although many strong impulses warred

"Word shall be left at the guard

The young lady rose and left for her
cabin, from the window of which she
soon afterward saw the sled containing
dozen men, preceded by the lieutenant
on his horse, crossing the brook and
moving toward the southern end Of the
valley.
For miles the wind had swept the
ground nearly clear Of snow, and the
bob moved as easily as if upon an eastern
country road, but near the southern
limit of the valley roll in the surface
and notch in the eastern range cause |
such confusion Of wind currents that
an extensive drift barricaded the road,
stretching snowy ridge far across the
basin. 1t was impracticable to skirt and
must be cut through.
The men fell to work briskly with
their shovels, throwing out compact
blocks on either hand, and in time had
a way sufficiently broad to permit the
sled to pass through, but from this first
drift to the timber there was success
sion of similar distractions, although
less in size, so that the short winter day
had nearly ended before the work was
completed and the soldiers started OH
their return to camp Beyond the forest
boundary the road was passably clear.
Within the deep wood the snow had
fallen uniformly and without drifting
and became less deep with each succeed
ing mile toward the Jemez river.
The valley of the river, nearly 3, 600
feet below the level of Great valleys,
was snowless and verdant.

MISERY OF SEASICKNESS.

Bishop Potter is credited with tell
ing the story which, more aptly than
the thousands of other stories on the
same subject, illustrates the abject
misery and utter responsibility of
seasickness.
~ was coming from Liverpool upon
one of the famous liners," says Bishop
Potter, sand although the sky was
clear and the weather warm, some
what tempestuous sea had occasioned
more than the usual amount of sea-
sickness among the passengers. AS
paced the deck one afternoon 1 noticed
lady reclining upon one of the bench
es, and the unearthly pallor of her
face and the hopeless languidity Of her
manner, indicated that she had reach
ed that state of collapse which marks
the limit of seasickness.
"Touched by the piteous spectacle,
I approached the poor creature, and
in my most compassionate tone l ask
ed, Madam, can be of any service to
you?'
"She did not open her eyes, but I
heard her murmur family, Thank
you, sir, but there is nothing you can
do-nothing at all
"'At least, madam said I Itenderly,
permit me to bring you a glass of
water
"She moved her head feebly, and
answered, No, thank you-nothing
at ALL
But your husband, madam said
I, 'the gentleman lying there with his
head in your lap-shall I not bring
something to revive him p
"The lady again moved her head
feebly, and again she murmured faint

JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN FAITH.

DR.. Joseph Silverman, a Jewish
Rabbi of New York city, in a religious
address, thus epitomized the Jewish
creed:
And what are those first principles ?
They are the fundamental truths upon
which all religions have been built, and
may be expressed in the following
creed:
First, 1 believe in God.
Second, believe in reward for good
and punishment for evil.
Third, I believe in separating the
sacred from the secular.
Fourth, l believe in a Sabbath for
man and beast.
Fifth, 1 believe in filial devotion to
parents.
Sixth, believe in right to life and
liberty.
Seventh, l believe in the sanctity of
marriage.
Eighth, believe in the rights of prop
erty.
Ninth, believe in truth and hon
esty.
Tenth, I believe in the unselfish love
of fellow men,"
If our readers will compare this with
the Apostles Creed, they will get in
contrast the fundamental articles of
Judaism and Christianity
II believe in the Holy Ghost, the
Holy Catholic Church, the communion
of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting.
Changing the order, and making
these affirmations in slightly differ
ent form, the Christian believes all
that the Jew does; but he also believ-
es on the evidence of Christ and his
resurrection, in the individual and
personal immortality Of the SOU, in a
divine provision for delivering the in
dividual from the sins with which he
has entangled himself, in spiritual
communion with others, based on the
expression of his spiritual character,
and in a direct and immediate con-
verse with God, speaking to and dwell
ling in the hearts of his children. Per-
hans Judaism believes in all this; we
think the Judaism of Isaiah believed
most oft, but Rabbi Silverman makes
no mention of any of it in his creed
The Outlook.

The frelights shone brightly through

HOW SHE STARTED HIN.

