NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

But the day OF The Lord will come ~ II thief
III the night; in the which the heavens shall
pass away with II great noise, and the elements
shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also
and the works that are herein shall be burned
up.-Il Pet. iii, 10.
When, in reference to the dissolution of
our globe and its APPENDICES, it is said
that ''thc heavens shall pass away with a
great noise. the aerial heaven, or the sur
rounding atmosphere is to he understood
How this appendage to our world may be
dissolved, or pass away With 2 mighty
noise. it is not difficult to conceive, now
that we have become acquainted with the
nature and energies ofits constituent parts.
One essential part Of the atmosphere con-
tains The principle Of tiare: and if this
principle were not counteracted by its con-
nectien with another ingredient, or were it
let loose to exert its energies without con-
troll, Instantly one immense flame would
envelope the terraqueous globe, which
would set on fire the foundations eli the
mountains wrap the ocean in blaze, and
dissolve not only Goals and wood and other
combustibles but the hardest substances
in nature. 1t is mere than probable that,
when the last catastrophe of our globe ar
ryes, the oxygen and nitrogen, or the two
constituent principles of the atmosphere,
will be separated by the interposition of
Almighty Power. And the moment this
separation takes place, it is easy to con
ceive that a tremendous conclusion will
take place, and the most dreadful explo-
sion will resouEd throughout the whole
expanse which surrounds the globe, which
will stun the assembled world and shake
the earth to its foundations. For ii, in
chemical experiments conducted on
small scale, the separation of two glasses,
or their coming III contact with the prin-
ciple of flame, is frequently accompanied
with loud and destructive explosion, it
is impossible to form an adequate idea Of
the loud ard tremendous explosion which
would ensue were the whole atmosphere at
once dissolved and its elementary princi-
pies separated from each other and left to
exert their native energies. \ sound rs ii
creation had burst asunder and accom-
papied the next moment with universal
blaze, extending over sea and land, would
nresent a scene Of sublmity and terror
which would more than realize all the
striking descriptions given in scripture of
this solemn scene hilos. eta Future State.

A cup Of powdered borax on your wash
stand will do wonders in the way OF soft
ening the skin. If you have been working
in the garden or doing anything about the
house which has tended TO make your
hands rough, when You wash them dip
your fingers in the borax and rub your
hands well with it. The safest and best
thing also for washing the hair is a moder-
ately strong solution of borax in water.
Pure water should be use Immediately
after wash ing with the berax and water.
Our lady readers who have not used
borax have been losing great help
and comfort If once tested none will be
without il on the toilet table. 1t removes
stains and dirt from the hands better than
SOAP. and at the same time softens anl.
smooths the skin. 1t is excellent for wash
ing laces. and will without injury cleanse
brushes and combs in few moments. 1t
extracts dirt from articles of delicate tex
ture without rubbing, it being only necess-
airy to put them to soak in solution OF
borax over night, and to rinse them in the
mcrning. Two tablespoonfuls of pull
verified borax dissolved ia quart OF
water, to which add enough water to
cover a pair Of blankets, will cleanse them
beautifully. Ii also saves great labor in
washing paint. -iiaFs Journal Of Health

MUSTERED OUT.

They came M the street in The moons sunny
glow,
dozen or more of gray headed old boys.
In Grand Army uniform-solemn and slow.
To monotonous beat of drums unified
noise
With no shout Of command, no thought of
display,
As solemn as death and as still as prayer:
Men ha ted TO look and then turned away,
And flag fiuttered ont in the cool autumn
air.
A hearse, black as night, led the way up The
street:
Before it The teams drew back and dispersed
Like clock on the stones rang the mems
marching feet
Their eyes to The front and their uiuskets
reversed
They filed around the bend in the sun and the
gold,
The crowd scattered ont like feathery foam,
But deep in each heart had the story been told
That another old soldier was going home
Where was it he fought in the nations war?
At Gettysburg, Atlanta, in East or West?
What was his regiment, brigade and corps?
Oh, what are the odds with his heart at rest,
That heart which thrilled with Il PATRIOTS
pride,
That once throbbed ont with an impulse
grand,
As his feet kept step by mis- comrades side,
And the Old flag fluttered across the land
That heart which answered the sudden call,
Without Il doubt. when The summons came,
And barred its beating for shell or ball.
And held him firm in the burning flame
Twas then that he counted this Nation more
Than jingling dollars, or home and wife;
Closed up, deserted, the shop or store,
And exchanged his ease for a soldiers life.
Twas then that his manhood spoke aloud,
And tranpled under each narrow creed,
While beneath The shade of the powder cloud
He sealed his ftiIh with heros deed.
Why should you ask where the act was done?
Why should you question, as if in doubt!
BE he general or private, with sword or gun.
His duty Is oyer--hos mustered out.
