Gus treasure IN my keeping. They
would tell theirfriends in the adjacent
village, the keepers, the t~radespeople,
in q few days the story would be
carried about and made known to
hundreds; and was there none
amongst them whose cupidity
might take practical form? 1t
was quite possible that under this
very roof there was one with the in.
genuity and daring to plan and exc
cute the robbery. A servant intim-
ately acquainted with the arrange
ment OF the rooms and the peculiari-
ties OF the building, would probably
know OF the external means OF COM
munication between the bay and oriel
windows. Without this knowledge,
no one, it seemed to me, would dare
to attempt that hazardous passage
at night and in the dark; but with
that knowledge, and possibly some
previous practice, the feat was sufi-
GENTLY practicable. In that case,
Edith might actually have heard and
seen what she had since attributed to
Imagination.
But what end could be served by
these repeated attacks uponher sensi-
bility?
Acause is sometimes discovered by
examining the effect. Now, what ef-
feet had been produced by these at
tacks? The first hadfrightened Edith
excessively; the second had made n
sliehter impression,-thus far the eli.
feet had been cOniinea 20 her; but the
third-for only to q t:.lrd fright could
/ attribute her scream OF terror-had
brought her father and myself from
Il rooms. Inst antly, somethinglike
the truth flashed upon my mind.
TO bring me from my room was the
very object with which tine attack up
on Edith had been made.
Unriddling the mystery with this
key,I assumed that the thief had
watched me close the door upon Van
Hoeck and return to my room; that,
after allowing me sufficient time to get
into bed, but not TO fall into sound
sleep, he had made the attack upon
Edith, opening her door beforehand to
provide aspeedy means OF escape, and
to allow her cry to De more distinctly
heard. that, having succeeded in terri
flying her, he had sped down the stairs
in the left block, passed through the
library and dining-room, and ascend
ed by the stairs in the right block
about the same time that might be
supposed to have reached Edith's
room, and that, reckoning upon my
keeping the Great Hesper under my
pillow, and leaving it there in my
alarm upon Edith's account, he had
expected to have possessed himself of
our treasure. Ii what | thus assum
ed vas the fact, then indeed this rlan
might have succeeded but for
Van Hoeck's prudent insistance upon
my strapping the diamond to my
wrist.

man ii You sht.ll, like JOSEPH, ne the
same when living with wicked Pharaoh
as with Dious Jacob, or Daniel as pur.
in Babylon as in Jerusalem. There
ls no passage in II mans life OF more
thrllllnsinterestth on theday in which
he leaves home and goes Otto seek his
fortune. The father, through The in
terceding OF metropolitan friends,
has secured the son u place in
some bank or store orotlice. SCHOOL,
mates OH the night before his depar-
ture come to take their farewell OF the
young adventurer. That morning he
takes a last walk around lie old place,
and going past some loved spot, II sly
tear may start, but no one sees it.
The trunk is on t~hccarriaye, and after
a warm good-by, away they speed
over the hills. Set down amid excite
ments and among companions not
over scrupulous as to their words or
deeds, temptations troop around the
stranger. The morningcomes, bat no
family altar, and the Sabbath, butno
real quiet, and perhaps ut the sane
tuary the faces are all strange and no
one cartAi whether lie goes to church
or whether he does not 60. Long win
ter evenings arrive, andhow shallthey
be spent? On his way home from his
place Of business he saw flaming pla-
cards announcing rare performances
and that this az positively the last
night. AT the door OF his cheerless
boarding house, no one greets him,
and the evening r1eal is insipid, for
no one cares whether he eats or does
not eat. The DON in the third story
that evening seems doleful and repell-
ing. A book snatched from the stand
proves to he dull, for no SISTER is there
to look Over with him. In despair
HE KUsHES IT. RECKLESS.
MS to whcA' he goes if only he can see
something that will make him stop
thinking. That night may be the
turning point in his history. Once
within the fatal circle OF sin and the
soul has no power to repcl it. Onthat
dark seq lie is launched, where the
gleam OF Joy is only the flash OF the
pit and the roar OF laushterthe creak-
ing OF the gates OF the lost.
In many country churchyard is
now the grave OF some youthful spirit
tilat went away 1.-THE and bounding.
but came home diseased and crushed
and blasted to disgrace tho sepulcl.re
OF his fathers. Yet this exodus must
be made. The Lord stretch forth his
arms for the deliverance OF those
Daniels away down in Babylon.
Wherever your lot. may he cast-in
far inland town or in some great sea-
port-maintain in your absence the
same principles OF morals and relig-
ion which may have been instilled 10y
parental solicitude. And while YOU
may feel in your heart and life the
advantages OF early religious culture,
forget not those to whom you are
chiefly indebted. and pray that rs age
comes upon them and the night of
death begins to iall on their pathway,
the hope OF heaven may beum,lroush
the darkness, lustrous and steady as
the evening star.

There was some stir along the city front
yesterday morning when it became known
that the United States cruiser Baltimore
was on her way in through the Golden Gate.
Crowds gathered al various points to catch
glimpse of the much talked-of and written
about cruiser.
Although the vessel was sighted off the

she reached her anchorage off Vallejo-street
Wharf. As soon as the anchor was down, a
cutter was lowered AID manned by twelve
hardy seamen was rapidly rowed ashore In
the stern OF the beat was a young officer
with bulky-lOoking mail-pOuch, which no
doubt contained Captain Schey's dispatches
to the naval authorities at Washington.
A reporter visited the cruiser after she
came to al anchor and was politely received
by Lieutenant Commander Sebree. Tie re-
porter soon learned that Chile was for
hidden subject Of conversation by either
the officers or men of the vessel, Leuten-
