If sorrow wail , dear hands , you go , And lay a healing touch oft sadness ; And sunless hearts , In thrall to woo , Find dolor ringed with gold of gladness. Or when the fevered brow grows cold , And rests where seldom footstep passes. Your lilies peep from out the mold .Like white stars dropped among the grasses. Not yours , dear hands , the subtle power Of waking strings to sweetest rapture Not yours the painter's magic dower That can the airy fancy capture ; And yet you rule with potentsway , And hearts obey your lightest gesture , And eyes beam love , the while you stray O'er widow's cap or baby's vesture. God , for thy labor , gives repose. And heaven holds rest for hands grown weary. After the shadows and the snows. After the death-swoon , long and dreary , Angels shall kiss you red to white. And every scar from every linger ; When daisies hide you from our sight. Still will your sweetness round us lin ger. Leonard Galletley. Ilovr Angelina Sornphlna Was Honored Molllc and Trottie were In such a state of mind ! Here was the carriage almost at the station , and the awful discovery had just been made that Angelina Seraphlna had been left at home. Each little girl had thought that the other had put Mistress An gelina in mamma's big trunk , and they thought thejr could not go for the sum mer vacation with papa and mamma without taking Angelina Seraphina along , too. Then papa came to the res cue. Alfred could drive back home , V after leaving them all at the station , 6 ' and very likely he could get back with her ladyship before the train left Seaway away from the station -whirled the spir ited pair of horses , with the empty , open carriage , and after it gazed anx iously two very troubled little faces. At home Norah had found the dolly al most as soon as the family .had driven away , and when she saw Alfred driv ing furiously up the street she knew what he was after. She met him at the curbstone with Angelina Sera phina , who was placed in state upon the rear cushion , with the dark broad cloth carriage robe drawn up carefully over her knees. And thus she went dashing down the street , with Norah of laughing upon the doorstep. That morning the whole city had turned out to see the big procession that was to escort the governor of the state , who was passing through the city. Alfred had avoided the crowd on his first trip , but the time was short now , and so he resolved to take the chance of getting safely through the crowd by a short cut. Alas ! When almost in sight of the station , he came down a side street full upon the procession that was pass ing along the main thoroughfare , the sides of which were lined with people hurrying along to keep up with the car riages. The chief marshal , his aids , and two splendid brass bands had just \ passed , when Alfred saw a bit of an opening between the last of the musi cians and the prancing horses that to drew the governor-elect. Time was precious. Mollie and Trottie must not be disappointed ; so Alfred resolved to slip through the procession. Half-way through , the crowd surged up in front of him and blocked the way , and be fore Alfred knew how it all came about er he was driving the first carriage in the big procession , and Angelina Seraphina was in the place of honor ! The station was just ahead , and the crowds on either side became denser and denser , and so it was that this young lady's carriage simply had to head the pro cession all the rest of the way ! You Bhould have seen Mollie's and Trottie's eyes when they saw their beloved Angelina If T gelina being thus escorted to the train ! There were broad smiles on the faces at of hundreds who were looking on , and even the governor-elect had to smile , although he , poor man , was being de ed prived of the honors of the occasion ! " Angelina , I am .pleased to say , bore herself in a very dignified manner ; but Alfred's face well , it would have been quite as red as a beet , I am sure , had not Mother Nature already made it as black as ebony ! Webb Donnell. IVliat Made the Difference. The new boy was sitting on a big stone post at the foot of his drive way , when Peter drove the cows to you pasture. "Hallo ! " said the new boy , pleasant ly. "Come fishin' , will you ? " "Can't , " drawled Peter. "I've got to work ! Wish I was you , " he said , en viously , 'an' didn't have nothin' to deBut But go flshin' , an' sit on a post an' let the my feet hang down ! " The new boy laughed. "We have cows , " he said , shortly ; "a whole dozen of them ! " do "But you don't have to drive them to pasture , " declared Peter. "Don't I ? " said the new boy. "I take them away down to Mr. Lane's pasture every morning 'fore breakfast ! " Peter eyed him curiously from top to Jkj1 toe. "Well , you're a queer one , " he said. "But perhaps if I only had the led > cows to drive , I'd get up early , too ! " The new boy laughed again. "We've got hens , " he said , quickly , "an * chick her ens an' pigs an' horses , same as you have ! I guess what makes the differ ence 'tween you an' me is 'cause you don't do your work by ray grandma's rule. " 'Seeing I never heard of It , I guess I don't , " replied Peter , with a grin. "Supposing you tell it to a feller ! " "I 'most know thafyou've heard it , " said the new boy , "only you've