Ships Lead Brought Up Five Dollar
Gold Piece from the Depths.
When the steamer City of Augusta Of
the Savannah line was just in sight Of
Cape Hatteras recently one of the pas
sengers, an old man with snow-white
hair and beard, walked into the saloon
and approached group of passengers
seated at table. In his hand he held
five dollar gold piece. Stopping be-
fore the group and holding out the coin
he said:
"There is a gold piece that has just.
come from the bottom of the ocean. I
was on deck when they were heaving,
the lead and after the second officer hadl
examined the soap on the end of it to
see what kind of substance it brought
up and had placed it again in the rack
at the side of the rail, out of curiosity I,
too, examined it. Looking ut the end
where the soap is put saw through
the dark gray clay which the lead had
brought up from the bottom something
glisten, and, taking out my knife, dug
into the soft substance and drew forth
this gold piece. 1t was edgeways in
the soap at the end of the lead and in
no other way could it have got there
than by being picked up from the bot
TOM"
AS he held the GOLD piece in his hand
and afterward passed it to the passen-
gers to examine it could be seen that it
was covered with soap and was dull in
appearance. The water where it is as
serted the coin was taken was about
one hundred and fifty feet deep. All
of the passengers soon heard of the find.
Many doubted the story of the white
haired passenger, but he firmly ad!
hered to the original story that the gold
piece came from the bottom of the
ocean and was brought up by the lead
of the City of Augusta. Capt. Fl. c.
Daggett, the commander of the ship,
shook his head when he heard the story.
That night at dinner he told the pas
sengers that he had decided to give up
his command and go fishing for gold
pieces off Cape Hatteras instead.

4 Had her caller been one Of the wis
women" she might then have found hel
opportunity. Instead, being somewhat
in awe of Miss Merrill, she went her
way, and the mistress turned back,
through the wide doors, across the
broad hall and the long, sunny sitting
room into the small conservatory where
the fresh green of leaves and the bril-.
liant blossoms spoke Of love and tend
ance- All around its upper border
lay the thick, green leaves Of beau
tiful ivy, and, as Miss Isabel from her
high step unloosed the many loops that
held the swaying vine in place, her
thoughts went back over its history.
1t was ten years since the judge, her
courtly, beloved father, had brought
her the green slip from city florist
1t was just after the death of her
mother. and he had said they would
part the slip, and during the summer
time one should grow on the grave Of
their beloved.
That was we'll! Was not all her
life thenceforth linked with death?
Her brave, strong young brother had
helped her with the slips; and told
them then Of his purpose to devote his
life to the lost ones of Africa. Her ia
Their, who loved God better than self,
gave him up; but she, never. And
when, after two years of work, the
fever of the country made him its VIC
tim, it seemed but second burial.
But life had still been full and rich
while her father was part of IL. The
beautiful home had its mission Of cheer
while he was at its head. 1t was when
he went, n year ago, that Miss Isabel
seemed TO draw the shades over every
grace and hope of life. She dropped
out from its interests and seemed to
have no heart for either the joys or
sorrows of others. The home was still
sunny and bright, but it was sadly still.
II wish something would rouse Miss
Isabel" Martha would say to David
when, the work Of the day done, they
rested in the large kitchen. "A wom-
ans good for nothing unless some
things pulling ut her heart strings.
Miss Isabel wants a husband, or some
child, or some fellow feeling for some
body. If it's sick)y, all the better. A
sick cats better than nothing for
lone woman"
And David, well assured of his wife's
wisdom. nodded sleepy assent.
The Easter morning came full of
glorious sunshine. Miss Isabel sat
down by her window, Bible in hand, to
read her morning lesson, of that Other
morning in a far Judean land, when
the stone was rolled away from the
door and the angel came to the waiting
women with his wonderful promise.
"But he comes not to me-" whispered

Easter Eggs.

