Princess Alice Once a Skeptic.

1t was in 1866 that Princess Alice. at
her w desire, became acquainted with
the famous David Frederick Strauss.
He lived ut Darmstadt for four years,
during which period he had FREQUENT
intercourse with the Princess, and read
to her his letters on Voltaire. Much As
1t may be regretted that the influence of
Strauss should have been brought to
bear upon her, no one can help admir-
ing the courage with which she faced
the difficulties to WHICH his TEACHINGS
gave rise, especially when one considers
with What reluctance and ever distress
she must have allowed his opinions to
influence her mind. In sharp conflict
with the most sacred traditions of her
youth, she did not shrink from accent
Ing the dedication Of his work on Vol
talre. No doubt there is a non-believ-
ing attitude which is easier to take nm
IN the everyday life than the believing
one. 1t is far less trouble, it is more
natterlng to ones power of discern
ment, not to believe a thing than to
believe it. When Stephenson first
p~rophesicd before a Committee of tha
house OF Commons the rate at which
steam should conquer time and snace.

SABBATH EVENING POEM

lprof. ". C.. Richards read a poem at the
closing services on the Sabbath evening of
the Point Chautauqua Baptist social Unlon
from which we are permltted TO quote the
closing stanZas. We are sure they will make
orr readers wish they could have heard the
whole Wdtchmh'i.I
/ love the Sabbath for its sweetintent,
Earth to withdraw and Heaven to bring the
nearer,
Strength to renew, JUS cares anu tufulolls
And make the Masters will and word seem
dcarcr.
True Sabbath peace and joy no heart can
That through the week feels no divine
Their Heavenly tide through allthe days must
flow.
Al every day the rivers seek the ocean.
..The Son of Man is of the Sabbath Lord"
BY His decree who first the day made holy;
Who hallows it in heart and wish and word
Finds Sabbath rest, and in such service
solely.
lis we'll we close our sweet symposium here,
With Sabbath songs to star-gemmed skies
ascending;
God, only, knows how few of us. next year,
Will-with the lakes and woods soft MUIR
murs blending
Dur voices raise to Him, who. in our flesh,
Once trod in might Genessareth's mad
pillows:
And who, with power and love, forever fresh,
pillows.
And while on LIES wild sea our barks shall
And SIN shall menace us with dire disaster,
Christ form and voice shall shield us from
all LOSE,
And into port Wen enter with the Master.

Mr.. Machrie's Pot Of Money.

Alexander Machrie is a foreman fol
the Spencer & Craig Printing Company
He lives on Wright street, Covington.
where he owns q little home. He il
known among his associates as an in
dustrious worker, who spends very
little of his time or money in saloons
and places of amusement. Every pay
day he managed to put away a few
dollars for safe keeping, until finally he
had accumulated four hundred dollars.
The young man guarded his little
treasure with jealous care. Frequently
he read in the daily papers about fail
ures of savings banks, which had been
trusted by poor people with their few
hard-earned dollars, and this made him
lose faith in institutions of this kind.
He resolved to become his own banker,
and concluded to bury his money in the
cellar of his house. At midnight, about
four months ago, he took up his lamp
and . spade and began digging out
a few feet of the dirt in a corner OF
the cellar. The four hundred dollars
consisted of Treasury notes of all de-
nominations. They were placed in a
strong box and deposited in the hole he
had dug. The box remained undis-
turbed in its hiding place until recently,
when Machrie opened it to see if it was
all there yet.
On taking off the lid he staggered
back pale and frightened. Instead Of
the crisp, new bank notes he had placed
there a short while ago he found a hard
lump of paper, which appeared to him
solid as stone. His g%reenbacks had be-
come a petriied mass. The heavy
rains had filled the cellar with water
and loosened the dirt, so that the damp
air penetrated the opening of the tin
box and converted the paper into pulp.
At first Machrie grieved over his great
loss. But his hopes frightened when
he was told that the Government would
probably redeem the money. He called
at the su%b-treasury, and was told to
present the matter in writing to the
Treasury Department at Washington.
He confided his secret to MI. Craig, one
of his employers, and the latter wrote a
letter to Secretary Folger. The reply
came that before the ruined bank notes
would be redeemed their owner would
have to prove good character and make
affidavit as to the truth of his statement.
Mr.. Craig, in another letter, vouched for
Machrie's honesty and integrity, and at
the same time inclosed an affidavit con-
tanning the facts as related, which was
drawn up by Mr.. W. H. Mccoy, a law
yer, and sworn to before a notary. An
answer from Washington is expected
now daily.-CSncinnaH Gazette.