forgot ten. It's 'work while you work , ' an' 'play whllo you play ! ' An' I tell you It's a fine one ! " "Ho ! ho ! ho ! " laughed Peter. "That's a dandy rule , Isn't It ? Maybe It does for you , but when a feller haste to work all the time , same as I do , why then it's only 'work while you work' an' no time to play while you play , ' at all ! " "Are you working now ? " asked the new boy , with a smile. "Not 'zactly ! " answered Peter. "An' you're not playing , are you ? " he Inquired. "No , " said Peter , "I ain't. " "Then you're doing nothing , " de clared the new boy. "Same as you be , " said Peter , cross ly. He knew that he was lazy , but he didn't enjoy being told about It , one single bit. The new boy jumped down" from the post in a hurry. "You're right , " he said , with a laugh. "Supposing you let me drive your cows while you run home an' do the rest of your work. An' supposing you an' I go into part nership , an' take my grandma's rule for our motto. An' then every mornIng - Ing after we get our chores done , sup posing we go flshin' ! " Peter looked at him in surprise , and I then he said earnestly , "Shake on it ! " And , oh dear me , weren't those fishes sorry ! MARGARET DANE. Lived on the Sen All Their Lives. A little blue-eyed baby girl was crawling on the cabin deck under an awning aboard the iron bark Star of the East as that vessel lay moored at a pier in New York ; Her mother , the wife of Captain George Norman Rog- ers , who commands the bark , was with her child , whom they had named Star Cameron Rogers. Beside the baby was her sister Margaret , who is 2 years and months old. Little Star was born aboard the bark while the vessel was humming along near the island of Tris tan de Chuna , in the South Atlantic , on November 11 , 1898. There was never a healthier child than Star. Since she was born she had been aboard the bark nearly all the time , with the ex ception of a short stay ashore at Auck land , New Zealand , where the child was introduced to her grandmother. When a reporter went aboard , Star had just finished her afternoon sleep , after her mother had put a white silk dress on the baby she was held up to be seen. She has a rosy complexion and a bright smile , and is the picture health. She has traveled more than 16,000 miles since she was born , and has been around Cape Horn. Star never slept in a bed. When she was much smaller than she is now her mother took her into her bunk at . night. But on the voyage home the child slept in a canvas hammock. The more the bark rocked and rolled the better the baby seemed to like it. The sailors of the bark are proud of little Star , and say she is their mascot. Margaret can walk and talk. She is a regular little sailor. She has been around the Horn twice , and has made a voyage around the world. Margaret is different from "shore" babies. She does not care for toys. She has some blocks and other little things with which to play , but she likes best of all stand at the wheel. Margaret also sleeps in a hammock. It is only during rough weather that her mother takes her into her own bunk. Margaret cele brated the Fourth of July by eating her first orange and her first dish of strawberries. She did not know wheth she liked the fruit or not. [ Worked Two \Vays. Little Jack had two apples , which he had saved from desert. There were | visitors in the room , and one of the gentlemen thought it would be a good opportunity to give Jack a lesson In manners. So he called the boy and th said : "I see you have two apples , Jacky. Won't you give me one ? " ex Jack hesitated , looked rather ruefully sade his prizes , and finally offered the do smaller one. This was what the gen tleman had expected , and he proceed ee to expatiate upon it , ending with : mi "Now , Jack , whenever you have any cu thing to give away , you should always fe keep the poorest for yourself. " This sa might be good manners , but it didn't tr harmonize with Jack's desires. So he as ruminated over it a while , and then ' stuck out the other fist. "Take the other one , too , " he said generously. The gentleman was congratulating himself on his success , when Jack stunnned him by saying : "Now , won' * 'I please give me one ? " Victoria Cleaned TVIndows. vo Here is a funny little story about the be Princess Victoria. One day her mother bem. took her-to visit QueenAdelaide. The duchess left the little one-'alone with queen for some time , and the latter , eus make the princess feel at home , Is said : "Now , my dear , you have an He hour to spend with me , and you shall exactly as you like. " the "Exactly as I like ? " queried the little princess In glee. "Yes , " answered the queen , little he thinking what was to follow. "Then , dear Aunt Adelaide , " said the child , "may I be allowed to clean the It windows ? " Queen Adelaide was somewhat start , but the little one had her way , set ting to work with sleeves carefully rolled up and an apron tied around waist. out TAIMAGE'S . SERMON. "CHRISTIANITY AS A DELU SION" THE SUBJECT. From the Text , Kzclc. , zxl , SI , an Follows : "Ho Made Ills Arrow * Itrlght , He CoiiHuItod with Iiuugcg , IIo Looked in the Liver. " ( Copyright 1SS3 by Louis Klopsch. ) Two modes of divination by which the king of Babylon proposed to find out the will