He crossed thereon andpiclSed one of

steady and began 10 read it. There
could be no doIrot as to what il was. 1t
was fragment,of one of Sylvia's dream
stories written by master hand. he
read the page through, and then picked
up some more at random, and went and
sat down in his armchair by the ashes
of last nights fire, and read page after
page, disconnected as they were, and
yet most evidently parts of one beauti-
full whole.
Then he laid them on the floor be-
side him, and strove TO collect his
thoughts SO that he might read the rid
die, and bitby bit the remembered frag-
ments of his vision came together and
took shape, and then the truth dawned
upon him.
What the Calcutta doctor had said
about the drug was true. Under its in
fluence he had been the exact reverse
of his noraml mental self, and the net
result of his experiment, as far as he
could see, had been the division of his
being into two separate entities, one os
which was still the sober, practical,
commonplace man of affairs, and the
other the dreamer of gorgeous dreams,
the genius lowered with the supreme
gift of literary expression in its highest
form and most perfect tapacity-and
yet for all that an unreality, specter
that came out of the darkness of drug,
induced slumber to work It's wondrous
spells and then vanish back into tho
shadows.
Only too clearly did he see this, for tho
more he read of his own work the more
horribly apparent became the truth
that, not to save his settl alive, could nc

He got up and collected the sheets,
and put them in order, and then read
the story through from beginning to
end. He had learned enough of the
art by reading to see that il was lit
jerary gem, enough even of itself to
found reputation upon, and this was
his work-or at least the work Of that
other self of his which the potent magic
of the drug had called into being.
And if it had done this once why
should it not do it many times? Here
was Sylvia's own story glorified into a
splendid reality and by him! Was NOT

He folded up the sheets and put them

them to the city and gave them to his
confidential clerk to transcribe ON his
typewriter. That evening he paid u
visit to the studio, and asked Sylvia to

ana meanwhile ne, was finishing the
novel for which all the world was wait
ing. What was To happen? Would the
remnant of his manhood and self-con-
troll compel him to save his darling from
himself while yet there was time, OF
would he take her hand irrevocably in
his and lead her for awhile along that
enchanted path, knowing as he did what
the end of the brief journey must be?
What his own answer tn the mex
orable question might have been there
isno telling. neither is there any need
TO guess at il, for the fates themselves
answered it in their own way.
One night he sat down TO write the
last pages of his book. For awhile the
ideas came bright and thronging as
eyer,wedding themselves in harmonious
union of sound and sense with the
words which flowed so easily from his
pen. Then, just on the threshold of
the last scene, his pen stopped. The
splendid vision whose realization was
10 have been the crowning glory of his
work grew dim and blurred and dull
as the night-clouds from which the
glory of the sunset has faded away. He
stared about him, dazed and wondering
like n man suddenly awakened from a
dream. Then he turned back and read
the pages he had just written, and could
not even recognize his own work. He
saw that it was beautiful, but it was
utterly strange TO him. Who had writ
ten 1t, and how did it come there on
his table with the ink scarcely dry on
the paper? He had forgotten.
Then his eye fell upon a few little
greenish-brown lozenges lying at his
elbow. A swift CLEAN of remembrance
shone through the darkness that was
falling on his mind like lightning
fash through sudden night. Behind
him lay the path of his brief, dear.
bought glory. strewn with flowers that
now were witnereu, and before him the
gulf, and beyond that black infinity.
He gathered<up the lozenges and swai-
lowed them all at gulp. Soon the fast
fading fires leapt up into a blaze Of
light, wild, lurid and dazzling. Visions
of chaotic splendor chased each other in
headlong haste through the death
dance of his expiring senses. lie had

q dim consciousness of seizing his pen
and driving it over the paper as though
he were writing for his very life and
more. Then, like the falling of black
pail before his eyes, came darkness
darker than night, and he felt himself
falling, bound and blinded, into inn
measurable depths, through an eternity
compressed into. moments, and mo-
Inents stretched out into eternities.
When Cecil, now cured and hale and
sane, came and found him in the morn
ing, he was dead. The writing table
was strcwn with pages filed with the
most piteous nonsense, and under the
hand which still held his pen was the
last page of all, half covered with an
unintelligible scrawl and ending in
leng. wavering line. which was the most
eloquent of all the lines his pen had
ever traced.

DIR. KiIgO's Sermons.

Rev. John G. Kilgo, D. D., presi.
dent of Trinity College, filled his ap.
pointment to preach In the Methodist
Episcopal churh here last Sunday
morning and night. He had large con.
gregations to hear him on both occa.
sions. DR.. Kilgo fully sustained the
reputation that preceded him. This
was his first visit to Henderson aud
those whose pleasure it was to hear him
were deeply impressed by his ability
and thorough conservation to the duties
ofhis life-work, preaching and teaching.
His sermon in the morning was a
capital one-full of sound logic, strong
common sense, and true Christian
spirit. 1t was lofty in sentiment, ele-
CANT in diction, pleasing in delivery
without any straining after effect. 1t
abounded with touching passages, apt
illustrations and homely phraseology
The speaker was easy and natural in
manner (barring slight indisposition,
which feeling had to be overcome before
he was fully himselO aud his discourse
was listened to with rapt attention
during the hour and five minutes it &C.
cupied.
DR.. Kilgo ridiculed class of Christ
ians that we will designate as super
sanctimonious. He was speaking of
those who had entered the "third
Heaven'-got away from the things of
this world as Paul did, when he was
given a thorn in the flesh to make him
know where he was and what he was
when he said he would go further to sec
a man who paid his honest debts than
he would to see one who had been to
the third Heaven; he would go further
to see woman who kept her mouth
shut when She ought to than to see one
who had been to forty Heayeus.
At night DR.. Kilgo's sermon was con-
sidered by those who heard both to be
even better than the one he preached
in the morning. He made an educa-
tional talk and it is needless to say
Gated greater enthusiasm on the sub
ject and awakened deeper interest in
behalf Of the admirable institution of
which he is the head.
Rev. w. G. Tyree, of Durham, &C.

made many friends among our people

convenient to visit the town in future

Fraternity.

We spoke recently ofthe Henderson
church as an inspiring exam pie of gen.
erosity. There is another feeling which
appears prominently i'll the life of this
church of which we would speak; and
that is the feeling Of unity and frater-
nifty. The members feel their brother
hood. This is shown in various ways.
We see it in their attitude toward all
the general interests of the church, and
particularly in relation to this paper.
Their subscriptions do not come stray
Cling in one at time, but they come
nearly all together. Pastor johnson
recently sent US a check for sixteen
dollars, advance payments on subscrip-
ton accounts.
Let all our churches cultivate this
feeling of fraternity, and indiv idual life
will be thereby enriched, and church
life will become more attractive and
more powerful in its influence for good.
A church can scarcely be a church
without this feeling of brotherhood, but
this is fraternity in which there are
many degrees, and all should strive to
attain to the highest order.-Ou Church
