Last Wishes.

Some eccentric people trouble them
selves greatly concerning the disposition
of their bodies after death. An English
woman beqneathed surgeon 800, 600
on condition that he should once in every
year look upon her face, two witnesses
being present. Another lady, of an
economical turn Of mind, desired that if
she should die away from home, her re-
mains, after being placed in coffin.
should be enclosed in plain deal box,
and conveyed by goods train to her ma
tive town. Let no mention, she states,
'.be made Of contents, as the conveyance
will not then be charged more for than
on ordinary package. A French traveller,
recently deceased, desired to be buried
in a large leather trunk to which he was
attached, as it chad gone around the
world with him three times;" and an
English clergyman and Justice Of the
Peace, who, at the age Of twenty three
had married . girl Of thirteen, desired
to be buried in an old chest he Ind Sc
lected for the purpose. In the matter Of
burial, too, ell sorts Of whimsical notions
are cherished. One man wished to be
inferred with the bed on which he had
been lying; another desired to be buried
far from the haunts of man, where ma
ture may "smile upon his remains"
and third bequeathed his corpse for
dissection, after which it was 10 be put
into deal box and thrown into the river.
One man does not wish to be buried ut
all, but gives his body to gas company,
to be consumed to ashes in one Of their
retorts, adding that should the supersti-
ton Of the times prevent the fultilmcnt
of his bequest, his executors may place
his remains in . city cemetery, Ito as
sist in poisoning the living in that neigh
borhood." A person may approve
himself Of cremation. but it is a
little hard when he requires his relatives
to approve Of it also. In cases Of this
kind, it cannot be incumbent upon
friends to regard the last wishes Of the
dying.

it ID true to the 4 under
standing and real to the heart and life.
As in the eyes of Noah a rainbow shown
from the clouds Of storms, so on every
place of gloom in every age, those who
watch have beheld signs and promise Of
our God. But the life here still has tears
and heartache. The bow is broken and
cut off by dark horizon. It is dimmed
by declining sun. Let up go with John
and peer into his great revelation. The
throne of God is there and about it rise the
clouds. What! are these clouds and storms
in heaven? Clouds We may see, but
there are no storms, for the clouds are
made of incense. They are the prayers
of the saints. Tokens are they of need
and blessing, and upon them in complet-
ness round about the throne, there shines a
rainbow in sight like int an emerald.
There all tears shall be wiped from all
faces. Beloved what we know and enjoy
not now, we shall find hereafter.
DR.. Smith announced that in three
weeks another pastor would probably be

work during the three years, and no other
allusion to his departure.
