LIFE FULL OF FRAGMENTS.

Life here is short even at the longest. We
cannot finish in threescore and ten years
the great things we dream of in our best
moods. Then, only comparatively a few
lives reach this full limit Of age. It is but
little that we can do in our short, broken
years. We begin things and we are inter-
rupted in the midst OF them. Before they
are half finished we are called away to some
thing else, or laid aside by illness, or our
life ends, and the work remains incomplete.
1t is pathetic, when a busy man has been
called away suddenly, to 60 into his office,
his study, or his place of work, and see the
unfinished things he has left the letter half
written. the book half read, the column OF
figures half added up. the picture begun but
not completed. Life is full of fragments,
the mere beginning of things. II there were
nothing beyond death, little would come Of
this poor fragmentary living and doing.
But when we know that life will 60 on with
out serious break through endless years, 1t
puts new meaning into every noble and
worthy beginning. Every right and good
thing. however small it may seem, shall live
forever.-J. R. Miller, D. D., in Things
to Live For"

Valentine DAYTON was married to

Valentine Dayton was married to
Ellen Condit and took his wife on board
his ship. Lieutenant Hedges said he
would like to 60 to New York, and felt
quite strong enough, If only Untilla
would come along to help care for him,
and she consented.
Lady Pa!iton feared that her sons
affections were engaged, but when she
came to know Lea Hedges, her fear be-
came a delight, and kissing her. after
Ralph had told Of his engagement, she
saiI:
Il have found a son and daughter.
I am blessed.
Ralph Denham took his wife and
mother on board the Wanderer, and he
insisted that his adopted father and
mother should come too. He also pre-
vailed on DR.. Hedges and wife to be
Of the party; and he brought along Don
and Otheilo to wait oh them.
In New York Bay Ralph, to continue
the name by which We know him best,
met with q royal reception. The ships
in the harbor were dressed with flags,
all the guns in the battery at the south
ern end OF Manhattan Island thun-
dered out welcome.
When the story of his romantic life
became known, the people forgot the
brilliant exploits of the past, and the
older members Of society recalled the
fate of the Governor of Bermuda and
the loss of his son.
Doctor Hedges was still humbled,
though the father-in-law Of a rich lord;
but Squire Condit took the whole mat
ter for granted, and went on calling
Do11 ID hah win in thpt
sturdy, manly way that always distln-
guished him.
Ralph gave his share Of the prize
money to the men, and soon after that
there were more marriages in Sag Har-
bor than ever took place in the same
period before or since.
At Lady Paliton' 's-the mother's-
suggestion, the Wanderer was pur-
chased to convey her son and daughter
to England, though subsequently the
beautiful ship made voyage to Ameri-
ca every year, when Ralph, his wife and
increasing family came to see their old
dear friends.
Don, the cabin boy, went to England
with the captain. and his mother COM
ing to see him, they both remained all
their lives in the service OF generous
Lord Paliton.
Othello went into the service OF
Squire Condit, and though he showed a
strong disposition to marry, Dinah
would not permit it while she lived.
But he was only forced to live single
for a year, at the end of which time the
old woman died and was buried among
the Montauks.
Uncas never recovered from his hu-
initiation. He took 70 drink and was
soon gathered to his fathers.
Untilla still ruled the tribe. She took
a great interest in Mr.. Hedges, and
after a year became his wife. The
Wanderer came back from England at
the time, and on her return Captain
Hedgse andIhis beautiful wife were on
board. the guests Of Lord and Lady
Paliton.
And thus it came about that pest OF
the ocean, wolf in sleeps clothing,
was destroyed by the very devices he
had set for the ruin of others.
And thus it came to pass, the noble

birth; and so proving that worth makes

once climbed the long flight Of steps to
q lighthouse. expected to find monster
lamp in the tower, but was shown small
ones. not larger than our parlor lamp. If
one were set in the window, it would not

light twenty miles out upon Lake Michigan,
and thus protected many precious human
lives from being dashed upon the treacher-
Gus rocks. That visit taught me lesson.
How often are Christians content to remain
like those small lamps, casting such feeble
rays! If we are indeed "the light Of the
world" we must put our spiritual lamps
under the magnifyipg power OF the Holy
Spirit. Then we shall be beacon lights to
guide those who are upon the ocean Of life
and amid temptations hard to be conquered.
Those lighthouse lamps must be kept clean
and bright. So must our spiritual lamps be
polished by holy prayer and holy living

POPULAR SCIENCE.

