MT aar,uu, On. of Danger.

Last Friday noon the Hon William H. Barnum was pronounced out of danger by his physicians. As early as Thursday noon he was making plans for trip to Chicago. Of course such calculations were premature, but they illustrate Mir Barnum's remarkable energy and push, that does not shrink from any obstacle in his pathway; in fact regarding his proposed trip to Chicago we may say, that was the Barnum of it. Saturday he was able to be moved from his bed to lounge. Monday he sat up considerable and was moved about his room in wheel chair. At this writing (Tuesday afternoon) we learn that he continues to improve and he wrote letter this morning. Those in position to know, say he is as much interested as ever in his extensive business, and gives directions to his ieutenants and seems anxious to know the details of every transaction.

Wonderful Tops.

Eli Giddings, of East Canaan, has constructed top which can be set in motion with a velocity that causes it to spin for 38 minutes. Horace B. Helt, of the same village has constructed one that spins for 45 minutes. No springs or clock work keep the tops in motion. The tops are a marvel of simplicity and consist of brass disk about nine inches in diameter with 8 sharp pointed spindle in the centre. The propelling force is friction, and is applied by crank the axle of which rests against the edge or circumference of the disk. When suf- ficient velocity has been obtained the crank is removed and the top is set upon 8 standard having slight depres- sion to receive the pointed spindle and there the top will continue to spin the length of time stated above.

So we sec they could no, enter in be.
 cause of unbelief. .N

 Earth has realm of purest peace '@ For those who know the Lord, But at it's edge our footsteps cease, . Because we doubt his word. There is a shaded slope that lies Fair in the light of love; We see it with our longing eyes, But scarce it's sweetness prove. Through pastures green run dearest streams,
 While faith and hope bloom there; We, weary, footsore, in our dreams But breathe the fragrant air. Be sure the dear Lord wants His own, These restful paths to know; Else vain the promises thick sown Through Holy Writ that glow. Like Israels flock of old we stand, Our eyes grown dim with grief, Nor enter in "the promised land" Because of unbelief.
