many seem now to be afflicted? Ii you VIII re-

comparatively unknown to day it is as common

our forefathers in time past. SO it is with nervous

all are caused by troubles that arise from dis

THE LOVE LETTER.
1t Is ~ Old as Mankind, and Should Con
seQuently Not he Rtdlculed.

History is hazy concerning the writ
Ing of the first love letter; but mas
much rs love was included in the orig
inal outfit of the human family, it
must have been talked in Eden, and
inasmuch as writing is merely talking
atlong range. it follows-the conclu-
sion we submit is inevitahle-that love
letters passed between the first pair Of
lovers who happened tosbe separated
after the inveation Of writing. IfAdam
and Eve had known how to write and
had known how much pleasure they
could find in the new sensation, we
have no doubt they would have parted
from each other a few days just to in-
dulge in epistolary communication.
True, there was no general %post-office,
no fast mail, no carrier system, no
green stamps in their time, but they
might have left their letters. as mil
lions of their descendants have done,
in a hollow trcc-an apple tree, for in-
stance-or under some loose stone on
the top of the garden wall. Since love
letters are written by every one who
a write at all, or has some congenial
second self to write for them, why

newspapers send q smoker across the

DR. Richards came n day to see q
lady patient at my house. He arrived
In . palapquin. which was put down in
the portico. He went to the lady's room
and paid her q brief visit; and when
no came out of the room no went to
tho palanquin and brought out
= large cobra which he had
brought over to show mo. in order to
prove by experiments in my presence
that a particular kind Of wood. which
. native fakir declared to be an anti.
dote to snake-poison. was Of no value.
1t 10 unnecessary to recapitulate the
experiments. but his familiarity with
the deadly snake was quite alarming.
/ could not help wondering what his
lady patient would have said II she had
known that he had brought a snake
with him to the house. for she was ter
rihy nervous about snakes.
The snake-house in the Geological
gardens in the Regents park Is a most
perfectly designed building for keeping
the snakes in health and for exhibiting
them to the public. The late King Of
Dude had built a snakery in the gar.
dcns of his palace at Garden Reach,
near Calcutta. 1t was an oblong pit
about thirty feet long by twenty feet
broad, the walls being about twelve
feet high, and perfectly smooth, Sc
that n snake could not climb up. In
the center Of the pit there was a large
block of rough masonry, perforated so
that it vas AS full Of holes as a sponge.
In this honeycombcd block the snakes
dwelt; and when the u shone brightly
they came out to bask or to feed. His
Majesty used to have live frogs put into
the pit, and amused himself by seeing
the hungry snakes catch the frogs
When u large snake catches q Nmall
frog, it is all over in an instant; but il
a smallish snake catches a largish
frog. SO that he can not swallow it al
once. the f-og's cries are piteous to
hear. Again and again l have heard
them, while out shooting, and have
gone to the bush or tuft of grass from
which the piercing cries came-some-
times in time, sometimes too late to
save poor froggy, though the snake
generally got shot. As a final story, let
me tell how a frog has been seen to turn
the tables on the snake. Two gentlemen
in Cachar some yeas ago saw Il small
snake seize a small frog and attempt
to swallow it But suddenly a large
frog jumped forward, seized the snakes
tail and began to swallow the snake.
How the affair might have ended a
not be tod, because my friends impru-
IDENTITY drew near to watch the Combat,
when the frogs and the snake took
alarm, and the big frog disgorged the
snakes tail, and the snake released the
little frog, and they all scuttled off,

Here our woven lives must part;

Joy 30 dear will find its woe;
Love 40 full its wounded heart
Thou wilt stay, but I depart
Hence, are, hence from friend and Toe;
Where the spirits Ire. Igo;
Thus our woven li.ss must part
Thou wilt mourn for our lost days,
From the dawn to set Of sun;
And thy ~tireless thought will run -
On aud on through mystic ways;
Skyward thou wilt gaze ans gaze,
Musing with thyself as n
From the shadowy realms oLkspun,
Doomed to mourn for our lost days
Shall l see thee, who can sayr
God knows, faith alone can see
In the vailed eternity,
And l would not blind Its way;
! shall list to hear thee pray;
HAPPY hear q song from thee,
Dwelling by thy land locked sea; .
Shall l know thee, who can sayf
Quickly-like a sudden thought
!, a spirit, winged, may fly
Outward, onward through the sky: !
Hear thee saying-overwroughti
"Ali his love is turned to nought;"
Hear thy troubled bosom sigh;
"All is lost since he must die
Leaving memory distraught."
] shall answer from the skies;
A his love Is turned to fire
Burning purer, deeper, higher,
Far than thine; thy laden sighs-
For thy murmurs-can not rise;
Lo, how foolish thy desire
Clings to earth to faint and tire !"
Thou wilt heal me from the skies.
Vex thee not OF "dust to dust"
Nothingness' nay, do not read
Life in such q barren creed!
Life is neither dust nor lust;
"Dust to dust" not soul to dust;
Frailest thought and lightest deed,
Heavenly born, shall Godward lead;
Only earth is dust to Dust"
