ho has willed to live\u2014and he has lived \u2014why should he not live longer ?He will live\u2014because he lias willed it ! All we have just written passed through Rodin's mind in u second.His features, convulsed by the mental torment ho endured, must have assumed a very strange expression for Father d\u2019Aigrigny ami the cardinal looked at him in silent consternation.Once resolved to live, and to sustain a des perato struggle with the Renuepont family, Rodin acted in consequence.For a few mo ments, Father d\u2019Aigrigny and the prelate bo lieved, themselves under the influence of a dream.Ry an effort of unpirallcled energy, and as if moved by hidden mechanism, Rodin sprang from the bed, dragging the sheet with him and trailing it, like a shroud, behind his livid and lleshless Iwdy.The room was cold ; the face of the Jesuit was bathed in sweat ; his naked and bony feet left their moist print upon the stones.'* What are you doing Î It is death .cried Father d\u2019Aigrigny, rushing towards Rodin, to foroe him to lie down again.Rut the latter, extending one of his skeleton arms, as hard as iron, pushed aside Father d\u2019Aigrigny with inconceivable vigor, considering the state of exhaustion in which he had so long heeu.\t# \u201cHe has the strength of a man in a fit of epilepsy,\u2019\u2019 said Father d\u2019Aigrigny, recovering his balance.\t.With a steady step, Rodin advanced to the desk, on which Dr.Ralcinicr daily wrote his proscriptions.Seating himself before it, the Jesuit took pen and paper, and began to write in a firm hand.His calm, slow, ami sure movements, had in them something of the deliberateness remarked in somnambulists.Mute and motionless, hardly knowing whether they dreamed or not, the cardinal and Father d\u2019Aigrigny remained staring at the incredible coolness of Rodin, who, half-naked, continued to write with perfect tranquility.\t, , \u201c Rut father,\u2019\u2019 said the Abbe d\u2019Aigrigny advancing towards him, \u201cthis is madness ! Rodin shrugged his shoulders, stopped him with a gesture, and made, him a sign to read what he had just written.The reverend father expected to see the ravings of a diseased brain ; hut ho took the note whilst Rodin commenced another.\u201c My lord,\u201d exclaimed Father d\u2019Aigrigny, \u201c read this !\" The cardinal read the paper, and returning it to the reverend father with equal amazement, added :\t\u201c It is full of reason ability and resources.^ o shall thus he able to neutralize the dangerous combination of Abbe Gabriel and Mdlle.do Cardoville, who appear to he the most formidable leaders of the coalition.\u201d \u201c It is really miraculous, said rather d\u2019Aigrigny.\u201c Oh, my dear father !\u201d whispered the cardinal shaking his head ; \u201c what a pity^we arc the only witnesses of this scene ! W hat an excellent miracle wc could have made of it ! In one sense, it is another Raising of Lazarus.\u201d\t, \u201c What an idea, my lord !\" answered Father d\u2019Aigrigny, in a low voice.\u201c It is perfect\u2014and we must not give it up-\u2019 This innocent little nlot was interrupted by Rodin, who, turning his head made a sign to Father d\u2019Aigrigny to approach, and delivered to him another aheet, with this note at taohed :\t\u201c To ho executed within an hour.\" Having rapidly perused the paper, Father d\u2019Aigrigny exclaimed :\t\u201c Right 1\t1 had not thought of that.Instead of being fatal, the correspondence between Agricola and Mr.Hardy may thus have the best results.Really,\u201d added the reverend father, in a low voice, to the prelate, while Rodin continued to write, \u201c 1 am quite confounded.I read I see -and yet I can hardly believe my eyes.Just before, exhausted and dying and now with his mind as clear and penetrating as ever.Can this he one of the phenomena of somnambulism, in which the mind alone governs and sustains the body !\" f To U eonlimud.) CHILDREN'S CORNER.DON'T TOUCH THE WIRES.The dangers connected with the use of steam heat have become generally understood, and thus are mostly avoided.I he more common use of electricity will also, doubtless, soon so familiarize us with its associated perils that there will seldom occur any serious accidents through its agency except in cases of gross carelessness.Rut as yet, it is to many an unknown and therefore terrible force, and Is shunned as mucli as possible.And wisely so, too,, for until certain universal laws of its operations are learned, the heat thing to do with it is to let it severely alone.The New York Ltilyer gives the following wholesome advice : \u201c It is always best to avoid danger,, if possible ; therefore, there is one rule which ought to be taught in every school in the United States, and that is, never lift a wire oil the ground.This rule may prove more valuable than the rule of three.