Not Mine.


By Mkb- JULIA C II. DOhh.
1t is not mine to run
With eager feet,
Along life's crowded ways,
My Lord to meet.
1t is not mine to pour
The oil and wine,
Or bring the purple robe
And linen fine.
1t is not mine to bear
His heavy cross,
Or suffer, tor His sake,
All pain and loss.
1t is not mine to walk
Through valleys dim,
Or climb far mountain-hights
Alone with Him!
He hath no need of me
In grand affairs,
Where fields are lost, or crowns
Won unawares.
Yet, Master, if may
Make one pale flower
Bloom brighter, for Thy sake,'
Through one short hour;
If |, in harvest-fields
Where strong ones reap,
May bind one golden sheaf
For Love to keep;
May speak one quiet word
When all is still,
Helping some fainting heart
To bear thy will;
Or sing one high, clear song,
On which may soar
Some glad soul heavenward,
1 ask no more!

Maryland Vaccine Agency.
fRo1t;Sn orxn nOHnfto

DR.. Wilson G.. Register; of this city,
State vaccine agent, yesterday trans
mitted to Governor Hamilton his annual
report for the year ending December 31st,
last. FL t
The report says that the agency has
continued during the year 10 furnish
bovine virus to all the physicians of the
State from young and healthy heifers.
Its purity is thus preserved and this is
the only State that gives its citizens pos
tive assurance that it has No blood con-
tamination. Confidence in the agency
is shown by the increased orders it re-
ceives. The health department of Balti-
more uses the virus exclusively.
During last year 947 orders of physi-
clans were filed, and reports of results
show 80 per cent. as the ratio Of success
full vaccinations. Twenty-six heifers
were used during the year, having been
hired from farmers in the neighborhood
of the vaccine farm. and returned when
they were cured. The vaccine farm is
located at C0ntee's Station, Washington
branch Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, TWEEN
ty-four miles from Baltimore. Last year
the expenses were $780, During the late
panic the agency was taxed to its utmost
capacity, and unless an appropriation is
made this year by the Legislature for it
the usefulness Of the agency must be
abridged.

A Bridge of Ice Three MILES Long.

The railroad on the ice across the St.
Lawrence River will probably be COM
pleted ON Monday next. The first train
will contain a number Of directors of the
Southeastern Railway, contractors of the
Road and members of the press The
river at this point is about two miles
wide. The total length Of rail on the
ice will be about three miles, and cost
$1,000. The track is constructed as fol-
lows Cross pieces Of plank twelve feet
long by three inches thick are laid fat ON
the ice, which, Of course is perfectly lev
eled after having been duly tested at
every few yards as to quality and thick
ness. On these cross pieces stringers are
laid. These .stringers consist Of sue
cesion of hemlock beams, twelve inches
square and fifteen feet long, laid parallel
the entire route, four feet and eight
inches apart. The ties, four feet long
and three inches thick, are laid on string
ers and are intended TO receive the rails.
After the track Is finished, water will be
pumped between the stringers. which, as
soon as frozen, will have the same
strength in effect that sand and gravel
similarly applied have on ordinary rail.

At Poplar Hall Annette reigned a

She dressed as no other woman in all

worth fortunes; her parties were the talk

During the fve yean that this farce
of life went on, she had never spoken to
him in any tones but those of the coldest
formality, and when they brought him
home to her one day stricken down with
paralysis she never grew a shade paler.
He died; but before he became speech
less, he made a confession to his wife.
He told her the story Of Arnold's for
gerry was all false-it was a plot of his
to win her for his wife.
Arnold was an honest man in gods
sight, and for five years she had been a
wretched dupe.
Even in his dying hours the man
seemed to delight in contemplating the
success of his schemes, and remember
ing that he had blighted the happiness
of her whose love he was powerless to
gain.
"Annette, kiss me once, and say that
you forgive me-"
But she turned from him, and with
out word or gesture left the room.
Three years later she met Lester Arm
old. c"
He would have avoided her, for the
wound In his heart was still fresh: but
she went to him and told her story.
She did not spare herself, and he was
softened to tenderness by the pain in her
face, and the pathos in her voice.
Did he forgive herf
He did, and they were married in less
than week, and maybe after the cloud,
the sunshine will seem to them brighter.

the story of life given up almost
wholly to temperance reform, but aside
from this, DR.. Jewett was remarkable in

The Smells OF Glasgow.
(Saturday Review. !


Among the smells for which the city
Of Glasgow is justly famous, and which
certainly exceed in number and pungen-
cy the stenches Of Cologne, one may, or
lately might, be described as all-pervad-
ing. 1t is a singularly warm, sweetish
smell, which follows you everywhere,
and which is particularly prev lent when
a west wind is blowing. In this smell,
as IN a pleasing and commodious envi-
ronment, the other minor and local odors
have their being. The natives say that
the sweetish, sickly stencil accompanies
some vapor which has the power of
blackening silver, and this statement we
can readily believe. The fragrance in
question is scattered abroad, as out of a
censer, from mighty chimney, which,
i"like some tall bully, lifts it's head, and"
is offensive.
This chimney belongs to the st. Rollox
Chemical Works, and the smell, for all
we know, may be that Of diamonds in
the making, for n st. Rollox Mr.. Mac.
Tear has possibly succeeded in making
artificial diamonds. Whether the result
is quite worth the misery which the st.
Roilix chimney inficts, or at least used
to infict, on thehuman nose, is question
best settled by persons who live within q
ten miles radius of Glasgow. 1t would
be great thing for the Glasgow "bud-
dies' to claim for their town priority in
this art; but greatness is not achieved
without suffering, and the possibly "bas-
tard diamonds" as Pliny calls them,
have Been won at much expense Of nox-
ious, or at least nasty, vapors.
