They may not have lost their integrity. but they have beooine so worldly and so selfish -under the influence of large success that it is evident to everybody that their euo- cess has been a temporal calamity and an eternal :damage. Concerning many people it may be said it seems as if it would have been better if they could have embarked from this life at `20 or 80 years of age. Do you know the reason why the vast majority of people die before 80? It is because they have not the moral endur- anoe or that which is beyond the 80 and a merciful God will not allow them to be put to the fearful strain. Again, there isea blessing in an ab- breviated earthly existence in the fact that one is the sooner taken off the de- fensive. As soon as one is old enough to take care of himself he it put on his guard. Bolts on the doors to keep out the robbers. Fireproof safes to keep off the flames. Life insurance and fire insur- ance against dcoident. Receipts lest you have to pay ga debt twice. Lifeboat against shipwreck. Westinghouse air - brake against railroad collision and hun- dreds of hands ready to overreach you and take all you have. Defense against cold, defense against beat, defense against sickness, defense against the world's abuse, defense all the way down to the grave, and even the tombstone sometimes is not a sufficient barricade. If a soldier who bas been on guard, - shivering and stung with the cold, pac- ing u.p and down the parapet with shouldered musket, is glad when some one comes to relieve guard. and he can go inside the fortress, ought not that man to shout for joy who can put down his weapon• of earthly defense. and go into the king's castle? Who is the more fortunate, the .soldier who has to stand guard 12 hours or the man who has to stand guard six hours? Wehavecommon sense about everything but religion, com- mon sense about everything but trans- ference from this world. Many Bereavements Escaped. not agnostics. lity and the eternal residence of the righteous in hea- ven, and therefore I first i emark that an abbreviated earthly exis once is to be desired and is a blessing b pause it makes one's life work very comp ct. Some men go to business at 7 o'clock in the morning and retu at 7 in the evening. Others go at 8 .'clock and re- turn at 12. ` Others go a 10 and return at 4. I have friends who are ten hours a day in business, other who are five hours, others who are on hour. They all do their work well. The do their entire work and then they ret . Which posi- tion do you think the most desirable? You say, other things b ing equal, the man who is the shorter time detained in business and who tan return home the quickest is the most tossed. Now, my -friends, why i not carry that good sense into the sub'eet of transfer- ence from this world? I a person die in childhood, he gets throw§ h his work at 9 o'clock in the morning. If he die at 45 years of age, he gets though his work at 12 o'clock noon. Ifa die at 70 years of age, he gets through his work at 5 o'clock in the afternoo If he die at 90, he bas to toil all the way on up to 11 o'clock at night. Th sooner we get through our work the le tter. The har- vest all in barrack or barn the farmer docs not sit down in he stubble field; but, shouldering his se the and taking his pitcher from under he tree he makes a straight line for the old homestead. All wewantto be anxous about is to get oar work done an well done, and the quicker the better. Saved From the Cyclone, Perhaps. Again, there is a leasing in an ab- breviated earthlyexis nee in the fact that moral disaster mfgt come upon the man if he tarried. Ion er. Recently a man who had been pro anent in church- es. and who bad been admired for his generosity and kindnes everywhere, for forgery was sent to sta a ,prison for 15 years. Twenty years ago there was no more prob€ibility of tha man's commit- ting a coitianercial dishonesty than that you will commit commrcial dishonesty: The number of men who fall into ruin between 50 and 70 year of age is simply appalling. If they had died 80 years before, it would have been better for them and better for th it families. The shorter the voyage the less :-chance for a cyclone. There is a wrong theory abroad that if one's youth be right C his old age will be right. You might as well say there is nothing wanting fes a ship's safety except to get it fully launched on the Atlantic ocean. I hay sometizpes asked those who -were scho.i is ates or college mates of some great defaulter: "What kind of a boy was he? What kind of a young man was he?' And they have said: "Why, he was a splendid fellow.. I had no idea he could ever go into shah an outrage."

