ENDURANCE,

How much the heart may bear, and yet not break
How much the feah may suffer and not diel
Iquestion mnch n any pain or ache
OF soul or body brings our end more nigh,
Death chooses his own tnei tn that IA worn
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife
Each nerve recoing from the cruel steel
Whose edge seems aeatching for the quvering life
Yet TO our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling fiesh be torn,
This, also, can be borne.
We see n sorrow rising In our way,
And try to fee from the approaching M.
We some small escape-we weep and pray
But when the blow falls. then our hearts are STILL
Not that the pain IA OF the sharpness shorn.-
But think II can be borne.
We wind our life about another life,
We hold It closer, dearer than our own-
And in 1t faints and falls in deadly strife,
Leaving us stunned and stricken and alone;
But ah we do not die with those we mourn;--
This. also. can I've borne
Behold we live through all things,-famine, thirst,
bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow; life inhcts lts worst
On soul and body,-bui we cannot die.
Though we be sick and tired and faint and worm
Loiall things can be borne. 900

A Danes Skin.

Not very long agoa portion of hard
dry skin was found underneath the en-
bossed head of II huge iron mil that was
fixed into the door of the Chapter
House, mt Westminster. Upon tins skin
were found several hairs. Mr.. Quekett,
Curator of the Museum of the College
of Surgeons, recognized the hair to he
human, and asserted that 1t belonged Ia IL
fair haired person. In former times the
Danes used to come up the mouths of
the English rivers to pillage the churches.
When they were caught they were skin
ned, and their skins nailed Ia the door Of
the church they attacked In the course
of time, all the exposed portion would
peel of, that covered by the nail would
remain protected, and thus bear testimo-
ny to the cruelty Of our ancestors. In
the College of Surgeons may he seen
three specimens of human skin, present

The British Cabinet,


The cabinet is one of the most curious
rs it is one of the most important of Brit
ish institutions. 1t is unknown to the
law; its members are never officially an
nounced; its existence has never been re-
cognized by act of parliament, and no re-
cord is kept of its meetings and resolu-
tons. "The executive government of
Great Britain and Ireland" says MIR. Mar
tin, sis vested nominally i'll the crown,
but practically III committee of parlia-
ment commonly called the cabinet, which
has come to absorb the functions of the
ancient and still extant privy council, or
the king in council, the members of
which, bearing the title of right honora-
bic, are sworn to 'alvise the king accord
ing to the best of their cunning and dis
erection, and 'to hold and strengthen the
execution of what shall be resolved.
Though not named i'll any formal legisla-
tive way, the cabinet is virtually appoint
ed by parliament and especially by the
house of commons, its existence being
dependent on the possession of majorl-
ty in the latter assembly.
The member of the cabinet who fills the
position of first lord of the treasury COM
mission, which has supplanted the old
lord high treasurer. is the chief of the
ministry, and therefore of the cabinet. 1t
is on his recommendation that his col
leagues are appointed; and he dispenses,
with hardly an exception, the patronage
Of the crown" Nine members of the all
ministration are now usually included IN
the cabinet, the first lord of thdtreasury,
the lord chancellor, the lord president Of
the council, the chancellor of the exche-
quer, and the five secretaries of state.
To these, according to another authority,
should be, and according to practice Of
ten is, added the lord privy seal. From
among the other ministerial functionaries
a varying number are chosen to be adj
mitted to seats in the cabinet sometimes
two or three, sometime six or eight-the
premier's choice being guided by their
rank, talents, reputation, and political
importance. 1t sometimes happens,
however, that member of the cabinet
sits without office; this occurs i'll the case
of some statesman of high influence and
character whose advice and the weight Of
whose name are required, but who is
averse to undertaking the responsibilities
and labors of any particular Office. Upto
the time of the first Lord Peterborough
the chief justice of England was among
the officials who commonly held seats in
the cabinet The first Gladstone cabinet
contained no fewer than 15members, Mr.
Gladstone holding two offices; there were
but ID in the administration which has
inst gone out 1t is, however. worth
mention that hardly any two English
books of reference ever agree as to what
ministers have or have not seats i'll the
cabinet Thus, the ''Statesmen's Year
Book" for 1874 included the president of
the board of trade in the cabinet, though
"Whittaker" of the same year declares he
is not entitled to seat. The Year Book
for 1880 gives 10 members, and the 'Par-
iamentary Companion" and Financial
Reform Almanac II, and so on.
