CONCERT AT TORONTO.

A grand concert in aid of the Sabbath School was given in the schoolhouse at Toronto ou Monday evening the 29th ult. Notw'thstanding the disagreeable evening the howse wad ércwault—siaittog room being difficult tosecure. The concert was wrestled over by Mr. Eigar Giddings, ani a lengthy programmé contisting of rend. ings, dialogues, recitations, instrumental music etc, was fendered in a manner highly creditable to the many performers. At the close of the programne Mr. Hum- phrey Moore deliyered a very stirring speech, after which the eelling of coa- tectionery and apples began. These were dispored of by Mr. L. Jordan ably assisted by Mr. Moore, and a handsome sum was realized which is to aid the Sabbath

School. The meeting closed by singing eor National Anthem ‘*God Save the Queen.” Murray Harbor Jan. 4th 1898. _——>P> os

Stalking Human Prey.

The Goorkha, with his catlike facil- ity for taking cover, aided by his small size and his sleuthhound persistence is following an evasive foe, has always been an annoyance to the stalwart Pa- than.

On one occasion two Goorkha scouts were told off to drive away two Af- ghane who, from a neighboring sum- mit, were ‘‘sniping’’ at a passing col- umn. The column reached its camp aft- er midnight, and wistn roll was called the two Goorkhas were missing.

* Their comrades mourned them for 4 few hours, but at daybreak the two turned up, very tired, very hungry and ‘very thirsty, but radiant.

**We got them both,’’ they said.

Few men but Goorkhas would have enjoyed the sport of stalking enemies in their own country until they ‘‘got them both.’’—Pearson’s Weekly.

Colonel Poker—-I decline to play with you in the game, sir.

Major Moberly—Why, colonel, do you mean to insult me?

| Rey D MeNeill, Secretary read the | following report: — | A great architect is said to have been

} at one time saved from death by a hap- | py stroke of natural wit, on the part of an apprentice. The master, so the | story runs, stood off abstracted in thought and was near the edge of the scaffold when the apprentice perceiving his dauger, dashed a bit of mortar on the beautiful fresco with his trowel. This silent action was enough. It re. called the master from his dangerous position and his life was saved.

}

Without vouching for the story, your committee would this eve- niag imitate the ingenious young

| painter by throwing a bit of mortar in the shape of a dull report on your table, in order, if possible, to recover our triends who stand in distraction review- ing the grand panorama exhibited by the Bible Society.

Soon after the last annual meeting our treasurer J W Morrison, Esq, was removed by death and a resolution was unanimously adopted to piace on record our high appreciaton of his personal worth and of his integrity as treasurer, and to convey the same to his widow

and family. Herewith is appended a statement of the late Treasurer’s ac- counts.

The depository has been again supplied with scriptures during last summer. The total circulation during the year was 950 copies; for fuller information see depositary’s report. By reference to the reports of this anxiliary for the years from 1874 to 1880, and comparing the rate of giving by the supporters of the society in those years, with that shown in recent years, we find there isa marked downward tendency in the -amount raised. We are not alar mists, for we have faith inthe Bible. We believe the cause of the Bible is des- tined to succeed, because the world needs it, and because God is the author of it. Butthere is something in cripp- led resources that is not pleasant to be- hoid. Something that should touch us and move ustorush forward and re- meve the blot on our fair name. We do long to see the young taking a man- ly hold of this great work, and putting it beyond all peradventure. 2

Seems as if consumptiun always picks out the brightest and best. Fally one- sixth of all the deaths that occur in the world are caused by coneurrption. Many things were once ccnsidercd impossible. It would te strange if medical science did not make some progress. The telegraph and telephone, the phonograph, the elec:ric light—all were once impossible, and once it was impossible to cure consumption. That was befcre the time of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dicccvery. Taken accord- ing to directions, the standard remedy will cure 98 per cert. of all causes of consuimp- tion. Consumption is caused and fostered by impurity in the blood. It is cured by purity and richness in the blood—surely, certainly cured by the “Medical Discuvery”’ It builds up solid healthy flesh and vigor- ous strength.

Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, 21008 pape medical work, pro- fusely illnstrated, will be sent free on re- ceipt ot 31 one-cent stampe to cover post— age ovly. Address, World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y.

NAPOLEON’S LAST WORCZ®.

The Dying Thoughts of the Man Whom Europe Feared.

On his deathbed Napoleon expressed his conviction that England would end like the proud republic of Venice.

With perfect composure he gave his last directions: ‘‘I desire that you will take my heart, put it in spirits of wine and carry it to Parma to my dear Marie Louise. You will tell her that I never ceased to love her and relate to her ev- ery particular respecting my death up- on this miserable angl dreary rock. You will tell my mother and family that the great Napoleon expired in the most de- plorable state, deprived of everything, abandoned to himself and to his glory, and that he bequeathed with his dying breath to all the reigning families of Europe the horror and opprobrium of his death.”’

The second codicil of his will con- tained the direction, which was after- ward complied with, ‘‘It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I love so well.”’

On the 5th of May, 1821, he who had for years kept all Europe in a state of feverish excitement terminated his earthly career.

After lying in state two days the body was deposited in a coffin composed jlirst of tin lined with white satin, which, having been soldered, was inclos- ed in another of mahogany, a third of lead, and the whole in a fourth of me- hogany secvred with iron screws. After the ceremony an enormous stone was lowered over the body, resting on a stone wall so as to escape the coffin.

On the 12th of May Louis Philippe commanded that the ashes of Napoleon be conveyed to France. In his commu- nication he said: ‘‘Henceforth France alone will possess all that remains of Napoleon. Histomb, like his fame, will belong to none but his country.”’

At 11 0’clock, Dec. 15, the first can- nou was heard announcing that the re- mains of the emperor had reached French ground. Amid the vast assem- blage the body was borne by 24 seamen to its last resting place in the Hotel des Invalides.

So closed the eventful career of the great Napoleon, whose memory can on- ly perish with the records of the world. —Detrcit Free Press.
