FORGIVE AND FORGET.

We're we but generous, kind and forbearing,
Soon would this earth be an Eden of flow.
Then would the frowns we are constantly
wearing
Be lost in the laughter OF happier hours;
Then would holier light
Make lifes dark pathway bright,
Shining where anger and discord have met
Then would all warfare cease,
Angels would whisper "Peaceln
If we would only 'forgive and forget.n
When loved friend we have thoughtlessly
wounded,
Let us not seek his forgiveness alone;
owning our error, with courage unbounded,
Oh! letus earnestly strive to atone;
Conquer our pride, and then
Hold out our hand again, -
Sure that our friend will respond to us yet:
Then will he haste once more
knowing our wrath is DER
Eager as we to ''forgive and forget.r
Fen mid the children so artless and loving
Often the voice of dissension may rise;
Angels look earthward with faces reproving
The glances of anger that flash from their
eyes
But ere the night descends.
Lo! all the tumult ends,
Innocent kisses and tears of re ret
Mingle with gracious words,
Teaching the warbling birds \
Ch'!dhood's sweet lesson 'forgive and for
get"
Friends that are dearest may cruelty grieve
us;
Bitter resentment but adds to our pam:
Let us be merciful-soon they may leave us,
Let them not seek our forgiveness in vain.
Though we have suffered long
Under cloud of wrong,
They who have wounded may comfort us yet;
Tongues can but idly preach,
Only kind actions teach
Lies noblest lesson, "forgive and forget

A Dangerous Experiment.

A new and dangerous development OF
mesmerism was displayed the other day
at Paris to an admiring and sympathizing
public by well-known mesmerist, who,
at the same time, is lion keeper in q
certain menagerie. A beautiful young
girl on whom the mesmerist generally
practices, was brought into cage of
lions, and, after being thrown into q
cataleptic sleep, was submitted to the
most frightful ordeals. In one of these
the head and arm of the girl were put
into the mouth of the lion, which had
previously been infuriated by lashes from
its masters whip. But the apparently
dead body did not excite the animals
appetite. At the end of the scene the
girl was released and went smiling away
while the mesmerist earned rich laurels

ChurcI, Fires.

The Chronicle states that nearly eight
hundred churches-an average of about
eight per month-have been destroyed by
fire in the United States in the past nine
years. According to the fire tables of
the above-named journal, there were
one hundred and nineteen churches de-
stroyed during the year 1882, at loss of
$672, ,17O and loss to insurance COM
panies of 1912, $50. Among the princi-
pal causes ascribed for these fires are de-
fective fiues and heating apparatus and
incendiarism. The incendiary is no re-
specter of buildings, and not only bears
his flaming torch through the thorough
fares of our large cities, but also appears
at intervals in our smaller cities and OBJ
scurc country towns. Churches, and
particularly those located in country
towns, are too often built of the cheapest
and weakest material, and present strong
temptations to the inherent lovers of fires
and easy prey to the fire fend. Church
societies owe it to themselves to pay more
attention to the building of their editices
as well as to the prevention Of fire.

A School in Tunis.

We visited a college for young boys in
Tunis, North Africa writes a correspond
ent. The class-rooms were small, without
windows, and lighted from the entrance
door only. Little benches foot high
were used for desks, the scholars and
teachers sitting on the floor. They all
studied aloud Each scholar in reciting
took his seat directly in front of the teach
er, and within easy reach of his rod, both
continually swaying their bodies back and
forth. Most of the professors were quito
young men, with very intelligent faces.
French is considered very essential in the
education of boys The poor girls are not
educated at all, very few being able to
read,, We only heard of three who had
this accomplishment, and these were tho
daughters of the secretary of the bey.
The women spend their time in making
their clothes, dressing and sleeping,

5 Eating Lemons.

A good deal has been said through the
papers about the healthfulness of lemons.
The latest advice is how to use them so
they will do the most good, as follows:
Most people know the benefit of lemon
ade before breakfast, but few people
know that it is more than doubled by
taking another at night also. The way
to get the better of bilious system with
out blue pills or quinine is to take the
iuice of one two or three lemons, as ap-
petite Graves, in as much water as makes
it pleasant to drink without sugar, before
going to bed. In the morning, on rising,
at least half an hour before breakfast,
take the juice of one lemon in a goblet
of waite. This will clear the system OF
humor and bile with efficiency, without
any of the weakening effects of calomel
or congress water. People should not
irritate the stomach by eating lemons
clear; the powerful acid of the juice,
which is always corrosive, invariably
produces inflammation after awhile, but
properly diluted so that it does not burr
or draw the throat it does its mCdica
work without harm, and when th'
stomach is clear of food has abundan
opportunity to work over the system
thoroughly, says medical authority. r.

/. A Peculiar Weed.

A curious kind of weed which grows
in the Arkansas valley has often proved
misleading to sportsmen. 1t is shaped
like ball and varies in size from one
foot or less in diameter to five or six
feet, some specimens, being as tall as a
man. 1t grows upon a small stem,
which is however, stout enough to bear
the mass till it had ripened and dried,
when a puff of wind will blow it over
and snap the slender support; Then it
is that every gust of wind sends it rolling
over the prairie, bounding over bushes
and rocks with the greatest elasticity
and lightness. When the wind is strong
and high these tumbling weeds present q
most peculiar appearance as they bound
from rock to rock, and in more than one
instance hunters have mistaken them fol
bisons and felt considerable irritation al
the impossibility of bring them within
range Of their guns.

In the Possession Of THEY o..

ST. PAUL, june 29-The hanging Of
O'Neill and his companion and the
mysterious disappearance Of two more
thieves OF the plain have been related
at length. Information coming from
the Gallien brothers, who own a rancho
near Belfield, Dakota, shows chat the
settlers near there, in fact through
out the country tributary to MSdora,
Dickinson and Belfel4, live in con-
tinual terror. One OF the Gallien' 3
came to St. Paul recently, and in con-
fdential conversation, stated that an
organized band of thieves had made
both life and property insecure
In the neigh borhood of Belfe,d.
" Tho thieves drive away every head OF
stock, leaving the ranchmen COM
pletely destitute of animals with which
to prosecute farm work. Efforts to re-
gain the stock are fruitless, and the civil
authorities are powerless, or pretend ia
be 80. No one trusts his neighbor, &c
that forming vigilance committees is
out of the question. In short, the
country, according to Mr.. Gallien, Is SC
COM pletely in the power of thieves that
they .tole $1,000 worth of stock neal
Belfeld within four days. and not a
head was recovered nor thief brought
to justice. In this state of things, Mr
Gallien appealed to General Terry fol
aid, but the United States troops art
powerless to do anything except in cas'
of armed insurrection. General Terry
is considering the case, and if lega
method for 70 doing appears, Is likely
to send cavalry to the place.