The Ringer we live the mat, attachments apd the more kindred, the more chords to be wounded or rasped or sundered. If a man live on to 70 or 80 years of age. how many graves are cleft at his feet! In that long reach of time father and mo- ther go, brothers and sisters go, children go, grandchildren go, personal friends, outside the family Circle whom they had loved with a love like that of David and Jonathan. Besides that, some men have a natural trepidation about dissolution and ever and anon during 40 or 60 or 60 years, this horror of their dissolution shudders through soul -and body. Now, suppose the lad goes at 16 years of age? He escapee F-50 funerals, 50 caskets: 50 obsequies, 50 awful wrenchings of the heart. It is hard enough for us to bear their departure, but is it not easier for us to bear their departure than for them to stay -and bear 50 departures? Shall we not by the grace of God rouse ourselves into a generosity of bereavement• which will practically say, "It is hard enough for me to go through this bereaVement, but how glad I am that he will never have to go through it." So 41. reason with myself, and so you wfll find it help- ful to reason with yourselves. David lost his son. Though David was king, he lay on the earth mourning and inconsolable for some time. At this distance time, which do you really think was the one to be congratulated, the short lived child or the long lived father? Had David died as early as that child died he would, in the first place, have escaped that pa,rticu.- lar bereavement, then he would have. es ed. the worse. bereavement of Absa• lo his recreant son, and the pursuit of the 'Philistines, and the fatigues of his military campaigp, and the jealousy of Saul, and the perfidy of Ahithophel, and the curse of Shims!, and the destruction of his family at Ziklag, and, above all, he would have escaped the two great calamities of his life, the great sins of uncleanness and murder. David lived to be of vast use to the church and the world, but so far as his own happiness was concerned, does it not seem to you that it would have been better for him to have gone early? Now„ this, my friends, explains some things that to you have been inexplice able. This shows you why when God takes little children from a household he is very apt to take the brightest, the most genial, the- most sympathetic, the most talented. Why? It is because that kind of nature suffers the most when it does suffer and IA most liable to tempta- tion. God saw the tempest sweeping. up from the Caribbean and he put the deli- cate craft into the first harbor.

"Aut," I say, "it is so much brighter and more beautiful, in the gallery; you had better go in." "No," they say, "we know exactly how it is out here, but we don't know exactly how it is inside."

How glad we ought to feel that they will neVer haV'e to go through the struggles which we have had to go through! They had just time enough to get rt of the cradle and run upon the spri gtime bills of this world aud nee how it looked, and then they started for a better stopping place. They were like ships that put in at St. Helena, staying .there long enough to let passengers go _ up and see the barracke of Napoleon's captivity, and then heist sail for the port of their own native land. They only took this world in transit. It is hard for us, but it is blessed for them. And if the spirit of this serrnon is true, then we ought not to go around sighing and groaning when another year is going, but w.e ought to go down on one knee by the milestone and see the letters and thank God that we are 865 miles nearer home. We ought not to go around with morbid, feelings about our health or about anticipated' demise. We ought to be living.not acookding to that old maxim which I used to bear in My boyhood that you must live as though evere day were the last; you must live as though you were to live forever, for you will. Do not be nervous lest you have to move out of a shanty into an Alham bra. One Christmas day I witnessed some- thing very thrillina. We had just dis- tributed the famify presents Christmas morning, when `1 heard a great cry of distress in the hallway. A child from a neighbor's house came in to say her father was dead. It was only three doors off, aod I think in two minutes we -were there. There lay ihe'old Christian sea captain, his face upturned- toward the window, as though he had suddenly seen the headlands and. with an illumin- ated countenance, as though he were just going into harbor. The fact was he had already got through the -Narrows. In the adjoining room were the Christ- mas presents waiting for his distribu- tion. Long ago, one night when he had narrowly escaped with his ship from be- ing run down by a great ocean steamer. he had made his peace with God,' and a kinder neighbor or a better mitn than Captain Pendleton Jou would not find this side of heaven. Without a moment's warning, the pilot of the heavenly har- bor had.met him just off the lightship. NOYEMVMBER 5, 189 7.

