Dangerous Celluloid.

The constantly increasing use of cellu-

makes it wise to point out that this
substance can be. under some conditions
very dangerous. 1t Is made chiefly from

Ccnsola,ioR.

1t is not thine, my soul, to make COM
plaint
God giveth strength and blessing to the
faint
That heart most fully understands his
will
That when afflicted most doth most keep
still.
Doth sorrow to his children come in
vain?
Nay. beauty fingers on the cheek OF
pain!
The sweet rose yieldeth to the storms
embrace.
And meath the cloud the sun doth hide
his face:
But for the storm more sweetly smiles
the rose
And round the cloud the golden sunlight
glows;
Thus when the tempest bursts upon
thee. soul.
And o'er life's sun black clouds of an
guish roll
Come forth. as comes the rose. with
sweeter smile.
Or fash thy light round the dark cloud

Dickens and the Coronation.

An interesting contribution to the
evening meeting OF the Boz Cuban as
sociation composed of those who knew
and loved Dickens during his lifetime
held at London. was narrated by a peer.
who himself has received 1t from the
mouth OF one who was present with his
peers at the coronation Of Queen Vic
toria. They had assembled In the alb
bey at o'clock in the morning. with
the prospect Of remaining In their places
for ten hours: but twenty-five peers
came provided with copies OF paper
covered installment. published the previ-
GUS evening. OF a story by Boz. Less
fortunate peers demanded that the num-
Der should be read aloud. but this pro-
posal being objected to as inconsistent
with the sanctity Of the place. they
waited as patiently as they could until
each in his turn received the coveted
chapters.
The point OF the story, says the Lon
don Graphic is that there was at that
time in England a novelist. who, though
only twenty-slx years OF age, could COM
mand the public interest to such an ex-
tent that no fewer than twenty-five cop
les Of his work were to be found in one
gallery of that august assembly.

ROMANCE OF A LONG LOST BIBLE.

It'll copy of the pretended Ameri-
can edition is produced, he said, mo
credit can be given to the secondhand
story,
The Mckee copy, just sold, is appar-
emily the long lost one, and it's exist
ence affirms the truth of Thomas state
ment. Save in type and ornaments used,
it is identical with the authorized Bibles
of the same period which were printed
by Thomas Basket.
John Anderson. jr., of this city, who
was friend of Mr.. Mckee and aware Of
his possession of the Bible OF 1852. took
for many years keen interest in the
subject, hoping to unearth a second copy.
For long time he searched without
success. but in 1895 he came across an
imperfect Bible, which was plainly of 4
second edition and issued nine years
later by Samuel Kneeland.
History states that the partnership Of
Kneeland & Green was dissolved in 1852.
Green went 10 New London, Conn. and
Kneeland remained in Boston till 1863.
In I16l Kneeland seems to have taken
some of the sheets of the 1852 Bible and
issued a new edition bearing fresh title
pages.
1t may sbe that the printers became
frightened after printing the pirated
Bible in 1852 and allowed only a few
copies TO so abroad. This would account
for the fact that the Mckee copy of that
edition is apparently unique.
Thomas says that Governor Hancock
possessed a copy, but the Hancock II
brary. with all it's valuable historical
collections, was unfortunately destroyed
by mob.
No othe: copy of the 1851 edition save
Mr., Anderson's is known to exist. It
bears the autograph of David Living
stone one OF the signers of the Declara-
tion OF independence. The volume also
contains an interesting family record.

which begins with the year 1851.

conflict that had proceeded for un-

THE MYSTERY.
By JOHN A. JOYCE.

If after death know no more
Than just before the hour of birth,
Why should | dread the unknown shore
Or sigh at leaving this bright earth7
The God that brought me here must know
The purpose of this earthly plan,
For all is struggle, strife and woe
That fills the life of little man.
Some drift upon summer sea,
While millions battle with the tide,
And all at best is mystery
No voice comes back from those who died
And yet bright hope within the soul,
Still whispers to the brave and free
That some day we shall know the whole
OF life's transcendent mystery.

THE POWER OF LOVE.
By DON MARQUIS.

Should you ever, repenting
Come to me there, dear;
And stand by the grave
Of him whose fond heart
You cared not to save
Should you, stand there relenting,
All sottened, repentmg,
Till old memories thronging
Should awaken the longing
To look on my face once again
And should you stoop down there
With face to the grasses
SO nothing could hear it
(Not even the violet
Or bluebel 'mong the MOSES,
Or buttercup, dew-wet,
Or daisy that tosses
Her head to the warm wind that passes)-
If YOU should bend down there
And call me once more
The secret, sweet name
The dear name we two knew of yore
Fer you bade my heart break
know that dead heart would awake
| should come to you then,
The spirit would take
Its old form again just for your sake.
My dumb dust would awake,
Would arise and off-shake
All the mold-rotten garments of death
AT the sound of that name.
The old fire would out-hame
Into being again for the space of breath.
/ should clasp you, ah, tight,
AS | did that last night
Fer you bade my heart breakl
l would clasp you and slake
All the thirst of my soul in one kiss
And die again then-die in bliss.
