To give furth no sound save the moan of the sea.

And fairy finger' , have taken share
To mend by the fireside bright.

But mine oh I mine, is empty still.

of the Niagara, dowtt tine steep bank of

earnest request. Ills ,:;es were fixed

did he continue to gaze upon the waters
which whiled dizzily almost at our fpet,
that I forbore to disturb Lim with 'the
question which I had often before hesitated
to ask. But my eyes were directed as
steadfastly toward his face, as were his to
ward the wild scene befOre him; and, in
truth, he formed a striking picture, as he
stood there by my side. leaning thought
fully upon his staff, his long, white hair
streaming back over his shoulders, and a
painful, gloomy shadow flickering wearily
about his wan face. Ah—threescore years
and ten had not passed him lightly by ;
the feet that thus tottered on the brink of
the grave must have wandered through
paths of sorrow and distress, and the finger
of Time alone could never have graven
that brow so deeply with wrinkles !
The casual inspection of the old man's
face naturally suggested these reflections;
but beyond this, I recalled the faint re
tnembrance of having at some time beard
a story relating to the long life sorrow of
Wilson Webber—the name of my venera
ble companiou—which, faint though it
was, occurred to ate almost without effort.

the river. And I was thinking of some
plan by which I might draw the narrative
from the lips of the old man himself, when
be conaueueed to speak, iu a voice hardly
audible; not to me, certainly, for he never
changed the direction of his gaze, and he
seemed even unaware of my presence. Ile
was evidently soliloquizing.
"The river is wide, here—very wide,"
he said; "so wide that the opposite bank
is indistinct, and I cannot separate the ob
jects upon it from each other—and deep
—how deep ! Ah, anti how deceitful are
these rolling waters; how they run, just
above, in a still, unbroken current, to break
and change into a treacherous vortex !
Over what wealth of human victims do
they sweep ; what generous hearts have
been 'stilled in their fatal embrace !"

He paused. as he Aserved how intently
I listened to every word which he thuA
unconsciously uttered ; and after a mo

'Sit yonder, if you will," said he, ad
dressing me, "and I will tell you the sim

down the bank r It is tenantless now, and
gone to ruin and decay ; yet time was when
it sheltered warm and noble hearts It
was fifty years ago—fifty long, weary years
—the home of a boatman, wlibse name I
need not repeat, and his only child, Min
nie, as she was called ; and the cabin was
also my home I was younger than you,
and a mere boy in appearance, when I was
first cast abroad upw, the wide world, and
left to its mercies. Contact with it, and
its miseries, soon embittered my youthful
spirit; it was an experience too severe for
my boyish heart, and I grew sick and
weary of life itself. It was merely a care
less longing for change, at this period of
my life, which led we to this wild spot,
and the house of the boatman. For the
first time in all my waylarings, I was
kindly and hospitably received, and my
heart instantly warmed toward the humane
boatman and his little daughter. I had
related to them my story, which needed no
other confirmation than my careworn,
emaciated face and lustreless eyes, aid
their sympaties were readily enlisted for
me; and days and weeki passed insensibly
by, and found me still beneath the roof of
the c.)ttage. It was a Lome, although an
humble one; and for the time, I desired
nothing more. _ 1

not permit Ins to remain whera there was
a possibility that I might be an intruder;
and it was to test the feelings of my new
friends toward me that I one morning an

the subject, it was quickly removed; the

eyes, declared that I should not leave

" 'There's little danger of your going,
Will, while Minnie holds you as tight as
she does now ! But don't think of leav

"S I remained, and made myself use

keewledge which I bad learned by chanee.
I had at first regarded her as a warm

nothing more; but as I studied her more
Closely, I was not slow in discovering in
her the undeveloped germ of beauty, both
of mind and body, which would one day

Simultaneous with the discovery a great
ambition possessed me ; and as I dreamed
over it, my purpose was strengthened and
confirmed. It was simply the determine

Id to devote a few brief years of' toil to
the :requisition of wealth—not fir myself,
but for Minnie and her father. My heart

my gratitude magnified a thousand fold;
arid, best of all, make darling little Minnie

would not be selfish for me to take her all
to myself Ah—you smile, my Young

spirit and determination, if' not in years ;
and I knew that my ambition was a good

