Communities of men, whether cities,
6tates or nations, when they learn the
rule of right and justice, are on the road
to prosperous and wholesome living. A
living by the rule of right in any one
respect will form a nucleus for and an
incentive to right living in all respects;
and every person has at least some idea
of right no one is wholly wrong. By
cultivating this field as it should be cul
tivated, individuals and communities are
saved from going wrong, or from contin
uing in the wrong. Talmago in 'one of
his recent sermons remarks very truth
fully: "Start out with the idea that all

the only use you will ever be to the

word of mouth, by pen in your right
hand, by face illuminated with a divine
satisfaction. If this world is ever to be
taken for God it will not be by groans,
but by hallelujahs. If we could present

MARYLAND OYSTER TRADE.
I7ader a Democratic Adiuiniitratloii Its
Worst Conditions Were Experienced.
While in conversation with a friend
our discussion gradually drifted into
the subject of the general stato of busi
ness. He being from the great oyster
district of the stato of Maryland and
myself from tide water, Virginia, which
is also a great oyster producing country,
wo naturally talked over tho oyster busi
ness, when ho made the following state
ments: "I have been engaged in the oyster
trade in all its branches for tho past 15
years, and I have never seen anything
to equal the depression in it that pre
vails at tho present time."
I asked him, "In what respect?"
"In all respects," he answered, "bnt
especially in the price and sale of oys
ters. Why," he continued, "in years
gone by we scarcely ever took into con
sideration our markets on the oyster
rocks, always being sure of more than
we could supply and at prices averag
ing from 50 to 75 cents per bushel on
the oyster beds, but from the time there
was a prospect of having a Democratic
administration, and I was one that
clamored for it, our business has grad
ually decreased in all respects until the
present time, when you can go on tho
oyster rocks that used to be full of cus
tom, and where you used to see all tho
way from G to 12 large vessels waiting
to load, and now you may possibly seo
ouo or two small vessels, and they pay
ing from 25 to 33 cents per bushel,
and not anxious at thoso prices."
I then asked him if he thought the
administration had anything to do with
it.
His answer was: "Yes, but I havo
tried hard not to think so. I don't know
much about politics, but I claim to
have sonio good sense, and I know if I
want an article that I can get along
without, and I havo not got the money
with which to buy it, I am mighty apt
not to buy it, and that is the case with
our oyster eating people. They have got
nothing to do, and consequently no
money with which to buy oysters, and
they can do without oysters better than
they can some other things, and so they
do without them, and I guess I can do
without the Democrats hereafter."
"Well," I said, "that is your experi
ence in oysteriug for custom, but now
you havo got a vessel, and I suppose you
have just got a right to make some
money?"
"It will take but few words to an
swer that My vessel will not sell today
for 50 cents on the dollar of her valuo
two years ago on account of the dull
oyster trade. " B. Thinken.

A Scotch Story.
In the course of Chairman Wilson's
speech on the Wilson bill, delivered in
the house of representatives last Febru
ary, he told a story of a Scptchman who
had written to Sir Robert Peel, when
the latter was leading the cause of tariff
reform in England, protesting against
the lowering of the duties on herring.
The writer said he was afraid if the du
ty was lowered that the Norwegian fish
ermen would undersell him. The canny
Scot added that in every respect but
herring he was a thorough free trader.
Mr. Wilson pointed tho moral by say
ing that he hoped that no Democrat
would that day think more of his her
ring than he did of the great cause of
"tariff reform." We wonder if Mr.
Wilson remembered this story of his

When licv. Mr. Methuen was offered
a Montana bishopric, strong hopes of a
refusal were entertained by admirers
of that robust and popular divine. His
chances of a much more desirable pre
ferment, if he would but wait for it,
were on the one hand, considerable;
and on the other hand was his
daughter Evelyn.
Miss Methuen, an only unmarried
child, was not the one to suffer trans
portation to the bush, while she was
the one the very one to influence her
father's decision. So said those who
knew her, showing-, as usual, how
little they did know her.
For whatsoever was novel, roman
tic sounding, or unattractive to
her friends, most mightily attracted
Evelyn Methuen; and the Western
bishopric possessed all these merits.
