Symptoms of an outbreak of fanati

dams have manifested themselves at La
hore and elsewhere in India, notwith
standing the efforts made by the leading
men of both religions to smooth over the
differences. The Hindoos are the ag
gressors, and have given much offens'
by publishing pamphlet which is sim

have shown remarkable patience unde

Greek brigands who captured Mr.. Suter,
some time ago captured two young
girls, about seventeen years of age, OF
different parents, and demanded a sum
of money as ransom for them. One OF
the fathers could not pay in the given
time, the other did and got his daughter
back. To the one who could not pay,
the body of the daughter was sent by

MY JUNE BOY.

Sweet as the pink wild roses wake,
And freshness from their petals shake,
SO from his head to his small feet
He wakes, all flushed and dewy sweet.
His eyellds like white clouds of morning flee
And clear the heavenly blue for me, for me!
The wonder of the baby's eyes,
Forget me nots and morning skies.
Ana all things blue that lie between:
named We blue ere they were scent
Ho, Violets by the reedy rim
OF pools, where lights and shadows swim
Seeing your soft reflections there,
1e know what things can best compare;
Though in his eyes are depths of mystery
Which never yet were seen, sweet flowers, in
thee.
o, rose bud, rosebud of the South,
Say, can you match the baby's mouth?
And when your petals softly part,
IS there white pearl in your heart?
And tell me-if you can tell-who
Has ever heard a rose bud coo?
And can you bud and bloom. o, rose bud say,
And bloom and bud, hundred times "a day,
A dimple is an angels kiss
We're dimples ever placed amiss!
O, apple blossoms, do not speak,
To say you're like the baby's cheek,
AL white and pink, and fragrant through and
through.
Have apple. blossoms little dimpIes, too?
The sunshines fairest, finest thread
Sometimes it CLEANS "a halo faint,
And turns him to a baby saint
Lo, should gird him with "A little fleece,
The infant st. John of the Neronesel
give the palm to his sweet chin;
Yet oft his little feet will win
Sandaled with rose leaves, his pink toes
Buds stolen from some careless rose.
l count his beauties, rs the nun
COunteth her beads DER, one by one.
So many ways my fond heart finds him fair,
1t makes each breath II grateful little prayer.
He sweetly breathes in baby rest
on the dear comfort OF my breast.
For love, Tor love, can not speak:
a tear falls on the babys cheek.
What, stir at such grief as this
A tear warmed by thy mothers kiss!
Do roses sigh at drops of dew?
Will soft winds VeX the lilies, too?....
Again in perfect rest he lies,
White eyelids dropped on bluest eyes.
So yiolets and snow drops nod together,
And sleep in night times of the sweet spring
weather
What shall happy mother bring,
Who hath no costly Offering?
No spices from beyond the sea,
No white dove even, owneth she,
No lamb unblemished, nor stem
OF Mary's lilies On the hem
OF the Lords garment just q touch
OF faith brought blessings overmuch.
There may she lay mothers kiss
So white with love He will not miss
Spices nor fragrant lilies, nor the glow
or costly gems, nor doves as white as snow.

And freshness from their petals shake,

He wakes, all flushed and dewy sweet.

Comet Terrorism.

1t would be tedious to recount the
history of the comets which have been
looked upon as prophets of i'll to men
and nations, but note should be made
Of one particular time when all things
seemed to combine to show that the end
of the world was at hand. This was
the year 1000 after Christ, the time of
the millennium, VIII, Il the devil, having
been chained up for a thousand years,
was to break from his prison house and
roam through the world seeking whom
he might devour. Poets in the cloisters
were writing of the day of wrath, and
monks and friars were preaching to the
multitudes of the dreadful hour when
the earth was to pass away in smoke and
fame. Then appeared comet which
glittered and grew in the skies for nine
days and, as Professor Proctor quotes
from an old chronicler: "rhe heavens
opened and kind of flaming torch fell
upon the earth. leaving behind long
track of light like the path of flash of
lightning. Its brightness was so great
that it frightened not only those
who were in the fields. but
even those who We're in their
houses. AS this opening in the sky
slowly closed men saw with horror the
figure of dragon, whose feet were blue
and whose head seemed to grow larger
and larger" The terror was great, and
all things considered it was more rea-
sonable than like feeling would now
be. Fortunately, however, the year
passed and old earth went on as merrily
as ever around the sun at the lively rate
of some twenty miles the second. A
little more than 500 years later (l52S)
comet appeared, of which Andrew
Pare said it twas so horrible and dread
full and engendered such terror in the
minds Of men that they died, some fol
| fear alone, Others from illness engen-
dered by fear. 1t was of immense
length and blood-red color; at its head
was seen the figure of curved arm
holding a large sword in the hand rs il
ready to strike. At the point of the
sword were three stars, and on eithel
side a number of axes, knives and
swords covered with blood, among
which were many hideous human faces
with bristling boards and hair" Thi'
accurate description was given onl,
about a century before the birth of Sil
