He was met by hU wife, who seized him about the neck and kisied him. She mid a fervent " Thank < Joel !" Thirty or forty more oi Mr. Moody ' friends were there to greet him, and they crowded about andshojk hi* hand. He was .tln.oat carried down the pier to a carnage which was wait- ing to take him xo the I .r ind Central Station to catch the 4 o'clock Briton trim. He was bound for his home at Kat Northtield, Mass. A reporter accompxmed him part of the way home. To him Mr. Moody said : "lama nrm believer in prayer. I al- ways hare been. I believe and I know that God saved the Spree in response to our prayers." The devails of the accident to the Spree's main shaft and the filling of two of her after compartments with water have already been printed in cable messages to the Sun. Mr. Moo ly rehearsed them as they had been printed. " We knew the ship was sinking," he aid, " when we came on deck. There was no panic. The womon did not scream nor dasn about, nor were the men outwardly frightened, but every soul aboard that boat felt that tlie end was very near. The pass- engers walked up and down the decks. They looked into each other's faces, but they did not speak. The big engines of the hip were all working at the pumps, but the water wa* steadily gaining in spite of them. With each roll oi the ship it could be heard like the roar of the surf, but with mote ter- rible cracks and crashes. "The water reached the second cabin, and the passengers then* fled to thr first cabin. Thr stern of the big boat was down so that th* after deck was almost awash. She rolled s that the lifeboats could not be launched. Waves boarded her M she rolled. The sea was not stormy, but it was rough. "At noon, six hours after the accident. the Captain came to the dining room where we were all gathered, and told us that he thought the pumps were working success- fully, and that he had the water under con- trol We had passed a ship theday before., and he said it should catch up with us by .'! o'clock. At 2 o'clock men and women walked the decks wr.h watch** in hand, scanning the hori/.on on the four points of the compass for a sail. Hour after hour passed with no ign of rescue. Each roll needed her last, yet it wa* her salvation to keep her rolling, the officer* slid. She was kept in the trough of the sea. If she had been pitching one plunge might have sent the water in her hold breaking forward, and that would have been the last of her. " Night came on with the passengers s'ill canning the sea. Darkness, it seemed, ueh aa never hnman being* were called on to witness, came. It was ihe darkest nitfht in my life I think, in the lives of any of the 700 aboard the boat Rockets were sent up at intervals, and a huge barrel, kept fill- ed with t.ir. was burning on the hurricane deck forward. It lighted the heavens. No eye was closed in sleep that night. No man believed he would see another sun. " The first and second cabin passengers were gathered in the first cabin dining room. They made dismal attempts to en- tertain each other. They were pitched and tossed by the roll. One wemin was thrown down, and her arm was broken. We could not talk of religion, for the first word brought f irth a> hundred exclamations 'Are we sinking, then V "In that first night one woman went in- sane. She had two children with her, and she begged us piteonsly to save them and let her die. It seem an age until the Sb- 'h morning came. The vigil ou the deck was resumed. The ohVers were there with navy revolvers buckle. 1 almut their waist* for instant use. The strain on th" mini ><f the people was awful. At last I proposed that we have a meeting. Gen. Howard and some of tli* other passenger* agreed to it. I went to rapt. Willigerod. 'I'm of that persuasion myself,' he said, and so we called a meeting. We gathered in the ilimng room five hundred Jews, Catholics, skeptics, and Christian*. Creed made no difference. 1 have been under fire twice in iu my life. I passed through the cholera epidemic in Chicago, and visited the houses of the sick. I am not afraid, but in tin- dark hour I had all I could do to sustain myself. I read the Ninety-first I'salin. One verse I read in Knglish. the next a (MTIII.UI passenger read in Herman, and then I read the KITth Psalm, and then we knelt and prayed. 1 say 'we.' I believe there wai no' a soul there that didn't i.-.n in that prayer. We prayed that Hod would bring the ship safe into haven. I' 1 wesing? Yes : we tried to, bat it was sorry sing- ing with choking throats and ach'ng hearts. Uen. Howard did sing : " Jena*, lover of my soul. I .et in-' to Thy boraiii tl>. \\ hi> the nearer wler roll. While the lenipcxt ^till n luich. "He sang it clear through. Now and theu a voice joined with hit, imt it was only for a word or two. A sob would end is. Never was a more earnest meeting held than this. The Jews and the Catholics and the skeptics and the Christians prayed together, and 1 didn't hear much talk of skepticism, I can tell you, tor three or four d.iys. 1 do not think that any meeting ever held hail a norc comforting effect on the participants. We slept that night some of us did. I sept. lien. Howard slept peacefully. Hut my son was one who did not. " At 2.. lit o'clock in the morning he went OB deck. He came down almost immediate- ly and told me he h.id seen a light, 1 start- ed up with him. Others joined us. He pointed off to the distance. Then we saw what looked like a tiny star. It rose out of Uie blackness of the night and disappeared. It rose and fell thus time and again. ' It is our star of Bethlehem,' we said. How we watched it until it came in view all the time : That ship looked inmeusa. It seemed to tower high above us. In reality w were live times big. " A tatter ship could no', have been sent. It was not strong enough to part ths two cable* that it made fast to us. A larger ship would have done it, and we might have been worse off thaa we were before. " Our danger was not over. The strain on our minds was almost as great, and minds g*ve way under it. Two woman Iwcame . ..i-ntly insane, snd it wa* necessary to confine them. One lady from Milwaukee, who was in the second cabin, had her two children with her. She sat for forty-eight hours after the Lake Huron came with tncm on the bed opposite her. She >poke not a word but looked at them. There was among the passengers a Jew who had wanted to come to America to better his fortune. His family had opposed him and he fled without their knowledge. He becam imbued with the idea that he was a Jonah : that (iod was punishing Him and was to sink the ship be- cause he wa* in it. " He came m:o the cabin and confessed to the passengers and bade them do with him an they wished. He fell on his knees and prayed, imploring Jehovah to forgive him, and promising to make amends if the hip was only saved. " But the saddest ease of all was that of Paul Karnsler, a young man from Vienna. He was engaged to be married to a beautiful young woman, and he had her photograph with him. He ha. i confided in an American lady. He said to her one morning : 'Madam, the ship will sink. It is inhuman for this great ship to drag down with her the ship that is 'omg her best to save her. When we go down we will pull her down with us. She cannot help it ' The woman was over- come, and sought the Captain. He told her that there was no longer any danger. The next morning the young man again talked to her. Suddenly he left her and ran to the side. His purpose WM divined. Men seized him, but he tore himself loose. They seized him again. Again he escaped them, and with a shriek he plunged over and sank from oar sight. " There was no religious meeting after the one I have .old you of, but the people prayed. We did not talk of religion again for the same reason that we had not talked of it before. It brought out again the same exclamation. Those of in who were of good heart talked to the others and div-rt.-.l their minds. I never told so many stories before in my life, and they were not reli- gions stories either. " When we were finally safe in port we had a thanksgiving servi.-e, and then such linging a* there was uch praises that went up were good to the heart It was truly a thanksgiving. We took up a collection and gave it to the ship's crew and to the second- cabin passengers, who had lost all they had. ' What was your prayer that was answer- ed V asked the reporter. " We prayed that the *hip b brought tr a haven, and relief came on the night at*er our prayer meeting " Beside* the Spree's passengers who re- turned on the r'trnria that ship carried t;i 131 nek* of mail the Spree had on board. A good deal of it had been soaked m water for a week and a good deal of printed mat- ter will have to be destroyed. But all thr letters, the Address of which can be deciphered will be delivered.

