citing days work, he looked eagerly
about for "Miss Jule," as he called
her. She was nowhere to be seen at
first, but finally her husband discov-
cred her in corner of their fnxuri-

A Story Of DR.. Hawkeo.

North Caroliup probably never pro-
duced IN abler preacher than Dr.
,, Francis L. Hawkes., who aquarter Of
a century ago was pastor OF Grace
Episcopal Church, New York. Short,
thick-set, swarthy, black.eyed and
black. haired, he was striking per-
sonage. He was not only q great
pulpit orator, but considered the best
reader in the New York episcopacy.
His rather luxurious family deferred
him from accepting q bishopric, which
would have otherwise been rendered.
One day a delegation from n Buffalo
church waited upon him, and invited
him to except a passionate in that
city.
"Well, gentlemen, other things
being satisfactory, the question OF
acceptance narrows down to bust
ness matter" said DR.. Hawkes..
"What salary do you offer?"
"Dr. Hawkes." said the spokes-
man, 1--WE recognize that you have a
high reputation, and are willing to he
liberal. Our recent pastor has re-
ceived $4,000. but on account OF
your standing we have decided to
offer you $3, 800"
my good man." cried the doctor,
"do you know what salary am re.
ceiving here?"
"No, SIR"
II get $15, 900 and this parson-
nge; and as have an expensive fam
lily, / do not see my way clear to &C
cept your offer"
The spokesman looked rather
sheepish, but made another essay.
"If we had know that fact, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked
elsewhere; but you should remem-
Der that the work of the Lord must
be done; and MS for providing for
your family, you know the story oil
Elijah and the ravens"
"Now, my friends" responded the
clergyman, quizzingly, II have made
the Bible my study ever since was
twenty-eight. ] haveread it through
carefully and prayerfully over hun
dred times. ] remember the raven
incident perfectly, but nowhere can
i find any referance to the Lords
providing for young Hawkes."

RIO NOSE OF GORE.
kWoundsd Offloer's 0ift to Old En-
poror William.

Wounded Officers Oift to Old EN-
peror William.
Tho story OF the "Red Rose OF
iorze," as charming as it is true, is
,ften told by Germans to illustrate
The touching loyalty OF a subject and
the grateful remembrance and appre-
hation OF his sovereign. In August,
1870, German officer was lying
wounded in tho house of French
Iamily, near the little town OF Gore
n Lorraine. He had received six
Wounds in the battle OF Mars la Tour,
ave OF them as he lay on the ground,
while the fight surged around him, and
he was scarcely expected to recover
The French family in whose house he
was quartered nursed their wounded
enemy with much kindness and skill
One morning the officer found placed in
q glass by his bedside beautiful red
rose, just opening, which the daughter
of the house had brought in from the
garden while he slept. It's scent and
beauty were refreshing to the sick
man, but instead OF keeping it he sent
his soldier-servant mt once with it to
Gore. where the King OF Prussia's
headquarters were, and told him to
give that rose to the King, with the
message that one of his wounded Of
ficers had sent it to him. The King
put the rose in his buttonhole and in
quired the name of the officer. "Cap-
tain Won Zedwitz, Seventy second Reg
iment OF the line" was the reply.
When Captain Zedwitz was suffi-
GENTLY recovered to be removed to
Berlin lie found that his red rose had
become quite famous, for showers of
roses-red roses-were sent to him
from all sides, SO that his rooms
were full of them. In March of the
next year, six months after the
original rose had faded Zedwitz had
occasion to ask an audience of the
Emperor-King. He was received
most graciously and at the Emper-,
or's request told the story of the
battle OF Mars-la-Tour. Then, to
Captain Zedwitz' surprise the Emper-
or spoke Of the rose which had been
sent to him at Gore, and again
thanked the officer for it. As led
WITT was leaving the Emperor he met
the Crown Prince, who in his CONVEX
sation also recalled the rose with n
smile. Even then Captain Won Zed-
WITT had not heard the last OF his
famous rose, for on the following
Christmas he had the pleasure OF re-
ceiving an autograph letter from
the Emperor inclosing an emblemati-
cal picture-a stone bearing the date
August 10, 1870, Gortze, party COW
cred by the tri-color of the confeder-
alton, Prussian infantry helmet with
oak wreath below, and the Iron
Cross with ribbon. A rose in dull
silver was introduced in the gold
frame. "-Manchester Examiner.

