Death threatened them on every side ;
and they commended their souls to God
and awaited the result. Suddenly the
great doors gave way before the heavy
blows showered upon it, and the now ex-
asperated Mortimer poured into the
church and came straight up the nave
toward the altar. Some Of the timid
people fed into the aisles and rereated
to the choir; but some kept their places,
and many of these the savage warriors
slew without mercy.
A party of three Of the Mortimer
were slightly in advance Of the rest,
and came leaping up the very steps Of
the altar bent on the death Of the priest,
who. as they had learned, had induced
the people to resist. Already they We're

stood there facing them with clasped
hands aud uplifted eyes, when a loul
command in their own language from
some one behind caused them to pause
and look back.
A stern, naughty viking, evidently the
leader, sprang up the steps, thrusting
the men roughly aside; and stopping
only long enough to articulate in broken
language the words "Andrew brother,
he turned to his astonished companions,
and in his own language commanded the
carnage to be stopped. His tones were
those of a man not to be disobeyed.

back to the sea he led the way, and the
whole baud embarked and set sail. The
people succeeded in tearing away and
extinguished the burning rafters, aud the
church was saved. Then having cared
for the dead, they once more gathered
within the sacred edifce, and offered
thanks for its preserved sanctity and for
their own almost miraculous escape.
When the people afterward eagerly in
quired of Andrew about the unexpected
mercy shown by the stern leader of th2
Mortimer, he told them the story that

young viking whom his fathers roof had
sheltered. and who, l hardly need say,

William PattersOn's viii.

William Patterson vas a very wealthy
tradesman of Baltimore. In the early
DAYS of Franklin County, Ga, he bought
up a great many tracts OF land in the
county, and spent a good portion OF his
time in looking after his interests there.
He was said to be as strong as bear
and as brave as a lion but, like all
brave men. he was lover Of peace, and,
indeed, a good, pious man. Neverthe-
less. his wrath could be excited to a
fighting pitch.
On one occasion he attended public
gathering in the lower part Of Franklin
County. at some district court ground.
During the day two opposing bulies
and their friends raised a row and gem
eral fight was the consequence. At the
beginning Of the fray, and before the
fighting began, Billy Patterson ran into
the crowd to persuade them notto fight,
but to make peace and be friends. But
his efforts for peace were unavailing,
and while making them, some Of the
crowd in the general melee struck Billy
Patterson a severe blow from behind.
Billy at once became fighting mad and
cried out at the top Of his voice, Who
struck Billy Patterson?'
No one could or would tell him who
was the guilty party. He then proposed
to give any man 500 to ten him who
struck Billy Patterson. From 500 he
rose to 81, 900, but not 81 600 would in
duce any man to tell him who struck

MARY A. BARR

When swallows we're building in early spring
And the roses were red in June
when the great white lilies were fair and
sweet,
In the heat Of the August noon
When the winds were blowing the yellow
wheat,
And the song of the harvest nigh,
And the beautiful world lay calm and sweet
In the joy Of a cloudless sky
Then the swallows we're f,il of glad content
In the hope of their northern nest;
We're sure that the land they were tarrying IN
OF an other lands was the best.
All if they had heard in those blissful days
The Voice they must heed say, $50,
They had left their nests with keen regret
And their fight had been sad and slow.
T III and nouglass Mccoy, Of Ne'

And the brown leaves fell with a sigh,
And they watched the sun setting every day
Further on in the northern sky,
Then the Voice was sweet when it bid ther

They were eager for southwark flight,
And they beat their wings to a newborn hop
When they went at the morning light.
: If the way was long, yet the way was glad,
And they brighter and brighter grew,
As they dipped their wings in the glowing heat
As they still to the southwark flew;
i Till they found the land of the summer sun,
! The land where the nightingale sings,
I And ioyfully rested mid rose and song
! Their beautiful weary wings.
Like swallows we wander from home to home
We are birds of passage at best
In many spot we have dwelt awhile.
We have built MS many a nest.
But the heart of the Father will touch on
hearts,
He will speak TO us soft and low,
We shall follow the Voice to the better land,
And its bliss and its beauty know.

the waist OF her dress and secured rolls of
bills aggregating $500. The men escaped.

The Boston Herald, referring to the
trouble between Pope Leo and por-
ton of the Irish clergy commends the
craftsmanship ofLeo, which has changed
in a great measure the relations of the
church with European governments.
The distinguishing characteristic be-
tween the policy of Pope Leo and that
of his predecessor is that, while the lat
ter was utterly Indifferent to the opinions
and wishes of the governments of Eu-
rope, the former has attempted to con-
ciliate the ruling powers all over the
continent. Pope Leo inherited quarrels
with Germany. Russia, Italy, and even
Austria. By diplomatic tact, he has sue
ceeded in wholly regaining lost ground
in Russia; SO much that the Roman
Catholic church to-day stands in better
condition in that country than it ever
has before. In Austria the relations be-
tween church and state are wholly har-
monious; in Germany, most of the
causes for quarrel have been obliterated,
while even in Italy the opportunities for
peace are much more encouraging than
any one could have supposed they would
be ten years ago. Pope Leo has made
these gains-and, considering the inter-
ests involved, they are exceedingly
great ones-by throwing his strength in
favor of conservative methods, and by
opposing those outbursts OF popular feel
ing which have their display in lawless
acts

A movement is on foot for the organi.
cation of what is ca LED a federation of
trades" which if realized, will result in
the most formidable labor organization
this country has ever known. The out
lines of the plan for the proposed feder-
alton, as given by Secretary Martin of
the Amalgamated association to repre-
sentative of the New York Times, are
as follows: First, for each trade to or
ganize by itself; second, for each trade
that is strong enough TO form a national
association; third: each trade, without
foregoing any of the control of its own
affairs, harmoniouslv to affiliate with 9TH
er trades, 80 as to render and receive aid
when necessary; fourth, the national as
sociations to elect delegates to conven-
ton for the purpose of forming feder.
alton. The primary object of the feder..
alton would be to secure mutual aid dur
ing strikes, not only in financial ;way.
but in such other ways as would tend to
bring strikes to sudden and successful
termination. Beyond this, the fedora.
ton would aim to so influence legisla.
ton as to promote the protection and
advancement of labor interests, and
would keep committees at Washington
and at state capitals Eat the right time
to eachlegislation." These committees.
Mr.. Martin explains, "would be backed
by millions of voters, and hence would
be influential"
