but how changed was now that city
how changed were his prospects!
Nofriends came to meet the apostle,
as. bowed with age and sickness, he was
hurried over the charred ruins of the
Forum and met the carts laden with
material for Nero's new palace on the
Esquiline. No friendly centurion OF
tpretorian guards or Roman Governor
ventured any more to write or speak a
word for the prisoner Paul. If any OF
his friends were still in the Trastevere
they were too panic-stricken and cowed
to put in an appearance. The second
epistle to Timothy is written by q
lonely man who comes to the end of a
life of unprecedented toll and sacrifice,
to face at once martyrdom and failure.
Under these circumstances the last
human desire will not be put down.
He hopes, with all the strength of his
affectionate and forsaken heart, to see
his beloved Timothy. Twice he urged
him to come at once. "Do thy dill
gence to come shortly unto me-" and
"come before winter" All! when
winter came Paul no longer needed
Timothy! But now he was very lonely,
"only Luke was with him." Chris
tianity seemed quite dead. Paul the
only one left-every one had gone of
in fright; Demas had given up the
whole thing; Crescens, and even Titus,
had been glad to get away. So calm
ly, in this last hour of defeat and
loneliness, the great apostle sits down
to encourage Timothy. Watch thou
in all things. Do the work of an
evangelist. Endure Affections. Make
full proof of thy ministry" And this
because-sublime contradiction! = his
own career was approaching its dis
astrous closet "For l am now" he

the time of my departure is at hand. j
have fought a good fight. l have
finished my course, l have kept the
faith; henceforth there is laid up for
me crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall
give me at that day; and not me only,
but unto all them also that love His APP
pearing." And soon after this his hour
came. The tradition runs thus:
They led him out beyond the gate Of
the city which now bears his name
Three miles went the prisoner with the
Roman guards, and such escort as the
last pittance of human fidelity or mere
lounging idleness might gather on the
way. They paused at the place of exc
cution, by the far-famed Salvian springs.
The spot is green. and damp, and ma
larious. A body of ascetic monks have
made their abode and built their sad
monastery over the hallowed shrine of
the "Tre Fontane." The crowd has al
ready thinned; the prisoner is not in
teresting-a poor, shattered specimen OF
humanity! Did he kneel and pray for
the last time as he was wont to pray
with small band by the river, or on
the lone sea-shore? l trow not; there
was scant time for that; may be none
there who would dare to join him. 81

A Caution Against Sulphur Fumes.

Certain paragraphs are now being
freely copied in the press in regard to
the health-giving properties of sulphur
where particular chemical products are
made. 1t is quite desirable, we are
told, ito have sulphur fumes in the
neighborhood," and that such vapors
ought to be regarded as blessings in
disguise. According to the testimony
of unbiased persons, ever since they
have been living in the proximity OF
the establishment from which the fumes
arise, they have never suffered from
coughs or colds. Some of these dis
interested witnesses, persons suffering
from pulmonary diseases. we are in
formed, have moved to the sulphurous
regions and have been benefited by the
change. But all this proves nothing,
save that sulphur, when absorbed into
the human system, shows certain eff
fects. 1t is all very well, when per-
son has a cold in the head, to snuff
sulphur fumes, and thereby receive
some relief, for the properties of this
substance are quite well known. 1t is
quite probable, too, that if man sub
ject to peculiar skin disease were to
work in a sulphur factory his cure
would be rapid. But it is case where
the cure might be worse than the dis
ease. 1t is not a question of quality.
but of quantity. Sulphurous acid in
the air-for in that condition it is al
ways produced in quantity when sui
phur is burned-is not an innOcuous
substance, but very dangerous and cor
rosive, and is quite as destructive OF
animal tissue as sulphuric acid. There
are innumerable substances which, if
taken occasionally or in small doses.
can do no harm, but when absorbed in
a wholesale way, and for long time,
they simply kill.-Boston Transcript.

Jerry's Speech.

When Jerry was six years old he be-
gan to go to school. Toward the end
of the school term the teacher wished
to have an exhibition. All the scholars
were to learn pieces to speak. Jerrys
mother found some verses beginning:
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How wonder what you are"
Jerry thought these verses were very
nice, and with his mothers help he soon
learned them.

Monday and did not return until Tues

he informed the City Marshal, E. o.
Fulmer, that he had been robbed Of his

actions of young man named Edward
Abbott, Who has lately undergone SEN

denied any knowledge of the affair, but
upon being pressed he confessed 70
having stolen it, and sold it 70 Mr.,
