An Old Hymn.

A pathetic and yet charming story 10
told Of the origin Of the well known
hymn, "Blest be the tie that binds"
which was written by Rev. john Faw-
cett, an English Baptist, who died in
1917, having spent nearly 60 years in
the ministry.
II was in l772, after few years
spent in pastoral work. that he was
called TO London TO succeed the Rev. Dr.
Gill. His farewell sermon had been
preached near Moinsgate in Yorkshire
Six or seven wagons stood loaded with
his furniture and books, and all was
ready for departure.
But his loving people We're heart
broken. Men, women and children gath
cred and clung about him and his fam
lily with sad and fearful faces. Finally,
overwhelmed with the sorrow of those
they were leaving, DR.. Fawcett and
his wife sat down on one Of the packing
cases and gave way TO grief.
"Oh John, cried Mrs. Fawcett at
last, II cannot bear this! l know not
how To 60.
Nor l either" returned her hus-
band, land we will not 60. The wagons
shall be unloadod and everything put
III its old place -
His people Were filed with intense
JOY and gratitude at this determination
Dr. Fawcett at once sent letter 10
London explaining the case, and then
resolutely returned 10 his work on IA sal
airy of less than $500 year.
This hymn was written 10 commemo-
rate the event. When Mr.. Getting, "A
missionary at Aintab, in Armenia, set
out in 1860 10 explore the Taurus noun
tains, he was 10 penetrate an entirely
new and dangerous field. This fact was
fully realized by the inhabitants of
Aintab and they gathered to the num-
Der of / 800 at the roadsides and bade
farewell TO the missionary and his fam
lily in the Armenian words of this hymn,
written nearly century before by the
devoted Yorkshire preacher Youth
Companion.

DEATH IN A BOILER EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed. Another Fatally Injured
and Fourth Wounded.

Petosky. Mich, May 16.-The boiler
of McFarlin Bros mill at Conway, five
miles east of Petosky. exploded Satur-
day afternoon, instantly killing twomen
and fatally injuring another. The mill
was about 20 start up, and II is sup
posed that the engineer started the
pump with water too low. The mill was
demolished. Engineer Louis Robinson's
body was picked up horribly mangled
100 feet away, and the remains
Of John Hetch were buried under a
mass Of wreckage. George Ballou was
struck by flying debris and so badly
mangled that he cannot live. Arthur
McFarlin, one Of the proprietors. was
seriously bruised and was picked up
unconscious, but will recover.

Cruiser Alfonso MI Out for "A spin.
Late Saturday afternoon the ships on
the Havana station were dumfounded
to see two ships steam out Of Havana
harbor and head east. Dense smoke
was streaming like black ribbons from
their stacks, and a glance showed that
they were under a full head Of steam.
BY aid of glasses Commander Lilly, OF
the Mayfiower, which was flying the
pennant, made out the larger vessel Of
the two, which was about 200 feet long
and about 4.500 tons displacement, to be
the cruiser Alfonso XIII, and the small

OF which were known 20 be bottled up
