The Sea of Galilee,

One of the first things for which I
looked here was the fishing industry,
but I found it not. There is evidently
only one sailing vessel on the lake, and
but q very small handful of clumsy row.
boats. When one of these boats gets
out of order there is general consterna-
ton, it is said, for the art Of ship build
ing is no longer known here. When
we sent our servant to-day with in%struc-
tons to procure Galilee fish for dinner
he was unable to lind a single fish in
the market. This is especially strange,
inasmuch as | have had especial evi-
dence that the waters swarm with
piscatorial life to-day, just as in
the days when Christ called Gall
lean fishermen to his discipleship.
Yet fishing is still carried on here on
a small scale. Even last night I saw .
boat push out to sea with nets aboard,
just as Simon did, no doubt, when he
was bound to "toil all night" at the
same business.
This leads me to guess, or, atleast to
hope that the citizens were not so law
and worthless in the days of the Son Of
Man. They could not have been any
worse. The modern Galilean would
ride two-thirds the way around the
lake on tie ragged back of a donkey
or camel rather than display the enter
prise required to effect a crossing in
one-sixth of the time by boat. Stupid
ity and cupidlty are everywhere linked
in a way that tries occidental patience

A New Story Of Tom corwin.

1t was seldom that Corwin made any
enemies. especially in his own party
On one occasion, however, he chang ed
one Of his warmest admirers into a ram
pant Democrat with a bit of sarcasm.
It was in the campaign of AZ. He
spoke in Lancaster and stopped at the
principal hotel, kept by a Wing. The
biscuits seem to have been heavy enough
to attract the Wagner Boys attention.
When Corwin was about to leave for
the next town the landlord was all
smiles and good wishes, and SAID:
"Mr. Corwin, if there is anything ]
can do to aid you in defeating Wilson
Shannon, you have only to mention it,
"That's very generous" said Cor win.
"But I mean it," said Boniface.
Only tell me what I can do and I will
do it,"
There is only one thing you car do,
replied Corwin, "but I dislike to refer
to 30 delicate a matter"
"Out with it, Mr.. Corwin; out with
it. I'll do anything for the cause.
Only mention it, that's ALL"
"Well MI. Landlord, I'll tell you
what you can do to defeat Mr.. Shan.

"And then feed him on the same kind
of biscuits that we had this morning.
Get half a dozen oftllem into Shannon
and he will weigh so much that he can't

Corwin whipped up his horses and

gone a political transformation. From
a Wing he changed to a Democrat, and
was "~fernist" Tom Corwln for the rest

All Owing to Her Hat. u

In the blunder here related, there
were two persons mortified, but the

One of the church wardens was OBJ
served to cast uneasy glances toward
an individual wearing a sailor jacket
and cap of a seafaring and jaunty ap-
pearance, which latter surmounted a
clean shaver face and closely cut hair.
After a little while he approached the
sailor laddie, and whispered audiblv,-
Cant youtake off your hat? Is there
any reason why you can't take off your
hat?"
By the discounted look of the aues-
toner as he returned to his seat, and
the appearance of the rest of the COS

out OF church at the conclusion Of the

The last days of John Randolph Of
Roanoke are full of pathos. He thought
he was dying for years before he did so,
and when he was asked how he was he
would reply: Dying! dying! dying!"
He was tyrannical and dictatorial until
the last and he fought with his doctor
on his death-bed over the pronunciation
of certain words. Ills death occurred
i'll a Philadelphia hotel. A few minutes
before he died the doctor wanted ia
leave him, but Randolph objected and
his slave took the key, locked the door
and put the key in his pocket. With
his last words Randolph declared that
he wanted his slaves freed, and he kept
the doctor there as a witness of his
dying declaration. A sceptic through
life, he appreciated his condition when
on his deathbed, and among his last
words was "remorse." He was lying
perfectly quiet with his eyes closed when
he suddenly reused up and screamed out
in an agitated voice "Remorse !remorsel
remorse!" He then cried out, "Let
me see the world" There was no die.
OAOuoIJ ub uhuu, huu uo WY tO1u no.
He exclaimed. Write it, then! Let
me see the world" The Doctor picked
up one of his cards labeled, "Randolph
of Roanoke" "Shall I write 1t on this: =
Eyes; nothing more proper" was Ran
dolph's reply. The word remorse wac
written on it in pencil, and handed te
him. He looked at it o moment with
great intensity, "Write it on the back"
he exclaimed. It was done ana hand
ed him again. He looked at it with
blazing eyes. "Remorse!" he said,
"you can have no idea Of it whatever;
it has brought M to my present situa.
tion-but I have looked to Jesus Christ
and I hope to obtain pardon" He
then asked the doctor to draw g line
under the word and told him to Ike, !
the card.
A short time after this his keen eye
began to dull, his powerful mind gave
way and within two hours he died.
