Who:

lntrospection in religious matters as
in physical, needs to have short linz
it, or else it becomes the prolific source
of countless diseases. The woman
who every time you meet her recconts
her feelings of to-day and yesterday
and indicates her prognosis for the
morrow, is fast becoming, if she has
not already reached a state of chronic
ill-health. This is equally true in mat.
ters religious. A healthful man gives
immediate care to any symptoms o,
pain, and when without pain is so ell
gagged with the calls of active duty
that he forgets himself. A healthful
Christian full of self-forgetful duty
will not once week spend half hour
in looking into or discussing her own
feelings.

The contradiction between tlippant
expressions of feelings and wavering
methods of living make unbelievers Of
our children. A good sister wound up
mournful account of her. morbid i'll
ternal condition few days ago by in
forming her new pastor that not one of
her five grown up children was a
member of the church. The logical
connection between her introspection
and their rebelious lives did not seem
ever to have occurred to her.

An introspective sister said to a
brave girl who came to her house look
ing for music pupils "Oh! are you
music teacher, was just praying for
teacher for my little girl when you
rang the bell. 1 know God sent you in
answer to my prayer" The teacher
was engaged. Two days later the lady
called to say that a cousin of kers had
come OH visit and proposed to teach
her. little girl without charge. The
young music teacher mentally re-
sponded the "Lord gave and the Lord
hath taken away" She went no fur
ther with the quotation. The intro
spective are the selfish people.

DR.. Arid, the venerable moderator
of the Free Church of Scotland, tells q
good story about Il minister who, In
the old days of patronage, was forced
upon a congregation at Alness. The
minister was coldly received, as may
be imagined; but he began to visit the
people, and one day called upon an
old elder, who greeted him very gruf-
ly. The minister, however, took q
chair, and in a little while took out
snuf.box. "Oh," said the elder, "ye
talk snuff, dae we ?" "Oh, yes."
"Well," said the elder, "that's the fist
mark'o grace I've seen in ye." "How
do you make thats" asked the minis
ter. "Dae we not read O. Solomon's
temple" replied the elder. THAT the
snuflcrs were o. pure gold "'

Pearls of Thought.

Beware of Il silent dog and Il wet
rat.
The sting of reproach is the truth of
it.
Envy shoots ut others and wounds
herself.
Vows made in storms are forgotten
in calms.
Zeal without knowledge is like fire
without light.
Youth and white paper soon make
an impression.
A goosequill is more dangerous than
a lions claw.
What we call time enough always
proves little enough.
History is not fable agreed upon, but
truth disagreed upon.
Remember impertinence isn't wit,
any more than insolencc is brilliancy.
A little seeing saves much looking;
and little speaking saves much talk
ing.
He who waits TO do great good at
once will seldom accomplish anything.
Gratitude is the music Of the heart
when its chords are moved by kind
ness.
Fortunes arc made by taking oppor-
tunities; character is made by making
them.
Don't indulge in the luxury Of
strong opinions in the presence of your
elders.
If young men will not believe in
themselves no woman can believe in
them.

Rev. Sam p. Jones at Lynchburg, Va.
Some of His Savings.

God never called me to preach like
other men nor other men to preach rs
l do, though some have tried it and got
badly left.
God Almighty made me just as | am,
and | have never intcrfercd with the
job one particle.
I'll promise you one thing: TO tell
the truth SO it will stick to you like Il
curkleburr to an old sleeps wool.
It'll he there when You shear him.
don't mean by an honest man one
who pays his debts. That's the mean-
est sort of honesty. Any man of sense
or dccency will do that if he can.
Some church people, however, are
afraid to walk along some streets in
Lynchburg for fear of meeting 4 man
they owe and won't pay. They do
business as "agents" and board with
their wives in order to successfully rob
their creditors.
I'd 60 to the chain gang and stay
there before I'd ever write my name,
"Sam p. Jones, agent" for my wife.
You, a great big officer in the church
and won't pay your debts, you old
hound.
John the Baptist Was the bravest
type of christian 1 know of. Hejump-
ed on Herod and paved his feathers
out.
God Almighty never bestowed IL
greater blessing on any community
than in giving it good game preacher
who doesn't fear man or devil.
If anybody asks you to take drink,
he thinks you're hypocrite; and if
you take it, he thinks right.
The church member who rents his
house for saloon is like the Confeder-
ate who fought on our side. but ran q
powder mill for the Yankees. He
didn't kill any Yankees, but supplied
the powder with which they shot down
thousands of Rebels. The preacher
that will house such a member is no
better than he is.
I wouldn't give ten cents to hear In
gersoll OH "the Mistakes of Noses"
but I'd give ten dollars to hear Moses
on the mistakes of Ingersoll.

