LrrrLE nRoHN HANDS.

They drive home the cows from the pasture,
Up and through the long shady lane,
Where the quails whistle loud in the wheat-held
That are yellow with the, ripening grain;
They find in the thick waving grasses
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry grows;
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson blood of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow;
They gather the elder bloom white;
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than Italy wines;
They know where fruits hang the thckest,
On the long thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seA,weeds,
And build tiny castles in the sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea-shells-
Fairy barks that have drifted to land
They wave from the tall, rocking tree>;ops
Where the orioles hammock-swings,
And at nighttime are folded in slumber
By song that a fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest;
The humble and poor become great
And from those brown>handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of State.
The pen of the author and Statesman
The noble and wise of the land
The sword, and chisel, and the palette,
Shall be held in the little brown hand.

A MEMORABLE INTERvIEw.-Oneo of the

A MEMORABLE lNTERVIEW.-One OF the
most memorable and important interviews
which ever took place between two individ>
uals in this world, was held on a raft in the
middle of the river Nieman, at the little
town of Tilsit, in Prussia. At one o'clock
precisely, on the 25th of June 1907, boats
put off from opposite sides Of the stream, and
rowed rapidly towards the raft. Out OF each
boat stepped single individual, and two
met in a small wooden apartment in the
middle of the raft, while cannon thundered
from either shore, and the shouts of great
armies drawn up on either bank drowned the
roar of artiileary. The two persons were the
Emperors Napoleon and Alexander, and the
history of the time tells US that they met to
Arrange the destinies of mankind And
the hastily constructed raft, on which the
interview took place, will be remembered as
long as the story of great conquests and
mighty revolutions can interest the mind of
man. Conference lasted but two hours it
was entirely private between the two Emper
ors, and yet it was fraught with momentous
consequences to millions. 1t was one of the
great crisis in human history when the ours
rents Of power that govern the nations take
new directions and break over the bounds
and barriers of ages. Go back eighteen
hundred years beyond the treaty of Tilsit,
and we find private conference between two
individuals of far more momentous and last
ing importance than between Napoleon and
Alexander. This more ancient interview
was not watched with eager expectancy by
great armies it was not hailed by the thun-
ders of cannon and the shouts of applauding
thousands; it was not arranged beforehand
by keen and watchful agents of the two that
were to meet. 1t Was in private house, at
late hour of the night, and it was brought
about by the mingled curiosity and anxiety
of an old man to know something more of
young teacher who had recently appeared in
his native city. And yet from that humble
night conference of Jesus and Nicodemus,
there have gone forth beams of light and
words OF power to the ends of the earth.
The plans formed by Napoleon aud Alexan-
der at Tilsit were reversed and defeated long
ago, and it is impossible to trace their infu,
ence in the condition of European nations
to-day The words spoken by Jesus to his
wondering and solitary listener that night
have already changed and glOri6ed the des-
tiny of immortal millions, and they have
more influence now than in any previous age;
and they are destined to 60 on increasing in
power, until they shall be received as the
measure Of live and love by every nation un-
der heaven.

to repeat the text on their return from
church, to prove that they had paid atten-

