CHAPTER VIII.

for q tolcrably widespread belief in super
natural appearances She was ashamed OF
the fccblcneSS Of mind which her expert
ences seemed TO imply, and. resolved to
overcome the weakness. she resisted all
her fathers pcrsuasions to change those
conditions under which she had passed the
last two nights.
Van Hocck alone refused to believe in
Edith's hallucination.
"One has only.o hear Miss Lascelles
pNe.fflvt IT, difGg"tt t 9notien e2f that Kind
vigor and physical strength. and to accuse
such girl of that kind Of morbid insanity
called halIucinatiOn, is Just as crcditable
to your understanding as TO believe in the
simplicity and honesty Of II vagabond Cali
fornian card-sharper and the half breed
wench he chooses to call his daughter"
When n light came he said to me, after we
hnd separated from the rest:
This Is no time for sleep. Thorne: we
must watch through the night. whether You
\ like IL or not. if il is only for Miss Lasccles'
sake"
I readily agreed to this. and for an hour
We walked on u part OF the lawn from
which l could see Edi3&s window. Then
the rain. which had becn drizzling for
some time. fell heavily, and forced us to
go in.

THE RESURRECTION.
BY g. MOORE.

Gray stroaks Of dawn had shot athwart the
gloom,
While stnlwsrt soldiers watched around the
tomb.
Which opes the tomb aud rends the solid rock.
Almighty angel rolls away the ston,
While on his face tho light Of heaven shone.
The stricken guards fall PROSTATE on the earth,
Inc scene has hushcd their jib,s aud songs OF

- The rssurTe ,tion -Jesus leaves the cave
Der death t'ium phant, conqu ,ror of the grave.
The fre1,ta'o frsst guards still trembling with af
Creep from tho tomb and take themselves to
fight.
~ They reach the city, and The story tell
NJ what they saw, and what to them befell.
The wicked j VS. persuade the guards with gold
$ 10 tell lie to quash ho truth they told.
They mishS as well have tried to quenoh tho
sun, .--
And hide its light, as stop tho work begun.
The riaen Lord tocho hoson saints appears
Tho ord is ri icn thrills His peoples ears.
The wondering angela Tiger at e. o cave,
And taik OF Him who como the world to save.
s. The wcep ng women cams ut morning light.
And statt to g 9 ths strange, mysterious sight
1.-The sympathetic angels kindly say.
The Lord is risen SEQ the place He lay.
Go tell the loved disciples OF your Lord
That II has been according to His word
They run and tell Chrsts followers, but they
Gave little heed TO what they heard them say.
But John ani Peter run and reach the cave,
And find that Christ has risen from tho grave
They leave tho place. awed with strange hopes
But lingering, loving, weeping Mary hears
The Masters voice to her di, iuely sweet
And ciits "Rabboni' while she clasps His feet.
Tho b'ood stained feet she once washed with
hcr tens
When Jesus saved her from her guilty fears.
s. aSa disciples met again that night

Then from tier midst they see their Lord arise
And wing His flight toward the upper skies;
And while they gaze with won lcring alright

Two sons = light assuage their rising fears
And whisper W, rds OF comfort in their
Cease from, your sorrow and FROM asars refrain,
FOR THIS same Jesus shall return atain."
Ten days they wait to bo ondued with powsr
Anu to them tones the Fentecostal shower.
The spIrit comcs their rapture to inspire
And on them rests like cloven tongues OF fire;
And thus endowed they hasten to proclaim
Salvation in the risen Savior's name:

Swift's Latin PuIls.

Among the Latin puns of the famous
Dean Swift is the following, which, by
allowing for false spelling, and rum ng
the words into each other, makes good
sense in English:
MolliS abuti. Moll is n beauty.
Has an acuti Has an acute eye.
No laSSo finiS. No lass so flne is,
Molli divinis. Molly divine is.

AntiquIty:of the Love for Gems.
ladies Home Journal

The origin of the love for gems is lost
in antiquity. We cannot go so far back
but the records to which we have access
bear evidence of its previous existence.
Bible lore is full of it. In ancient Egypt
gems were engraved in the form Of
scarab@i, and have been, even quite re-
Gently, disinterred from the mummy
pits Hindoo mythology overfows with
wonderfully vivid descriptions of pre-
cious stones. The monarchs of the east,
with their fondness for display and
pomp, no doubt decorated their persons
with gems long before they knew how
to cut them, and they attributed, and
they even now attribute, magic and tai
ismanic properties to them. This belief
is shared by almost every nation, and
even the prosaic American has his net
superstition which he respects, while he
may not openly acknowledge.

Greenland.
Youths Companion.J

On some of the old time maps Green
land was known by different name
than the one it now bears.
During the Ninth century Gunnbjorn,
a brave sea rover from Iceland, discov-
cred "Greenland's icy mountains" and
because of their glittering mantle of ice
and snow he called the island Hvidserk
or White Shirt.
some years later Eric the Red came to
the island to found colonies there, and
changed the name to Greenland. Per-
haps on map White Shirt might not
make so dignifed an appearance as
Greenland, but it would NOT he 50 str;l[.