If every good resolution which will be made this year were to be printed, with an account of the circumstances which led to it, what a mountain of interesting volumes there would be ' If each volume were to he removed a* soon a* the resolution printed was broken, how rapidly would t moun- tain descend to the proportion* of a mole hill ' If everyone owning a broken resolu- tion were to allow it to prevent him fr .in making another, to what a deplorable con- dition wouldshu inanity soon descend ' resolutions are acknowledged faults, and therefore it i* well to make them, evtn though human nature may be too weak to keep them. There is a itory of a drunkard who, on rainy succeeding New Year days had made a resolution to take no more strong drink, and on one occasion he wa* bantered quite mercilewly by his companion* when he made his aunnal announcement, and asked to imnt the number oi tunes it had already been broken l-r a few moments the old man was buried in thought, then his face lighted up hopefully as he made reply "Wa'al, pards, slid o' Kiltin' m* scour- aged. you've perked pie up ri.'ht smart. : for I've just thought as how the first year I broke my resolution in an h.iur : the second year, I ksp' it all d .> : third year, two day* ; last year a whole week, an tb's year I'm goiu' ter break the record or burt '. If 1 keep peggin' away at it, that there resolu- tion will amount to soincthin' yet." So lot us all look at our resolutions a* something that may gome day nmount to something if we only hav courage to "keep peggm' away at them. ' A bright little girl wa* once talked to very seriously because she had broken her New Year resolution. "\e\er mind, mamma. " she replied cheerfully, "I'll mend it ind ii will be an good as new ; and mended things lant for- ever, you know ' ' It wa* a repetition of a remark made by the mother, the day before, over a broken doll, and t* applied by the little maiden, is certainly worth a second thought to ihnsr who are so unfortunate a* to have broken resolutions to cause them unhappmees. HEALTH. UMM of Poisoning Hardly any emergency is more common accidental poutoumg, and scarcely any event or iu.-identil combination of cir- cumstance ills for nmra immediate action and special treatment Poisons are sub- stances .material factors) which when intro- duced into a living organism, are capable, p-r f, of exerting a di-leterious, morbid, or deadly action upon that organism. By thin dflniitniu it will be seen that when speaking of poisons we mean not only drugs which produce toxic effects when taken into the stomach, but also those poisonous agents which act by absorption eveu when applied to thin delicate mcmbruiea upon the aster- nal surface of the body as septic materi- al*, syphilitic and diphtheritic poison,etc ; also those agent* which, when introduced through the respiratory tract, occasion toxic results, and those which must he intro- duced directly into the circulation through a wound it, the tU'sa or other abrasion as the poison of insects, the venom of scorpion* and serpents, the Indian arrow poison, and l that of raj>id animal*. .Space will not permit of more than a brief outline of the ' t best coursM to pursue in the most common cases of poisoning. The treatment of pois- [ onous wound*, asphyxiation, etc., ha* al- ready been considered in previous chapters of this series. In a given case of poisoning, two impor- tant quealions to consider are : " What toxic principle V'i.?., What kind fortuj, sulphuric (oil of vitriol): Large draught* of soap-suds administers! at once: lime-water, chalk anil water; magnesia and the carbonate* of mafueaia; milk, oil, and thick gruel.