right 1 will pay thee" Charlie came home,
and was asked to repeat she text. He

SUDDEN AND MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Last Monday, about P. NJ, this community
was startled by the report that q girl named
Eliza Jane Boyce, aged about fifteen years,
was found dead under very peculiar circum-
stances, in. the buttery or smoke house ats
tached to the dwelling of Mr.. N. Cochran,
on College street. The circumstances, as
far as developed, are about as follows: Jen-
ny Boyce, as she was generally known, has
been living in the family of Mr.. Cochran
about two years, and for several months past
has been principallyiengaged in attending on
Mrs. Cochran, who is an invalid. Last Mon
day morning she was left in attendance on
Mrs. Cochran while her husband went up
town on business. On returning home be-.
tween twelve and one o'clock, Mr.. Cochran
missed Jenny nd asked his wife what had
become of her. He was told that Jenny had
gone out sometime before to mend her dress
and was probably in the garden SO engaged.
He sought her there, and also through the va
rious rooms iu the house, but failed to find
her. Thinking she had gone to visit some
of the neighbors, he paid no more attention
to her absence for some time, when, having
occasion to go for water to the well, be no,
ticed, on returning to the house, that the
buttery door was partly open. On proceeding
to close it he discovered Jenny lying down
on the inside in nude condition, with
bucket and towel on one side Of her and her
cast off garments on the other. Mr.. Cochran
approached to arouse her, thinking that she
was asleep; but on touching the body for
that purpose he found that she was dead or
dying. Some neighbors were called in and
an effort made to resuscitate her, but to no
purpose. AS there were some peculiarities
about this case, an inquest was held on TIE
body, and sufficient facts were elected to give
rise to the suspicion that crime had been.
committed. A post nsortenS examinations
was made and the deceased was found to be-
with child. Other evidence warranted the
jury, by the advice Of Drs. Jessup and Hud-
son, in having the stomach subjected TO
analysis. 1t was removed and forwarded to
Prof. Veatch for that purpose. - Polk,

THE VIRTUE OF FRUGALITY.-The Crea-
tor of the world is infinitely bountiful; and
yet in all his provisions he allows no waste
He weighed the dust, and measured the
waters when he made the world and calcu.
lated to nicely SO much earth, SO much air,
so much fire, so much water went to make
up such world az this. The first quantity
is still here and though man can gather aud
scatter, move, mix and unmix, yet he can
destroy nothing. The putrefaction of one
thing is a preparation for the being and
bloom of another Thus tree gathers
nourishment from its own fallen leaves when
they are decayed, and something gathers up
the fragments, that nothing is lost. And
when the Son of God was on the earth, and
went about scattering blessings-when, with
word, he multiplied FIVE barley ioaves and
two small fishes to feed many thousands of
persons, be could in the same manner have
provided another meal whenever the need of
his followers required it; but instead Of that
be commanded them to gather up the frag.
ments that nothing might be lost, thus
teaching us 10 reguard frugaliiy as a Chris,

THEIR RELIGIOUS FAITH AND EDUCATION.
The natives, both Creoles aud Aleuts, are

very industrious and energetic. They are
all strict Othcrdox Greek Christians, sDd
have the utmost respect for their religion.
The also exhibit q high ciEilization in the

aud read, the Russian Language, in which
they were educated by their fathers aud in
the schools of the. oouutryss.<Phe Aleuts
speak and read the Russian language and
their own dialect also. The Aleutian Ian.
guage or dialect has been furnished with an
alphabet of Russo-Slavic characters arranged
bo Russian teacher, Ivan Benjamiuof, who.
with commendable zeal, applied himself to
the labor of reducing their language to tho
written form. Every house is.supplied with
species of calander, 10 which the days are
marked BY the insertion of a peg in a hole
marked by the day of the month, Sunday
being indicated by a cross. Saturday is OBJ
served as their Sabbath, in consequence of
an error which crept in by the loss of day
in the journey of the Bishops who FIRST trav,
eled from St. Petersburg to this coast. At
that time the loss of day in the Journey
half round the earth vas not known. and
consequently Saturday was declared the
Sabbath. The people of the country have
great respect for large fanatics. They are
passionrtely fond of children, and to their
own are remarkably attentive. Mothers use
large quantities of rose water and cologne
for lavatory purposes, and otherwise exhibit
the utmost sollcitude for the comfort, health
aud development of their children, and the
Russian Government has heretofore favored
these purposes by wise and judicious ex-
tension of facilities for trade in such corh-
modities to the health and well being of the
people. With reference to their religious
status, it has already been remarked that
they are all Greek Christians and it may bo
here added that any missionary effort made
at converting them from their faith will re-
suit in no good, and must be attended BY
great opposition, as they are firmly grounded
in their particular belief, and which, urder
the peculiar circumstances by which they
are surrounded, cannot be successfully sub
stituted by any other. The re establishment
of their schools and the opening up of the
avenues of unrestricted trade are the meas.
ures most earnestly desired. Alaska Herald.
