THE ANGRY WORD.

Weary and heartsick from work and pain
Was it any wonder the hard word came!
With chiidren's clamor and heavy care,
1t seemed that mine was the '.lion's share"
And John, with a look that told he heard,
Went on to his work with calm absurd.
Weary and heartsick all of the day,
The heavy hours went slowly away
The night came down. but no John returned,
To where the hearth-fire sulkily burned;
gave the children their supper and bed,
And crouched by tine Goals with an aching head
o was it a dream-that seemed to be John
So weary and painfully hammering on,
Seemed TO be laboring over my strength,
Till the long, long day was over at length,
With cruel words and a taunting sneer
Flung often at him by the overseer!
o was It a dream that, the day now Ger,
They doubled his task and abused him more,
That the patient mind had but one refrain
81 bear, for my home and the living to gain;"
But the word had spoken held its smart
And vas like 4 fire in the patient heart.
A step on the stair! John has returned
The sulky fire now more brightly has burned,
A leap in my heart moves me on to the door,
/ sob in the arms of my darling once more;
o never again by a word or sign
VIII l claim that his burden is lighter than
mine.

The Rapidity of Thought. i.

Prot. DOnders, of Utrecht, recently
made some interesting experiments in
regard to the rapidity of thought. BY
means of two instruments, which he
calls the neOmatachOgraph and
the noernatachometer, he promises
some important and interest
ing results. His experiments up to date
show that it takes the brain one .O67 of
second to elaborate single idea.
Writing in regard to this, Donders says:
Doubtless the time required for the
brain to act is not the same in all indi-
viduals; believe. however, that these
instruments may be perfected until we
will be able to determine the mental
caliber Of our friends, without our friends
knowing that We are testing their apt
ness" The professor further says: For
an eye to receive An impression requires
.O77 of a second. and for the ear to ap-
preciate a sound, .1i9 of sound is all
that is necessary; which, however,
that the eye acts with nearly double the
the rapidity Of the ear.eSt Louis Re.
