"a PRAYER:

Almighty God, we use the Same prayer
and lift up to Thee the same supplication
as thy child OF Cd "Lord, lift thou up
the light OF thy countenance upon us. 2
May we behold that light in all the good
ness and brightness there is in nature and
more especially may we see 1t In alfthe
goodness and truth there Is in'man. May
we see the light of thy countenance when
the sea shines with wondrous brightness,
the light OF thy countenance in the
putting forth Of the beauteous things
Of the earth. in the faces Of those that
love, in the glory Of friendship, in
the splendor of genius. In the rpples
that come over the face Of those that are
stirred by the divine things Of art. But
teach us that the sweetest light of thy, coun-
tenance is that which speaks of love and
pity. Of mercy and truth. When we have
lost thine image then give us light; light
that shall pierce through all the caves and
chambers Of the heart; light that shall reveal
the dark places; light to run the race that is
set before US; light to do thy work., before
the night cometh in which no man can work.
OF thy mercy hear these our supplications,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

TWIN TEACHERS.

Before any man learns much OF spiritual
things he must have his eyes, turned away
from himself When the skies are bright
and all is prosperous, few think. OF what
comes after death ;but when our best be-
loved 20 away, then we feel that we must
know where they have gone One Easter q
man said "Well, ,tall any one Of US can do:is
lust the best we can and hope 81 but q few
days later, when his son, his JOY and his
pride, was stricken down and he was asked,
...What do, you think about the future life,
now 2" he replied, .'I don't know how 1t is
to be realized, but 1t must be-" In other
words, his sorrow told him that the idea OF
a splendid, cultured, loving man being put
In the ground to stay there forever Is too
absurd to believe. We hate our sorrows,
for they hurt tive never like anything that
hurts but the hurt is the way to larger
knowledge and richer blessing. 9 1t is all
for the best" said a man, as his idol was
covered with flowers and laid away. ( You
didn't speak that way once,' said neigh
Dor. ';No," he replied, "but 4 have been
disciplined since then" Discipline let's In
the light. Love Eliminates, and 80 does

one is, the other always quickly comes.

LovE'w1TH LAx1TY.

Very many people are greatly confused as
to the true nature of love. 1t Is not in their
mind nearly 80 fine and noble a thing as 1t
Is in the mind of God. It lacks robustness
and yigor. II cannot correct or admontsh.
1t tmust express itself In endearments and
caresses. It Is too soft, sensitive and senti
mental to hold the reins OF government. 1t
does not issue commands, 1t p0urs forth en-.
treaties. Indulgence, lenience, gentleness,
mercy, are component parts Of all virtue,
but there must be no sterness, no authority
This emasculared notion Of love which,
strips it Of all manliness and brings
it ,perilously near the point Of con-
tempt in the eyes Of those who have
any strength and stamina, has done great
harm. Just as faith and hope are in con-.
slant danger of being degraded into fanati-
cism and hallueination, so the danger OF.
Slore'in laxity. Parents imagine that II they,
love their children they must give them
loose reins and crafty all their whims,
which is only another way Of consenting to
their, ruin. And multitudes fancy that
since God Is love, nothing very severe or
painful will be done to those who willfully
and habituslly disregard His laws. 1t seems
hard for suchtto understand that genuine
love Is always guided by intelligence, and
In no way prevents q ruler FROM taking;
whatever measures are for the best interests
of bis subjects Love is the opposite OF sell
(, ,ishness. And 1t is selfshness, not love,
which prompts one in authority to consult
his own ease, or the gratif fcation OF his
good-natured, thoughtless impulses, rather
than to take the pains necessary for the real
welfare OF those committed to his charge.
Happy the time when love is law and light
is leader In all hearts! But until that day
love must not remit its vigilance, or relax its
control, or resign Its yfrility. ,,5 ~

MAcEo,s MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
The spaniards Alleged to Have Dealt

The Spaniards Alleged to Have Dealt
Treacherously With Him.
3 An extraordinary story has been received
in New York through Cuban sources that
General Antonio Maceo, the leader Of the
insurgent forces, was poisoned by one Of his
followers who was In league with the Span
ish leaders. It Is said, that an attack was
made by Spanish troops for the purpose Of
concealing the real method OF the Cuban
leaders death. One reason for not produc-
ing the body, it Is said, Is because post
morteIn examination would reveal the
loison. t5Sn y, =
The agent of the Junta in Jacksonville,
Fla, received letter from Cuba which
threw another light on the story. His ad-
vices were that the insurgent chieftain was
on December z decoyed into ambush un der
the pretext that Marquis de Ahumada, the
acting Captain-General, desired to hold q
conference with him, and then killed In cold
blood. All his staff, except the surgeon,
DR.. Maxine Zertucha, were slain. The
Junta thinks 1t strange that the doctor
should have received immunity when he had
been fighting in Pinarl del Rio, where Gen.
eral WeyIer proclaimed amnesty at an end.
The Oubans In New York City received the
final confirmation Of the news Of General
Maseo's death with tears and 'imprecadons.
