That Returned on a New

jUEN the Hunt

Hillport, from
nobody knows
where, tbe gene
ral sentiment of
the town was one
of disapproba
tion. They had
no end of boister
ous, half-clad,
uncared-for chil
dren, who ran
wild over even
the most sacred
precincts of the village. These young
savages were no respecters of persons.
They whooped and shouted under the
very windows of Judge Jones, whose
name usually inspired fear in tho breast
of largo or small. Hihportcrs. "or did
they btand in awo of ministers of the

In truth, tliej- did not know the uses of
a church, beyond the fact that it was a
lot of fun to throw stones at it while
people v.ero within on Sunday morn

a creature whose long-tailed coat af
forded glorious opportunities for deco
ration which made laughter for the dec
orators? These were tho baso uses to
which the Hunter children put sacred
leings and buildings. They did dozens
of other things equally hateful in the
eyes of the respectable portion of tbe
community; but with all their mischiev
ous instincts their depredations were
never absolutely flagrant and unendur
able.

forlorn condition of the young savages.
particularly when it became known
that their father was a shiftless soul.
who loafed three days for every one he
worked, and that their mother had lost
whatever spirit or energy she had once
possessed and Tas now merely enduring
existence until it ended. And as for
poverty, Hillporters had never really
known what it was until the Hunters
enlightened them.
One of tho few persons who felt sorry
to seo the little Hunters grow up so
neglected was Mrs. Raynor, whoso
tirettv home was not far from their
dreary dwelling. She made tho ac
quaintance of all of 'there, but had
taken a particular fancy to six-year-old
Ruth, a nrettv child, with much sweet
ness and irentlencss in her face and
voice. Indeed, to look at Ruth ono
could not realizo that sho had been
born to neglect, poverty and all the un
happy results these two evils breed.
Mrs. Raynor helped tho poor httle
untaught soul to many an innocent
pleasure and some substantial comforts.
One raw autumn day sho met Ruth on
the street in tears.
"What's tho matter, Ruthie?" asked
the kind lady.
"1-1-1 want to go to school and h-have
warm clothes like o-o-other little girls,'.
sobled Ruth, shivering in her thin and
rajred gown. "I-I"m so tired of being
hungry and cold.
This blunt confession smoto 3Irs
Raynor to the heart.
"Don't cry. child, don't cry. I'll see if
you can't have some warm clothes and
go to school." and she took Ruth by tho
hand and led her home.
That evening Mrs. Raynor said to her
husband: "George, 1 want to bring little
Ruth Hunter here, put somo decent
clothes on her and send her to school
this winter with our children. My heart
aches for tho poor neglected little
thing."
Mr. Raynor arched his eyebrows re
provingly. "You'll bo sure to rue phi-
lanthrnnr of that kind, mv dear. Its a
riskv thins to brine a barbarian like
hnr amnmr civilized beinsrs. You don't
know how she might injure our own
children."
"I'll look closely after all of thorn."
said Mrs. Raynor. "Why, tho poor lit
tle thing has had no chance to be any
thing but a barbarian. I believe there's
plenty of good in her if some one would
take the trouble to develop it. Besides,
I believe wo all commit a sin when wo

see children growing up like savages
before our eyes and never lift a finger
to save them. Our duty does not end
with looking after our own."
"Well, well, have it your own way,"
said Mr. Raynor. "I, too. "feel sorry
for the poor little waif; but I hope yon
will not ruo it."
Next morning Mrs. Raynor went to
the Hunters to ask for Ruth. "What

she had heard' Mrs. Raynor's request
"Do as ye liko about it," said the
fond father. "Young uns are most too
thick around here."
"Well, ye ken take her," said Mrs.
Hunter noddinjf to "Mrs. Raynor, ,am
if she don't liko it over there among
jrour young uns she can come back any
day." This was said in the most inde
pendent and airy fashion, as though
there was every possibility that Ruth
might not liko lifo in the Raynor fam

