Cities and Morals.

This shifting of the population fl ON
the country to the towns is accom-
panied by profound change in the
habits, thought and mode of life of a
large portion of the population The
wits are sharpened and the moral
sense is dulled by the excitement and
variety of city life. There is fever
ish activity arising from the struggle
OF so many human beings in such
keen competition and such close con-
tact with each other. The crowding
of the population increases with the
value of real estate, and the injury to
health and morals increases in the
same ratio .Styi6Her.

Shores of the Thames Long Ago,

AT one time, now century or more
ago, the Thames was recognized as the
only great London thoroughfare. Its
banks, on either side, were studded
with the stairs" of the nobility; its
waters were covered with every kind
OF craft, from the gilded barge of roy
atty to the nutshell skiff or wherry. In
those days. the river was pure and un-
defled, and those who lived upon it's
banks never hesitated to bathe there
in balmy weather. In those days there
was no spot in London so picturesque
rs the Strand, with its broad gardens,
its shady trees extending to the waters
edge, where the river glideth at its
own sweet WILL" and where the en-
battled turrets Of many a palace, such
as the Savoy, lowered artistically in
the background. Flocks of swans sail
ed TO and fro in spite of the traffic;
they ventured unmolested even below
the bridge, and the sight of them and
their quaint song" must have been
vastly agreeable to the Thames water
men and their fares. Pray, did you
come with oars or scullers?" was an
everyday question.
Citizens spoke Of taking the water"
very much as We now speak of tax
ing an omnibus or cab. The water
mems fares were regulated by the COM
pany's printed scale of charges, the
hall of the Watermen's Company,
where all their business was transact
ed, being then situated at Cold Harbor,
near the Vintry. Some 10000 water
men were upon the rolls OF the COM
pany-those of the Kings Court and
the nobility being, no doubt, included
in this number, and the company was
in a position to furnish the navy with
as many as 10000 men.-Chambers
Journal.

Then she went down to find John.
She was going TO ask him how he liked
her with the glasses. He was sitting
on the veanda as she passed softly
through the hall. How scanned and
lined his face was, as his head rested
against the chair. And the gray above
his brow! She had not believed him
when he had said he was gray. How
old he looked: how tired. 1t was
strange she had never noticed It be-
fore. Poor John!
She was about to speak. when a CLINT
of sun shone through the vines and
rested upon his face.
Suddenly memory took a sudden turn
and again she saw him sitting in front
OF the fireplace, his face upturned to
her as he put a little twist of q ring
upon her finger and said
You will love me always?"
And she had answered yes. She re-
membered her words. Softly she stole
through the hall, few up the stairs 10
her room. She pulled the rings from
her fingers and opened little box of
keepsakes. There II was. She slipped
1t on her finger and went down the
stairs.

sitting down upon the arm OF his chair;
"and how do you like my glasses?'

He was holding her hand and turning
the little ring about with his thumb
and finger.

he said. DO you remember the night

"And do you remember what you

If we are to believe some who heard
1t, the greatest speech Abraham Lin
coin ever delivered was one that never
was reported. 1t was his speech be-
fore the Illinois convention May 20,
1856. Man after man spoke before that
convention, and finally th0re was a
call for Abraham Lincoln. 1t was he
who, in the fiery crucible of his e1o-
quence, nodded and fused the various
elements of that convention into pure
Republicanlsm. Such was the intense
emotion caused by Lincoln's speech
that even the reporters there forgot
to take notes, and there Is no report
of it left, except in the memory of
those who heard it. Joseph Medill, the
veteran editor of the Chicago Tribune,
had attended the convention to report
ii for the paper with which even then,
forty years ago, he was connected. But
Medill himself says that after he had
written a few paragraphs he became
80 absorbed in Lincoln's magnetic
oratory that forgot myself ana ceas-
ed to take notes" William Herndon.
Lincoln's law partner, was in the habii
of taking careful notes of his speeches
but he also says: "At the end OF a few
minutes | threw away my pen and
lived only in the inspiration of the
hour" The only attempt at report l.
that made by a young lawyer, II. c.
Whitney, who was a friend OF Lin
coins. and even this is merely a frag-
ment And 1t was in that convention
in 1856, when the Republican party
was born. that Lincoln uttered the ia
nous remark: "We will not go out oi
the Union, and you shall not. largo

The Worlds Gold Fields.
A Transvaal Vein Said 10 be 1.20O
Miles Long.

1t is claimed that the largest gold
deposits in the world are in the Trans
vaal Republic. Within fifteen miles
OF Johannesburg, on what is called the
main reef series, there is an amount
of gold practically in sight estimated
to be worth S., 900, 900, or nearly
as much as the entire volume of gold
coin now in the world. 1t is reported
on good authority that the gold de-
posts instead of being thirty miles
long-the region in Sights practic
ally 1900 miles long. except that in
the rest Of the region later deposits
have come in over the gold.
A representative of the United
States Geodetic Survey who went to
Alaska to study the geology of the
gold deposits of the Upper Yukon
reports the completion Of his visit.
He is satisfied that the prospect for
profitable quartz gold mining in the
regions examined are good. There is
great lode running northeast and
southwest through the entire country,
similar to the mother lode of California.
The Professor Of chemistry at sgd
ney university has made an exhaustive
series ofexperiments, finding evidence
OF the presence of gold in the sea
water in New South Wales existing in
the proportion of one-half to one grain
per ton, or, in round numbers, from
$50 to 600 tons per cubic mile.

