number of noted men have preached the
gospel. 1t has already been mentioned that
EbeneZer Erskine was pastor of the High
Church from 1871, until he was thrust out
of the Church of Scotland. At the time of
the restoration of Charles the Second, Rev.
James Guthrie was pastor of the High
Church of Stirling. He was a man of emf
the Scotch generally, loyal to the House of
Stuarts. This, as in the case of the Duke of
Argyle, was not sufficient to shield him
from the malicious prosecutors. Guthrie
was accused, condemned and executed at Ed
inburgh, on the 1st day of June, 1861. His
head was fixed on the netherboW, his arms
torn down, and his estate confscated. For
twenty ty-seven years the head of this good
man remained a spectacle on the neither
bow until a student in Edinburgh College,
by the name of Alexander Hamilton, at the
risk of his life, took it down and buried it.
It is remarkable that Alexander Hamilton
succeeded James Guthrie as pastor of the
High Church in Stirling.
There is strange incident in connection
with the head of James Guthrie, which
without vouching for its absolute truthful
ness, may here be related. 1t was at the
that James Guthrie was put to death. Soon
after the head of the executed martyr was
fixed on the netherbow, the coach Of Mid
dleton passed under it, and while passing
few drops of blood fell from the head on
the top of the coach. Every effort was
made to wash out the stain, but without
success. Chemists were called to examine
into the matter as to whether or not there
was any natural reason why the blood stain
could not be removed. This strange Incl
dent spread like wild fire far and near.
That was superstitious age, and we may
we'll suppose the effect upon the populace
was very great. TO get rid of the blood
stain, when every other means failed, the
old cover of the coach was removed and a
new one put on.
James Guthrie was the first individual
who suffered unto death because he was op-
posed to Erastian supremacy, and James
Renwick the last. The period, the begin
ming and end of which is marked by the
martyrdom of these worthless, is with emf
nent propriety called the "killing time."
James Guthrie and James Sharp, after
wards the notorious Archbishop of Sharp,
were in st. Andrews college at the same
time, Guthrie as regent and Sharp as a stu
dent. Sharp was very promising, but Guth-
rie made the following prediction concern
lug him:
''If thou, Sharp die the common death of men
I'll burn my bill and throw away my pen.'

HOW I'LL GO TO HER.
BY ARDENT.

On the soft, cool and balmy breeze
That comes to herald in the morn,
Dancing with joy among the trees
Till the leaves in concert lisp song,
And on its sweet, lnelodious chime
Bounding away with it I'll rove
Through every realm and every cline,
Nor will halt till I've found my love.
And on the suns bright rays at noon,
When all is cheerful, warm and bright,
I'll try to find upon them room,
And there with joy and great delight
I'll 90 with them as on they fly,
Nor will weary by night or day,
Till at her feet PROSTATE lie,
And give myself to her away!
And so at night, on Luna's beams,
And all the tides that they make flow,
Yea, in all my thoughts. in all my dreams,
Away to her on them I'll go;
And were now from my body free
I'd go quicker than lightning dart,
Nor would weary till should be
Nestled for life within her heart.
And on Aurora's golden wings,
The purple bushes Of the eve,
And the richest odor that ever springs
From the bursting flower when it leaves.
Rejoicing, on with it I'd go,
Swifter than human thoughts can flee
Ger land and sea-nor weary, no,
Till my love again should see!
Yea, on light of every star
That crown with beauty all the sky,
Dispensing light both near and far,
Yes, on them all to her I'd fly
With heart o'erfiowing with love and glee,
Outstripping far the carrier dove;
For there 8 no rest on earth for me
= Till have found again my love!
Then life will be all radiant,
Almost equal to heaven above,
And each day brighter as it's spent,
When have found the one 1love,
And we in union both find rest,
A single mortal can never know.
Op'ning fountain in each other's breast,
From whence constant joy will ever flow
Nothing then here shall give us pain,
Nor can aught ever come amiss,
For whether we lose, or whether we gain,
Twill add still something to our bliss,
Allaying fear or increasing power,
Orgiving to hope brighter ray,
AS on we speed through life each hour
To heaven for us not far away.