Mrs. Raynor smiled as she thanked
Mrs. Hunter, and thea she took Ruth
home with her.
The child was overjoyed. Nice clothes
and kindness seem dereieped her self
respect, and she loved aer benefactress

surprising rapidity: .The winter went

aad a very sweet and lovely Ruth she
naa grown to Be. tier comiort ana joy,
however, were soon to end. One day
her mother came over to the Raynors
and told Ruth that they, the Hunters,
were about to move 4"eat West," and she
must go with them. Tears and en-
treaties were of no avail. Tho misera-
ble, ignorant woman had long been
jealous of Ruth's affection for Mrs.
Raynor, and she now declared that Ruth
must come home and share the fortunes
of the family. So the poor child went
sway with her unlovely family into a
lifo that was hateful to her. For a time
she wrote frequently to Mrs. Raynor,
but as the years went by letters came
less frequently, and at last, after the
Raynors removed to another town, they
ceased to hear from Ruth altogether
Time moved on and brought sad
changes to tho Raynors. Ono by one
tbe rosy-cheeked children sickened and
.died, and Mr. Raynor soon followed
them. Mrs. Raynor found herself alone
and penniless, for her husband's affairs
were in a bad way,' and. his property
had been seized by his creditors.
She struggled for a time,'bnt sickness
eventually overpowered her, and, as she
was destitute, she was taken to the
almshouse.
Here, on New Year's morning she lay,
helpless and sick at heart She put her
thin hand over her eyes to hide the
tears of humiliation which trickled
slowly over her cheeks. Silently she
asked herself how she had sinned that
sho must be punished thus? Had she
not always given out kindness wher
ever and whenever she could? Had not
her heart always been full of pity,
mercy and charity, and her hands ready
to help the needy? Yet hero she was,
ill, old and a pauper, a recipient of pub
lic alms. "It is greater than I can
bear," sho groaned, as tho full force of
her humiliation came uponjser.-?-
Somebody began to sing in the next
room. It was poor old !Xancyr one of
tho county's fccblo-miaded children.
In a quavering voice she song:
Bread upon tho waters cast
Shall be gathered at the last."
The words blazed before tbo brain of
Mrs. Raynor and she repeated them
doubtingly:
"Bread upon the waters cast
Shall be gathered at the last.
Ah, but it was not true tho promise
in these words was not true, it was not
true. Had she not cast her bread upon
the waters in deeds of kindness, again
and again? Yet here sho was, forsaken.
The tears gushed forth anew tears ol
THE DOOK OPENED SOFTXV.
such misery as many an eye which has
known sorrow is still a stranger to.
The door opened softly. Somebody
entered, but Mrs. Raynor did not re
move her hand from her eyas.
"Mother," said an eager voice,
"Mother Raynor." ' "
Who could call her'mothor? Surely,
every voice that had a right to address
her "by that name was hushed in death.
Tbe next instant aTair of arms were
about her, and young lips were kissing
her faded ones. "Mother, -my true
mother, it is I, Ruth Hunter. Speak to
me."
After the first shock of joy was over,
Mrs. Raynor asked .Ruth how she
learned of her misfortune. It was
easily explained. Mention of tho fact,
that th6 county had taken charge of
Mrs. Raynor was made 'in one of tho
newspapers. A copy of tho paper con
taining this paragraph was wrapped
around an express package and sent
to tbo town in Missouri where Ruth
lived, and by accident fell into her
hands. After reading it she started at
once to find her former benefactress,
and never rested until she reached tho
alrm-house.
"And now, mother," she said, "you
are going with mo to live, for I am mar
ried and have a happy home in which
you shall be loved and cared for as long
as you live. I owe every thing of good
that has over come to me to your kind
ness in the past, and I am grateful for a
chance to repay you."
Mrs. Raynor lay quite still, too full of
gratitude and joy to speak.
"And this fs Xew Year's morning,"
said Ruth: ."Let me kiss you again for a
Happy New Year."
The words of old Nancy's song floated
in once more. How sweetly they sound
ed'to Mrs. Raynor's ears, cracked and
broken as was-the voice which-sang
them:
" Bread upon tbe waters cast
Shall be gathered at the last."
"Yes, the promise is true," sho mur
mured. "It shall be gathered at the last

Jammed and half strangulated. We are
rolling on and out and up the mountains
of Lebanon, their forehead under a
crown of snow, which coronet the fingers
of the hottest summer can not cast

around which is garlanded much of the

ing: "Tbe trees of Lebanon which He
hath planted."
The average height of this mountain
is 7.000 feet, but in one place it lifts its
bead to an altitude of 10,090. No higher
than 6,000 feet can vegetation exist, but
below that line at the right season are
vineyards, snd orchards, snd olive
groves, snd flowers that dash the
mountain sido with s very carnage of
color and 'fill the air with aromatlcs
that Hosea, the prophet, and Solomon,
the King, celebrated as "the smoll of
Lebanon."- At a height of 6,000 feet is
a grove of cedars, the only descendants
of those vast forests from which Solo
mon cut his timber for the temple at
Jerusalem and where at one time there
were 109,000 sxemen hewing out tbe

