a hundred frantic men surged toward
the rail as the boat was lowered, and
some in their impatience sprang into the
sea. Ii Xii, putting forth all his great
strength, forced way for himself and
Sho Mai to the rail, whence with q tre-
mendous effort he lowered her into the
boat.
He was about to follow her when
those who had the oars pushed off, and
in a moment an expanse of water sep
arated the lovers. In despair he flung
himself from the ships side. and swan
after the boat which bore Sho Mai, but
he could not overtake it. The weeping
boat as it passed him and climb on
board, though those who were in it tried
to push him off again into the sea. The
two boats took different courses despite
the efforts of the lovers, and in a few
minutes We're far apart.
The sailors rowed with all their
might away from their ship, upon
which the pirate was now rapidly bear
ing down. The terrible black flag with
its white crescent fluttered from the
mast, and the decks were swarming
with armed men. She soon ran up
alongside the little merchantmen, and
the pirates poured out upon her decks.
The shrieks which came across the
water showed the fate of those who had
not escaped in the boats.

few men among the passengers and

The Bull Against the Comet.

Whenever any thing of unusual alb
surdity is advocated or discussed by
men supposed to be possessed of brains
it is said TO deserve a place in history
by the side of The Pope's Bull Against
the Comet" the history of which is as
follows: The comet of 1856 was one of
exceptional brilliancy, having tail
about so degrees in length. The
superstitious people of Rome, as we'll as
those of other parts of Europe and Asia,
viewed the Fiery monster" with awful
dread. Mohammed II. and his religion
were gaining in every quarter; the Cath
olics feared that their form of religion
was doomed to be squeezed out of exist
ence. The comet, of course, was given
the credit of causing all this uproar
Calixtus III. was Pope; repuUed to be
man of ability, yet a poor astronomer.
He commanded the people to say extra
Ave Marias, each to end with ''God save
us from the devil, the Turk and the
comet" Upon this rests the story OF
the Pope's bull against the comet. That
ne really issued bull in writing, under
the pontifcal seal, has long been de-
MED by historians and biographers-

Last winter (there has not been
enough ice this winter for any such ex
periments)quite a little excitement was
caused among party of skaters on the
Serpentine lake, London, Eng, by one of
the party making lens of ice and light
ing the pipes of the others. This re-
minds the writer that this curious eX-
pertinent was first brought before the
public b y DR.. Scoresby, who, when in
the polar regions, to the great astonish-
ment of his companions who did not I'M
derstand why the ice did not freeze the
solar rays, performed the same remark
able feat. 1t may also be worthy Of re-
mark that Prof. Tyndall, when a tutor
in the Royal Institution, on several oc-
casions set fire to little heaps of gun
powder with rays from an electric arc
concentrated upon the powder by lens OF
ice. His explanation was that although
ice absorbs rays of certain wave of light,
and is gradually melted thereby, other
waves do not absorb, and these latter
produce the heating effect at the focus
of the lens. It is wholly question OF
the relative motions of the molecules of
frozen water and the motions of tbs
waves of light.-St. Louis Republic.

After casting a glance at our own

this arduous duty for him. -Somerville

The power of the mind over the

You never know until the big man

how many men there was in the crowd
whose sympathies were with you in the

Amidst the worlds babbling we are

She did not answer, and he glanced
hastily down. If the great Jewel of the
Emperor's diadem had laid upon the
rock, he could not have been more sur
prised at what he saw. And yet it was
not SO uncommon a sight after all; onl,
a woman's foot!
Yes, there it was, plainly enough: a
woman's foot neatly bandaged after the
manner of her sex. Ii Xiii fairly
gasped with amazement. He turned
his eyes from the little foot to the san
dial he still held, and he gazed at it as
if it had been charm by which the
secrets of the universe had been re-
veaIed. SO long he stood speeches.

her hands, and at the sight of his face
had nearly laughed aloud.

Then, looking down and speaking
timidly for one who had done such bold
deeds, she repeated her story, sparing
nothing.

said Ii Xii, and the sound of her name
upon his lips was like music to her

Slowly the tall tops of the Pom 10y
mountains grew into clcud-banks on the
horizon, while Ii Xii and Sho Mai
stood side by side watching them.
Then came two days of pleasant
breezes and smooth seas, but the third
was reserved for most terrible inter
ruption. The two voyagers stood beside
the captain as a sail which had been
sighted drew near.

