The Arkansaw traveler., 1885-05-23

That night when the preacher called for mourners. Hettie suddenly appeared. She looked at no one but with low cry, she sank upon the bench. People who had never had kind word to say of the girl, gathered around her and whispered consoling words in her ears. Everyone seemed to be glad that Mean Het was unable to longer fight against the spirit. The girl was so earnest that the meeting was prolonged. Just as an old exhorter arose to say that the services would be brought to close, Hettie sprang to her feet, uttered c.y of joy and seized her mother. It was now useless to att tempt dismissal of the meeting. The little church had never known a season of such shouting. Old man Billingsly lifted his lusty voice and his wife, in a transport of happiness, singing in a voice oftremulous joy, time and again declared that the Lord had issued a special de- cree in hex favor.
 The preacher was happy. He had been the means of accomplishing work which every one had thought to be i'm. possible. He was ardently sincere; he believed that soul had been saved.
 Hettie no longer avoided him. Her face had undergone an entire change Her smile was radiant. One evening, shortly after her conversion, she and the preacher sat on large rock.
 Hettie, you do not know how bright your face has grown"
 "And you, Mir. Wilkins, do not know how light my heart has grown. look with pity upon my former self. 1 can now realize the truth of what you have told me-"
 Hettie, you have been more to me than have to you, yes, much more. taught you duty; you taught me love. Oh, girl, love you, l love you"
 She did not reply, but she put her arms around his neck.
 This occurred several years ago. Mrs Hettie Welkins, wife of the presiding elder, is one of the most modest and pious women in Arkassaw. She often tells her husband that he more than once saved her-that his "hello was almos, as saving as his earnest voice of admoni- ton.

 SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Mexico has appointed a commission for the scientific investigation of it's natural products.
 To the great variety of scientific con- gresses of recent years is to be added an In- terna,ional Congress of Hydrology and Cli- matology. to meet at Biarritz in 1866.
 A gigantic crystal of spodumene, found in Dakota, measures, according to Professor Blake, thirty-six feet in length and from one to three feet in thickness.
 In Paris remarkable success has att tended experiments in photographing the country from captive balloon. The oper- ators remain upon the ground, and open the valve of panoramic object-glass by means of an electric current,
 From recent inform ation. it appears that the known plants of Australia and Tas- mania, numbering about oooo, occur in the following proportions in the respective colo nies: Western Australia, 3-45s; Queensland, 3r457; New South Wales, s.1s4; Northern Australia, 1929; Victoria, 1890; South Aus, tralia, I,sI6; and Tasmania, I,o2s.
 A remarkable effect of low tempera- ture has been pointed out to the Glasgow Philosophical society. At about I2a degrees below zero Fahrenhei, the flesh of animals, such as mutton, becomes so exceedingly hard as to ring like porcelain when struck, and 1t may be readily crushed to a fine sow- der. More singular still, microb obia living in the flesh before freezing have been seen alive after thawing, even after an exposure of 100 hours to the intense cold.
 Season Predetermined.-S time ago the discovery was made by Mons. Ch. Montigny, by means of beautiful instrument called the scintillomeier, that blue largely predominates in the twinkling of the stars when there is much water in the atmosphere, and that the preponderance of green CT of violet is indicative of great dryness. A late series of tables by this Brussels savant in- dicates that he has hit upon a law by which wet or dry season may be predicted with great certainty. Perhaps the best test of the soundness of his views is found in the fact that his scintillometric forecasts of the in- creasing drought in Belgium of the years 1883 and 1884 were fulfilled to the letter.

CHAPTER III.

Wilkins boarded with Billingsly. The preacher tried in vain to engage the girl in another serious conversion. She did not avoid him, but when he attempted to draw from her serious expression, she would make perplexing replies.
 A great revival was organized at the little church. Hettie would not walk with the preacher, and, in fact, she would not have attended the meeting had not her father compelled her to do SO. One evening, just before church time, the old gentleman called Hettie. He received no answer. The old fellow raved. He searched the premises, but could not find her. The preacher was grieved and Mrs. Billingsly was humiliated. They went to church without the girl. When they had gone, Hettie came out from her hiding place. Her eyes were red, and her cheeks were tear-stained. She attempted to read, but threw down the book. She tried to laugh, but burst into tears. The clock struck nine. Brushing back her hair, she stood for moment as though she were deeply thinking, then, throwing light shawl around her shoul- ders, she rushed from the house.
 The preacher had begun to call for mourners; the brothers and sisters had begun to sing an old hymn, when Hettie entered the church. Without looking up she walked quickly to the mourners' bench and knelt down. The people were astonished. When the services were closed, the preacher looked for Hettie, but she had disappeared. He did not see her at the breakfast table, the next morning. In apology, Mrs. Billingsly said that her daughter was not well. She did not come down to dinner, neither did she make her appearance at the sup per table. The old man was much soft ened toward the girl, and before going to church he went up and kissed her. It was such surprise, it moved her so deeply that she sobbed aloud.

