restless yearning in his gaze, "may | ask

They sat in the darkened parlor for
hours, Ia the eloquent communion Of
soul with soul that needs no articulate
sound to give ii language.
But something impelled George to
speak. The longing that surged up
from his very heart must find expression
in words. Therefore he had spoken.
What is il, George ?" she whispered.

"What is il, GeorgoY" she repeated
10 voice that trombled as with a vague
foreboding Of coming disaster.

said, with an agitation becoming every

SECRET THOUGHTS.


SECRET THOUGHTS.
l hold II true that thoughts are things
Endowed with bodies, breath and wings,
And that we send them forth to I'LL
The world with good results-or III.
That which we call our secret thought,
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot,
And leaves its blessings or It's woes pa
Like tracks behind 1t as II goes .t
II 10 Gods law. Remember 1t
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have
known,
And yet make comrade, when alone.
Thesethoughts have life; and they will fly
And have their impress by and by,
Like nome marsh breeze whose poisoned
breath .-s~se
Breathes into homes Its fevered breath.
And after you have quite forgot, I'D
Or all outgrown some vanished thought,
Back to your mind to make Its home,
A dove or raven, II will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair;
They have vital part and share
In shaping worlds and molding fate
Gods system Is so Intricate.

The sentiment in favor of improving
country roa Is is CROWN : every year. It
has reached our legislative assemblies,
and bills are being introduced in order
to secure State aid in the matter. Good
roa1s are things which no class of per.
sons would appreciate more than ply
s%icians, and to none would they bring
more direct personal comfort, and eyea
practical financial help. Oa a good road
the country doctor can travel ten miles
an hour; on a bad one barely five. Tne
time required in doing his work is
doubled, the physical WEAKNESS is in
creased, the amount of visiting rendered
possible is curtailed. Besides this, the
patient suffers, for the doctors visits are
delayed aud less numerous. He cannot
watch the patient 50 closely, aud he
brings to his WORK a wearied body.
Perhaps the horse would argue most
eloquently of all, If he could speak in
favor OF good roads. His working life
would be heightened and his working
days made easier.
With good roads the bicycle could be
utilized, aud through its invigoritin in.
h~uence, perhaps, the country doctor
could cease, as years rolled oa, to be-.
come obese from too much sitting in a
wagon, his wits would be shIrper, his
professional WORK better.
BY all means, then, let the doctors
take up the gospel of good roads aud
urge for ward their construction. They
make inter- purse N IRE easy, work less
%burdeusome, life more enjoyable; au1
they are, in fine, al in lex of the pro-

The Most Exposed Iii .hthouse,

The biggest light in the world is al
Sydney, Australasia. 1t has a power
equal to 1856 900 candles, and is visible
at a distance of fifty miles The most
exposed lighthouse in existence was built
in 1858 on Bishop Rocl, off the Sicily
Isles, ireland. 1t has been est nate |
that the waves beat upon it with a force
of 5000 pound to the square foot. Ga
January 30, 1859, a storm breaker tore
away the bell, Weighing 800 pounds,
from the top of the to Ser, more tha1
100 feet above the sea. The reefs near
the Isle of Sein, a few miles oil the north
west corner of France, were for centuries
the dread of mariners. particularly on
acc lunt of the fo3s commonly prevailing
in that region. la 1855 1 rock wa Sc
lected for a lighthouse which was at the
lowest tide five feet out OF water. The
task of erecting the proposed structure
on such a spot seem9l hopeless, but it
was a case where even the apparently
impossible hal to be tried. Work was
begun by boring holes in the rock, one
foot deep and three feet apart, to be
subsequently, filled with btrs Of iroa ex.
tending upward into the masonry that
was to be laid. Because it was ouly at
rare intervals that a landing on the rock
was practicable, a contract was made
with the fishermen of Sein to bore the
holes whenever there was an opportunity.
Whenever there was al opportunity to
land, they fastened to the rock with
small boats, carrying tools aud life belts,
aud piled hammer and drill between the
breakers. Tue msu who were washed
away were pic ed up by the boats. At
the end of the first yslr's labor seven
landings had been made and fifteen holes
were bored.
In 1869 the necessary number of holes
had been made and the iron bolts were
inserted, masonry beng laid around
them with quick cement. BY 1875 the
foundation was eight feet above high
water marx. The tower nov stands
completed, ninety-two feet in height.
Its construction illustrates the inlo nlta-
