OASIS OF GREENLAND.

Nordenskjold, the noted Swedish
explorer in Arctic regions, has again
adopted the idea-long ago given up
by others-that the so-called East
colony in Greenland, where there was
large settlement in the middle ages,
must be searched for on the eastern
coast, east of Cape Farewell, the
south point of Greenland. The East
colony is said to have embraced 100
villages, thirteen parishes, two clois-
ters and one diocese. But owing to
the great devastations caused by the
plague in Norway in the middle of
the fourteenth century, the connec-
ton with the mother country was in
terrupted, the colonists were left to
themselves, lacking everything, SO
they were unable to defend themselves
against the Esquimaux population,
the so-called ssSkrollinger, who, only
in 1879. are reported to have fallen
in with the Mortimer. The naviga-
ton on Greenland stopped, and grad
ually the eolonists died from hunger
and privations, or they succumbed in
their struggles with the Esquimaux,
the details of which are unknown to
us.
During an expedition made in the
years 182S-31 the Danish naval Off
Ger Crash believed to have proved
that the East colony should be search
ed for near Inlianchaab on the west
ern coast. But, as above mentioned,
Nordensjold is of different opinion.
To search for the old Norwegian col
onies, traces of which may possibly
be found east of Cape Farewell, is
but a subordinate aim of the new
travelling plan conceived by the great
discoverer. Nordensjoh principally
proposes to penetrate thirty or forty
miles into the inland ice fields of
Greenland, and there to search for
eventual oasis, the existence of which
j is confirmed by several facts scien-
tifcally proved, and traces of which
were discovered by the German Are
tic expeditions.
The eastern part of Greenland has
a strongly marked Alpine character,
and is still less known than the west
ern part, which may be called a plat
eau of glaciers. The country is indie
scribably wild and difficult to pene-
trate into, owing to the breaking up
of the mountains into huge walls, the
large extent of the glaciers and the
depth of the snow. Another impedi-
ment to the exploration of the coun-
try is the softness of the soil during
the season when the snow melts. The
country, which is frozen and hard as
stone during the larger part of the
year, can only in summer be explor-
ed. and even then with difficulty. The
soil then is quite soft, the lower parts
of the country are changed into
swamps and the slopes are inundated
| by the floods of the melted snow
drifts. The celebrated discoverer,
however, does not mean to be deferred
by such difficulties.

FREEZING A WIFE.

Young husbands, as soon as the
matrimonial moose is tied leave off all
those little civilities and attentions
which made you so pleasant and
agreeable to your lady-love in the
days of courtship. Do not fail to
mention every fault and imperfection
you discover in your wife's disposi-
tion which, of course, you must give
her to understand you did not know
she possessed, OF she would sever
become your wife; and when in Gem
pany, pay more attention to every
other lady than you do to her. Ex-
patiate largely on the beauty and
merits of certain lady friend of
yours, whom you once thought of
addressing. In after years, as your
household treasures increase. leave
all the care and worry of them to
her; never offer to tighten her bur-
dens by amusing the little ones when
you are about the house; take to
your book or paper and require each
little one to keep quiet and let you
read. If they fail to obey. scold,
fret and whip them soundly, and
wonder why she does not teach them
to mind when they are spoken to-
When the baby is teething, or James
has the Group, retire early to rest,
leaving her alone with the wide
awake sufferers, and while she adj
ministers medicine (spilling half for
the want of some one to assist, then
walks with it in her tired arms up
and down the floor until ready TO
faint, then rocks it and rubs it, while
its screams continue to pierce her
mothers heart like arrows, you sleep
on unmindful of its physical suffer-
ing or her WEAKNESS and anguish,
even if she call you anon more loudly
each time, until in despair she gives
up all hope of arousing you. Con-
tinue to follow these instructions ten
years, and if your wife's heart is not
as cold as an iceberg toward you at
the end of that time you may rest
assured that she has sparkle of in
sanity in her composition.

