 Farmer Fosters tears no longer stood in his eyes, but followed each other in quick succession down his sun Drowned cheeks. He felt as did many others of the congregation. that at last Deacon Ellis stood face to face with that moment in his life when there was nothing left for gratitude
 For the first Sunday since the little church had heard his prayers there would be no thanksgiving. Then the sympathetic farmer thought of the mortgage already as good as lifted, and he felt a strong impulse to rise up in his place aud tell him; to cry out: Thank the Lord if you wish; go on thanking Him"
 So excited did he become that Mrs. Foster touched him on the arm and said, in a whisper: Ezekiel kneel down"
 The deacon had begun his prayer; broken and qulvering the accents soft and slow the petition. The rod had fallen so heavily. There was piead- ing cry for strength a grasp at faith. full surrender to the will of Him who doeth all things well; and then. as the voice gathered strength and the heart returned to its old-tine trust. the chief characteristic of his religion exerted itself. and Deacon Ellis thanked the Lord that she whom He had given to be to him q helpmate and

means Of a ladder which had been left by
some painters
Bareheaded and barefooted he walked
over to the home Of Bland Harcum, a
distance of one mile. he reached Mr..
Harcum's house about o'clock In the
morning Mr. Harcum was up, and
asked the sleeping boy what was the
matter, receiving the reply that his
family was being murdered. Mr.. Har-
cum suspected that the boy was not
awake, as be showed no signs Of being
cold, although the night was an in
tenssly cold one.
After sitting by the Ere for a short
time young Banks awoke and affrightedly
looking about him was seized with VIC.

AMERICAN women are, just now, ia
nous IN Europe; famous, too, in manner
and 60 a degree which is not creditable
OF desirable for modest woman. One
Of those women, Mrs. Deacon, is famous
almost to infamy; another, Mrs May
brick, is in prison for the murder of her
husband, while the Duchess OF Marlbor-
ough. formerly Mrs. Hammersley, is in the
midst OF family row with Lady Blan-
ford, the former wife OF the Duke Of
Marlborough. An American woman,
who succeeds well enough in con-
trolling herself and influencing
her set in this country, fnds herself
hedged about with very different oonnec-
tions Ia those countries, where the rigid
rules Of sristocracy have been in vogue
for centuries. In this country woman
is judged by her own standard; she is
received or rejected for herself and at
her worth. She is estimated for what she
is to society In the older states
OF Europe she Is estimated as
one OF a class; she is worth only what
a member Of the class is worth; she is
not valued as a unit, nor thought OF for
her separate individuality. Hence It Is,
tina the American women fail in Europe
they become merged ia a class as in
distlnguishable units, or, they fall into
scandalous ways Of a rich class without
having tbe sanction Of caste TO protect
them from the consequences Of their
derelictions.
