Dr. Gordon was silent for a moment or twoâ€"it ssemed ages to Mr. Spencer. Then he said with the tenderest voice, as if he The time came for him at last, and he followed the boy who summoned him into a little room, shaded with green farniture, and on a table a vase of flowers. The stillâ€" ness and the cool air refreshed him. He saw dimly, as he saw everythtng that mornâ€" ing, a tall, slight man, with a kind face and quite manner, who addressed him by name, invited him to sit down, and then inâ€" quired into his symptoms with such tact and sympathy that he felt asif he were talking with a friend. At last the doctor asked him to take a seat by the window and have bis eyes examined. His heart beat chokingly and he whispered under his He reached at last the residence of the distinguished occulist for whose verdiet he had come. He found the parlor half filled with people waiting like himself. He was asked for his name, and sent in a card on which was, "Rev. Wm. Spencer, Mcntâ€" clair." Then he awaited his turn. He dared not think bow long the time was or what suspenee he was in. Hejust kept his simple child‘s prayer in his hbeart, and steadied himself with it. Holding fast to this prayer, as to an anâ€" chor he got out of the cars and went into the street. What a curious mist seemed to surround all things ! The houses looked spectral through it. The very people he met seemed like ghosts. He had not reaâ€" lized his defective vision so much at home where it came on to him gradually ; and all objects were so familiat. Still with an effort he could see the signs on the street corners, and find his way. ‘Father, which ever way it turns, O, give me strength to bear it." ’ The minister strove hard forthe mastery of his own spirit, as the cars whirled him along the next morning towards the tribunâ€" al at which he was to receive his sentence. He tried to think of something else, but found the effort in vain ; so he sarid over and over, as sinm.ply as a clild one form of words . Then suddenly a flash of hopa kindled in the sky ; here might be help for him. This gathering darkness might be something which science could remove. â€" He would be sure of that at least, before he told Mary. And then he became feyerishly impatient. He must kuow at onceâ€"it seetmed to him he could not wait. He called his wife and told her, with a manner he tried hard to make calm, that he was going out of town the next morning on a little business. She wondered that he was so uncommunicative it was not like himâ€"but she would not trouble him with any questions. She | should understand it all some time, she knew, still she thought there was someâ€" thing strange in his way of speaking. Yet speaking after the manner of this 'world. his burden seemed greater than he could bear. What could he doâ€"a blind, helpless man. He must give up his work in lifeâ€"let another take his ministryâ€"sit helpless in the dark. _ Heaven only knows how long. Could ho be thus reâ€" signed ? _ And yet was it too hard ? Dared he say so ? he, God‘s ministerâ€"who had told other sufferers so many times their chasâ€" tenings were dealt out to them by their kind father‘s hand, and that they should count all that brought them nearer to Him as joyous, not grievous ? It was no use, the letter danced before his eyes, the whole world seemed wavering and uncertain in those days. He laid his book down, and began to think of the great | trouble which was shutting him iv. When the black spocks first began to dance beâ€" tween him and his paper, months ago, he bad not thougbt of the matter. It was anneying, to be sure, but he must have tazed his eyes too severely. He would work a little less by lamplightâ€"spare them l awhileâ€"and he should be all night. Bohe had spared them more and more, and yet, the specks kept on their elfin dances; and now for weeks the conviction had been growing on him slowly that be was going : to be blind. He had not told his wife yet ; nor could he bear to layton her shculders the burden of his awful clamity. O, it was too bard"! Home is where the heart can bloom, Where there‘s some kind lip to cheer it. What is home with none to meet, Nome to welcome, none to greet us ?

In that hour of seclusion he made up his mind what to do, They walked the ftamiliar way, and she left him at the foot of the pulpit stairs, and went back to her pew in front. Hegroped up the pulpit stairs; then msing in his place he spoue to the wondering congregaâ€" tion : *Brethren, I stand before you as one on whom the Father‘s hand has tallen heaviâ€" ly. Iam blind.

He ‘ heard the conductor eall out Montclair at last, and got out of the car mechanically. His wife stood there waiting for him. She had been anxious about him all day. "Ob, William !" she cried, and then she saw his face and stopped. There was a look on it of one over whem an awful doom is pending ; a white fixed look that clulled her. She took his arm and they walked silently home : when she bad taken off her bonnet, he spoke at last : He stood up then to go. He knew all was over. He paid his fee and went out of the house. It seemed to him that things had grown darker since he went in.

Dr. Webster waited on the injured man, and he is doing as well as could be expected under the cireumstances. A letter from Winnipeg says ;â€"*"The main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway has been completed to thirtyâ€"three miles west of Portage La Prairie, to which point trains now ruo daily. Brandon will be reached by September 15th. Contracts for grading, amounting in the agqregate to about $800,000, have been let on the main line west within the last fow days.

