VIII never a sunbeam glimmer
Through the clouds that o'ershadoW my
life?
VIII the sorrows that now oerwhelm ms
Give place to naught save strife?
Has my day-star set forever
In the firmanent of night?
Are the joys and pleasures of long ago
Forever hidden from sight?
Shall never ray of gladness
Be mine in the days to come?
Is my life to be filed with sadness
Till the lips are cold and dumb?
Till the weary heart shall slumber
In silent, peaceful rest,
And hands, so chill and pulseless.
Are folded Ger the cold, white breast?
Life's clouds grow dense and darksome,
As they enfold me in a misty vail,
While | grope amid the darkness
The storm and falling rain
Tis the tears, the tears of sorrow,
That fall on my heart. SO drear:
Like falling dewdrops, they whisper,
You'll neer find happiness here;
Your life will know no gladness,
Your soul will ne'er~ find rest.
Till you learn the lesson of patience,
For God doth all for the best.
Can | learn the lesson of meekness,

Win happiness be my portion
If / learn to bear and forbear?

And the victory DER self be won,
If humbly | bow to the will of God

In 1896 Barnato was in England
When the johannesburg revolt took
place it was a heavy blow. Going again
to Africa he worked there without Civ
ing himself a moments rest. He took
his place in Parliament. Then the
symptoms of mental disturbance again
occurred. He sailed for England in
June, and on the 18th of the month
ended his life by jumping overheard

"Barnato" was taken from the pro
fessional' name of cousin, who was
prestidigitateur or something of tnat
kind, who had gone to South Africa to
pick up a living Barney Barnato seems
to have been an easy going kind OF
man. addicted to athletics, an amateur
pugilist of 70 mean powers, with
great liking for the stage. There is no
need to draw out any long moralizing
on a character of his kind. Barney Bar
nato was neither better nor worse than
have been many millionaires before
him. He seems to have had plenty of
energy in his composition. and was
free-handed and liberal with his mon
ey. Elegance of manner and education
he did not possess, nor is that sup
posably one of the factors necessary
when a fortune is to be made. We fail
to discover that Barney Barnato was
tricky or dishonest. He was only un-
commonly shrewd and as this world
goes, that is a desirable quality.-New

ELISHA GRAY.
The Inventor of the telephone
PenniIess and in Want.

1t is but natural that Elisha Gray,
he inventor of the telephone, should
be of a pessimistic disposition. His
name should be as well known through
cut the world as those of Edison and
Tesla. but he is really very little known.
He began life as a farm boy, his par
ents living in Belmont County, Ohio.
His father died when he was y years
of age. He secured work as a black
smiths apprentice. He then became a
carpenters apprentice until he was 81.
He went to Oberiin College, working his
way through that institution.

His words were almost lost in the con-
fusion that followed-prayers, groans,
shouts, responses-and above all soft
monotonous chant was heard. The mass of
humanity, which pressed close to the
speaker, swayed to and fro, as if swept by
a mighty wind.
Suddenly the speakers voice resumed
its wonted tone, order was restored and
the prayer was brought to close

In a few minutes the crowd has dispersed,
seemingly forgetful of the late excitement

sway As they follow the narrow path

side her, tells Sis Chloe of late wonderful
achievements of her own "speckled pullet"
in the egg producing line. Her hearer,
barely suppressing a sniff of incredulity,
bestows sound cuff on the long suffering

she encores the proceeding: "See dat sun

OF the mysterious disappearance of fat