"'Good by, then, Will,' said he. 'Per

Minnie upon the threshold my courage al
most died. She placed her hands upon
my shoulders, and threw an eloquent look
of grief and entreaty into my face from
her great brown eyes.
"'Will, you can't go!" she. faltered.—
'You must stay. I know you will for my
sake
'lt is fir your sake that I must go,
Minnie,' I replied ; and in answer to her
mute inquiry, I unloaded to her all my
hopes and longings Child, though she
was, she perfectly comprehended all I
tueaut to convey; and her lashes dropped
with a feeling, aiwust maidenly, as I spoke
of the relations which I hoped, in the fu
ture, to bear to her

"There w;,s the innecAtt warmth of the
child, in the embrace with which she
camped my neck, but the devotion of the
maiden, in tha whispered words: 'Yes,
dear Will, yes!' My heart was too full
for utterance; hastily returning her kiss,
I s!rapped my little bundle to my back,
and grasping my stick more firmly, I
strode manfully forth. Pausing at a little
distance from the cottage, I looked back;
Minnie was standing in the doorway look

eyes as I walked rapidly away ; and in the
sad enthusiasm of the moment, I resolved
to move heaven and earth, if necessary, to

firmness j but when he at last came to
know me, he seized my hand with all of
his old heartiness, and almost dragged me
inside the door.
•'You have not for,;otten us, Will—l

%No wonder I did not know you ; but you're
welc - ane, toy- boy And how about your
old dreams, Wid ?' he added, with an in
credulous loL•k. 'Have you come back to
fulfill thew ?'
'Most certainly I have; I am rich now
—and ycai may rely upon it, all that I
pl3nned when a boy shall now be accom
plished !'
"I wished to say more, but the question
which I wished to ask, died upon my lips.
Foolish fears, perhaps they were; but I
could not help entertain;; a suggestion
that this fair fabric of happiness which I
bad shaped for myself, might be dashed
down, even when near its completion.—
These fears, however, were but momentary;
the garrulous boatman mentioned the name
I most wished him to speak.
" will be overj.iyed to see you,'
he sal , : •Slie is a tall. handsome girl now
—almost a lady—and she speaks of you
often. She h:is never lOrgotten you.
"'Where is she r I impatiently asked.
'Tell her that I have come; you know how
anxious I must be to see her again."
" 'You shall see her soon, my boy,' the
boatman replied, with his old smile. 'She
crossed the river this afternoon to visit a
sick person ; but she promised to return
before dark. Something has detained her;
9be will be here presently.'
"The Icad fell from my heart, and my
spirits ascended to their wonted level For
a while longer I listened to the talk of the
beat man ; but when he left the room for
a moment I stepped without the dtor, and
turned my eyes to the river. The moon
was at her full, and I had no difficulty in
distinguishing a boat, just putting out
from the oppir-ite shore. Th,ire was -but
one person in it, besides the rower, and
that a female figure; and with my heart
beating hieh with hope and expectancy, I
walked quickly to the edge of the water,
and sto AI where lam now standing. My
eyes were steadf a stly fixed upon the boat;
I feared that some misfortune might yet
intervene between myself and the dear one
who sat in the stern, her band carelessly
playing in the water, unconscious of my
presence. Nearer and nearer came the
boat, until I could distinguish the features
of her beautiful face—and my excitement
moved me to rashness; I called my name
to her, over the water, calling her, also, by
name. Fatal words ! I forgot that the
boat was nothing more than . one of those
frail birch canoes, which were then used
upon the waters, and which required but a
movement to be thrown from their uncer
tain balance ; and, apparently, she also for
got it. Reongnizing my voice, she sprang
up, heedless of the warning cry of the tuna
at the oars—her hand was once waved joy
onsly toward me—and the next instant,
while a shriek of horror ran across the
water, both were struggling in the will
fllod ! You see tbat white circle of foam
opposite us r It was there that the help
less girl, wildly stretching out her arms to
me for assistance which I was powerless to
extend, was drawn downward into the
treacherous depths! In an instant all
was over; death, dark and fearful, had
mocked my fancied happiness; and the
corpse of the loved and lest Minnie was
hurried forever from my eyes."
Tile old man sighed and gloomily bowed
his heal. Tke river sent up its hollow
murmur, the wind moaned among the
tnes upon the bank, and, as darkness set
fled down, every sight and sound seemed
to betrsy a d.asoutte aspect, congenial to the
old nun's broken heart.
"Let us go," he said ; and I offered my
arm for him to lean upon. -It is fifty
years ago . to•night, and this is the fiftieth
time I have visited the spot A few more
visits—a wry few—and my cares will be
over !"
"But what of the boatman, Minnie's
father ?" I asked.
"Nothing—except that he became in
sane upon that terrible night. Where he
is now, I know not; he must have died
long since."
The old man's story passed from my
mind ; but being lately in the vicinity of
its scenes, curiosity and re awakened in
terest led me to revisit it. I found a new
made grave near the door of the deserted
cottage ; and my surmises would assuredly
have indicated its occupant, even without
the assistance of the wooden slab which
some pious hand had raised at the head of
the grave and inscribed with the word- :
"Wilson Webber, mtat. 73." Inquiry con
firmed my suspicions, that the old man
had made but one visit to the river subse
quent to that upon which I had accom
panied him; and that he had yielded up
his life upon the very spot which had been
the scene alike of his hopes and sorrows.

