MELoPE.

No Daniel sat in judgment then,
No prisoners friend stood by;
The Lord, who heard Susannah's prayer,
Seemed sleeping in the sky;
And hatred had but one decree,
Relentless TO condemn.
Alas, that day for Melope,
The maid Of Bethlehem
They piled the fagots high in sight
or half the gaping town;
Her eyes but saw in silent fright
Her fierce accusers' frown.
Then, shrinking from the earth she raised
Her face, unstained with shame.
The pile was lit, the death fire blazed,
And wrapped her form in flame.
In vain. Its rage could only flush
Her check with holor charm;
Like angel in the burning bush,
She stood untouched and calm.
when, 10! for Heaven was not asleep
The flames that flashed in air,
Blown out as 10y a whirlwind's sweep,
Had left but embers there
Her false accusers fed amazed;
The thrUnging watchers call:
'~The maid is pure The Lord be praised!
She did no wrong at all"
And awed by her divine defense
They hasted rev'rently
To bear the gentle martyr thence,
BY Gods own sign set free.
But where the fire had round her burned
They caught a fragrance sweet,
For all the living Goals were turned
To roses at her feet.
Her innocence pCrlumed the place
Where Islander sought her doom,
And over Hates malignant face
smiled Virtues tender bloom.
% Mclopo! thy trial. cast
In sterncr times than ours,
Hath lett unwithcred from the past
Thy bcauteous martyr flowers.
Still for thy wrong by Heaven rcdressed
In sweet red roses flame
The cmber5 Of that fiery test
That saved thy sanity name.

A Real Summer Danger.

To talk of guarding against cold in summer
seems absurd, and yet it is as necessary as IN
winter. Where the climate is changeable
hot day is often followed by cool evening;
or a sudden rain-storm chills the air or a coid
wind springs up gratefully after the heat.

unless they are protected from it by proper
covering Cotton is a good conductor Of heat
and allows it to escape rapidly from the sur
face Of the body. As soon as the surround
ing air becomes cooler than the skin 1t steals
the heat which the body requires for its own
needs. A fresh supply Of heat must be pro
duced. and thus the system is overtaxed to
supply the demands of the robber. Flannel
is bad conductor. and guards tho tender
body more faithfully, retaining the heat.
