1t is not generally known that the
drag rope, now SO indispensable to bal
loonists, was first used by Aeronaut
Samuel King of this city. 1.-THE idea of
using such rope" says Professor
King, Twas first suggested by the IA
nous Green of England. He called it a
guide rope, and he carried one with him
in trip across the English channel,
but he never used it. Away back in
1857 was making captive ascensions'
at New Haven, and, having finished
that business, decided to take short
voyage to test the value of the trailing
rope. | had $50 pounds Of rope on my
windlass, and on certain day ar
ranged with my assistant to cut the
rope at the windlass after l had got my
balloon in the air aud let me sail off. /
ballasted my balloon SO that only half
the weight of the rope, or 75 pounds,
should trail. l got off all right, with
my rope twisting along under me like
snake A score of misguided laborers in
a field, imagining that the balloon had
broken loose by accident, grabbed the
rope and held me. 1t took me some
time to convince them that l didn't
want to be stopped | sailed along for
some time and found that the drag rope
gave greater stability to the balloon,
but the action Of the sun upon the gas
worked against me. The suns heat, ex-
panding the gas, gave me false buoy
ancy, picked up my rs pounds of rope
and severed my connection with the
ground. After that used the drag rope
very frequently, and it was generally
adopted by aeronauts. "-Philadelphia

She began putting it on; her fingers
trembled; a look of her girlhood came
into her face. Ellen watched her.
'T'm ready" she said, at last.
Late August pinks bloomed thickly
along the garden path Adelaide trod that
night. She stopped and pulled great
handfal.
The pike was dim track running east
and west; there was no moon; the stars
were scattered and few. Far ahead shone
light in window. Il was lit in Jane
Roseborough's little parlor, and behind il
was the lover of Adelaide's youth. She
hurried toward it. The guests pluck ed
her By the skirts; they beat the spice out
of the pinks she had gathered. Vague
whiffs of them reached her now and then.
The light drew nearer. The shrubs in
corner of the Roseborough front yard
swayed in sea of glory.
Adelaide knocked. Jane opened the
door, Adelaide did not see Jane; she
was blind to the shadowy other figures in
the room; she saw only Adam Rose
borough sitting pale aud middle-sged by
tho chimney place.
'I've come to see how you are, Adam"
She held out the pinks.

I've been here, and long before" he

GEMS.

The whole system of life is full of
divine and memorable compensation.
AS there are many wolves within the
church, so out of it there are many
sheep.
They who scatter with one hand
gather with two; not always in coin, but
in kind.
In danger Christ lashes us to himself
! as Alpine guides do when there is peril.
GUS ice to get over.
Since gifts are seeds, he that holds
himself back from giving thereby holds
himself back from the harvest.
He that has pure heart will never
cease to pray, and he who will be con
slant in prayer shall know what it is to
have pure heart.
Gods sweet dews and showers slide
off the mountains and fall on the low
valleys of humble hearts, and make
them pleasant and fertile.
God grant that as our horiz IN of duty
is widened our minds may widen with it.;
that as our burden is increased our
shoulders may be strengthened to bear it,
In putting man to struggle against
misfortune God purifies him from his
past faults, puts him ON his guard
against future ones, and ripens him for
heaven.
1t is not the smallness of your life, but
the quality of it. that is important. You
cannot be an oak or an elm, but if you
are violent under maple, drinking In
the sunshine aud the dew, you should be
content, for in the providence of God
humble lives oheerfully lived have in
finite value.
1t is instructive to notice how each
living thing takes from the sunbeam
what it wants-one its arena, another its
color, a third it's luscious TASTE So
should we extract from Christ whatever
we require to complete our character. The
short-tempored must take patience; the
passionate, purity; the cowardly, moral
strength; the domineering, patience; the
downoast. comfort. We must not simply
pray for them, but take them.
The most OBVIOUS lesson in Christ's
teaching is that there is no happiness in
having and getting anything, but only
in giving; and half the world is on the
wrong scent in the pursuit OF happiness.
They think it consists in having and
getting, and being served by others; but
it consists in giving and serving others.
He that would be great among you, said
Christ, let him serve; he that would be
happy, let him remember that there is
but one way-it is more blessed, it is
more happy to give than to receive.

