I CARD.

To all who may be interested in the religious life of the late Hiram Andrews l tender these words, hoping the man. tie of charity will be thrown over what ever defects of character may have appeared in his life or the writer's j; and with word of thanks to all who have ministered to his necessities and also as vindication of the sincerity of the writer in accepting certain Bible doctrines so interwoven with those held at one time by the deceased, and con- sidered by many as wrecking his life.
 I have the testimony of quite num- Der that in his early life he was most devoted follower of Christ, honored by the Lord and respected by men and that in the days of Wm. Miller, when the expiration of the several lines of prophecy found in the books of Daniel and Revelations, proclaiming the hour of judgment, cleansing of the sanctua- ry and second coming of Christ, with the conclusion that these events were to culminate in the year 1844 were pro- claimed. he, with many others, accepted the theory. However the expiration of prophetic time passed by, and the Lord came not, and the company were doomed to disappointment. The deep convictions of those who had made the prophecies their study, were such that they could not doubt their fulfillment; many gave up to Encouragement, while others determined to investigate the subject more thoroughly, and were rewarded in their efforts by discovering that three special messages were to be delivered just pror to the Lords coming Rev. IA. 6-12; and they had given the first. The second followed quickly, being delivered in the fall of the same year. Since that time, commencing more particularly in 1S49, when the first publication of small paper at Middletown, Conn.,, devoted to the interests of the Third Angels Message, or the principles of those known more generally as Seventh Day Adventists, the work has increased until there are now about twenty-five publications, the matter of which is sent to every quarter of the globe.
 The writer having been led to accept the above theory, was surprised to find the father to have been one of the disappointed ones of the First Message, which undoubtedly accounts, in connec- ton with hereditary tendencies, for a wrecked life. However God is just In him trust, and with him leave the dead. R. c. A.

HE STORY OF THE RoCKs.--Geolog ical history brings before ms, says Archibald Geikie, many facts well calculated to impress our minds with the great antiquity of our planet, and
 with the marvellous chain of changes by which the present order of things has been brought about. We learn from 1t that mountains and valleys have not come suddenly into exist ence. such as we now see them, but have been formed gradually, by long series of processes similar to those which are even now slowly doing the same work. We discover that every part of the land under our fsst can yield up its story, if we only know how to question 1t. And, strangest of all, we find that the races of plants and animals which now tenant land

We see that there has been upon the earth history of liv- ing things, as we'll as of dead matter. At the beginning of that wonderful history we detect traces merely of lowly forms, like the foraminifera of the Atlantic ooze. At the end we are brought face to face with man-think- ing, working, restless man, battling steadily with the powers of nature, and overcoming them one by one, by learning how to obey the laws which direct them.

esplanade- Reported bids for cnrbing had
| been received. and resolutions that the bid
of Russell & Bros fer Sl,7l2 for oolitic
| limestone, be accepted, and that the city
solicitor report to council the necessary pa
psrs for the contracts.
Upon the question being raised as to
| what fund the money should come out OF,
the committee said the general expense
| fund was the proper one. The soilcitor
being appealed TO, said that the money
should come out of the street fund, that 1t
was an Improvement of q portion OF Market
street, and that members of council were
ever ready to take money from this fund
when the proper fund was exhausted or
short. Mr. Mast and several other MEM
bers disagreed with the solicitor, setting
| forth that curbing had heretofore been paid
for out of this fund, and thought that this
should also.
The clerk called attention to the large
amount of money that had TO be taken out
of this fund in the near future to pay sal
aries, lighting and other bills. and to pay
back money borrowed from the city
banks In anticipation OF the taxes. Inc
solicitor further stated that If council had

members laid themselves personally liable
for the amount so taken, but that he did
not wish to appear ugly toward council but

question. The resolution was referred

Inherited
Diseases,

In ths realm of disease the facts of In
heritance are most numerous and are daily
accommodating. Here. alas, they become ter
rfbie, fateful and overwhelming. No fact Of
nature Is more pregnant with awful mean
Ing than the fact OF the inheritance OF
disease. Il meets the physician on his daily
rounds, paralyzing his art and filling him
with dlsmay. The legend Of the ancient
Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing
families from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. The Fvries still
ply their work OF terror and death, but they
are not now clothed In the gsrb Of supersti-
ton, but appear in the more Ineligible but
no less awful form OF hereditary dsease.
Modern science which has Illuminated so
many dark corners OF nature, has shed .
new light on the ominous words Of the
Scriptures, "Tbe sins of the fathers shall be
visited upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation" Instances of hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent. of cases OF
consumption. that fearful destroyer of fami-
lies. of cancer and scroflla, run in families
through Inheritance Insanity Is hereditary
in q marked degree. but, fortunately. like
many other hereditary diseases. tends to
wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct.
A distinguished scientist truly says: "No
organ or texture OF the body is exempt from
the chance of being tho subject of hereditary
disease" Probably more chronic diseases,
which permanently modify the structure
and functions OF the body. are more or less
liable to be inherited. The important and
far-reachlng practical deductions from such
fscts-affecting so powerfully the happiness
of individuals and families and the collective
welfare OF the nation-are obvious to refiec-
ting minds, and the best means for prevent
ing or curing these diseases is q subject of
intense interest to all. Fortunately nature
has provided remedy, which experience
has sttested as infallible. and the remedy Is
