Steadfast in the Faith Of Their Fore
fathers.

In sailing down the Gauges during the
month Katik, our October, one may pass
in the course of a single day half dozen
holy fairs, each with a multitude of pill
grims equal to the population of a large
city All of them are rendered pictur-
esque by the tents and equippages of the
wealthy, the variety of the animals, and
the bright coloring in which the natives
delight-these descendants of the ancient
Aryans of India, Sin many respects the
most wonderful race that ever lived on
EARTH" as Professor Max Muller calls
them Alright all these tents and booths
are Illuminated, so that the scene is hard
ly less animated by night than by day.
and all without tumult and disorder.
Every one of these localities is hallowed
by some NEUROLOGICAL tradition, and the
tirmest faith is reposed by the pilgrims in
the truth of these traditions. Engrafted
for hundreds, nay. thousands of years, in
the minds of the people, they have grown
up with them articles of faith, strength
ened with their strength. ''Your
words are good, Sahib, your teaching is eX-
cellent,' said some native headmen of vii
| lagos to a Christian missionary in Oudh,
''But go and preach elsewhere. We do
not want It, What should we do in your
heaven? You want us to 60 there when
| we die. We had rather be with our faith
ers who went before US. What should
| we do in tho heaven of the sahibs?" This
is no fanclful picture; these were the very
words spoken in Hindustani to an enthu-
siastic missionary by the simple villagers
And what could he say in reply? He felt
the force of them, although he did not
allow them to paralyze his efforts. The
religious melas were attended by thou
sands of devotees on the same principle
that prompted the villagers words to the
missionary. They were observed by their
fathers. Generation after generation has
attended them. Hindu or Moslem OF
Christian the rulers. may be, but the
melas are still the same, and looking
back into the vista of vanished centuries
we still see the same crowds, the same
devotions, the same amusements, food
clothing and attendant animals. Wher
Britons were painted savages it was so
and now that Victoria, Queen of Eng
land, is Empress of India, it is SO still.

know not where -beneath, above
The gathering place so wonderful,
But all who fill our life with love
Go forth to make it beautiful.
Oh! wealthy with all wealth of grace,
Of noble heart, of fair, sweet face,
Is that exalted meeting place.
Life changes all our thoughts of Heaven;
At first we think of streets OF gold,
OF walls, as white as snow, wind-driven,
Of lofty arches, grandly cold,
OF gates of pearl and dazzling light,
OF shining wings and robes OF white,
And things all strange to mortal sight.
But in the afterward of years
1t is more familiar place;
A home unhurt by signs and tears,
Where waiteth many well-known face;
Where little. children play and sing,
And maidens and the old men bring
Their tributes to the gracious King.
With passing months it comes more near,
1t grows more real day by day;
Nor strange nor cold, but very dear,
The glad home land not far away!
Where no sea toucheth, making moan,
Where none are poor, or sick, or lone,
The place where we shall find our own.
And as we think of al we knew,
Who there have met and part no more;
Our longing hearts desire home, too,
With all the strife and trouble DER.
So poor the world now they have gone,
We scarcely bear to think upon
The years before our rest is won.
And yet our Father knoweth best
The joy or sadness that we need,
The time when we may take our rest,
And be from sin and sorrow freed.
So we will wait with patient grace,

Captain Webb's First Appearance.