sORROWFUL THINGS.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

There is much that makes me sorry as
journey down life's way,
And l seem to see more pathos in poor
human lives each day.
am sorry for the strong, brave men who
shield the weak from harm,
But who, in their own troubled hours, find
no protecting arm.
l am sorry for the victors who have reached
success to stand
AS targets for the arrows shot by envious
failures hand.
1 am sorry for the generous hearts who
freely shared their wine,
But drink alone the gall of tears in for
tunes drear decline.
am sorry for the souls who build their own
frames funeral pyre,
Derided by the scornful throng, like ice de-
riding fire.
1 am sorry for the conquering ones who
know not sims defeat,
But daily tread down fierce desires meath
scorched and bleeding feet.
l am sorry for the anguished hearts that
break with passions strains,
But am sorrier for thu poor, starved souls
that never knew loves pains,
Who hunger on through barren years moi
tasting joys they crave,
For sadder far is such lot than weeping
o'era grave.
l am sorry for the souls that come unwel
coined into birth;
1 am sorry for the unloved old who cumber
up The earth;
| am sorry for the suffering poor in life,s
maelstrom hurled
In truth, am sorry for them all who make
this aching world.
But underneath whatever seems sad and Is
not understood
l know there lies hid from our sight a mighty
germ of good.
And this belief stands finn by me, my ser.
mon, motto text
The sorriest things in this life will seem
grandest in the next.

DREAMS OF THE DAYS GONE By.

Dreams, come home to my heart again
With the memory Of the past,
Come with your pleasure and your pain
And your hopes too bright to last.
Come from your hidden graves that lie
In the beautiful realms of the days gone by;
Come from your glorious graves that lie
In the realms of the days gone byi :
~ :
will welcome ye all again, s.
AS once In the halls of ED,
Welcome the pleasure and the pain
For the beauty your brief lives held.
Dreams, come out Of your secret graves
In the woodland wilds and the dim sea
caves;
Dreams, come out Of your myriad graves
In the wilds and the dim sea caves!
Ye throng the halls of my heart once more
With faces sad with pain.
Oh, faded ghosts Of the dreams Of yore,
The Joy comes not again.
Go back to your mournful graves that lie
In the shadowy realms of the days gone by;
Go back to your voiceless graves that lie
In the realms Of the days gone byi

THE TRUTH ABOUT 1T.
What Is the Use Of living If You Can't
BE In ItP

What Is the Use Of Living IL You Can't
Be In IT.
Yes, Erastus, we have r7.iccl that
article in a scientific Journal advising
people to sleep more in O. !cr to live
long, and to tell you the truth we take
but little stock in it. We uctice that
Tesla, the great electrician, claims that
a man might live to be zoe years old if
he would only sleep most e the time
And suppose he should. W i would
man amount to sleeping !. 4 fat dog
in the summer? For all Pr ii ii pur-
poses ii man might as we'll teads as
to be asleep. with this advantage IN the
way of being dead-he isn't in any
body's road.
Suppose man lived for 400 years
and slept 100 of it. He can only figure
out when the thing is through that he
has really lived 40 years, and in that 40
he neither cuts as much ice nor has half
the fun the man has who passes in his
checks at 60 and out of the go has only
slept so years. Is there any particular
object, my boy, in simply lying round
asleep for so years, wearing out bed
expenses? We think not. All there is
in life worth living for you get while
you are awake. All the time you ought
to spend asleep is just enough to enable
you to keep awake the rest Of the time.
Sleep is a necessary evil, just so
much good time that you have to give
up in order to keep your stomach, liver
and other organs in fair shape OF
course we have read good deal about
beautiful dreams, when angels hover
overhead and all that, but our expert
ence is that this talk is almost alto
gether rot. When you are in good phys
ical condition. you don't dream. When
you dream, the angels aren't in that
vicinity. 1t is when you have filed
your interior with fatted swine and
boiled cabbage that you retire to sleep,
perchance to dream. To dream-aye,
there is the rub!-when you feel four
headed dog sitting upon your vitals and
know that the horned and cloven tailed
whangdoodle from the barren mountains
of Hepsidam is crawling upon you,
breathing smoke and fire, and you are
paralyzed, or you seem all at once to
find yourself in the midst of some gay
and cultured assembly with no clothing
on your person except perhaps o paper
collar and pair of hose supporters and
utterly unable to explain to the ladies
and gentlemen present why you are
there i'll this decollete costume or to
take your departure.
There is nothing angelic or heavenly
about the average dream. On the con-
trary, it is hades and repeat. The young
man who has to be routed out of bed at
9 or 10 o'clock i'll the morning may live
a good while, but the chances are that
| he won't amount to as much in life as
a three legged dog in jack rabbit
chase. The proper thing, young fellow,
is to sleep less and get hump ON your
self, even if you should pass out before
| you are so. One year OF life spent in
! knocking rich, ripe, luscious persim-
mons is worth five sleeping in the shade
with the worms crawling over your per-
son and the timber bugs trying to roll
you out of their way.-Tom McNeal in