As we ride along these mountains of
tebanon, we bethink how its cedars
spread their branches, and breathe their
sroma, snd csst their shadows all
through the Bible. Solomon discoursed
about them ia his botanical works, when
he spoke of trees "from the cedar tree
that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop
thst springeth out of the walL" Tbe
psalmist says: "The righteous sbsll
grow like a cedar la Lebanon," and in
one of his magnificent' doxologies calls
on the cedars to praise the Lord. And
Solomon says the countenance of Christ
is excellent as the cedar's, and Isaiah
declares: "Tho day of the Lord shall
be upon alt the oedsrs of Lebanon."
As we ride over Lebanon to-day, there
is a howling wiad sweeping past snd a
dash-of raia, t01 the better enabling us
to appreciate thst description of a tem
pest which no doubt was suggested by
what David had soea with his owa eyes

The reason that,0 planted these

that wo ought, in r religious charac

the cedar, broad tanched as the cedar.

you, the cedars of Lebanon could not

dens They must have tbe gymnasium

troamother way for doveloping strong Chris-
tan character except by storms of
trouble I never heard of it
Men and women who hear this or read
this, instead of your grumbling because
you have it hard, thank God that you
are in just the best school for making
heroes and heroines. It is true both
for this world and the next Bock that

graduate him from that into a costly
high chair and give him a gold spoon;
send him to school wrapped in furs
enough for an arctic oxplorer; send him
through a college where he will not
have to study in order to get a diploma,
because -his father is rich; start him in
a profession where be begins with an
office, the floor covered with Axmin
ister, and a library of books in Russian
morocco, and an arm chair upholstered

But what has been the history of most
of the great cedars in merchandise, in
art in law, in medicine, in statesman

The Bible speaks of tbe snows of
Lebanon, snd st this season of tho year
the snows there must be treamendous.
The deepest snow ever seen in America
would be insignificant compared with
the mildest winter of saows on those
Lebanon mountains. The cedars catch
that skyfull of crystals on their brow
snd on their long arms Piled ud in
great hefts sre those snows, enough to
crush other trees to the ground, split
ting tho branches from the trunk aad
leaving them rent and torn never to

Ah, beloved brethren, no one makes

the envy or the chier public men of his

Howl fir tree for tho cedar is fallen! As
eminent instances of moral disaster
may be found in our own land and our
own time, instances that I do not reoite
lest I wound the feelings of those now
alive to mourn the shipwreck. Let
your indignation against the faUen
turn to pity.
A judge in one of our American courts
gives this experience: In a respectable
but poor family a daughter was getting
a musical education. Tbe father's means
were exhausted snd so great was his
anxiety to help hisdaughter that he fe
loniously took some money from his em
ployer, and going home to his laughter
said: "There is tho money to complete
your musical education." The wife
and mother suspected something wrong
and obtained from her husband the
whole story and that night went around
with her husband to Jhe merchant's
house and 'surrendered the whole
amount of the money and asked for
giveness. Forgiveness was denied and
tbe man was arrested. The judge,
knowing all tho circumstances and that
tho money had all been returned, sug
gested to the merchant he had better
let the matter drop for the sake of the
wife and the daughter. No! he would
not let it drop, and he did all he could
to make the case conspicuous and blast
ing. Tho judge says that afterward
that same inexorablo merchant was be
fore him for breaking tbe law of tho
land. It is a poor rulo that will not
work both ways Let him that standeth
take heed lest ho rail. Not congratula
tion, but tears when a cedar is fallen!
Yet there is ono cedar of Lebanon
that always has and always will over
top all others. It is tho Christ whom
Ezekiol describes as a goodly cedar,
and says: "Under it shall come all
fowl of every wing." Make your nest
in that great cedar. Then let the
storms beat and the oarth ro-k, and
timo end, and eternity begin, all shall
bo wolL
In my journey up and down Palestine
and Syria nothing more impressed me
than tbo trees the terebinths, the
sycamores, the tamarisks, the oleanders,
the mulberrys, tbo olives, the myrtles,
the palms, tbe cedars all of tbem ex
planatory or so much or tbe Scriptures.
And tbe time is coming when, through
an improved arboriculture, tbe round
world shall be circumfcrenced, engir
dled, embosomed, emparadised in shade
trees, and fruit trees, and flower trees.
Isaiah declares in one place: 'The
glory of Lebanon shall not be given
unto it," and in another place: "All the
trees of the field shall clap their hands
Instead of tho thorn shall come up the
fir tree. Instead of the brier shall come
up the myrtle tree."
O! I am so glad that the Holy Land
of Heaven like the Holy Land or Pales
tine and Syria, is a great place for trees,
an orchard or them, a grave or them, a
forest of them. Saint John saw them
along tbe streets, and on both sides the
rivor, snd every month they yielded a
great crop of fruit You know what an
imposing appearance trees give to a city
on earth, but how it exalts my ides of
Heaven when Saint John describes the
city on high as having its streets snd
rivers lined with them. O, the trees!
The trees!' The jasper walls, the
fountains, the temples were not enough.
There would have been something
wanting yet So to complete all
that pomp and splendor, I behold tho
upbranching trees of life. Not like
those stripped trees now around us,
which like banished minstrels through
the long winter night utter their dolor
ous lament or in the blast moan liko
lost spirits wandering up and down the
gale, but their leaf shall never wither.
Whether you walk on the banks or the
river you will be under trees, or by the
homes or martyrs under trees, or by the
heavenly temple under trees, or smong
the palace or the King immortal under
trees "Blessed are they that do His
commandments, that they may have,
right to the tree or Ufa" Stonewall
Jackon's dying utterance was beauti
fully suggestive: "Let us cross over
snd lie down under the trees!"
ELECTRICITY

