Master drumming, children coming
Into SCHOOL,
Tip-toed figures reach the catch,
Tiny fingers click the LATCH,
Curly headed girls thrOng in

Breezy boys bolt in together,
Bringing breaths of winter weather,
Bringing baskets Indian-checked,
Dinners in them sadly wrecked.
Ruddy-handed, mittens oil,
Soldiers rush from the Malakotf-
Built of snow and marble white,
Bastions shining In the light,
Marked with many a dint and dot

The LIFE TO COME.-What does a
man take with him when from the eX-
treme verge of life he launches into what
lies beyond2 Itlooks as he took moth
ing. Death seems to pass a sponge over
all that has gone before. Be it the end,
or be it a new beginning 1t seems Il
total breaking off from all that life has
hitherto consisted in That is what
makes it terrible.
But if we look at it truly, his past life
is lust the one that a man does take with
him when he dies. He takes himself.
And that self is the product of all his
past experience and actions. As an oak
bears in itself the result of every shower
that through long years has freshened it,
of every gale that has toughened it or
stripped its boughs, of sunshine that has
fed it and the drouth that has parched
it, so nun, when he stands at the end
of life, is what he has been made by all
his joys, and sulIsrings, aud actions.
That is what he takes into the other
world-hS own character.
The life to come and the life that now
is, are parts of one another. They are
related. The man is not the same that
the boy was, but what the boy was, en-
tered into the mar as a part of him.
The strength we gain by our victories
this year, and the weakness into which
we come by defeat, will be a part of Us
next-year So there is not an act, not a
word but casts its influence forward into
the tomorrow that lies beyond death.

MAKTyG BOXES. The Swiss have a
clever way OF making cheap boxes with
out the use of nails, the mitred sides
being fastened together by wedge shaped
pieces of wood. in English inventor
has recently patented another process
which Iaay D- used for heavy as well as
light boxes. The two pieces of wood to
be fastened together are first .iIitred in
the ordinary way, and hole is then
drilled in each piece vertically from the
bottom upward, at Il short distance from
the mitred edge. a channel or groove
is then cut by a saw or otherwise from
the mi red edge to the drilled hole. This
channel is of less width than the diane
ter of the hole, and may be eqt either
parallel to the sides of the piece OF wood
or at right angles to the mitred edge, so
that when the two edges are pat to-
getiier there shall be a continuous chan
mel from one side to the other, shaped
somewhat ike dumb bell, and running
from the top to the bottom of the box.
A KEY is formed by running a fusibIe
metal, such as lead, into this channel
The key may BE- made separately of solid
metal and driven into the channel; but,
in either way, a joint is formed which
can be broken only by tearing away the
mitTed edges of the wood.
How 4 CAT Woy A WAGER A mum
Der OF persons met in the American
House billiard saloon last night, when a
man came in with cat in his arms. A
momentary wonder was expressed as to
what the eompanionslIip meant, as men
are not in the habit of going about with
eats in their arms. The observers had
not long to wait, as the cat-carrier ex-
claimed: ''Bet anybody this eat will
carry bottle of ale ten feet" Some
body, either doubling that pussy would
perform the feat or willing to see it done,
took the bet. Two chalk lines were
made on the floor, the bottle was pro-
duced, and the performance began.
The bottle was placed on one mark, and
the cat was to carry it to the other.
Seizing the animal by the tail, the man
hung her head down over the bottle.
Obeying a known impulse, the cat
grabbed the bottle tightly with her fore
feet. The man walked over the chalk
mark, and the cat, clingiDg desperately
to the bottle, carried it along the floor
to the specified distance. The wager
was won Miners Journal.

SnFdag Asading.
Promises.

Some of the promises OF God are like
the almond tree, which hastily blossoms
in the very early spring There are 9th
ers which resemble the Mulberry tree,
which is slow in putting forth its leaves.
Then what is man to do if he has a
mulberry-tree promise which is late in
blossoming2 Why, he is to wait till it
does blossom. If the vision tarry, wait
for it till it comes, and the appointed
time shall surely tring it.-SpUrStolC.
Gods promises are dated, but with a
mysterious character; and, for want of
skill in Gods chronology, we are prone
to think God fOrgets Us, when, indeed,
We ourselves in being 50 bold to set God
a time of our own, and in being angry
that he comes not just then to u.s.
GUmdU
God may sometimes delay his PROMISE,
but he will not deny it. He may some
times change it, but he will not breakit
-WGtSon.
Every promise is built upon four pill
lars. Gods justice and holiness, which
will not suffer him to deceive; his grace
or goodness, which will not suffer him to
forget; his truth, which will not suffer
him to change; his power, which makes
him able TO aecompIish.-SGlter.
Gods promises never meant to ferry
our Iaziness. Like a boat, they are to
be rowed by oars, but many men enter
ing forget the oar, and drift down more
helpless in the boat than if they had
staid on land. There Is net an expert
enee in life by whose side God has not
fixed a promise. There is not a trouble
so deep and swift running, that we may
not cross safely over, if we have courage
to steer, AMI strength to pull.-Beeeher.
Gods promises are a defense against
mans threatenings. The promises of
the gospel are sealed to US by the word
of the Father, the blood of the Son, and
the witness of the Spirit.

The MINERALS OF THE WoRLD.-The
aggregate value of all the minerals min
ed in the whole world amount at present
to 81, 900, 600, 900 per year; Of this coal
alone is worth nearly two-thirds, say
1866, 600, 900; the rest one third, or about
1888, 600, GOO. Gold stands at the head
of the list, the value of this metal min
ed per year being about 800, 900, 900;
next iron ore, being at present so, O0O,-
900; but Of no mineral is the production
50 largely Increasing as that Of iron, and
it will soon sufpass in value that of gold.
IL has increased during the last seven
years from IS to IS while the coal has
increased from IS to "a, and gold re-
manned about as it was. The produc-
ton of steel increased from IS TO "a,
proving the progress OF industry in gen
eral in which steel is the Inain agent.

further that every rat or mouse, if it
lived, would injnre property to the ex-
tent OF 81 sterling. If all this is true,
