a Walk Half Way to tho Moon

In these days of great pedestrian
feats it is worth while to record the
doings of an old Yorkshireman who has
just died at the ripe age of eighty-four
years, at Masham, in Yorkshire. James
Heap was schoolmaster, and carried
on his calling in wild and bleak part
of the country, walking every day a dis
tance of eight miles. he lived at a cot
ton mill just below the village OF Healey,
which is in the western part OF that por-
tion of Yorkshire called Mashamshire.
His school-house was four miles distant,
at Coltersdale, which is still further
west, and among the bleak moors and
wild hills leading away to Westmore-
land.
A storm of wind and rain is no trifljng
matter i'll these parts, and during IL
snow-storm the snow very often drifts
SO thickly as TO make the roads almost
impasSable, but no condition OF the
weather or the atmosphere could shake
James Heaps steadfast purpose, and he
never had any aIlment or accident which
kept him from going his daily round to
the school and home again. Many a
time had he TO wade through snoW-driIts
to find that his pupils were not able to
reach the school, and he was constantly
subjected to drenching rain In the
winter mon LnS. LEU lIoH DGCemuel, ,
1922, to January, 1867, he never missed
single day, and during 2,292 consecutive
weeks he walked more than ITO, ,0OO miles,
or nearly hve times round the world.
Nor was he altogether idle on Sundays,
for during torty-tWo years OF this perio d
he shared with others the teaching Of a
Sunday-school at place called Summer
slue, about the same distance from his
home, and in an equally dreary and
wild district ON the moors with Golfers
dale; seventeen Sundays in each year
during these IorIy-two years did ne
walk eight miles TO teach, which adds
an aggregate OF 5,712 miles to the former
sum, so That taking Sundays and week
days into the reckoning, he would, IL he
had continued his work for rather more
chan another year, have covered dis
tance equal to halt the space between
the eartn and the moon.
The old man, until quite lately, en-
loyed good health, and the Schoolmas-
ters' Association had only lately written
to tell him that an annuity which he mad
been in receipt OF for some time would,
after the 1st of November, be still fur
tAer increased.-[ London Globe.

A Model Man.

nicholas, here is some good news for
thee"
"rell us what it is" said the young
man.
s'rhe Bensons are going on the
'Ariadne'-on the same steamer with
thee. No." she added, after reading
further, "only Mr.. Benson and his ward,
Miss Larkin, with her companion. She
is wretched invalid. L suppose the
voyage is lor her benefit"
"But don't know Mr.. Benson" said
Nicholas, disappointed.
81 shall have the privilege Of giving
thee q letter of introduction, said Mrs.
Fleming.
"He's good man to know, ofcourse ~
said Nicholas.
"0hl he's what they call model
man." responded Mrs. Fleming-"a man
without reproach-more respected, more
trusted than any man l know"
"Well," said Nicholas, 'if he's q
model man, 1 should like to know him.
A model is just what Pm after. Ifancy
there's stun enough in me, IL only had
q model"
"Nicholas." said Glezen, ''you are
not polite to your guests. Mr.. Gold
here is model man. [ am model man.
l say it with profound modesty. come
up here and display my perfecti0ns TO
you, and off you go wandering alter
strange gods. You deliberately trample
on the commOnest notions OF friendship
and hospitality"
"G,ezen, what's the fun offooling?
A fellow never knows what to say" re-
sponded Nicholas.
Mrs. Fleming laughed. She had read
Glezsn at a glance, and fully appreciat-
ed the temptation 10 banter which such
nature as that OF Nicholas presented TO
him. So she said:
81 fancy model man must be a man
who never changes--one who never
laughs, never cries, is never rude, never
weak, is always the same, governed by
principle, ana can stand and be looked
al years at time"
"Can fellow love himW inquired
Nicholas. .,r-,o-;
"Well,I suppose his wife and chill
dren love him; but everybody respects
him, and everybody trusts him. He is
treasurer OIL everything. suppose he
holds in his trust the money of more
widows and orphans than any other man
in New York"
Tne last remark aroused the attention
of Mr.. Bellamy Gold. Up to this time
he had been quietly engaged with his
dinner, and has evidently regarded him
elf as all outsider. His observation
and his quick lawyers instincts had
taught him that no man is liable to be
crowned with a great many trusts who
does not seek them, and make their pos
session a part OF the policy of his life
| His client was about to pass into the
intimate cOmpanionship of this man
and the prospect was not pleasan
| one.
"a model man-begging your pardon
Mrs. Fleming" said Mr.. Bellamy Gold
'is made-up man. At least, that is
| what my observation has taught me
He has shapeI everything in him to ;

The subject of this brief notice, Mrs MARY A.
BECK, lived good and useful life, and died q
happy death June 6th, 1876 From early youth
she was possessed of an amiable disposition
which won around her many warm hearted
friends. Being of delicate constitution for
some time, it became evident that her health was
rapidly on the decline. The pale and wasting
disease which is the Lords instrument for re-.
moving so many thousands every year from this
vast world OF ours, made hasty strides on her
constitution. Even the emaciated look foretold
that the imperious hand of Death had marked
her for his victim. Skillful physicians and a
faithful husband and family did all in their pow-
to head of the direful disea but the fell de-
stroyer was not to be bafied; 1t was fast doing
its work and her body was soon to pass away
from earth. and her spirit unto the God who
gave it. AS friends gathered around her dying
bed she looked up with folded hands, while a
sweet smile of complacency passed her pale
brow and exclaimed, MY peace is made with
voice was calling her from Heaven, saying, "It
is enough. come up higher" Thus she passed
through the valley of death. fearing no evil, for
God was with her. After long years of useful
ness here. she was snatched away by the icy
fingers of death, which never stops till it has
drank the last drop from the fountain of life's
gushing stream. Her earthly pilgrimage has
ceased and her work is done. After short stay
here below, she was borne away on the wings of
light to ascend to the Throne of. God, where
Heavens brightest Saints all join in the sweet
est chorus of-Home at last The Savior has CIV
en- her robe and palm, and has placed the
crown upon her head that is promised to all
bnOSe WHO Dodr Iilo CrOSSs Sne mas pdSSeQ away
leaving asorrowing family and large circle Of
choice friends to weep over her fallen body. She
was kind and a0ectionate mother, and her loss
is deeply regretted by all who knew her. But
why should we weep when we know that she is
blooming a fairer rose in Heaven, and is now
shining brighter star in the crown of her Re-
deemer, and we all expect to meet again in
brighter mansions above. Farewell dear moth
er, its hard to give thee up, we loved thee here,
and now weep over thee, and trust when thy
tomb restores its treasure, to join thee in yonder
heavenly paradise. G.. j.
