IF you ask what do we know about

IF you ask what do we know about
the other world, we. are obliged to re-
ply that we know very little about it,
1t is very evident that we are not in
tended to know much about it. Tt
would perhaps take our thoughts too
far away from our duties here. This
is our sphere while we remain in it.
Every day we are to prepare not for
death but for life, for if we live well
and wisely here we may certainly
trust God as to the hereafter. / Think,
however, we are able to say this
much, that death when it shall come
must be considered not bad thing
but good thing. This we know
about death, that we are to go to an
other mansion in the house of the
same Father. No doubt there will be
a variety in the other life: progress
will always be there, and faith, hope
and love- James Freeman Clarke.

rock in order to take aim the driver
drew a bead, pulled trigger, knocked
the Indian dead, aud saved the life OF
Mr.. Lotus.

CURIOUS FAcls OF mIsCEGENAr1oN

The child of colored parents of diff
ereul tint, such rs quadroon aud uu-
Iatto and black, will be nearer the
tint Of the darker parent. If both par
cnis are of the same color, says an au-
thority Of such matters, the child will
be shade darker, and, singularly
enough, the second child will be da .
or than the first, the third darker than
the second. and SO on to the last. In
other words, colored community, left
to itself, il fatally destined to return
to the original African black after q
IL tied number Of generations. Thus,
while each new alliance with an indi-
vidual OF pure Caucasian blood brings
the negro step near to the white
standard, the reverse is the case the
moment the Caucasian clements with
held, and the color rotrogrades from
light to dark. A curious proof of this
is found in observations made during
some time in one of the islands. A
mulatto woman had o female child by
white man; this young girl gave
birth to quadroon by white father,
and this recrossing with the white
race was kept up six generations AS
identical process of recrossing had
been simultaneously noticed in anoth-
er plantation. Phe children resulting
from the seventh crossing in both
these families were of remarkable
physical beauty; they had blonde
hair, their complexion was of such
transparent fairness that they might
have been taken for Albinos, but for
the vigor and gracefuness of their
limbs and their brilliant intellect. The
most experienced eye could not detect
in them the slightest indication of
their African origin. They intermar-
ried. Their children were dark com
plexioncd, and the children of their
children are very dark muattoes.
This inexorable law Of why Creoes
refuse to intermarry with families who
have the tinge Of negro blood in their
veins, though their skin may be as
fair as that of Europeans. The Gre
oles wish their posterity to remain
what they themselves are-white.

they supposed to be the burning of
timber During the forenoon of the
same day man working at the Gam

the safety OF the mill, went down. and
found that the fire fend had done its
work. Not only the mill was con-
sumed, but the blacksmith shop, tram

oi the mining timbers and one hun
dred and forty cords OF wood. The
cost OF the mill, with the other prop
