Mutually Jealous.

BERLIN, May 26.-The posthumous
revelations from the....authorship of
Won Moltke are generally interpreted
i'm Berlin as showing what the public
had long suspected-that the great
general of the Franco Prussian war
was not without feeling of jealousy
toward Bismarck, whom he almost
altogether ignored as factor in the
triumph of 1866. Won Moltke, in his
quiet. silent way, never seemed to be
much interested in praise of the late
Chancellor, and it is understood that
he was far from displeased when Bis
marck was dismissed, while Bismarck
was not gratified at the way that nero
worship was turned from himself to
Won Moltke, and has been significant
ly reticent as to the dead general.

How to Mount a Horse.

Any woman who lives in the coun-
try, and who is not too stout, should
be able to mount a horse from the
ground unaided, writes Carl A. Nye-
gard in The LADIES' Home Journal.
If she attalns to be anything of an
equestrienne she should require no
more assistance than a man, though
she is handicapped little by reason
of her skirt. She should lower the
stirrup sufficiently to reach it
with the left foot, then placing
the right hand on the upper
pommel and the left hand on the
lower pommel, by sideway motion,
right shoulder forward, spring light
ly from her right foot and swing her
self into the saddle. Once there she
should take her foot out of the stirrup,
place her right thigh in its proper
position above the pommel, and adj
Just her dress. The stirrup is short
ened from the right side by pulling
up the strap again. A good dancer
will soon learn to mount.

Who can tell the thrilling story
OF the missions slow appearing?
OF privation, toll and fearing
Borne by these Franciscan friars
Abnegation of desires,
Sacrifice of every pleasure,
Spending all of life's best treasure
For the glory of their calling?
Now the dust of time is falling
Der their graves unknown and lowly,
In the missions confines holy
All the year in silence sleeping;
But when night is slowly creeping
To the birth of Christmas morning,
AS the stroke of twelve gives warn
ing
They, from every tomb appearing,
Stlll their priestly vestments wear
ing,
Fades The brilliance from the mission,
And q subtle, strange transition
Passes DER the people praying
TITS q change like to the swaying
OF the mist clouds DER the ocean
For with neither sound nor motion
Every form fades into spirit,
Back to all they may inherit,
Silent grave and restful sleeping!
And the gray dawn comes a-creep-
ing,
While the ghostly bell is signing;
Wierdly wall its last notes, dying
Not an echo even waking
For the Christmas morn is breaking!

A LEGEND OF THE MISSIONS.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, /
December, 1890. !

December, 1890.
Here the San Antonio river
Swiftly courses ON forever;
Here the mocking birds sweet sing
ing
Sets the mesquite copses ringing;
Here Decent er's sunshine golden
Falls upon the missions olden,
Penetrating dim recesses,
Lighting with it's warm caresses
Affairs where no priest Is praying;
But the lizard brown is strayipg
In and out of crack and jointing,
While the cross, whose first anoint-
ing
Was in tears and bitter sorrow,
From the sunbeams seem to borrow
Something more than earthly glory.
Round the altar reverent gather.s
Then it is some ghostly father
Gliding to the ruined tower
At this solemn midnight hour
Sets the rusty bell a-s~ inging-
Aud the music of its ringing
Sounds into the ears of dead men,
Calling from their graves the red men,
Thence they co ne in noiseless t:oop
ing,
IN the chancel thickly grouping,
Indian warrior, wife and maiden.
Soon the air is heavy laden
With the smoke from censers swing
ing,
While the priests are slowly bringing
Forth the symbol of their Master.
Peals the bell now louder, faster,
From the ancient: missions tower;
Many voices rise and lower
In an anthem grandly swelling
Faith of priest and convent telling.
Held on high the Host is glowing,
All its golden glory showing
By the lights which CLEAN and falter
On the quaint and carven altar,
While the clouds of incense culver
Stirred by breezes from the river.
Once again the BELLS slow pealing
Sounds above the people kneeling
Penitent, their sins copfessing,
Bowed beneath the Fathers bless
ing!

ial and contemptible to the Jews of Judea,

cial and contemplate to the Jews of Judea,
because of the rougher dialect OF the lnhab-
liant and their exposure to contrast with
the Gentle peoples. Yet in these despised
regions did Jesus live and teach, by choice
appal emily, and all the peace he ever had
after his beginning to teach seems to have
been in the first year of his ltinerate
preaching in this condemned district. He
had neither influence nor habitation in Je-
rusalem, nor sought any.
Again, the story of Jesus is the story of a
man who came of a race that presented at
least two great advantages and two equally
striking disadvantages for the effectlng OF
a deep and s~alutary impress on the world.
These advantages were a sincere, perfectly
pure, unmingled religious monotheism and
a fervent faith in the future. Hear. . Is
rael, the eternal is our God. the eternal is
one" was the cry of the race. From that
great faith it had not wavered for many
generations, and long before the people had
come thereto in all its grandeur and purity
the prophets were crying it aloud and the
race was growing up to the prophetic
voices. A deep and mighty religious in
stinot characterized the race, and the form
of it unfoldea to an unmlxed monothelsm,
This was accompanied with a vast faith in
the future of the chosen people. However

pressed and overthrown. A. great rem

glowing expectancy than in the time of
Jesus. The two disadvantages were an in
tense religious narrowness and q deep pol
itical AMUSEMENT. The fervor Of the Jews
in their religion was as fanatical as 1t was
purely and nobly monotheistic. 1t was ut
once wholly spiritual in it's conceptions Of
deity, at least as compared to the gentle
world around it, and exceedingly outward
and ceremonial in its conception of the eS-
preston of religion and its enforcement OF
religious duties. This wae intensified, Ger.

