PORTO RICAN NATIVES.
hey Are Hnrdwor1>ing and Have II
Charming Personality.


The personality of the Porto Rican is
very charming one. Generations Of
i'll treatment have developed IN him
patient resignation which has about it
nothing of cowardice. Even now, with
liberty within grasp, nothing is heard
of recrimination and none will be prac-
ticed. The same hospitality will be
offered to the Spaniard as to other ma
tions, and that hospitality is proverbial.
The social life of the cities is identi-
cal with that of almost all other tropical
Spanish American countries. The mass,
in the cool Of the morning, at which it
is to be feared religious thoughts are
not the only ones which fill the heads
of the youths of both sexes; the retreat
after shutdown where slim wasted,
dainty senoritas glide up and down the
plaza to the sound of fine military
band; shopping by gaslight, which de-
velops into series Of skirmishes be-
tween buyer and assistant, dear to the
heart Of the fair sex, and an occasional
ball at the captain generals palace,
where costumes may be seen which have
the undeniable stamp of Rue de Ia Paix,
and faces which have beauty that is
at once touching and enchanting.
Small features, large black, lustrous
eyes and perfect oval outlines make the
criolla distinct improvement on the
sensual faced Spanish woman, and she
is of more refined instincts and gentler
disposition. As mothers they are unex-
celled and literally sacrifice themselves
for the welfare of their children. The
capital, San Juan, being the seat of
government, is of course the social
center, while Ponce is commercially OF
more Importance and is on more modern
construction and advanced ideas.
A visit to the rural districts intro
duces us to a class Of peasantry ground
down by unjust taxation. Living in
hut constructed of palm branches,
matched with palm leaves, his clothing
a cotton duck suit from the New Eng
land looms and surrounded by a numer-
Gus family, usually in state of nature,
he passes his day working in his patch
of corn or sugar cane and his evenings
dancing the native ianzas to the sound
of the guiro and tipple. He can neither
read nor write and has not the facilities
afforded him for learning to do so, and
knows our country only by the dried
fish and rice it sends him for his con-
sumption.
His bette noire is the Spanish civil
guard who patrol the country in mount
ed pairs, and whose boast is that they
never bring in prisoner alive. He pays
direct tax to the government in the form
of impuesto territorial, or assessment on
the value of his farm, and the cedula,
or internal passport. and it has been
stated that these taxes amount to about
60 per cent of this net income. But he
is ready for emancipation and when
educated will prove q valuable and law
abiding citizen. independent.

WASHINGTON, Oct DIR. Talmage,
drawing his illustrations from a deer
hunt, in this discourse calls all the pun
eued and troubled of tho earth to come
and Stake their thirst at the deed river
of divine comfort; text, Psalms xiii, 1,
"As the hart panteth after the water
brooks, SO panteth my soul after thee,
o Cod
David, who must some time have seen
deer hunt, points US here to hunted
stag making for the water. The tascl-
mating animal called in my text the hart
is the same animal that in sacred and
profane literature is called the stag, the
roebuck, the hind, the gazelle, tho rein
deer. In central Syria, i'll Bible times,
there were whole pasture fields of them,
as Solomon suggests when he says, 1
charge you by the kinds of the field. "
Their antlers jutted from the long grass
as they lay down. No hunter who has
been long in "John Browns tract
will wonder that in the Bible they were
classed among clean animals, for the
dews, the showers, the lakes washed
them ms clean as the sky. When Isaac
the patriarch longed for venison, Esau
shot and brought home roebuck. Isaiah
compares the sprightlincss of the re.
stored cripple of millennial times to the
long and quick jump of the stag, say
ing, 1.-THE lame shall leap as the hart.
Solomon expressed his disgust-at hunt
er who, having shot deer, is too lazy
to cook it, saying, "tTho slothful man
roasteth not that which he took in
hunting.
But one day David, while far from the
home from which lie hid been driven.
and sitting near tie n.oIlh Of lonely
cave where he had lotgsd, ana on the
banks of {. pond or river. htals Il pack
of hounds in swift Pursuit. E,,carae oi

