novel. 1t reads as follows:

that she reaches the angelic period
when temper no longer leads the mas
terry, aud mature thought smoothes
out the rugged outlines of her mental
life. II She understands the art OF
representation she may also retain at
this age the better part Of her phys
lcal charms, and be pretty In spite of

sayages use blankets as D shield against
the soldiers bullets. Holding up a
blanket at both ends, SO that the edge
just touched the ground, the Indian
riiiemen marched boldly toward him
behind this apparently iiimsy protec-
tlon. The Mexican General was soon
alarmed, however. to find that his
bullets did not stop the strange ad-
vance, and the moving fort of blankets
soon came so close to him and poured

fly the field IN confusion and with great
loss. The Yaluis hal become ac-

Dr.. GUERNSEY, in an article on faith
cure, in the -Tedical Times, cites case
in which will power appears to have
successfully supplied the place Of faith.
Among the Pensioners of Rev. DIR.
Taylor, of New Haven, was an ilyalil
lady, who finally took to her bed, where
she continued to receive her pastors
visits. One bitter cold night she sent
for him to console her dying moments,
and declared herself ready to depart in
peace. "If it is his will," she said,
that | shall so to hell, l can still say,
Thy will be done" The physician
who was present became little inn
patient. "Well," said he, "if that is
Gods will, and both you and your
family are reconciled to it, I do not
know that l ought to object. In a
moment the woman was on her feet
shouting, II won't die and I won't go
to hell!' She afterward enjoyed COM
Portable health for years.

In Van Buren, there once lived an old