A CURIOUS TRAD1TIoN.-The Abyssini-
ans have a curious tradition as to the GUS
tom of burying the dead. They say that
when Adam found the body of the MUIR
dered Abel he carried it about on his shoul-
ders for twenty days, not knowing how to
dispose of it. The Almighty took pity on
him, and sent forth crow with a dead
young one on its back. The crow flew be-
fore Adam until it came to tract Of sandy
ground, in which it dug hole with its feet
and there buried its young one. When Ad-
am saw this he dug grave in the sand and
buried his dead boy in it.

How Afghans Fight.

An English correspondent in Asia, re- ferring to the fighting qualities of the Afghan soldiery, says: "An Afghan never thinks of asking for quarter, but fights with the ferocity of tiger, and clings to life until his eyes glaze and his hands refuse to pull pistol trigger or use n knife in dying effort to main or kill his enemy. The stern realities of war were more pronounced on the battle fields in Afghanistan than perhaps they have ever been in India, if we except the retributive days of the mutiny. To spare wounded man for minute was prob ably to cause the death of the next sol- dier who unsuspiciously walked past him. One tbing our men certainly learned in Afghanistan, and that was to keep their wits about them when pursu- ing an enemy or passing over hard-won field. There might be danger lurking in each seemingly inanimate form studding the ground, and unless care and caution were exercised the wounded Afghan would steep his soul in bliss by killing a Kaffir just when life was at its last ebb. This stubborn love of fighting in er- treDais is promoted doubtless by fanat- icism, and we saw so much of 1t that our men at close quarters always drove their bayonets well home, so that there should be no mistake as to the deadliness of the wound. The physical courage which distinguished the untrained mobs who fought so resolutely against us was worthy of all admiration; the tenacity with which men, badly armed and lack ;Dor eLillad leaders cluno tO their ,,Osi- tions was remarkable, to say nothing of the sullen doggedness they often showed when retiring. But, when the tide of the fight set in fully against them, and they saw further resistance would in- volve them more deeply, there was SO sudden a change always apparent that one could scarcely believe the fugitives hurrying over the hills were the same men who had resisted so desperately but a few minutes before. They acted wise lv: they knew their powers in sealing steep hills, or in making their escape by deetness of foot, and the host generally
 dissolved with rapidity which ID one but an eyewitness can appreciate. If cavalry overlook them, they turned like wolves and fought with desperation, sell ing their lives as dearly as men ever sold them: but there was no rally in the true sense of the word, and but faint attempts at aiding each other. Their regular troops were but little amcnable to dis eipline. by reason of deficient training, and they resorted to the tactics they had pursued as tribesmen when once they were forced to retire.

 A BOY with telescopic eye is said to be among the wonders of Paris. One eye is as large as a silver dollar ana the other as small as a French pea. Up to a few months ago this large eye was of no use. But after an operation upon 1t an astonishing change occurred. The eye became telescopic in its range, and the boy could expand or contract the pupil at will. At night he could see the rings and moons of Saturn, and the newly-discovered satellites of Mars. Then it was discovered that the other eye was microscopic, a drop of water appearing to him through it as world of life.

