"Wish me joy," he said, and turned,
With the laughter in his eyes;
"Mary, I have won a wife,
And my choice you must approv-."
All my cheek and forehead burned,
With a feelinf, not surprise;
And I felt that Death in Lile,
Was the ending of my lovo.
"Slim she is, and like a fawn,
Wandering thro' the woodland ways;
And her voice is soft and low
As the murmur of a dove;
And the promiso of the dawn
Blushes quickly in her face;
Mary, can you wonder s6,
You, the sIster of ny love?
So I tried to speak and smile,
Taking both hs hands in mine;
Saying he was worthy hor
Words that seemed to burn antd choke.
From my breaking heart the while
Toro the hopes that clasp and twine
Then with all my pulso astir.
And my brain on fire-I woko!
It.
"Wish me well," he said, and gaze:i,
All his soul into my eyes;
"Mary, I would win a wite,
Do you caro to listen who?"
As for me I stoe'i amazed,
In a sort of glad surprise;
And tho secret of my life
Blossomed into beauty now.
"Tallatd stately doth she go
Liko a queen through woodland ways;
And her voice is sweet and clear
As a matrd nightingale's.
Tell me, Mary, do you know
Hler, whom I would fitly praise;
But when I have called her dear,
]PP no other word avails?"
A&! the autumn woodland semed
To awake in summer glow;
As, with blush on chock and brow,
I confessed him dear to me.
When I told him what I dreamed,
He made answer, laughing low:
"Did they never toll you how
Dreams always contrary go?"

Theologians were horrified when first
Informed that our planet was a sphere.
The question of antipodes exercised them
for a long time, most of them pimring
ridicule on the idea that men coul exist.
with their feet turned toward us, and
with their heads pointing downward. [
think it is Sir George Airy who refers to
the case of an over-curious individu,l
asking what we should see if we went to
the edge of the world and looked over.
That the earth was a flat surface on which
the sky rested, was the belief entertined
by the founders of all our great religious
systems. Even liberal Protestant the o
logians stigmatized the Copernican the
ory as being '' built on fallible pheno
mona and advanced by many arbitrary
assumptions against evidel t testilmonies
of 'cripture." Newton finally placed
his intellectual crowbar beneath these
ancient notions, and heaved them ints
irretrievablo ruin. Then it was that
penetrating mlinds, sooing the nature of
the change wrought by the now astron
omy in our conceptioi.'' of the universe,
also discovered the dift ulty, if not t he
impossibility, of t,cceptil, literaUy the
Mosaic account of creation. They did
not reject it., but they assigned to it a
meaning entirely now. Dr. Samuel Clark,
who was tho personal friend of Nowtt
and a supporter of his theory, threw out
the idea that "possibly the six days of
creation might be a typical rep'esinta
tion of greater periods." Clark's eon
temporary, I)r. Thomas Burnet., wr oto
with decision in the saute strain. Tho
Sabbath being regarded as i shadow or
typo of that heavenly repose which the
righteous will enjoy whent this world has
passed away, ''so t'heso six lays of cren
tion are so many pieriods or mnillenniums
for which the world and the toils and
labors of our present state are destined
to endure." Tihe Mosaic account was
thus reduced to a poetic myth-a viow
which afterward found expre'ssion in the
vast revelries of Hugh Miller. lint if
this symbolic interpretation, which is
now generally accepted, be the tine one,
what becomes of the Sabbath (lay?' 10
is ahsolutely withoutt ecclesiast ieal mtean
ing and the man wvho was executedi for
gathering sticks on that (lay must lhe
regarded as the victim of a 'rude legal
rendering of a religious epic. Thiere are
many minor ofihoots of discussion f rom
the great central controversy Bishtop
Hlorsely has defined a (lay ''as consisting
of one evening and one morning, or, as
the Hebrew words lite'al ly iimpor't, o
the decay of light and the return of it."
But what then, it was asked, becomes oIf
the Sabbath in the Arctic regionR, where
light takes six months to "'decay'' and as
long to "return ?" ])ifTerences of longi
tutdo, moreover, render the observances
of the Sabbath at the same hours im
possible. To somne peoplo such questions
might app~ear trifling; to others they wvero
of the greatest import. Whether the
Sabbath should stretch from sunsttet to
sunset, or from midnight to midnight,
was also a subject of much dliscuissioni.
Voices, moreover, were heard refusing to
acknowledge the propriety (of the change
from Saturday to Sundayv, and1( the doc
trine of Seventh Day observatneo was
afterward represented by a Meet. 'The
earth's aphericity and rotationt, whi'h

