TROUBLE WITH THE HYmEs.

In one Of the negro churches the other
night, strange to relate, the parson read
out curiously metred hymn, which
didn't jingle with any tune known to the
congregation. One Of the leaders started
out from about latitude 45, but failed.
An old darkey in the corner rose up and
said:
Parsou, I'm purity sartin kin reach TO
both ee nds o. them varses
Brudder ----- will raise de time an
nounced the parson.
And then the old man set out on a
Wild career with series Of screeches
and belIowings like unto the steam piano
Of circus when the engineer is drunk.
Hold up, brudder; for de sake OF de
psalmin' angels, stopl cried toe frantic
pArson, and when the old man and con-
gregation had been quoted, be solemnly
announced:
DE singing oh de Lords praise will be
adjoIned 10 de next meetin' night and
the sermon went on.

Marshal Valiant aud others have On

becomes important, therefore, to test,
by experiment, the two theories
The argument of the case for Nj.

when warm and hurried wind comes

since the air Of forests is colder and
more hurried than tho open. rain

The experiments were conducted IN

height Of about twenty feet above u

Of six mpntls the records showed
that during the first six months OF
1874 more rain foll in the forest
during each month than in the open
field. The total rainfall in tho forest
WAS u inches the total rainfall iii
the open field was a fraction less
than seven inches Tho difference
in degree of saturation of the air was
in favor of tho forest during elch

the six months was about one one-

Tho experiments are to be continued.
They indicate that forests constitute
vast conlcnsiug apparatuses. AMI tho
conclusion is one which has already

more rain falls on wooded land than

The lnfidel and His Daughter.

The damps Of death are coming fast,
My father Ger my brow ;s-.,. -....-
The past with all its scenes has aed,
And must turn me now
To that dim future, which in vain,
My feeble eyes deery,
Tell the, my father, in this hour,
In whose stern face TO die.
To thine : I've watched the scornful smile
And heard thy withering tone,
Wheue 'er the Christians humble hope
Was placed above thine own;
I've heard thee speak " comming death.
Without shade Of gloom.
And laugh st all the childish fears
IS That cluster round The tomb.
Or. is IL my mothers faith
How foujly do trance.
Through many weary long year past,
That calm and sanity face
How often 10 coll TO mind.
Now she is meath the sod.
The place. the hour, in which she drew
My early thoughts TO God
Twas then she took this s,crei book.
aui from iis burning page,
Read how it's truths support the soul.
In youth and failing age
And bade me in its precepts live,
And by its prcccp's die,
That might share home Of love
ln worlds beyond the sky.
My father, shall look above,
Amid this gathering gloom.
To Him whose promise ut love
Extend bcyo the tomb
Or, curse the being who hath blessed
This checkercd path Of mine,
AMI promises eternal rest
And die, my sire, in thine
The frown upon that warrior brow
Passed like cloud away.
Aud tears coirsed down the rugged check
That howci not Till that day,
"Not, not. iu mine, with choking voice.
The skeptic made reply.
"Bnt, in thy mothers holy faith.
My daughter, may'st thou die"
