Poor Johnsen was made the butt of every- body's ridicule and even the young lady to whom he was engaged to be married ventured to poke fun at her lover's dream. Meanwhile the commenoement exercises had taken place and Johnston had been awarded the class honors as well as a gold medal for a powerful and beautiful Latin poem. He was lionized by his Mans, the acuity and townspeople; but never did a youug man receive applause with more re- serve. Ambition and hope seeraed to have a dwelling place in his heart no longer. They had been superseded by melancholy, by a hideous specter born of &dream. A few hours before his departure from the scenes of his intellectual triumphs, he called on his most intimate college friend, who did everything in hie power to revive the energy of his unfortunate visitor; going even so far as to suggest to Johnson the advieability of breaking his engagement. To this the young man would not cement, became, de- spite his fears and misgivings, he could not persuade himself that he had ;good grounds for such an action winch might, moreover, bras& the heart of the woman he loved. "Whatever else I have lost," be said to his friend, "my honor remains unsullied, and I would not wreck Julia's happiness on account of an uncertain something at which the world and even you laugh. No, Jack, we will be married on the 5th of Auguet, whatever may be the consequences." The following morning Johnson was with his parents. It is superfluous to say that they did everything in their power to over. come their eon's melancholy mood. Re list- ened to them patiently and smiled. sadly when he saw his good old mother in tears. He even went so far as to sitnu/ate a cheer- fulnese he did not feel.

His friend, Jack, who also stopped ab the home, wan shooked, and upon inquiring for the muse of his friend's ghastly appearance, learned that the hideous dream which had wrecked his happiness had again haunted him. By dint of will power he managed to suppress his anguish, 'however, and succeeded in appear- ing before the woman he Was about to marry in a seemingly happy frame of mind. , The couple chatted for awhile, discussed their prospects, ana dwelled at some length upon the joys that seemed to be before them.

WHAT ANTIQUITY TEAWIES. new the Ancients Measured Time—Change in 1800 Years. Latus remember, then, the lessons which we have learned from antiquity. We have learned reading and writing from Egypt; we have learned arithmetic from India. So much for the famous three Rs. But this is not all. If we are Egyptians whenever we read and write, and Indians whenever we do our accounts, we have only to look at our watches to see that we are Babylonians also. We must go to the British Museum to see what a cuneiform inscription is like, but it is a face, never - theles, thab every one of as carriek wane - thing like a cuneiform ineetiption in his waistcoat pocket, For why is our hour divided into sixty minutee, each minute into sixty seconds and so forth? SinipM and solely because in Babylonia there ex. Wed, by the side of the decimal system of notation, another system, the sexagesbnal, which counted by sixties. Why that num- ber should have been chosen is clear enough and it apeake well for the practical sense of Meese ancientBaberlonianmerchantee There is no number whish has so many divisore as shay. ' THE EBRO OF THE LIGRTRODBE. A. Northern Keeper's ExtraordinarY 'MVO' titalL to Duty. Far up in the great Gulf of Se. Lawrence lies the barren, rocky ieland of Anticoeti. On one of its promontories is a lighthouse. The lantern is provided with 'a mechanical appliance which flashes the light once in every minute. The keeper and his family lead a lonely life, as the island is, or was at the time of which I write, uninhabited. Twice a year a vessel visits them, bringing provisions and all things needful, and then they are left in isolation for six months. A number of years ago, shortly after the semi annual visit of the steamer, the keeper disooverecl that a heavy gale ha i oomewhat damaged the lantern, and had broken the apparatus for flashing the light. He re- paired the lantern. but the broken mechinery was beyond his skill. "it hab was to be done? Tne sailors would expect to see the flash- light, and -to miss it would be about an bad ae to have no light at all. My hero found that he could flash the light by operating the mechanism with his thumb and fitment, and every night thereafter till the relief ship arrived he sat by the lantern and flashed the light. The Winter was unusually long and severe, there was sickness in his family, and the keeper's hours of rest were few, but night after hight, regardless of cramped fingers and aching =soles he kept the great light flushing with machine -like regularity. I call this more than devotion to duty. It touches the heights of heroism. His Abused Confidence, A New York fleet owner advertised as usual that he would rent only to people who haat no children. His fiets were soon filled, awl he oongre.tulteed himself that no ohildiah voices were to be heard be the halls. One day a few weeks later he came around to colleob the rent, and nearly dropped dead -when he found that two „families had been blessed with triplets, four with twin, and seven with single babies. He has lost all confidence in the human race, and now goes about with lowered head, as Omen who has been deep. ly wronged.—(Peck's Sun.

Each parasang or hour was subdi- vided into sixty minutes. A para,sang is about a German mile, and Babylonian as- tronomers compared the progress() made by the stua during one hour ab the time of the egminox to the progress made by a good walker daring the same time, both accom- plishing the parasaug. The whole course of Om son during the twenty-four equinoctial hears was fixed at twenty-four parasangs or 720 stadia, or 360 degteen This system was handed on to the Greeks, and Rippers:thus the great Greek philosopher, who lived about 150 E. C. introduced the Babylonian our into Europa. P tolemy, who wrote about 150.4. D., and whose name still liveit in that of the Ptolenutiosystene of astronomy, gave still wider currency to the Babylonian way of reckoning time. It was carried along on the quiet stream of traditional knowledge through the Middle Ages, and, strange to say, it sailed down safely over tho Niagara of the Freneh Revolution. For the French, when revolutionizing weights, measures, coins and -dates, and subjecting all to the decimal system of reckoning, were in- duced by some unexplained motive to :roe - peat our cloaks and watchee, and allowed our dials to remain sexagoaimal, that is Babylonian, eath hour consisting of sixt; minutes. Here you see amain the wonderful coherence of the world, and how what we call knowledge Is the result of an unbroken tradition of a. teaching deimending from father to son.
