An Old Landmark.

The ancient meeting house on Star Island
was saved, SO far as Can be made out from the
shore, the sea being still too high, at last &C
counts, to permit of approaching the islands in
boats. A terrible night that of Wednesday
must i've been when, besides the furious ele-
ment that has thundered away for centuries at
the little volcanic heaps of rocks barely pro-
truding above the surface OF the sea, and under
which the island almost seems to she visitor to
be Keeling beneath his feet, was added tho
scourge of the fiery element, whipped ana
driven on by the storm that was doing other
work of destruction all along the coast. The
big, new hotel was wiped off the face of
the grim and wrinkied little island like a
weed of years growth as it was, while the
little church, founded high on rock, with its
massive stone walls Sc twenty-five years old, en-.
closing space ten PAGES by six, and its quaint
little Dutch looking tn rret shelterng an ancient
and mournful bell-the whole making famous
landmark twenay miles at sea for dozen gen
eratiops of coasters-promisesto last for CEN
fury or two longer. No fiimsy modern upstart
was to be permitted to lord it over this venerable
pile rooted into its rocky foundations with the
settling jar and shock of thousand storms
A crying need there was for this church, aG-
cordiDg TO the cbronicers. After the BRUSH
had robbed the islanders of their cattle during
the war of the Revolution, the few inhabitants
who chung to the decreasing soil, fell intea de-
plorab,e condition of ignorlrce and vice. Even
the marriage relation was Ignored and all prop
erty and persons were in common. The degra
dation was SO terrible that sort of missiona-
~ enterprise, as to beathen country, was
necessary, to restore the people to sivillza:ion
and rebuild the meeting house that this wicked
generation had pulled down in 1880. At the
time of the Revolution there were from 300 to
600 people resident in these islands; now there
is scarcely anybody there longer than the sum-
mer season. The builder of the Oceanic Hotel,
Just burned, bought out and swept away a
whole fishing village with its inhabitants, to
obtain his building site.-BoSton Transcript.