Not Like Other Books.

When we take the New Testament
IN hand at any hour-but most fitting
ly in the dewy freshness Of the morn
ing, ere worldly cares have come in tc
distract our thoughts, or in the even.
ing twilight, when the labor of the
dayis done--and open it at the Gospels
or the Acts, the Epistles or the Revela
tlon, 1t does not seem like ANYTHING
else. 1t is not like other books. In
deed we cannot think of it as a human
composition, as mere literature, or
history, or philosophy. 1t is more
like a living personality. Not un-
frequently in our spiritual experience
we are in kind of trance, with senses
dead to outward objects, whild wond-
rous inspirations drop down from
above.
AT times it seems as If we heard a
voice, a loving, gentle voice, and yet
that speaks in tone of authority (:
that comes from an infinite distance.
and yet comes so near that it pene-
trates the very soul that enters into
our sense of guilt with its forebodings,
and yet whispers of pardon and peace,
until the trembling heart vibrates
with JOY that is not of this world.
What is it in the Bible that gives it
this mysterious power3 1t is not mere
poetry or eloquence, however much
they may overflow in the psalms and
the prophets. 1t is not genius; it is
divinity. 1t is God speaking to men,
and therefore speaking in the language
OF men-with human voice, though
with divine love and tenderness.

A Letter from the Gulf Coast.

To Editor of the HERALD AND NEWS
1t occurred to me this evening, as re-
turned from days outing with the rod
and reel, that possibly Few lines about
the Gull Coast might be OF interest to
some OF your readers.
Nature has been generous to this par
ticular section OF the country. The spread
ing live oaks, the symmetrical and waxy-
leaved magnolia, the dark -leaved and
stately pine, the holly, the cedar and 9TH
er trees with their evergreen foliage, and
the presence OF flowers during the winter
months, rob that season OF its uncomfort-
able features.
The transition OF the seasons is almost
imperceptible, SO gradual are the changes.
Many days during the winter months are
as perfect as June days In Vermont. The
winter temperature OF the Coast averages
So degrees.
Boating, hunting, fishing and yachting
are among the popular pastimes which
are enjoyed by visitors as well as resident
citizens OF the Coast. They have what is
called here the SCREEN trout" which is
the same as our black bass, the red fish,
the speckled trout, and the celebrated tar
pom, the gamest fish in the Mexican Gulf,
specimens OF which have been caught in
the waters OF the Sound six feet in length.
For game can be found the wild turkey,
quail, grouse, snipe and myriads OF wild
ducks.
This section OF the country is also one
OF great historical interest. Here came
the early explorers and missionaries; here
some OF the first forts were built, and
from my open window can be seen Ship
Island, were SO many OF our northern SOL
diers were banished during the war. A
portion OF this island is now used as
quarantine station.
| wish had the power to give an idea
Of the view from Ship Island. The Won
derful cloud-en- cts, the white surf, the
grouping OF the ships, and in the near Wis
Ia, the porpoises, the seabirds and now
and then the silver CLEAN Of the Tarpon,
whose scales seem newly FURNISHED in the
morning sun.
Most OF the coast towns are situated on
peninsulas with an undulating surface
from twenty to thirty feet above tide
water. Along the Sound are immense
oyster banks, varying in width from half
q mile to two miles. AT Biloxi there are
about 200 people employed in canning
oysters.
1t is a great wonder to me that more OF
our New England people do not go to a
milder climate for little while in the
midst OF our winter.
There are other advantages to be gained
besides change OF climate. The traveller
comprehends the fact, il he be observant,
that the world Is larger than his own COM
munity or commonwealth. 1t opens to
him the beauties and grandeur OF nature,
reveals the wonder. working OF human
skill and communicates knowledge that
can never be found in books.

A Vermont Mans Visit.

Mr.. John A. Boswell OF Randolph, YER
mont, who made trip across the CONT
nent to Tacoma, Washington, to turn
over to the authorities in that town Wong
Young Dark, Chinese, for deportation,
is wonderfully impressed with Portland.
He passed most Of yesterday rambling
about the metropolis; and, seeing roses
growing in the open air, green grass on
the lawns, and sprinkling carts keeping
the dust down in the streets, he had to
consult an almanac several times to see IL
it were really January instead OF May.
When he left home it was 80 degrees be-
low zero and growing colder every min
ute; but reaching Oregon, he found his
winter clothes good deal OF misfit.
Although a staIwart republican, Mr..
Boswell is deputy under q democratic
United States marshal. Politics in YER
mont do not appear to cut much Of fig
ure in Office holding, and when chance
is offered to give the democrats show,
there are not enough OF them to be found
to fill the places made possible by demo-
cratic administration.
While in Portland, Mr.. Buswell ran
across two old sstownies," George Blod-
gett and Russ Chamberlin, who, in their
