And there she stopped short and grew

s'Is it so?'' said the musical man, in that
soft tenor of his. 'sIs there any one who
really cares wether live or die?''
81 do," whispered Mrs. Moody, with a
| fresh burst of tears.
1t would be difficult to describe exactly
how it happened. Middle-aged love-mak-
| ing is never like the ecstasies of youth.
But it uranspised, that Morton laid his
heart at Mrs. Moody's feet, and she con-
fessed that she had learned to love him
during the times when she and death
stood together over his pillow.
"You are my guardian angel" said he,
ferventy.
"a poor one enough she murmured
"Oh, wish for your sake Paul, that
were younger and prettier?'
"You are beautiful in my sight" he re-
turned with emphasis. sYour eye was the
first that beamed hope and cheer upon me
your heart was the first that softened to
my woes. Sweetheart, the flower which
blooms at noon-day may surely be as sweet
as the morning violet"
They were still talking thus, when Mrs
Moody caught sight of a letter lying on the
table.
"Ob, forgotp' she said. The postman!
| And it was letter for you, Paul. A for
eign letter.
"a foreign, eh? That is something
which does not often greet my eyes, he
said. "And it has a black seal, too.''
He broke it. open and read it, while un-
consciously Ms. Moody trimmed the dead
bloom off her hyacinth plant with dainty
pair of scissors.
"Mollie," he said suddenly. "read this.
Henceforth have no secret from you.
It was simple enough, and yet how mar
vellous! An accident in Swiss railway
train, and apoplectic fit carrying off rich
banker in London, and the two lives which
interveIied between Paul Morton and
fortune had been removed almost on the
same day.
The musical man disinherited by his
devotion to art-jeered by his relations be-
cause he resolutely remained true to music
was rich at last.
Mrs. Moody grew pale.
you won't care for me, nOw," she said.
ooh, Paul, am sorry! and yet I ought to
be glad"
''On the contrary he said tenderly, 81
care for you more than ever, my jewel! I
can place you in fit setting at last"
OF course all this made great sensation
in Redstone street. There were plenty TO
declare that they bad known all along that
Paul Morton was born aristocrat There
were plenty to assert that Mrs. Moody was
a scheming plotter. But neither of the
pair cared straw what people said
Mrs. Moody sold out the lease and
goodwill of establishment in Redstone
street and went to Europe with her hus-
band, the happiest Of forty year old
brides.
While Major Peck polished his eye
glasses with the corner of silk handker-
chief, and murmured thoughtfully:

blessings of the Christian religion, and
realized a more heartfelt interest in the
cause of missions. He assured him in be-
half of the people, that for long years to
come his name would live among them, em-
balmed with all their hearts could give, their
hopeful words and their prayers.
Beverly in it's religious history is associat-
ed with the life of Stonewall jackson. For
a number of years it was his custom to pay
annual visits to his sisters home who resid-
ed here. To his painful surprise he found
skeptical opinions widely prevalent among
the more intelligent and influential resi-
dents. His spirs5 was stirred within him,
and he prepared and delivered a series of
lectures on the evidences of Christianity.
The result was of most gratifying charac-
ter. The sons and daughters of some of
these skeptical parents are earnest and use
fnl Christians, . I'd were present to hear and
encourage the missionary.
It is believed this is the only place among
the West Virginia mountains where the
General felt it needful to lecture at that
period The whole skepticai trouble is
traceable to the insidious influence of nice :,
sprightly young man from New Jersey, who
was employed As a private tutor in wealthy
Beverly famiis. about the first of the CEN
tury. The writer's mountain experience
enables him to appreciate some thoughts
written by a person who travelled alone
among the mountains of Switzerland: "It
is good to be among the mountains alone,
good for both mind and heart. Not that
man is nearer to heaven in place upon the
mountain than at his own fireside, though
nearer the blue sky and the stars. But it is
not without purpose that we are told in
Scripture of our blessed Lords love of the
mountains and of solitude. He went apart
into mountain to pray; He withdrew him
self into desert place, and there prayed;
He went out into the wilderness and pray
ed; He went up into mountain to pray and
continued all night in prayer to God; He
went up into mountain to pray when He
was transfgured, and his disciples saw his
glory. When the soul is fitted for it, there
is natural connection between the noun
tain tops and prayer, and spiritual glory"
From mountain top Jesus assembled to
glory. Some day his feet shall stand on
the Mount of Olives. Thinking of Jesus as
now reigning above, I would adopt as my
own such words as these:
Oh. would live always; ask but to go
To that region above US, unlike this below;
The one morn of glory that Gawns on US there
Has no storm OF sorrow. and no cloud of care.
Oh, would live alway, untempted by sin,
All holy around me, and all clean within;
Assured of my pardon, because safe In heaven,
A sinner no longer, forever forgiven.
After journey of two hundred and sixty
five miles, the writer and son reached home,
refreshed and dinvlgora,ed, glad to be at homo
once more.

WRITE OFTEN,


Write to me very often,
Write to me very soon,
Letters to me are dearer
Than the lovliest flowers in June.
They are affections torches,
Lighting of friendships lamp;
Fitting around the heart-strings,
Like fire-f1ies in the damp.
Write to me very often,
Write in the joyous morn,
Or at the close of evening,
When all the day is gone.
Then while the stars are beaming
Bright on the azure sky,
When through the fading forest
Cold the wild winds sigh,
Draw up the little table -
Close to the fire and write;
Write to me soon in the morning,
Or write to me late at night.
Write to me very often;
Letters are links that bind
Truthful hearts 90 each other,
lettering mind to mind,
Giving to kindly spirit
Lasting and true delight.
If ye would strengthen friendship,
Never forget TO write.
