Wo cannot chooso our sorrowg. One there was,.
Who, reverent of soul, and strong with trust,
Cried, "God, though Thou Bhouldat bow .me to the dust,
Yet will I praise Thy everlasting laws,
Beggared, my faith would never halt, or pause;
But sing Thy glory, feasting on n crust.
Only one boon, one precious boon I must
Doraand of Thee, oh, opulent great Cause.
Let Lovo stay with me, constant to the end,
Though fame pass by and poverty pursue."
With freighted hold, her life ship onward sailed;
The world gave wealth, and pleasure and a friend,
.Unmarred by envy, and whose heart was true.
But ere tho sun reached midday, Love bad failed. ,
II.
Then from the depths, in bitterness she cried, .
"Hell Is on earth, and heaven iB but a dream;
And .hurnan life a troubled, aimless stream; '.'.'
And. God Js nowhere. "Would God bo deride
A loving creature's faith?" A voice replied, v
"The stream flows onward to tho Source Supreme;
Whero things that aro replace the things that seem; '
And where tho deeds of all past lives abide.
Once at thy, door, Lovo languished and was spurnod,
Who sorrow plants, must garner sorrow's sheaf.
No prayers can change the seeding in the sod.
By thine own heart, Love's anguish must be learned,
.Pass on, and know, as ono mado wise by grief;
That in thyself dwells heaven and hell and Qod."

past and could comprehend fully their

would be amazed
beyond expression,
lie Would then ap
preciate, for the
first time, tho fact
that tho Human
mind has found a
field for Its ac
tivities of which we
who do not dwell
In the Inner world
of science have no
c o n.c e ptlon, but
which. neverthe

lated to our every

The work of these explorers of nature
It as far apart from the concerns f
Wall street, of politics and of trade and
commerce, as if It were being conducted
In another world, and yet Us results,
either Immediately or In the near future,
must affect the welfare of all the In
habitants or the globe.
A most Interesting Instance of tho re
finements of tho methods employed by
the "new chemlitry" Is afforded by
Prof. 3. J. Thomson's discovery of what
may prove to be an entirely new chemical
clement n element whose existence has
been predicted and which has been sought
for, but which until now has given no
int matlon that it is really present upon
the earth.

:ent years, this of Prof. Thomson Is

based upon tho mysterious rays that are
given off by various substances under
the Influence of electric action. When
such rays- are caused to pass between
two sets of plates, one set electrified
and the other magnetised, they arc
sorted out by the forces acting upon them
and each ray Is bent out of Its original
course In a direction and to a degree de
pending upon the nature of the atoms or
molecules of which It consists.
In this way the chemical elements con
tained in the substances under examlna-
I tlon, even when they exist In extremely
minute quantity, are revealed to the ex
perimenter. He causes the rays to pass
over a photographic plate, and on that
plato each of them Imprints an Image
of Its curved path. Hydrogen atoms have
their characteristic path which no other
atoms follow; oxygen atoms have their
path, and eo on. The flying atoms of
each separate element, no matter how
thoroughly they have been mixed, to
gether, branch out when they are sub
jected to the electrio and magnetic
forces, and each kind follows its own
particular course.
In experimenting with this astonishingly
powerful and yet delicate method of
analysis Prof. Thomson has discovered
certain rays which do not correspond
with thoee of any known substance. But
the curvature of their path Indicates that
this strange element has an atomic
weight of three on the chemists scale
1. c, It Is three times as heavy as an
atom of hydrogen.
Now, the great Russian chenilst. Men
delletf, long ago predicted, from theoret
ical calculations, that thero was, or ought
to be, an element of precisely that atomlo
weight, three. If It should turn out that
the substance discovered by Prof. Thom
son Is really this misting element, and
not, as Prof. Thomson Is half-disposed to
think, eome peculiar form of hydrogen,,
then the circumstances of Its discovery
would rpcall those that attended the dis
covery of th planet Neptune, whose ex
istence was predicted and even Its place
1 In the sky pointed out by means of
mathematical calculations before any as
tronomer had eyer seen It.
It would be a great mistake for the
reader to assume that a dWovery of
this kind Is merely a curiosity of science
In which he can have no practical in
terest To do that would be to fly in the
face of all recent experience. When the
X-rays were discovered they hod at first
only a curious Interest for the general
public, but now they have established
their practical Importance In medicine
and surgery. The phenomena of radium.
i also, at the beginning only excited the
i sensation due to a novelty, but at present
the streams of particles phot off from
that singular substance have likewise
proved a boon to mankind.

