Second life.

Men may inquire solemnly and with
many a doubt whether any other world
than this awaits the human race but,
once admitting second life, the dark
cloud OF punishment must be seen on
that remote horizon. There can be no
second life without memory of the
events of this career. It is the chain of
memory which makes q resurrection from
the dead possible. If person should
arise from the grave and have no con-
seriousness of ever having lived before,
that would be no second life only in
most trifing and unjust sense. DR.. Ed
ward Beecher once published quite q
volume to show that man is now in his
second world, and at death will pass to
his third and last. But if we have most
utterly forgotten any such first life this
is made our first existence by the very
fact of such forgetfulness. If we did all
live once before in this planet or in some
other planet, that fact has been forgot
ten with an amazing uniformity and
thoroughness. Memory makes this our
first life. A thousand volumes from all
the wise men of all nations could not in
tervene, with their learning and elo-
quence, and oppose the simple evidence
OF memory in this strange case. It is
your first world. Your memory can
pick up its twenty or thirty or forty its
sixty years, and can hold them all in or
grasp and say once lived one of those
summers and winters. We can all look
at that bunch Of faded flowers and say
saw them when they were fresh and
beautiful. This recollection is, there
fore, that mental attribute which alone
will make possible a resurrection from
the dead. The only Immortality that
can be thought If is, therefore, one
which can look back upon this first ex-
perience of being. Unless friends shall
know each other, there will be no meet
ing OF friends, for take away the recogni-
ton and all else is empty. Thus the
future world awaits wholly upon mem
ory-the creator of Immortality. Prof.

him in that terrible moment-manifest
IN vain, for repentance could not restore
her to Life, nor blot out the love which
had crushed her heart through all those
weary days of her sad married life.

An Incident of the Blockade.

A correspondent of the Boston Adver-
RSer, discussing the subject of color
blindness, relates the following as coming
under his own experience when en-
ployed in the blockade of the port of
Wilmington, North Carolina, during the
war of the rebellion: "The ships on
blockade duty got under way at sunset,
and at dark moved to their regular sta
tions, some going we'll in toward Fort
Caswell and others further off, keeping
under low steam and in specified beat
10 prevent as far as possible our own
ships from mistaking and firing into each
other, each supposing the other block
ade runner, as did happen more than
once, my own ship getting three 24-pound
shells from one of our own vessels, O
system of challenging and answering sig
nails by showing or flashing ared or white
light was established. AS we all knew
the station or beat of each ship, we could
usually tell with tolerable certainty what
vessel was sighted. But, to prevent ac-
cidents, it was the rule for any ship
doubling to challenge by showing the
challenging signal for that particular
night. If no answering light was shown,
or an incorrect one, the challenger had q
right to fire. One night my own ship
was challenged. We were SO near that
all hands on my vessel knew we'll what
ship made the challenge. We answered
by showing a red light for three or four
seconds. Again we were challenged and
again we answered as before. All hands
were at quarters. Almost Immediately
after our second answer the lock-string
of the 100-pounder rifle on board the
challenger was pulled, the gun, pointed
directly at my ship, happily missing fire.
Before the gun could be reprimed we
were made out, and no harm done. The
next day an interview was had with the
commander of the challenging ship, and
he was informed by me that his chal.
lenges were correctly answered, my.
self seeing it done. Why our answers
were not seen by his ship could not be
made out. He informed me, however,
that he had been many months in com,
mand of his ship, and never before had
that gun missed fire."

What Mamma Said.

The young woman who, with her lover
and little niece, sat in the shadow of the
curtain while the company was in the
room adjoining, had q good deal of pres
ence of mind when the niece said very
loud, kiss me, too, Aunt Ethel" "You
should say kiss me t,Oice, or KISS me two
times, not two" said Aunt Ethel, calmly.
It is to be hoped that the well-known
English "beauty lady" was equal to the
occasion, also, when an elderly and emf
nently respectable gentleman made an
often do, he took the child and kissed
her. "You must not do that" said the
child, struggling, 'T am q respectable
married womanp' "What do you mean,
my dear? ?" asked the astonished visitor.
"Oh, that's what mamma always says
when the gentlemen kiss herl" replied
the artless infant.

. Literary Revolution Chnllsage

The old-line publishers have,
very naturally, not been we'll
pleased with the now famous en-
terprise, "Ihe Literary Revola-
tom" and in depreciation of its
character have laid special stress
upon the claim that In cheapening
books so vastly it is againt the in
terests of American authors. The
Revolution boldly meets this asser-
ton by statements Is follows. 1st.
That they are already paying to
American authors more money
than any other publishing house
that is less than twenty-five years
established. I'd. That American
authors rarely receive from pub.
fishers a copyright exceeding 10
per cent. upon the retail price of
their books actually sold. 81.
That at least one-half, and
probably more nearly three
fOurths, of the books pub.
blished by American authors have
been published at the authors ex.
pense, the publishers furnishing no
money, and paying no copyright,
but themselves receiving q large
percentage upon sales made. 4th.
That they propose hereafter to pay
to American authors for acceptable
manuscripts a copyright of 15 per
cent, instead of 10 per cent, and
they claim that their low prices,
and immense sales resulting there.

An Alabama gentleman gives the
following method OF telling the age
of a horse after he is nine years old:
"After the horse is nine years old
wrinkle comes on the eyelid at the
upper corner of the lower lid, and
every year thereafter he has one
well-defined wrinkle for each year
of his age ever nine. If, for in
stance, u horse has three wrinkle,
he is twelve; If four, thirteen. Add
the number of wrinkles to nine and
you will always get at the age"
