lai '~assided with her husband, nj sionary of u
sn ess she is said to have penned The foilowil
sxnuiste poem:l
Ere last wears moon had left the sky,
birding sought my Indian nest,
Aud folded oh so lovingly.
Her tiny wings upon my breast.
From morn till evenings purple tinge,
In wtnsome helplessness she lies,
Two rose leaves with silken fringe
shut softly on her starry eyes.
There's not in India loveler bird;
Broad earth owns not happier nest:
On. God. Thou hast u fountain stirred,
Whose waters never more shall restl
This beautiful mysterious thing,
This seeming yisitant from Heaven,
This bird with the immortal wing,
TO me- TO me, Thy hand has given.
The pulse first caught its tiny stroke,
The blood lis crimson hue, from mine
This life which have dared invoke.
HencefortG is parallel with Thine
A silent awe is Ia my room
trembla with delicious fear:
The future, with its light and gloom,
Time and eternity are here.
Doubts hopes, in eager tumult rise:
Hear. oh, my God! one earnest prayer;
Room for nv bird in Paradise,
And give her angel plumage there.

The History Of Diphtheria,

1t is often said that diphtheria is of
modern origin, a penalty for the un-
sanitary condition of modern civiliza-
ton DR.. Mackenzie, senior physician
to the Hospital for Throat and Chest
Diseases, in London, finds the disease to
be very ancient one. The first de-
ccription of it occurs in the writings of
an Indian physician, a contemporary Of
Pythagoras. He next identifies it with
"askara," a fatal epidemic frequently
mentioned in the Talmud. In the 18th
century diphtheria was widely prevalent
in Europe, and extensively fatal. In
1902 DR.. Cullden, of Edinburgh, seems
10 have described the disease under the
name of cynauche trachealis; and in 500
Bretonneau's classical work appeared.
"After this, writes DR.. Mackenzie, 'the
disease seems to have passed from the
minds of English physicians and its very
existence to have been almost forgotten.
From such torgetfulness the medical pro-
fession was thoroughly aroused by the
great epidemic of the years 1859,
since which time diphtheria has not ap-
peared in England with anything like
the same malignancy.

The Royal Eyes of England.

Most Englishmen know Her Majesty
by sight, have seen the fine-cut features
which have possibly become little heavy
by age, but which remain in most re-
markable degree aristocratic, though
comparatively few, perhaps, have heard
the clear, ringing voice, which is de-
lighhul in ordinary conversation, but
which becomes most painfully disagree>
able and unpleasant when excited, or have
seen the heayy-lidded eyes wake and flash
lightning for a moment and then sink
back into disdainful repose. These
flashes Of light in the eyes are common to
only three members Of the royal family
the Queen, the Prince Of Wales, and
the Princess Beatrice. 1t is an extra.
ordinary phenomenon: the whole face
changes for an instant when suddenly lit
up with the excitement shed from the
eyes, and the physiognomy is entirely
altered for the moment. The late Lord
Russell said once 10 Lord Dalling that he
would rather face anything than Her Ma
jesty's displeaSure, for "it dazzled and
shocked you like sword suddenly un-
sheathed in the sunlight" The metaphor
is apt and true, and friend Of ours who
was dining at the royal table at Windsor
on one occasion when Her Majesty be-
came suddenly displeased with certain
member of her family whom we v i'll not
name, has often assured us that her face
changed so for an instant as TO be almost
rnrecogniZable. Whitehall Review.

MARRIAGE AS A TEST.

How remarkable it is that whenever
an enthusiast in religion gets new light,
and adopts what he considers advanced
views" he almost invariably begins to
tamperswith marriage! In this tamper-
ing he always betrays the charlatan, and
sufficiently warns all who are tempted to
follow him to beware of him. There is
no better test of new system or scheme
of life than its relation to Christian
marriage. If it tampers with that it is
always bad. and can by no possibility
be good. The Shakers form commun-
ity built on the rotton foundation.
They destroy the family, root and branch.
They have no place for love, and enter
into a determinated and organized fight
with the God OF Nature, wnv, Dy si.s
strongest passions and impulses He
uds ever imPIanvo>. Aa-~--~ ----l
has commanded them to establish fami-
lies and homes. Shakerism is good for
nothing for it is not good universally
for it ought not to be adopted universal
ly. But universal adoption would be
the suicide of race, and race has no
more right to commit suicide than man.
Besides the damning of one the most
powerful streams in human nature only
sets the water back to cover the banks
it was intended to nourish and to drain.
It is too late to talk about the superior
sanctity of the celibate. We have no
faith in it whatever. The VOW of chas-
tity simply emphasizes in the mind the
passion it is intended, for spiritual rea-
sons, to suppress. and fixes the attention
upon it. The Shaker, in denying love
to himself and all the hallowed infuen-
ces that grow out of family and home
gains nothing in holiness. if he does not
lose irretrievably. He is the victim of
shocking mistake, and he disgraces
himself and his own father and mother
by his gross views of an institution be-
fore whose purity and benefcence he and
his whole system stand condemned.
Of course we do not need to allude to
the Mormon. His views of marriage
revealed, of course-are simply beastly.
But these new schemes of life, religion
and philosophy are constantly springing
up. It is very difficult for any system
of socialism to establish itself without
tampering with marriage. and one of the
best arguments against all sorts of CON-
munities and phalansteries and what
nots of that sort, is that the family. as
a unit, is unmanageable within them.
They can take in and organize miscel-
laneous mass of individuals. and provide
some sort of dirty substitute for mar
riage, but the family bothers them. 1t
is government within government,
that they cannot get along with. So the
the marriage test is good one in all
cases of the kind.-Scribner.

THE SHEPHERD AND THE
LAMBS.

Unto the margin Of the flowing river
The Eastern shepherd leads his timld sheep;
He calls them on, but they stand still and shiver;
To them the stream seems wide and swift and deep.
He calls them on, but they in fear standing;
He calls them on. but on they dare not go;
They heed not now the voice of his commanding,
They only heed the rivers fearful flow.
Then from the side of one protecting mother
lamb the shepherd takes unto his breast;
And then he gently bends and takes another,
And in his the two lambs lie at rest.
They lie at rest. and, as he close enfolds them,
He bears them safely DER the river wide
The little lambs know well the that holds them.
They nestle warmly and are satisfied.
Then the fond mothers with maternal longing
Look on beyond that rivers fearful flow;
They can but follow. and, behind them throngHg.
Their heecy comrades are in haste to go.
Drawn by love stronger than any shrinking,
Their lambs they follow DER the flowing tide
They heed not now the swimming or the sinking.
They brave the stream and reach the further side.
And while their tender shepherd kindly feeds them
They think no longer upon what hath been;
He gives them back their lambs and then he leads
them
By the still waters, through the pastures green.
So shall IL be with you, weeping mother.
Whose lamb the Lord has taken from your sight:
'Tis He hath done it. He and not another;
Your lamb lies in His arms clasped close and tight.
Across the stream your little one is taken
That you may fear no more the quick. dark flow;
But that, which steadfast heart and faith unshaken
You may be ready after 1t to go.
This is the tender Shepherds loving pleasure.
To bless at once the little lamb and you;
He knows that when with Him is your best treasure
There fixed forever will your heart be too.