At this juncture the crowd in the smok-

of "Man overboard'' Clang, clang,
went the bell 1 reached the deck just
in time to see fearless young sailor run
aft, and. with spring like deer, jump
over the rail into the sea- He just cleared
the screw, and, as we were making some
thirteen knots an hour, his head appeared
for moment only above the waves be-
fore he was out of sight. With anxious
hearts the passengers, male and female.
crowded toward the stern of the vessel to
watch the small white eddy where the
person who had fallen overheard went
down. Clang, clang, went the bell
again.
Clover the aft boat on the port side!"
shouted Captain Cook.
Like lightning willing hands were at
work. In less than two minutes the boat
touched the water For over half an
hour the passengers crowded the after
part of the vessel, and with straining
eyes watched the boat in the far distance
tossed like cockleshell on the waves, at
one moment sunk down between the huge
pillows, and at another seemingly
thrown sky-high on the crests of
foam.
ssSignal return" at length said Captain
Cook, and small red flag was run to the
topmast.
Icannot depict the anxiety on the faces
of our passengers as they watched the re-
turn of the life-boat. All strained for
ward to see if there was anybody in the
boat beside the four men that manned it.
Three-quarters of an hour after the acct
dent the boat was again alongside, but
the lad had been lost, while the brave
sailor who jumped after him was nearly
drowned. On reaching the water he had
Invested himself of his heavy boots, and
struck out for what appeared to him to be
body floating little way off, but what
proved to be bit of old spar. The men
in the boat lost his track, and he had
given himself up for lost when he saw the
boat returning. He was ultimately dis
covered and picked up, almost dead from
exhaustion.
AS the brave fellow stepped on deck,
the passengers gave him three cheers. In
few minutes he was in his bunk in
charge Of DR.. Wallace, the ship surgeon.
A collection was made among the rassen-
gers, hundred pounds being thus raised
for our hero, and smaller sum for the
boats crew and the parents of the lost
lad.
was selected to present the money,
and after an hours rest the gallant sailor
called aft to receive it. With modest,
downcast looks he accepted our substan-
tial triaute to his bravery, merely saying,
in his honest, sailor like fashion,: "Thank
you, ladies and gentlemen. am only
sorry that the poor lad is not here to
share it with me-"
The entire incident seems to have had
a marked influence On the life of the
young sailor; for the courageous fellow
has since become famous as Matthew
Webb, the champion swimmer of the
world!

The summer grew to winter, and win
ter changed through spring to summer
| again. Once month there came a let
ter. Farmer Chase secretly admired the
young mans spirit in going off to learn
trade, and permitted the correspond
| ence on the condition that not more than
twelve letters came in year. He little
knew the ingenuity of lovers. Every
letter contained thirty pages. With the
spring had come hint of great changes.
Surveyors had appeared with rod and
chain. They had tramped all up and
down the rocky valley of the Minnesauk-
en-, and at last invaded the Chase and
Lawson farms A railroad would cross
that country, and after several weeks of
| investigation on the part OF the surveyors,
and rather feverish suspense on the part
of the farming people, it was decided
that the line would strike the river on the
two farms just where the child lovers had
played.
Farmer Chase had barely time to get
an early crop of grass from his best field
before it was destroyed by heaps of stone
and gravel carted down from the hills.
The Lawson farm was on much higher
level, and in place of building lofty via
duct on his land, Farmer Lawson saw it
torn up for cutting. A rude wooden
bridge was made, and part of the Lawson
powders and gravel was strewn over the
| Chase meadows-a queer irony OF fate on
| the two families The river-b bank on the
! Chase side was low and sandy, and here
came masons and stone-cutters, with
huge derricks and great blocks of cut
stone. A solid wall Of masonry forty
feet high was erected facing the river,
and on the opposite bank, high on the
bluff, was smaller wall, the two being
level at the top. Between the stone abut-
ment on the Chase meadows and the hill
behind the barn grew up vast embank-
ment, a mountain of gravel, directly in
front of the house. The snow fell be-
fore this was finished, and then the work
stopped for long time. People said the
company had failed, that the read would
never be built, and so on. However,
every man had been paid for his land,
and they could not complain. The delay
was really caused by a tunnel that had
to be cut through the mountains about
five miles to the west of the river.

The moment the free end of the bridge
had been damned or stopped from
moving in that direction, the entire party
crossed the bridge, and began to cut away
the fastenings that secured it to the
masonry.
The noise of the labor startled the Sab
bath air, and both the Chases and Law
sons came out to see what was going on.
Farmer Chase was shocked at the desc

man only replied: s'The road is all fin

in her lover She admitted that he made
a most objectionable blunder, yet she had
faith that he would eXtricate himself
with honor and credit She found him
working ON the bridge in sort of fever
ish anxiety, pale, excited and harassed.
She drew him away from his work for a
moment.
"You have eaten nothing. You must
rest and work more carefully, or you may
have sunstroke; it is going to be very

ayes, bring me something; I'll eat it
here. And then do you pray that it may
be the hottest day of the season. hope
that it will be hundred in the shade; it

Farmer Chase said his daughter should

except to 60 to the house for food for her
lover. Her father objected even to this,
but her mother, being wiser, gave her
both meat and drink.

1t was nearly eleven O'Clock before the

had already begun to show signs Of dis

invisible yet appalling power. Some Of
beams began to show signs of distortion,

And the shadow Of the cloudlet hangs above lie
And the highest hearts and lowest wear the shadow

And the smile is scarcely fitted ere the anguished
