Beautiful Beyond.

DR.. James Hope, looking fixedly be-
fore him, just before yielding his
breath, murmured,-"Christ! angels !!
beautiful Indeed it is So" A few
minutes after, he said: II thank
God" when he slept in Jesus.
Charles s. Boyd, recovering from a
sinking spell, said: "Oh, 1 saw the
gates opening, and all was 80 beauti-
full W Again he said "The angels are
come to take me home" Later, he
said "Just on the boundaries al.
most there )" and so passed away.
A young chinese convert exclaimed,
in rapturous tones, when near the end
of her way: "Oh, beautiful! beauti-
full" as if she caught glimpse Of the
glory beyond.
"Heaven is beautiful" were the last
words of an aged saint.
Adams, the missionary to Gaboon,
Africa, broke out with an animated
voice, just before dying, saying: ~

melodies! see glorious sights {! /

Oh ! how beautiful oh, what won.

L. Ford, for many years previous to
her last sickness, had not been in pos
session of her reason, but just before
dying had lucid interval, and ex-
claimed: "How beautiful Every
thing is beautiful v' ..o.r-.-..............-
Beautiful whispered a young
man, when his breath was almost
gone. And then, az If seeing visions
Of glory, he said: "Like picture In q

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's last
words were 1T Is beautiful"

gone before. She seemed to see them.
John Harrison, when dying, said to
those about him "Oh, never saw so
much as do now! Oh, the astonish-

made of it this day. Only see the in.

A young girl when dying said to her
mother, "DO you see those beauti1ul
creatures? never saw such counte-
nances and such attire"
Senator FoOte, at the last, with eyes
all full of a celestial radiance, lifted
his hands and looked up, exclaiming

A Christian woman, when dying,

"There is my mansion, all beautiful

A little boy, eight years old, two
days before his death, raised his eyes
to the ceiling as if seeing something
which interested him. After contem'

A Matter OF Conscience.

Once there was a good man whose
name was John Kane, who lived in
Poland, where he taught and preached,
1t was his rule to suffer wrong ra-
ther than to do q wrong to others.
One night, as he was riding through a
dark wood, he, all at once, found him
self at the mercy of band Of robbers.
He got down from his horse, and said
to the gang that he would give up to
them all he had about him. He then
gave them a purse filled with silver
coins, a gold chain from his neck, a
ring from his finger, and from his
pocket a book Of prayer with silver
clasps.
"Have you given US all ?" cried the
robber chief, in stern voice "have
you no more money!"
The old man in his confusion said
he had given them all the money he
had and when he said this, they let
him 60. Glad TO get of 80 we'll, he
went quickly on and was soon out Of
sight; but all at once the thought
came to him that he had some gold
pieces stitched into the hem Of his
robe. These he had quite forgotten
had any more money.
"This is lucky" thought John Kane,
for he saw that the money would
bear him home to his friends, and that
he would not have to beg his way or
suffer for want of food and shelter.
But Johns conscience was tender
one, and he stopped to listen to its
voice. It seemed to cry to him In ear
nest tones: "Tell not q lie! Tell not
a lie v' These words would not Let
him rest.
Some men would say that such
promise, made to thieves, need not be
kept, and few men would have been
troubled after such an escape. But
John did not stop to reason. He went
back to the place where the robbers
stood, and walking up to them, said
meekly II have told you what is not
true T did not mean to do 80, but fear
confused me SO pardon me-"
With these words he held forth the
pieces of gold but to his surprise, not
one of the robbers would take them.
A strange feeling was at work In their
hearts. These men, bad as they were,
could not laugh at the pious old man.
"Thou shalt not steal," said q voice
within them. All were deeply NOV
ed. Then, as if touched by common
feeling, one of the robbers brought
and gave back the old mans purse,
another his gold chain, another his
ring, another his book of prayer, aid
still another led up his horse and help
ed the old man to remount. -,
Then oil the robbers, as If quite
ashamed of having thought Of harm.
ing 80 good a man, went up and asked
his blessing. John Kane gave 1t with
devout feeling, and then rode on his
way, thanking God for so strange an
escape, and wondering at the mixture
Of good and evil In the human heart.
Good Words.

An Anti Semitic Outbreak In Elisabetsrad,
Fortified Russian City.
Advices have been received which give
another illustration of the bitter hostility
against the Hebrews in Russia. This last incl
dent Of the viruleRt feeling. against Hebrews
occurred at Elisabetgrsd, fortified town of
$4,000 inhabitants, situated on the Ingool river,
$50 miles north of kherson. Among the in
hsbitants Of the town are quite number Of
Hebrews, who are engaged in the usual voca-
lions of the people of that nationality in Rus
sian cities The intense hatred of the Hebrews
entertained by the peasant population recently
broke out into open fame, and several
thousand farm laborers, small landhoders and
others engaged in agricultural occupations in
the country surrounding Elieabetgrad marched
into the town and proceeded to the Hebrew
quarter.
The terrified Hebrews upon seeing the mob
approaching made frantic efforts to hide them
selves from their enemies, seeking refuge in
out-of-.he-wa. places of the Ghetto, and in
every way trying to avoid coming i'll contact
with the members of tine mob Amid cries of
Kill the Jews the thousands of yokels
descended upon their covering victims. They
attac sed the shops aud dwellings,, driving the
owners from them or holding them powerless
to defend themselves or their property, and
plundered them of everything valuable. What
was considered not worth while stealing was
wantonly destroyed. Some OF the Drawer He

but this only made matters The worse for them
and three of them were killed Many others
who attempts ted in the frenzy of tear to defend
their families or property from the mob were
set upon and severely wounded.

PORTLAND WILL HOLD TEE LAND
It 10 Not Believed That the Skillings Claim
IL Valid.

It Is Not Believed That the skillings Claim
10 Valid
The Skillings claim, % called, against the
city of Portland, Me-, q new story about which
has Just been sent in from the west, and was re-
Gently printed in The STAB, is very similar to
that Of heirs Of Anneke Jams Bogardus against
Trinity parish in New York. II rests upon the
ninety-nine years lease Of triangular piece Of
Land in the heart Of the city, now in part occu-
pied by hotels and business blocks, and COM
prisesa part.of Monument Square, where stands
the soldiers and sailors monument
The lease was given on April 10, 1792, by
Samuel skillings to Enoch Hsley. as appears Of
record, but some years before the giving Of the
iease-that is in the year 1753-the title to .
Larger piece of land which included the triangu-
lar piece within its bounds had been conveyed to
the county OF York by other parties claiming to
own the same. The legality Of this conveyance
courts OF Cumberland, which had in the mean
time been set off from the ancient county Of
York, got quit claim deed for the property
from the mother county.
The year following the county Of Cumber-
land gave quit claim deed of portion OF
Land very nearly identical with the triangle
claimed by the Skillings heirs to other parties
Tor the sum of El0G The lease from Skillings
TO llsley was never recognized as valid. Ilsley,
although man of wealth and influence i'm his
dav, never obtained possession under his lease
from Skillings The ninety nine years term in
the lenss expired April TO- 1891. In January
last one of the Skiliings claimants went to
Portland from Boston, looked the situation
over and the sum fixed by him and others Of
the heirs to be demanded of the city of Port
land was 100000. Nothing whatever has been
done toward prosecuting the claim against the
