Struck Dumb for Living.

There is great excitement among the
congregation OF the Rev. John Jasper's
church, in Richmond. Va, growing out
of the mysterious affection of colored
youth who was a member. The pastor
is the colored preacher who has become
famous for his sermon entitled "The
Sun Do Move" be youth referred to
ran away from home and told many lies
to his mothor, hoping at the same time
''that God would paralyze his tongue if
what he stated was not true" Soon
afterward he began to talk with diff
Guilty. He continued in this condition
till the night of the church meeting,
when, in as loud q voice as he was able,
he made the same declaration. calling
upon God to paralyze his tongue. I'm
mediately aiterward he was unable to
speak, and there was great consterna-
tion. The congregation believes that
the boy has been struck dumb for
lying. 1t is said he has made repeated
efforts to speak without success,
and he now answers all questions by
writing.

VOL. I. No.3/
At the End of the Journey.

We're most to the end of our journey,
My darling, and isn't it true
That mid all our losses and crosses
There's always been plenty for two?
And though of the dover of fortune
We've had but niggardly share,
Our cupboard was never so empty
We hadn't loaf we could spare.
1t seems like dream that ever
Had courage to seek and to WOO
For my wife such beautiful blossom,
So fair an exotic as you.
Twas part of the dream that you chose me
From others-you bade them depart
Preferring to riches and station
The wealth of true, loving heart.
How little we thought of the future,
Or guessed of the trials we'd meet
As out on life's journey we started
That morning so tenderly sweet
And some Of our comrades, my darling,
Whose prospects were brighter than ours,
Have broken their VOWS, and loves altar
Is hung with funereal flowers.
But we have been true to each other,
Ny darling, and never word
That might sever the bond of affection
From your lips or mine has been heard.
The love that we've cherished so fondly,
Has kept our hearts faithful and warm !:
Has strengthened, sustained, encouraged,
And sheltered from many storm.
And now that our journeys most over,
We've nothing to mourn or regret,
For love-our dear, constant companion
My darling, abides with us yet.
Fen death has no power to part us,
So long as our friendship endures;
Your heart would be seeking for mine, love,
And mine enters heaven with yours.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Sunday after Ascension was appointed
as day OF intercession for missions by

Pennsylvania, Long Island, New Jersey,
and many other dioceses.

low estImae 100000.
Chicago is the greatest lumber market
in the world. The single item of sawed

round the earth at the equator.
The burning mountain of coal in the
Novajo reservation in Arizona, which

was visited last month by two, the first
white men ever known to have seen it.

pleats around the hips.
Frankford- -on-the Main, containing a
population of about 100000, is said to
be the richest city of its size in the
whole world. If its wealth were equally
divided among its inhabitants every
man woman and child would have. it is
said, 10000 marks, or some 1900
apiece.
When notice bearing the signature
of Collector Robertson is posted in the
New York Custom House the place
where the name is written is studded
with tacks. This has been found neces-
sary because of the fact that hitherto
the signature on notices displayed pub
licly has always been cut out by un-
known persons, it is believed for i'm
proper uses.

HUMOROUS,

"There is no tyranny in America"
an Englishman writes home to his
friends. Evidently hasn't got hired

Law is like sieve; you may see
through it, but you must be con-
siderably reduced before you can get

that he took the train for Chicago.
Miss Alice Livingstone, of New York,

to have one.
The United States Fish Commis-

of Arkansas and Texas 100000 shad.

As ever danced with gay surprise,
Or melted with tear;
In whose fair rays heart may bask-
Their shadowed rays serene
But, little maid, you must not ask
Whose gentle eyes mean.

Like brooklet in the June,
That sings to please itself alone.
A little old-world tune
Whose music haunts the listeners ear,
And will not leave it free;
But 1 shall never tell you, dear,
Whose accents they may be.
know a golden-headed maid
For whom 1 built shrine,
A leafy nook of murmurous shade,
Deep in this heart of mine;
And in that calm and cool recess
To make her home she came
But, oh you'd never, never guess
That little maiden's name.

