no matter from what cause. no matter
whether by little or much, do not cloud
the sky of your future by gloomy thoughts
about it Be hopeful, happy. courageous.
Old errors, like dead bodies. should be
buried. Bury them quick, and plant some
towering deed on the mound. The mound
will level with the years; but the floral
deed will renew its life with the seasons.
We are saved by hope. Req. ~. II.

PARABLE.

like great 81. Paul. " knew a man"
One Of the common mold and state,
To whom 1t was Vouc hsafed to scan
glimpse through Heavens gate.
These many seasons lapse and rise;
And still he journeys unconsoled,
For longing of the paradise
That on his sight unrolled.
And they who see him come and pass,
Aud look into his nroodlng face,
Catch sometimes darkly, through glass,
faint, reflected grace.
No awful splendor smote his eye
OF blazing amethyst and gold;
Upon his ear no symphony
Nor pcaling anthem rolled.
But all was only whie and stlll,
So white and still his heart would cease,
And with an eager IainIness I'LL
For hunger of such peace.
Such peace and purity, light
Pellucid, Speechessly serene,
An outpoured. molten chrysolte
No dewy morn has seeni
lie cannot tell be cannot tell.
lie only knows it broke his hearte
To turn (, ON that sweet miracle
And take the common part.
He could not dare TO enter in,
Though bitter to resign IS death;
In that rare atmosphere no sin
Might draw single breath.
lie sadly walks the common range,
But not with pining or lament;
Few the drear wak'ngs he would charge
For any mans content.
He laughs and lightly speaks; and yet
And yet, though slow years intervene.
His heart can never long forget
The dear grace 1t hath seen.
And still he comes and fingers where
His eyes were Dlest that far.off day,
And purges with sweet despair
The dross Of this rude clay.

BRAVE WOMEN IN MEMPHIs.-The her.
oisIn of women is again illustrated in the
plague districts of the south. The follow
ing incidents given by the Memphis AUa
lanche are. in themselves, noble tribute
TO the mnlsterng angels: By the bed
side of the burning body, inhaling the
poison of the sick room, foul with the odor
which tells the nature of the dreadful dis
ease, performing service which none other
will do, wearing smile while the heart
is breaking and lifting up the head when
in the last agony, her person is befonled
by that most repulsive and horrid of all
substances-black vomit-she sits and
watches and nurses and cares for her low
ed one until he lives again or passes be-
yond her aid. The penalty of her service
of love is generally death. A citizens re-
lief committee man walked into an hum
bic cottage in the southern portion of the
city. There he found two children i'll, one
weak and llstless hut evidently GONZALES
cling, the other tossing in burning fever.
A little woman in black sat between tine
two and was in the act of kissing the brow
of the little fevered one. Can't | send
Won nurse, madam" asked the visitor.
No, sir, (the pale lIltle woman smied.)
have brought one child through and
shall bring the other. But you are worn
outp' ',0h, no, sir. A kind Italian woni-
IN near by comes in and helps me some
tines She would not yield; no other
hand but hers could minister 10 her little
ones. An old grandmother not only nursed
her grandson to his death, but in want of
some one else to do it had, with her old
hands, prepared him for the grave. A
child was stricken with the fever, on Ala
bama street. Co. said the mother to the
tather, : | shall never leave the boy, but
you must not be endangered. The mother
is paying the price of her devotion, and to
morrow will herself pass to her last home
in the city. A sick mans la'ly friend
wrote: Please let me come And when
his friends thought the die was cast. they
consented to his summosing her. Boldly
she laid aside her hat, pushed back her
hair. and, forcing Il smile to her lips. en-
tered the room. Some of her male friends
stood outside on the door-steps, to in.
quire how the dear old boy is getting
along These are few of hundreds. Moth
ers have made their sons leave town, and
tl,en relieved, apparently, of all alarm,
have sunk down TO die. Wives absent have
returned against the positive orders and
wishes oftheir husbands. preferring to die
with those they love rather than suffer the
suspense away. God in His mercy has
sent these ministering angels to make Us
forget for time the horrors of wholesale
deaths and contemplate in them the glory
and beauty of better world"

WAIr.-The voices of the present say,
"Come!" But the voices of the past
say, .'Wait!" With calm and solemn
footsteps the rising tide bears against the
rushing torrent up stream, and pushes
back the hurrying sire IN. With no less
calm and solemn footsteps, no less certain
ly. does great mind bear up against pub
lie oplniun. and push back its hurrying
stream. Therefore should every man
wait-should bide his time. Not in listless
idleness-not in useless pastime-not in
querulous detection but in constant,
steady. cheerful endeavors. always willing
and fulfilling and accomplishing his task,
that, when the occasion comes. he may be
equal to the occasion. --Longfellow,

ROBINSON CRUsoE's IsLAND.--The island
of Juan Fernandez. the solitary home of
Alexander Sekirk, and the scene of Defoe's
celebrated romance, Robinson Crusoe, Dor
rowcd from the Scotch seaman's adven
lures, has recently been visited by the wife
of an American captain, who had put in
there for supply of wood and fresh pro
visions. She was much pleased with the
island, which, while mostly covered with
rocky peaks. has many fertile valleys,
yielding apples, strawberries, figs. grapes,
melons, peaches, and any number of wild
goats. The scenery is varied and pic
turesque and the climate tropical. There
is an ample supply of fresh water. and
fish abound in the streams. Alf de Rode,
an enterprising Swiss, has leased the en-
tire island from Chill for eight year., and
is stocking it with cattle, with which to
supply passing vessels. He expects to
make good deal of money there, having
been encouraged by his experience thus
far. The Americans wife went, of course,
to the cave Selkirk occupied ITO years ago.

1t is very general supposition. though
a mistaken one, that coral, when first
taken from its watery he'd, is soft. and
hardens through exposure. The fresh or
live coral may feel somewhat Shiny in the
fingers, but. if the animal matter be wash
ed away. it is found to be quite hard-a
little above that of common limestone or
marble, giving out a ringing sound when
struck with hammer Chemically. the
chief constituent of all is carbonate of
lime, in the proportion of ninety five to
ninety-eight parts in one hundred, with
one and half parts to four parts of or
ganic matter, and some earthly ingredients,
such as phosphate of limo, with trace of
silica, amounting usually to less than one
per cent.

KISSES OF SLEEP,

What shall sing for the darling who lies
Wuh the kisses of sleep on her innocent eyes;
Who sees in her dreamland the wonderful n,wers
Whose shndowless beauty ha. vanished from ours
All, fair little maiden. my wisdom is vain
TO choose the one path never haunted by oaIu:
rhy eet may be bruise but in darkness or light,
The hand of the shepherd will lead thee ar,ght.
rhe wears of thy future are safe in His hold
Whose smiles, like the sunshine, His children EN-.

TO hide in His bosom il troubles assan,
Secure in His keeping whose love cannot fail
