He RRfrziued.

She lived in the country, and he from the town for the summer fell desperate ly in love with her.
 But her heart was in the keeping of n neighboring farmers son, and she could not return his metropolitan affection.
 She had told him So that night on her fathers porch, where the honeysuckles hung low in the moonlight and filled the air with their luxurious fragrance.
 If you do not marry me" he whis- pered hoarsely, II will drown myself"
 "Oh. don't" she pleaded, for her heart was tender, though another's.
 But I will, I tell you; will, T he al- most shouted.
 You mustn't, she begged, laying her soft, white hand on his arm, there's no place wet enough except our well, and, oh, Mir. Smith, what will we do for drinking water:" and there was that in her tone which convinced him that he was not amphibious. Detroit Free Press

 For the past two years Lady Paget has been what she herself calls "a full blown vegetarian" though she does not go to the extreme of excluding eggs. butter and milk from her diet and admits that at a dinner party she is sometimes forced to take very small piece of fish or a scrap of an entrcc. just to avoid being too peculiar"
 Lady Paget alleges that she was led to adopt vrgetarianism because of the re voltinG disclosures of some papers she read about the transportation of cattle and slaughter houses, but says she was also moved by the [celing that she had no right to indulge in food that neccssi- tatyd any one following "a hrutalizing and degrading occupation like that of a butcher" Nryetarians. she admits. may be faddists and cccrutrirs. but they are invariably high minded. we'll disposed people, and believe that the practice of veEctarianism will play an important part in refining th" rIasScS and render ing them less C, A ," and brutal"

 l have before me as write an account of the first camp meeting held in Della ware in lS05, and of number of other camp meetings held in the vicinity of New York the same year. The Delaware camp meeting was opened every morning at by the blowing of trumpets, trump cts sounded again at $ for preaching, at 3 r.

 Perhaps the camp meetings of these times that differ most from the original sort are those held by the Salvation Army. The uniforms of the men and women, the beating of drums and cym- bals and the sound of wind instruments are features that would have been re garded with horror by the Mcthodists who used to hold camp meetings at The Hook when I was boy.
 In the south, camp meetings are largely left to the negroes. With the colured brethren and sisters the woody gather ings are truly seasons of refreshing and awakening. It is at camp meeting time that the emotional and musical qualities of the colored race have widest oppor- tunity for exercise. Here is a sample verse from one of the most popular camp meeting hymns:
 Oh! how I'll shout when glt home! DOan' yo feel like Crossin obery He can create, an he destroy Doan' yo feel like Crossin ober? Roll, Jordan, roll! Roll, Jordan, rolu
 All things considered, camp meetings are among the most picturesque features of American life. May each sort flour ish as long as the republic stands, from Chautauqua and Ocean Grove to those held by the Salvationists at The Hook and the negro meetings at Gravely Hill! 1. D. MARSHALL.

The preachers rough board stand has giveez way to a pagoda with jig saw ornamentations..

 Ocean Grove and Chautauqua and many of the summer schools of today are merely highly developed camp meet ings, Ocean Grove has developed along one line and Chautauqua and the sum, mer schools along another. Camp meet ings of the fervid sort have not by any means died out as the more staid variety has come in, even in the vicinity of the big cities. 1 know of Free Methodist camp meeting that was held this sum- mer in quite as primitive fashion as the old time meetings at The Hook. even to the lights, which were furnished by burning pine knots ill old iron kettles hung from wooden arms nailed to trees.
 The Methodist camp meeting at Sing Sing held its siXty-seCond annual ses. sions this year and was very largely attended. The New York newspapers gave it much attention and reported seasons that vied in fervur with the live Hest of the past. The camp ground at Old Orchard. Me, is as we'll appointed as any in the country, and the meetings held there this season have been inter esting and diversified. The meetings of the Christian Alliance attracted more attention from the newspapers than any other held on these grounds. They were in charge of Rev. Dr. Simpson, and an important feature was the healing of the sick.
 You may perhaps doubt the genuine ness of the reported cures, but the daily attendants upon the meetings did not and do not. They say that they know whereof they speak and claim that "thC healing of the sick, the casting ont of devils, the coming of the Holy Spirit with great power. all occur at old Orchard during each session of theil meetings" But these things do not hap pen because of faith alone-they must be accompanied by the hardest sort ot work, and there must be ample contri