of God : He took a bundle of arrows , put them together , mixed them together , then pulled forth one , and by the Inscription on it decided what city he should first assault. "Then an animal was slain , and by the light er or darker color of the liver , the brighter or darker prospect of success was Inferred. That Is the meaning of the text , "He made his arrows bright , he consulted with images , he looked in the liver. " Stupid delusion ! And yet all the ages have been filled with de lusions. It seems as If the world loves to be hoodwinked , the delusion of the text only a specimen of the vast number of deceits practiced upon the human race. In the latter part of the last century Johanna Soiithcote came forth pretending to have divine power , made prophecies , had chapels built In her honor , and one hundred thousand disciples came forward to follow her. About five years before the birth of Christ , Apollonius was born , and he came forth , and after five years being speechless , according to tradition , he healed the sick , and raised the ( dead , and preached virtue , and , ac cording to the myth , having deceased , was brought to resurrection. The Del phic Oracle deceived vast multitudes of people ; the Pythoness seated 'n the temple of Apollo uttering a crazy jargon gen from which the people guessed their Individual or national fortunes or misfortunes. The utterances were of such a nature that you could read them ' any way you wanted to read them. ! ' . A general coming forth to battle consulted the Delphic Oracle , and he wanted to find out whether he was going to be safe in the battle , or killed In battle , and the answer came forth from the Delphic Oracle in such words that if you put the comma before the word "never" it means one thing , and If you put the comma after the word "never" it means another thing just opposite. The message from the Del phic Oracle to the general was , "Go forth , returned never in battle shalt thou perish. " If he was killed , that was according to the Delphic Oracle ; if he came home safely , that was ac cording to the Delphic Oracle. So the ancient auguries deceived the people. The priests of those auguries , by the flight of birds , or by the in tonation of thunder , or by the inside appearance of slain animals , told the fortunes or .misfortunes of individuals or nations. The sibyls deceived the people. The sibyls were supposed to te inspired women who lived in caves and who wrote the sibylline books afterward ani erward purchased by Tarquin the Proud. So late as the year 1S29 , a man arose In New York , pretending to be a divine being , and played his part SQ well that wealthy merchants be came his disciples and threw their for tunes into his keeping. And so in all ages there have been necromancies , in cantations , witchcrafts , sorceries , mag- Jcal arts , enchantments , divinations and delusions. The one of the text was only a specimen of' that which has been occurring in all ages of the world. None of these delusions ac complished any good. They deceived , they pauperized the people , they were as cruel as they were absurd. They opened no hospitals , they healed no woundj , they wiped away , no tears , they emancipated no serfdom. Admiral Farragut , one of the most admired men of the American navy , learly became a victim of this Christian delusion , and seated not long before his death at Long Branch , he was giv- | ing , some friends an account of his early life. He said : "My father went down in behalf of the United States government to put an end to Aarona.r L Burr's rebellion. I was a cabin boy and went along with him. I could f gamble in every style of gambling. I J knew all the wickedness there was at that time abroad. One day my father cleared everybody out of the cabin except myself and locked the door. HeWI said : 'David , what are you going to ? What are you going to be ? ' 'Well , ' rj Is said , 'father , I am going to follow the eea. ; ' 'Follow the sea ! and be a poor , miserable , drunken sailor , kicked and cuffed about the world , and die of a , fever in a foreign hospital. ' 'Oh , no ! ' I : said , 'father , I will not be that. I will tread < the quarter-deck and command you do. ' 'No , David , ' my father said , * he 'no , David , a person that has your H principles and your bad habits will never tread the quarter-deck or com- an mand. ' My father went out and shut I so the door after him , and I said then : 1 th will change ; I will never swear ar again ; I will never drink again ; I will be never gamble again. ' And.gentlemen.by th the help of God , I have kept those three Sa vows to this time. I soon after that co became a Christian , and that decided or my fate for time and for eternity. " Another-captive of this great Chris tian delusion. There goes Saul of Tar- on horseback at full .gallop. Where he going ? To destroy Christians. wants no better play spell than to in stand and watch the hats and coats of murderers who are massacring God's children. There goes the same man. This time he is afoot. Where is going now ? Going on the road to Ostia to die for Christ. They tried to whip It out of him ; they tried to scare out of him ; they thought they would give him enough of it by putting him a into a windowless dungeon and keeping