"One should not sleep when there is
great work to do, replied Uncas, as he
sat on the bench. and took the shell
lamp in his hand.
That is most true; but you look as X
you had been out in the storm,
And so I have"
Il did not know that the Montauks

Many Of the Montauks and our
neiphbors. the Shinicooks, are sailors;
but / should not like it. Yet I was up
tonight at the beacon hill looking for
ships"
Looking for ships?" repeated the
Colonel, sitting bolt upright in bed, and
rubbing his eyes.
Looking for the wanderer, said Un-

closed eyes, without seeming to do 80.
But what interest can you have in
the Wanderer?"
Il know her captain, and want to SEQ
him again.
You may never see him again.

and doubling.
The Wanderer is at anchor inside the
point"
who told you that?"
II saw her with my own eyes.
But how could you tell it In the
darkness, that the ship was the Wan

Il couldn't, if the officer, I mean Fox,
had not come ashore"
And you saw Fox tonight" said the
incredulous Graham.
Il did, and spoke with him.
And where Is he now?"
"On the beach, waiting for my re"

And you told him was here2"

What did he say?"
He said that he was going through
our lands to Sag Harbor in the morning,
and that he would see you on the way"
replied the chief, now as cool as the
other was agitated.
And did he show any surprise on
learning that was here?"
II cannot say. Fox looks as If he was
always surprised and determined never
to be surprised again. Like the animal
from which he takes his name, he is
always looking about him, and ready to
attack or run"
He is brave man, and 30 never

A PRAYER.

Lord OF heaven and earth, We bless thee
that heaven and earth are always named to-
gether in tiny Book. In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth; and
Jesus said, Father, Lord of heaven and
earth. Teach us that We belong to one an
other, and we belong to God give US the
Joy Of fellowship deliver US from the idea
Of self-completeness give us to feel that all
thou hast made is one. Thus shall cur lives
be godly: thus shall we live the Christ
life. He seveth others. himself he did
not save. He livetk for men and women
und little children, and he made all the
poor his friends, and sent the rich empty
away as they came. We bless thee for this
Son of Man. God the Son, the Eternal Won
der, the Unspeakable Joy. He promised to
give us rest if we would come to him and he
promised to give US strength wherewith to
come. So all things are Of grace. We bless
thee. therefore, that though we can do moth
ing. we can do oil things through Christ
which strengtheneth US. May we always
await the incoming strength. and thereby
glorify thee, through Christ, our Lord
Amen,

RELIGIOUS READING.
SABBATH DEsECRAT1oN.

As an illustration OF the harm done by
Sabbath desecration. Mr.. Moody told story
of the downfall of Il young man. an Incident
that had come under biz own observation.
One of his friends. he said. had conflden-
tial clerk. who had been trained in his New
England home to regard Sunday as day OF
rest and worship. The employer said one
Saturday that he wished the young man
to come down the next day and help him
straighten out his books. The clerk colored
little. and said that he would be glad to
work until midnight Saturday. and to be
down shortly after midnight on Sunday, but
that he did not wish to work on Sun
day. The employer oyerpersuaded him:
however and in three years the clerk was
defaulter for S120,000. The employer went
across the sea and brought him home, and
sent him to the penitentiary for eight years.
In nv opinion said Mr.. Moody. 1.-The
thief was the better man Of the two He
urged upon the people to make Sunday
holy day and not holiday. and said that
unless the workingmen stood up for day
of rest it would not be long before it would
lie not day of recreation, but day o'
labor for the wcrkingman.

The men. including Old Somonk,

Uncas waved his hand and was about
to pass away, but Fox stopped him by
asking:
when will you return"
Before the sun rises," replied the
chief.
And it Will be safe for me to remain
here?"
"As safe as the child over whom q

PLUCKING CHICKENS.

Plucking fowls may be easily and
quickly accomplished In this way:
As soon as the bird is dead immerse,
it in pail of very hot water, Sthes
water to cover all the feathers. One.
minute is usually long enough to keep.
the fowl under hot water; too long.
soaking is liable to dlscolor the skim
After this hot bath the feathers are sd
loosened that they can almost bA
rubbed off. The bird is then rinsed'
in cold water and wiped with soft
cloth. It should then be put into a.
cotton bag kept for this purpose and
hung in q cool place. When fowls
are not to be used at once, they should
always be loosely rolled in cloth or
paper to keep them from turning
dark. Ducks cannot be managed Ia
this way, as their feathers containsso
much oil that the water does not PEN
citrate them. ~ q "a X q s u; ss;s1Ss &

TEMPERANCE.

IMPORTANT TO DRINKERS.
man who drinks whisky may feel awhile
fr1sky.
And paint the town brilliantly red;
But soon in the gutter with misery utter
He will curse aud wish himself dead.
A man who drinks brandy may feel like a
dandy,
As long as the smells on his breath;
But soon in the tremens, snakes, bogies and
demons
Will chase him and scare him to death.
A man who drinks wine may feel very fine,
And play funny antics and shout;
But for it he'll pay with headaches next day,
And die when he's young, from the gout.
man who drinks gin with pleasure will
grin,
And have what he calls good time;
Till with red nose and dirty old clothes
He, homeless, will beg for dime.
A man who drinks beer feels good for a year,
And thinks 1t don't hurt him bit;
Till, boated and red, he goes to his bed,
Or falls on the street In fit.
But he who drinks water, as every one
oughter,
Enjoys to the utmost his life:
He's happy and healthy, respected and
wealthy,
And loved BY bis children and wife.

MIR. MOODY ON WALKING WITH GOD.

In explaining the Christian life. Mr..
Moody said that it was important that Gods
will should be known. For this purpose the
Bible was given, ard if person studied the
Bible diligently he would know the will OF
God. The reason that there is trouble and
sorrow among Christians Is due chiefly to
their ignorance OF the Bible. II man is
going to California, he said, he
will study the railway guide to find
out what train to take. the cities
through which he will pass etc. Christians
should he as wise in their journey to the
better land. Until man was a believer in
Christ he could not walk with God. The
child must be born before he can walk. The
Christian must walk with God. not contrary
to His will. Mr.. Moody said that he was
often asked to write in birthday books and
autograph albums, and he usually wrote
Psalm Xxxiv. II mo good thing will he
withhold from them that wGlk uprigbtly.

TO ROAST BEEF.

Put the joint in big dripping pan.
Rub the sides of the roast well with
salt. Sprinkle the top of it with salt
and pepper and place it in q hot oven,
the ribs next to the pan and blanket
side up. Do not put one drop OF water
in the pan.
After the beef is brown baste 1t oc-

Allow quarter of an hours roasting
to each pound of beef in hot oven;
this will make the beef medium rare.
Serve on hot platter and carve with
sharp, long, thin beef carver. 80
There is no mistake about beet

what you are eating every time. The
