that men were descended from
monkeys, but had gone far toward
persuading me that he and social

the present generation of English
men very near to monkeys. A
good sort of man is this Darwin,

in a purblind fashion, and finding

A Cincinnati editor, himself

says: cit is noticeable that with
the arrival of the second baby

as on the arrival OF the first, that
it is the most wonderful thing in
the United States, not excepting
the Constitution and the Fiji

the family register is numbered
with the patronymic of the sixth

THE sAISTED DEAD.

They are our treasures-Changcless and
shining treasures. Let us look hopefully
Not lost, but gone before. Lost to earth
but not to us. When the earth Is dark
then the heavens are bright. When the
objects around become indistinct and inviz-
ible in the shades of night, then objects
above us are more clearly seen. So l. the
night of sorrow and mourning; it settles
down upon US like lonely twilight at the
grave of our friends; but then already they
shine on high. While we weep they sing.
While they are with lie upon earth, they lie
upon our hearts rcfrcshingly, like the dew
upon the flowers; when they disappear, it l.
by Power from above that has drawn
them upward, and though lost on earth,
they shall float in the skies. Like the
dew that Is absorbed from the fowerz.
they will not return 10 US, but like the
flowers themselves, we viii die, vet only
to bloom again in the Eden above Then
those whom the heavens have absorbed
and removed from Us, by the sweet attrac-
ton of their love, made holier and low
lier in light, will draw toward us again
by holy affinity, and rest on our hearts a.
before. They are our trcasures-Ioviug
trcasures-the Saintcd Dead.

PEARLS By THE WAYsIDE.
WHAT IS LIFE?

The mere lapse of years is not life. To
eat and drink and sleep; to be exposed to
the darkness and the light; to pace round
in the mill of habit and turn thought into
an implement of trade-this is not life. In
all this, but poor fraction of the conscious
ness of humanity is awakened, and the sane
titles still slumber which make it worth
while to be. knowledge, truth, love, beauty,
goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to
the mechanism Of existence The laugh
that yibrates through the heart, the tears
that freshen the dry taste within, the music
that brings childhood back, the prayer that
calls the future near, the doubt that makes
us meditates, the death that startles Us with
mystery, the hardship that forces US to
struggle, the anxiety that ends in trust
are the true nourishment of our natural
being
