THE NEXT WORLD.

The next world. There is some
thing very terrible to some minds in
the idea of leaving all they have en-
joyed and most valued, and going
away to the cold and silent grave.
They cannot bear it. They turn away
from the unwholesome thoughts that
would intrude themselves upon them.
They cannot bear to be alone-would
have anyone, no matter whom, with
them, rather than remain in solitude.
They strive to drive away the thought
which presses on them, reminding
them that the days are passing-pass-
ing; that the hour is approaching
when the soul and beay must part,
which time will be the shadow and
eternity the substance. 1t is with
the life of such as it is with ship
that passes over the waves of the sea,
which, when it is gone by, the trace
thereof cannot be found, neither the
keel in the waves. Or as when bird
has flown through tho air there is no
token of the way to be found, as
when an arrow is shot at mark it
parts the air, which Immediately
comes together again. So these pass
away like q shadow, their life great
mistake.

fair finger of her left hand, as if ii
stung her.
"Take this to bear them company! I"
she said. "I accept no divided hom-
age! AS for you. Miss Murray
turning to Kate-"you have acted like
a woman of spirit, and I honor you
and respect you for it I"
The male coquet sneaked out of the
Moreland House, feeling excessively
cheap and small, while Kate and Pa
thence cried in each others arms, for
they both liked him better than he de-
served.
'Never mind ;" said Kate: "It's like
having tooth out-hard, but whole
some."
"We shall get over this in time,"
sobbed Patience "for of course one
can never marry man whom one
despises."
Mr.. Appleton Arkwright secured a
new boarding-house at once. He did
not care again to meet the pretty
ooltcacher who had turned SO un-
expectedly upon him. But he had
lost his heires and Miss Murray has
the satisfaction of feeling that in this
particular instance she has vindicated
her sex.

CONTAGIoN OF FEAR.-A curious in
stance of the contagiousness of fear
was shown on a large scale in a fac
tory at New Hayen, the other day. A
number of girls employed began talk
ing about the frequency of sudden
deaths, and became quite sober in their
conversation, when one of them, more
lively than the rest. to change the CO, /.
versation, placed small land turtle,
which she had found somewhere, up
on the bench Of her neighbor, who,
seeing it. was SO startled that she
tainted away. This circumstance
coupled with their former cenversa-
ton, had such an effect upon the girls
that, one after another, they fell into
dcath-like stupor, until seven of them
were stretched upon the floor. One
of the men too, though evidently
against the contagion also
and the foreman becom-
ing alarmed, sent all hands from the
room and shut down work for the
day.
