For the Farmer and Mechanic
Sketches Illustrative of Bible
Sketches.
BY ABB NOpI.

Nearly everything written in re-
gard to the Bible, comes from the
practlced pens of learned theolo-
glans. And therefore when these
sketches were placed in my hands,
as the results of Tom Chesney's
study of the Bible during the col
lege vacation of the summer of
IS, l confess | opened them
with an odd mingling of amuse-
ment and interest. am sorry to
say hat he had had no religious
education whatever, and had, poor,
fellow, grown up in Il hap-hazard
sort of IA way, that argued ill for
any moral training of any kind.
His father, Arthur Chesney, found
himself, at thirty-eight years of
age, Secretary of Legation TO-,
and a widower with four sons on
his hands, the youngest of whom
was ten years old. The three elder
were placed at school in America,
but he could not part with the
youngest, his darling Tom, and he
took him with him to the gay
court of -. The boy had a Gu
rious and very usual bringing up
Old enough to be useful, he acted
as page to his father. mingling
freely in diplomatic circles, where
he was considered too young to I'M
derstand the grave and eagerly
argued questions of ~contending
governments:-petted for his unu-
sual beauty of person and sweetness
of manner, ready and obliging, he
was often employed to carry impor-
tant verbal messages which he,
with his quick, boyish wits, learn
ed to understand almos t us well as
the senders. Years passed, in this
wav, until his father woke up to
the importance of giving the lad
some book education, and he was
sent to a preparatory school in
Germany, and in time, to a German
University. There he came in
contact with the seething ''mael-
strom" of modern thought; "com-
munism" "sacerdotalism" Pan
Teutonism" ''positivism," every
thing which is shaking the earth
morally with it throes of agonized
effort. When his father found 1t
necessary to return to the United
States he brought Tom with him
and as his collegiate course was
still uncompleted, he was sent to

POETRY.
Loyal.

The good Lord Douglas-dead OF
old
In bis last journeying,
Wore at his heart, in heavy gold,
The heart of Bruce, his king.
Through Paynim land to Palestine,
For so his troth way plight.
TO lay that gold on Christ his
shrine,
Let fall what peril might.
BY night and day, a weary way
OF vigil and of flight,
Where never rescue came by day,
MOI W. rest by night.
And one by one the valiant spears
We're smitten from his side;
And one by one the bitter tears
Fell for the brave that died.
Till fierce and black around his
track
lie saw the COMBAT CLOSE,
And counted but the single sword
Against u%ncounted foes.
He drew the casket from his breast,
lie barred his solemn brow.
Oh. foremost of the kingliest.
Go "first in battle" now,
Where leads my Lord of Bruce the
sword
OF Douglas shall not stay!
Forward. We meet ut Christ his
feet
In Paradise, to-day.
The casket flashed : the battle
clashed;
Thnndered and rolled away:
And dead above the heart of Bruce
The Eeart of Douglas lay.
Loyal. Methinks the antique mould
Is lost, or theirs alone
Who sheltered Freedoms heart of
gold,
Like Douglas, with their own.
