Evolution Of Chemistry.

The first chemists were the alchem-
lists, who for hundreds of years vainly
tried to make gold by compromising va
rious chemicals. Chemistry was intro
duced into Spain by the Moors in 1850,
and the Chinese and Egyptians claimed
an early acquaintance with it. Howev-
or, chemistry was not a science until
the seventeenth century Boerhaave
was the first to combine the study of
chemistry with medicine. and since
then its evolution has been rapid.

men, headed by Labanga. following
the prince. His horse had jumped just
as he was mounting. and his sword fell
out of its scabbard. He was very ac-
tive and was vaulting on his horse In
motion when the wallet on the front
of the saddle broke away. and he fell
to the ground. being at this time only
sixty yards behind the (British) fugi-
tives. There were seven men who ac
tually fought the prince. When Ian

from the prince, who was rushing at
him. Labanga. crouching in the grass.
threw an assagai at him. The first as

kept his foes at bay for some minutes.
In the natives words: He fought like

him. which struck him. as said at the
time. but always allowed r.abanga's

few ministers were on board the
Connecticut river valley rail, a
certain number of ladies boarded

ing them the impression that a
full attendance with a large num-
Der of delegates would be present

which they were going. But,
alas, on their return home, they
found themselves greatly mis-
taken, by the recital the ladies
were giving of their pleasure at

to grow another leg. The new leg may
not be as long and as strong as the lost
leg, but still it is leg, and with it she
is able to go ON and live her life and do
! her life work. Oh, that men and wo-

tie of sin could realize that when they

something for him.
The arachnoid group, to which the
spiders belong, can be traced back as
to their name to a Grecian mytholog-
ical maiden Arachne. She was of NOR
tai birth and was known far and wide
for her wonderful skill in weaving and
embroidery. One day she challenged
Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, to a
trial of the liberal arts. Minerva, in
the guise of an old woman, tried to
dissuade her in vain. The goddess
then threw off her disguise and the
competition began. Faster and faster
went the fingers. Arachne, in her
pride, wove in her cloth a picture of
the failures and the righteousness and
the sins Of the gods, as some of us
try to justify our sins by complaining
of the injustice of our hard lot. Miner
va, angered by Arachne's presumption,
changed the haunting maiden into the
form of a spider, so that, despised of
all mankind, she might go on spinning
and weaving forever.
Oh, is that to be our fate? Shall we
blaspheme against and turn our backs
upon the Saviour's pleadings for the
higher life and have him say, depart
from me, for | know you nOtW Or
shall we be like a spider which taketh
hold with her hands and is in kings
palaces? Shall we not dwell in the
kings palaces of Gods love? Shall
we not stop living in the dark caverns
of sin? Shall we dwell in the kings
palaces of a Saviours atonement,
where he will guard us and bless us
and keep us forever with him? 1t
rests entirely with us where we shall
dwell through eternity. For today the
Divine King bids US come and dwell
with him in his earthly and heavenly
palaces,

On January 81, 1880, Mr.. HALEY
married Mary Lumsden Of New
bury, who has been a most faithful
helpmeet to him in his declining
years, and has tenderly cared for
him to the last, and now survives
him. When but a young man in
his native town, Mr.. HALEY opened
his heart to the Saviour, and ever
afterwards followed on to do His
will. Such character comes only
by years of experience in faith,
and of doing Gods will amid the
testing scenes of life. For more
than fifty years he was a consistent
member Of the Presbyterian church
at South Ryegate, covering the
time of the entire pastorates of
Revs. Bole, Mcdonnell, Kendall
and others. For seventy-fve years
he walked with his God. He now
rests from his labors, and his
works do follow him. Funeral