\u201cA telegraph wire, no matter how many messages may he passing over it, is perfectly harmless, but an electric wire is always deadly.When you sco a wire hanging from a polo or a house, or in any position, it may he a telegraph wire or an electric wire, so the safest plan is to let it lie.It may not be dangerous, hut it is like a loaded gun\u2014it may kill you.\u201c If an electric wire lies across your path, and it Incomes absolutely nc essary to remove it, bear these points in mind : So long as the wire is on the ground it is harmless, no matter what pressure may be on it, Tho moment it leaves the ground it is dangerous.You can pull the slack with your hand or foot any distance, so long as the end touches the ground, hut do not lift it.The instant you do, you become part of tho electric circuit, and the current will run to tho ground through your body.\u201cNever mind what your comrades may ray about your cowardice or timidity\u2014don t touch the wires.\"\u2014Qoldtn Rule.THE *'I WILLS\" OF SCRIPTURE.COMPILED BY MRS.I.H.RICHES, Friday Auywil .V.A DIVINE CALL.I will say to the north, Give up ; and to tho south, Keep not back : bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of earth.\u2014Isaiah xliil.G.Re ye therefore followers of God, as dear children.\u2014Ephesians, v.1.A LONO SOFFKRINfl HATKB Ol TOBACCO, writing on his trials, says: \u201cRight hero comes a protest from some user of the weed : \u2018 Haven't I right to smoke when and where I please?\u2019 No sir ; you have not.Dure air and pure water are heavou\u2019s universal gifts to man and you have no more right to poison tho one with your vile tobacco fumes than you have to dump a cartload of the filthy weed into the reservoir that supplies the city with the other,\u201d\u2014ii.C.T.U.Rulltlin, S\u2019 !

Canada.Tbe attitude of Englishmen towards this country in the paît has generally been one almost more hurtful to our national pride than actual contempt would have been.They have practically Ignored it.Kven writers like Sir Chari's I dike and half a doren others, who have gone abroad to study the greater Britain on whi< h the sun never sett,have usually given it the go-by in their travels and treated it in their writings as a sort of impertinent breach in North American Anglo Saxon unity.Those Kngllthmen who in past days came here to \u2014-\t¦\u2014¦¦¦\u2022 i i ,\t¦ ¦ JI i w.deliver

because they were Knights of Labor ?\" The Company says they were not,the Knights of Labor say they were.Both parties said,some days ago,that they were prepared for aninvestigationshouldonebedetermlnedupon.The State Hoard can order an investigation of any such occurrences whether the parties are willing or not, and it has tho power of requiring tho attendance of witnesses with papers, documents, and other forms of evidence just as any coart has.It has not, however, the power of arbitrating without the consent of both parties.In this case the President of the Hoard wanted both the Company and the labor organization to submit to arbitration, but the Company refused, while the Knights were naturally, in view of their standing demand for compulsory arbitration, anxious to arbitrate.Tbe Company claimed that there was nothing to arbitrate : that they did not propose to allow of any interference with the management of the road, for which they alone were responsible.This reason held good until the manager declared that the men were discharged because they wore drunken, incapable or insubordinate, reasons which were, of course, calculated to hinder the men from obtaining new employment.Then the men, who hold that they were discharged after being questioned as to their being Knights of Labor and for no other reason, and certainly without any reason being given them,were entitled, at least, to investigation.This the Hoard has decided to hold, and the Knights of Labor, who have been, they claim,waiting confidently in the expectation of this course being decided upon before taking any further steps, profess to welcome it.The Knights of Labor declare that they have not lost confidence in the Vice President of the Company, Mr.Chaunccy Depcw, and they say that the investigation will discover the true cause of the discharge of the employees, which cause Mr, Depew will then have before him on his return.They think ho will reinstate most of the discharged employee) and take hack the strikers, as well as reiterate his % lews in regard to arbitration of labor disputes, which, they say, is tho most the Knights ever asked for.THE .ST.CLAIR TUNNEL.Though the scheme for tunnelling the Straits of Dover, hss been steadily balked by the superstitious apprehensions of the insular Briton that something diro would happen to his tight little island if continentals were allowed to reach it without getting seasick, English railway men have walked triumphantly through a similar connection between Canada and the United States, against which the most blatant loyalist has nsver uttered a squeakof feor.The St.