Take Life Rasy,

We are apt to make life altogether too serious. If we should wake up in the next world and find there was none, we should have occasion to reproach ourselves for many neglected oppor- tunities for good time lost. We are too ambitious to get rich. And Ii there is another and hotter world than this. those of our restless, over-reachlng toiling rich men, who find themselves where their gold is melting and water IS scarce, may regret that they did not make better use of their money ln country where 1t was current, and at time when 1t was at par. It was the evident intention of the Creator to make the life of his creatures an enjoy able and a pleasant one. To birds and bears and fishes He gave the air and earth and water for their enjoyment; to them He gave but little care-that of procuring food for themselves and for their young the young are not too long permitted to depend upon the parents care. To man He gave dominion over the earth; and through art and science, skill, labor and indus try, he is to subject it to his use. That use is for the advancement of his pleas ure, for healthful, rational enjoyment The man or woman who does not make that use of life is as unnatural and ur~ grateful, as wicked and absurd, as the well-fed bird who sits in the sun and will not sing. And the parent who does not delight in seeing children en- iov themselves is as unnatural as. the austere sheep who sulks and frowns when lambkins sport upon the meadow in the sunlight. There is more; sum- shine than shadow, if we only look for it; there are more gay than grave | things; there is more of music and mel ody, and joy, and gladness in the nat- ural universe than there is of sad, sol- emn sound and gloomy sight. The ] bright and glorious orb around which our earth revolves has only here and there a dark spot upon its shining sur face: the moon is always half in light and reflects more sunshine than shadow, the stars are ever bright, and when hidden by the darkness of intervening clouds, these are silver-hned. There are
 Books in the running brooks;
 Sermons in the stones, and good III eVerytnlne'
 There Is music in the rustling wind, the babbling stream, the insects breath ing hum, the song of birds aud whirr of cities; solemn anthems sung in the for ests' leaves, and sublimest melody from the ocean wave. There are grand paintings by the Master hung upon the arching vault as the sunset fingers upon our western sky; scenes upon our hills as they change from emerald green to russet brown more gorgeous landscaper in our valleys than Claud Lorraine could paint; more beauties in the heart of mountains than the glowing pencil of artists can catch and transfer to can- vas. This is jolly world of ours If we would make it so. It is 8 glorious life spread out for our enjoyment for the three score years and ten of our allot- ment, if with happy hearts and cheer full minds we would make it SO. Too many of us, ambitious for power, eager to grow rich. annoyed by small ve1a- tions. make life a constant battle troU the cradle to the grave.

\ Singular win Contest.

BosToN, Fob 2l.-General Butler appeared in
the County Probate Court yesterday as counsel
for the widow Of a man named Augustus ii.
Hurd, who died recently at Jamestown d. r.
leaving an estate of $4,000. Another woman
also claims to be his widow, and in the testimony
it appears that Hurd had undoubtedly gone
through the marriage ceremony with both WON
en-. The point in contest was the legality of the
second union.
Hurd was UP to 1883. resident of this city.
and married to General Buffers client. lie grew
tirod OF his wife, and, finding that there was no
legal ground for divorce according to the
laws of Massachusetts, he left his home at Bos-
ton and took up his abode in Bismarck, ID. T.,
where he began proceedings for d divorce. His
prayer was granted by the Dakota coUrts, but he
failed to inform his wife of the severance of their
nuptial ties. although he soon after re entered
the matrimonial bonds as the husband of Mrs
Ella T.. Frost fair widow or Dakota In
August, 1854 Hurl died leaving two Wills. one

will has been admitted TO probate in Dakota. but

The Suakiln ExDedition.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-General Graham who is to
command the Suakim expedition, before his de-
parture for Suakim had an interview with
lsmai Pasha, ex-Khedve of Egypt and Rehib
Pasha, both of whom are in London. Rehib
warned General Graham that if he undertook to
go from Suakim in March he would court disas
ter. The HANSEN wind, he said, is fatal to
Europeans 1t begins in March and blows for
five weeks. Ismal Pasha advised General Ora
ham to begin his campaign in the autumn.
He also "1vised the gradual construction of the
Suakim- Berber railway. which could be greatly
strengthened against attacks from the enemy by
block-houses at short distances apart.
The London Army and Navy Gazette says a
march through the desert with the HANSEN
blowing will insure to tho English forces the
fate of the army of Cambysses.
A Suakim telegram says: Enormous numbers
Of hostile Arabs are massing at Tamai. Only a
few of the enemy are at present no
ticed along the coast hereabouts. The
Mahdis followers at Hasheen are alarmed
at the approach of the British. The Amarar
tribessare reported as preparing to desert Osman
Dgna as soon as the British advance against
him. The. Italians at Beilul refuse to permit
Egyptian troops to land there. The Italians are
entrenching at Massowah and building pier for
landing stores and troops
1t is said the Turkish officials at Jeddeh exhibit
hostility to the British at Suakm and refuse to
furnish them with either supplies laborers
The Turks at Jeddeh are circulating reports that
the British troops in the desert have been mas
