scales at two hundred. Here is 4
chance for readjustment.

giving him trouble because of his
cancerous affection, and he is returning

his physician.
Madame Christine Nilsson has re-
fused to come to America, but has ac-
cepted an engagement for an English
provincial tour. She is to receive
100000 and share of the profits if

1t is related of Mr.. Spurgeon that
he was once addressed in the street by
person who, with the briefest of in
Productions, called him ~ very great
humbug" 81 am only too happy, sir. :"
was the preachers reply, ito be very
great anything"
The Emperor of Germany possesses
constitution of iron. 1t Was a matter
of surprise that, at his age, as far back
as 1859, when the war with Napoleon
was waging, he could undergo the
tremendous hardships and dangers of
open field duty by day and night; and
now, after the lapse of eleven years, in
his 83rd year, he is found in the saddle
three hours at a stretch, reviewing his
troops.
DIR. Tanner, the faster, lately opened
an Office in jamestown, N. Y, and
himself informed the editor. of the
Journal Of that town that he had not
died in Amsterdam or anywhere else.
The Journal credits his statement
fully, even adding that his present
robust condition is in striking contrast
to his appearance when he came there
first at the conclusion of his long fast.
Sojourner Truth has received from
friends in England valuable silk
dress, and says she means to live to
wear it out. Invitations for her to
come on a lecturing expedition to Eng
land and Europe are declined, because,
as she quantity says, her work here is
not finished yet. Her eye-sight is i'm
proving, her hair is growing blacker,
and her general health stronger, in
spite of more than 100 years of life.
The Chambersburg (Penn.) Reposi.
tory says that DR.. Agnew first settled
in the little struggling village of Upton,
Franklin County, Penn, AZ years ago,
and advertised his card in the issue of |
that paper for May z, 1889, as follows
"Dr. ID. H. Agnew offers his profess
sional services to all who may favor
him with their calls. He may be found |
at Mr.. Thomas McCausland's, near the |
Greencastle and Mercersburg turnpike, |
between the above-named
places"
Elizabeth, the young Queen of |
speaks admirably six Ian
guages, and is a clever, handsome and
kindly woman. Suffering has made |
her tender;-her great grief is the loss
of her only child, a beautiful and gentle |
little girl four year old. The Queen |
keeps an album, in which she writes |
down her stray thoughts, and "a Conti-
mental journalist has copied some of |
them. Here is one queenly sentiment:
''Life is an art in which too many re-
main only dilettantes. To become "a
master, one must pour out ones life
blood" Again: "White hairs are the |
crests Of foam which cover the sea af- |
ter the tempest" .Sleepis generous
thief; he gives to vigor what he takes
from time" "If you could throw as
an aims to those who would use it well |
the time that you fritter away, how
many beggars would become richp
''Duty only frowns when you flee from
it; follow it and it smiles upon YOU"
There is keen satire in the following: |
''Hhe world never forgives our talents,
our successes, our friends, nor our
pleasures. 1t only forgives our death. |
Nay, it does not always pardon |
that"
