Suppose a man be eaten up by cannibals, how can his body be brought back? I answer, there is no proof that the earthly part of the human body ever can be ab- sorbed in another body. I suppose God has power to keep these bodies everlasting distinct. But suppose that a part of the body was absorbed in another bodyâ€"could not God make a substitute for the part that had been absorbed in another body? The resurrected part of a good man would rather have a substituted por- tion of body given it than that part of the body which a cannibal had eaten and digested. isoul, but never dreamed that the body lwomld get up and join ii.

No hospital there, no dispensary, no medicines, no ambulances, no invalid chair, no crutches, no emaciation, no spectacles for poor sight, no listing at windows to .keep out the cold blasts, but health immortal for the resurrected bodies of the Jighteous. The body will be immortal. The physical system is perpetually wast- ing away; It is only because we. keep putting in the fuel that the furnace does not go entirely out. Blood-vessels are only canals to carry breadstuffs to the different. parts. If these supplies fail, we die. Sickness and death. lurk around to see if they cannot give a pry under the tenement, and at a slight push we tumble off the em- bankment of the grave.

There will be no rough sleep down which to fall. no fracturing a limb. People cross the: sea for their health; but that voyage over the sea of death will cure the? last. Christian invalid.

Yet the human body has been clipped, and blasted, and battered for thou- sands of years. Physical defects have been handed down from generation to generation for six thousand years; and we have inherited all the bodily in- felicities of all the past, But when God takes the righteous out of their graves, he will refashion, and improve, and adorn according to the original model, until the difference between a gymnast and the emaciated wretch in the lazaretto is not so great as that between our present bodily structures and our glorious resurrm-ted forms, There you will see the perfected eye, out of which, by the waters of death, has been washed the last trace of tears and. study. Then you will see the perfected handâ€"the knots on the knuckles of toil untied.

Yea, it is noon- Tday all the time, and all heaven is coming and gomg. They rest not day nor night, in the lazy sense of resting. They have so many Victories to celebratel so matny songs to sing! so many high days to keep! They need no night, for their eyes are never weary. They need no sleep, forthere is no call for physical renovation. If‘ they sit down under the tree of life, it is not to rest, but with some resur- rected soul of earth to talk over old times and rehearse'the battles In which they fought- shoulder to shoulder. Jacob wrestled with the angel. but was not thrown because the angel favoured him, but Jacob once resurrected, an angel could not throw him. There would be no such thing as wrestling down the giants of heaven. They are strong. supple, unconquerable, immortal athletes. Walking ten or fifteen miles, we are. weary.

As soon as it is known that any foreign monarch intends visiting England, or is asked for the purpose his peculiarities are studied at once, and not only be, but all out his suite, are taken in hand and politely scared. Young and old men, each having their parts to act, get everything ready to imoress their guest. The ar- senals are overhauled, garrisons “re- stocked,” men on leave recalled, and the word goes out that. everybody tish possessions; these were merely a sample. This made the Shah very thankful.

Here they gave him a naval review [with plenty of cannon firing, cutlass |d:ri1tl and the. rest of it. It was then !exp-lained to him how tens of thou- lsands oi soldiers could be easily ship- lped to any part of the world under iconvoy of these terrible ships of war. . This information, taken into conjunc- ltion with the spectacle he had just iwitnessed, made him still more itho-ughtful and abstracted. With a :final grand-stand play in the shape of a miniature bombardment the greatly impressed ruler of Persia was packed back to London to banquet some more. Here again, other "show- Otff” officers toot: him in charge and fitted him full of such information as they thought he stood in need of. But the Shah its shrewd. Heineked: “ What would you do if Russia in-‘ vaded India from the north ?” ‘ The Commander-in-Chief of the ar- my, who was in attendance, replied: “ There are only two roads into In- dia, and we have in that country now more men than are necessary. to hold both roads. In the meantime our fleet would sink every ship in the Russian navy, and then destroy all Russia's coast towns."

ANTIDOTES FOR CARBOLIC Aâ€"CID The Ax With Which Charles I. Wm Beheaded. The vexed question, so much in evi- dence in the papers recently. “Where is the present location of the ax with which King Charles I. was beheaded ?" 'has finally been answered. The fam- ous relic now reposes in the Museo Borbonic, at Naples, Italy. One who has rummaged much among the archives of the British Museum furn- ishes these particulars regarding it: The executioner of Charles, Giles Del;- ker, survived the monarch 36 years, dying in 1685. His claim to the ax, which he appears to have regarded as his perquisite, was, after considerable discussion, granted by Parliament, and it remained his until his death. He always refused to make an exhi- bition of the instrument. but his son, however, devoid of such scruples, plac- . ed it on show at his tavern in Lam-l beth, and this coming to the newi King’s ears, a raid was made, the ax was confiscated and James II. he- came its custodian. When compell- ed to fly from the kingdom in 1688 he= took it with him to France, and at: St. Germain it remained until his! death, in 1701. Louis XIV. became its 5 next possessor. and later on the Re-i gent Duke of Orleans, who parted: with it for a “consideration” to Fer-l dinand, King of Naples. Treasured: by that family for upward of 60f years, it was finally deposited in the; Naples Museum. i l -..â€".--.....- . . -. .- "I might mention,” said the head “show-off” to Kruger, when they were reviewing some soldiers, “that we have a little matter of some scores at thousands of discharged soldiers who would be ready within a few days for anything that might turn up,â€" th-e Reservists. The old Boer shook his head solemnly, and that. made the point blank assertion that he did not believe it.

The flee-t he saw, but did not trouble about, as he knew it was powerless to touch him. The “impressionists” worked hard, but somehow nothing could efface from the old man‘s mind the reverses of Majuba Hill, and the surrender that followed.

A su‘ay retriever had attached itself in the 37th Yeomanry Company, Royal Burks Hussarsé during their training at High \Vyoombe. The company grew fond of the dog, and took it with them on the Norman to the Cape. They land- ed at Cape Town and were ordered to reâ€"embark for E13: London, and in doing so they left the dog behind. The company went 230 niijes to Queens- town, and 300 on the Kimberley, and they had two or three different mmps,‘ Eventually they arrived at Boshof, and on the third night after their ar- rival, “Mr. Doggie." as he was call- ed, turned up quite fit.

But counting within this century alone,a great number of cases could be adduc- ed where there has been .a Ceremon- ious destruction of regicide weapons in Europe, for in a4 '1 there have been quite 50 attempted or actual murders of the heads of states. In the cases bo‘h of the Empress 0117 Austria and President Carnot well within ‘he public memory the horriblq weapons of murder n ere destroyed with some ceremony under official inspection, and a subsequent boast on the part of an American gentleman that he had possessed himself of the weapon used upon the present Czar of Russia in Japanâ€"an at empt was made upon him when a gouthâ€"w absolutely contradicted by Russian of- ficiavls. This rule has obtained for agreat number of years, and the origin of it was, presumably that there should not remain in existence any article that might serve asa reminder topeo- It would seem that there are only a. comparative few onpio who know that all weapons raised, whether with deadly,r effect or the reverse, against the headset states and royaltiesâ€"as in the recent case where the Prince of W'ales nearly became a victimâ€"are universally on the Continent of Eur- ope destroyed utterly, so that no frag- ment remains, if possibfe. cyRES GUARANTEES _â€" We um and cure: 123118510 8.
