vague run,ors current there. and on the
feeling OF unrest manifesting itself by q
decline upon the bourse. by long faces I'm

brewing which will sweep away the whole
dynasty and liberate Islam from the thral-
dom OF the hated Hamdian system. which

The smueglers were in league with
several of the residents in the vicini-
ty, who came to the island at stated
intervals for the goods and distribu-
ted them all over the country.
Their immunity from arrest had
made them bold, and at the ime Of
the explosion there must have been
many thousand pounds worth of
contraband goods on the island.
Regarding Mary's lovers, it APP
pears that there was an understand.
ing between old Skinner and his
lieutenant, Jackson, that the girl
was to become the latter's wife on
her twenty-first birthday. A strong
attachment had meanwhile sprung
up between young Blake and the
girl, an attachment which at length
rlpened into a secret engagement.
By some means unexplained this en-
gagement had reached the ears Of
Jackson. and he determined to be re-
venged on his successful rival. 1t
was the voices of Mary and Jackson
that O'Brien had heard in the cham
Der under the barroom. Jackson
was expostulating with the girl for
what he called her dupicity. She
prevaricated with him in order to
gain time, and after pacifying him to
certain extent went to warn Blake
who was on the island. Jackson
must have suspected her intention,
for soon after his return to the bar,
he induced Skinner to close up the
place, and, together with the rest OF
the band, to accompany him in pur-
suit OF Mary and Blake. The two
latter, who were on the island, saw
the approach of the band, and
rushed to the mouth of the cave to
secure their boat to escape to the
mainland; but when they reached
the beach they found that the boat
had disappeared, the smugglers hav-
ing drawn it back by the cable to
which it was attached before start
ing in pursuit. Being well acquant-
ed with every part of the island,
they managed to hide for some time,
and must have just got down to the
cave again as O'Brien and his COM
panion started on their trip. They
thought the boat somewhat heavy,
but knew it could be occupied by
none OF the smuggler band, for they
were all on the island, with their
boats moored at the second landing
strongly guarded.
You know what happened after
the arrival of O'Brien. may simply
add that there was no more Snug
Cling carried on in this section, that
no trace was ever found OF the buried
smugglers, nor has any OF their
treasure ever been discovered. Mary
and Blake were married soon after
these tragic events, o. Brien acting as
best man. They settled down to
farming not a hundred miles from
the scene OF the old smugglers opera
tons, and for all | know some of
their descendants may be living
there still"
Such was the story told me by the
old fisherman as we sat in our boat
at the mouth of Skinners Cave

THE LOST ROY

One Sunday, Dwight L. Moody,
having hired big circus tent near
the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago, preached there in the morning
to many thousands of saints and
sinners from the text, THE Son of
Man is come to seek and TO save
that which was lost. After he had
finished, little boy with handsome
face and form was brought to the
stage by an officer, who said he had
found him wandering in the crowd,
evidently lost. Mr. Moody took
the little fellow in his arms, and,
standing before the great throng,
asked the people to look at the
lost child.
This boy has a father who is no
doubt at this moment looking for
him with anxious heart said the
preacher. THE father is more anx-
ious to find his boy than the boy is
to be found. 1t is just so with our
Heavenly Father, He is seeking
us to-day: seeking us with unspeak-
able solicltude. Forlong years he has
been following you, o sinner; he is
following you still. He is calling to
you to-day"
At this instant a man with
blanched face and excited eve was
seen Glowing his way toward the
platform. AS he reached it the little
boy saw him, and, running quickly
over the platform, threw himselfinto
his fathers outstretched arms. The
multitude witnessed the scene with
breathless attention, and then broke
into a mighty cheer.
Thus" cried Mr.. Moody, will
God receive you you will only run
to him today. The Son of man is
come to seek and to save that which
was lost"
The impression made by the Incl
dent was very great, and as the peo-
pie filed out, many eyes were filled
with tears. Godprovidentially gave
to the preacher a most vivid and
effective object lesson with which to
illustrate and enforce his message.

