not knowing whittier she was going. She
had made no plans, which was perhaps
the wisest course, since her inexperi-
ence would have prepared for contingent
cies which could never arise and have
overlooked the most natural obstacles.
She had taken nothing with her but a
little handbag, in which were articles
of the commonest necessity, and her saw
ings during the past four or five years,
amounting to about two thousand taels.
The novelty of the new, free life buoyed
her up, and she walked steadily though
aimlessly until the increasing bright
ness of the east told her that day was
near. AS the dawn approached she
found herself near the river bank, and
before her lay great junk, on board of
which the sailors were carrying the last
of the cargo.
1t was a lonely place in the outskirts
of the city, and she wondered that the
ship should be there, far away from the
ordinary place of lading. The river it
self, she perceived, was not the large
stream which flowed past the city, but a
creek which extended like an arm about

by the hurry and hustle that the junk
would sail in a few minutes, and great
longing came over her to go with the
vessel down the river and out upon the
wonderful sea. She wondered whether
the captain would let her sail with him
If she agreed to pay her passage to what
ever port he had in view What an easy
way, she thought, to escape utterly from
the reach of those who would pursue
her. She scarcely dared hope that so
fortunate thing could be accomplished.
Meanwhile, she was surprised to learn,
from snatches of the sailors conversa-
tion, that her approach had been viewed
with suspicion and even with alarm
''But it is only boy" said one of the
men, and that appeared to satisfy the
others.

Keen Your Ton Cool.

Artemus Ward once, during journey
across the plains, offered stage driver
drink from his flask, which he rejected
in the most decided terms. Said the
driver: Il don't drink! won't drink
and l don't like to see anybody else drink
I'm of the opinion of these mountains
keep your top cool, they've got snow and
I've got brains-that's all the difference"
There is a wealth of wisdom in the sen.
tentious remark, keep your top COOL"

the plank they called out loudly for help,
saying that the box was beyond their
strength; but the other sailors were
busy loosening the sails, and none came
to the assistance of those who struggled
with the load upon the plank. Sho Mai
was about to put forth her feeble strength
in aid when the box broke from the
hands of the men and fell with a crash
upon the rude pier. So violent was the
fall that one side was broken open and
the astonished Sho Mai saw strange arti-
cles of gold and silver within.
Alarmed at the great crash, the sailors
from the junk rushed to the spot and,
surrounding the box, attempted to re-
place the contents and to bear it on
board the ship. Atlength he whom Sho
Mai took to be the captain noticed her,
and as he did so he uttered cry as if
enraged.
HE has seen the contents of the box"
shouted the captain; she will betray
us!''
He laid his hand upon a sword which
hung at his side and seemed about to
slay the affrighted Sho Mai, when, sud-
denly changing his purpose, he made
sign to two Of the men, who seized the
girl in their arms and bore her hurriedly
aboard the junk. She was locked in
little room in the lower portion of the
ship, when presently she heard sounds
which indicated that the ropes had been
cast off and that the junk was proceed
ing down the creek.
"Truly," thought Sho Mai, 81 am now
beyond pursuit. Whittier these men
will take me in their mysterious ship I
know not, but l believe that wonderful
sights await me if, indeed, my life is
spared to see them"

Another Word from Vermont.

DIR. II. II. Mcintyre, of West Randolph,
superintendent of the Alaska Commercial
company, says: "The Prohibitory law
does prohibit the sale of intoxicant.
in Vermont, except in five or six towns,
and the present tendency of the state is
toward stronger prohibitory law, rather
than a return to the license system. Pro.
hibition is best for Vermont"

Samuel J. Randall, tho statesman and
politician, is dead, and all the country
will mourn the loss OF an honest, broad.
minded, conscientious leader. 20!
His long and honorable career in pub:
lie lifc was spotless. For many years he
has been a leader Of men and for some
time was tho acknowledged leader Of
his party in Congress. The firm stand
he took on the side OF Protection when
he saw his associates drifting in the
direction Of Free Trade, drew toward
him tteirtpolitical enmity, but he was
strong in his.faith and with a handful Of
followers in his own party md the sym.
patty Of Republican Protectionists, he
fought for what he believed the true
American principle to the last. GJttn
But for the honest stand Mr.. Randall
made for Protection and creating this
bitter %antasonisin, he doubtless would

Democratic party, and might have been
President OF tho United States.

Protection Sentiment In England.

Sir Edward Sullivan, in a recent work
on the tariG, deals the English Free
Trade practices some very heavy blows
He exposes the mockery Of tho economic
policy OF his own country, and shows
how tho laborers there are being de.
ceived by the false representations OIL
tho politicians. He assures tho people
that England will DO badly crippled by
Free Trade. He makes q strong argu.
,nent on tho point that employment, not
chcapness, is tho handspring OF National
prosperity and contentment. The way
to makes Nation happy and prosperous,
he declares, is to give everybody an op.
portanity to be employed. The idea Of
supplying a population Of 81, 900
with everything at a lower price than
they can produce it is probably the most
preposterous nonsense that ever entered
the human mind. This is actually:
what Free Trade pretends to do. 1--WE
arc attempting to supply ourselves with
everything, says Sir Edward, cheaper
than We can produce it. In other words,
We place before our workers cheap food,
but put it out oftheir power to earn the
money to buy it. There is hardly an
article in the world that cannot DO
produced cheaper in some other country
than In England"

be maintained in the face Of the labor

The Keyislon Question.

The vote among the presbyteries Of the
United States thus far stands nearly two
to one in favor Of revision. OF the pres.
byteries voting against revision fully
one'third are in Pennsylvania, two are
in South Carolina, two in Siam, and one
in Africa. Only n New York pres.
bytery appears to have voted, against re-
vision.
The question is,asked what will be the
result when the next General Assem-
bly,, of the church proceeds to take action
in accordance with this vote Will
there be q secession OF the minority?
In other words, will there be another
split in the denominations THE con.
census of opinion is that there will not
be any serious disturbance, but that the
minority against revision will gracefully
acquiesce in the verdict rendered, The
denomination has had enough OF seces.

they have generally and historically re-

indiaputable fact that the Presbyterian
people would to-day vote as a unit, we're
