Elevated Back Yards.

Some of the second floor jewellers Of
fremont enjoy advantages of which the
occupants of the first floors are deprived.
In many parts of that district the
dwelling houses are built adjoining.
Some of these houses are erected after
the cheapest plans possible, and in many
instances the owners refuse to bear the
expenses of having hills behind them
cut down.
By this fact the occupants of the first
floor are deprived Of yard advantages,
while those on the second and often on
the third and fourth floors have them.
1t is not an uncommon thing there
for an occupant Of the first floor to ask
the occupant of the second or third,
MAY 1 hang my clothes in your back
yard?"-New York Herald.

Some OF you were born ON the banks

of the majority of Christians. / have
seen many Christians die. I think nine
out of ten of them in the last moment
say, "Going home" Going home out of
Punishment and sin and sorrow and sad
ness. Going home to join in the hilari-
ties of u parents and our dear children
who have already departed. Going home
to Christ. Going home to God. Going
home to stay. Where are your loved
ones that died in Christ? You pity
them. All, they ought to pity you'll You

How the little child angel May,

How she said to the stately warden.

"Oh, angel, sweet angel, I pray YOU

She is lonely she cannot see
A glimmer of light in the darkness
When the gates shut after me.

The splendor will shine so far"
But the warden answered, 81 dare not
Set the beautiful gates ajar,"
Spoke low and answered., 81 dare not

Sweet Mary, the mother of Christ.
Her hand ON the hand of the angel
She laid, and her touch suficed,

Figaro tells an amusing story about
NJ. Ricard, the minister of justice. Some
time ago he bought two launches OF
kangaroo at a shop where frozen meats
from Australia are sold. He had them
served up "a la sauce poivade." His
guests, who were curious to try this
"plat exotique," found it anything but
suited to their taste. The kangaroo had
a most peculiar flavor. M. Ricard was
naturally much vexed. He made a COM
plant to the ~shopkeeper and asked him
to taste the remains of the dish. 1t was
then discovered that the launches had
been cooked in lamp oil instead of olive
oil, but it is not known who made this

Blood Poison.

Contagious Blood Poison has been ap-
propriate1y called the curse of mankind.
1t is the one disease that physicians can

remedies only bottle up the poison in

more ~virulent form, resulting in a total
wreck of the system.

The Power of the Word Resurrection.

Luz IOWeT OI tne WOTu LesuFroctiuus
The skeptical mind may frame ques-
lions as it will-death sternly refuses
to give it any satisfaction. The love OF
money may heap around us mountains Of
gold. All this is but to lower the ratio
of that which a man is to that which
he possesses. The fever of self indul-
gence may multiply our e~njoyments, but
each new enjoyment is, for the common
run of men, a new want, and each new
want is a new link in the chain of moral
s~ervitude, a new deduction from our high
prerogative of freedom. Schemes of ne
cation may each for awhile fret and
fume upon the stage of human affairs.
1t is death, the great auditor of ac-
counts, that reduces them, one and all,
to their natural and small dimensions.
The present is louder than ever in its
imperious demands, but injured nature
takes it upon her to reply that the pres
ent is the life of animals, and the flu.
ture is the life of man. In the develop.
ment of luxury, we are UNNECESSARILY
ahead of the ancient Greek, and we
might have ppou propurUIunauly mure

ings of the soul respecting that which is
to come had not a new voice sounded
forth in the world to proclaim the word

impossible, by any process within our
resources, to stife the longings of the
human spirit to obtain the command OF
some instrument for measuring the flu
ture which expands before it.-Hon. W.