the tight rein of handsome, rich-liveried coachmani But ah had they seen tho sor- rowful face withinl
 Miriam then had gone from the Hall on that fateful day directly to Oaklawn and paid, as it seemed, her farewell visit to the dear, dead mother. And shc had, under cover of all that stoical, outward compos- ure, carried away from Heatherleigh a breaking heart, and felt her banishment keenly.
 Doubtless, too, shc had left the written goodbye addressed to her dead relative ni the tomb purposely that it might some time fall into the hands of her unnatural father; putting the slip in the fastening in the pres ence of the sexton, she might have shrewdly guessed that he would lose no opportunity to discover it to Sir Rupert, which he at tended to on his first visit thereafter.
 If the design in leaving the paper at Oak lawn was to break the austere, hardened heart of the master of Heatherleigh with it's contents, the plan was well laid and ex- ecuted to a fault, and the purpose had been accomplished without doubt. He sank visi. bly, each day under tho terrible blow dealt him by the proud, suffering daughter, and he would sit for hours. silently and alone, in his private apartments, with cur tains drawn, and grieve in the gloom of his desolated home. The weight of retribution was fearful. Poor old man! that drive to Oaklawn on that quiet autumn day was his last outing; he never recovered enough

 cf deep disappointment crossed his features as he looked from one weeping servant to arother, and then, as if realizing something cf the cause of their grief, he dropped his
 hands nerveless by his side, and murmured
 ID plank, uncertain way: "Ahl see how
 It ts at last"
 Then standing quietly as if revolving the
 metter moro thoroughly in his mind, he
 hurst out with: ''Merciful God had for

 oply is here to gaze on her aged father
 with merciless reproach. She will not

 Then they started with Sir Rupert for his apartments.

 "Hushl yo haythenish spalpeen," repri- | manded Peggy, savagely. "An' yell need to chop out this nights lesson fer yer avil feelin's."

A party of rosy-cheeked children passed
 her, scampering down the path, their prim,
 pretty nurse bringing up the rear with the
 lunch basket on one plump arm, while over
 tho other she had swung her hat with its
 wreath of wild autumn flowers she had gathered by the roadside. They made
 pretty picture. One of the children ran up to her, offering her bouquet of yellow
 fall flowers it had crushed into withered
 condition in it's chubby palms. She took the
 blossoms with a 'thank you" to please the
 little one, while the rosy nurse curtsied re-
 spectfully and passed by.
 They were from The Cliffs, pleasant,
 roomy mansion some two miles farther up
 the shore; doubtless the family carriage
 had been :left up at Atherton Place, few
 rods from The Rest, and the children had
 been sent down to the beach for half days outing in charge of Erma, the bright eyed foreign nurse-glrl.
 Miriam recognized them instantly, having
 met them on the beach quite often during the summer, and the Athertons, she had learned, were relatives.
 "What happy little party," unused Miriam, looking after them and watching rather respectfully each little head pass down and out of sight. 'What merry, sunny home The Cliffs must be- she added,
 thoughtfully.
 A merry SuOuG 1rOln one O1 the CQllQren below arrested her attention and she, for getting her sorrows for moment, arose
 with smile, and went on toward home.
 The purple ivy clusters showed rich and dark against the gray stone of the old wall
 by which she passed, while here and there great leaf of the luxurious vine famed
 into scarlet. An! yes, it was autumn;
 autumn of the cycling year once more and dreary, desolate autumn of her heart and
 aimless life; and she looked up through the
 tree-dotted park and saw through hot tears the silent grandeur of the Rest. The cur
 tains were drawn, and rooms filled with a desolateness that made her heart sink. But the windows must be thrown open,
 the knotted crape removed, and the merry sunshine must be admitted, for Patty was coming soon, and Patty's life and exuberant spirits should not be dampened by even suggestion of what she had suffered. No; it would be cruel.
 And Patty came. The great lonely draw. ing-room was thrown open, and the sweet toned piano in the dim recess, which had been silent as the grave for so long, was once moro brought to light, and to life also, for Patty's delft fingers swept the for gotten chords and made music once again.

Up through tle cen. tral passageway of tho grounds bo-dered on either hand with aged, weeping elms the re.Iless winds seemed to catch tho peaceful inspiration of rest and lost them selves in melodious chants for the dead. Sir Rupert drew his surcoat closely about his frail. shivering form, and heard with sinking heart the dirges for the dead ccho- ing down the grand old aisles of the ceme- tery as when he heard them chanted over Lady Percival's bier on that awful day; the day when the light and sunshine went out forever for Heatherleigh, eclipscd by the shadow of the tomb.