Stamp Battery Gold Slimes. From the "Proceedings of the Chemi- cal and Metallurgical Society of South Africa" for July last it appears that, after many fruitless attempts, the treat- ment of stamp battery slimes frog( gold ores has nay been Mastered a,nd.is stead- ily going on in eeveral works in South Africa. Formerly the excessi.vely finely crushed portion of the battery thilings, amounting to some 80 per cent. of the whole, was perforce allowed to run waste. though theoretically worth nearly 21. per The slimes are now aggolmerated -and, precipitated from the water in which they are suspended by the. addition of nine water, and are then treated by agi- tation with very, dilute solutions of cyanide (containiog .01 per cent. or less of available KCy) and washed by settling and decantation, the gold being deposited by electrolytic aotiontunder the Siemens - Basket system. This. process has'been running for over 12 inonths at the Crown Reef works, and is bow costing about 3s. 9d. per ton, including royalty and management. The extraction is 83 per cent., and the net profit. about 10s. per ton, or a130 per day. The freshlytformed slimes in course of treatinent at these works, yield their gold to 'cyanide, read- ily enough, hut it is otherwise with accumulated slimes, in which oxtdation of he pyrites has taken pace. Here the presence of finely divided ferrous.sulphide and hydrate absolutely prevents the dis- solution of the gold by withdrawing the free oxygen from the solution. W. Calde- cott has discovered that by. the eupply of oxygen artificially this difficulty is cheaply and effectively overcome, and that jets of air, moreover, foem the best means of agitation. Potassium perman- ganate is alie used as an oxidizer. The oxidation add destruction- of cyanide by air, long regarded as preveneing its use for agitating cynide solutioni and pro- moting their solvent, action, is not exces-e sive in presence of ferrous sulphide. - Nature.