In three years he hav sown more seed and reaped more harvest than some men in a long lifetime. _ He did his work faitbfully, and was reudy when the hour came for him to go home. Just at the last when those who loved him best stood weepâ€" ing round his bedside they caught upon his fave the radiance of a light not of this world. He put out his hands with a glad For three years more his ponn;nv-o voice ealled them to choose the better way ; and ""And I thought they were coming in inâ€" decent haste to give you notice to go,"cried Mary penitently, "How I misjudge them ! Will I ever learn Cutistian clarity?" _ "I think they might have waited one day," she cried, with a woman‘s impatience at any seeming forge:fulness of the claims given hiin by his years of faithful service. The delegation had reached the door by this time, and the minister did not answer her. She waited on the men into the study and left them there going, about her usual task with a hourt full of bitterness. It was natural perhaps that they should not want a blind minisier, but to tell bim so now, to make the first pang of his sharper by their unthsnkfulvess, it was too much.

He seemed to the congregation as one setapart and cousecrated by the anointing sorrow, and they dare not break the holy silence around him with common speech, those which were lifted towards him, as he stood there with his sightless eyes raised to heaven, his haunds outstretched as if to bring down on them the blessings of which he prayed. Some of the women sobbed audibâ€" ly, but the minister was calm. Aiter a moment he said : l "My brethren, asfar as it is possible, ; the services will proceed as usual." i Then in a clear voice, in which there seemed to his listeners‘ ears some unâ€" | carthly sweetness, he recited the one hundâ€" red thirtieth Psalm, commencingâ€" "Out of the deep bave I called upon Thee, O Lord ; Lord, hear my voice." i After he gave out the first line of a hym which the congregation sang. Then he â€" prayed, and some said who heard him, the â€" eyes closed on earth were surely beholaing the beautiful vision, for he spoke as a son â€" beloved whose very soul was full of the â€" glory of the Father‘s presence.

Now that the Scott prohibitory law is being gladly availed of by many counties that have long felt the scourge of the liquor traffic, it behooves the Government to make provision for its strict enforcement. Of course the temperâ€" ance people will be ever in the foreground with their countenance and moral support to all efforts tending to the abolition of inâ€" toxicating drink, but paying their quots through the regular channels to the mainâ€" tenance of civic institutions, including the preservation of the peace, and upholding of all laws tending thereto, is all that can be asked of them, and, seeing they are not responsible for the evil, is more than their honest share. It is absurd, not to say childish, to demand that they should bear the onus and expense of combating the unâ€" serupulous and, when pushed to the wall, desperate class of men which holds the parâ€" ticular laws in question in contempt, as much so as that they or any other section of respectable citizens should be held reâ€" sponsible for the carrying out of the laws against burglary, arson or anurder.â€"Monâ€" treal Witness.

Every atom under the lens tells of life and living things. The bed of the Atlantic is strewn with thebones Dead Sea, a point would ultimately be reached at which this procees would have to stop; for the water evaporated by the heat of the sun would be exnctly balanced by the water added by the rivers which flow into it. As it is, however, the Mediâ€" terranean is not completely enclosed by landâ€"barriers, but communicates with the open Atlantic by the Straits of Gibralter, This channel does not offera free communâ€" ication between the two oceans, for though its breadth is not inconsiderable, its deapth is emall, not excecding some 1000 feek. The Mediterranean then comes to be a vast lake separated from the Atlantic by a long submarine ridge or marine water shed, and the channel of communication is no#t enfficiently wide to allow a free entrance to the tidal wave. Dr. Carpenter‘s recent researches in H. M. 8. Shearwater show that the constant increase of salt which might naturally be expected to take place in such a soa as the Mediterranean is checked by a deep cnurrent which eonsinte of the beavier and salter water, and which is constantly flowing out into the Atlantie through the Straits of Gibraiter The‘ place of the dense salt water thus carried out of the Mediterranean is taken by the lighter and less salt water of the Atlantie, which is constantly flowing inwards through the straite, ‘The water of the Mediterranâ€" ean is in this way kept at a uniform stanâ€" dard of saltnees by this double cirealation, there being a deep under current of ealt water flowing outwards and a superfcial current of purer water flowing inwards. Tus populstion of Loodia, Bagland <â€" locked, whilst it exposes an ononn;\unm to the rays of the sun, the water of the Mediterranean tends to become more highâ€" ly charged with salt than the water of open seas. The evaporation constantly going on over so large a surface has the result of in« ereasing the proportion of saline matter in the surfaceâ€"water. The upper layer of the Mediterranean would, therefore, become constantly more and more salt, were there bo natural provision by which this process was interfered with. As evaporation goes on, however, and the relative proportion of salt increases, the surface water increnses proportionally in weight, and sinks to the bottom, its place being taken by water which is less highly impreguated with salt and therefore lighter.