clangor sta-t!es him, al.d be says to
himself, II wonder what ;i.csr dogs are
after. Then tii:re is a cracking in
the brushwocd, erd the lend breathing
of some rushing Order OF the woods,
and the antlers of doer rend lie leaves
of the thicket and by an instinct which
all hunters recognize the creature
plunges into pool or lake or river to
cool it's thirst and at the same time by
it's capacity for swifter and longer
swimming to get away from the foam
ing barriers. David says to himself
"Aha, that is myself Saul after me,
Absalom after me, enemies without
number after me; l am chased; their
bloody muzzles at my heels, barking ut
my good name, barking after my body
barking after my soul. Oh, the hounds,
the houndsl But look there, says Da-
vid to himself; "that reindeer has
splashed into the wafer. 1t puts its hot
lips and nostrils into the cool wave that
washes its lathered tanks and it swinis
away from the fiery CANNES and it is
free at last. Oh, that might find in
the deep, wide lake of Gods mercy and
consolation escape from my pursuersl
Oh, for the waters of life and rescued

The Bible True 20 Nature.

The Adirondacls are now populous
with hunters, and the deer are being
slain by the score. Talking one summer
with hunter, thought would like
to see whether my text was accurate IN
it's allusion, and as heard the dogs bay
ing little way off and supposed they
were on the track of deer, said to
one of the hunters in rough corduroy,
do the deer always make for water
when they are pursued" He said: ION,
YES, mister. You see they are hot and
thirsty animal, and they know where
the water is, and when they hear dam
ger in the distance they lift their ant
lers and sniff the breeze and start for
the Raquet or Loon or Saranac, and we
get into our cedar shell boat or stand
by the runaway with rife loaded and
ready to blaze away. y
Ny friends, that is one reason why l
like the Bible so much-its illusions
are so true to nature. It's cartridges are
real cartridges, its ostriches zeal ostrich
es and its reindeer real reindeer. l do
not wonder that this antlered glory OF
the text makes the hunters eye sparkle
and his cheek glow and his respiration
quicken. To say nothing of its useful
ness, although it is the most useful of
all game, its flesh delicious, its skin
turned into human apparel, its sinews
fashioned into bowstrings, its antlers
putting handles on cutlery and the
shavings of it's horn used as pungent
restorative, the name taken from the
hart and called hartshorn. But putting
aside its usefulness, this en- .hantlng
creature seems made out of gracefulness
and elasticity What an eye, with Id
uid brightness as if gathered up from a
hundred lakes at sunset The horns, a
coronal branching into every possible
curve and after it seems complete as
cending into other projections of ex-
ouisiteness, tree of polished bone, up
lifted in pride or swung down for awful
combat. The hart is velocity embodied
timidity unprecedented; the enchant-
ment of the woods Its eye lustrous IN
life and pathetic in death. The splendid
animal complete rhythm of muscle
and bone and color and attitude and
locomotion whether couched in the grass
among the shadows or living bolt shot
through the forest, or turning at bay to
attack the hounds, or rearing for its
last fall under the buckshot of the trap
per. 1t is splendid appearance that
the painters pencil fails to sketch, and
only hunters dream on pillow OF
hemlock at the foot of St. Regis is able
to picture. When 20 miles from any set
Element it comes down at eventide to
the lakes edge to drink among the lily
pods and With its sharp edged hoof shat
tiers the crystal of Long lake it is very
picturesque But only when after miles
Of pursuit, with hcaving sides and loll
ing tongue and eyes swimming in death
the stag leaps from the cliff into upper
Saranac can you realize how mucf
David had suffered from his troubles
and how much he wanted God when nj
expressed himself in the words of th'
text, GAS the hart panteth after the wa
ter brooks, so panteth my soul afte'
thee, O God.
