At this lapse ol time. when nearly all

A STRANGE VISIT.
An Incredible, But Nevertheless a
True, Story.

What / have to say is not fiction. but
fact. The heroine of my strange story
and no less true than strange-died
many years ago. Most of her generation
have followed her to the land the inhab-
ltants of which may or may not revisit
ours in visible guise. The Lord of the
quick and the dead alone knows how
this may be. There is no reason why
should not put into print what many Of
her contemporaries heard from her own
lips, not only at the date of the mySteri-
GUS occurrence that Swallowed her life,
but when a half-century had softened
the grisly outlines OF the horror. and
she could contemplate it in perspective
almost with calmness, although never
without awe.
i, Nancy Barksdale, who write this,
was a girl of eighteen when. at the close
of May day fifty years agone, my
fathers carriage set me down at the
door of my dear friend, Augusta Deane,
in Gainesville. Va. Gainesville was
then-and may be now-an uninterest-
ing village, struggling leisurely along
the banks Of the James river, to which
it owed its being and continued life. We
had pitied Augusta Elicit, the belle of
two Richmond seasons. not because she
married Frank Deane, a promising
young lawyer, but for having to live in
the muddy, tame little town. The we'd
ding had taken place in December, and
this was my first visit to her new abode
1t was a small, white cottage, set back
about twenty yards from the street,
which differed in nothing from a coun-
try highway except that there were
more houses on and near it. | had just
time to observe that the Deane's cot
tage was a story and half high, with
dormer windows in the roof: that it was
neat and newly painted; that the
wicket-gate in the front palings was
overarched by bower of hOneysuckle,
and the front porch overrun with a
multifiora rose tree, now in affluent
bloom-when Augusta ran out through
the open door and down the gravel
walk to the carriage.
She was trif1e thinner than when ]
had last seen her, but animated and
joyous, with vivacity that did not abate
while she attended me to her own
chamber on the first floor, pouring out
salutations, queries and intcrjections
in her old frank, impetuous way.
''Iou must stay in here with me I'M
til Frank comes home," she said. help

Electricity an Aid to Gamblers.

1t has recently been suggested that
instead of using the rack so we'll known

dishes might be held on the table dur
ing rough weather by means of electri-
city. This would be accomplished by
the use of number of electromagnetic

cover, which could be made, by closing
an electric current, to powerfully at
tract the various dishes, they having
been provided with iron bottoms. A
similar device has been designed by
certain gamblers, who, like the rest of
the world. are quick TO avail themselves
of electrical aids. The loaded dice OF
the day have the same specific gravity,
lat have piece of iron inserted Oppo-
site the side which is wanted to turn up
throughout. so that when thrown on an
ordinary table they are governed only
by the law of chance, but when east on

And folly's urlasd ghosts return.

The enchanted sea on which they sailed

OF sunset on my towers in Spain,
And see, far of, uploom in sight

And did pass with grazing keel,
The rocks whereon the sirens singf

The unmarped regions lost to man.
The cloud pitched tents of Prester John.

Did land winds blow from jasmin flowers,
Where youth the ageless fountain fillss
Did love make sign from rose-blown bowers
And gold from Eldorado's hillSg
Alas. the gallant ships that sailed
On blind adventures errand sent.
However they laid their courses, failed
To reach the haven OF Content.

Which love had freighted, safely sped,

That darker grows the shortening day,
And colder blows the wintry air,
The wrecks Of passion and desire,

And warm the hands that age has chilled
Whatever persisted with my ships,

A song OF praise is on my lips
For losses which are now nv gains.
Heap high my hearth! No worth is lost;
No wisdom with the folly dies.
Burn on poor shreds, your holocaust
Shall be my evening sacrifice!
Far more than all dared to dream
Unsought before my door / see;
On wings of fire and steeds Of steam
The worlds great wonders come to me-
And holier igns, unmarked before,
OF love TO seek and power 10 save
The righting of the wronged and poor,
The man evolving from the slave.
And life, no longer chance or fate
Safe in the gracious Fatherhood,

In calm assurance of the good.

ed in store for year, and then APP
piled for membership in the Knights
OF Pythias and was initiated. During
the work of the third degree her sex
was discovered. 1t seems that in
the third degree they have an India
rubber rat and a celluloid snake,
which run by clock work inside, aud
which are very natural indeed.
They let them run at the candidate
to see if he will finch. When the
snake ran out at the girl she held
her nerve all right, but when the rat
tried to run up her trouser leg she
grabbed her imaginary skirts in both
hands and jumped upon the retrigera-
ton (Which is used in the fourth de-
gree) and screamed murder. The
girl IS member of this highly phil
anthropic and safe order, and there
is no help for it.
The affair may open the eyes of
secret societies and cause them TO
investigate. One lodge here, we
understand, takes the precaution
against the admission Of women by
carefully examining the feet of the
applicants. If the feet are cold
enough to freeze ice cream the candi-

A Boy in the Pulpit.

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga
says 8" A child preacher, thirteen
years old, made his appearance in
one Of the pulpit here Sunday night.
The church was crowded. TO bear
the little fellow people had come for
miles. Every seats was taken, and
standing room at premium. His
name is Jimmy Cook, and his home at
Glen, Carroll county this State. jim
ME Cook is q sure-enough preacher in
stature as well as in years. lie
weighs but little more than half a
hundred pounds, and isso small that
his head and shoulders were barely
visible when standing behind the pull
pit. He has a bright intelligence
face, is quiet and self possessed, and
in speaking uses very good language
and gestures. His words flow free
ly, and during the whole of his ser
mon which lasted about thirty min
utes until he was exhausted and out
of breath, he never hesitated for Ian
guage to express his thoughts. In
the pulpit he appeared to be as much
at ease and as thoroughly ct home as
q man who had spent most of his life
in preaching. His style of preach
ing is natural, and his voice, though
childish, has a fullness which makes
his words effective and interesting
He wore a flannel shirt, a short.
jeans jacket and pair of jeans trou-
sers reaching half way down the tops
of a pair Of rough, muddy boots.
His round little face was bright and
clean, and his light sandy hair neat
~ combed, giving him the appear
ance of typical country lad fresh
from the hands of a kind and careful
mother. The child preacher an
nounced his text in a clear, fine voice,
the second chapter Of Hebrew and
third verse, " How shall we escape
if we neglect SO great salvation,
which at first began to be spoken by
the Lord. and was confirmed unto
Us By them that heard him. His
sermon was a remarkable effort for a
boy of the speakers age.
He stuck to his text all the way
through, quoting scriptures fuently
and eyincing a wonderful degree Of
elocutionary power. At times he
walked from side to side Of the pull
pit, as his words were spoken, gestic
ulating with one hand, and with the
other toying with long watch chain
that hung from his vest, perfectly at
ease, as if conscious Of a power over
his hearers. The little fellows coun-
tenance fairly glowed as he became
warmed up to his subject, appealing
to sinner to turn from their evil ways
and accept the salvation of the Cos
pei. He, in o simple and yet really
beautiful and touching manner, adj
monished parents to train their chill
dren according to teachings of the
Bible, and warned them OF the conse-
quences of disobeying the commands
Of the Lord. He tsays that while
working in the field one day he had
e call to preach the Gospel, and at
once oboyed it.
