But the moment they had departed,

She had said all this very demurely,

An Eastern Apologize.

Jesus, says the story, arrived one
evening at the gates of a certain city,
and He sent His disciples forward to pre-
pare supper, while He himself, intent on
doing good, walked through the streets
into the market place. And He saw at
the corner of the market some people
gathered together looking at some OBJ
iect on the ground, and He drew near
to see what it might be. It was dead
dog with a halter around his neck, BY
which heappeared to have been dragged
through the dirt, and viler, more
abject, more unclean thing never met
the eyes of man. And those who stood
by looked on with adherence.
"Faugh!" said one, stopping his nose
cit pollutes the air!" "How long,"
said another, "shall this foul beast Of
fend our sight?" "Look at his torn
hide" said third; zone could not even
cut shoe out of it." "And his, ears
said a fourth, "all draggled and bleed
ing" "No doubt" said fifth, "he has
been hanged for thieving." And Jesus
heard them, and, looking down compass,
sionately on the dead creature, He said
"Pearls are not equal to the whitenesa
of his teeth" Then the people turned
to Him with amazement, and said
among themselves: "Who is this
This must be>Jesus of Nazareth; for
only He could find something to pity
and approve even in dead dog" And
being ashamed, they bowed their heads
before Him, and went each on his way.

Tie Boomerang:

This curious weapon, peculiar Is tie
native Australian, has often proved a
puzzler to men of science. It is piece
of carved wood, nearly in the form of q
crescent, from thirty to forty inches
long, pointed on both ends, and the cor
ner quite sharp. The mode of using is
quite as singular as the weapon. Ask a
black to throw it so as to fall at his
feet, and away it goes full forty yards
before him, skimming along the surface
at three or four feet from the ground,
when it will uddenly rise in the air
forty or sixty feet, describing curve,
and finally drop at the feet of the
thrower. During its course it revolves
with great rapidity, as on a pivot, with
whizzing noise. It is wonderful so
barbarous people should have invent
ed SO singular a weapon, which sets
laws Of progression at defiance. It is
very dangerous for a European to try
to project it at any object, as it may re-
turn and strike himself. In natives
hand it is q formidable weapon, striking
without the prof ector being seen; like
the Irishman's gun, shooting round a
corner equally as well as straightfor:

Candles.

. Very few persons who have not
looked into the matter are aware how
the manufacture of candles has
dwindled, especially in the United
States. There is very little left of it,
the large houses that once carried on
the trade having, for the most part,
either retired or been forced into bank
.rnptcy.. Making candles used to be
very profitable; many firms have grown
rich thereby. But Of late years the de-
mand has fallen off everywhere, and is
to-day rather lessening than increasing.
Really, there is very little need of can
dies now. They have served their
time; they belong to@a fading, if not
faded, epoch. Kerosene has been fully
Is adverse as gas to candles, for kero-
sene goes and is used everywhere.
From all the far-interiof towns and
frontier villages the once familiar can
die has disappeared, and kerosene has
supplied its place. It is rare to see q
candle anywhere in this country; q
candle has grown to be a symbol Of ex-
treme conservatism.

Origin OF the Telescope.

The son of spectacle-maker, of
Midd leburg, Holland, happening to
amuse himself in his fathers shop. bv
holding two glasses between his finger
and thumb, and varying their distances,
perceived the weathercock OF the
church spire opposite to him much
larger than ordinary, and apparently
much nearer, and turned upside down..
This new wonder exciting the fathers
alnazement, he adjusted two glasses on
q board, rendering them movable at
pleasure, and thus formed the first
rude prospective glass;. Galileo, hear
ing Of the invention, set, his mind to
work in order to bring it to perfection.
He fixed glasses at the end Of long or
gan pipes, and constructed telescope.
which he soon directed to the surround.
ing heavens. He discovered four moons
revolving round the planet Jupiter,
spots on the surface of the sun, and the
rotation Of that globe round it's own
axis; mountains and valleys in. the
moon, and numbers of fixed stars
where scarcely one was visible to the
naked eye. These discoveries were
made about the year 1910. Since that
period, by means of improved instru-
ments, the celestial wonders of the uni
verse have been explored. By the
help of telescopes, combined. with the
art Of measuring the distances and mag
nitudes Of the heavenly bodies, our
views Of the grandeur of the Almi ghty,
OF the plentitude of His power, and of
the extent of His universal empire, are
extended far beyond what could have
been conceived in past ages. We can
plainly perceive that the kingdom of
God extends through the unlimited re-
gions OF space, :comprehending within
it's vast circumference thousands of
suns, and ten thousands of worlds, all
ranged in majestic order at immense
distances from each other, and all sup
ported and governed "by Him. who
rides upon the heaven Of heavens
whose dominion is an everlasting do
minion, whose greatness is unsearcha-
BILE, and whose understanding is in
finite" The invention of the telescope
has unfolded to our view not only thou
sands but hundreds of thousands and
milions,of worlds; and the higher the
magnifying powers Of the telescope are,
the more numerous these celestial orbs
appear, leaving no room to doubt that
countless myriads lie far beyond the
reach OF. the finest glasses that can be
constructed by human skill, and which
are known only to Him "who counts the
number of the stars and calls them by
their names.">
