DR.. Talmage writes to the I,adepen-
dent that the perpetual rains have des-
olated the prospects of the English
and Scotch farmers this season, and
the untoward weather has been sub
ject for prayer in all the churches.
"One minister in North Wales got the
wrong place in the prayer book, by
mistake, and to the horror OF his con-
gregation prayed for more rain But
it is a consolation to believe that such
prayer as that will have no effect on
the weather" The prayer of the Ork-
ney minister pleases him much better:
Lord, send us Draw weather, and
leet sough of breeze that will dree the

A Nihflist Romance.

A romantic explanation Of the as
sassination Of Gen. Meseneff. last
spring, is offered by Russian Jour
nal. Three Nihilists condemned to
Siberian exile wished to marry, aud
picked upon three girls of their own
political persuasion, who agreed to
follow them to the place Of their ban
ishment Marriages of this descrip-
ton are tolerated by the laws of Rus
sia; and the three convicts in ques-
tion received permission from the COM
petent authorities to be united to the OBJ
jects of their choice. Accordingly
they were welded; but their sentence
of banishment was Immediately after
ward changed into one Of solitary con-
finement in the central prison at ot.
Petersburg Upon learning this, their
wives sought and obtained audience
of Nabokow, the minister of justice,
whom they entreated to reverse the
last degree, and to send their hus-
bands, as at first determined, to Sibe-
ria, whittier they could accompany
them. Nabokow replied that he could
not assume the responsibility Of alter
ing the modified sentence, and re-
ferred the three women to the chief Of
the secret police. TO him, therefore,
they applied; but he angrily rejected
their petition, telling them che was
quite aware how cunning was the po-
lltical party TO which they belonged,
and how eager to increase its num-
bcrs by marriage and the results of
that union. He should, therefore, treat
them as persons outside the law, to
be dealt with in an exceptional man
ner." As soon as this decision was
known in Nihilistic circles, he was at
once condemned to die as the most in
veterate and dangerous enemy Of the
cause; and three days later he per-
ished by the hand of an assassin.

few thousand, most generally the helpless and
innocent. Men turned away with loathing

innocent youths and beautiful maidens in

are all the elements of success. Now shall
my throne be forever established. Only carry

you come TO me, your works shall produce

The fact most worthy to be noted in the
life Of Elihu Burritt is that before he was any
thing else he was good blacksmith. lie was
not ashamed Of his trade, and he did not slur
it in order to gain time for bis studies. He
was as earnest at his anvil as he was at his
books. His work was honest it satisfied
those whom he served and it satisfied himself.
Probably he disliked his harsh calling and
was very glad to have done with it, but his
longing for something higher never led him
into forgetting the necessity of doing well the
work set before him. His eyes were not SO
set upon the stars Int that they guided his
feet as they trod firmly the earth. So his
life, from the beginning, was patient, faithful
and true and the lesson that it teaches is
that by patience, faithfulness and truth tho
battle that every man has to fight with the
world is most surely won. --I'hito. Times.

The great error Of Americans is their too
hasty mastication of food, and the people of
this country ipjure their digestive organs,
and consequently ruin their health, by imper-
feet mastication. Food which is swallowed
down hastily, before it is properly masticated
and moistened by the saival secretion provid-
ed by nature for that purpose, becomes a bur-
den to the stomach and oyertaxes this vital
organ with work. Men and women too, who,
after hasty meal, rush off to their daily oc-
equations, stihe tho efforts of nature and
shorten their own days.

With summers fragrant flowers,

ANCIENT PERFuMERY.- NJ. Jules Simon,
traces back the origin of perfumes to the early
times of the Chinese Empire, and mentions a
curious habit which prevailed among the fine
ladies Of the Celestial Empire of rubbing in
their hands round ball made of mixture of
amber, musk, aud sweet scented flowers.
The Jews, who were also devoted to sweet
scents, used them in their sacrifices, and also
to anoint themselves before their repasis
The Scythan women went a step farther,
and, after pounding on a stone, cedar, cypress
and incense, made up the ingredients thus oh
tanned into thick paste, with which they
smeared their faces and limbs. The compo-
sition emitted for time pleasant oder and
on the following day gave to tho skin soft
and shining appearance. The Greeks carried
sachets of scent in their dresses, aud filed
their dining rooms with fumes of Incense
Even their wines we've often mpregnated
with decactions of flowers, or with sweet
scented flowers themselves, such as roses and
yioleis There were also appropriate scents
for each limb, and each feature, and the ele-
giants Of Athens resorted to such eifeminato
refinements of luxury as amounting pigeons
with liquid perfume and causing them to fly
loose about room, scattering the DROPS from
their feathers over the heads and garments of
those who were feasting beneath.
