The Dread of Death,

Granted that it is the will of God
that we shall remain on earth and live
our appointed lives there, it is essential
that mankind should feel the dread of
death. Without that dread the world
could hardly remain peopled. The
dread of death is to the soul what the
law Of gravity is to the body. 1t an
chors us to the earth. Without that
dread to weigh us down and keep us to
the globe half mankind would be driy-
en- by curiosity, by the love Of change,
by the dread Of ennui, by what Bacon
calls "niceness and safety" to push
open the closed door and see what is
beyond. Children and few very hap
py and easily pleased people might
perhaps say they would not explore
farther and that they were perfectly
content with things as they are.-St.

be yourself, not act as every true Eng

His Grace,

Little Milly is a good Sunday school
scholar and on that account was invit-
ed with two or three others to spend
the day at the minister's residence by
way of reward. When the dinner came
on the good man said such a long
grace before meat that Milly yawned
and looked hungrily at the covers.
"Why are you yawning, MillyY'' ask
ed the minister. "Does not your IA
ther say grace?"
ooh, yes" answered Milly promptly
"but it isn't so long as that"
"And what does he say?" pursued
the clergyman, hoping to obtain text
for little homily.
"He says different things, but last
time when he sat down he took off the
cover and said: Great snakes! Do you
call this dinner?"

The Old staeecoach.

Those who are accustomed to look
back with longing eyes to the "good
old days" will find it interesting to
learn that in the middle of the eight
zenith century the common carrier be
tween Selkirk and Edinburgh, dis
lance of thirty eight miles, required
two weeks to make the journey. In
ITS 1t took a day and a half for a
stagecoach to go from Edinburgh to
Glasgow, only forty-four miles away
About the same time the swiftest stages
seldom covered the road between Edin-
burgh and London, $40 miles, in less
than two weeks, an average speed of
about twenty-five miles day.-St

the evils of drink, and nearly $4,000 pu-

Warning Death Phantom of the Reign
ing House of Prussia.
On the night before the battle Of
Saalfield Prince Louis of Prussia and
his adjutant, Count Nostitz, were chat
ting In the Schloss Schwarzburg- Ru-
dotfstadt. The prince was anticipat-
ing victory when he suddenly turned
pale and rushed from the room, pur-
suing through the hall a shadowy
white robed figure. The sentinel saw
it also. .
Next day Nostitz and the prince saw
the white lady on a hill wringing her
hands in despair as the Germans fell
back. A few minutes later Louis was
killed and Nostitz wounded. Nostit2
told the story to his son, and the scr
to Unser Fritz.
7 The white lady's first appearance
was when she was seen in the palace
at Baireuth In 1886 She appeared
eight or ten times in the next century.

tered In Baireuth she frightened them,