CHAPTER II.

When the preacher had gone to bed MT. Billingsly having secured the appl, tree sprout, called his daughter.
 Father, please don't whip me. won't do it any more."
 "Do what?''
 "Do anything. I'll be good, declare l will. l won't go fishing any more un' less you tell me to go."
 "What made you put that rock under the saddle and turn the horse loose, hah p
 "l don't know, but if you won't whip me, never will do it any more"
 "I heard you talk that way before Come here to me" 1"
 Just as he raised the switch, the preacher calling from the head of the stairs, said:
 "Oh, Brother Billingslyw
 "Yes."
 "Step here minute, please"
 The old man went up. The preacher said: "You must really excuse me for going to bed without having held prayers. l am very young in the cause, you know, and really forgot it. Is it too lateF"
 |" No; we might pray little."
 The preacher put on his clothes, came down stairs and mmoned the family. Mean Hettie joined the circle of devo- tion. When the services were over, the preacher, tine old man and the old ladv engaged in long conversation. The prayer had aroused them and they talked until late hour. In the meantime the girl slipped away and went to bed.
 The next day was Sunday. MT. Will kins had an appointment to preach in a little church situated a short distance from the Billingsly farm.
 "When the time arrived, Wilkins asked the girl if he might accompany her. She laughed uproariously.
 "You are the first person that ever wanted to go with me anywhere" she said
 "lt does not, however, give you cause to refuse"
 "Oh, I'm not going to refuse. The girls-and hate nearly all of them = think it is awful smart to catch new preacher" "I hope that this alone does not in. fiuence you to accompany me-" "No." "You have nobler motive"
 "Yes, want to see how foolish 1t will make father look" "You ought not talk that way" @Why, don't you like to hear the truth ?"
 "Oh, yes, but no one should entertain such truths. They are pernicious. A truth can be quite as bad as lie"
 "Well, l have another reason"
 T am glad to hear it"
The Arkansaw traveler., 1885-05-23
q. is better reason than the other

"It is better reason than the other one.''
 "What is it2'
 "I want to see how curious it will make mother look"
 "Miss Billingsly, you are provoking" "So are you. They are ready. Come on"
 MT. Billingsly and his wife were sur prised to see the preacher walking with their daughter, for, having listened to neighbors who are never complimentary, they thought that Hettie was the worst child in the world.
 The young preacher was success. At first he was embarrassed, but receiv- ing, from the kindly faces around him, an inspiration of confidence, he threw of all restraint and thrilled the congregation.
 "How did you like my sermon?' he asked of Hettie as they were walking along the road.
 It did first rate for beginner"
 The preacher was disappointed. Of all the people in the house, he desired most to impress the girl. Percieving his disappointment, and suffering a slight sting of remorse, she added:
 "lt was the best sermon ever heard. The heather was touched"
 He looked earnestly at her. She laughed so loud that Billingsly and his wife, who were walking some distance in advance, looked back at her.
 "You do not call yourself heather, do you2"
 "Yes."
 "Why?"
 "Can't help it."
 "You have no cause to call yourself a heather. Are not your psrents good christians ?"
 "Yes, but am heathen. Wonder what would become of me if l were to die. Oh, l know. would be buried"
 "Miss Billingsly, you should not talk so."
 "It's the truth, for would be buried"
 "Of course your body would be buried, but what would become of your soul2"
 That's what want to know"
 "Why do you not give up your wicked ways and profess Christi"
 How do you know that am wicked ?"
 "Oh, do not know that you are more wicked than other girls, but you must re- member that every unregenerated person is wicked. No matter if you had never told an untruth.; no matter if you had never caused the least pain, you would, without regeneration, be wicked and therefore unworthy of heaven"
 "I don't see why" Perhaps not. The unregenerated always have excuses. Those who steel their hearts against the love of the Sa- vior- those who are against Him because they are not for Him-cannot find place in the fold"
 "Do you know why am so bad ?"
 "I do not know that you are SO bad"
 "l am though"
 "Then, why are youf"
 Because, ever since can remember, everybody has told me how bad am. must have been a repulsive child, for cannot remember that visitor to our house ever took me up and caressed me. Nothing could make me bitter, SO just became bad. have made many attempts to behave myself, but the first thing knew, something would come up to turn me back. know that l am almost a woman-but we have talked enough about it. l have already talked more freely to you than have ever talked to anyone else"

