 For eighteen years their life speed on thus uneventfully; their only sorrow which the outer world knew aught of was the childlessness of their union. Her husband ascended the throne in 1864. He died last October

Where Lightning Strikes.

Lightning, as it appears to the eye of an observer, is usually classified into different forms, as sheet lightning, zig gag lightning and ball lightning. Peo- pie may be struck by lightning almost anywhere-in houses, out of doors, un- der trees, in open fields and on board ships at sea. Cases, however, are of most frequent occurrence out of doors and under trees. Sailors on board ship are peculiarly liable to lightning strokes.

. THE WAVES DEATH.

Is 1t a dream of some sweet unknown land. That thrills the trembling wave far out at seal What strange, wild longing draws resistlessly The eager waters to an unknown strandf Unhindered by the tempest's mighty hand, From lure of sunny skies and soft winds free, They hurry on in passionate ecstasy, And, breaking, die upon the faithless sand. O, restless soul, whose every yearning breath Is full of vague desires and sweet, dim dreams, Across thy far horizon glows and gleams
 The dazzling land where passion beckoneth; Yet shalt thou find, fair as the vision seems, Like the lost wave upon the shore, but death

So the saws are in- troduced and they commence to widen the puncture. It is the operation of the saws which causes the irritation to which you allude as bite.