Her friends were right about the girl's
influence in general with their beloved
minister; they did not overrate the
weight of her say in this particular
matter; but beyond this their fond cal
culations proved sadly adrift.
Evelyn never even paused to consider
the thing, say in the light of transpor
tation and live burial; she jumped at
it, and on this occasion she did not
jump back. Her father, who knew her,
gave her time for the customary re
bound. But this time she knew her
mind, and on the fifth day the world
learnt that the offer of this bishopric
(of which It had never heard before)
had been definitely accepted by the
Reverend Mr. Methuen.
Miss Methuen had done it, and ap
parently she knew no regrets. That
repentance at leisure, of which her
father had disquieting visions, founded
on past experiences of her, did indeed
become conspicuous, but only in a de
lightful manner. She was not, of
course, without a proper sorrow at de
parture; the spires at sunset made her
pensive; she duly cried when the
wrench came, but performed that
wrench strong mindedly, notwithstand
ing. This was her accredited char
acteristic, strength of mind. It enabled
her to tear herself away from the grand
old city for which she had an unaffected
veneration where she spent most of
her life, where her mother lay burled,
where two sisteri lived married; from
6ome precious Lyceum lectures, in the
middle of the Stoddard course;from her
own little room, made pretty with her
own hands at small cost from those
very young men who were foolish about
her at this time.
But though, to be sure, she had
never had absolute occasion for a re
fusal of marriage she would have re
fused Banker Shields himself the
fellow passenger on the trip to Mon
tana. Her heart was set upon the
wilderness, and upon that Bishop's
Lodge there, her future home. And
the only men for her now were the
gallant bushrangers of some stories she
made a point of reading before landing
their kind, at least, which of course
must still infest the wilderness.
Before reading these romances that
is, until the prospect came of living in
Montana Miss Methuen's ideas of that
continent had been very vague, very
elementary, and rather funny. Her
timely reading gave shape and back
ground to her ideas, but left them fun
nier than ever; at all events, it did not
prepare her for the place she was going
to; it did not pretend to do so, that ro
mantic literature; only Miss Methuen
had chosen to assume that all Western
scenery would be in the same style.
She was prepared, in short, for caves,
ranges, deer, oppossum, claims, creeks,
snakes in the grass and chivalrous rob
bers on the high road; but she was not
prepared for a dead level of prairie,
broken only by the river tim
bers of a narrow, sluggish
stream, nor for a wooden township,
where the worst weapons of
man were strong drink in the head and
strong language on the tongue; and
this was what she found. Great was
the disillusion, and in every respect;
it discounted and discolored all things,
even to the Bishop's Lodge, which
with its complete margin of creeper
covered verandah was charming in
everything but situation.
"Call this the bush! where are the
trees?" she said rather petulantly to
her father; and, as she looked at his
long dust coat of light colored silk,
duck trousers and pith helmet, she
might have added: "Call you a
Bishop! where are your gaiters?"
In fact, Miss Methuen's contentment
wore away, very nearly with he
novelty. The Bishop saved the situa
tion by taking her with him on his first
Episcopal round up country. He wore,
too, on that round, his gaiters (with a
new chum's stout shooting boots under
neath) and black garments, for the
cool weather was coming on. They
had a delightful cruise among the sta
tions of the diocese, their pilot being
the Bishop's chaplain, who, as it hap
pened, was a son of the soil. The
Bishop held services in the queer
est places, and administered holy
rites to the most picturesque ruffians,
winning in all quarters the respect and
admiration of men not prone to respect
or to admire, for bis broad shoulders
and grizzled beard and Ids erect six
feet, as well as for the humanity and
virility of every sentence in his simole. .

telling addresses. Evelyn, perhaps,
vas admired less; but she did not sus
pect this, and she enjoyed herself
vastly. There were gentlemanly young
employes at nearly all cthc places.
These young men, naturally taken
with the healthy color and good'
looks of the New York girl, were
sufficiently attentive, and seemed duly
impressed by her conversation. So
they were, but clever Evelyn was not
clever in her topics; she talked Brown
ing to them; and culture, and the
"isms;" and thjy mimicked her after
wardsthe attentive young men. But
this she did not suspect either. She re
turned from the cruise in the highest
spirits, her preconceptions of the West
not rcalizd, indeed, but forgotten; and
after a few weeks the wooden town
seemed a different and a better place
and the Bishop's lodge a paradise of
ease and beauty.
