Mlint could be more tender in entiment
or beautiful in expression than the follow
ing lines from a poem of Mary Louis Chit
wood :
“If a pilgrim hath been shadowed
By a tree that I have nursed;
If a oup of clear cold water
I have raised to lips athirst ;
If I’ve planted one sweet flower
By nn else too barren way ;
If I’ve whispered in the midnight
One sweet word to tell of day ;
If in one poor bleeding bosom
Ia woe-swept chord have stilled ;
If a dark and restless spirit
I with hope of heaven have filled ;
If I've made for life's hard battle
One faint heart grow hravea.id strong.
Then, my God, T thank thee, bless thee,
lor the precious gift of song!”

According to the computation of
\ dlalpandus, the value of the talent o
■I gold, silver and brass used in the
construction ol the temple amounted tn
834 390.1117 500. The jewels are
ipekonetj to have exceeded this stun,
hut for the take of an - stimntc are se’
down for tlje same amount, fhe ves
sels of gold consecrated to the use of
•lie temple are reckoned by Josephus at
140,000 talents, which a cording to
Chapel’s reduction, are equal ,4n 82.721.-

computed at 82.440.720 000. The
silver vestments at 810.000,000; and
the other musical instruments at $200,-

Nose llleeth
There are two little arteries which
supply the whole face with blond, one
on each side ; these branch oft from the
main arteries on each sole of the wind
pipe, and running upward toward the
eyes, pass over the outside of the j w- j
hope, a built two thirds of the .Way b ek j
from the chin to the angle of the jaw. '
under tile ear. Each of these arteries,
of course, supplies just one-hall of the
face, ,the nose heit.g the dividing line,
the left nostril is supplie i with blood
bv the left artery and the right msiril
by the right artery. Now, supposing
your rmse bleeds by the right nostril,
with the end of the } f-re linger feel
along the outer edge of the tight jaw
until you feel the heating of the arte
ry directly under your finger, the same
as the pulse in jour wrist, then press
the finger hard ppnn it, thus getting
the little fellow in n -tight place be
tween your finger and the jaw-hone ;
the result will be 'hat not a drop of
blood goes into that side of your lace
while the pressure continues; hence
the nose instantly stops bleeding for
want of blood to flow; c>o intie the
pressure for five or ten minutes nod
the ruptured vessels in the nose will by
that time probably contract so lha'
when you let the blood into them they
will not leak, Weeding from a cut or
wound anywhere about the face may b<
stopped in the same way. '1 he Crea
tor probably placed these arteries
they are that they might be controlled.
Those to the back of the head, arms
and legs are all arranged very cove
nietitly for being controlled in like
I manner. —[Ex.