Pushing the Perambulator
Friend of Freedom
By REV. THOMAS U. GREGORY.
William Wllberforce, the great-hearted
man whose name will always be asso
ciated with the .abolition of the slavo
trade, died eighty years ago, July 23, 1883.
Carlyle'a favorite
doctrine, that tho
story of human
I progress is simply
the recital of the
Influence of great
Individuals upon
thi comparatively
Inert and helpless
masses of human.
Ity, recolvea In the
case of Wllberforce
A striking Illustra
tion. When Wllber
force, at the ago
of 28, threw hlm-
elf Into the work that he was to relin
quish only with his death, slavery wss
strongly Intrenched In the Ilrltlsh colon
ies, In the United States, and In many
other parts of the earth. Its champions
were many, while those who openly de
nounced It were, like "angels' visits." fow
and far between
In Thomas I'larkson. the grand old
Quaker, the Institution had any unaoin
promUlng ton, and It was fortunate for
the world that, ubout 1787, Wllberforce
made the acqualntanco of Clarkson and
recelvod from him the Inspiration for
freedom und the detestation of human
bondage that was to make him from
that momrit the prime agent In the glor
ious cause of emancipation.
From 17C8 to 1S33 he thundered away In
the House of Commons against the In
stitution t'f slavery- The planters and
most of tho politicians were bitterly op
posed to him, and even among the church
men he found but little assistance. Ilut,
undeterred by tho mighty opposition and
tho lukewarmness of thoso who should
have been his helpers, he kept on, and In
August, US3, one month after his death,
the emancipation bill was triumphantly
pasted by the Parliament. Though dead,
the great man's voice was heard when
It name to tho final vote, und In defer
ence to liln pleadings the law was passed
which removed the sliaokles from every
I slave In the Iiritlsh empire.
It is safe to say that the great abbey
by the Thames contains no nobler dust
than that which was once animated by
' th spirit of Wllberforce.

"When any of my friends see me they

.Did she feel that she had a grievance

Has she ever reproached you fqr the

She doesn't ask that you sit by its

be always patient, tender, mercfful and
forgetful of self, denying yourself every
comfort If that denial made life happier

When you lay your head on your pillow
It Is to sink Into a bound sleep, When
she goes to bed It Is to hover so near

Your apprehensions are centered around

This mysterious motion completely upset
the ancient Hindu, Babylonian, Assyrian,
Arabian, Egyptian and Greek astron
omers and temple and pyramid builders.
They would locate, orientate their huge
buildings and pyramidal structures with
all the precision possible without tele-
soopes and all would be well for a cen
tury or two. Then a north and south line
through their building would no longer
point toward the north star. And a star
that at the time of the building of the
temples sent Its ray at instiutt of rising
Into the center of the eastern gates now

This fact had a profound effect on the
tUerophants of all antiquity. It was an
tnsolvable mystery. A number of years
ago I puhltshed a monograph on this
fascinating subject entitled "The Wanlntr
of the Light of Egypt." The Egyptian and
Greek astronomers watched this majesties
motion of the equator and axis of the
earth during centuries without securing
a olue to Its cause. None among tho
human race Was able to even turmlsa
the hidden cause until tho mighty brain
of Newton rose to supernal heights, dis
covered the true cause and explained It
