BEYOND COMPREHENSION Daniel
Webster was In his best moral estate, and
when be was 10 the prime of bis manhood, he
was one day dining with company of literary
gentlemen in the city of Boston. The COM
pany was composed of cergymen, lawyers,
physicians, statesmen. merchants, and almost
all classes of literary persons. During the din.
ner the conversation incidentally turned upon
the subject of Christianity. Mr.. Webster, as
the occasion was in honor of him. was expected
to take leading part in the conversation, and
ne frankly stated as his religious sentiments,
his belief in the divinity Of Christ and his de-
pendeoce upon the atonement of the Saviour.
"A minister OF very considerable literary reputa-
tion sat almost opposite him at the table, and
ne looked at him and said "Mr. Webster.

From an article descriptive of Bro.
Haynes recent visit to Hartford, we clip
the following paragraphs:
One hours travel brought us to Beaver
Dam, our point on the road, five miles
from Hartford, which place we reached
about dark, on horseback, covered with
mud. This town is one of the Oldest in
Kentucky, and has ever been famous as
the home of some of her most distin-
guished gentlemen, and beautiful and
accomplished ladies' In neither respect,
is the place losing caste, Yet they say
there Hartford is not what it has been:
many of her bright lights have faded, the
gallant young men and winsome ladies
have mostly married and gone" Now
we are of the opinion that Hartford was
never better supplied in these regards
than at the present time. We would
mention their names, but space forbids.
The most prominent among the fea-
lures of enterprise are the newspaper and
schools. That these have become fixtures
well established, is proposition gener
ally conceded. We know Of no county
paper that is growing more rapidly and
deservedly too. into public favor, than
the Hartford Herald"
But there is one thing which reflects
discreditably upon the whole town; it Is
the absence of pavements, which makes
it almost impossible for ladies or gentle
men to appear with any pleasure to them
selves upon the streets. When We again
visit the place, it will be when the muC
has dried up. --.a-- .

The path of life meanders through a
bright and beautiful worid-a world
where the fragrant flowers of friendship,
nourished BY the gentle dews Of sympa-
thy and the warm sunlight of affection,
bloom in perennial beauty. But through
this world there flows a stream whose
turbid waters cross and recross the path
of every pilgrim-it is the stream of hu-
man suffering. Nearly six thousand
years since it flowed out through Eden's
gate, yet it still rolls onward, ever becom-
ing broader and deeper. Its sources are
hidden in the inmost recesses of human
hearts, and its tributaries flow out from
every hearthstone in the land. Man strives
in vain to check its progress-itis uncon>
trollable. Science and art may press into
their service all the blind forces Of nature.
They may unite distant places by parallel
bands Of iron. and cause the ,neyer-tiring
locomotive swiftly to speed from the east
ern to the western sea. With lightning.
like rapidity they may send messages Of
hope or tidings of despair through air
and ocean. They may even GO beyond
these and determine the nature of the
very elements which compose the heaven
ly bodies But when they seek to stop
the flow of this mighty stream they are
confronted by the mandate "Thus far
shalt thou go, and no farther" Education
has done much to overcome these evils
of ignorance and barbarianism; but it has
also done much to increase our capacity
for suffering. We are now surrounded
by the advantages and comforts of ciyili-
zation; but are we happier than were our
ancestors in ruder times? If we look
about us to-day, and mark the varied ex-
pressions upon the faces of those we meet,
we shall see lines of care which speek in
language to plain to be misunderstood.
They tell ofyouthful dreams uurealized; oi
hopes blighted by the frosts Of time; Of
broken ties of friendship and Of sad
aching hearts. Other lines there are;
which tell of sorrow too deep for utteranct
sorrows which are denied even the con
ISOLATION Of human sympathy.

CHAPTER XVII.

A TALE FOR THE CHRISTMAS DEssERT-TABLE.
On Thursday morning they were up
betimes at Alnwick Cottage. Midday
was to witness their departure from it.
Even Mrs. Yorke was in the sitting room
by ten o'clock. 1t was a room adjoining
her bed room. Finch shook up the pill
lows of her easy-chair, and drew it near
the window. The day was bright for
winter, the landscape lovely.

