As to Ourselves.

1t is a fact which no one disputes,
that nothing worth having is got in
this world without hard work and
waiting. Yet when we set ourselves
seriously the task of gaining great
good, we become astonished and COM
plain loudly at the discovery that we
have to work hard and wait long to
get it. This is about as reasonable as
if man should acknowledge that two
and two made four, and should grum-
BILE because in his private cash ac-
count he could not make two dollars
and two dollars add up to five dollars.
Nothing we find out in life is more
utterly confounding than this: that
truth is not only true in the abstract,
but that it is true for us. 1t is not on
ly copy book axiom, but a vital fact
in life. that if we do good, good is
bound to come of it; and If we do
evil, we must expect evil. 1t seems
to take a long time before Nature
convinces each of us that we live un-
der her law as individuals in common
with all mankind We concede that
her law is immutable, but we have a
secret conviction that an exception is
to be made in our own particular case.

son, the affair was SO enjoyable, and
consequently successful, that others
have followed with the sole and
avowed object of pleasure. The
truth of the matter is, bright women
enjoy each others society much better
than is generally believed; and one, at
least. has confessed that she considers
a bright woman's appreciation more
sincere than that of 4 man, and that
she always feels on her mettle when

The Birth of Christian Endeayor.

Twelve years ago Feb. 2, quietly and
without ostentation, was born the first
society Of Christian Endeavor. Twelve
years have nearly passed, and there is
scarcely land on the globe that has not
such societies, and there is scarcely a
language Of q civilized nation into which
the constitution has not been translated.
God has multiplied the seed sown until
now we have 100000 fellow members
In over $4,000 societies, and never was
the outlook 80 bright for Christian En-
deavor as it is today. The only feeling
that should animate our hearts is one Of
devout gratitude to Almighty God. There
is no room for self congratulation or for
boasting. All that can be said is with
deep humility to exclaim. "This is the
Lords doing"
Wlliston church, Portland, Me-, the
birthplace Of Christian Endeavor, had
been organized three years when DR..
Clark accepted its pastorate. The church
was the outgrowth of mission Sunday
school and branch Of the State Street
Congregational church of Portland. Rev.
Burke F. Leavitt, recently of the Lincoln
Park church, Chicago, was its first pas
tor. Its present pastor is Rev. Dwight
M. Pratt, author of "a Decade of Chris
tian Endeavor."
The Christian Endeavor society was
organized in the parsonage of Williston
church. For four years previous to this
date Mrs. Clark had gathered about her
band of boys and girls for Christian
nurture and work. This band was called
the Mizpah circle, and from this circle
came many Of the, original members Of
the first Christian Endeavor society. AS
Mr.. Pratt says, "Mizpah was the bud;
Christian Endeavor the blossom" Most
truly has DR.. Clark said that Mrs. Clark
rocked the cradle in which the society
was born.
At the meeting in the parsonage DR..
Clark read the constitution to those pres
ent, explained the pledge, and 81 signed
as active members and six as associate
members. Mr.. w. II. Pennell, now Of
Boston and one of the trustees of the
United society, was the first to sign the
pledge and constitution.

Aspiration.


Would you see the beautiful vision,
That the Father has in store
For His chosen ones-His faithful,
Who serve Him evermore?
Would you hear the grandest music
The swelling strains divine
The heavenly melodies surging
Around that soul OF thine?
Would you like the gift that's promised
To His children here below
Ever to live in the sunlight
And Joy immortal know?
Would you have the life eternal,
Ever with Him to be,
Lovingly serving the Master
Who gives such gifts to thee?
oh, come unto Jesus, your Saviour,
And, coming, all burdens will fall.
He'll fill all your soul with his glory
His grace he will never recall.

other two little crafts with their
watchful occupants lay ont in the
stream in the silence of breathless
anxiety. BY slow degrees Graham
drew closer and closer until at last he
was within striking distance, when
down came the macheta, and the sew
cred head of the decapitated anaconda
few upwards and alighted in the boat
behind the slayer. There it lay in the
bottom amongst fish spears and turtle
shells. the wide jaws opening and
shutting, and the blach-forl1ed tongue
quiveringly protruding as in life. For
. few moments the headless body
writhed vigorously on the fallen tree,
while the tail dashed itself tightly
around a projecting limb.
By rope made fast to it, it was
quickly towed to the ranch, cut open
and the dead body OF the hapless child
found, whole and unbroken, in the
capacious stomach.
The delta with its Indian life is at
first charming in its wildness and sim
plicity, but it soon pals on one used
to move in more civilized surroundings.
So it was with Graham Bidding good

