For sooh a Time as This.

To most of us there Is something
fascinating in the thought that every
life has its red-letter day. In other
words, sooner or later. there comes to
every man the opportunity for doing
the thing for which God created him.
To make the best use of the opportu-
nifty is, according to heavenly stan
dards, success; to have missed it, is
failure. An eminent physician picked
up in the street one day a homeless
lad, and, taking him to his home, treat
ed him with the utmost kindness. He
took the boy into his office and gave
him the training that would fit him to
be skillful nurse. Some day, when
| am sick and in need of attention. he
will be able to care for me-" the old
doctor said, when his friends remon-
strated with him for the care he was
bestowing upon the boy. THAT VIII
more than repay me for my pains"
One day, when the boy had grown al
most to manhood, he went away on a
pleasure excursion. contrary to the
wishes of his Denefactor, who needed
his help. While he was gone, the old
doctor was stricken with sudden i'll
ness and died alone in his office for
want of someone to minister to him.
TO think that that lad should have
failed me at the very moment for
which | have these years been plan
ningl" he moaned again and again
And the boy echoed the lament when
he returned to find his friend cold in
death. But how was he to have known
that he was missing that for which
he had been brought to this moment2
How are we to know when we arc
sighting the supreme opportunity for
which God placed us here? My broth
er. we cannot know If the boy had
never been faithless to his duty, there
would have been no such sad denoue-
ment; If you and took every oppor-
tunity earnestly. there would be no
danger of our failing to grasp the
great one. Better that life should be
series of seeming defeats that end
in victory, than succession OF brill
liant achievements that end in failure

Halffainting, poor Mercedita was
led back to prison, and few days
after preparations we're made to exc
cute the sentence pronounced against
her.
On the day that Mercedita was led
to the stake the schooner of Bluebeard
came into the harbor. Landing, he
was told the news, and almost instant
ly had ordered his crew ashore. At the
head of fifty desperate followers he
charged the soldiers on guard, rescued
his wife and was aboard his schooner
before the townspeople knew what had
happened. AS he sailed away he fred
a broadside, hoisted the black flag
with his rwn hands and steered for
Havana, from which place he is said
to have operated in conjunction with
the wreckers along the Florida keys.
However that may be, he was never
heard Of again in st. Thomas.

Tobacco Alknioids.

According to DR.. Thomas there are
two alkaloids present in cigars-nico-
tine and pyridine, the latter being de-
rived from the former. The stump con-
tains four times as much nicotine as
the smoke, and the average cigar con-
tains only 1.12 per cent OF nicotine,
comparatively little of either alkalold
ever reaches the mouth The only con-
stituents that could be harmful are
carbon monoxide, produced to the ex-
tent Of % &C. for each lsilogramme Of
tobacco, and an ethereal oil. The for
mer can probobly be ruled out. The
latter, consisting of pyridine, a phe-
mol and probably furfurol, but very diff
fcult Of analysis, is highly poisonous,
causing the symptoms commonly as
sociated with tobacco.-C Chicago Jour

courted Spanish Maiden.

In the island there lived courtly
and high spirited gentleman, de-
scendant Of the grandees of Spain. Don
Geronimo Cordoban had one daughter,
a creole of the island, and she, Merce-
dita, was so superior in all that consti-
tuted beauty and excellence that Blue
beard fell in love with her at first sight
and swore to make her his wife.
He courted Mercedita, and 1t was
not long ere she began to love the oily
tongued pirate, who knew so well how
to hide his wickedness under smooth
exterior, aided by handsome presents
and most affable manner. Soon they
we're married and she was installed as
mistress of the castle.
One day Bluebeard bid his wife
adieu and sailed away in his schooner
Before leaving he placed locked cas-
ket in her possession. along with the
key, but with the injunction not to
open 1t unless he should not return for
six months. Every day for two months
Mercedita went to the top Of the castle
and looked seaward, hoping to catch
glimpse of her husbands vessel. Then
she became lonely, and one evening,
overcome by the demon OF curiosity,
took up the casket, inserted the key,
and, turning the lock, exposed the con-
tents to view. She saw packet of
letters tied with ribbon.
