An Intelligent Tourist.

There are some people who know it
all, and others who think they do, and
the latter are apt to make the reatest
show of knowledge.
One of this species stood near the
bow of Champlain steamer one day.
He had a remarkable sunburned COM
plexion, he carried guide-book in one
hand. three railroad time tables and
map in the other, and he was bursting
with information. Finally, unable to
stand it longer, he approached small
man who was leaning thoughtfully over
the rail.
my friend, he said impressively, Il
suppose you know that those gray and
fallen walls over on the west shore are
all that remain of the world fam Gus
Fort Ticonderoga?"
mo, didn't know it, " said the small
man, simply.
We'll, sir, they are. 1t was on that
spot that the English commander was
called from his bed to surrender in the
name of the Continental Congress- 1t
was along these shores, added the man
with the rudy complexion, waving
the futtering time tables oratorically,
that the French and Indians fought
the English. Every stone, sir, is
crowded with history.
"Ticonderoga, hey?' said the other,
refectively. DO you live up here?
mo, live in New York"
Born here, perhaps?"
No, sir

guide book.

Love never wrongs rs. Love never
tortures us with wanton cruelty. Low,
never lays upon us one needless load;
every burden 1T ever puts on our backs
is intended TO make us stronger. The
love that spared not His own Son, but
delivered Him up 10 die for us all, can
be trusted behind the darkest mystery
or the heaviest blow. Some Christian who
is suffering the stroke of Gods hand
will probably say: II cannot understand
how a loving Father can treat me as
He is now doing" My friend, this is
not the world for clearing up mysteries
or receiving explanations from God.
