scented with $50, ,OGO raised by popular

of 1t to her own use, but applied it to
the founding of a training school for

Wrong Identlllcntlnns.

1t sometimes happens that bodies are
wrongly identified at the Morguc Such
mistakes seldom occur, owing to the
great carefulness of the present Morguc
officials. A woman who lived in PrOvi-
dencc wrote several years ago to her
children in this city tina, she intended
to spend Thanksgiving with them. She
stated that she was on her way, and
would arrive on certain day. The day
came, but she did not appear. The
children became alarmed when several
days had passed without hearing from
ncr, aud a visit was made to the Morguc.
A body in coffin was identified from the
appearance and clothing as that of their
mother, and it was placed in charge of
an undertaken for burial. The funeral
was held, and it was inferred in Calvary
Cemetery. Their door bell rang two
days afterward, while they were at sup
per, and in walked the supposed dead
woman. She had missed her train and
had not left Providence. .-Ncn York

MAKE HASTE .

Some years ago, when travelling through
Palestine. We were nearly beuighted. We
had left Hebron in the morning, and had
come lci,urcly along passing through Bcthlc-
hem, and visiting the gardens OF solomon on
the way. The sun began to get low ere we
caught our first glimpscs Of Jerusalem, and
on reaching the plain Of Rcphaim we had to
increase our speed. In little the sun set,
and we saw man come out from the Jana
gate and stand upon small hillock, shout
ing with all his might, N il fOrcwarning of
danger, and gesticuating wildly, ns II to call
our attention to what he was announcing.
'What is the man saying" We asked our
guide.
'lIe l. shouting, 'Yellah! Yrllah""
"What does that mcanH
"Comc along, Come along"
We now found that we were about 10 he
shut ont and this messenger had come out 10
warn us that the gate was about To be closed
We made haste, as we did not ut all relish
the thought ~ being kept all night outside
the walls. We were just in time; no more.
We entered, and the gate closed behind us.

RELIGIOUS READING.

YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOwErH.
All our burdens, al our woes,
All our load of care.
God our loving Father knows
Ere we lift our prayer.
Still he bids us on him walt
Bids us seek his face:
Not IN vain we supplicate
At his throne OF grace.
Not IN vain we tell each grief
And our sorrows all;
For he waits 10 give relief
Unto those who cali.
In each sorrow let us see
Summons unto prayer;
Let each want a channel he,
Through which grace to share.
Boldly let us ever plead
With our God on high;
Claim his promise for each need,
Sure of his reply.
