CHATEAUBRIAND’'S GRAVE.
The Great Frenchman Buried on the Lone«
Iy Rock Where He Was Born.
Chateaubriand, the famous French
author who, after dining with Wash-

buried at the actual spot where he
ever laid in a stranger resting place.
It is on a jutting point of rock in a
lonely, exposed position.
and mother of the Vicomte Chateau-
briand were on board a vesse: bound
for St. Malo. It was night when
they neared the coast, and a terrific
storm was raging. No boat could
venture to the assistance of the
crew, and the vessel was wrecked
upon a rock not far from the shore.
The mother of Chateaubriand passed

chased the rock and built upon it the
tomb in which he now lies,
It Worked Well,
A red.-nosed man, with shabby
clothes, stopped before the row of
seats under the big weeping willow
near the bridge in the public garden
the other afternoon, says the Boston
Journal. The seats were mostly oc-
cupied by women and children.
Bending down opposite a. bright-
looking little girl, the red-nosed man
sald smilingly:
“I wish 1 had a nickel for you,
little one. You would like a ride on
the swan boats, wouldn't you, dear?”
“Yes, sir,” replied the child, look-
ing up timidly.
“1 Knew you did, my child, and
I only had a nickel
it."
“La! hear that old bum talk,”
claimed a woman sitting near.
“If he an’t got a nickel why don't
he shut up and move on,” remarked
another woman,
The red-nosed man pretended not
to hear these remarks, and presently
addressed the little girl again:
“You remind me so much of one of
my own little ones at home. If 1

The newspapers have been called

certain worthy clergyman found it

He had taught an old man in his

pupil. After his lessons were fin-

some time and when he did, only

| There is in our English language an small
i conjunction which, I propose, by God's help,
to haul out of its present insignificancy and
set upon the throne where it belongs, and
that is the conjunation “i.” Though made
of only two letters, it is the pivot on whish
everything turns, All time and all eterpity
are at its disposal. We slur it in our utter.
ance, we ignore it in our appreciation, and
| none of us recognize it as the most tremen-
| dous word in all the voeabulary outside of
those words which describe deity,
“I!” Why, that word we take as a tramp
among words, now appearing here, BOW ap-
pearing there, but having no value of its
own, when it really has a millionairedom of
worlds, and in its train walk all planetary,
stellar, lunar, solar destinies, If the boat of
leaves made watertight, in which the infant
have led Israel out of Egypt? If the Red
Sea had not parted for the escape of one
host and then come together for the sub.
| mergence of another, would the book of
| Exodus ever have been written? If the ship
| on which Columbus sailed for America had
gone down in an Atlantie eyelone, how much
longer would it have taken for the discov-
. ery of this continent?
i If Grouchy had come up with reinforce-
{ ments in time to give the Freach the victory
| at Waterloo, what would have been the [late
! of Europe? IftheSpanish Armada had not
been wrecked off the coast, how different
would have been many chapters in English
history! If the battle of Hastings or the
battle of Pultowa, or the battle of Valmy, or
the baitle of Mataurus, or the battle Ar-
bela, or the battle of Chalons, each one of
which turned the world's destiny, had been
decided the other way!
If Shakespeare had never been born for

for musie, or Titian had never been born for

never been born for slogquence, Boerates
had never been born for philosophy, or
Blackstone had never been born for the law,
or Copernicus bad nuever heen born for as-
tronomy. or Luther had never been born for
the reformation !
Oh, that conjunction “if!” How much has
depended on it! The height of ir, the depth
of it, the length of it, the breadth of it, the
immensity of it, the infinity of it-—-who can
measure? It would swamp anything but
omnipotence, But I must confine myself to-
lay to the “ifs” of the Bible, and in doing so
I shall speak of the “if” of overpowering

After three years of absence a son wrote

n fearful storm struck it and dashed the ship
on the rocks that night, All that night the

“My mother prayed me home!”
Another Bible “if” is the “it” of incredu-
lity. Satan used it when Christ's vitality
was depressad by forty days’ abstinence from
food, andthe tempter pointed to some stones,
in color and shape lke loaves of bread, and
sald, “If thou bw the Son of God, com-
mand that these stones be made bread.”
That was appropriate, for Ratan is the father
of that "if" of ineredulity. Poter used the
same “i” when, standing op the wet and
slip deck of a fishing smack off Lake
Galilee, he saw Christ walking on the sea as
though it were as solid ax a pavement of
t from the adjoin voleanie hills, and
Peter cried, “If it be , lot me come to

Most Peraicious of Winds,
The most pernicious winds are the
samiecls or hot winds of Egypt. They
come from the deserts to the south-
west, and bring with them infinite
quantities of fine dust, which pene-
trates even the minutest crevice, The
thermometer often rises to 120 during
their continuance, and thousands ol
human beings have been known to
parish from suffocation in the fiery
blast. It was one of those samiels that
destroyed the army of Bennacherib.

Gold in South Africa.
The goid fields of the Transvaal
Republie, in South Africa, yielded
over 136,000 ounces in August, which
is the largest product vet recorded in
In round figures a
year's output at the same rate would
he worth $32, 500,000, which is about
equal to the annual production of
gold in either the United States or
Australia. In the countries last
bowever, the gold yield is
it stationary, whereas it is rapid-
increasing vear by year in South
Africa If the Transvaal mines pro-
duce 230.000.0000 in 1863 there will
be #40, 660,000 worth of gold mined
in 1884 in all probability. Where the
top limit will be reached can hardly
be guessed. Good judges say that
hundreds of square miles of territory
are underiaid with gold-bearing rock
and that the total yield of the region
will not fall below $1,500, 000,000,
