Mrs. Murphy's refusal to change

efforts she is making for the eleva-
ton of the colored race.

TO the human understanding The vast
stretches Of time involved in geological
history arc utterly incomprehensibIe. 1t
is not easy. indeed, to form an idea Of
what period even million of years Is,
though Croll tells us how a striking i'm
preston Of such lapse may be conveyed to
the mind. Stretch piece of paper eighty
three feet four inches long around the
walls Of 4 room somewhat over twenty
feet square, recall the events of life to
give some conception of hundred years,
and then consider that mark one-tenth
Of an inch broad at one end OF the paper
represents the century, while the whole
strip gives place for only million years.
This Illustration is worth trying.
Could we stand, continues the author
of Climate and Time" upon the edge OF
a gorge, mile and half in depth, that
had been cut out of the solid rock by
tiny stream scarcely visible at the bottom
ofthis terrible abyss, and were we informed
that this little streamlet was able to wear
OF annually only one-tenth of an inch from
its rocky bed, what would our conception
DO Of the prodigious length of
time that this stream must have
taken to excavate the gorge? We
should certainly feel startled on finding
that the stream had performed this enor.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble with
which so many seem now to be afflicted ?
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day ii Is as common as any word in
the English language. yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our forefathers in times past
So 1t is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended TO cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding it cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel Is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are
suffering can we'll appreciate cure. We

The Clergyman and His Hat.


An amusing story is told by Boston
clergyman about himself, which goes
20 show how little circumstantial owl
dcnco is worth. This young clergy
man, doing an important mission work
in the city, had lodgings in an old-fash-
ioned house where IL was necessary to
have fire on the hearth, and ii was
during a visit from brother clergy
man that wood was being brought in
for tho winters store. After his friend
had departed the clergyman had occa-
sion TO go out, but could nowhere find
his hat Instead he found very bat
tered and altogether disreputable apol-
ogy for hat hanging on the peg where
his own spick-and-span head covering
had hung before. Circumstances point
cd strongly to tho young man who
was bringing in the wood. and rs
mildly rs possible the clergyman asked
the supposed thief for his hat. An inn
mediate denial Of the theft and an in
dignant outburst Of wrath were the an
swer Pending further action the cler-
gyman kept the youth within sight,
hoping he would repent and return the
stolen property. In a compile of hours
the caller returned, making profuse
apologies for having the wrong hat. A
scene OF embarrassment ensucd rs
might have been expected. --Boston
Post.

how much less bitterncss aud heart burn

In an adjoining column Of tho same paper
was found tho following peculiar cornmen-
tary on the editorial: 81.
''The bitterness OF the controversy in tho
American noard over the question Of proba-
ton after death was very great This
rather shocked She simple minded and ear
nest foreign missionaries who attended tho
sessions Of tho Board, one Of whom said ho
had always thought such questions were

Is II r. fact that there Is but little tolera-
ton in this country, and less than in othersi
"Comparisons are odorous," said Mrs.
Malaprop. Perhaps we have been claim
ing too rluch for this free nation.
We must, admit that In the professions

against new ideas. Preachers preach tho
old doctrines and doctors prcscribe tho old
medicines. Bitter controversies arise when
any thing new is proposed.
But he march OF progress Is not stayed.
Men are travelling heavonward under new
crccds and being curedby new medicines.
Much the same state of facts seem TO ex-
lst in other countries.
When DR.. Robson, n leading physician Of
London, formerly Of the Royal Navy, pro
claimed that Warmers safo cure was a
specific in kidney arrangements, tho hide
bound school 10 which no belonged threat
encd TO debar him from practice, II he did
not recant. But no replied that his state
ment was based on such evidence that he
could not rccant.
Since then, DR.. Wilson, r. r. s. f., editor
Of "Hcalth, q recognized English authority,
announces In his magazine that "Warner's
safe cure Is OF a perfectly safe character
and perfectly reliable" Many English
physicians are now prescribing it.

proprietary medicines. But DIR. Gum,
Dean Of New York Medical College, long
since published; "Warner's safe cure is a
very valuable remedy and says he knows
that many physicians prescribe II, though

CHAPTER XXI.
NY NEMESIS.

| After this episode all was plain sailing.
The inmates Of Eld-Tield and Glen Gore
became fast friends. They were constantly
exchanging visits; constantly dropping in
upon one another ~ unexpected but delight
ful moments; constantly lunching and din
ing together; driving, walking, rowing,
sailing, going 10 church, and. in fact, doing
every thing that firm aud prcsuming friends
are wont to do one with another
Day by day Fairfax's hold over the Prin-
cess became stronger and stronger, while
she never once became aware Of H. Day by
day she began TO look more eagerly for his
appearance. Day by day she took increas-
ing delight in his company, and day by day
more and more appreciated that many-sided
and cultured intellect Of his.
At last the climax came-but far sooner
and IN q mannor far different from that
which he had planned.
Whenever at all worried. he had habit,
as the reader may recall, Of walking about,
gcsticulating and muttering 70 himself his
head cast down and his eyes fixed on the
ground.
One morning II so happened that, while
waiting for Natalie 20 descend from her
room. he thoughtlessly allowed himself TO
fall into a rcveric. The old-time worries
and troubles, his uncertainty, the villainy
Of his present prOccodi Ps-all arose before
him in gigantic proportions. He sighed
deeply,and began his customary promenade
and audible utterancc Of his thoughts. With
clenchcd fists, corrugated brow, end long.
uneven strides, he paced about the room,
muttering 10 himself
my God what shall !, what ran dofn
How long this had continued he never
could be Ger ali, but he suddenly became
aware that be was not alone
He hastily looked up, and there, in the
doorway. holding the curtain aside with one
lovely hand and carrying in the other her
pretty walkinG-sacque that she was about
TO don for little stroll with her caller,
stood Natalie, gssziag with all the intensity
OF her dark eyes upon this strange proceed
ing on the part Of her hitherto cheerful CON-
panion.
Her face, strangely pallid and porplexed,
expressed most curious mixture Of grief,
reproech and commisoration-grie over his
apparent distress, reproach toward herself
at not having hitherto appreciated the mag
nitldc Of his worriment, and toward him at
not having conhded in her; and ccmmisera-
ton that dcaired " expend itself IN active
and imlcdlats assistance. .H..
But pcrIncating al, above all, and far out
shining all, was that look which no strong,
true woman ever gives, or even can give, 10
more than one man in her life time.
Fairfax saw and recognized H. In a
moment the control over his feelings and
countcnancc was lost, He hal been taken at
unawarcs In all points. The warm blood |
surgcd in torrents over his face. His eyes |