MINING.
A Now Device For Detecting the
of aieUL
The Introduction or electricity into
mining operations has led to a new and
very ingenious application. A portable
device has been arranged whereby rocks
of all kinds can be immediately subject
ed to a test which will enable the miner
to determine the quantity and quality
of the metal they contain. For pros
pectors such a contrivance is invalu
able, as, consisting as it'does of simply
a battery and spark coil, ' with' two
platinum-pointed conductors Inclosed in
a hsndy box, it can be carried oa the
back and be available throughout the
wori of the longest day. Thea two?
nolnta of the conductors ara nlaceof:
against mw row, w in leetea-aaa a
spark is immediately formed, from, tha
flame and color of which Is gathered an
indication of the metal contained. It
is claimed thst the presence of metal
can be' detected by merely applying oao
electrode snd passing the. other rapidly
over the surface. The novJoe or "tender
foot" is said to havo just ss good: a
chance of successful prospecting with,
this aew device ss tho most expert
eaced miner. AU the troubles involved'
in tho loss' of a 'lead" in a shaft can
bow be avoided, as well as uncertainty
in tbo sorting of ores, tho difereace ia
which is reliably shown by the olectrio
flame.. The whole spparstms weighs
about ten poaads, aad an additional

Pulmonary Diceasc.
The lungs play a most important part in
the machinery of life. It is essential that
they should be kept in good repair. Nature
has endowed this organ of life with won
derful recuperative power. Many instances
are on record where the lungs have been shot
through with a leaden bulletaud the wound
quickly healing. Tbercforo none should
despair when they discover that their lungs
are affected. Frequently tbo lungs become
sore and ulcerated and by an ignorant doc
tor pronounced consumption and worthless
remedies applied, with serious results.
When tbe lungs feel sore and breathing
painful the proper remedy is Dr. John Bull's
Sarsaparillal Its tendency is to heal all
ulcerations either iutornal or external.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of

Takes 1000 people to buy
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
at 50 cents a bottle, to make
up $500.
One failure to cure would
take the profit from 4000
sales.
Its makers profess to cure
acold in the head," and even
chronic catarrh, and if they
fail they pay $500 for their
over-coiuidence,
Not in newspaper words
but in hard cask Think of
what confidence it takes to
put that in the papers and
tncati it.
Its makers believe in the
Remedy. Isn't it worth a
trial? Isn't any trial prefer
able to catarrh?
After all, the mild agencies
are the best. Perhaps they
work more slowly, but they
work surely. Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are an active
agency but quiet and mild.
They're sugar-coated, easy to
take, never shock nor derange
the system and half their pow
er is in the mild way in which
their work is done. Small
est, cheapest, easiest to take.
