The Bell Of the Highlands.

The mysterious ringing of a bell in
the vicinity of the Highlands, on the
Hudson River, is thus accounted for by
an old boatman:
was worried in my mind for a month
before Saturday night. Almost every
night when we passed through the
Highlands, nea. the Storm King, we
would hear bell ring. Sometimes it
seemed to come from the mountain top,
sometimes near the base, and now and
then we would hear the tinkle over
head. We compared notes and couldn't
decide on the cause of it, but the mys-
terry has been cleared up. Somebody
has lost big American eagle. The bird
flew through the streets of Cornwall
last Saturday with steel collar around
its neck, to which was attached good
sized bell, and the bell rang every time
the eagle swooped out of its course.
The hunters are trying to catch the
bird alive. They wouldn't kill it for
the world, because they are supersti-
tious. and believe if they should shoot
it there would be no luck in the future.
/ have no doubt lots Of boatmen have
heard that bell in the night, the same
as l have.

The Burning OF the World.

Adam and Eve. pure as their Paradise,
Did hail its advent with their Orisons.
Fleets were upon the oceans, armies fought,
And countless marts sent up their smoke and
din;
Lovers did clasp. and there were funerals.
Men laughed, and wept, and their own shadows
chased
There came no warning Of the final day.
Hurried the hours. the sun plunged to his
rest,
Drenching the West in blood! Outsprang the
stars,
But changed their aspect for the grief divine.
The god-like pity of their golden eyes
Was gone, and each became a sneer of fire!
The Even was afraid. and there did come
A paralyZing terror In the air.

And like lightninR-s sandaled Hell, the fire,
The avengtng fire. rushed round the recreant
globe!
Rich provinces were shrfveled as If leavesl
T5s roasting nations robed the earth with
shrieks!
The emerald Andes Of the ocean writhed
Above the clouds in their green agony.
But all was over soon. The radiant earth,

W Mandered upon its ancient path. And then
The bright orbs sparklsd, and the great sun

Jerusalem. Jerusalem Is still the child
of faith, dwelling where little grows,
where there is naturally little trade, or
commerce, or manufacturing; drawing
her supplies mysteriously from the
rocks and the skies; yet different races,
different religions, different civilizations
believe in her, and huddle together
about her, awaiting something that
does not appear.
Jerusalem, sitting alone on the rocky
side of Judea. is the sublime child of
faith in the past, looking forward to the
future by faith.

A temperance lecturer in London has
given recently some curious statistics
in regard to the amount expended in
intoxicating liquor. He estimated the
annual average thus spent in the last
ten years at S720,000.0OO. This gives
an expenditure of $60.000,0OO every
month. of S15, 900, 900 every week, and
of S25 every second, night and day.
There are 3.50S, 4S0 letters in the Bible,
and if S205 were placed on every letter
it would represent the annual expen-
diture. The grain consumed by the
brewers and distillers is sufficient to
provide four loaves OF bread per week
to every family in the United Kingdom.
These certainly are startling facts.