Trinidad, where, with several little

| anaconda of unusual length and thick
ness. Sometimes the giant serpent
would be noticed swimming across the
channel near by, with his head raised
slightly above the surface, leaving be-
hind him long ripple, temporarily
marking his sinuous course He had
often told the wondering Indians OF
this huge reptile, and averred that it
could not be less than thirty feet in
length. Occasionally buoyed up upon
the surface by the air with which it
inflated itself it would float lazily by,
and at such times appeared unusually
large.
One evening when Chichi1na, the
wife, went out to fetch in the drying
fish, she found to her surprise, lying
coiled upon the same tree-trunl, the
great snake engaged in swallowing at
his leisure full-grown wild duck
which he probably snatched from the
water as it swan past. The woman,
like one used to such things, in whom
natural timidity is dulled by familiar
ity with the terrible and the danger
Gus, approached fearlessly, threaten
ing him with the appraised canoe-pad-
die, in order to compel the intruder to
vacate the spot where her fish was dy-
ing AT sight of her, he angrily drew
himself up, and with glistening eyes
and quivering tongue greeted her with
loud hiss: but as she still drew near
er, he lowered his head and slowly
glided Off into the water. For some
time after this he was not seen again.
A few weeks subsequently it hap
pened that some Indians from up
river came down from the village for a
few days hunting with Graham. Sue
cess followed them everywhere. The
skins of two jaguars and three tapirs
were drying at the ranch and
Chichima had plenty to do in attend
ing to the curing of an unusually
large quantity of fish. One day the
hunters had gone away at daybreak,
while she remained at home with the
child, occupied as has been mentioned.
Towards evening she placed her little
son in the dugout and padded out to
the fallen tree to fetch in the fish

tropical island of Trinidad. where he
was often told of the wonders and
beauties of savage life IN the delta OF
the Orinoco. His adventurous spirit
was fired with the idea of going there
SO he fitted himself out with boat and
full hunting equipments, and in few
days was far up the Vagres mouth on
his way to the Indian ranch near Buja.
He easily made friends with the Qua
rauno Indians, quickly picking up
their language and adopting all their
storm embrowned his skin and almost
hid every difference between him and
his savage friends. He was active and
strong, and equally at home on land
or water; and being good shot with
the gun very soon became expert with
tie bow as well, and was consequently
most successful in the chase. Being of
a daring and playful humor, and some
what of a naturalist, large snakes
seemed to have fascination for him;
nor would he ever kill one. On the
contrary many a time did he startle
the Indians by fetching home large
anaconda alive, and suddenly letting
it loose among them. The liberated
serpent would of course rapidly glide
of to his watery home, leaving the In
dians laughing after their fright and
loving Graham all the more for his
boyish sportiveness.
Many years before Spanish refugee
had lived with the tribe, married one
of its daughters and left an only girl,
fairer of skin than her companions and
remarkable for her beauty. Her large
dark eyes were constantly observing
Graham, for she looked upon him as
somewhat akin to herself. In Indian
fashion she asked him to make her his
wife, a1e accordingly when the dry
season came he and his semi-Indian
bride set out in canoe to build them
selves ranch at Isla Venada near the
Boca del Tigre. Here in a sequestered
nook Of the watery forest, looking out
on the river, they set up their airy
Guarauno home, reared on posts far
above the menacing floods, and hither
would they come from the village
every year, to pass the dry season
hunting and fishing in the vicinity.
Generally they went out together, but
sometimes the young wife would re-
main at home to attend to the work
about the ranch, drying the fish of the
previous days capture upon the pros
trate trunk of large tree, that lay
not far from their dwelling half sub
merged in the river.
When the second dry season came
around they had baby passenger to
take down with them in the canoe, and
the little one grew to be fine lively
boy of three years, with auburn curls
and dark eyes. who already aimed at
handling the paddle and the bow, and
under his fathers guidance even es-
sayed to swim.