Communications,

Where commentator is proper to be
given, there is less proba bility of its
being over-given than under-given.
One of keen sensibilities is more easily
discouraged than encouraged. And nc
one feels this more keenly than sensi~
tive child. The youthful Russian
artist, Marie Bashkirtseff, says, IN her
now famous journal: For a month
past have heard nothing but words of
commenda ton, with the exception of
one occasion, fortnight ago. This
morning I was scolded, and 1 have for
gotten every thing but the scolding.
But it is so always. A thousand persons
applaud; a single one Kisses, and his
voice browns the voices of all the others"
The proper proportion between smiles
and frowns, between praise and CEN
sure, gives large preponderance to
that which cheers and helps, In COM
parison with that which disheartens and
hinderS-S. S. Times.

Generous Hopefulness Expressed in Jof
G. Whittier's Last Poem.

Generous Hopefulness Expressed in John
G. Whittier's Last Poem.
John G. Whittier is still young at
eighty-two. Time has dealt with him
gently and expanded rather than con-
stricted the warm and generous hopeful
ness of a nature that has always been
hoSpitable.
Two verses from his last poem are as
rich in moral impulse as an elegant SER
mon. The first runs:
No longer forward nor behind
look in hope or fear,
But, grateful, take the good find,
The best of Now and Here.
That is the optimism of well-bal-
anced mind. The second verse, which
seems to indicate the logical result of
the first, runs thus:
And SO tie shadows fall apart
And so the wtst winds play;
And all the windows of my heart
open to the day.
Whittier, bending under the weight Of
fourscore years, puts to shame the repin-
ing and whining which characterize so
much of our modern poetry.-N. Y. Her

CHAPTER V.
4 "a PTINE 10 KWAN DAB

-
The name of kwah Dab is like the
menace of drawn sword. Hundreds of
miles from the sea which he has so Oft
en- Redeemed with innocent blood, the
murderous ferocity of this incarnate
fiend is as we'll known as in the fore
castles of ships where sailors who fear
no other terror of the ocean speak of
Kwan Dah's deeds with trembling
voices.
Even Sho Mai needed no word except
his name to tell her for what fate she
must now strengthen her heart. The
sight of the captains pallid face and
the cries of fear rising on every side
from crew and passengers showed that
there could be no mistake; kwan Dab
was indeed upon them.
Sho Mai knew what it was to face
death amid the shrieking of a tempest
and in the darkness of night and storm;
but to feel that destruction was ad
vancing over this fair sea and in this
glorious sunlight was far more terrible.
And life itself had now new delight
which love had lent it. She turned to-
1t was pale and the lips were tightly
drawn, but it was the face of a brave
man, and as she gazed upon him thus
Sho Mails heart knew the ultimate con-
ISOLATION that love is stronger than fear
and more subtle than death.
To one so full of vigor as Ii Xiii in
action at such q time was impossible.
He turned to the captain.
''Why do you not summon your men
to defend the ship" he began, but broke
off in disgust, for the man whom he adj
dressed stood wringing his hands in

FAME, WEALTH, LIFE, DEATH.


What is fame?
us the sun-gleam on the mountain,
Spreading brightly ere it flies;
IT'S the bubble on the fountain,
Rising lightly ere it dies;
Or, if here and there hero
Be remembered through the years,
Yet to him the gain is zero;
Death hath stilled his hopes and fears.
Yet what danger men will dare
If but only in the air
May be heard some eager mention of their
name;
Though they hear it not themselves, it's much
the same.
What is wealth.
IT'S ! rainbow, still recediug
AS the painting fool pursues;
Or a toy that youth, unheeding,
Seeks the readiest way TO lose;
But the wise man keeps due m easure,
Neither out of breath nor base;
He but holds in trust his treasure
For the welfare of the race
Yet what crimes some men will daro
But to gain their slender share
In some profit though with loss Of name or
health,
In some plumber, spent on vices or by stealth.
What is life?
TITS the earthly hour of trial
For 4 life THAT'S but begun;
When the prize of selfdenial
May be quickly lost or won;
IT'S the hour when lave may burgeon
To an everlasting flower;
Or when lusts their victims 1rge on
To defy immortal power.
Yet how lightly men ignore
All the future holds in store,
Spending brief but golden moments alltn strife
Or in suicidal madness grasp the knife.
What is death?
Past it's dark, mysterious portal
Human eye may never roam;
Yet the hope sill springs immortal
That it leads the wanderer home.
Oh. the bliss that lies before US
When the secret shall be known
And thu vast angelic chorus
Sounds the hymn before the thronel
What is fame. wealth, or lifel
Past are praises, fortune. strife;
All but love, that lives forever cast beneath,
When the good and faithful servant takes the
wreath.
