SNOW-BOUND IN AUGUST.

The risks of glacier expeditions are
described by a correspondent of the
London Times, who writes from
Pontresina, in the Engadine. Seton
Karr with two guides set out from
that place on the first Thursday in
August, to spend the night in the new
shelter hut of the Swiss Alpine club
at Boval, and then to ascend the Piz
Bernina. A second party occupied
the hut with them, ana accompanied
them the next morning to the Fes-
tung, where the paths separated.
Some hours afterward snowstorm
suddenly overlook both, although the
weather had been fine and the sky al
most cloudless. After a painful and
most difficult walk the second party
returned safely to Pontresina in the
evening. Karr and his guides gained
the summit of the Bernina at $50 Il.
M, when they were surrounded by
thick clouds and overtaken by a
storm. which lasted till the evening
of the following day. However, after
a short rest they began the descent.
and by II O'Clock had safely reached
the great Firnkessel. Onward they
proceeded in the now raging snow
storm until they had gained Grasta
Gussa. Darkness had overtaken them,
and further progress was impossible.
At dawn fresh and Intellectual efforts
were made to escape. About noon
they contrived by means of rope to
let themselves down a considerable
height, falling upon the soft snow,
and continued their peri1ous journey
until 9 p. M, little thinking they
were within reach Of the Bavalhutte,
where succor was awaiting them; for
their cries had been heard. joyful
greetings were exchanged, and food
and shelter was soon provided. None
of the party sustained any serious
injury, although the Englishmen
narrowly escaped the effects of frost
bite.

THE ONENESS OF MENTAL AND PHYSI.
CAL HEALTH.

The intimate connection between
the physical man and his moral actions
is often overlooked, and perhaps as
often misunderstood where it is taken
into consideration. On the one hand
we have schemes of education Of the
examining kind, where every effort is
made to fill the mind with facts and
theories. with little or no regard to
the bOdy's wants Children are made
myopic. their brains over-stimulated,
their growth stunted, and their senses
left unframed to perceive the glories
and the teachings of the natural world
around sthem; or. on the other, the
cry is for musculor Christians, and
base ball. rowing, running. turning
somersallts, and boxing take the
place of desk work. Muscularity is
indeed gained, but Christianity The
answer is ambiguous. There is just
as much risk in OVERRIDING the physi-
cal as the mental; and at present,
among our college undergraduates,
we should think a little more.
In the one condition, when over
attention is given to physical culture,
there is a development of the coarser.
crueler. more brutal tendencies OF the
character; in the contrary one. of a
sneaking. passive, essentially human

i strong moral nature can only be
secured when there is symmetry

and refined to respond readily to the

the reason dictates.
1t was the folly of the ascetic school
which taught that the sensual part of
man. his animal natute, should be
sunk out of sight, stamped out as it
were, under the preponderance of his
higher powers. Such purpose can
not be achieved. Food and drink. in

THE MONKEY AND NAN.

The theory of evolution has of late
years been attracting more than Ordi.
nary attention, and within the past
week Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has
announced himself as an evOlutionist.
Since it is being taken up by so many
minds and is becoming public prop
erty. we will give in as few words as
possible birds eye view of the doc
trine.
From the time in which the earth
was vapOr, without form and void. -
it seems that there has been a gradual
process of development all the way
long. In fact the earth attracted kim
dred elements, ASSUMING shape under
the law OF planetary motion; it con
densed and cooled on the surface, AMI
then conditions were ripe for tie
production of a certain form of lie.
Passing on from the mineral stage,
there came into being a colossal spe-
cies Of vegetable life. Compared with
the succeeding forms it was therudi-
mentary effect of a principle of life or
power III the act of embodying, local
izing aud maintaining itself. After
the mineral and vegetable kingdoms.
the animal was the next in uder.
according to the conditions which
made the animal kingdom possible as
an advance from the vegetable the
lowest forms tirst-the eyeless and
shapeless slugs of the sea,-theland
animals-the fowls of the air; the
clumSleSt as to size and movement;
then the finer and more fully devel-
oped OF the species. From the creep
ers of the ground, we find the head is
lifted gradually in the different
species from the horizontal to the up
right position. Man appears a last
rs Il necessary result of the Grand
process. He only stands erect, while
other forms of animal life, measured
to their lesser spheres of capacity and
position i'll the kingdom, assure the
leaning or less commanding posture.
Man, physically, is the perfection of
organic forms. He is the completest
expression of the common principle of
life and power. He is the end of the
law of evolution as he is the fulfill
ment of it. He is the immaculate
conception and the last link in the
chain of created things,
/ Ii man is an improvement ulon all
humber forms, whose respective
places in the vast chain OF beine form
