock moment too soon, he was swept
into eternity. So must the trial
upon McCullough's control have been terri
BILE. as the hero Conroy slowly neared him
He held out to the last, however, aud now
lives to narrate an experience that few in
habitants can boast of.

The old controversy between Admiral
(then captain) Wilkes. of the American Ex
ploring Expedition, and Sir James Ross, of
the British Navy, in regard to the existence
of an Antartic continent which Wilkes
claimed to have discovered will be revived
by the letter from Lie1t. Hynes, of the Chal
lenger, TO DR.. Hayes. Sir James Ross claimed
that he had sailed over the very spot where
Wilkes placed his Antartic continent, and
now Lieut.. Hynes asserts that the Challen
ger after faithfully searching for the same
curious continent, has failed to find it. Capt.
Wilkes ought to have taken means to anchor
his land safely, SO that it could not drift
away. What possible use is there in con
tinent which declines to remain in the same
position for any length of time'
