HOW THS PARSON BROKETES SABBiTH Ou the grave of "'arson William. The grasa is bravo and bleached. It ia more than fifty winters Since ho lived and laughed and preached.

When a sannd of distant thunder l roke the quiet of the pla e. Soar the meadows of the Crosby's Lay full within his siht. As he glanced from out the window Which stood open on his right. And the green and fragrant haycoika By the acre there did stand ; Not a meadow like tie ceaoou'a Far or near in all the land Quick and loud the claps of thunder Went rjlliu thronga ti e skies. And the Parson saw his Deacon Looking out with anxious eyes. 'New my brethren," called the Tarsou, And he called with might and main, "We mnst get in Brother Crosby's hay, 'Tis our duty now most plain !" And he shot the great red Bible, And he tossed his sermon down ; Not a man could run more swiftly Than the Parson in that town. With a will they worked and shouted. And cleared the fields apace ; And the Parson led the smii g. While the sweat rolled d-wn his face. And it thundered fiercer, louder ; Ana dark grew east and west ; But the hay was under cover. And the Parson had worked the berl And again in pew and pulpit Their places took composed ; And the parson preached his seimon To fifteenthly," where it closed.

"Tell me all:'' was all he could say, and with her hands still in his she told him all there was to tell, and hiding his face in his hand, I.ord Danesford cried like a child. Alice stole away; Jeanne, white and trem bling was wailing for her below. Alice took her hand, and leading her to the mom where he was, opened the door softly. She watched her enter, and, going to his side, put her arms round the bowed bead and draw it to her breast. She saw Max j clasp his arms round her with a cry of love j and joy; and, closing the door, Alice came i quietly an ay. i "Max' whispered the slow sweet voice of his wife, after a long pause, diirin: which he had drawn her face down to its iold resting-place, and she had clased his old resting-place, and she had clased his hands in hers, "can you forgive my doubt f tan vou love me asun i ir i . j ' .i" .i . .

On the first of January the stock of Shanghai, accord ing to the mail advices, was only 22,000 half chest, of CO pounds weight each, or 1, -120,000 pounds, and these have since. acrori!ii..r to that r:tl.l advices, been I hn..vht ..... . the Shan .rhai market is now 1iuil- Tim Khiirt itiiii has already advanced three per cent., and further advances on the present mar- ket prices are indicated by all the large importers of tea.

Of course, a lamp contains no gas which commences to form as the lamp w arms up, and after burning a shorr time sufficient sas w ill accumulate to form an explosion. The gas in a lamp will expl.xle only when ig- niteil In this n-spcrt it is like gunpowder. 1 Chva' or inferior oil is alwavs the most ilangcrous. The flame is communicated to the g:is in the following manner: The j wick tube in the lamp burners is made lar- ger tiian the wick which is to pass thn.tigh it. It would not do to have the wick work tightly in the burner: on the contrary, it is1 essential that it move up and down with perfect ease. In this w ay it is unavoidable that space in the tul is left along the sides of the wick sufficient for the flame from the burner to pass down into the lamp and ex plode the gas. Many things occur to cause the flame to pass down the wick and ex plode the lamp. 1. A lamp may In- st.nn.l- ii jr on the table or mantel, and a slight purl oi air irom tne ojn-n win.iow or ur mav cause an e.xinosioiu -Y lamp mav in- rAtmioiu -. - inuip mat it i.-iKi-n up uuickiy mini a taoie or maniei and instantly t-xplo.le.lL A lamp is taken into an entry where there is a draught, or out of doers and an explosion ensues 4. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight of stairs or is raised quickly to pl:ce it 011 a mantel, resulting in an explosion. In these in !ances the mischief is done by the air movement, either by suddenly checking the draught or forcing air down the chimney against the flame. . Plowing down the chimney to extinguish the light is a fre quent cause of explosion. !. Lamp ex plosions have lM-en caused by using a chim ney broken off at the top or one that has a piece broken out, whereby the draught is variable and the name unsteady. 7. Some times a thoughtless person puts a small sized wick in a huge burner, thus leaving consid erable space along the edges of tlie wick, s. An old burner, with its air draughts cl;wd up, which rightfully should lie thrown away, is sometimes ci-ntinu.il in use, and the final results is an explosion.' Oranges.
