a lady pasted by, “My wife hae tak

when “bang*” were in vogue, they
couldn't be beat tor ugliness. It pm
me to tey 'row’s end’ to go with bar
to ohorch. But since she’s got to wear

qmt going to church; of Bandays I
take my meals at a restaurant. Bhe
went into an agreement with me, that
she would not wsar it tbroagh the

Things That Last.
Let ns now look at soma of those
things that “will nsrer wsar eat."
I have often heard a poor blind girl
eweatly aing, Kind words will nsver
die. Ab! we believe that these are
among the things that will never Wear
oat. And we are told in God’s own
book to be kind one to another, tender
hearted, forgiving one another.
The word of the Lord will never
wear out. Though the grass shall
wither and flowers fall away, the
word of the Lord ondureth forever. 1
Peter i: 24.25.
The life of the righteous will never
wear out. They will live in the world
to come aa long as ood shell live; hot
the death of the nicked will laat for
ever.
The joys of the kingdom of Heaven
will never wear oat. The pleasures of
this world soon die; hnt the enjoy
ments of that world will never end.
The new song will never wsar out.
We hear sometimes that soma of onr
tunes are worn threadbare; bnt that
will never be said of the new song.
Whieh will yon chose? The last
ing, or that which wastes away?— the
things of time, or of erernity? Will
you chose wealth, honor, fame, or the
joys of Heaysn, eternal lire, the frown
of glory, and the Hew song? May
ood enable ns to mnke a wise choice;
and, with Joshua, may we ch >se to
serve h- Lud —[Ch'-is'-Un Treasury .
A novel speotro telegraphic appsr t
us has been construe e<f by Dr Psqi
la Gour, a Danish physicist. It pro
jects a steady veitiiul spectrum, on
which, with a special telesci pe, ltd
aid blue data and line* are seen io <p
pftr and disappear. These are Morse
eignale, produced by tie breaking of
the speotrnm by ‘he opening and abut
ting cf little slits, displaying the col
ored dots and lines. 'hie is effected
by an eleetrical engagement having
lettered and numbered keys.
The Isthmus of Gonnth Canal is go
ing ahead satisfactorily in the route
mapped out about 1,800 years ago by
the Emperor Nero. It will be about
four miles long and nearly twenty
seven feet deep. It is expected that
ships will be able to pass through it at
tbe rate of six miles per hour. The
soil is so shifty that it will be necessa
ry to protect the banks with masonry
tor a distaace of two miles.
The Andaman islander*} share al
most the entire surface of tbe soalp as
thoroughly as tha imperfect imple
ments at their command will allow
them. Formerly they used chips of
broken flat for this parpose, bat since
tbe arrival of Europeans upon their
islands they oan indulge in the luxury
of a shave with a pitce of brokan bot
tle glass. It is said that a wife takes
a peculiar pleasure in shaving tbe
head of her husband.
It may safely be stated that one
drummer in ten likes his situation. Af
ter the novelty of the life wears off, an
intense loathing of the “road” grows
upon him. There is something utter
ly repugnant to the average man in
being obliged to hurry from place to
place as if driven by an antique fury.
To a married man it is especially so,
and therefore, most drummers are
yonng and single.
Genius is a dazzling talent, bnt it
won’t plod. Talent iB forced to plod
or get left, and so with tho instinct of
self preservation it generally plods.
Gsuins starts oat a petted darling aad
ends by dodging the bailiffs end dying
in the poor house, while talent rlists a
monument in its honor ani pays tha
bill out of its well filltd pocket.
The “silent Ten Moltke” isn't at
all silent at koms. He is, on tbs con
trary, a oharminj, lively and aimiable
companion. Hi is rery fond efthe
wife of bis nspbtw, who presides over
his household, and of her children.
He loves whist >nd roses, and of these
flowers snltivatfc a great variety.
