burglars robbed the safe of S. A. Sage

forced an entrance through a window

door two inches deep, and then, with a
large iron bar and stone knocked the
lbolts and locks to pieces and gained &C.
cess to the interior. Checks, drafts and
other papers, amounting to $500 or 5000
were stolen, with small sum in cash
and a receipt book. This is the second

nearly noon when, foot-sore, weary,
dusty, and sick for want of food, |
arrived at my mothers door.
IT was standing half pen-the
blinds were down, and murmur of
low voices came from within. Hes
itating moment before going in,
l heard the following words;
ssDo you believe that he really will
marry her? Oh, my child! My
poor, giddy, foolish child?
My mothers voice. / glanced in
she was lying on the sofa, looking
almost like death, neighbor was
sitting beside her; John sat by the
table, his face was buried in his
hands, and before him lay an open
letter-he looked up as mother
spoke--and, oh, the anguish of his
face
eff he does, I have nothing to say.
She had her choice between US.
But If he deceives her--if he brings
the girl that was to have been my
,oife to shame-TU kill him !"
I sprang into the room with a
glad cry, and stood in their midst ;
they turned-frst in JOY, to welcome
me-then suddenly they shrank from
me, every one.
Mother cried out, "Oh Lizzie,
Lizzie, what have you donef" and
wept bitterly; John stood up, white
and trembling, and asked:
"Why are you here''
"Why am here p Then I fell
down on my knees before him, and
calling upon heaven to witness my
truth, told him all that had befallen
me; he listened with an incredulous,
scornful smile.

and so kept silent
"Good night, my own,' John said,
as he left us. II win be here again

This was the note / laid on Mr..
Radnor's desk on Saturday morning.
He did not come down until nearly
noon, but as soon as he had read it
he came over to me where l sat at
my work.
ssWhat does this mean ~ he said,
with dark look. "Do you think l
am to be thrown aside like an old
glove, when you have used me to
bring some rustic lover to the point,

People were looking at us; covert
glances and sly whispers flew around;
was in agony. True, he had spoken
low-no one could hear his words ;
but the fact of his standing whisper
ing to me was almost as ruinous as
the words would have been.
81 will come," I said, in despera-
ton, "if you only won't speak to me
here. Tonight, at eight o'clock, I'll
be at the Willows"
Thought, by going there at dark,
no one would see me and tell John.
Mr.. Radnor nodded and turned away
without another word but there was
a singular smile on his face that puz-
zled and even alarmed me-
That evening, a little before night,
I slipped away without word to
mother, and ran down to the Willow
Walk. It was nearly dark 1 did not

Is Our Civilization Christian?

10 Ohi SiNlllLdllOll IlElSlldnE
From the Boston In cstgator
The notion that the enlightenment OF
the present age is due to the teaching Of
the Christian religion Is widespread
and deeply rooted. We hear 1t repeated
every day of our lives, and there is
scarcely page In the endless volume of
English literature on which the stereo-
typed phrase "Christian civilization
does not appear to awe the ignorant and
to amuse the learned. In season and
out of season We are assured that the
Bible is the handmade Of progress; that
the church is the parent, or at least the
foster-parent Of all Improvement What
mystical connection there is between
Jonah's whale and the steam engine; be-
tween Bnlaam's ass and the printing
press; between the immaculate concep-
tion and the electric telegraph, the I'M
regenerate mind is utterly unable to dis
cover.
We are sometimes gravely assured
that Isaac Newton was Christian, and
are naturally led to infer that the Bible

principle of gravtation. But when We
look In the Bible in search of such clue.
we only find that Christ and Elijah as
cended to heaven in direct violation of
that law. We find no reference there to
geologic periods. to the rotundity of the
earth, TO steam or electricity. Rather,
we find its most glowing eulogles ex-
| pended on ghostly traditions, differing
| from the fairy tales of Arabian Nights
only In their lack OF interest. Scientific
thought Is conspicuous by Its absence,
yet science Is candidly admitted even by
Christian polemics, TO be the most i'm

life.
4 To the eompilers of the Bible, Science
was utterly unknown and Incompetent
slble even in its then crude condition.
Their highest conception Of the province
of human intellect was blind obedience
to arbitrary laws, to question which was
heresy, and to resist treason; and the
church, which has ever protested to fol-
low Scripture closely, has as closely fol-
