darkness, sat on her throne, the
conqueror of the any. Strange hour

not so with man. The king of day
is at the zenith of his glory when
the bridegroom of the fashionable
church wedding collies to claim his
bride at tho altar, But, Christ, the
Bridegroom, is coming at the black
hour of midnight to take to Him-
self Ms bride, the church. It is
significant. B. is declared of Jesus
upon Hie first advent into the world
that He came as Light into darkness
but "the darkness coinprehendcie it

midnight which will wrap the world
in its folds when Ho comes again.
Tim morning light may bo just
breaking in the east, awaking the
world to another clay, but if it
marks tho advent of the returning
Lord, it will ho the midnight of
the world's Pin. The sun may have
sailed majestically up the blue of the
heavens and be riding gloriously in
ite midday splendor, but if the Lord,
cotning in the chariot of the cloucts

archangel and the blimp of God."

PAINTING TETE WORLD, I
Indian Legend of the Way Spring
Canso Into Existence.
Once, long before there were men
in the world, all tile earth was cov-
ered with snow and ice,
White and frozen lay the rivers
and the seas; Mete and froven lay
the plains, The inetintains stoocl
tall am! dead, like ghosts in white
gowns. There was no, color except
while in all the world except in the
sky, and it was ehnost black. At
night the stars looked through it
lilco angry eyes.
Then Clod sent the spring down in-
to the world - the spring with red
Hee and curling yellow hair.
ln his arms lie bore sprays of ap-
ple blossoms and the first flowers -
Teets, anemones and violets red
pink, blue, purple, violet anti yel-
low.
The first animal to greet the spring
was the wbito rabbit, The spring
droppe(1 a red crocus on his head,
ancl ever since then all the white
rabbits have rod eyes.
Then the spring dropped a blue
violet on a white bird, the Mist
bird to greet the spring, and that
is the way the bluebird was made.
Ever since then it is the Ilrst bird
to arrivo when the spring 0011108
(101011 11'0111 heaven. ,
So the spring went through the
world. Wherever he tossed the
leaves from bis fragrant burden, the
earth became green. Ile tossee tho
blossems on the frozen 50115 1111d the
ice melted and the fish beceme paint-
ed with all the tint of his flowers.
That is the way the trout and the
'minnows alit 80101011 became gau'cly.
Only tlie high mountains would not
bow to the spring, So their SUM -
mite remain white and dead, for
they would lot the spring paint, only
their sides.
The snow owls mid the white geese
and the polar bears fled from the 1
spring, so they, too, remain white 1

;River men awl lumbermen on board
1 who well knew the nature of the
river and the dangers of their situa-
tion, said that the captain refused
to run the boat into places whore
sondy beach was visible. When the
steamer finally was run eshore it
was in such a position that escape
Minn death by burning could not be
'made to shore, as the passengers
that had not by that time jumped
overboard to their death were cut
off by lire from reaching the sballow
water under the bow of the burning
steamer. Even there they were very.
far from the shore. IIere is fin ex-
tract from the narrative given by
Mr. Hayes, who was a paesenger,
and which was published in the Mon-
treal leitness of July 1, 1857 :
'In len minutes the' flames burst
out' and filled the melon, and
broke out nn both sides. I 18115 in

occurred. I lowered myself down by
the side of the vessel, and while I
Was doing so, I saw one man trying
to get a boat off the upper deck.
Ile tolled me to his assistance. Re
loosed the ropes of the boat and
held one end and I the other. To-
gether
WE LET FIER DOWN,
slid clown the rope. l,1 less than
ten minutes the boat was under the
water with the crowd that rushed
on it ; she was prevented from sink-
ing to tho bottom by the tackle,
which hold her fast. Had the tackle
given way, the boat would have
sunk to the bottom. It also pre-
vented her being pusbed off by the
first occupants. In and about this
boat a great many lives were lost.
Parties rushed wildly toward it,
throwing themselves over the side of
the stemner. Ths heat became SO
intense thet I jumped out of the
boat into the water and swam to-
ward another boat I saw coming to
our rescue, but it shot past me and
made for the boat at the side of the
"Montreal." I swam back and got
under the boat that had come to
our assistance. There were a num-
ber of females in tho water, and
seven or eight of .them clung to me.
These were taken out one by one and
I was disentangled. The boat took
its load to the "Napoleon" and I
went with it. I was the last taken
out of the water into it. • • . The
"Montreal" was headed for the shore
about ten minutes after the alarm
was given and when the flames had
broken out in the manner I have al-
ready stated, I think she ought to
have been headed for the shore soon-
er. She. got aground in the attempt
to reach it and stuck fast nearly' as
far off the shore as she was when
the fire first broke out. I saw no
one give directions or take conunand
on board the "Montreal." Every-
thing was in utter confusion. I
think elle might have got nearer the
shore than she did with proper man-
agement, and the destruction of life
be made much less.
NOBODY SA.VEID ANYTHING
except what was ou their persons.
There was no time to look back.
The "Montreal" was barned to the
water's edge, The boilers exploded
eome time after the fire broke out.
I heard the "Montreal" had been on
fire twice previously during the
afternoon of tho sante clay ; and
that umsequenee they had a per-
son to watch. I understood the
furnaces were badly secured and wore
not properly protected by metal
sheeting. I heard this from the
captait of the "Napoleon" and
others on board the steamer. '0110
scene wee appallingly terrific on
board the "IU:ontreal, ' and on tho
"Napoleon" afterwards the scenes of
distress were most heartrending,

terror and dismay on their faces -

and many persons In intense suffer-
ing, whieh those on board tried to

500 persons on board ; about thirty
of those were cabin passengers. One
hundred and twenty -live bodice, lie-
ing and deed, were tact out of tho
water. There were sixteen dead
bodies. I onty noticed one Mon-
trealer, Mr. Leslie, of Carter &
Kerry's. I can't tell if he is saved.