But during the less eventful period of
the Bishop's ministry the delight on
his daughter's part tapered; as her de
lights invariably did in the absence of
variety. She began systematically to
miss things, "after New York," and
here the Bishop could sympathize,
though the foiwd expression of his
sympathy galled his contented and tol
erant nature. He pointed out that
comparison was scarcely fair, and hinted
that it lay with Evelyn, as with himself,
at once to enjoy and to improve the
new environment But of course there
were matters for regret, occasions for
a sigh.
The service of the sanctuary was nec
essarily less sumptuously here, and
Evelyn had a soul of souls for high
mass and the exaltation of the spirit
through the senses. Then when the
service was over there were no young
curates of culture to step in to supper
or dinner, as the case might be. This
was a want of another kind; it is not
suggested that it was the greater want
The social gap, certainly, was an un
attractive feature of Bishop's Lodge,
where even the young men, who talked
with a twang and had barely heard of
Browning never of Augustin Daly
where even those unlettered savages
had been royally welcomed visitors.
As it was, the only visitors almost were
the chaplain and his wife, who did not
count, as they practically lived at the
Lodge. Nor was cither of this excel
lent couple to Evelyn's taste. No one
could have accused the chaplain of pol
ish nor yet, let us state, of laziness or
insincerity. Evelyn, however, tilted
-her nose at him. As for the chaplain's
wife, she was just one of those kind,
unpretentious women who are more apt
to be spoken of as "bodies." She did
many things for Evelyn; but she had
also many children, and spoilt the lot;
so that Evelyn could do nothing but
despise her. For, in her reputed strong
mind, Miss Methuen nursed a Catholic
contempt for human weakness of every
shade.
When, however, the time came for
further Episcopal visitations, Evelyn,
who accompanied her father aa before,
once more enjoyed herself keenly. Her
enjoyment was certainly enhanced by
the fact that the ground traversed was
not the old ground. But this turned
out to be her last treat of the kind for
some time to come. The next round
of travels was arranged with the ex
press object of confirmation, and the
Bishop seemed to feel that on this oc
casion the companionship of his daugh
ter might be out of place. He decided,
at all events, to take no one but the
chaplain.
So Evelyn was left behind with the
chaplain's wife, and neither lady had
a very delightful time. The girl spent
most of hers in writing exhaustive let
ters to her friends, prolix with femi
nine minutiae, but pathetically barren
of the adventures which she longed to
recount, if not to experience. In par
ticular she corresponded with some old
friends in San Francisco.
These people sympathized with her
on many sheets of expensive note
paper. The letters became mutually
gushing; and long before the Bishop's
return, Evelyn had arranged to spend
the term of his next absence with her
opulent friends in San Francisco.
When he did return, Evelyn, as it
happened, was not in the house. In
point of fact, she was reading under
the gum trees by the sluggish little
river, but, as usual, the chaplain's wife
was not in the unnecessary secret of
her whereabouts.
Looking up from her book, she was
startled to see her father hurrying
toward her, his fine face beaming' with
gladness. Evelyn beamed, too, and
they embraced in the road very pret
tily. The bishop explained his early
arrival; the last stages he, even he, had
driven furiously to get back to his
darling girl. Then he thrust his
strong, kind arm through her, and led
her home. But as they neared the lodge
his stepa hesitated.
"My dear, I have a confession to
make to you."
' 'A confession ! Have you done some
thing naughty, father?"
"Yes! I have taken pitv on an un
deserving yonng man. Ton know,
Evelyn, this coloay is full of educated
young men who have gone hard down
hill until reaching the bottom here. I
have come across I can't tell you how
many instances up country, men from
our Universities and public schools, liv
ing from year's end to year's end in
lonely huts, mere boundary riders and
whim drivers."
"Contemptible creatures!" exclaimed
Miss Evelyn, with virtuous vigor. "I
have no sympathy with them, not an
atom!"
The Bishop was not pleased.
"Come, come, Evelyn! I do not like
to hear my dear girl settle questions in
that way questions of humanity, too.