BY ARTHUR WENTWORTH EATON,
In other days, men built their faith
On wondrocs portents in the sky,
On marvels, miracles. and signs,
And awful visions from on high.
Angels were said to walk the earth,
In robes of dazzling whiteness dressed;
Sometimes, halfforgotten saint
Left his abode among the blest,
And came TO visit men once more,
Travel again familiar ways,
A shadowy creature slow and strange
Among the busler, later days.
Sometimes, amid the parted waves,
In solemn march men crossed the sea;
And once a lofty teacher walked
Upon the waves of Galllee.
Alas alas ! the search for truth
Is making havoc with the creeds:
Angels and miracles to US
Are holy thoughts and blessed deeds.
Yes, faith is dead! the skeptic cries,
Good reasons reign has come at lasti
No longer faith is fixed upon
Poetic legends of the past.
Faith is not dead Truth cannot sleep!
There is no backward march of things:
Eternal love and justice keep
The life of man in leading strings.
Worship IS true and right is right,
Love loses not its loveliness:
The thoughts of God by day and night
Have endless power to cheer and bless.
Angels may visit earth no more,
Nor miracles be done again,
The current creeds may lose their power
But faith lives on in man and men.

An Ohio merhcant tells the follow
ing odd story about himself. Where
he lives is secret, except that it is
not mile and half from the Xenia
Court House.
"When was about II years old
/ made trip to Cleveland in the old
fashioned stage coach, with its
spanking four horses. At Mount
Vernon, about P. M, pretty girl
came aboard. She sat in the back
seat, next to an elder father-like
looking man. l was on the middle
seat Immediately in front of her. She
was charming talke1, and almost as
brilliant as she was pretty. 1t look
ed as if we were mutually pleased.
When dark came | concluded there
would be no harm in giving her hand
a gentle squeeze by way of feeler.
I reached behind and got hold of her
hand. / was little startled at the
hardness, but it returned the vice
like pressure. / squoze again, and
it squoze back. A sense of disap-
| pointment would steal over me when
in my mind / would contrast the
seeming toughness of her hand with
/
the tenderness and sweetness of her
voice. The contact did not seem to
arterialize my blood quite up to the
point of exhilaration. At last she
reached her destination and left the
coach. After we had started again
that old rooster who sat beside her
addressed me thusly: Young man,
do you feel all right? You had a
nice time tugging at my old paw for
the last five miles; hope you enjoyed
it. The two young ladies in the
front seat giggled all the way to the
next station, and the gentlemen pas
sengers didn't forget to smile when
/ looked up. / have been more sue
cessful since in that line.

One pound of learning requires ten
pounds of common sense to apply it.
This is the reason why SO many men
with but limited education outstrip
thousands of our college graduates in
the race for life-men in all profess
ions and trades. Education is
good thing, the best equipment, with
character, that any young man can
possess when starting out to battle
for himself. But how often do we
see graduates of colleges left far in
the rear by men with but tenth of
their knowledge of books, but far
above them in practical common sense
and persistent, intelligent industry
rugged characters who would have
been greater men had they possessed
the book learning of their college
competitors, and held fast to their
common sense.-Pfesbyterian Oh

Booths Opinion of Irving.

4tttFCtcW IN AeO 4 OFh HePIfU.
"Mr. Irving possesses more patience
than do, as frequently noticed during
the two weeks we were rehearsing
'OthellO' at the Lyceum, before we PLAYED
in it together. He is despOtic on his
stage, commanding all points, with an
understanding that his will is absolute
law that is not to be disputed, whether it
concerns the entry of mere messenger
who bears a letter or whether il is the
reading of an important line by Miss Ter
nv. From first to last he rules his stage
with an iron will, but as an offset to this
he displays patience that is marvellous.
At rehearsals he Will sit upon the stage
among his players, watching every move
ment and listening to every word, and in
stantly stopping any One-Miss Terry as
readily as the messenger-whO does not
do exactly right. Mr.. Irving rises, eX-
plains the fault, and gives the proper form,
and that part of the scene is immediately
repeated. As he is very exact as to every
detail, and requires its elaboration to a
a nicely, you can readily imagine that
the scene does not quickly reach perfec-
ton, but his patience holds out against
every test it receives. Over and over and
over again the line is recited, or the bit
of action is done, until all is perfect. At
the Lyceum one sees the perfection Of
stage discipline, and in Mr.. irving the
perfection of stage patience
HAS he merely brought picturesque
ness and scenic refinement to the English
stage, or has he done as much tor 1t intel
lectually as we'll. And do you think that
he is as great an artist in all he does as
our English cousins would have us be-

artist, and his earnestness, his scholarly
taste, his intellectually, are as plainly

He is an actor of great natural
