And she believed theft letters, and after a more than usually miserable one, packed up and came back to town without a word.

She sought her bed aweary and tearfully. And then her husband stood beside her. "You brute," she hissed, "to say you are miserable."

It would only distress them almost beyond endurance to know it, and, by reflex, would distress me. I have not changed my mind materially since I wrote to you before in the same strain; now, however, I know that I gain strength some daye, but when I do go back it is beyond where I started to improve. I think the chances are very decidedly in favor of your being ableto keep me alive un- til thechange of weather toward winter. Of course there are contingencies that might arise at any timethat might carry me off very suddenly. The most probable of these is choking. Under the circumstances life is not worth the living. I am very thankful [for thankful glad was written, but scratch- ed out and thankful substituted,] to have teen spared this long, because it has enabled me to practically complete the work in which 1 took so much interest.

Under the atove cirliumatances I will be the hap- piest—the most pain I can avoid. If there is to be any extraordinary cure, such as some people believe there is to be, it will de- velop itself. 1 woad say, therefore, to you and your colleagues to make me as comfort- able as you can. If it is within God's provi- dencelrat I should go now, I am ready to obey is call without a murmur. I should prefer to go now to enduring my present suffering for a single day without hope of recovery. As I have stated, I am thankful for the providential extension of my time to enable me to continue my work. I am further thankful and in a much greater de- greethankful, becauseit has enabled me to see for myself the happy harmony which so sud- denly sprang up between those engaged, but a few short years ago in deadly conflict'. It has been an inestimable blessing to me to hear the kind expressions toward me in per- son trom all parte of our country from peo- ple of all nationalities nof all religions and of no religion; of confederates and of na tional troops alike; of eoldiers' orge,nizetions; of mechanical, scientific, religious, and other a ocieties, embrening almost every ciaz in the land. They have brought joy to my heart if they have not effected a oure. So to you and your colleagues 1 acknowledge my and peace.

If ladies can change the colour of their hair and sub- due warts, pimples, and muddy complexions by the simple remedies of the modern toilet it would be highly derogatory to the science of surgery to deny its power to change white to a black skin. The Size of Noah's Axle. The exact siza of Noah's ark has not been determined definitely, but according to Sir Isaac Newton's calculations, based on his estimate of the length of a cubit in feet and inches, the historical barge must have been 515.62 feet long, 85.94 wide, and 51.56 deep. The measured tonnage of the ark was 18,232, The Great Eastern was 680 feet long, 83 feet wide, and 53 feet deep, and she measured 28,093 tons. Although the Great Eastern was not so well proportioned as the ark, she probably had double the carrying capaoity if her coal and machinery were left out of her, because she was made out of iron, and the ark was a wooden ship. Eat, digest; read, remember; earn, save; Java and be loved, If these four rules be strictly followed, health, intelligence, wealth, and true happiness will be the result. Every practiced man knows that self- denial of a certain kind must be constantly practised in life. The small object must be foregone for the sake of the greater, the im- mediate pleasure for the sake of the remote —nay, the personal pleasure for the sake of the pleasure which is generous and symt pathetic. Itis kindness that makes life's capabilities blossom and paints them with their cheering hues and endows them with their invigorat- ing fragrance.