agreements, strange appearances, colncl-
dences, connections, results and all name
of ond would issue from a mans life,
however lowly and hidden, on which the
best intellect n fervor of fifty generations
should fasten their observation, affections
and discussions.
Yet, on the other hand. it may be said
that this is q reflection which contains a
strong assertion of the greatness of human
nature; for il there were not something in
trinslcally great in tho mans life thus in
spected, it is certain that such a prolonged
and thorough sitting and discussion by the
greatest wits of all kinds would be sure
to discover the emptiness. At any rate, it
is certain that in Jesus there was a vast
acter, ms we'll ms of amazing effect on the
world, which has furnished food for the
study of eighteen centuries and has ap-
| peared the grander and more affecting tho
more it has been studied. 1t may be fruit
full at any time, and ut this season espe-
claily welcome, to pass in review some OF
tho familiar points i'll the story of Jesus. |
will choose points TINT pertain to his cir
cumstances, and not at all, or only collat-
orally, to his character.
The story of Jesus is the story of n poor
man. He had mot where to lay his head,''
say the Gospels. There is not II sign in all
the narrative that he came of a wealthy, or
even of "a moderately well provided family,
or had any property himself. On the con-
trary, the family may be- supposed to have
depended OF the daily handle aft of the car
penter-father, and to have been only fru-
gally above want. 1t is plain in the Gospels
that he was supported by his disciples; /
mean not the apostles only or mainly, but
the more numerous comphn which habit
ually followed him about or assembled to
listen to him, md consisted probably, with
considerable consistency, of the same per-
sons as we'll as n still larger element which
WAS occasional and variable. Among the
more constant followers were several
women; we cnnnot tell how many, but
Luke gives the names of three of them, and
adds that there we're many others; and
these. like the other disciples. contributed
to the Masters support. Thus it was to the
end. He set out with nothing; he gathered
nothing; but was taken care of, no doubt
with great frugality, nv friends who, 80 far
as we may judge, themSolves were poor.
The story OF Jesus, again, in the story of
a man ION a poor place. Nazareth was u
small, inconspicuous and wholly uniniluen-
tigl village. II nestled on u win hill, and
from the high grounds above the little tow
one might see Carmel and the blue seas in
one direction and almost or quite to the
snowy Hermon in the other. The valley
beneath the village was' rich aud beautiful,
and replete with Il famous and picturesque
history. But with these advantages, and
the traditional beauty of its women, we
have summed up its attractions and impor-
tance. 1t had no part In jewish history.

DECEMBER DAYS.


Fewer and more chill have become the
hours of sunlight, and longer stretch the
noontide shadows of the desolate trees
athwart the tawny fields and the dead leaves
that mat the floor of the woods.
The brook braids its shrunken strands of
brown water with a hushed murmur over q
bed OF sodden leaves between borders OF
spiny ice crystals, or in the pools swirl in
slow circles the imprisoned fleets of bubbles
beneath Il steadfast roof Of glass.
Dark and sullen the river sulks ita cheer
less way. enlivened but by the sheldrake
that still courses his prey in tho icy water,
and the mink, that like a feet black
shadow. steals along the silent banks.
Gaudy woodduck and witt winged teal
have long since departed and left stream
and shore to these m%arauders and to the
trapper who now gathers here his latest
harvest.
The marshes are silent and make 40 sign
of life, though beneath the domes of many
a sedge-built roof. the unseen muskrats
are astir and under the lev cover Of tho
channels fare to and fro on their affairs of
life, undisturbed by any turmoil in the
upper world.
When the winds are asleep the lake bears
on it's placid breast the moveless images
of its quiet shores, deserted now by the
latest pleasure seekers among whose ten
antless camps the wild voolfolk wander
AZ fesrlessly as if the foot of man had
never trodden here. From the still mid
waters far away, u loon halloes to the
winds to come forth from their caves, and
yells out his made laughter in anticipation
of the coming storm.
A herald breeze blackens the water with
its advancing steps, md with n roar OF its
trumpets, the angry wind sweeps down,
driving tho white-created ranks OF waves to
assault the shoress
Far up tho long incline Of pebbly beaches
they rush, and leaping up the walls Of rock
hang letters of Ice upon tho writhine trees.
Out of the seething waters arise lofty coll
umn Of yapor that like u host OF gigantic
phantoms stalk, silent and majestic, above
the turmoil, till they fall in wind-tossed
showers of frost flakes.
These are days whom almost complete 81
lence possesses the woods, yet listening in-
tently one may hear the continual move