Again, my friends, there is a blessing in an abbreviated earthly existence in the fact•that it puts one sooner in the center of things. All astronomers, in- fidel as well as Christian, agree in be- lieving that the universe swings around some great center. Any one wife has studied the earth and° studied the hea- vens knows that God's favorite figure in geometry is a circle. When God_put forth bi hand to create the universe, he did not strike that hand at right angles, but he waved it in a circle, and kept on waving in a circle until systems and constellations and galaxies and all werlds too& that motion. Our planet swinging around the sun, other planets swinging around other suns, but somewhere a_ great hub, around which the great wheel of the universe turns. Now the ce.nter is heaven. That is the capital of the uni- verse; that is the great metropolis of an - Does not our contmon sense tea -ch us that in matters of study it is better for us to move out from the center toward the circumference rather than to'be on the circumference, where our world now is? We are like those who study the American continent while standing on the Atlantic beach. The way to study the continent is to cross it or go to the ,heart of it. Our standpoint in this world is defective We are at the wrong end of the telescope. The best way to study a piece of machinery is not to stand on the doorstep and try to look in, but to go in with the engineer and take our place rtght amid the saws and the cylinders. We wear our eyes out and our bradn out film the fact that we are studying un- det suoh great disadvantage. Millions of dollars for observatories to study things about the moon, about the sun, about the rings of Saturn, about transits and occultations and eclipses, simply because our studio, our observatory is poorly situated. We are down in the cellar try- ing to study the palace of the universe while our departed Christian friends have gone upstairs ainid the skyllghts to atudy. Now, when one can sooner get to the center of things, is he not to be con- gratulated? Who wants to be always in the fresieman class? We study God in this world by the Biblical photograph of him, but we all know we can in five Minutes of interview with a friend get mere accurate idea of him titan we can by studying him fer 50 yeah through pictures or words. The little child that' died last night knows more of Ood than all Andover, and all Princeton, and all New )3rianswick, and all Edinbur h, and A Bride's Sensible Trousseau. Isabel A. Mallon writes of "A Bride's Moderate Trousseau" in the Ladies' Houle Journal. "The girl who has a fortune at her command needs no sug- gestions," she says;e"but the girl who has to think out the wisdom of every dollar spent on her trousseau is the one who asks for advice. Taking it for granted, then, that you will live a more or less social life, having your day at Ileum and visiting your friends, and go- ing -occasionally to hear good music, you can decide exactly what you will need. Fleet of all, freshen all the_ gowns you possess; then you know their possibilities, then I would advise one handsome silk dress, comhined, perhaps, with velvea and having, to -go with it, two bodices -one for wear when you are visiting, the other to be need when rather more elaborate dress is recinired. Have one simple, but smart -looking, wool dress for street wear; if required, you might better omit your visiting costume than this. A black shirt, either of moire, silk or satin, will be useful, since.with it there can bp worn any number of elabor- ate bodices.' Then you will want, also, a comfortable wrapper, to Wear in no place except in your own, room; two pretty, well -fitting, 'ruse dreseei; a coat suited to the season; a wrap that is a little more elaborate, if you can afford it; but do not itake the mistake, so often made, of buying clothes that are not suited to your position in life, or, what is equally as bad, of buying such an elaborate wardrobe that it will go out of fashion." The Old Sea Captain's Story. He had often talked to me of the goodness of God, and especially of a time when he evas about -to enter New Yak harbor with his ship from Liverpool, and he was suddenly impressed that he ought to put back to sea, 'Under the protest of the crew and under their very threat he put baok to sea,1 fearing at the same time be was losing his mind, for it did seem so unreasonable that when they could get into harbor that night they should put back to sea. But they put' baek to sea, and Captain Pendleton.said to his mate, "Yon call me at 10 o'clock at night." At 12 o'elock at night the captain was aroused and- said: "What -does this mean? I thought 'I told you to call me at 10 o'olock, and here it 12?" at 10 o'clock, and you got up, ooked around ana told me to keep. right On ttie same course for two houra end t'ulin to call you at•12 o'clock." Said tho cap- tain: "Is it possible? I hair° no remem- brance of that." , • At 12 o'clook the captain went on deck, and through the rift of a cloud the 'moonlight fell upon the sea and, showed him a shipwreck with 100 steuggling pasiengers. He helped them off. Had he been any earlier or any later at that point of the sea he would have been of no service to those drowning peopte. On board the captain's vessel they began to band together as to what they should pay for the rescue and what they eihould pay for the provisions. "Ah," says the captain, "my :lads, you can't pay tete anything. All I have on board is yoUre. I feel too greatly honored ot God in hav- ing saved you to take •any pay." Juet like him. He never got any pay except that of his own applauding conscience. Oh, that the old sea ca•ptain's God might be my God and yours! Amid ehe stormy seas of this -life may we have always some one as tenderly to take care of .us as eehe captain took care of the drowning crew and the pitesengers.

We dreara Of things we ought to do; but when we 'comp to work them out, our clumsy eands cannot put them into realizations. - 'We have glimmerings of a love that is very rich and tender, without trace of selfishness, without envy or jealousy, without resentment, We strive to be sweet -spirited, unselfish, thoughtful, .but we must wet our pillow with tears at the close of our married days because we cannot be what we strive to be.

Next morning Wellington was convers ing with General Bowles when a staff officer drew up, his horse flecked with, foam, and whispered the news of Ligny. 'Without a change of countenance, the commander said to his companion: "Old Blucher has had a -- good licking, and gone hack to Wavre, eighteen miles. As lie has gone back, we must go, too. I mariposa in England they will • say we have been licked. I can't help it; as they have gone back, we must go, too." • -There was a very happy social event at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Elliott, of Turnberry, on Wednesday of last week, when Miss Annie Maud He.rdaker, of Hills - burg, became Mrs. Samuel Elliott. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. James Hamilton, of Wingham. The bride, who was beautifall attired in a pale cream cash- mere dress, trimmed with silk and pearl trimmings, was attended by Miss Mary E. Elliott, while Mr. Elmer McKee, of Wing- ] am, supported the bridegroom. After the ceremony a sumptuous dinner was served, and the evening enjoyablY spent.