We reached the high ground Iwfore meeting any Ham*, and we were greatly rejoiced to see that iruteh of the grass was Hill tairly green here, though thickly bestrewn with patches of longer grass that was dry.

We dashed through the lineof tlame, surieruig brief tortures of suffo- cation, and a evere stinging and smarting of our eye*, caused by the intense heat and pungent smoke. Once through, we congratulated ourselves on the hope that we should yet escape : for, going in this direction, right in the teeth ot th* wind, we could t ravel more rapidly than the pursuing flame*. \\ hile passing through the fire, I recalled the proverb " It's an ill wind that blows no- to extremities, mustard poultice over heart.

Not- times the patient who alone knows the desired facts, is unconscious and unable to give information : again, the strength of a drug administered or the amount of the pouonoui agent* consumed are often inde- terminable ; and for these and similar rea- sons it is important to formulate certain general directions universally applicable to ease* of poisoning. First of all induce \otniting or wash out the stomach providing, of >-our*e,ihe poison ha* been swallowed and bus entered the stomach. As the stomach-pump and l.ivage- tube are only to b employed by profes- sional hands, directions for their use given in hot water and in large quantities; or iluiyred iron may i* given in half-ounce dose* repeatedly.

Some further quick conversation informed us that they, like ourselves, had seized an oppor- tunity to penetrate the line of tlame, think- mg thus to escape. We all were now inclosed in a gradually narrowing ring of fire. To clear the space around us by ourning off the grass lu start a " Itack-tire," as it is called was our only chance for safety : and tax we attempted. A large space was cleared before the on- coming fire reached us. We hoped to escape with but aiuged eyebrows, and a few moments of suffocation ; and this we would have considered a fortunate deliverance.

The St. Ihom.vs .Journal says : "The attempt to centralize th* western wal business in London is open to objection. It makes little difference to a western lawyer whether he has to go to Toronto or 'xmdon if he must leave his own town. A better reform would be to constitute each county town trt- headquarters for all county busi- ness, except appeals from the hval judges. which should be nude in Toronto." This is , the kind of decentralization London does I not want, because it would not profit by it.
