With an earnest zeal and worthy am
litiun, to prepare himself for the Cos
pei ministry to which he had gwen
lm elf in hearty conservation.
HIS means were limited. and he was
ompelled topractice careful economy,
nd to earn what he could toward pay
ng his way. He made no secret OF his
circumstances, but went honestly about
lis business and when not engaged in
study, worked at the printers case in
he office Of the ALMA RECORD, so
eipiug himself along.
by his genial. pleasant manners. and
,ttlwut, straightforward morality, he

ed away. a little before 10 o'clock on
the morning of the 18th. of April.
Victor Ne,lis was 4 lad of rare prom
ise, having good natural ability and ir-
domitable energy and push, which we
hoped would one day make him very
useful man in his chosen work. lie
was much esteemed by his fellow stu
dents and was chosen an officer in two
of their societies,
We cannot comprehend the why of
this strange providence, but we trust
Him who has said, BE still and know
that am God"
We know that lie always does that
which is wisest and there we leave all
our questioning, until in His own best
time. lie shall explain for us the strange
mysteries Of life and death. OF one
thing we are assured bv most comfort

when the Master called him; and the
future. rs he caught glimpses of it
through the clouds, was full of sun

uncomplaining in pain, grateful for
every least attention. His pure, clean
life will ever be a fragrant memory
among those who knew him best and
there nre cheering tokens that his in
fluence was so felt, that it will long be
true of him lie being dead, yet speak

A great cry resounded through the room.
Felicien was standing I'D, as il raised by the
power of the miracle, while the Huberts,
overwhelmed by the same feeling, re-
NAMED upon their knees, with wonder
striker eyes, with delighted countenance, be-
fore that which they had seen. The bed
had appeared to them enveloped with a
brilliant light; white masses seemed still to
be mounting up on the rays of the sunlight,
and the great walls, the whole room in fact,
kept white lustre. as that of snow.
In the midst of all, Angelique, like re-
freshed lily. rep!ac d upon its branch. APP
peared in the clear light. Her fine golden
hair was like halo of glory around her
head, her violet-colored eyes shone divinely,
and her pure face beamed with living
splendor.
Felicien, seeing that she was saved,
touched by the divine grace that heaven had
vouchsafed them, approached her, and knelt
by theside of the bed
All, dear soul, you recognize us now, ana
you will live. / am yours. My father
wishes it to be so, since God has desired it. "
She bowed her head, smiling sweetly as
she said:
''Oh! L knew it must be so, and waited
for it. All that | have foreseen will come
to pass
Monseigneur, who had regained his usual
proud serenity, placed the cruciflx once
more on her lips, and this time she kissed II
as submissive servant. Then, with full
movement of his hands, through the room,
above the heads of all present, the bishop
gave the final benedictions, while the HUI
berts and the Able Cornille wept.
Felicien had taken one of the little hands
of Angelique, while in the other little hand
the taper of innocence burned bright and
clear.

The British Tar'S Watches.

All the world knows that a crew is divided
into halves in order to take the ships work in
turn, the starbOard watch being distinguished
by red stripe on the right shoulder the port
by stripe on the left. And it is known that
n sailor divides his time into four hour spells
from midnight TO noon. and into four hour
spell, two two hour spells and four hour
spell from noon to midnight, the said dog
watches-curtailed watches, in fact-being
from 1 TO 6 and 8 to s. and serving to divide
the tventy-four hours into an unequal num-
Der of parts, and thus bring the same men on
duty during the same hours only on alternate
nights. And there is no mystery about
bells, and we have shore clocks striking
bells, one for every half hour in the watch,
eight bells" going at noon, midnight, s
o'clock and O'Clock
But it may not perhaps he generally known
that every seaman has a number, and that all
odd numbers belong to the starboard watch;
when hammocKs are slung at night they are
in numerical order, beginning at the bow and
running athwart the ship, SO that when
watch is on deck every other hammock is
empty; thai when ali hands are called the
starboard watch work the starboard side of
the ship, the port watch the port side and
that when one watch only is on deck its two
divisions take the opposite sides. And it is
certainly not a matter of common knowledge
that on a man of war the calls military and
disciplinary, are nearly all given by bugle,
and that there are forty-four of such calls,
the pipe being almost entirely confined TO sea-
manship matters. and the drum that used TO
"beat to quarters" having sunk in most ships
to merely clear UP the main deck New