 Then Pushpadanta wandering about
 in human form was further heard of un-
 der the name of Vararuchi and Katya-
 yana. Having attained the utmost limits
 of knowledge, and having been the min
 ister of Nandin, being depressed he went
 once upon time to see the hermit of the
 Vindhya mountains. And the goddess be-
 ing pleased with his penance, directed him
 in his sleep to go to the Vindhya forest
 and visit Kanabhuti. And there wander
 ing about in forest, waterless and almost impenetrable, full of tigers and apes, he beheld lofty Indian fig tree. There he saw in its vicinity, surrounded by hun dred Pisachas, the Pisacha Kanabhuti. similar in form to Sala tree. He hay. ing been seen by Kanabhuti, who re- spectfully clasped his feet, Katyayans sitting down immediately spoke to him.
 " Since you follow good customs, how have you come to this state?" Having heard this, Kanabhuti said to him, since he had feeling of affection for Kanab- hui: "I myself do not know, bat listen to what heard Siva say in the cemetery at UDayini. Twill now tell you that. Why, my lord, do you take delight in skulls and cemeteries!' The adorable one was thus asked by Durga and he answered {: Long ago when all things had been de- stroyed the world became water; then burst asunder my thighs and let fall a drop of blood that, having water within, became an egg; from that arose the spirit, the creator, then issued all material things created by me for creation, and they created the other lords of creatures. and then these created creatures hence, my beloved, the supreme spirit is called in the world the paternal grandfather. Thus having created all things movable and immovable that spirit became puffed up with pride, for that reason then cut of his head. Then l. through sorrow, took upon myself great VOW. Hence it is that carry skulls in my hands and take delight in cemeteries. Moreo yer, the world which looks like skull rests on my hand for the two skull-shaped eggs before mentioned are called heaven and earth Siva having thus spoken, I then listened out of curiosity then again Parvati asked her hush and, In how long time will this Pushpadanta come back to usr Mahesvara, hearing that, while he pointed to me, spoke to the god dess {: "This Pisacha whom you behold was Yaksha, the servant of Kovira and he had for friend Rakshasa called Sthulasiras the lord of wealth, perceiving that he had intercourse with the evil one, ordered him to go to the forest of Vind- hya. Then his brother, Dirghajangha, having fallen at the feet of the god. asked when the curse would end. The god of wealth said: "After he has heard the great story from Pushpadanta, who came into this world on account of curse, and after it has been told to Malyavau, who became mortal on account of a curse, he, together with two Ganas, shall be re- leased from the curse" Thus the ending of his curse in this world was then de- creed, and SO of Pushpadanta, remember

The old man glared at the girl. The old lady violently cleared her throat.

The old man glared at the girl. The old lady violently cleared her throat
 "Obligations to me2 Why, Miss Bil- lingsly, do not understand you"
 Yes, I am. Father was just about to larrup me with an apple tree sprout when you came"
 "Leave this room," demanded the old man. eco on, tell you. That switch is still handy, and you shall feel it yet"
 The girl left the room. The astonished MT. Wilkins sat down, and recovering somewhat from his embarrassment, said |:
 "Brother Billingsly, how is the condi- ton of the church in this neighborhood2 P
 "Pretty fair"
 "At the last meetin'," remarked the old lady, "we had three of as bright con- versions as ever saw. There has been little backslidin' lately, caused by bran dances an the like, but with the right sort of work the church can be put in first rate condition. This is your first charPe, ain't it2"
 "Yes, have just come from college. Although have never been actively en- gagged in the vineyard, yet l believe that can do good work. have"
 The minister uttered an exclamation and ran out into the yard. His horse was galloping away. A giggling girl drew back behind a corner of the house. She had unhitched the horse. The preacher, by climbing fences and cross ing rugged places, succeeded in catching the horse, but at least two hours were spent in the perplexing exercise.
 How is this, Brother Billingsly?"
 "What, Brother Wilkins2"
 "Why tied my horse securely but you see he has the bridle over his head. This is certainly strange. Won't you ride to the house, Brother Billingslyi"
 "Oh, no, am used to walking"
 "Well will ride" He mounted the horse. The animal lunged forward, kicked up and threw the young man. He struck the earth with a noise similar to that produced by striking the ground with board.
 "My gracious l" exclaimed Mir. Bill ingsly, Are you hurt2"
 The preacher grunted.
 MT. Biilingsly caught the horse. MT. Wilkins said that there was surely some mistake. "Why, sir, he never acted this way before"
 The old man adjusted the saddle. A fragment Of flint rock fell on the gGound. The old man shook his head and sighed deeply.
 "What is the matter, Brother Bill lingsly?"
 "l was thinking of the sinfulness there is in this world"
 "Yes, the world is full of sin but it is our duty to eradicate it"
 "Well, let us go to the house."