MISS HAGGERTY.

The two stood face to face in the
splendid drawing room of a palatial
mansion-one, the pattician mistress of
this home of luxury and splendor,
a leader of society, the verycreme della
creme of the richest upper. crust-Mrs.
Augustus Lord the other, the COVER
ness whom she was just in the act of
engaging for her two young daughters
"a lady more aristocratic in bearing,
more attractive in person, than herself,
and not one whit behind her in the
quiet, heighbred elegance of her man
ners.
Her references were of character to
satisfy the most fastidious, while her
accomplishments, which Mrs. Lord
tested for herself, were assured beyond
that lady's criticism. Such music as
thrilled the chords of the grand piano
under the touch of her small white
hands was rarely heard, even in that
centre of fashion and culture while as
to Frencn-Mrs. Lord, who bad lived
in Paris and who fattered herself that
her own rendering of that language
was beyond reproach, now found herself
out Parisianed by this would. be-gov-
erness whose smoothly-fowing accents
were the purest of the pure. There
fore, Mrs. Lord had nothing further to
do but to engage her valuable services
forthwith, and thank kind fortune for
having sent her such rare exponent
of grace and perfect breeding.
Reclining upon sofa at the further
end of the long drawing-room, and
smiling with amused interest over the
pages of his novel, was an almost un-
noticed spectator to this interview, to
whom the singular gifts and graces of
the goveiness appealed with power as
strong as it was new.
This was Fred. Marburg, Mrs. Lords
handsome, insO'lcidnt brother, SO cool
and unimpressible that she had long
despaired of ever getting him settled in
life as respectable Benedict. And lit
tie wonder that she held that opinion,
in view of his past career of indiffer-
ence to the fair sex. But the story had
not been told her of his last summers
romance among the New Hampshire
hills, where a lovely image had heen so
strongly outlined upon his careles heart
that it was even now dividing his atten-
tion with one of the most charmingly
impossible heroines of "Ouida' SPACES.
Yet, even with this double entertain
ment for the diversion of his mind, the
wondrous power of the strangers music
had sent an unwonted thrill through
his cool pulse, and impelled him to cast
more than one furtive, scrutinizinR
glance at the interesting woman who
had called it forth.
There she stood-Miss Haggerty-s
slender, creature of medium height,
her dead-white complexion giving
strange intensity to the expressive
dark eyes, with their level, delicate
brows, and to the mobile lips whose
low.towned Partisan accents came to his
ear with an underthrill Of passion in
keeping with her music and her face.
Yet. more than all else, was he struck
with the singular ease and elegance OF
her manner, which had so perfectly
" that repose
Which stamps the caste Of We're de We're"
That calm, serenity which Flora

The money market Of New Isrk,
after several weeks Of stringsney, has
eased of considerably during the
past week, through the influence Of
liberal disbursements by the National
treasury, aided By the distribution Of
the usual interest payments which
fall due on the lst Of the month. At
the same time the heavy flow Of cur
rency to the West, which drained the
New York market to 80 low a point,
has begun to return, and ere long this
movement will have its effect in an
increased supply of funds. On Tues
day last, in the call loan market of
New York, money ranged from 9 to IL
per cent, aud closed at 10 and IL per
cent. This state Of affairs cannot
last much longer, as it is both unrea-
sonabls and unnatural. At Philadel-
phia call loans range from 5 to 6 per
cent, the best local paper is at 6
per cent, and the financial situation of
that center is in fair working condi-
ton. This market is substantially as
heretofore. Mercantile paper ranges
from 6 to 8 per cent and the supply is
light, while funds are available on
three to six months paper at 8 per
cent from the insurance companies
The latter have their surplus funds
well employed, while several banks
hold liberal volume of idle money.
Compared with a month since, United
States bonds exhibit the following
change of values: The 81 in New Y ork
closed last evening at 103s and 10
cheaper; the Is extended at 1921, q
