Good Humor and Good Digestion.

easy to believe such house once
stood there. But Cooper, it is said,
always declared it was merely a fancy
Of his own. The lake is elsewhere of

On a projection called Whites
Point, not far north Of Hutter's
Point, was the Huron camp, from
which Deeslayer was released under
his mere pledge to return, and to
which he did return, with the sure
prospect of tortue and death before
him.. A hill rises from the point,
and just behind it is the glen through
which the indians wildly ran in pur-
suit of Deerslayer, who had broken
away from the torture. 1t is easy to
fix.aboHt the spot where he reached
the canoe, only to find that its pad
dies were gone, and the shingly
beach is there to which the faint
breeze drifted it again, putting him
back in the hands of the Hurons. To
any one who has followed all this
with bated breath, it will seem
strange TO come here and find it all so
real.
This shore of the lake, the west
ern, has been cleared in many places,
but the eastern shore is still closely
wooded everywhere. AS the Larty

at the last landing the sur is setting.
The lake lies smooth before us, across
to the dark green hills on the other
shore, its surface unbroken by any

THE DIS APPOINTED.

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
There are songs enough for hero,
Who dwells on the heights of fame;
I sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.
l sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last. best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
I sing for the breathless runner.
The eager. anxious soul
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight Of the goal
For the hearts that break In silence
With sorrow all unknown
For those who need CO npanions,
Yet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers
Who share loves tender pain;
sing for the one whose passion
Isgiven, and in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on their way,
sing with heart o'erflowing,
This minor strain to-day.
And know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space.
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost his race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless it held s,me sphere
That paid for The toll and talent,
And love that was wasted here.

There is a peculiar charm and
power in the love of Jesus, as seen
in st. Matthew's gospel. When he
himself speaks of love, as in the
fourth gospel by the apostel whom
he loved. our love IS summoned TO
attend, our affections so to speak,
are in waiting-called specially into
life; but when love shines through
majesty. when we see the crook
Of the sheperd il the lifted right arm
Of power, we are soothed as by sweet
sayings overheard. and tokens Of
affection discovered unawares; We
see not only the son of man loving
his brethren, not only the SON Of
God loving. the world, but our eyes
Seem 10 behold the king in his beau
ty, aud We feel, in onr weakness, the
everlasting arms beneath us.-Dean

Why Gordon Kept the Farm.

The prcminent part Gen. G. e.
Gordon has lately played in the fes'
tivities at Montgomery, Ala, brings
to mind that his father became Il
millionair solely through his love for
good spring water.
The elder Gordon, father of Gener.
al and Walker Gordon, formerly re-
sided in what is now Marion County,
Tenn. About forty years ago be
bought strip Of barren mountain
land for $50. The land was too poor
to be farmed, had no timbef of value
ue nit, and Gordon bought it more
to help its owner than because he
wanted the property. Soon after he
moved to Georgia, and almost forgot
that lie owned the tract.
One day an old Tennessee neigh
Dor rode up to his door and was re-
ceived with great coldiality. The
TenHessean, said he was i'm Georgia
on business, and thought he would
see his old neighbor before return.
ing home.
After conversing on different sub.
jects, the Tennesseean brought the
conversation around to real estate.
"By the way, Gordon said the
Tennessean, causually, "yoa have a
piece of land next to mine, would
you like to sell 1t? 1t is not worth
mucb,' he. continued, "but it will
do for me to let the bees run on
Well replied Gordon, 81 had al
most forgotten that strip; what will
you give for it?''
II don't think it's worth more
than $10,7 said the Tennessean,
carelessly.27
ooh! 1 reckon it's worth more than
that. Ipaid $50 for it, but then l
justas lief get rid of it,for it's no use
to nae now.'
"I'H give you $40 for it,
"Go little better" said Gordon.
with a smile.
"Well iii give you $50 for it,
Gordon thought there was a slight
eagerness in the Tennessean's voice
and SO stood out for more.
The Tennessean raised to $50, being
refused, continued 10 raise until he
reached 300. BY this time Gordon
was aroused, and Informed the Ten
nessean that he reckoned he'd take a
trip to Tennessee and look at the
land. His neighbor nov saw that he
had made a mistake, SO tried to dis
suade Gordon from the trip, saying
the roads were not only bad but
dangerous to riders. Cor ION said he
reckoned he'had as good horse,
pistol and rife as anybody, and was
not afraid of few hundred miles in
the saddle, Git was through wild
mountain country.
After some further talk the pair
made arrangements and started out.
The ride WAS through wild
though beautiful country, and was
accomplished In safety. After a rest
at the house of the Tennessean the
two gentlemen started out to inves-
tigate the land. 1t Is dreary levk-
ing place, a short distance south Of
the present Memphis and Charleston
Railroad, and not far from the
Georgia line. The land lies on the
mountain side, and is about. as
miserable a looking piece Of land as
can be found. Old Gordon gazed at
it few minutes and said: Il reck-
en- you were right, neighbor; the
land is net worth S5.''
They proceeded a short distance
further, Gordon was congratulating
himself on the idea of getting 800

to him, when he spied trail wind
