The last halfof the Table Rock at Niagara
broke off on May "a, and fell into the river.
The mass weighed nearly sixty tons, and
up to 1876 the names of over four thousand
visitors had been carved upon it. The part
which recently fell was only half the origi-
nal rock, the rest having fallen many years
ago. On January /, 1920, surface Of the
rock, supposed 10 be the size Of half an
acre, forming the bed of Maiden Walk,
broke loose, and was precipitated into the
immense chasm below. The crash was
heard for distance of five miles, aud the
effect in the immediate neighborhood re-
sembled the shock of su earthquake. The
water running under the bank is supposed
to have caused the recent fall, and the shock
when the rock struck the water was dis
tinctly felt for three miles from the fall.
Several of the trees which stood on the rock
are now seen standing in the river as erect
as when in their original places on the rock.
When the rock shelved off from the bank,
at distance of twenty feet from the top,
can be seen the root ofa tree estimated 10
bs two feet In diameter.

LYMAN ABDoTT writes as follows of the
late Rev. j. S. c. in the Christian Union:
"Mr. Abbott was the most indefatigable
worker 1 ever knew. During the last
twenty years of his life, and my personal
recollection of his work does not run much
farther back, he was both preacher and au-
thor. He preached twice on the Sabbath,
lectured once to his people during the
week, aud at the same time furnished an
average of two volumes year TO the press,
besides occasional and not infrequent con-
tributions to the papers. Some of the Sc
crets of his achievements were open Sc
crets.' He was all his life long exceeding
ly temperate in his habits. He never
drank ardent spirits; his food was always
of the simplest description he was light
and never self-indulgent eater; and he
abhorred late hours. He generally rose
early, and often had accom- plished good
two hours work before the rest OF the
world was up. He went into his study af-
ter breakfast and continued there till din
ner. After dinner he found kind OF re-
Taxation in a change of employmenti
walked or sometimes rode out, calling on
his parishioners, and finding in this social
interchange, which to most pastors is la
borious though enjoyable duty, his rest
recreation. 1t was his rule not to work af-
ter tea but this rule was like those OF
Greek grammar, it had more exceptions
than examples. He was an assiduous stu
dent; but he never accumulated library.
He used a book as bee does flower, took
the honey out of it aud then left 1t. In his
work of composition he was accustomed to
read upon the topic till he was thoroughly
familiar with it. Then, closing his eyes,
he would, by a rare power of historic imag-
inatlon, transport himself into the scene
which he was about to describe, and paint
with his pen what he had seen in mental
yisiop,n

BRATTLEBORO, VT, FRIDAY, JULY ID, 1877.

81 promised and wrote the letter. II con-
sisted of only three lines:
"I have been dangerously i'll, aud wish
TO see you Immediately. Come TO me at
the address of this letter by return train"
sealed and directed this letter, and left
Mr. Carroll 10 his meditations. 1t was not
before Meta stole in softly, and opening
the piano pleaded pardon for any pain she
had inflicted, In the sweetest of music
though she did not trust her voice to sing.
The next day our boarder was much bet.
ter, and after dinner sent Meta to a dairy
some distance from home to buy pot cheese
from woman there, famous for the prep
aration of that article. Dusk was creeping
over us when she returned cold and rosy
from her walk in the sharp air.
She came at once TO the sitting room,
where Mr.. Carroll was watching for her,
and was sewing quietly.
"Did you get the cheese2" asked the old
gentleman.

somo in the morning"

mans whim."

not successful"
"Meia-Meta, think once more of what /
said TO you yesterday. Can you think
moro fayorably of the home of which l
told your"
"No," very softly shrinking from giving
pain.
mot if the devoted husband awaiting
you were to plead more eloquently than
cam Listen at least 10 his plea"
And from the next room where we had
hidden him, Gerald came with outstretched
arms TO plead his own cause. There were
a few moments of quiet ecstasy, during
which sewed through mist of happy
tears, and our boarder blew his nose noisi-
ly.
Then he spoke:
"Yes, my dear, this is the husband l
mentioned-my nephew. My full name is
John Carroll Wharton, and this young
scapegrace is my heir. When found no
threats Of mine could shake his constancy,
resolved to visit the home of his lady
love and see If was prejudiced old
wretch after all. You wrote me OF ce that
you would never marry Gerald unless at
my solicitation. My dear, please FOR my
sake, take pity on bis lovelorn condition,
and exchange his dolorous signs for smiles.
Marry hIm Meta, and still let me have a
corner in that home you rejected so decid-
edly yesterday, but over which 1 hope to-
day you will consent to preside"
And Meta consented, going to Albany to
live with Gerald, his happy bonored wife,
but no less the very pride and joy Of that
eccentric individual, our only boarder.

An african Belle in Full Costume.

In one tribe through whose territory he
passed after leaving Tanganyika, Lieu
tenant Cameron found the women much
more regarded than is usual among Afri-
cans, aud consequently they were much
more fashionable than the rest of their
sex in that happy country. One of the
bellies Of the country is thus described in
Cdme,Oa's Journal "She is q merry sort
of person, this Mrs. Packwanywa, and
really ladylike in her manners. 1t was
great fun showing her looking glass.
She had never seen one before, and was
half afraid of it, and ashamed to show she
WAS afraid. She is a very dressy body,
double rows of cowries round her head,
beside copper, iron, and ivory ornaments
stuck in her hair, and just above and in
front of each ear tassel of red and white
beads. A large necklace ofshels was round
her neck, and round her waist string of
opal colored singomazzi, and rope
made of strings of red beads. Her front
apron was a leopard skin, and the rear
one of colored grass cloth, with its fringe
strung with beads, and cowries sewed on
it in a pattern; bright iron rings were
round her ankles and copper and ivory
bracelets ON her arms. Her hair was
shaved little back from her forehead,
and three lines, each about quarter of
an inch wide, were painted below. The
nearest one to the hair was red, the next
black, and the next white; and, to crown
all, she was freshly anointed with oil,
and IOokp1 sleek and ahinv Her MINER
lip was perforated, and piece of stone
inserted, until the lip protruded couple

The Wisest of Precautions.

OF precautions. the wisest Is that which 10
taken against disease. There is safety in
timely medication; great peril in delay. One
malady often begets others far more danger
GUS, and II 1t does not, any abnormal condi-
ton has tendency, II unremedied, to be-
come chronic and obstinate. Trihng disor-
ders of the stomach, liver, bowels or urinary
organs may speedily develop into formida-
BILE maladies. Check them at the outset
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which, al
though it is wonderfully effective in over
coming disorders OF long standing, is, like
any other medicinal preparation, more ad-
vantageous in the infancy OF the maladles
to which it Is adapted than after they have
become chronic. Among these are dyspep-
sia, liver complaint, constipation, intermlt-
nervous and general debility, and urinary
troubles. The Bitters are capital appetiz-
er, induce sound repose, and counteract the
effects of fatigue and exposure.
