n.nth of,h. Au,hor OF "Amtricn.o

Rev. DR.. Samuel Francis Smith. the au-
thor OF America, died suddenly Of heart
disease at the Emergency hospital in Bos-
ton last Saturday afternoon. He was
taken in at the New York and New Eng
land railroad station when on his way to
Hyde Park where he was to preach sun
day. DR.. Smith was born in Boston, Oct.
p, 1SOS, and graduated from Harvard col
lege in 1S29, in the same class with Oliver
Wendell Holmes. after which he attended
AndOver Theological seminary, graduating
there in 1882. 1t was while a student at
Andoyer that he wrote the poem Amer
ica,' which made him famous. For years
the people were content to sing My Coun-
try, lis Of Thee" without thinking much
about its origin. Probably they would
never have thought very particularly about
it had not Oliver Wendell Holmes dragged
his classmate into publicity and given him
a prominence which he would never have
sought for himself. About the same time
that he wrote America" DR.. Smith also
wrote the well-kuown missionary hymn,
The Morning Light is Breaking" with
number Of other poems, besides finding
time to learn four foreign languages He
became a Baptist minister and had several
successful pastorates.
DR.. Smiths own account Of the writing
Of "America" was told by him on the occa-
sion Of the public testimonial given to him
in Boston Music hall last April. He found
the melody among lot Of music used in
the German public schools, which some
one had brought to this country.

A Brahmin travelling recently between
Chittur and Nemars, in the country back

for the Night at a house where he was re-
ceyed by two Nair women. To the elder
he gave 1000 rupees for safe keeping This

his money. She refused, but when the
elder wOman's husband arrived he fell in
with her plan. The guest, sleeping on the
yeranda, was warned in time of his danger
by the younger sister. and hidden by her
in an Clubhouse. About midnight broth
er Of the two women returned from Jour
ney and seeing the house shut, lay down to
sleep on the mat which the Brahmin had
left. Soon after the murderers stole upon
the sleeper and killed him with one blow
with a rice FOUNDER, buried the body with

all traces of The crime. In the morning
the Brahmin was let out by his rescuer,
and walked into the house 10 ask for his
money. The assassins were terrified out
of their wits and gave it back to him, where
upon he went 10 the police and informed
them of the intention 10 murder him. By
this time the brother had been missed, but
after a search the body was found and the
guilty couple arrested. The Brahmin was
so impressed by the danger he had escaped

came along an enormous boat, with piano
polish all over it-long, wide, low, with a
great cabin in the middle, and a roof over
each end. In front was the gong, that
sounded like the crack of doom, and some
sailors lounging near ii. In the middle,
behind plate-glass framed with carved and
gilded arbesquerie, was his excellency a
governor, mustachioed, with many women.
They were his wife, his mother, his num-
ber-twO wife, and their maids; the ladies
in their best-exquisite as to their bejew-
elled hair, their compilations of thick white
powder, and their silks and satins. Next
came the kitchen-shed, with a cook and a
woman among the pots and pans, while
over the stern and far away loated a big
red banner hung on a sort of fishing-rod.

A New Bismarck story.

1t is told in a Swedish paper by the old
lady who figured in it. Fifty-six years ago,
as young woman, she was sent to Rome
with her governess, and was directed to
stop on the way at Berlin where she had a
German cousin, student whom she had
never seen. He met her at the station and
greeted her affectionately: he was tall,
with heavy moustache and peculiarly
sparkling eyes, and for three days they
did the town thoroughly, visiting all the
sights and having a good time. He could
speak no Swedish and she no German, so
they talked French, which he spoke very
well. A she was about to 90 away he said
my dear cousin, see here. | must tell
you that am not your cousin. My friend,
your German cousin, the real one, is busy
preparing for his examination, and asked
me to take his place and fulfil your faith
er's wishes. Ny name is Otto Won Bis
marck." That was the end of the adven-
tuTe. Many years after when she was an
old, married woman and Prince Bismarck
was chancellor, she again visited Berlin,
and sent him her card with few words
written on it. Bismarck at once invited
her to the palace, where they talked over
old times, and the Chancellor thanked her
for enabling him to visit the Berlin mu-
seums, which he never had chance to see
afterwards.

Mohammedans in JerusnIsm.

About one-sixth of the inhabitants Of
Jerusalem are followers of Mohammed
They believe in the prophets of the Old Tes-
lament, in the Christ of the New Tesla
ment, and in their own Prophet, whom
they consider, of course, the greatest of
them all. Their chief sanctuary here
is the Dome of the Rock, commonly known
to travellers as the Mosque of Omar, stand
ing on the site of Solomon's Temple. The
enclosed space on Mount Moriah is called
by the Moslems the Haram, or sacred place,
and in their minds it is peculiarly associ-
ated with Mohammed himself, for the
dome, the most prominent of its many
buildings, covers that mass of Jerusalem
limestone which to Jew, Gentle and Mos
lem alike is the most interesting rock in
the world. Upon this rock, according TO
very ancient tradition, Abraham wor-
SHIPPED and was ready to offer up Isaac as
a sacrifice. Upon it David erected an altar.
Upon 1t Elijah and the Messiah prayed I;
and from ii, once, Mohammed assembled up
into Heaven, II is said TO hang suspended
in the air seven feet above the ground; and
the present Turkish custodans affirm, in
the most solemn tones, that its visible sup
ports of masonry are merely placed there
in order TO support it in event Of the re-
moval OF the miraculous power which sup
ports it now.
In cavern at its base Mohammed is
said TO have rested, after making his super
human and super-equine journey from
Mecca to Jerusalem in a single night; and
thence, on a celestial steed furnished
by the Archangel Michael, he is believed
to have passed through still visible hole
in the rock to the upper world; the rock
following him until it was stopped in its
flight by the angel, and left, as we now see
it, floating in the air Under this rock, it
is said, still rests the ark of the covenant.

Thanksgiving.

In what perjury. what hardship what
sense of exile, what darkness of bereave-
ment, what dependence upon the Divine
hand and gratitude for its bounty, were
the earliest Thanksgiving kept, The
story of the Plymouth colony can never be
too often recalled by the Americans. For
uncomplaiinDg fortitude. for sturdy endu-
rance, for strength that knew no faltering,
for splendid faith and undaunted heroism.
that story has no equal on the page OF his
tory. Many delicate women died in those
first years, but We never read that they
weakened in courage while they lived.
Theirs was the underlying might OF a pur-
pose which had its root in principles; and
whoever NAV celebrate the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs. women should forever keep green
the memory OF the heoric Pilgrim Mothers
We like to think Of the groups which
assembled at those Puritan dinner tables
in those far-away days. The harvests
were reaped; the churches and the school
houses were built; the children were
brought up in the fear Of God. In the
cold Westinghouse on the top OF the near
est hill there had been a long service,
prayers, psalms. sermons, all of a generous
prodigality OF time to which We in our re-
ligious services of to-day are strangers.
Then came the unbending, the lavish din
ner, the frolic of the little ones, the talk
beside the fire, when the parents drew up
on the "reminiscences Of fair England, or
of Holland by the sea.
Many trothplight was spoken in the
twilight Of Thanksgiving day. Youths
and maidens then, as youths and maidens
still, met and fell in love. The beautiful
story which never grows old was told by
the ardent sutton to the blushing girl in
the Puritan home, as il our households yet.
Long was the good mans sermon,
But il seemed not SO TO me.
For he spake Of Ruth the beautiful
Ana then l thought Of thee "