Light in the Home.
The eminent English writer, Dr. Rich
ardson, has written an article called
"Health at Home," which is replete with
wisdom. A most important point, and one
on which he dwells, is the fact thitt sr, many
people are afraid of the light. "In a d.O k
and gloomy house you never can see the
dirt that pllutes it Dirt accumulates on
dirt, and the mind soon learns to apologize
for this condition because the gloom can
teals it " Accordingly, when a house is
dark and dingy, the air becomes impure,
not only on account of the absence of light,
but from the impurities which are accu
mulated. Now, as Dr. Richardson cleverly
puts it, we place fl ,wers in our windows
that they may have the light. If this be
the case, why should we deprive ourselves
of the sunshine and expect to gain health
and vigor ? Light, and plenty of it, is not
only a purifier of things inanimate, but it
absolutely stimulates our brains. It is in
regard to sick rooms that this excellent au
thority is particularly impressive. It used
to be the habit of physicians in cld times.
to sedulously darken the rooms, and this
practice continues to some extent even to
day. In certain very acute cases of ner
vous diseases, where light, the least ray of
it, disturbs in over exciting the visual or
gars, this darkening of the room may be
permitted, but ordinarily to keep the light
out of the room is to deprive the patient
of one of the vital forces. Children or old
people condemned to live in darkness are
pale and wan, exactly like those plants
which, deprived of light, grow whtte.
Darkness in the daytime undoubtedly
makes the blood flow less strongly and
checks the beating of the heart, and these
conditions are precisely such as bring con
ed utional suffering and disease. The sup
pression of the light of day actually in
creases those contageous maladies which
feed on uncleanliness. Dr. Richardson
states : "I once found by experiment that
certain organic persons, analogous to the
poisons which propagate these diseases, are
rendered innocuous by exposure to light."

