OUR ANGELS.

Oh! not with any sound they come. or sion
W mch heshly ear and eye can recognize
No curiosity can compass or surpass
The secret of that intercourse divine
Which God permits, ordains. across the limo
The changeless line which bars
our earth from other STARS.
But they do come and go continually
Our blessed angels, no less ours than Hi;
The blessed angels whom We think we
miss,
Whose empty graves we weep to name O,
see,
And vainly watch, as once in Galilee.
One, weeping, watched in vain
Where her lost Chl ist had lain.
Whenever in some bitter grief we find.
All unawares, deep, mysterious sense
OF hidden comfort come, we know no,
whence;
When suddenly We see, where We were
blind;
Where We had struggled, are content. re-
signed;
Are strong where we Were weak
And no more strive or seek
Then we may know that from the far. glad
skies,
To note our need, the watchful God has
bent,
And for our instant help has called aud
sent,
OF ali our loving angels, the most wise
And tender one, TO point 10 us where lies
The path that will be best
The path of peace and rest.

Steaming in Muu.

A correspondent from Las Vegas,
New Mexico, says the Las Vegas hot
springs, which are now attracting so
much attention, from their specific Gu
rative qualities, are situated in pla-
teau of about 80 acres, completely sur
rounded by mountains and traversed by
the sparkling Gallinas. A palatial
hotel, also built and controlled by the
railroad, adds to the attractlveness of
the place as a popular resort. There
are about forty springs, OF all degrees
of heat and vIleness of taste, and all
varieties of baths are given, the most
popular of the latter beng mud baths.
The new arrival usually declares that
nothing but case of life or death would
induce HIM to be immersed III the black,
shiny earth. He begins with mud
tub bath and shampoo, tnen his courage
rises to a vapor, medicated or electric
treatment, and finally he succumbs to
the sensation of the hour, the mud bath
mania. A tub is filed with hot earth,
taken from a spot where the mineral
waters tr1ckle through, and about the
consistency of thick paste. In this the
victim Is placed, with bis head protrud-
ing, TO st am for a half hour or SO.
Then ne. Is put under a shower until
cleansed. 1t Is astonishing to see what
people can bring to themselves to do.
Delicate, fastidious ladies, who shrink
iron the ordeal at first with horror and
nausea, become SO found of the baths
as to cry when giving them up; but a
row of the fair creatures, immersed IL
the thick, black stuff, with just their
heads visible, like so many Bluebeard's
wives after the decapItation act, is g
sight more novel than edifying. 1t Il
claimed that this treatment viii curt
rheumatism, neuralgia skin diseases
ETC., and eradicate malaria. A CincIn
ratl doctor has Iutt left the spring
after taking 6S mud baths cured OF
terrible case of blood poisoning.

A German Porter.

A traveller describes the average
porter of the hotels In Germany as a re-
markable being. He is asked more
questions in one day than an ordinary
man can answer III two. He must reply
to one question In Spanish, another in
English, third in dulcet Italian, the
next second he must assume all the
suave politeness OF the mercurial Gaul;
and before the tlste of the last French
nasal adjective has left his mouth, he
must twist his tongue about the many
splrals of Russian consonantal noun.
His gold-banded cap is ever ready to be
lifted, his learned head eager to bend
itself In bow, and his linguistic tongne
willing 70 answer any and all questions
in almost any and all languages. But
even this magnificent man of varied at
tainments,. .decked out aud though he is
in SNOWY uniform, does not refuse to
take what is offered him, be it gold,
silver or copper.