A Practical Joke on the Wrong Party.
Mr. Wagon was the victim. His son
Johnny is a mischievous lad, and one
day resolved to play a trick on his broth
er. He arranged certain attachments to
that brother's bed, worked by cords run
ning to his own room, and then went o1
islung. While he was gone, his brother
was sent away to bo absent over night,
and a lot of compauy arrived at the
house. Mr. Wagon gave up his own
room to them and occupied the absent
son's bed. Johnny got home lato at
night, and wholly ignorant of this
change of arrangements, went to his
roomi, which was next to his lother'ts,
and prepared to perpetrate his designs
upon his brother.
'Tie first proceeding was a haul on a
cord which ran between the blankets and
sproad on his brother's bed, and, being
fastened at tho top, would pull the
clothes off the bed. Mr. Wagon was
('omnfortably tucked in, when suddenly
the clothes began to slip, and ho found
himself uncovered. 1to thought he
might have kicked them off, and sat up
andti took hold of the clothes to pull them
bik. Meanwhile, Johinny had 'anked
another cord which pulled1 the pil ow oft
the bed. Mr. Wagon discovered his loss
and rcalied for the pillow, and when lie
got it, the clothes went off again. Ito
wa. mutch excited at that, arni again
went aftei the clothes and again lost his
pillow.
That time the pillow went under the
hed al Mr. Wagont went after it, and
inlllediately cate out again and sworo
proldigiously, for the floor was strowin
with chestnit burrs, and he had gotton
into them. Ho resolved to scold the
chambermaid for leaving so many pins
on the floor. Once more he attempt to
get the pillow, and, ns it. was way iider,
he made a frantie (live for it, and jnst
then JTohlnny, who was shaking with
laughter, pulled the last, cord and the
whole bed eatno dlowl itpon Mr. Wagon
and jammed him up1)on the burrs.
His frantic howls broight his wife and
friends to the re(see, anit( lie was fished
out. And thei the gas was lighted and
isomebody discovered the cords rining
to Johnny's room. Mi'. Wagon at once
hastened there. The lad 'xp Ilained that

Was Joan of Are Barned at the Stake,
The Mayor of Compiegne is quite a
genius in his way. He know that the
prevailing notion was to secularizo every
thing, and consequently he invented a
rojublican manifestation in honor of
Toan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans, who
lefended Oompiegrte against the English
aId Burgundians In 1430, and was be
trayed into the hands of John of Luxem
bourg, who surrended her to the English
mon who burned her at tho stake in the
markot-place at Rouen. The ruins of the
Maidon s Tower show whore the Picardy
archer pulled the unfortunate Joan from
her war-horse, and when those who are
fond of going back to the history of other
days think of the legend and then of that
horrible statue of the Maid of Orleans at
the end of the Ruo des Pyranides in
'aris, they must deplore the fact that
the man of Picardy left no descendant
who would como forward and unhorse
the figure that surmounts tle pedestal.
M. Charles Monselet has thrown somo
doubt on the legend of Jo,an of Are hav"
ing been burned by the Englith. Ito
quotes a pan raapllh from the M rcure of
1683 announiemg that certain documents
recently discovered led to the conchlsion
that Joan of Are had been nar"rie(i, and
that, consequontly, some un11fortllnato
victim must have been sacrifiee(l in her
plaeo at Rouon. Tie documents 1on
histed of an1t attestation mnade by Ftther
Vigner, who said: '-Five years after the
judgmentof Joan of Arc, on the 20th day
of May, Joan, the Maid, visited Metz.
On tihe samto1 day her brothers called tO
seo her. 'T'hy thought she had ibeenu
burned, but wh1en they saw her they re
cognized her at ouce. ''hey took her
with them to Bo(quelon. Wi'ereon a yoc
muan named Nicollo gave her at horse, and
two other persons contributed at sword
and a plumed hat, and the said Maid
sprung very cleverly on the said horse,
sayig a multitudo of things to the yoe
mant \icolle."
'1'1 old priest wrote this history with
his own hand, and made oath as to its
sincerity before a public notary, adling
as a proof of what ie had iadvanced a
copy of the original contract of marrian;o
between " Robert des Armoises aln1 ,ltan
of Arc, otherwiso known as tho Maid of
)rleants." Compiog no has treasu ro d 11p
a faithful souvenir of tho heroine, anl
about fifteen years ago a subscriptiohn
was opened to enable the town to erovt a
statuo to 1her memory. The idea was

erd eioansing, and the attitude of the
ant under operation is one of intense
satisfaction, a perfect pictuire of muscular
surrender and ease. An ant has been
seen to kneel down before another, and
thrust forward the head under the face
of the other, and lie motionless, express

ant understood this and went to work.

No two mon in America have had more
experience with flue trotting stock, and
none arc better judges than Calvin M.
Priest, of the New York Club Stables,

Maco, of the Excelsior Stables, West
29th street, New York, the champion
douible-tean driver of tho United States.
Both of those gentlemen say, that for
painful ailments in horses, such as cuts,
Ibinses, swellings, lameness, stiffness,
St. Jacobs Oil is superior to anything
they have ever used or heard of. This
is also the oltiioll of Prof. David Ro
harge, the colobrated horse-shoor of the 1
metropolis, and thousands of stock
owners throughout the country. As a
lpain-cure for man and beast, St. Jacobs
Oil has no eqtual. Mr. Priest recites the
case of a valuablo trotter, so stiff from
rhetumatism, that ho could not move an
inch. By one, thorough application of
St. Jacols Oil at nlight, the animal was
conmpletely cured, and was fit for the
race-track the next day.
