'Id. but death Is Inevitable, and what provision
vp you made for your wife and little ones in

nihi's every hearthstone. If you are u lawyer,
fliysician, merchant or farmer, your profession

cli as to exclude women from tho chance of
faking a living, in fact she doos good work to

liances of being left destitute. The best thing
iat can be done, and often the only thins that
an oe done, Is to effect an insuriuicu on your

That you and your love were plighted;
But couldn't you bo my friend T
Couldn't we sit In the twilight,
Couldn't we walk on the shore,
With only a pleasant friendship
To bind us-and nothing more ?
Thero was never a word of nonsense
Spoken between us two,
Though we lingered oft In the garden
Till tho roses wero wet with dew.
We touched on a thousand subjects-
The moon and the stars above
Butour talks were tinted with science,
With never a hint of love.
"A wholly Plaiitonlc friendship,"
You said I had proved to you,
"Could bind a man and a woman
Tho whole long season through,
With never a thought of folly,
Though both are In their youth."
What would you have said, uiy lady,
If you had but known the truth?
Had I done what my mini heart prompted
(Juno down on my knees to you
And told you uiy passionate story,
Hidden and hushed so long,
My story of hopeless loving
Say, would you have thought It wrong?
But I fought with my heart and conquered
I hid my wound from sight ;
You were going awuy In the meriting,
And I said a calm good night ;

Or wncn I walk by tho sea,

Comes surging over mo ;
And a passionate longing tills mo

Tho religious world has been recent
ly agitated by a determination on the
part of theologians to square off und
light for the religion ot their fathers.
Some think it argues great pluck for a
man to assail the ltiblo and the church
and set up a new religion. Tho fact
is, it requires no courage at all to do so,
tor he is always sure of the favor aud
applause of a multitude who hato the
iible ami would be irlaiJ to see it

FINDING OF TIIE ANCIENT VESSEL IN
GLACIER ON MOUNT A It A It AT.
A Constantinople contemporary an
nounces tho discovery of Noah's art.
It appears that some Turkish commis
sioners appointed to investigate the
question of avalanches on Mount Ara
rat suddenly came upon a gigantic
structure ot very dark wood' protru
ding from a glacier. They made in
quiries of tho inhabitants (Q' 1,125 in
their report.) Theso had seen it for
six years, but had been afraid to ap
proach it because, a spirit of fici-co as
pect had been seen looking nut of the
upper window. Turkish commission ers,
however, uro bold men, not de
terred by such trifles, and they deter
mined to reach it. Situated as it was
anion;,' tho fastnesses of one of tlie
glens of Mount Ararat it was 'a work
of enormous difficulty, and it was only
after incredible hardships that they
succeeded. Tho ark. one will bo triad
to hear, Was in a good state of preser
vation, alt hough the angles observe,
not tho bow or stern had boon a
good deal broke in its descent. They
recognized it at once. There was an
Englishman among them who had pre
umaoiy read Ins iiiulc, ami he saw
it was made of tho ancient tronher
wood of Scripture, which, as every one
knows, only grows on tho plains ol
Euphrates. ElTccting an entrance into
tho structure, which was painted
brown, they found that the admiralty
requirements for the conveyance l
horses had been carried out, and the
interior was divided into partitions
fifteen feet high. Into three of these
only could they gt, the others being
full of ice, and how far lite ark exten
tied into the glacier they could not tell.
However, on being uncovered it
turns out to bo 300 cubits long it will
go hard with the disbelievers in the
book of Genesis, "Needless to saw"
ays the Tall Mall Gazette, "an Amer
ican was soon on the spot, and nego
tiations have been entered into with
tlie local pacha for its speedy trausfei
to tho United Stales."
Each head ot clover contains about sixty dis
tinct flower tubes, each of which cojtalns a
portlou of sugar not exceeding the five-liun-dredth
part of a grain. Tho proboscis of the
bees must therefore be luscrtcd Into 500 clover
tuoes before one grain of sugar can be obtained.
There are 7,000 grains In a pound, and as homy
contains three-fourths of Its we'ght of dry
sugar, tach pound of honey represents 3,500
000 clover tubes sucked by bees.
An Iowa family gave a tramp a dinner, and
the tramp gave the family the smallpox. Don't
blame the poor man. Perhaps that was all be
hid to give.
