A Novel Event.

The other evening young lady abruptly
turned the corner. and very rudely ran
against boy, who was small and ragged and
freckled. Stopping as soon as she could, she
turned TO him and said:
Il beg you pardon; indeed, 1 am very
sorry"
The small, ragged and freckled boy looked
up in amazemenJ for an instant; then taking
of about three-fourths of a cap, he bowed
very low, smiled until bis face became lost
IN the smile. and answered:
You can have my psrding and welcome
miss, and you may run agIn me and knock
me clean down, an won't say a word"
After the young lady had passed on be
turned to comrade and said, half apologet-
ically:
II never had any one to ask my pardon,
and it kind o. took me off my feet"

every seven years. The mystical nature
of the number seven has had an unquestion-
able effect in originating this opinion; and
although the age of IA and again that of 81
may be regarded as marking the attainment
of youth and manhood and womanhood
respectively, yet physiology gives no coun-
teuance TO the popular opinion that of ne
cessity these periods are those of sweeping
bodily change. On the contrary il might be
shown that the periods at which full growth is
attained vary with climate, race and constitu-
tion-that is, with the personal nature. and
with the physical surroundings of lndivid-
uals, communities and nations The true
state OF matters, disclosed by physiology,
leads Us to contemplate actions ana changes
which are OF infinitely more w0ndrOus kind
than those involved IN the idea of septen-
NAL change. For if there is one axiom
which physiology maintains more constantly
than another, 1t is that which teaches that
constant and never ceasing change is the lot
of life from its beginning to its end.
No part OF the body of living being is
free from these changes of substance, through
which indeed every act of life is earned on.
Every movement OF muscle-hnger-
implies waste of the organs and parts which
move. The thinking of a thought i'm
plies wear and tear of the organ which
thinks-the brain itself Were it possible To
spend existence even in perfectly still and
rigid condition, there are still actions to be
performed which are necessitating continual
waste and wear of the tissues Thus the
beating of the heart, the movements of our
chest IN breathing, and the very act of re.
ceiving and digesting food-actions which
are in themselves concerned with the repair
of the frame-can only be performed through
the Intervention of processes of work, and
waste of body. So that living being is to
be regarded as passing its existence in a
constant state of change. Its particles
are being continually wasted. and as
necessarily renewed; and although
the growth of our bodies may be said
to culmiDate at various periods of our life
yet it is anything but correct to say that
there are marked epochs of change in human
existence. The truth is that change and
alteration are our continual heritage; and it
is strange indeed to think that not organ
or part of our bodies exists which has not
repeatedly in its history been insensibly and
gradually, but none the less perfectly, re
newed in all its parts. Our particles and
substance are being dissipated in very many
fashions. Chemically and physically, We
are in a state of continual break down ;
whilst, on the other hand, II may be shown
that the forces OF life are enlisted powerfully
on the side of renewal and repair.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Christian Warfare.

Soldier, go-but not to claim
MOuldering spoils of earth-born treasure,
Not to build a vaunting name,
Not 10 dwell i'm tents of pleasure.
Dream not that the way is smooth:
Hope not that the thOrns are roses;
Turn no wistful eye of youth
Where the sunny beam repoSes
Thou hast Sterner work TO do,
Hosts To cut thy passage through.
Close behind the gulf are burning
Forward! there is no returning.
Soldier, rest-but not for thee
Spreads the world her downy pillow;
ON the rock thy couch must be,
While around thee chafeS the billow.
Thine must he a watchful s,eep,
Wearier than another's waking;
such a charge as thou doSt keep
Brooks no moment OF forsaking.
Sleep, as on the battlefield,
Glrded-grasping sword and shield;
Those thou canst not name or number
Steal upon thy broken slumber.
Soldier, rise-the war is done;
Loi the hosts of hell are flying;
Twas thy Lord the battle won.
Jesus vanquished them by dying.
Pass the Stream-befOre thee lies
Ali the conquered land of glory.
Hark! what songs of rapture risei
These proclaim the vlctor's story.
Soldier. lay thy weapons down;
Quit the sword and take the crown.
Triumph: all tiny foes are banished,
Death is slain, and earth has vanished.

Here is how a brother journalist
puts it: 'sWe suppose that many
people think that newspaper men
are persistent Guns let a farmer
place himself in a similar business
position and see if he would not do
the same. Suppose he raised one
thousand bushels of wheat, and his
neighbor should come and buy a
bushel, and the price was a small
matter of only two dollars or less,
and the neighbor says, / will hand
you the money in a few days" AS
the farmer did not want to be small
about the matter, he says all right,
and the man leaves with the wheat.
Another comes in the same way UNI
til the whole of the one thousand
bushels of wheat are trusted out to
one thousand different persons, and
not one of the purchasers concerns
himself about it, for it is small
amount that he owes the farmer,
and of course that would not help
him any. He does not realize that

/ his large crop of wheat, and that lis
value is due him in thousand little

his debtors treat it as little matter.
But if all would pay him promptly,
which they could do as well as not,
it would he very large amount tC

ON his business without difficulty

the difficulties that the newspaper
man has to contend with.

In Cox's court was charge of as
sault against that old offender and
police favorite, "John Doe" and
Mr.. Dickson, the attorney, was eX-
aiming the witness.
How hard did he shake
the man when he grabbed him?
Witness-I don't know. Pretty
hard.
Dickson-What do you call "pret-
ty hard ?''
Witness-Well, it was pretty hard
that's all | can say.
DicksOn-COme now, you surely
have sense enough to let the court
know what you call pretty hard. "
Witness-I guess / can show the
court. 1t was like this
Here the witness rose from his
seat and springing upon the aston
ished attorney, grabbed him by the
collar, and with a strong, impulsiVe
Jerk landed him on the floor. Then
he gathered him up and Topped
him across the chair; then he began
to bang him over thef floor, jam him
up against the wall and batter him
round the benches.
"HOld on understand ~ shout
ed the lawyer.
"This is how he fetched him"
retorted the witness, giving him
another lift.
"Won't the court rule out his
answer? l object" said Mr.. Dick
son, catching his breath.
eff you withdraw the question,
alright, " said the Judge, and spring
ing down from his seat he cOlIared
the witness and took him off. When
he again mounted the bench he re-
marked: ''The witness appears to
have introduced his testimony, but
[ can rule that the jury ignore his
answer"
BY this time the spectators were
in CONFUSION of laughter, and the
attorney retired to brush his clothes.
The case was dismissed.
