Love for the Beautiful.

A woman went into a barber-shop on
G street some weeks ago and wanted to
know how much it would cost to dye a
mans hair and mustache. The price
was named, and she then asked the
barber to get his dye and follow her.
"Why can't the man come here?"
asked the barber.
"He's dead" replied the woman, " and
the last thing he said when he was pass
ing away was: Sally, fix me up pretty
for the funeral His hair curled beau
tifully, but was a little gray. It won't
look we'll to see woman crying round
a coffin with an old gray-bearded man
in it. Sol want him fixed up little.
He was always beauty when he had
his hair dyed. [ know I'd want mine
fixed that way if [ was gray and dead"
The barber dyed the dead mans hair
in the highest style of the art, and the
widow remarked, when it was all over,
that He was the loveliest corpse ever
buried on the Comstock." Virginia

Thrilling Adventure.

There is one English lady who has
had enough of Alpine climbing. Mrs.
Wainwright and her brother-in-law un-
dertook month ago the ascent of the
Piz Palur, mountain of the Bernina
group. They took with them two
guides, brothers-Hans Grass and
Christian Grass. The climbers were
corded together. Christian Grass went
first, next to him came Mr. Wainwright,
then came Mrs. Wainwright, and the
rear was brought up by Hans. A thick
fog came on. Christian went too near
an edge, when the snow suddenly gave
way under his feet, and he fell down a
precipice, dragging with him in his fall
the English lady and gentleman. But
the rope was strong, and Hans Grass
was man of gigantic strength. AS he
saw his brother disappear he threw him
self instinctively backward, and, by
sheer force of muscle and will, held the
three lost ones suspended in the air.
He was not strong enough to drag from
the abyss two men and woman. To
stir, to yield an inch even, might be
certain death to all-and they were far
beyond the reach of human aid. He
shouted to his brother, dangling at the
end of the rope, ice on both sides of
him, snow above him. The brother an
swered; he was alive, unhurt, and ready
to help if means could be devised
Hans told him to cling to the icy slope,
cut steps in it and mount, and be quick
about it, for he did not think he could
hold on more than half an hour longer
Mr.. Wainwright had kept his ak. He
handed it to Christian, and the guide
set about cutting the steps as Hans had
suggested. After almost superhuman
exertions, he contrived to crawl up to
the edge of the crevasse; his brother
gave him hand; then the two, uniting
their strength, pulled up Mrs. Vain
wright and her brother-in-law.

Repentance is flower that grows not in ma
full cultivation in our heart. How much better
to repent of a misdeed, receive pardon, and go
on through life rejoicing When asking pardon
for an act of wrong doing very few there are
who could answer: No, I'll never forgive !"
Evil as the human heart ever is, there are little
deeds of kindness which will melt the stoniest
Harsh words are of no avail, and are useless
commodity in the busy market of life, therefore

past, and if you please !" and alet ME do some
thing to aid you come in for their share of the
spOlls. Then repentance is unnecessary, and
all flows smoothly ON till the sea of life is swal-
lowed up in the ocean of eternity. Was one
ever made better by making cruel remark or
doing spiteful, bitter deed? Will it not reflect
on the actor sometime? Why must we ever be
doing something to regret, when it is so much
better and easier to do otherwise? I fear it is
because there is more evil than good prompting

over weak human nature it will so far gain as
tendency over us that the good will be entirely

life uncontaminated by their surroundings,
while others fall SO easily into the snares which
beset them. We praise the one when, perhaps,
they are not deserving, for it is no great tempta-
ton to them; while we blame and criticise the
other, and little know the battle that was fought
within, and the struggle before the voice of the
tempter was yielded to. Many things seem to
us wrong, but, if we inquire into the particu-
lars, they are just and proper. Let us exercise
charity to all, and blame no one till convinced
they are in error, and, even then, is it our place

Minister to England on the subject of the Hall

issue with the finding of the Halifax Commits

the manner in which it was rendered, holding
that the sum of $5,5C0,0O0 is IN outrageous
and utterly indefensible price to set
upon the benefits of twelve years of fishing
in Canadian waters, and that, if paid at
all by the United States, it must be regarded as
covering the value of those benefits in perpe-
tuity, and not for any term of years; and also
making the objection that the adoption of
this or any other award by the commits
sion by a bare majority is not in accordance
with the terms of that clause of the Washington
treaty providing for such commission, and
that the award is therefore not binding upon
this Government.

What the YeIIOW-Birds Eat.

A farmer wanted to borrow a gun
from neighbor to kill some yellow
birds in his field of wheat, which were
eating the grain. His neighbor declined
to lend the gun, for he thought the
birds useful. In order to satisfy his
curiosity he shot one of them, opened
his craw, and found in it 200 weevils
and four grains of wheat, and these four
grains the weevil had burrowed. This
was a most instructive lesson, and worth
