cousins, the signal hoated from the
window to warn them; and when they
saw the pursuing party dash madly
down the road to the river, and recog.

they pulled swiftly out to sea.
The horsemen reached the shore only
to see the boat with two men In it

their destined prey had escaped, relin-

Meanwhile, the hunted victim lay
safe and quiet, where the simple

The music comes stealing family,
Far out with q vague unrest,
To meet and Kiss the moonlight
That lies on the oceans breasL.
ADJ that We two were sleeping,
where the pale and weird beams stray;
Our eyes unstained by weeping,
Our souls In Heavens keeping,
Our hearts at peace for aye.
For We two are the roses scattered,
think. on the autumn breeze;
Fer us should be tho requiem
soUbed through the aching trees.
Ahi that Ne two were lying
Where the scattered foso leaves stray,
Never more our hearts eutcrying,
Never more our hopes all dying,
Soul and heart at peace tor aye.
The ebb and flow Of the future ears
VIII bring more nie hts like this,
And the moonlight on the water
Be thrilled by the niRht-bird's kiss;
But until We two are sleeping,
know not how or when,
Can tho years hold in their keeping,
Aught but the lone hearts weeping
We two must pine till then.

A Hint to Preachers.

Speaking of sermons, the Rev. DIR.
Phillips BROOKS, of Trinity Protestant
Episcopal church, Boston, recently said
"Let q preacher once get the idea that
every sermon, or any particular sermon,
is to be a great sermon, and he 10 all
lost. The sermon of which nobody
speaks, and the sermons which come
from mind and heart, and go to the
mind and heart with as little conscious
ness as possible of tongue or ear, those
are the sermons that do the work, that
make men better and really sink into
their affections"

Do You knowf

Has the farm yielded you any profit
during the closing year? You know it
has at least furnished you living,
which is more than some other kinds
of business have done for their opera
tors but has it not in that time, de-
spite discouragements of season and
circumstances, yielded you a return
besides? Can you tell, in fact, wheth-
err you have made or lost money in
the last twelve months? And if you
are IN doubt about tits there any good
reason for your uncertainty? Ought
you not rather to know positively
whether you have advanced or retro
graded in the matter of business sue
cess? If you do not know is not your
management open to the least bit OF
severe criticism? Is there any more
tenable ground for your ignorance of
what you have done in the year than
for a similar ignorance on the part OF
the merchant or manufacturer respect
ING the outcome of his business Ii
YOU do not know how your work has
turned out, but are satisfied that you
have been losing, are you satisfied that
loss is wholly attributed to dull times
and adverse financial conditions Are
these sufficient explanation for fail
ure to gain on the work of the
preceding year? These are the
questions which no one can ponder
seriously without profit. Weigh them
well, and answer them squarely at the
bar of your own judgment. You can
not afford to dismiss them lightly.
Measure your own work by the stern
rule of common sense, and then enter
your holiday recreations with the con-
seriousness of deserving the satisfac-
ton and rest which they should bring.

Mrs. Bayard, wife of the Secretary
of State, died at her residence in
Washington, D. c., on Sunday morn
ing. The immediate cause of Mrs.
Bayard's death was congestion of the
brain, brought on by the shock of her
daughters sudden death two weeks
ago. For the first week following
that event she stood the strain quite
well, but was finally compelled to take
her bed and gradually grew worse.
On Thursday congestion of the brain
appeared. She was unconscious "a
hours before her death. Although for
years Mrs. Bayard had been a con-
firmed invalid, she had for the last
six months been in improved health.
Last Summer she was very i'll at her
home in Wilmington, Del, with a
complication of diseases of the liver
and stomach, and her recovery at that
time was considered doubtful. At
the solicitation of her daughter, Kate,
she put herself under the care of DIR.
F. A. Gardner, of Washington, and
had improved so much as to be able
to 90 into society this winter, and was
in comparatively good health when
her daughter died. She was about oil
years of age. With the exception of
Der daughter, Mrs. Warner, of Bos-
ton, and her son, who is in Arizona,
the family were present when she died.
The body was taken to Wilmington
for burial on Monday and the funer-
al was held Tuesday.

The pension laws of the United
States provide that pension to a

by some Congressman, who presume

second husband also dies and the
widow thus becomes doubly widowed,
she shall again draw her original pen
sion from the treasury of Uncle Sam.
