A beautiful, wealthy, accomplished
girl had heard her sentence pronounced
dying of consumption.
The cherished darling of her home, the
petted idol of society, the recipient of all
that love and wealth could procure.
would all these weigh nothing in the
balance that was hanging suspended with
death? Alas the answer was-noth-

And in her life of ease and pleasure
what had she done for Christ. Again the
answer came-nothing.
She must not die with that word on
her lips. 1t would not satisfy her Judge
that she had always been in her hand

A House on Legs.

A number of years ago party of
English naturalists, with several ma
tive attendants. penetrated a previous
ly unexplored portion of India for the
purpose of establishing stations, and
eventually opening up a country very
rich in natural advantages. Upon
reaching a suitable spot, the workmen
commenced their task of erecting a
substantial building. 1t was neces-
sary to have large cellar and deep
excava ton was made.
The. earth was dry and sandy, and
was worked with ease. The absence
of large stones was noticed; indeed,
there was found no hard substance
that would have interested geologist.
But late in the afternoon of the first
days work, one of the natives struck
his pick against resisting substance.
Another blow, and the implement
broke through into a hollow space.
The earth being scraped away, large
smooth object was exposed, of so
strange an appearance that the atten-
tion of the commanding officer was
called to it. He at once pronounced
| it bone.
The fact that they had come upon
the grave of a strange animal created
great excitement, and all hands went
to work clearing away the sand. As
| they progressed, their wonder and
amazement increased also; their dis
covery began to assume the shape of q
dome, and appeared to be rounded off.
| Finally, when four feet or more of sand
had beer cleared away, they saw a
hut-shaped object, that seemed,
| through the hole made by the pick, to
| be partly hollow. The natives one and
all thereupon declared it a hut, or
house, built by some of their ances-
tors. that had in course of time been
covered by earth Others thought it
one of the dwelling places of strange
| people who lived under the earth; but
| to the English naturalists there was a
| more simple explanation, for the cur
| ious house was the shell of gigantic
| turtle belonging to an age long past.
| The work progressed rapidly; and
though exposed to the sun some parts
broke in pieces. the entire shell was
| successfully uncovered and a complete
| restoration of it was made.
| The shell was that of land tortoise.
| Hundreds of thousands of years ago il
| had lived and died;-and the dust
sand, and vegetation had gradually
covered it up and preserved it as 9
monument of the animal wonders o.
that ancient time.
So enormous was the shell that wher
the sand and dirt were removed. sew
eral of the men crawled into it; in fact,
it might have been used as a house
and on a subsequent occasion was Sc
used by party who took refuge in il
during a sudden shower" Giant Tar

one side of the bag three inches longer
than the other; seam together, bind
