DURABILITY or WOOD. D.-The durability
of timber out of ground, in certain in
stances, as compared even with some des-
criptions of stone and metal, is not gen
orally known. 1t is stated, for example,
that the roof Of the basiica of st. Paul,
at Rome, which was framed in SIG, is
now, after more than II thousand years,
still in sound condition, and the original
cypress wood doors Of the same building,
after being in use more than six hundred
years, were, when replaced by others of
brass, perfectly free from rot or decay
the wood retaining its original odor. The
timber dome Of st. Mark s, ut Venice, is
still GOOD, though more than eight hun
dred and fifty years old; and the roof of
the Jucobin convent ut Paris, which is OF
fir, was erected more than four hundred
and fifty years ago. Our own country
furnishes many instances of white pine
cornices, etc, which, being covered with
paint, have withstood the elements tor one
or two centuries.
The theory that Il solution of carholic
acid has II preservalive action on wood
founded on the assumption that tar pre-
serves wood by reason Of the ctrbolc acid
and creOsotc it c0ntNins-does not appear
to be warranted by the facts in the case
NJ. Boucherie thinks that such II theory is
altogether untenable, when it is considered
that samples of different kinds of wood
impregnate with onc.hali per cent, one
per cent and two per cent solutions oI
such acid, and then buried in soil rich in
humuS, were found to be aS completely
decomposcd, after period Of six years
AS samples that had not been 50 treated
while others, impregnated with one and t
half per cent solution of suIphate of cop
per, were unchanged.

TIE FALLIBIITrY OF FIlUMAN'JUDGMENT

that hundreds Of victims have been hung
for crimes of which they were not guilty;
that the world Is scandal.loviug world
that all around us are men living as best
the can under II load of calumnv men
who are too proud to defend themselves,
or who have defended themselves in vain.
1t concludes:
The lesson Of this is, that we must school
ourselves to II measure Of misreprcsenta.
ton and mcndacity, ifunhapply they over
take us. 1t is of importance to our cuul.
fort, that we should not think too much Of
what the i'll natured or the careless may
think of us There may be lies told of u.s.
which it is our duty to hunt down to the
dealh-n duty which we owe to Others
whose interests are bound up with ours;
and the senstiveness which shuns the Ia.
bor of properly and energeticaily dealing
with these may be akin to cowardice But
after all, we question whether any lie once
fairly started ever vet stopped running
altogether; whether any falsehood ever SC
died out, that nobody believed it to he
truth; or whether in all the world there
ever lived one person Of whom some per.
son did not think, rs 10 some particular
uniustlg. Each Of us must ofJcn submit
us patiently as possible, saying, What is
this to me, who know myself to be inno

find this an easy thing to say.

CURE FOR GOssIP.-Adopt this rule ::
Let all who come to you with stories
about mutual acquaintances know that
you intend, rs soon rs your duties allow,
to wait upon the parties spoken of dis.
paragingly and repeat Just what was said,
and who said it. Still better, take out
your memorandum book and ask the
party to allow you to copy the words, so
that you can make no mistake. You will
have to do this probably not more than
three times. 1t will fly among your ac-
quaintanccs on the wings of the gossips,
and persons who come to talk against
other persons in your presence will begin
to feel us if they were testifying under
oath. But you ask, Will it not be mean
to 90 off and detail conversational" Not
ut all when interlocutor understands that
he must not talk against an absent person
in your presence without expecting you to
convey the words to the absent person,
and the name Of the speaker. Moreover,
what right has any man or woman to ap-
proach you and bind you to secrecy, and
then poison your mind against another?
If there be any difference in your obliga-
llOuSs tllG lUu IUb DOuut ilUlG W luG ullll
who is absent than the man who is present?
If you can thus help to kill GOSSIP, it will
not matter if you lose u friend or two;
such friends us these, who talk against
others to you, are the very persons to talk
against you 10 them. Try our rule. We
know it to be good. We use it. 1t is
known in the church Of which we are
pastor, that if any one speaks to us dis
paragingly of an absent member, we hold
it our duty to 90 to that absent member
Immediately and report the conversation
and the names; or, still better, to make
the party disparaging face the party dis
paraged. We have almost none of this to
do. Amid the many annoyances which
necessarily come to the pastor of Il large
church, and still larger congregation, we
think that we are us free from the annoy
ance of gossips us it is possible for Il man
to be who lives amongst his felowmcn.
Try our rule, try it faithfully, with meek
ness and charity, and if it does not work
well let us know.-S~nl1y Mgagjne.

" Can ye not speak TO me, Donald

Many years have gone over us
Fortunate years for thee;
When see thee they seem not so many
Only when thou serst me.

No sun and no summer cen change;
Yet seem to hear the spring coming,
Ana the bueOird beginning to range.

Why should not tell thee, Donald,
What sadness it was then to part?p

And yet, when hear thy voice,

Can ye not tell me Of Janet,

Think ye on her sometimes, Donald?
Can you remember the ring?'
