What a strange thrill of joy when the palsied Chris- tian begins to use his arm again, when the blind Christian begins to see again, when the deaf Christian begins to hear again, when the poor pilgrim puts his feet on such pave- ment and joins in such company and has a free seat in such a great tem- ple I Hungry Men no more to hun- ger, thirsty men no more to thirst, weeping men no more to weep, dy- ing men no enore to die.

Refusing the truth, thea were believing a. lie (II. Tiles& 11, 10, 11) and believing that Jesus or litezareth was an impostor, they judged Ste- phen to be guilty of blaspbenty, and In stoning him they thought they were obeying their maw (Lev. =iv, 1($), while they themselves were, De- • ter° God, the blasphemers and guilty ones, but they were blinded by the god of this world (II, Cor. iv, U, 1). This is our first introduetion, to the young man named Saul, unless, as some think, he Is the same young man who went away from Jesus ono day sorrowfully because be loved his possessions. 50. "Lord Jesus, evolve my spir- it," Thus said, Stephea as they were stoning him to death, tor be knew whom he believed and saw Dim ev- en before be went out to be with Him. When our Lord Himself was dying, He said, "Isather, into Thine hands 1 con:extend My spirit." And similar words came from David by the same spirit long before (Luke radii, 46; Fs. =xi, 5), for he also dould truly say: "1 trusted in Thee, 0 Lord." "My thries are in Thy hand" (Vs. xxxi, 14, 15). These dying words ,of Stephen and of the Lord Jesus give no encouragement to the belief that between death and resurrection the spirit is asleep and unconscious; If any are not fully persuaded concerning the life and bliss of thetbeliever apart from the body, let thean read and believe Luke xvi, 22; xxiii, 43; II. Cor. v, 8; PhiL i, 21, 23; Rev. VI, 9-11. 60. "Lord, lay not this sin to their cbarge." Like his adorable Lord and Master he prayed for his murderers (Luke xxiii, 34). .• Our instructions are, “Love your en- emies; bless them that curse you ; do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you" (Matt. v, 44). And while this is impos- sible to the natural man, if any man be in Christ he is a new crea ture, born from above, a temple of the Holy Spirit, a mansion in whith the rather and the Son have come to dwell (II Cor. v, 17; 1 Cor. vi, 19, 20; John xiv, 23), and Christ in us can do what He did when here on earth in the body prepared for Him. It is our privilege to eield fully to Him and take as our motto, "Not I, but Christ" (Gal. ii, 20). viii, 1. “And Saul was consenting -unto his death." Hear his own ac- count of what he Said to the Lord Jesus long afterward. “And I said. Lord, they know. that I imprisoned arid beat in every synagogue them that believed in Thee, and when the blood of Thy martyr Stephen was shed I also was standing I,y end consenting unto his death and kept the raiment of them that slew him" (Acts xxii, 19, 20), .Before Agrip- pa he said, "I verily thought with myself that I ought to do merle things ' contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth, which thing I also did in Jerusalem" (Acte xxvi, 9, 10). And then he weet oa to tell how not only in Jeruatiern. but in other cities, being exceedingly mad againet the &Alas, he was the means of their imprisonment, pun- ishment, and death.

A really remarkable story of ani- mal perception has been contributed by Mr. Frank Bostock, who may be considered an authority on wild ani- mals in captivity. once bad a trainer, "fr. Bastock says, an old Irishraan who had serv- ed in a British regiment in India, and who knew the ways of tigers in every detail. He taught three of them to do more work in the arena than I have ever seeo done by any other tigers. I have seen him sit- ting down between two of them at rest times during rehearsals and ex- amining their'claws to see if any of them were sore or split. Any one Who has ever tried that with even a house cat knows that it strikes the feline nature as an unwarrantable familiarity; but they never did more than show their teeth and whine, and that half in playfulness. One day the old fellow got very drunk, the first time in his life, to ' my knowledge. Before he was no- ticed on his return to the cage he had gone itt with his tigers and fal- len in a heap on the floor. The other keepers made several at- tempts to take him out of the cage, but it was at once apparent that to I do so meant a bitter and bloody fight With the tigers. They guarded him all night in his drunken slum -- ben But the next time he put them to work they balked, and he could neither persuade nor drive them.

THE WRONG EXPRESSION. A certain drill -sergeant, whose se- verity had made him unpopular with his troops, was putting a party of, recruits through the funeral ser- vice. -Opening the ranks so as to admit the passage of the supposed cortege between thein, the instructor, by way of practical explanation walked slow- ly down the lane formed by the two ranks, saying as he did so "Now I'm the corpse. Pay atten- tion." Having reacbed the end of the path e he turned round regarded them steadily with a scrutinizing eye for a moment or two, then remark- ed : "Your 'ands is right, and your 'cads is right, but you haven't got that looit of regret you ought to have.'" ,There are 140 hoepitale in don.

It was in 1731 that Holland nar- rowly escaped inundation aloug its coasts because the tienbers of the sem dykes in many parts were discovered to be unsound. The timely discov- ery of the real condition of the dykes saved the country irom an awful ca- tastrophe, the full extent of which was comprehended by only a few Dutchmen. The timbers had' bole honeycombed by the tercdo, or ship worm. This creature burrows inte any wood immersed in sea. water; and digs channels along the grain of the wood, living and often dying in the timber. The worm grows, in soine localities, to a length of twelve inches, its girth being one and a half inches, and the curious thing about its whip -like body is its ten- derness.. It cannot bear its own weight; it will break if subjected to any strain. • It will burrow straight along the grain of the wood unless turned aside by a knot or rail; and no matter him many of these worms may be, burrowing in the stune piece of wood, they never run their chan- nels into one another. By some 'est. naarvellous instinct they keep clear of each other's preserves. We have recently seen a cross-section of a log eighteen inches in diameter, and we counted to fewer than 800 distinct burrows. Trati LAZY MAN'S DODGE. A very lazy man was once asked. by his wife to dig the potatoes in the garden. He consented, and, after digging for a few minutes, went into the house and said he had found a coin. He washed it off and it proved to be a fifty cent piece. He put it in hie pocket and went back to work. Presently he went to the house again and said he had found another coin. He washed the dirt off it, and this time it was a twenty-five• cent piece. He put it in his pocket. "I have worked pretty hard," said he to his wife; “I think I'll take it ehort nap." When he awoke he found that his wife had dug all the rest; of the po- tatoes. But she found no coins 11 then dawned upon her that she lied s been -worked." --L NOTHING EFT.
