What. no elder sister?
wouldn't be you
Who buttons your jacket?
Who ties up your shoe?
Who gives you boost
When you climb up treef
Who bathes your humps,
AS kind as can be:
Who guided your oar
The first time You padded?
Who blows your birds eggs,
Zen when they're addledi
Who sets your moths,
Your butterflies too?
Who mops up the floor
When you spill the glue'
Who makes you tafy?
Il tellyou its finel
Who bats your hook,
Untangles your line:
Who takes out your splinters,
All in minute:
Who tells you stories.
And sings like a linnet?
!, o sister! pity you,
Truly do.
And oh. for whole farm
wouldn't be you,

hailed him.
'Will you let me have three quarts
for fifty cents?n she asked
"Yes, LADY," he said, handing her out
three boxes.
There aren't three quarts in them, +"
she said doubtfully, as she gave him the
half dollar
And there amt fifty cents in this
half dollar, either" he retorted, ''but
it passes for that much just the same"

Arizona is plentifully sprinkled with
the ruins Of strange habitetions. Most
of them are constructed OF concrete y.
adobe, and the n mystery about them is
the identity Of the people who de
signed them. How they could be built
IL not a matter Of conjecture. as the
materials are close at hand. But there
is one ruin, although still in a good
state Of preservation, which. accord
mystery, no matter in what light il ia
considered. II Is in the Huachuca
Mountains. not far from the military
resef eation, IL a northeasterly dlrec-
ton. Nothing is known of It's origin.
and the wonderful part Is the material
of which 1t is constructed. It is about
200 miles from the ocean and sur
rounded on all sides by hills of sand
and rocks covered with cacti There
Is no water for miles, except tne ex-
cuses for rivers that. run during thu
rainy season. There is not even the
suggestion of water. and vet the house

tanned is a mystery that may never he
solved. 1t does seem possible that the
builder OF the house would carry the
material over hundreds of mile $ ot
desert when there we're plenty of rocks
near by that would answer the purpose
Just as we'll. even though they were
not 80 unique. The house IS built in
the shape Of the straw huts of the
Papago Indians and Is about the same
size. There il room inside for five or
Six persons, but at present nobody oc-
rtp'es it, except, perhaps, some pros,
loctor who uses it for a temporary
shelter in cold weather. There are y
dozen varieties Of shells to be found
III the walls. and one over the door is
Of extraordinary size. The age of the
building will never be known, but
there is little doubt that 1t is as old a.
the oldest IN the Territory.

5. Agrippa.
We have noticed the effect of St. Paups
speech on Festus.
Much hiss been written on the real spirit of
the words of Festus and Agrippa. Many con-
slider them as ironical. Words. however, like
persons accused of crime, should be regarded
and treated as innocent till proved guilty. 1t
is not claimed that Agrippa was entirely per-
suaded. Rev. DIR. Bellows once said: The
almost doubtless, left an insupersble barrier
between him and st. Paul. Agripps was too
high in station, too rich, fattered, connected
with too close a circle of heather sages,
grandees, and proud subjects of the great
Roman mistress Of the world, to have had the
least thought of passing the bounds of hearty
admiration for Paulis oloquence. Almost
meant only as near as Roman Provincial
King might come to tent maker, who had
adopted the religion of crucfied Jew, the moro
despised outcsst of race of despised fanatics,
boasting provincial religion opposed to the
whole worlds gods and creeds. For the
moment, at least. he was almost convinced OF
the truth Of his assertions, aud the Importance
of his claim for Christ's cause. But Agrippa
went away essentially unchanged. We do not

altogether that Paul prayed it might become

brance for many years of the story Of his in
terview with Pau-nay. kept i'll his heart some
futteTing of fear that there must he something
in so earnest and solemn plea-which neither
his position nor his whole education allowed
him to entertain seriously, but which still
haunted him with its questions But this was
ALL"
Very many hold that st. Pauls words, accom-
panied as they were by the influence of the
Holy Spirit, left Agrippa in more or less dis
turbed state of mind. The sermons delivered
tho text, almost" ETC., assume Agrippa
meant what he said. The hymn, Almost Per-
suaded," loses its force if Agrippa were only
ironical. It would be true however as to fact
in regard to thousands Of men and women to
day.
8. Conclusion.
Felix, Festus Agrippa, Bsrnice have all lost
hold on our world but st. Paul still Is an
active factor. His bonds are off. He is deni-