The Salvation Army .
ITS ORDH N- ITS METHOD OF WORK
WHAT IT HAS DONE.
Versons who have had access to the Eng
lish journals during the past two or three
years, have been frequently struck with
the graphic descriptions given of the do
ings and progress of a queer religious or
ganization known as the "salvation Army."
Now that a detachment of the army has
come into our midst, with ways and meth
ods of work so sharply in contrast with
our own modes of evangelical work, and
as they are likely to be an object of in•
creasing interest for at least some time to
come, it may not be amiss to give the
readers of the JOURNAL a brief history of
the origin of this singular organization,
with some account of what it has already
done, and what it proposes to do in con
ueetion with its visit to this country.
The founder of the organization and the
present head of it, or generalissimo, is
Rev. William Booth, an ex-Wesleyan
Methodist clergyman, of London, England.
He is a man of rare tenderness and sensi
bility of heart, and was deeply moved for
the degraded and criminal classes which
crowd some parts of the city, and whom it
see: ned impossible to rears through any
of the ordinary methods of the church. So
deep was his interest in these wretched
classes, and such his determination to do
something for their salvation, that he re
quested the conference to make this a ape
cial work, and assign him to the charge of
it. This, however, the conference declin
ed to do, and assigned him to a country
charge With his whole soul absorbed with
this one idea the result may be easily antioi
pated. Ile withdrew from the conference,
aud. alone, unaided, took up the work upon
which his heart was set. He went among
the lowest slu•ns, he visited freely the
vilest dens, and to the most wretched and
degraded refuse of humanity--so steeped
in vice and crime that all semblance of
humanity seemed to have faded out of
them—he freely offered the salvation of
Christ to all who would accept it. The
vile, the criminal, the besotted in sin and
wretched, the refuse of the alleys and dens
heard with astonishment, for the first time
in their miserable lives, words of sympathy
and kindness. They could hardly trust
their ears as this new language fell upon
them. They crowded around him by huo
dreds and thousands, and followed him
wherever he went. Nor was it the "bread
of life" alone that he gave them ; like the
Divine Master who, nearly nineteen hun
dred years ago, went about doing good to
the bodies and souls amen, so he dispen
sed also, when it was needed, the bread
that perisheth. The result was that in a
short time hundreds were converted.
It now became the great question bow
to secure these converts and utilize them in
the further advancement of his great wort.
It would be of no use to bring into opera
tion the ordinary church machinery in
their case. It would not hold them a sin
.gle day. They were a "peculiar people,"
had led peculiar lives, and had peculiar
modes of thought. Their lives bad been
different from the lives of other men and
women. Their very modes of life had
made them sensational and prone to the
extravagant, the startling and the out of
the way, and so it was necessary in their
case that some extraordinary and novel
method should be devised to enlist and
hold them. It is easy to see how to a
mind and temperament like that of Mr.
Booth, who. in the course of his work had
many a hard fight with the archadversary,
and whose mind was full of the militant
figures of the Scriptures, the idea of a
military organization, or a fighting Chris
tiara army should suggest itself; and so
gradually the organization grew into the
Salvation Army with its battalions, des
tachments, its processions and banners and
music, its captains and companies, its or
ders and proclamations, and all the attract
ive et ceteras so caculated by their very
novelty to draw the attention of those to
whom all ordinary attractions had become
blase. The success of Dr. Booth's organ
ization is evidenced by the fact that the Sal
- cation Army now consists of 125 corps and
stations with 179 officers a holly employed
in its labor, while privates ere numbered
by tens of thousands. ;Ls headquarters
are in the east of London, in Whitechapel
street, consisting of a large building con
taming a large hall for public meetings
and smaller hails for business purposes
connected with the work. Latterly the
organization has rapidly extended over all
the principal cities and larger towns of
England, Ireland and Scotland, and it has
the hearty support of many wealthy and
influential persons bath in and out of the
church, who freely advance the funds ne
cessary for the prosecution of the work.
It is claimed that through the labors of
the Salvation Army the character of the
whole population of South Wales has been
changed for the better, that the charge
sheets of police courts have been greatly
reduced, the liquor traffic almost suspend.
ed, and whole eounties roused to spiritual
concern. The same g ood results have been
claimed for it in th e principal towns of
Great Britain in which it has operated,
and, it must be confessed, with a consider
able degree of truth. At any rate, there
is one great lesson being taught the church,
and Christian philanthropists generally, in
the rise and success of the Salvation Army,
and that is, if the lower classes are ever
reclaimed and brought to Christ it must
be by going down to them with the gospel.
The angel must step down into the pool
before the waters can be troubled. And
another truth taught is, that even the low-
eat and vilest can — thus be reached; that
they thirst Kr human sympathy, long for
something better, and are ready eagerly to
accept it wlien honestly Offered and in the
ritzlit way.- —.:Tho York Evening

onions, either cooked or raw. Colds yield
to them like magic. Don't be afraid of
them. Taken at night all offence will be
wanting by morning, and the good effeots
will amply compensate for the trifling an
noyance Taken regularly they promote
the health of the lungs and the digestive
organs. An extract made by boiling down
the juice of onions to a syrup, and taken
as a medicine, answers the purpose very
well, but fried, roasted, or boiled onions
are better. Onions are a very cheap med
icine, within every body's reach, and they
are not by any means as "bad to take" as
the costly nostrums a neglect of their nee
may necessitate.

