parted. Evidently he had stolen off in
the night, not wishing to speak of his
plans, if he had any, for We learned on
inquiry that he had even omitted to
settle with his too indulgent landlady
But in his composing-stick, lying upon
his case, ne had left line of type,
which spelled these words: "Gone west,
to grow up with the country"
[ never saw him any more. and never
heard from him till [ CHANGED one day
upon a fugitive notice of his death. He
was discovered, the paper said, frozen
stiff and stark, in the February snow
and ice of a Minnesota prairie. Very
oddly. it was a young lady who found
him-some accidental Isabel, perhaps
and they took him into the nearest
town on a wood-sled, the coroner and
a few others, and then, [ suppose, they
dug hole for him in the numb earth
and put him away.
Alas you poor. queer, dead-and-
gone prodigal, where be your gibes
now? Was it fate, or but your own fol-
ly, that beckoned you on to an end so
pitifully desolate? Did you meet death
as you had confronted life, with that
unfinching eye, that placid, masterfui
smile? And did they find, wonder,
in some whimsical recess Of your rag
ged garments, q poverty-stricken old
leather pocket-book, and a little sprig
of faded cedar?
Here [ might stop, content to let 81
lence do rest. But, the recalling his in
junction to "chuck in little Shake
speare," and remembering, also, his
skepticism and his waywardness, I
deem it only meet and fair to add in
his behalf that carefully charitable pc
tition which the great monarch of
thought puts into the kings mouth at
the death-bed of Beaufort:
"Peaee to his soul, if Gods good pleasure be-"

HE LEADS US on.
He leads US on

He leads US on
BY paths we did not know:
Upward He leads us, though our steps be slow,
Though oft we faint and falter by the way,
Though storms and darkness oft obscure the day,
Yet, when the clouds are gone
We know He leads us on.
He leads us on
Through all the unquiet years:
Past all our dreamland hopes and doubts and fears,
lie guides our steps. Through all the tangled maze
OF n, of sorrow, and o'erclouded days,
We know His will is done;
And still He leads US on.
And He at last,
After the weary strife,
After the restless fever we call life
After the dreariness, the aching pain
The hayward struggles, which have proved in vain
After our tolls are past
viii give US rest at last.

redeeming feature of the late flood at
Knights Landing was the ease with
which the families residing in the over

Food for Thought.

There are many things that are thorns

hearts when we have.
How idle boast is the immortality

the hero of yesterday out of our recol-
lection; and will, in time, be supplanted
by the successor of tomorrow.

The signs of heaven she reads;

And she is well, yea, bathed in bliss,
If heaven is in my face;
Behind it is all tenderness
And truthfulness and grace.

Unchanged in changing mood

To bring her something good

Am ignorant and weak

And then must not speak;
For all behind the starry sky,
Behind the world so broad,
Behind mems hearts and souls doth lie
The infinite of God.
Aye, true to her, though troubled sore,
| cannot choose but be;
Thou who art peace forevermore
Art very true to me.
If am low and sinful, bring
More love where need is rife;
Thou knowest what an awful thing
1t is to be life.
Hast thou not wisdom TO enwrap
My waywardness about,
In doubling safety on the lap
Of love that knows no doubt?
Lo! Lord, sit in Thy wide space,

She looketh up into my face,

ALL ABOUT THE PULSE. Every in
telligent person should know how to as
certain the state Of the pulse in health
then by comparing it with what it was
when he was ailing he may have some
idea Of the case. Parents should know
the healthy pulse of each child, as now
and then person is born with a re-
markably slow or fast pulse, and the
very cause in hand may be Of that pecu-
larity. An infants pulse is 40; a
child Of seven years, about 1870; and
from twenty to sixty years, it is 10
beats a minute, declining to 60 at fore
score. A healthful grown persons pulse
beats 10 times a minute. There may
be good health down 10 60. but il the
pulse always exceeds 70 there is no
disease. The machine is working itself
out; there is fever aud inflammation some
where and the body if feeding on itself
as in consumption, when the pulse is
quick, that is, over 60. gradually in
creaslng with decreased chances Of cure,
until il reaches 10 or 100, when death
comes before many days. When the
pulse is over 20 for months, and there
is slight cough, the lungs are affected.