( 'lair Tunnel Company, which is an auxiliary of the Grand Trank Railway Company, was only incorporated in 1SH6, and the preliminary work was not begun until the following year.The first two years were spent in sinking test shafts and in attempting to begin work on the tunnel by sinking large shafts.This attempt was a failure, and in January, 18S9, the tunnel was begun with two great open cuttings, eighteen and nineteen hundred feet back from the river\u2019s banks, at the bottom cf which was to be the tunnel entrance.In August of the same year tunnelling began, so that in a year the tunnel, twenty-one feet in diameter, and six thoussuid and fifty feet in length has been completed.The system whicli was made use of in driving tho Imre is that invented by Mr.A.E.Beach, of the Sritntijic Amtriran.The method of construction under which the tunnel was completed as the work proceeded is the invention of the designer of tho project, Mr.Joseph Hobson, of Hamilton, the chief engineer of tbe Great Western Division of the (.rand Trunk Railway.'iwo of the Beach hydraulic shields, one at each end of the bore, were made use of and the work went on unceasingly.The Beach shield is an enormous steel cylinder about the diameter of the proposed tunnel, the front edge of which is iharpened to allow it to be thrust into the soil while in the rear it Is provided with a row of hydraulic rams.Stages are provided in the interior npon which men can work, and the rear part of the shield is for two feet and a-half or more comparatively thin.When in operation, the foro part of Friday, August 29, Ï890, ¦ I \u2014\u2014I i .\t- i .n.the shield is thrust against tbe soil to be removed.The workmen remove it as far a* possil Ih, and while this ia being done, tho lining of the tunnel In set up hi thu open portion in the rear.When this apaee ha* beeu filled the hydraulic rams are set in operation, their pistons resting I rmly on tho newly completed lining, aud tho whole shield ia forced forward another two feet aud a half, or as far as the earth has been removed in front of tho machine.The pistons of the rams are then thrust back, ami the work of excavating tho material in front of the shield and building up the lining of the tunnel behind it is coutiuued.The great innovation upon previous practices made in the construction of the St.Clair tunnel was that, instead of brick or stone, cast irou was used as the materiel for thu tunnel lining.The castings which make up this lining are four feet ten inches in length, eighteen inches in width, and one and three-quarter inches in thickness.Thirty-two bolts in each segment connect it with its follow*, and tho completed tunnel forms an immense iron tube, six thousand and fifty feet in length, twenty-one feet in external diameter, and twenty feet in internal diameter.The use of cast iron in tills way was the idea of Mr.ilobeon, and the perfect succeaa of the work of construction was in great measure due to the idea.The St.Clair tunnel practically completes the continuous line of rail between Chicago and the East, which makes up the Grand Trunk system, and it will increase greatly the power of the Canadian Trunk lino to compete with its American rivals.The last bolt driven in the St.Clair tunnel complètes the link of steel uniting Montreal, the oceap port of the St.Lawrence Valley,with Chicago, one of its concentrating points.With two such connections with the great West as are furnished by the Sault St.Marie route and this tunnel, tho trade of Montreal in the future should be worthy of its position.BLUE ANDjtED PENCIL.OPPOSITION STREET CAR LINES CHALKED OUT AND RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL.VERT PRACTICAL HIPLT TO THE

from Mr.Luiher, already printed in the Wttntss, to tbe effect that tbe Company is ready to lay a double track on St.Lawrence, but not to do anything elie.At tho conclusion of tho reading them was a