Famous Feats of Strength.
SOME OF TIIE REMARKABLE ATHLETES OF
ANCIENT AND MODERN TIMES.
Among the Greeks the successful ath
lete was crowned with laurels and loaded
down with wealth and honors. When
Egenetne, in the ninety second Olympiad,
triumphant in games, entered Agrigen
tun), his native home, he was attended by
an escort of 300 chariots, each drawn by
two white horses, and followed by the pop
ulous. cheering and waving banners. Milo
six times won the palm at both the Olym
pic: and Pythian games. He is said to have
run a mile with a four.year-old ox upon
his shoulders, and afterward killed the
animal with a blow of his fist, and ate the
entire carcass in one day! So great was
his muscular power that he would some
times bind a cord round his head and break
it by the swelling and pressure of the
veins. An ordinary meal for Milo was
twenty pounds of meat, as mueb bread, and
fifteen pints of wine. Polydamus, of Thes
salia, was of prodigious strength and colos
sal height, and, it is said, alone and with
out weapons, killed an enormous and en
raged lion. One day (it% is reported) he
seized a bull by one of the hind feet, and
the animal escaped only by leaving the
hoof in the grasp of the athlete. The Ro
man Emperor Maximinns was upward of
eight feet in height, and like Milo, of
Crotone, could squeeze to powder the
hardest stone with his fingers and break
the leg or jaw of a horse by a kick. His
wife's bracelet served him as a ring, and
his every day meal was sixty pounds of
meat and an amphora of wine.
While a prisoner in Germany, Richard
I, accepted an invitation to a boxing match
with the son of his jailer. He received
the first blow, which made him stagger;
but, recovering, with a blow of the fist
killed his antagonist on the spot. Topham,
was born in London in 1710, was possess
ed of astonishing strength. His armpits,
hollow in the case of ordinary men, were
with him fall of muscles and tendons. He
would take a bar of iron, with its two ends
held in his hands, place the middle of the
bar behind his neck, and then bend the
extremities by main force until they met
together, and bend back the iron straight
again. One night, perceiving a watchman
asleep in his box, be carried both the man
and his shell to a great distance, and de
posited them on the wall of a churchyard.
Owing to domestic troubles, he committed
suicide in the prime of life. The famous
Scanderberg. King of Albania, who was
born in 1414, was a man of great stature,
and his feats in sword exercise have never
been equaled. On one occasion, with a
scimitar, he struck his antagonist such. a
terrible blow that its tremendous force
cleaved him to the waist. He is said to
have often cloven in two men who were
clad in armor from head to foot. On one
occasion the brother and nephew of a cer
tain Mahan, who had been convicted of
cruelties to the Albanians, were brought
to him, bound together. Transported
with rage, he cut them in two with one
stroke of his weapon. Maurice, Count of
Saxony, the hero of Footeney, inherited
the physical vigor of his father, and was
especially noted for the surprising muscu
lar power, or grip," of his hands. On
one occasion, needing a corkscrew, he
twisted a long iron nail round into the re
quired shape with his fingers, and with
this extemporized implement opened a
half dozen bottles of wine. Another time,
when stopping at a village blacksmith shop
to have his horse shod, he picked up a
number of new horseshoes, and with his
hands snapped them in two as readily as
if made of glass, much to the surprise and
disgust of the smith.
If history isio be believed, Phayllus, of
Crotona, could jump a distance of fifty-six
feet. The exercise was practiced at the
Olympic g ames and formed part of the
course of the Pentathlon. Strutt, an Eng
lish authority on games and amusements,
speaks of a Yorkish jumper named Ire
land, whose powers were something mar
velous. He was six feet high, and at the
age of eighteen leaped, without the aid of
a spring-board, over nine horses ranged
side by side. He cleared a cord extended
fourteen feet from the ground with a
bound, crushed with his foot a bladder
suspended at a height of sixteen feet, and
on another occasion lightly cleared a large
wagon covered with an awning. Col. Iron
side, who lived in India early in this cen
tury, relates that he met in his travels an
old white haired man who with one leap
sprang over the back of an enormous ele
phant flanked by six camels of the largest
breed. A curious French work, pub
lished in Paris in 1745, entitled "The
Tracts Toward the History of Wonders
Performed at Fairs," mentions an English
man, who at the fair of St. Germain in
1724, leaped over forty people without
touching one of them. In our own day we
are familiar with many remarkabble ex
positions of strength and ender ace. Dr.
Winship, with the aid of straps lifted a
weight of 3,500 pounds, and with his little
finger of his right hand could raise his
body a considerable distance from the
ground.
Rain in Dry Weather.
Geo. Daniel Ruggles, of Fredericksburg,
Va.,has devised a plan for producing rain
in ry weather, and be wants Congress to
appoint a special committee to consider it.
Ills method is to send up balloons charged
with dynamite, the concussion caused by
the explosion to produce the required rain
fall. The Government should practice
economy, but we are willing that Congress
shoull spend $10,000,000 in experiment.
ing with Ruggles' plan, provided we are
permitted to name the men who are to ac
company the balloons in the air and ex
plode the dynamite. But seriously, we
haven't much faith in Geo. Ruggles' plan.
It strikes us that it would be better to
have the ears of his balloons constructed
in the shape of large tubs, with perforated
bottoms, and then fill 'em with water at
the river, and ascend in the air and sail
over dry country with his balloons, and
let them act as aerial sprinkling carts, as it
were. This,
it seems, to us is a more sen
sible plan than exploding dynamite. A
Sunday school picnic brings on rain quick
enough, but it would be rather expensive
travelling over the country with several
hundred children and fifty grown up per
sons holding picnics in localities suffering
from a drouth.
