CHAPTER VI.

Oae afternoon, Jan stood again By the
beGoh-tree. He looked weak and wasted the
fresh red of his checks had given way TO an
aShy transparent paieness; his eyes had lost
all tErr' sslOu, and his head hung down list
les-ly on his left shouder.
Already had he stood thus more than half an
hour without moving, when behind him,
alDo' the aiGcIs, Il step Iustied in the fallen
leavV@. ii" TUNED round !: there stood The CID
pa; s1h priest of De7sChel. With an evident
Effort lie threw a more cheerful preEs ion into
b., cUunt,nAnCr and bowed respectfully to
t1e clergyman; hc even attempted to smile,
bat in way that only witnessed tie more of
hIs internal suffering.
TIE priest sa;GoV.n pI the grass, and with a
gesture invited Jan TO take q seat beside hIm
then to took the young man by the hand,
looked him cumPRrsI JEa'ely in the face, aud
IL tuno Of trne iatbeI!y feeling thus began
Jan! Jan! Is this tie way You keep your
solemn promisef sui always under the
beech-treo! You will have it then, that your
mother must do as size has threatened, and cut
the tree DOWN..
At these words q convnlsive start passed
through JAMS limbs; lie darted an indignant
look upon the priest and cried out
" What! cut the tree Covn!-tbe beech
tree! I'd SUI ash the workmen's skulls in"
This outbreak Gstonished the good pastor
not little; he was in hopes that his reiters- |
ted admontions had already in great part sn b. |
dued Jams grief, and that the poer fellow b ad |
by this time half forgotten the cause Of it. In |
the same paternal tone he added:
Jan, my son, those are sinful words of !
youIs. What your mother said about the tree
q not exactly to be taken for gospel; but |
5hat you, with your right feeling and good
should let yourself be led away
Dy an empty nothing, foolish dream, to think
# murder and threaten it, is what can't I'M
lerstaud, and it grieves me more than San
ell you. Tel me: do l deserve that you
hould answer me sof'

eart which cannot account for even to my
elf and which is stronger than your words

A WILD MANOR SToRY.-Quite an
excitement was created the first of the
week by the report that wild man had
been seen in town. The story is told
that Amasa Hutchins and wife went to
church and left two boys at home.
They soon became uneasy and went into
the field to amuse themselves, and while
jumping and rolling, strange object
came out of the woods and began to
initiate their movements, which fright
ened them so much that they ran to
Mr.. Lows near by and got him and his
hired man to go in pursuit. They re-
turned to the place where he had dis
appeared, but searched in vain for some
time, but while standing near fallen
tree, he leaped out from beneath it Civ
ing an unearthly yell, leaping twenty
or thirty feet into the bushes, and was
lost to sight. They describe him as
three or four feet high and covered with
hair, while the hair on his head was fire
red and hung over his shoulders. [Our
readers may believe just as much of the
above story as they please; as for us
well, please excuse US.
VIM. Blair's barn was burned last

engaged in feeding his stock, the lamp
exploded, scattering the fire on to the

that it was useless to try to save the
building. Partially insured it the Yer
mont Mutual.

Mr.. E. NJ. Hill, manufacturer of cedar
oil, near South Danville, came near
shutting off this mortal coil last Satur-

to the station and in drawing it off into
another barrel through a siphon, be
sucked through the pipe to start its
running, and it came with such force
that he swallowed some-enough to
kill half a dozen men, he thinks. But
for the fortunate attendance of physi-
clan within ten minutes, he would have

On Tuesday evening Mr.. Moorhouse
continued the same subject as on Mon

these discourses were full of tender APP

Mr.. Sankey gave little history of the

the words in newspaper in Glasgow,

of Scotland, and how the Lord had

blood and this discourse was fuller
than usual of vigorous thought and APP
illustration. The symbols of the re.
demptive sacrifice of Christ, as found il
the Old Testament, were most vividly
portrayed. Mr.. Sankey sung the las
song written by Mr.. Bliss, before b,
went down at Ashtabula, and the chorus
was sustained by four voices from the
choir. 1t was given with much effect
