A Spsech Twenty Six Hours
Lcng.

The longest speech on record is be.
lisved to have been that made b. Mr.
DE Cosmos. in the Legislature of British
Columbia, when measure was pending
whose passage would take from great
many settlers their lands. De Cosmos
was In hopeless minority. The job had
been he'd back till thseve of the close of
the session. unless legislation was taken
before noon of a given day tie act of con-
fscation %ouldfaii, The Gay before the
expiration of the limitation De Cosmos 20.
the floor about ten A. NJ, and began a
speech against the bill. It's friends cared
little, for they supposed that by one or
two o'clock he would be through, aud
the bill could be put on its passage. One
o'clock came and Do Cosmos was speaking
stlll-hadn't more than entered upon his
subject. Two o'vlotk-Re was saving
"ln the second place" Three o'clock
he produced fearful bundle of evidence,
and ihsistsd on reading it. The majority
began to have suspicion of Vie truth
he was going to speak till next noon and
kill the bill. For a while they made
merry over it but, as it came On to dusk,
they began to get alarmed. They tried
Interruptions, but soon abandoned them,
because each one afforded him chance
to disgress and gain time.
They tried to shout MIN down, but tha.
gave him breathing space, and finally
they settled down to watch the combat
between strength Of will and weakness of
body. They gave him no mercy. No
adjournment for dinner no chancegto do
more than wet his lips with water; no
wondering from his subject; no sitting
down. Twilight darksned the gas was
lit; members slipped ont to dinner in res
lays, and returned to sleep in squads, but
DE Cosmos went on. The Speaker, to
whcm he was addressing himself, was al
ternately dczinr, snoring and trying to
look wide-awake. Day downed and the
majority slipped out in SquaA to and
wash, breakfast and the speaker held on.
1t can't be said it was very logical, eb,
qucnt, or sustained speach. There we're
disgressions in it, repetitions also. But
still the speaker kept on and at last noon
came to baflled majority, liyid with
rage and impotence, and single man,
who was triumphant, though his voice had
sank to husky shisker. his eyes were
almost shut, and were b'eared and blood
shot, bis legs tottered under him and his
baked lips sets cracked and smeared
with blood. De Cosmos had spOken
twenty. six hours, and sa7ed the settler
their lands!

your life. My name is Gum. As soon
as l heard you were unprotected, that
you had nothing on your life, thought
| would just run in and settle the thing
for you at once"
Then Smith got up, and went to the
other side of the table, and said to him
self: ITS lunatic who has broken out
of the asylum. He'll kill me if halloo
or run. must humor him."
You can choose your OWL plan you
know. It's immaterial to me. Some
like one way, and some like another
It's a matter Of taste. Which one do
you prefer"
I'D rather not die at all,' said Smith
in despair.
"But you've got to die, Of course"
said Gum, "that's thing there's no
choice about. All can do is to make
death easy for you; to make you feel
happy as you go of. Now, which plan
will you take?'

"But why do you want to murder me,

Facts From Scripture.

There were ten generations from Adam
to Noah. embracing period of l,o5G
years. Hlmech was of the ninth gener-
alton. He was Noah's father, and was
ttty>six years old when Adam died.
Therefore Lamech could communicate to
his son Noah all that Adam had commu-
nicated to him about the creation and the
fall. 1t was transmitted by Adam to
Lamech and by L'mech to Noah.
There were ten generations from Noah
to Abraham, embracing period of $50
years. Shom was Noah's son, aud Shem
lived long enough to talk with Abraham
sixty years, and could, therefore, com,
municate to him all that Lamech had told
Noah.
There were five generations from
Abraham to Moses, embracing period
or GOO years, Jacob was Abmham's grand.
son, aud lived long enough to tell Am,
ram, the father of Moses, all that he had
learned from bis grandfather Am5raham
Thus Moses became we'll informed upon
the history Of the creation and the fall by
a transmission. Of all tie details through
a chain of only four persons, and those
four were remarkable for their truth and
great wisdom,
These generations MI descended from
Seth, the cen cf Adam. There was
another line of eight generations who de.
sceuded from Cain, but who were al cut
off by the flood. In that line were some
remarable men, to whom we owe much
of our knowledge Of music and artiice in
metals, viz: Jubal and Tubal Cain. No
doubt the results of their skill a1d inven.
tons we're handed down to Noah and his
sons by succeeding generations.
Abraham had eight children-oue ty
Sarah, one by Hagar, aud six by Ketu-
rah. One Of these six was named Midian;
and it was his descendants and the dc.
scendents of [Shmael (anolber SOM who
sold Joseph to Putiphar. 1t seems that
the Midianites aud Ishmaelities we're
journeying together with caravan.
