TW1L1GHT-LAND.
Here We are in twilight-land;

Here We are in twilight-land;
Creakety -creak,
Rocking chairs to every hand
Sway and swing and squeak;
Hereis neither park nor street;
Bare are The little twinkle feet;
White are the gowns and loose;
No place here for ball or bat,
No need now for coat or hat,
None for stockings or shoes.
What are the stories Of twilight-landY
Hark, ah, bark!
Waiting in tho dark;
Cinderella and little Bo-Peep,
Who lost her sheep, her pretty sheep;
Jack Homer. bold Boy Blue,
And the three bears living in the wood,
And the wolf that ate Red Riding Hood,
And the spinning pussy. too.
The little children in twilight-land
Are still Is mice,
And the story-teller must understand
She's to tell each story twice;
The crickets chirp. the stars eyes wink;
Perhaps the man in tue moon may think
Thorn saucy in their play:
But whatever is heard or said or done,
Each sleepy. weary little one
Gets rested for next day.
For the pillow is white in twilight-land
And white the bed,
And the tender. loving mothers hand
10 laid on the drowsiest head.
And list, the tune che huns and sings,
As with soft creak the rocker swings.
How far away it seems!
That tune-that lullaby-ah mel
They are leaving tvilight-land. you zee,
For the stiller land Of dreaIns.

The Great Eastern.

Just thirty years ago there was
launched upon the Thames the largest
steamship ever built, called the Great
Eastern. The expenses of launching
alone were nearly $500, 900, and during
her lifetime she cost her owners mill
ions of dollars; but recently she was
sold for $50, 600, and will be broken up
for old metal. She was capable of
carrying 1000 passengers, 5000 tons
of merchandise, and $4,000 tons of coal
for fuel. She had ten anchors, mile
of chain cables, and an electric tele-
graph wire was used to convey the
captains orders to various parts Of the
ship. In 1860 she came to America,
making the passage in eleven days, and
while in New York harbor was visited
by 10000 persons. But the cost of
running such q mammoth vessel,
together with the expense of repairs,
made her failure financially. Almost
the only real service she ever rendered
was in laying the submarine cables, the
passenger accommo dations being re-
moved to make room for the great iron
tanks which contained the cables. Two
years ago an enterprising Liverpool
tradesman used the Great Eastern for
advertising in novel way. The ship
was anchored in the Mersey, and on
her sides were flaming posters announc-
ing the bargains to be obtained at his
establishment. Thousands OF excur-
sionists visited the steamer, where re-
freshments were served, and dancing
and other amusements INDUCED in, but
a fire finally put an end to the scheme.

College Men in Congress.

Taking into consideration the very
small per cent of young men who go to
college, it is certainly remarkable that
SO many United States Senators and
Representatives should be, college grad
yates. It speaks volumes for the eff
and colleges throughout the country,
and is a silent argument for the young
men who aspire to make themselves
felt in the higher counsels of the gov
ernment, to fit themselves in every
way for the positions, and in their
training not to neglect the university.
+* OF the rs Senators, Sc have
been educated in the colleges of tho
country; and of the 1888 Representa-
tives and Territorial delegates lO7 have

A Headless Man who Played Nine. PIN

A Headless Man who Played Nine.Pins.
We have observed several wonderful
stories of late respecting the skill of
the Chinese executioners, who, it is
said, can strike off the heads of their
victims so skillfully that the poor fell
lows themselves never discover their
loss until a moment or two after they
are dead. We recall to mind, however.
the story of German executioner who
far surpassed the Chinese in profess
sional dexteritv. Upon one occasion it
happened that criminal had a singular
itching to play at nine-pins, and he inn
plored permission to play once more at
his favorite game before he died. Then,
he said, he would submit to his fate
without murmur. The Judge. think
ing there could be no harm in humor-
ing him, granted his last prayer, and
upon arriving at the place of execution
he found everything prepared for the
game, the pins being set up and the
bowls all ready. He commenced his
favorite sport with enthusiasm. After
awhile the sheriff, observing that he
showed no inclination to desist, made o
sign to the executioner to strike the
fatal blow while he stopped for bowl.
The executioner did so, but with such
exquisite dexterity that the culprit did
not notice or feel it. He thought, in
deed, that q cold breath of air was
blowing on his neck, and drawing him
self back with shrug, his head dropped
forward into his hands. He ma
turally supposed that it was bowl
which he had grasped, and, selling it
firmly, rolled it at the pins. All of
them fell, and the head was heard to
exclaim, as it rebounded from the
farther wall; "Hurrah! I've won the
gama. ''-Chamber's Journal

man! Have you any sears to show in
TINS conflict? When a war is over the
heroes have scars to show. One hero
rolls back his sleeve and shows o gun
shot fracture, or he pulls down the
collar and shows where he was wounded
In the neck. Another man says: / have
never had the use of my limb since was
wounded at that great battle When
the last day comes, when all our Bottles
are over. will we have any wounds for
Christ? Some have wounds for sin,
wounds for the devil, wounds gotten in
hghting on the wrong side. Have we
wounds that we can show-weunds got
ten in the battle for Christ and for the
truth IT. ut On that resurrection day Christ
Will have plenty of scars to show, Christ
will stand there and show the sears on
His brow, the scars on His hands. and
the scars on His feet, and He will put
aside the robe of His royalty and show
the scar on His side, and all Heaven will
break down with emotion and gratitude
IN one great sob, and then in one great
hosanna. Will you and have any scars
to show?
There will be Ignatius on that day
showing the mark of the paw and teeth
OF the lion that struck him down i'll the
coliseum. There will be glorious John
Huss showing just where on his foot the
flames began on that day when his soul
took wing of fame and scared up from
Constance. There will be Hugh McKail
ready to point to the mark on his neck
where the ax struck him. There will be
Mcmillan and Campbell and Freeman,
the American missionaries, who with
their wives and children were put to
death in the awful massacre Mt Gavin
pore, showing the place where the dag
gers of the Sepoys struck them. There
will be the Waldenses. showing where
their limbs were broken on the day when
the Piedmontese soldiery pitched them
over the rocks. Will you and have any
wounds to show? Have we fought any
battles for Christ? Oh. that we might
all be enlisted for Christ, that we might
all be willing to suffer for Christ, that
we might all bear cross for Christ.
When the Scottish chieftains wanted
to raise an army they would make
wooden cross, and then set it on fire and
carry it with other crosses they had
through the mountains, through the
highlands and among the people, and
as they waved the cross the people would
gather to the standard and fight for Scot
land. To- day come out with the cross
of the Son of God. 1t is flaming cross
flaming with suffering, flaming with
triumph, flaming with glory. I carry it
out among all the people. Who will be
on the Lords side? Who will gather to
| the standard of Emmanuel? A cross,
cross, cross! whatsoever doth not
bear his cross, and come after me, can
not be my disciple"
