NIGHT BEFORE DAY.

In struggling with the cares Of life,
That daily cross your path
Keep your courage in the strife
Fear not misfortune's wrath
And though, ofttimes, the cheerful light
OF hope seems far away,
Remember that the darkest night
Is just before the day.
Life's sunshine often hides behind
Misfortune's sombre clouds,
And cares and sorrows round us wind
Like black aud gloomy shrouds
'Tis then the harder We must fight,
To driye the clouds away,
Remember that the darkest night
Is Just before the day.
True courage is a mighty wall,
On which the winds and rain
OF grief and trouble ever fall
With power, but in vain
II, when you struggle for the right,
You see no hopeful ray,
Remember that the darkest night
Is just before the day.
The clouds will break anon, and CLEAN
OF sunshine will descend,
And all throughout your souls its beams
In golden light will blend
The struggle on with all your might,
Aud as you toll and pray,
Remember that the darkest night
Is Just before the day.

The Queen: Annual. Bath.

The French papers report that
the Queen of Madagascar has just

occasian of the "Festiyal of the
Bathr with the greatest pomp and
seriousness. The Queen was
clothed all in scarlet and seated
upon a red velvet throne corner

solemn procession filed through
bearing water for the bath, mate
rials for the fire to heat il, made
directly under tha bath tub itself,
towels, soap, perfume and various
toilet appurtenances. AS soon as
the water was sufficiently heated
the fire was put out, prayers were
said and a hymn was sung, I'M
ploring that the Queen suffer nc
harm, from the daring act, and
then, as she disappeared behind
the curtain, salvo of artillery was

multitudes outside that the impOr'

carried an Ox.hOrn, tipped and

taken from the bath just previous

and accompanied by the prime
minister, she marched to the pal

HOW ITFEELs TOBE EATEN.
THREE EMINENT MEN HAVE AS
SERTED THAT 1T is NOT
PAINFUL,

Sir Lyon PlayfaIr recently re-
lated that he knew three men who
escaped with their lives after being
partially devoured by wild beasts.
The first was Livingstone, the
great African traveller, who was
knocked on his back by n lion,
which began to MUNICH his arm
He asserted that he felt no fear or
pain, and that his only feeling was
one of intense curiosity as to which
part of his body the lion would
take next. The next was Rustem
Pasha, now, Turkish ambassador
i'm London. \ bear attacked him
and tore OF part Of his hand aud
part of his arm and shoulder. lie
also said that he had neither a sense
of pain nor of fear, but that he felt
excessively angry because the bear
grunted with so much satisfaction
/ in munchine hin.
The third case is that OF Sir
Edward Bradford, an Indian officer
now occupying a high position IN
/ the Indian Office. He was seized
in a solitary place by tiger, which
held him firmly behind his shoul
ders with one paw and then delib
erately devoured the whole OF hls
arm, beginning at the end and
ending at the shoulder. lie wa'
very positive that he had no sen
sation of fear, and thinks that he
felt little pam when the fang
went through his hand, but is Ger
tain that he felt none during the
munching of his arm.
Now let the fellow who has oc'
cupied a wire cot in a second'clas'
hotel give his experience as tC
chow it feels to be eaten"

A ROMANCE OF AFRICA.
TWO COUNTERFEITERS BURIED IN
THE WILpS AND PLYING
THEIR UNLAWFUL
IRAnE-

TRADE.
The report from Africa that
Lieutenant Clerc Of the French
navy has just been the first to visit
the head waters of the Cassinl river
calls to mind one Of the strangest
stories of African exploration ever
written. In 1855 the French mer.
chants in Senegambia became
aware that the coast towns were
being flooded with spurious five
franc silver coins bearing the eiiigy
of LOUIS Philippe. 1t could not be
found that these coins came irSm
Europe, and it was soon evident
that they originated somewhere
down the coast. Finally some ma.
tives were found who said they
received the coins IN exchange for
ivory from two white men who had
a trading post on the Casslni river.
Nobody had ever heard OF the Cas-
sini river. Lieutenant WALTON, now
an admiral in the French navy,
was sent with small expedition to
find the mysterious stream which
was reputed to be the source OF the
counterfeit silver.
The party coasted for 200 miles
south, en- tering many an inlet on
the way, and at last they came to
that complicated system of water
ways known as the rivers Of the
south. One OF these rivers the Da-
tives called the Cassini, and the
travellers at once ascended it. Not
many miles from the mouth they
saw some large huts, and two
white men presently appeared to
see who was approaching their
retreat. AS the boat party was
landing the white men, gathering
few things from the huts, started
to run away. They were pursued
but we're not taken alive. The
two criminals ended their remarka-
BILE enterprise by shooting them
selves dead. The discovery OF a
new river had been coupled with a
strange tragedy.
a counterieitlng onttit was found
in the huts. These men had leit
one of the trading posts with a de-
liberate purpose of buryng them
selves in an unknown region ana
making a snug little pile III the
counterfeiting business. They
bought ivory of the natives with
spurious coin and sent it up the
coast for shipment to Europe.