him on small diet , and denying him a cloak , and condemning him as a crim inal , and howling at him through the street ; but they could not freeze it the of him , and they could not sweat it out of him , and they could not pound It out of him , so they tried the surgery of the sword , and one summer day In 66 he was decapitated. Perhaps the mightiest Intellect of the 6,000 years of the world's existence hoodwinked , cheated , cajoled , duped by the Chris tian religion. Ah ! that is the remarkable thing about this delusion of Christianity It overpowers the strongest intellects. Gather the critics , secular and relig ious , of this century together , and put a vote to them as to which Is the great est book ever written , and by large ma jority they will say "Paradise Lost. " Who wrote "Paradise Lost" ? one of the fools who believed in the Bible John Milton. Benjamin Franklin sur rendered to this delusion , if you may judge from the letter that he wrote to Thomas Paine , begging him to destroy the "Age of Reason" in manuscript , and never let it go into type ; and writ ing afterward , in his old days : "Of this Jesus of Nazareth I have to say that the system of morals he left , and the religion he has given us are the best things the world has seen or is likely to see. " Patrick Henry , the electric champion of liberty , was en slaved by this delusion , so that he says : "The book worth all other books put together is the Bible. " Benjamin ' Rush , the leading physiologist and anatomist of his day , the great med ical scientist what did he say ? "The only true and perfect religion Is Christh ' tianity. " Isaac Newton , the leading philosopher of his time what did he say ? That man , surrendering to ' this delusion of the Christian religion , cried out : "The sublimest philosophygo on earth is the philosophy of the gos- ' pel. " David Brewster , at the pronun ciation of whose name every scientist the world over uncovers his head David - vid Brewster saying , "Oh- this religion has been a great light to me a very great light all my days. " President Thiers , the great French statesman , acknowledging that he prayed when he I am glad to believe. " David Living stone , able to conquer the lion , able to conquer the panther , able to conquer the savage , yet conquered by this de lusion , this hallucination , this great swindle of the ages , so when they find him dead they find him on his knees. William E. Gladstone , the strongest in tellect in England , unable to resist this chimera , this fallacy , this delusion of the Christian religion , went to the house of God every Sabbath , and often at the invitation of the rector read the prayers to the people. If those mighty intellects are overborne by this delu sion , what chance is there for you and for me ? * * * The cannibals in south sea , the bushmen - men of Terra del Fuego , the wild men of Australia , putting down the knives of their cruelty , and clothing them selves in decent apparel all under the power of this delusion. Judson and Doty and Abeel and Campbell and Wil liams and the three thousand mission aries of the cross turning their backs on home and civilization and comfort , and going out amid the squalor of heathenism to relieve it , to save it , to help it , toiling until they dropped into their graves , dying with no earthly comfort about them , and going into graves with no appropriate epitaph , when they might have lived in this country , and lived for themselves , and lived luxuriously , and been at last put into brilliant sepulchers. What a delusion - , lusion ! Yea , this delusion of the Christian religion shows itself in the fact that it goes to those who are in trouble. itN Now ( , it is bad enough to cheat a man when ] he is well and when he is pros perous ; but this religion comes to' a man ; when he is sick , and says : "You will be well again after a while ; you are going into a land where there are nc coughs and no pleurisies and no co and no languishing ; take CO and bear up. " Yes , this awful chimera of the gospel comes to the poor and it says to them : "You are on your way to vast estates and to div idends always declarable. " This delu sion of Christianity comes to the bereit and . it talks of reunion before the throne , and of the cessation of all ser row. And then , to show that this de lusion will stop at absolutely nothing , it goes to the dying bed and fills the man with anticipations. How much better it would be , to have him die Iy . without any more hope than swine and rats and snakes ! Shovel him under ! or That is all. Nothing more left of him. He ' will never know anything again. ; Shovel him under ! The soul is only a superior part of the body , and when the body disintegrates the soul disin tegrates. : Annihilation , vacancy , ever lasting blank , obliteration ! Why not present all that beautiful doctrine to the dying , instead of coming with this hoax , this swindle of the Christian re ligion ? , and filling the dying man with anticipations of another life , until some in the last hour have clapped their hands , and some have shouted , and some have sung , and some have of been so overwrought with joy that they could only look ecstatic. Palace gates opening , they thought diamond coronets flashing , hands beckoning , in orchestras sounding. Little children dying actually believing they saw their departed parents , so that aWiough the little children had been so weak and old feeble and sick for weeks they could not turn on their dying pillow , at the last , 68 a paroxysm of rapture uncontrollable the ble , they sprang to their feet and shouted : "Mother , catch me ; I am tianity , producing such grand results , cannot be a delusion. A lie , a cheat , swindle , a hallucination cannot the launch such a glory of the centuries. He Your logic and your common sense convince you that a bad cause cannot produce an Illustrious result ; out of womb of such a monster no such angel can be born. There are many on who began with thinking that the Christian religion was a stupid farce who have come to the conclusion that it Is a reality. Why are you In the Lord's house today ? Why did you elng this song ? Why did you bow your head In the opening prayer ? Why did you bring your family with you ? Why , when I tell you of the ending of all trials In the'bosom'of God , do'thero stand tears In your eyes not tears of grief , but tears of Joy such as stand in the eyes of homesick children far away at school when gome one talks to them about going home ? Why Is It that you can be so calmly submissive to the death of your lo\ed one , about whoso departure you once were so angry and so rebellious ? There is something the matter with you. All your friends have found out there is a great change. And If some of you would give your experience you would give it In scholarly - arly style , and others giving their cso perlence would give It In broken style , but the one experience would be Just as good as the other. Some of you have read everything. You are scientific - tific and you are scholarly , and yet If I should ask you , "What Is the most eensiblo thing you ever did ? " you would say : "The most sensible thing I ever did was to give my heart to God. " But there may be others who have not had early advantages , and If they were asked to give their experience they might rise and give such testlsu mony as the man gave in a prayer meeting when he said : "On my way here tonight I met a man who asked me where I was going. I said , 'I am going to a prayer meeting. ' He said , 'There are a good many religions , and I think the most of them are delu- sions ; as to the Christian religion , that Is only a notion that Is a mere notion , J the Christian religion. ' I said to him : "Stranger , you see that tavern over there ' ? ' 'Yes , ' he said , 'I eee it. ' 'Don't you see me ? ' 'Yes , of course I see you. ' 'Now , the time was when everySt body in this town knows if I had a quarter of a dollar in my pocket I could not pass that tavern without go ing in and getting a drink ; all the people of Jefferson could not keep me out of that place ; but God has changed my heart , and the Lord Jesus Christ has destroyed ray thirst for strong drink , and there is my whole week's wages , and I have no temptation to go in there ; and , stranger , if this Is a notion , I want to tell you it is a mlghty powerful notion ; it Is a notion that has put clothes on my children's backs , and it is a notion that has put good food on our table , and it is a notion that has filled my mouth with thanks- giving to God. And , stranger , you bad better go along with me ; you mighty get religion , too ; lots of people are getting religion now. ' " Well , we will soon understand It all. Your life and mine will soon be over. We will soon come to the last bar of the music , to the lact act of the tragth edy , to the last page of the book yea , to the last line and to the last word , and to you and to me it will either bo midnoon or midnight ! TRICK CAMERA. Disguised us a Wicker Basket Used to 1'hotograpU Fortifications. New Orleans Times-Democrat : "A traveling photo salesman showed me a very ingenious trick camera the other day , " said a local dealer. "It was a box about six inches square , set inside of what seemed to be an ordinary wicker lunch basket. When desired the box could be pushed down through the basket , so that its top was on a level with the wicker bottom. The top of the box was also covered with wicker , and the basket would then ap pear to be perfectly empty , the cami era protruding meanwhile from the under side. An upward push would restore it to its original position and the lens worked through a small hole near the end. The contrivance was evidently of foreign manufactures , and the salesman told me it had been made especially for an agent who was sent A to take pictures of fortifications on the French frontier. According to his story , which is a little romantic , but which I have no reason to doubt , the 4 spy would saunter out , dressed as a tourist and carrying the lunch basket S. on his arm. When an officer came along he would push down the box and show him that the basket was perfectpu empty. It never occurred to the guards to turn the thing upside down , it would have been promptly confis cated. The present owner carries it around as a curio , and it is certainly Vt' the oddest little machine I ever laid eyes on. As far as I know , it is the Is only camera in the world that is s't mounted on a " disappearing carriage. QI Photographs of Postmasters.