Iiesatless Oase. .A gentleman in the west of England, who was posseesed of large astatine, married a lady who was eupposed to be a widow, her husband having left her enemy years before, and died—it was thought—abroad. .After several years of married life, the second hus- band, as he was believed to be, dad in- te tate, and soon afterwards the lady also died. Then the brother and heir-at-law came forward and claimed the estates; and his claim being resisted, on Ilithalf of the children of the deceased, the marriage was proved to be void, by the production of the lady's husband, with whom the brother of his successor had been in communication for many e ears. The husband, it appeared, had in the first instance come back. to Eng; land in order to claim his wile; but having been met with by the unprineipled helm the latter peranaded him to make no sign, but to subsist upon a weekly allowance from him (the hein), in order that the supposed hus- band might go to his grave in the belief that re was the lawful husband of the mother of hie children; for the brother knew that no will had been made, and feared Lhat if hie elder brother—then a hopeless invalid —knew of the invalidity of his marriage, he would make a will in favour of his children and their mother. This scheme was emcees - full; the gentleman died without making a will, a neglect which is always foolish, and often wicked, The heir suenteded to his brother's estates, both reel and personal, being the sole next-of-kin as well as heirat- law ; and the poor children were left utterly destitute. Alum water is better than dear water for wetting up stove blacking, the Rocky :Mountains, has not entailed uponthe red men any physical or intellect. nal deterioration. The handful of Onondagas livinv near Synonym have doubtless deteriorated in mental and physical staanine, owing ohitilly to their frequent intermarriages. Their couaina, however, the Mohawks aul Oneidas of western Canada, among whom there re- mainsebardly an Indian of unmixed blood, are increasing in members and advancing in eiviliza.tion. Nearly half of the Cherokees, the chief netion of the Indian Territory, are half breeds. Prof. Daniel Wilson, of To- ronto, who has collected a great deal of in- formation about the Indian races, says that in some of the Canadian bands net a single pure blood Indian remains. The wild In- dians, who longest roamed our western plains and maintained their tribal organiza- tions intact, have by no means maintained the racial purity of their fathers. Mr. Lew- is H. Morgan, who has devoted much study to the Indians, estimates that the Dakotas, Chippewas, and Potowatomies have taken up enough white blood in the last two cen- turies to lighten the color of their entire tribes from one-s'xth to one -forth. To the ethnologist the most interesting product of this intermixture of races thus far has been the 12,000 half breeds of the Red River Settlements in Manitoba, who to a largo extent have kept themselves distinct in their habits and social relations both from Indians and whites, The sons of French and Scotch fathers, they surpass in physique and endurance any of the native races, and Present the phenomenon nowhere else seen of a distinct half breed tribe, the tendency among other Anglo-Amerioan hy- brids being, as time goes on, to draw nearer in blood and allegiance to the whites.

'I'10 question u hether or n 1 teee Englieh language would wholly supersede the French in Canada has been much discussed by ed- neaters in this country. The lama import- ant opinion: on the aubjeet ia that of Peen fewer Rh et, who, in an addreta before the University of New Brienewiek. maintained that the hope of doing away with the French language, Although the Frenciespeaking clue formed only one third ofthe population of Canada, must be abandonee fwever and that the fact of there being two hoe guagea in Canada must oe distinctly reeog- nized. He said this was due to the rapid inereue of the French dement and to its in- fluence in all coda!, commerced, political end educational centres. The main facts with regard to the Indian, then, appeer to be that, under circumstances which the ha.rdieet white races could hardly survive, he is rapidly dying out; that under conditions which enable the whites to thrive hats increasing and prospering in a lesser degree; and that in the merge of time he is destined to disappear as the native race of America, not through extermination, but by absorption into the overwhelming mass.

THE BOOK Or GOD. The bible is the bes-r book in the world.— John Adams. There is a book worth all other books which were ever printed.—Patrick Henry. The bible furnishes the only fitting vehicle to express the thoughts that overwhelm us when contemplating the stellar universe. - 0. M, Mitchell. The grand old book of God still atanda, and this old earth, the more its leaves a turned over and pondered, the more it wil sustain and illustrate the sacred word.— Prof. Dana. All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more stronglythe truths contained in the sacred scriptures.—Sir John Herschel. In my investigation of natural science, I have always found that whenever I eattmeet with anything in the bible on my subjects, it always affords me a firm platform on which to stand.—Lieut Maury. So great is any veneration for the bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hopes that they will prove useful citizens to theirmoune try, and respectable members of society.— John Q. Adams. It is impossible to govern the world with- out God. He must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, a,nd more than wicked that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligation.—George Washington. If the God of love is most appropriately worshiped in the temple of religion, the God of nature may be equally honored in the temple of science. Even from its lofty min- arets the philosopher may eummon the faith- ful to prayer, a.nd the priest and. sage ex- change altars without the compromise of faith or knowledge.—Sir David Brewster, Never wash retains; wipe them with a dry cloth.