IRONY.

What would the world be if the good ceased
striving;
Did no one stand for justice no one say
l am Tor virtue: but the truth betray,
Raising no protest, silently conniving?
Who ever lived true life by such contriving
Who has not longed, after some dreadful
day,
For night to drop its curtain on the play,
With silent. benediction all things striving 7
It's not by irony men live we need
To know who are the mourners, who have
tears
Who would give life for country or for creed,
Not quench his own and others fire in
sneers
All, God from street to street we sometimes
go
As men in masks, and know not friend from
foe.

ANAUCUsT WOOD ROAD.

When the partridge coveys fly
In the birch-tops cool and high;
Wben'the dry cicadas twang
Where the purple fir-cones hang;
When the bunch berries emboss-
scarlet beads-the roadside moss;
Brown with shadows, bright with sun
All day long till day is done
s;ecps in murmuring solitude
The worn old road that threads the wood.
In it's deep cup-grassy, cool
Sleeps the little roadside pool;
Sleeps the butterfly on the weed,
Sleeps the driited thiste-seed.
Like a great and blazing gen.
Basks the beetle on the stem.
Up and down the shining rays
Dancing midges weave their maze.
High among the moveless boughs,
Drunk with day, the night hawks browse.

Tie old road leads to all things good;

THE BAPrIsTs TO MEET.


Portland, July 22.-The May anniYer-
sary of the Baptist denomination in the
northern states will probably be held in
1896 in this city. This result has been
brought about through the efforts of DIR.
Roland d. Grant, pastor of the First
Baptist church of Portland, and 1t means
the coming Ito Portland of 1000 or more
men and women prominently identified
with church work of the Baptist church
in the Northern states.
One possible obstacle Ito THE great meet
ing being held in Portland will be the
question of transportation, and 1t is
now proposed THAT no such obstacle shall
prevent 1T. Transcontinental routes fully
appreciate the Importance of the conveu-
tlon being held in the northwest, and will
doubtless furnish rates to THE delegates
that will insure the carrying out of the
expressed wish, given ait Saratoga in
May last, that the next gathering be held
in Portland The year 1896 wdll be the
bclf century anniversary of operations
on the part of the Baptist Home Mission
Society of the Northwest. During these
so years $25O,0OO, aside from help extended
in the building of churche e1ifices, has
been expended, and every one uttending
the Saratoga meeting was in favor of
commemorating the golden anniversary
in the Northwest, by holding the annual
May meeting in this city. The May an
niversary of the Baptist denomination is
the annual gathering Of the Northern
Baptisbs, representing about 100000 of the
100000 believers in that tadth in the
United States. The convention Is purely

HoRR AND HARVEY.


Chicago, July 22.-"Back dates were
thrown in the dogs todhy in the debate
between Horr and Harvey. 1t was more
and as THE Interest in THE tug of war
heightened 1t was at once seen that the
days of Pericles, as welq ais of 1892, 1878,
and other years, no matter how historic
or important were all barred more or
less in favor of 1896.
Harvey defined scientific bimetallism
not 70 be the free coinage Of both gold
and silver at an assumed ratio-a change
in the size of THE metallic dollar-when
the parity between gold and silver should
require both individuals and the govern
ment ito pay dn a cheaper metal. He
held THAT under these conditions silver
would mot depreciate because there would
be an unlimited demand ait a ratio fixed
by law and no man would sell his bullion
below THE price ait which he could have
it coined.
Horr took the proposition OF Harvey's IS
book THAT df the margin of the dollar is
one half of the present value ut Would
double the value of everything In the
United States except debts. Horr pro-
nounced thls absurd, saying we might
as well say If we cut our yapdsticks In
two 1t would double the amount. OF cloth
In the country. He said Harvey seemed
to be stuck on sweet sixteen to one"
Referring TO cutting the yard stick in
two, Harvey said thiat the gold men had
doubled THE yard stick in 1875 He asked
whether If half THE gold were destroyed
the value of the gold dollar would be
doubled