Natures Sweet Music.

The Rev. DR.. Parker, OF the City
Temple, London in recent lecture
sold he deplored the fact that some
men had no sense ofhumor whatever.
Such men were arithmetical prosic,
and too serious to be really enthusiasts
tic about anything. Theirs was seri-
iousness that was nero wooden ness.
The man who never laughed never
really cried. Nearly all great preach
ers have been humorists. Luther
had his broad jokes. Whitfield
laughed with o will. Some of the
wittiest thingo ever uttered were
spoken by John Wesley. Even Mr..
Surgeons grim Calvinism could not
stitch merriest jokes. Henry Ward
Beecher's grandson said: 81 like to
go to meeting because like to hear
grandpa's little jokes"
With regard to pulpit humor, DR..
Parker pointed out that there was
a buffoonery which all wise men
should frown upon-the rude, clumsy
elownish joking worthy only of con-
tempt, not on the high ground ofits
irreverance, but on the low ground oil
simple imbecility and indecency.
On the other hand, there was q rein
ed humor, which no more burdened
the discourse than the dew burdened
the rose bud on which it glistened.
IA to laughter, the whole universe
was full Of it. When the universe
was alphabetically interpreted,
what was laughter, rational and
timely, but species of music? Was
not laughter another name for glad
ness? Was there no gladness in tho
sunny universe? 1t was not mere
Joking that elected laughter. There
was a laughter born of reason, in
spired by thankfulness, chastened by
the ever-present melancholy in whose
gray climate all human life have
lived. Commerce would do it's shop
keeping better if it laughed heartily
now and then. The house would be
more OF q home If its inmates were
more cheerful.

GOODNESS OF LAKE SUPERIOR,
Bodies Become Refrigerated and
Never Rise to the Surface.

Bodies Become Refrigerated and
Never Rise to the Surface.
A writer in Harper's Magazine says.
Lake Superior is a capricious mon
pter, demanding skilled seamanship
and the use of powerful and staunch
boats, the majority of which are COM
parable with the vessels in our At
Iantic coasting trade. The lake is
veritable womb OF storms. They
develop quickly there, and even more
speedily the water takes on furious
character. 1t is always cold, and the
atmosphere above and far around it
Is kept cool all summer. have been
told but cannot verify the Statement,
that the temperature of the water in
the open lake never rises above 49,
Fahrenheit. As q rule, the men who
sail upon it cannot swim. The lake
offers no inducement to learn the art,
and, alas! those who are expert
swimmers could not keep alive for
any great length of time in
the icy water. When I was max
ing inquiries upon this point,
] found, as one almost always does,
some who disputed what the majority
agreed upon. l even found an old
gentleman, a professional man be-
yond seventy years of age, who said
that for several years he had visited
the lake each summertime, and that
he had made it a practice to battle in
it's waters nearly every day. It was
chilly, he admitted, and he did not
stay in very long. But many sailors,
among them some ship and steam
ship captains, confirmed my belief
that few Lake Superior seamen have
learned to swim; and that the cold
ness of the water quickly numbs those
who fall into it. l asked one captain
how long he supposed q man might
battle for life, or cling to q spar in the
lake. He answered, very sensibly, it
seemed to me, that some men could
endure the cold longer than others,
and that the more flesh and fat man
possessed, the longer he could
keep alive. "But," he added,
"the only man ever saw fall over
board went down like shot before
we could get to him. / always sup
posed he took a cramp."
The bodies OF the drowned are said
not to rise to the surface. They are
refrigerated, and the decomposition
which causes the ascent of human
bodies in other waters does not take
place. II one interesting contribution
to my notes is true, and there be
depths to which fishes do not descend,
it is possible that many hapless
sailor-man and voyager lies as he died,
q century back perhaps, and will ever
thus remain, lifelike and natural, I'M
der the darkening veil of those emerald
depths.