prove the time by telling her mistress
of the capture of King, and his confess
sion. "The man is took, and has con-
fessed." she said. "He admits having
stopped inside Mr.. Janson's garden, and
killed him"
Maria held handkerchief to her face
to hide the terror that settled there.
"Who is it that was taken2" she gasped.
"The man King, ma am; one of that
dreadful gang. 1t was thought that he
did it from the first. 1906
"Send Miss Hardisty to me-" murmur-
ed Maria. r.
Miss Hardisty came. She told Mrs.
Yorke the tale, so far as she knew it
Suddenly, in the midst of telling it. she
gave startled shrek: for there stood Mr..
Yorke, inside the room door.
He looked as il he had come off jour
ney. He had a great-coat on his arm,
and was unwinding warm cravat from
his neck. Laying them on a chair, be
advanced and stood before his wife.
"Are you satisfied now, Maria?'
What was she to believe? Was he
guilty or not guilty. She looked up, a
strangely yearning look on her white face
her thin hands clasped before her. Miss
Hardlsty, in her impulsive eagerness. laid
hold of the arm of Mr.. Yorke.
"Were you not guilty?" ...
"Nor' he burst forth, naughty flush
dyeing his forehead. al was the one who
interrupted the wretched murderer at hi'
work-as he has now confessed. Leave
me a few minutes alone with my wife
will you, Miss Hardsty?'

from her sudden conviction Of his trutl
and their own mistake, crossed the room
and descended the stairs. Mr.. Yorke, a

THREE KISSES.

BY WALLACE GRUELLE.
The night was dark, the hour was nine,
The rain was pouring like flood,
As just inside the door we stood
To bid the fond "Good night"
Her soft, fair hand was clasped in mine.
As she stood in the lamps dim light,
A being SO fair, and sweet, and bright,
The embodiment, / wis,
OF all that makes this life divine,
1 stopped, and snatched kissl
II.
She blushed, and hung her head, aud then,
Repentaut, 1 stood to hear my doom
Unbroken silence filled the room
The wind ratified the door,
The rsindrops pattered gainst the pane
And elattered on the sloping roof,
And still she coyly stood aloof,
Her eyes bent on the floor
When, to relieve her bashful pain,
stopped, and kissed once more.
"0hl don't!" she cried, in sweet alright,
But ne'er withdrew her soft, fair hand
The softest and fairest in the land
Which I clasped go tight,
felt it throb and tremble, and
1 feel its impress now: and this
To me was the extreme of bliss,
rfH And such glad delight
As man ne'er felt before, wis,
That again stopped, and into the night
Bore away another kiss!

DRY EARTH FOR THE STABLES l

DRY EARTH FOR THE STABLES IN
WINTER.-The long wet spell we have
had is likely to be followed by consider
able dry weather in the Fall When
the ground is in good order for plow-
ing-that is, when it will crumble finely
from the mould board-every farmer
should pillow up patch of rich soil as
he has, convenient to the stables,-an
old fence row is about the best,-and
harrow and roll till the soil is complete
ly pulverized Two or three plowings
may be necessary to reduce the soil to
the finest condition possible; and when
perfectly dry remove the top and haul
and store away in a convenient place,
under cover, near the stables. Put by
enough of this dry earth to keep a good
covering of it on your stable floors
under the stock, and not a particle of
the liquid manure or volatile gases will
be lost, and your stables will be kept
clean and sweet all the time the stock
is housed. There is no Investment for
manure that will pay the farmer better
or as well, as good supply of fine
earth to be used in his stables during
the Winter and Spring. A little ground
plaster to sprinkle through the stables,
also, will be a great addition to the dry
earth. The straw litter can be spread
on top of the dry earth, which should
be removed with the manure as fast as
it becomes saturated, and the supply of
fresh earth repeated.

SHEEP ESSENTIAL TO MAN.-Under
this head John S. Goe, the great Merino
sheep raiser, writes to the German
town Telegraph" Mr.. Goe confines
his attention wholly to the Merino
breed, hence his Partially for that stock:
From an early period we find that
sheep are mentioned as the property of
individuals. An account of the first
born tells US that offerings to the Lord
were from the flock; and during the pa
triarchal dispensation and also through
the Jewish, the lambs were offered up
on all important occasions. 1t is clear
that under the old covenant, which was
typical of the new, we find that our
Saviour was likeDed to Lamb, and
that his blood was shed, as was that of
the lambs, in the previous offerings.
We find that at two different times Job
was a large flock owner. The strife
between the shepherds of Lot and the
herdsmen of Abraham caused the sepa-
ton of the two Patriarchs In our ac-
count of the covering of the tabernacle
we infer that as rams skins were there
used none but good ones would answer
for that type of the one not founded by
man. AS sheep were then suited to the
wants of those primitive people, it will
show during the past and present cen
fury that mankind would grow such
sheep as to meet the present wants;
hence we find that great progress has
been made and that at the present time
the Merino sheep far surpass any time
prior to this. The earliest account we
have Of skill in breeding is found in the
account of Jacob when serving his
father-in-law in the capacity of herds
man and shepherd, as per contract for
his two daughters for wives. Money
has ever had its tempting influences;
and as the Mernos give more profit and
increment to the farm, they have become
the most popular variety. They furnish
the cheapest and best mutton; they fur
nish the wool from which is made our
finest clothes and blankets. Their herd
ing qualities and their rugged constitu
tions make them to fully meet our wants.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MID,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