An old white horse attached to an
empty express wagon balked at the
corner of Twenty-sixth street and
Broadway, New York, the other day,
and for three-quarters of all hour sue
cessfully resisted every attempt to
make him move on. The driver bella
bored him with whip, tugged at the
reins and yelled, but to no purpose.
Then crowd gathered and began to
give advice freely. One man seized
the horse by the ears, another grasped
the bride and began to pull, while
two or three others braced themselves
against the animals hindquarters and
tried to push him forward. The
creature didn't move q foot. One
wise fellow blindfolded the horse with
the drivers coat, after which he de-
clared the animal would move right
along; but the plan was a dismal fail
ure. Another insisted that if plug
of tobacco was forced into the Great
ure's mouth he would be all right,
saying which he thrust a big piece of
navy twist between the horses jaws.
Meanwhile the crowd continued to
grow, ard every newcomer had plan
of his own for solving the problem,
which by this time had effectually stop
the movement of vehicles in Broad
way for two or three blocks in either
direction. The horse was apparently
there to stay. The driver was in de-
spair. The four or FIVE policemen who
had been drawn to the scene by the
gathering crowd looked sheepish and
puzzled. A lady who had watched
the scene from the window of neigh
boring cafe finally turned to the gen.
tleman accompanying her and said !:
$50 and start that horse. These men
never can do it. They don't under
stand. How shall you do it? Simply
take a halter, walk up to the horse
quietly and hitch it to his bit-ring.
Take the other end in your hand
speak to the horse gently, but firmly,
and lead him away" The gentleman
went out and borrowed a hitching
strap from hackman, and the crowd
jeered him as he approached the balk-
ing horse. He attached the strap to
the bit-ring as directed, patted the
animal kindly on the neck, and took
the end of the halter in his hand.
With word of command he started
to lead the way, and the horse follow
ed as promptly and obediently as if
that were exactly what he had been
waiting for all the while The crowd
stood back in wonderment and admi-
ration. Some of the superstitious ones
declared that the animal had been
hypnotized.
"There is no trick about it," ex-
planned the little woman laughingly to
her friends as the gentleman rejoined
the party in the cafe. "With all those
halfwitted men fooling around him,
the horse probably felt that he knew
as much as they did. What he need
ed was neither beating nor yelling,
but the presence of master. TO a
horse, as to other animals, the hitching
strap, rope or chain is the token of bis
own subsection. The sight of it will
subdue him when all other means
have failed. Horses are a good deal
like some men-you may lead them
easily; but you can't drive them"-

DIsCIPLINE.-A true soldier always
obeys orders faithfully no matter at
what sacrifice. A company of regi-
ment was once sent on some duty TO a
remote village and left for several
weeks, quite separated from its usual
base of supplies.
During this period some general Or
ders, applicable more especial to men
in barracks, were sent to the COM
mander of the company. One clause
of those orders was as follows:
Gall men in the command shall
change their shirts at least twice a
week"
The captain gave orders to the ord
erly sergeant to see the command put
into execution.
"But, captain" said the sergeant,
"there's only a shirt apiece to every
man in the company. How can
they"
"Silence," exclaimed the captain
"orders are orders, sergeant. Let the
men change shirts with one another"
So the sergeant saw to it that, as long
as the company remained in the place,
on every Sunday and Wednesday morn
ing, the soldiers snapped shirts one
with the other.

DANIEL WAS AMONG THE MISS
1NG.-Some of Henry Watterson's s
sharp sayings are going the rounds
again, see. Henry inherited his keen
wit and knack of saying things from his
father, Harvey Watterson, who was
one of the best story-tellers I ever met.
Somebody once spoke in his hearing
of the satisfaction great men derived
from fame.
"Fame!" echoed Mr.. Watterson.
"I never hear the word that l do not
think of Daniel Webster's story of the
time he met an old gentleman in a rail-
way car, and, learning that he was
from New Hampshire, thought he
would draw him out q little about the
old home State. A little more CONVEX
sation showed that the stranger came
from Mr.. Webster's native town.
Here was all opportunity not to be
lost. Did you ever hear of the Web
ster family there?' asked the states
man.
"Oh, yes; I know them very we'll.
The old man and 1 were great friends. }
"Ah, then you can probably tell me
what became of the boys?'
"'Well, Ezekiel became a big law
yer-the biggest lawyer, 1 guess, in all
New Hampshire. The girls, too,
turned out WELL
you don't say 80. And wasn't
there boy named Daniel? :?
"The old man pondered minute
before he answered: Now I come to
think, there was boy named Dan1,
but he went down to Boston years ago,
and no one amt heard of him since. "

ways speaks to me in that tongue, and
he arranges my reading in American and
English books"
"But why does he take such pains to
thoroughly unfit you for the marriage
contemplated"
"You have no right to question me
on this subject, Mr.. Raymer. have
been answering your questions because
your services to me seemed to give you
a right to my confidence, but you seem
to forget that ours is All accidental &C.
quaintance; that I am all involuntary
guest and entitled to prospect and protec-
tion."
II forget nothing, Teresa" said the
lieutenant, for the second time address
ing the young lady by her Christian
name. II remember everything, from
the moment I first saw you i'll Santa Fe
until now. I have endeavored to take
no advantage of your situation, con-
stantly repressing the many things that
spring to my lips while in your pres
ence, but feel, as the time approaches
for you to leave, that I shall do myself
a wrong if I do not speak,
A noise of trampling hoofs and the
sound of voices interrupted the conver-
sation. A loud knock shook the door.
The bushes which had begun to mantle
the face of the girl at the words Of her
host were arrested and fed away as the
tones of familiar voices fell upon her
ears. Raymer went to the door and
opened it. The sergeant Of the guard
stood there.
II come to report to the commanding
officer" said he, that Padre Gutierrez
and a stranger have just arrived from
Jemez and are inquiring for the young
lady"
"Let them come in, sergeant" was
the reply, and out of the darkness and
into the light Of the cabin stepped two
gentlemen. At sight Of the priest Ray
mer extended his hand and greeted him
cordially.
Enter, Padre Milo. 1 am glad to
see you. Come to the fire and remove
your wraps"
Father Gutierrez took the offered
hand, but there was no cordiality in his
grasp His eyes were fastened gravely
