VITALITY OF A SHARKS HEART.-The
Providence Press tells this story, appro-
pos of a shark story in "Wide Awake y
written by DR.. J. T. Payne: s'He'describes
the capture of a shark and its dissection
At sea, and says that after the heart had
been removed from the body and placed
upon the deck, it kept up it's contractions
for period of twenty minutes or half an
hour, just the same as when in place and
performing it's office of pumping the blood
to the various parts of the bOdy.' We, in
company with the late Surgeon McGregor,
used to enjoy annually shark-6shing ex
cursion. One season we rendezvoused at
Edgartown, and fshed for the monster off
'Capoge.' We caught among others fel
low of splendid pluck and proportions, and
decided to dissect him. We landed him
upon an old wharf in Edgartown, about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, and proceeded in
true surgeons style. Weopened him; took
out his immense jaws, which, when opened,
passed over the extreme of our shoulders,
and afterward found his heart expanding
and contracting as if in life, though the
body was devoid of blood. We cut the
heart out, placed 1t upon an inverted iron
trY-kettle used by whalers, and proceeded
with our work. After we had fnished-it
was nearly dark-we took the jaw and the
heart, the latter still pumping, to our no.
tel, and placed the latter upon a stone
post, while we went in and had our supper.
we took lantern with US and examined
that marvellous heart again. It was still
contracting, though feebly, and it's last
culver, about $50 O'Clock, was merely
spasm. DR.. Payne's story is not es marvel
GUS as ours, and we vouch for its truthful
ness"

LEGEND IN ALsAcE.

Know'st thou, Gretchen, how it happens
That the dear ones die?
God walks daily in His garden,
While the sun shines high;
In that garden there are roses,
Beautiful and bright,
And he gazes round; delighted
With the lovely sight;
If He marks one gaily blooming,
Than the rest more fair,
He will pause and gaze upon it,
Full of tender care;
And the beauteous rose He gathers,
In his bosom lies
But on earth are tears and sorrow,
For dear one dies.

" Many" Mr.. Breary states, "are
now working at the problem in

partly from want of protection by

His bats swooped down upon the

rose and fell in graceful motion as
they traversed the air from the plat

swerying to the right or left, bob

not in this way men go to war.
Poor men may be deceived, poor
women may be induced to help
swell the fund, but hardly an Irish
man who has a home of his own
takes any stock in the threats and
hints which Rosa makes, or con.
tributes to his treasury. His recent
trip to Toronto was characteristic.
No man fit to lead a great move
ment would have been guilty of
such a piece of consummate folly.
He is an unsafe, a dangerous coun-
sellor. Rather let Irishmen listen
to their gallant Shields: "No inva-
sions of Canada, no secret societies,
no conspiracies, no tomfooleries. "
That is a wiser platform. Let us
hope it may be accepted by his
countrymen. Rosa and his fund
would make about as much impress
sion on England as bumblebee on
a stone wall. Those who believe
Ireland should be free, and hope to
see her free, will do nothing to en-
courage such a man in his work.

prevent the sacrifice.
Speaking Of the ten plaques with
which God afflicted Egypt, he said
the snake made by the astrologers
out of a cane in imitation of Moses

answered:
You know, brethren, they is
awful plaques" whereat there was a
ripping sound of laughter. The
locusts that plagued the Egyptians
were not the buzz-aies we know by
that name. He recited with great
JUNCTION and with responsive echoes
from his colored auditory, the He
brew song Of triumph after they
passed the Red sea. The harlot
who rescued the two Hebrews sent
to jericho to spy out the land "was

His illusions to his postulate,
"The sun do move" were those

God created all things, if the Greek
language was correct. A thorough,
genuine education was very good,
but not as good as the inspired
Word of God, and he would cleave
to that. 81 am here" he said, ''to

"Some folks say they amt no hell
Now if there amt something mighty

convincing an argument that
Brother Jasper concluded his dis
course with it. The choir sang
and benediction preceded the
separation of the crowd.
During his discourse such re.