Each salmon produces about TO-
600, 900 eggs.
1t is said that the Greenland whale
sometimes attains the age OF 40O
years.
The horse, when browsing, is guild
ed entirely by the nostrils in the
choice of proper food, and blind horses
are never known to make mistakes IN
their diet.
The cries of sea birds, especially sea
gulls, are very valuable as fog signals.
The birds cluster on the cliffs and
coast, and their cries warn boatmeD
that they are near the land.
Plants that grow near the sea have
thicker leaves than those growing in
land. Appar emily the sea salt IS the
cause of this phenomenon, as plants
cultivated in artifcially salted soil
yield thicker leaves.
For use as fire extinguisher and
alarm quick fuse runs around the
room and ends-in the bottom of
water tank, where quantity of explo'
sives are stored, the explosion giving
the alarm and breaking the tank so
the water flows out.
Statistics of lie insurance COM
panies show that in the last twenty
five years the average woman's life has
increased from about forty.two to
fifty-six years, or more than eight per
cent. In the same period mans life
on the average has increased in length
five per cent.
1t has been pointed out by natur-
alist that the irregular shapes of trees,
their "anyhowness, if We may use the
word, fulfils mostimportant purpose.
When gale is blowing the branches
will be seen to sway in all directions,
and their movements tend to balance

The rapid rise of the land about
Hudson Bay is said to be the most re-
markable gradual upheaval OF an ex-
tensive region ever known. Drlftwood'
covered beaches are now twenty or
sixty or seventy feet above the water,
new islands have appeared, and many
channels and all the old hartors have
become too shallow for ships. At the
present rate this shallow hay will dis
appear in a few centuries, adding
vast area of dry land or salt marsh to
British territory in America.

enable us so to use thy gift of freedom that
it shall prepare US for the eternal life OF

grant us that our faith fail not.
When When we we are in peril from the lusts
that war against the soul, be
thou our guard. For thine own pity
and for the love of those who need US and
who suffer when we fall. preserve us in the
hour of weakness. For the love wherewith
Christ loved us, grant us the fellowship OF
His spirit when we are tried in the likeness
of His temptations. And Thou. who hast
helped US to the victory Of faith shall re-
ceive our grateful service evermore through
Christ. who for our redemption astempteo

RELIGIOUS READING,

The Lord Of Us all takes in His hand
The leaden hammer called Anguish,
And beats on the hearts
Of His people
To try them, if they be strong
In His hope, in His peace, in His love.
And to each one He speaks
II they listen
II am with thee, so be
Not discouraged;
Only those whom love
Do chasten and when
Thy small. painful years shall have ended,
And thou seest before thee
The glorious light,
The plan and purpose Of life,
Then shalt thou see that
The leaden hammer called Anguish
Is My infinite Question,
Which is put to the souls Of men;
And II ye answer Ny children.
With unmurmuring, loving submission,
Then will lead you each
Home by the hand,
Into ineffable JOY"

CHAPTER xxx.
LORD AND LADY PALITON.

LORD AND LADY PALITON
Captain Denham's first duty, after he
got clear Of the delighted crowds that
beset him, was to dispatch a we'll
mounted rider to New York with the
news Of his success. This rider was the
man Fox had 30 arbitrarily arrested and
imprisoned on board the Wanderer,
where the Sea Hawk men found him.
It may be said that in the meantime
Squire Condt had captured Thrashcr,
and held him to await the action Of the
authorities, who subsequently punished
him with the pirates, many OF whom
were hanged in New York harbor.
Lieutenant Hedges was Tried ashore
and in the same boat came Don from
the Wanderer and Othei'o from the Sea
Hawk, and when the part the youths
had played in the struggle became
known they were lionized and made
much of in way that would have
turned ordinary heads.
The wounded Montauks, at Dr..
Hedges urgent request, were taken to
his house. II may be that his brother,
the lieutenant, suggested this, for, being
close to the wounded warriors, he would
be sure to see a great deal Of Untilla,
and in this he was right.
The wounded men Of the Sea Hawk. in
response to the prayers OF friends, were
sent to their own houses, where all SUBJ
eequently recovered.
But while the ships were coming to
anchor and the people and the sailors
were cheering on ship and shore. diff
ferent scene was taking place in The
main room Of the Kings Arms Inn.
There were assembled Col. Graham,
Lady Paliton, the young provincial Off
Ger who had accompanied her, and old
Dinah, and for part Of the time. Squire
Condit.
They had been some time in consul
tation, and Old Dinah had just finished
her strange story when Graham said,
with a sneer:

A CONTRAST.

In Denmark the police take q drunken
man to the station and place him under the
care of a surgeon. When he recovers they
take him home in cab, and then present
their bill to the person in whose house the
victim had taken his last refresher.
In Turkey drunken man Is bastinadoed
for the first, second and third offence. after
which he is considered "privileged. -" A
privileged drunkard is led home and Is fur
niehed with an account which he must settle
forthwith.
In the United States man may drink M
self to death, and there is no inquisition for
blood; or he may forfeit his liberty and his
wife and children suffer, and ratepayers pay
the cost of his board in prison. The "trade"
escapes, and not a scratch is made on the
back of che license!