It was not our blessed Lord's way,
Evelyn, my darling! However, the
young man I speak of has done nothing
to merit any one's contempt nothing,
nothing," averred the Bishop, withdis
ingenous emphasis. "He is merely a
young fellow who came out here and
and has not as yet done as well as he
hoped to do. And I found I had been
at school with his father."
"Where is he now?" asked Evelyn,
divining that he was not far off.
"Here in the house." confessed the
Bishop. "He goes on in the coach it
leaves in an hour, at 7; and Evelyn, my
dear, I'd rather you didn't see him be-'
fore be went fie. if. jrpjng down to
San Francisco on business and to get
himself some decent clothes, and I
have also asked him to have his beard
shaved off, as he is quite a young man.
The fact is, be will be back here in a
fortnight, and you will see him then,
for he is coming back as my lay
reader!"
They covered some yards in
silence. Then Evelyn casually in
quired the young man's name, and
her father told her that it was Fol
let; Christian name Samuel, after the
Bishop's old schoolfellow. As they ap
proached the house the Bishop per
suaded his daughter to efface herself
until the coach had gone; it was not
fair, he said, to meet the young man as
hewas, when hi a few days he would
come back a different being. It would
have been inevitable, such a meeting,
had Evelyn been in when they arrived;
but now that it was so easily avoidable,
would she not have the strength of
mind to avoid it? He knew she must
feel very inquisitive. So she did, but
she loved, above most things, an ap
peal to her strength of mind. She
promised. To see, however, was not
to meet And strong-minded Evelyn
contrived to see through a window of
the room in which the future reader
was waiting herself unseen in the
gathering shades.
She could not see much; a slim young
man sitting over the fire; a bronzed
face, illuminated by the flames with
flickering patches of orange; thick
black hair; a thin black beard; mole
skins, leggings. Crimean snirt, and a
felt wideawake on the floor between
his feet This was absolutely all that
Evelyn saw. But it was enough. The
contempt she felt or affected for weak
humanity did not trouble her just then.
Miss Methuen forgot it. Miss Methuen
for one rare moment forgot herself.
In a fortnight he would be back there
as lay reader!
How a Bishop, who was also a man of
the world, came to make so injudicious
an arrangement, only Bishop Methuen
could explain. The chances arc that
in contemplation of the evils from
which it was to be his blessed
privilege to rescue this young man, he
lost sight of others of a less shocking
description. Certainly that night,when
he removed his pipe from his teeth (for
this prelate smoked like any mechanic)
to kiss good night to his daughter, and
when Evelyn said' really meaning it at
the moment, that she would do all she
could for the permanent reformation of
poor Mr. r ollet certainly it did not
seem to the Bishop just then that he
had made an injudicious arrangement
Within the fortnight Follet duly re
appeared a quietly dressed, clean
shaven, earnest young man. And
within the week after that he found it
impossible to sail under false colors
with one so honest and high souled.
so frank and strong minded as
Miss Methuen. He told her his
story and the worst part of it,
which the Bishop had not told her in
a sudden burst of shame and thankful
ness, and in a chance five minutes in
the starlit verandah. His curse had
been drink! Yet Miss Methuen heard
this revolting confession without being
visibly revolted even without that
contemptuous curl which came too
easily to her lips.
"Forgive me,"he murmured, "forgive
me for telling you! I couldn't help it!
I can't go on pretending to have been
what I have not been not to you, who
are so honest and frank and strong!'
"How do you know I am strong?"
asked the girl, coloring with pleasure,
for he had fingered the mainspring of
her vanity.
"I see it"
"Oh, but I am not"
"You are! you are!" he exclaimed,
contradicting her almost as vehement
ly as she desired. "And now you can
never think the same of me again
though you will not show it!"
"You are wrong,'" whispered Evelyn
in her softest tone. "I will think all
the more of you for having climbed out
of that pit You are going on climb
ing now. Only think how much nobler
it will be to have climbed from the bot
tom of the horrible pit than had you
started from the level land and never
fallen."
And, indeed, the sentiment itself was
not far from nobility. As she uttered it
she gave him her hand, frankly and
cordially. Then she left him alone in
the starlight, inspired to do and to dare
glorious things, and burning to scale
the glittering heights of divine enter
prise always supported by the strong
soul of Evelyn Methuen.
