OF SKILL.
By BEATRICE WHITLEY.

Her voice came thick and low, her
hands fell down from before her pale
face; she tried to smile and then muir
muring, II don't feel very WELL" she
fell back again upon his shoulder. She

On the summit of the hill which they
were mounting was country inn;
thither BERTHE, supporting the girl,
with a now aching arm, drove fast.
Assisted by the host, he lifted Helen
from the cart and carried her into the
house. In the inn parlOr stood that
horse hair sofa peculiar to Wayside
hostelries and sea side lodgings oft de-
scribed because the memory of it's dis
comforts is not easily obliterated.
Upon it MI. Jones laid his burden. He
was almost as pale as she; he kept his
head, but he was horribly frightened;
he fully believed her to be dead and
lady, who told him that 'her Mary
Kate failed away q score O. times last
summer
They doused Helen's pretty head
with water and chafed her white
hands: they famed her with a news
paper and burned feathers and held
salts under her nose. Every sugges-
tion which the landlady made BERTHE
executed with feyerish anxiety. But

between her pale lips, it had at last
the desired effect; she coughed once or

His Idea of Heaven.

The little boy was going to Sunday
school for the first time He had learn
ed much and had had his curiosity
awakened upon the subject of another
world and the Deity, to whom he had
been told to look with filial affection.
One idea that had fixed itself in his
young mind was that this Deity re-
sided somewhere in space high above
his head. Not long after these impress
sions had been made, the young man
was taken to walk by his cousin. AS
they approached a hill the small boy
was seen to be intently looking up
ward. "Oh, Annie" he exclaimed in
an awed tone, Il Think know | can
see my Heavenly Father over there"

The high water marks of several eX
traordinarily high tides have been kept
at Easton FONT, st. NIichaefs and
Oxford. What is known as the
centennial tide" of September, 1876,
has held the record of the highest
water mark, and still holds it, al
though last Thursday mornings, (Oc-

centennial mark. The recent flood had
O singular effect on the flow of the ar
tesian wells on Tilghman's island.
These wells average 400 feet in depth,
and many of them have a surface
overflow, which increased fully double
in velocity and more in volume when
the tide was at it's highest. 1t has
been noticed before that any unusual
high tide is perceptible in the effect it
has on the flow of the wells.-Balti-

A JOKE BY RENEGADE APACHES.

Apache Indians have been playing a
practical joke on the United States
army. which leaves no doubt that the
Indian does possess a sense of humor

things that don't belong 10 him. y

On the very first night in camp the
Indians they had been searching for

the provisions they could get hold ot,
Il couple of pack mules and two saddle
horses, and then crcpt away SO quietly

than five miles from the camp. The

the BOW IN THE CLOUD,

All day long the clouds had lowered,
and the rain had swept the earth,
Till 1t lay all fair and lovely
As when God first gave II birth;
And the unset splendor falling,
Set a rainbow in the sky:
AND / learned life's hardest lesson
As the clouds were drifting by.
For the radiant sunset glory.
Failing on my raptu-ed eyes.
As the clouds were lifted. thrilled me
With a rare and sweet surprise.
But if life were all fair weather,
AS the fecting DAYS 20 by,
We should never know the beauty
or the rainbow in the sky.
As the sun seems all the brighter
70 the trOublous clouds that rise,
50 our tears but clear our vision
For the r~ainbow's glad surprise.
AND our hearts are all the purer
For the Fathers Christening hand,
hhiie Il faith grows clearer. trusting
Where We cannot understand.
SO II hearts were free from sorrow,
Eyes were never filed with tears,
We should never know tn. rapture
When this Comforter appears
Nhen we rest upon His bosom,
As the passing moments roll,
And the Fathers smile caressing,
Sets a rainbow in the soul.