1t is said that eggs, rabbits and lilies
rule at Easter. These three emblems
of the season certainly furnish great
amount of merriment and gladness, as
the festivities of the occasion depend
largely on full supply of them. The
practice of using eggs is traced back to
the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, as
well as to the Romans and Gauls, who
taught their people to look upon the
egg as symbol of divinity. The gift
giving of eggs at Easter is an old Gus
tom derived from the Persians, who
exchanged eggs at their New Years
feasts-that is, at the beginning of
their agricultural year-in token of
renewal of vernal life. The Jewish
people used the egg in the feast of the
passover, and even the ancient Druids
performed their religious rites with
ceremonies of egg symbols. In Italy
eggs are carried to church and blessed,
after which they are used on the table
with floral decorations. Visitors are
invited to partake Of Easter eggs as
special act of courtesy.-Detroit Free

the heart of the lonely woman, "for
my dead hopes there is no resurrec-
ton"
When the church bell rang out its
sounding summons she obeyed its call
and sought the familiar pew.
''Holy, holy, holy" sang the choir
with an earnestness that bore many OF
the worshipers into sacred presence.
"'T;s the day of resurrection" fol-
lowed the clear voice of the soloist. and
the tall lilies bent their heads, and the
green palms swayed gently in the soft
breezes that floated in. But to all
notes of Joy or promise Miss IsabePs
aching heart had but one answer:
There is no Easter awakening in my
life. All its joy lies in the past and
there is neither hope nor need of me
more"
She gave but little heed to the sermon
of her old pastor; there was too much
ring Of gladness to suit her mood. The
hymn that followed was unnoticed at
first, but the last verse, in the clear
bird-notes of the soprano, every word
distinct. arrested her attention:
To-day the angels are standing still
Beside the open graves,
The darksome gloom with their light they
hll,
As they speak OF the Lord who saves
Christ conquered death In that bitter strife
He will bring us into eternal life"
Something dimmed the sad eyes sud-
denly. Had He then so loved her? and
what had she done for Himp
Dear Lord" spoke the pastors voice,
full Of tender longing. ''if there is any
soul here unwilling that Thou shouldst
roll away the stone from the door,
wilt Thou have pity and show that
soul Thyself? II there is any heart
here that has buried all its good or all
it's worth to humanity under any stone
Of self, wilt Thou in tender mercy roll
the stone away, and bid the dead come
forth to living work, and to God?"
And that word was for Isabel Mer-
rill. Alone in her own room, she gave
the afternoon to look at her stone.
From her sealed heart she drew out its
self-pity, its neglect of others, and held
them up in the light She saw how
many talents had been committed to
her, and that she had buried them un-
der her selfshness- Deep humility took
possession of her that grew ut last into

might become her awakening.
That evening the glad praise servics
scanned all for her. After II she walked
homeward with the caller of the day
before.

were going TO the poorhouse?" she
asked ut parting.

with some, yes.'
martha, l am going to adopt two
children"
THE Lord be praised, ma'am. A
body with big house, and money in
the bank, and lonesome heart, is to
be pitied."
Another Easter day comes around to
the pleasant home on the hill, but Miss
Isabel finds brief time for her morning
study. The children, who have been
hers now for nearly year, require at
tention. Little Alice, who has the
voice of bird, is to sing at the even
ing concert, and Eddie is to speak, and
Miss Isabel is as proud and anxious as
any mother in the land.
But they are not all. In the SUNNY
bedroom off the sitting-room, a sweet
faced old lady lies among her pillows,
and, almost helpless from rheumatism
as she is, everyone in the house comes
to her for comfort and advice. She has
outlived all near relatives, and there
had been for her only an Old Ladies'
home in strange city when Miss Isa-
bel took her in" And in the kitchen
an old man feebly totters about, or
waits in restful quiet by the window.
IT is distant cousin of David who
has no one to care for his infirmities.
"A giving spirit is dreadful grow
ing thing" Martha says. IF you once
let it in, it's like yeast a-spreading and
spreading until the whole batch is full
of it."
Miss lsabel's reward is already great:
For there is no debtor in the world SO
honorable, so superbly honorable, as
love."-Howe Genning, in Chicago Ad-
vance.

pleasant places, the caller said, softly,
taking in all the promise of the sweet
spring day and longing to speak COM

A small boy came up the white walk

Miss Merrill note. She looked up
from it's reading with shadow Of a
frown.
