Of Gods dear ones, referring to a fresh
blessing from God: This sudden coming
Of long-expected blessing is the sweetest

Rest, peace and life, the flowers of fade

The Saviour gives us not beyond the

But h,~ and now, on earth, some glimpse
is given
OF joys. which wait US through the gates
of heaven"
And thus it ever is in youth, in maturity,
in age and yet beyond-the best is yet to
come. Let US look forward and upward,
and ever hope and trust and praise.-Sun.

The Color of Ghosts.

Gray, rather than black or white. ap.
pears to be the prevailing color worn
by the latter-day ghosts. Two houses,
one in England and the other in Ire.
land, are persistently haunted by what
are called gray ladies' The Irish
spook of this category recently stood
in front of bust of Shakespeare, hid
den by her form. A pair of shoes,
thrown at her Opaque substance, pene'
trated it completely and crashed
against the marble bust. A third gray
ghost haunting the ancient dormitory
of an English college is, on the other
hand. transparent. The panels of win
dows can be seen through its form. A
fourth gray ghost appears as shadow,
singularly distinct and showing all the
lines and features of human being.
Still another spook, that of Colonel Av-
Meinander, seen in st. Petersburg, is
gray shadow. In fact, there are too
many gray ghost for enumeration. The
"sheeted dead appear to be in small
minority nowadays. Even black ghosts
seem to outnumber them. The black
seen in daylight upon an English coun-
try road sometimes wears a white film
of vapor enveloping his sable raiment.
The phantom of another clergyman,
seen in church. is described as "a black.
clear mist with the outline of man."
That of "a little old woman in brown
has long haunted the front yard of
certain cottage. while that of 'an old
lady in green" bothers a minister OF
the gospel.-Washingto Star.

For That Coming In the Near Future
Let No Duty BE Undone.
Men may talk Of the turf and the bowl:
Men may revel in songs that are wild;
But when all has been said, and sung, soul,
There is only one life rcconciled.
When the battles are fought, and won,
man,
And riches come in with the tide,
Even then cries the heart in the van.
There is only one life, without pride.
You may boast of your fortune to-day.
You may travel to climes that delight,
But the scenes that entrance plainly say,
There is only one life that is right.
In the midst of your pomp and your pride,
When the nations lool; on with dismay.
There's a voice must be heard at your side,
There is only one life, and this way:
You must all use your wealth and your
minds.
In the service of Christ on earth:
For in doing Gods viii the soul finds,
There is only one life, u new birth.

REINDEER VIBRATIONS.

During the course of paper on the

Captain B. ii. butcher. of the United

facts relative to the remarkable migra.

point of Maine, that is given to migra.
tlons at irregular intervals, and within
the memory of people living in the
Mount Katahdin neighborhood there
have been two such migratons within
the last eighty years.
In both instances Mount KatahdlS
has formed the southern terminus Of
the reindeer migration. the immense
herd hating on reaching that point,
and, on the approach of spring, return.

Canada and Labrador. The last mi.
grafton of caribou within the memory
of the Mount Katahdin residents oc-
Cured late In the fall of 1896, when a
herd of thousands of caribou that had
attracted attention by their migration
through Labrador Canada and New
Brunswick suddenly appeared in the
forests about the famous mountain,
All that winter the natives of the
region feasted on juicy reindeer steak,
but with the first signs of spring the
herd gathered together and left the
neighborhood as suddenly as they
came, returning to their homes in bleak
and inhospitable Labrador. Two days
after the herd got under way there
was not reindeer to be seen nor found
in the entire Mount Katahdin district,
nor have any been seen there since.
This propensity of the reindeer sud.
denly to gather in large herds and
make long journeys covering thousands
of miles is phenomenon that has
long puzzled naturalists, and has never
been satisfactorily accounted for. I'm.
like the bison, or buffalo, which animal
migrates north in summer and south
in winter, the reindeer has no stateS
time nor season for migrating, nor,
so far as naturalists have been able to
discover. Is there any good reason or
cause for such action on their part.

age along the Siberian coast. from
Bergen Norway, to Bering Strait, wit.
messed one of the largest reindeer mi.
grations that. according to the va.
kuts, Samoyedes and Buriats, had
taken place in Northern Siberia in two
centuries, there being nothing in the
native traditions covering that period
to indicate like migration. Accord.
ing to Nordenskjold. the herd numbered
close to half a million, and the region
over which it passed was swept bare of
reindeer moss and other plants upon
which these animals feed.

What towns is this. with dirty lanes:
With gates awry and fences down;
Unpainted houses--broken panes:

But, then, they live in Drunkards Town
The children of this wretehcd place

With grimy hand and dirty face
But they don't care in Drunkards' Town

And each receives scanty share

They have no schools in this mean town,
They have no church--no Sunday there
