A Speeches. Race OF Men.

Dr. Fields book on Java says: This
part of the world would delight Mr.. Dar-
win by the strange races IL contains, some
of which approach the animal tribes. In
the island OF Rho the Resident assured me
there were wild men who lived Ia trees
and had no language but cries; and in
Sumatra the Resident OF Palembang said
there were men who lived in the forests
with whom not only the Europeans but
even the Malays could have no intercourse.
He himself had never seen one; yet.
strange to say, they have petty traiflc
with the outer world. yet not through the
medium of speech. They live IN the woods,
aud live by the chase. They hunt tigers.
not with the gun, but with q weapon called
a Sumpitan, which Is a long tube, out OF
which they blow arrows with such force,
and that are so keen of point, and toached
with such deadly poison, that the wound
Is almost immediately fatal. These tiger
skins or elephant tushs they bring for bar
ter-not for sale-they never sell anything,
for money is about the most useless thing
they could have; they cannot eat it, or
drink 1t. or wear it, But a. they have
wants they exchange; yet. they themselves
are never seen. They bring what they
have To the edge OF the forest. aud leave 1t
there. aud the Malays come and place what
they have to dispose of, and retire. II the
offer is satisfactory. when the Malays re-
turn they find what they brought gone,
and take what is lett aud depart. Ii not,
they add a few trities more 70 tempt the
eyes of these wild nen Of the woods. aud

the while the sellers keep themselves in-
visible. This mode OF barter argues hon

whom I thought had lost until few

whom thought had lost until few
minutes ago! Blanche, my love!'
And the girl stood looking at him,
clutching Mrs. Pemberton's hand in a
vice ike grasp that was chill as death,
her face pale as her dress, her eyes
full Of mingled piteous bewilderment,
and wondering doubt and mute costa
cy.
ITO think l never once thought of
telling you Johns name was West
court! You see, always call him
John, although Elmer is prettier. and
he has an equal right to it, being his
middle name. And to think-"Well,
I'm clean beatl"
And Mrs. Pemberton sank down in
the hall chair and wiped her eyes and
her glasses, while Mr.. Westcourt took
Blanche ln his arms and kissed her, :,
and hastily explained what she did not
fully understand till later-how he had
written to her in the hour of his sud-
den, imperative departure abroad
how he had sent her letter after letter,
and how he concluded she had done
with him.
And they both knew then that
Blsnche's equally sudden removal
from her old home, and her self elected
retirement to the country, had been
sufficient reason why she never had re-
ceived what would have changed all
her life for her.
But the sunshine was come at last,
the glad, bright sunshine. that was all
the better for the dark weather that
had 80 long hidden it. And Blanche's
life blossomed out anew, under the ra.
diant influences of love and hope.

The Flower Of the Field.

There grew poppy in plot Of corn,
And three men went thereby. before the heat

And one. youth. spake In thst thoughtful hour
And said "Methinks this poppy well might be

The wind sweeps over them and ihev arc

And thereupon the three went silent on,
And the low sunlight iay uncro-sed by shade.

And set 1t on the whiteness OF her dress.
And so passed on with addcj loveliuess

Murphy, Tho Temperance Orator.

The story Of his own life makes up a
good part OF his speeches. Ifhe stays only
. day or two In place. you get an abrdg-
ment Of it. 1fhe tarries longer, he gives
IL to you at length. in instalments, with
more or less OF discuIsive moralizing and
description and appeal thrown in evening
by evening. The story is well told. You
would not tell so much Of 1t, If you were in
his place; but you do not feel, after all i,
like censuring his frankness. You can see
In his experience the depths OF degradation
and woe into which drink plunges men;
and be evidently thinks he has better
right to show you the dark side of his own
life than that of any other mans. Often
as he has told the tale 1t Is far from being
4 mere recitation. His heart swells with
emotions that are not simulated, and the
tears start from his own eyes as he speaks
Of the woes of mother and the children
in the days when drink was cursing his
home.
Now and then he strikes of into digres-
sions-humorous, descriptive, dramatic
some of which are very telling. The story
of the Irish girl VINO felt so grand riding in
her mistress's carriage that she wished she
could stand on the sidewalk and see her
self drive by is capitally told; and always
when he drops into his native brogue the
character. Some of his more tragic pas
sages are simply tremendous. His descrip-
ton of Sheridan's Ride, for example, or
his imaginative portrayal Of the ''upas
tree" of intemperance are astounding per-
formances. Such rhetoric, such elocution,
such acting are not often heard nor seen.
He races back and forth across the plat
form; he roars like Gagged tiger; he
leaps, at the climax OF his passion, three
or four feet into the air.
or course, you do not approve all this.
II Is not your way of doiUg 1t. Neither do
you approve all of Murphy's orthoepy or
syntaX. But it does the business. Crude
though the performance may be in spots,
1t Is telling performance. The acting is
immense; but it is scarcely more excess
i've than Is often seen upon the classic
stage. The rhetoric may be faulty; but
it Is big-hearted man that is talking, ard
the people do not stop to measure his
words by critical standards. And now and
then comes a passage of natural descrip-
| ton or a touch of human nature that mark
| the real orator.
| What IL better, the spirit OF the man aud
his methods of work are so wholly Chris
tian that they disarm criticism. "i on
can't ouerl with me- he says every day
"for won't querl." 1.-THE Catholic priest
frbids his people TO attend Murphy s
meetings. Murphy eulogizes Father Math-
ew. and says not a word about the priest
except in kindness. For "the rumseller, -
SO long the black dragon of the temper
ance reiormer, he has nothing but sympa-
thy. And, II the prohibitionlst denounces
| him for his gentle treatment OF the liquor
dealers, he only says to the prohbitionist
God bless you. we are going to get every
body TO step drinking liquor, and then no.
body will want 10 sell it, Not a word OF
ceDsure or denunciation falls from his

Don't Stay Long

A look Of yearning tenderness
Beneath her lsshes lies,
And hope end hove unuuersble

From dreamy sweet girl-life.
And crossed the rosy threshold but
To find herself wife:
oh. gently should he lead her steps
Along the path OF lifel
And as she clssped her small white hands
Upon his arms so strong.
How Omen, like q summer sigh,
Or sweet pleading song.
She whispered. with parting kiss,
Beloved one. don't stay long"
It's almost always on her lip,
Her gentlest parting words.
Sweet a. the fragrance from rose leaves
When BY son zephyrs stirred.
And lingering in the memory
Like songs Of summer bird.
And In his heart they nestle warm.
When other scenes amid:
He stays not till she weary grows.
And her fond eyes are hid
In tears which lie In bitterness
Beneath each yelling lid.
And, oh. how many hearts are kept
BY that love-uitering song
There's scarcely one who on lifc's waves
Is swiftly borne along.
But thst has heard from some dear lips
Those sweet words, Don't stay long"
