He peered over the edge of his shelf
at the broad ledge below; he looked
straight there a hundred feet to the
foot of the bluff; and he could not tell
for the life of him from what direction
that thrilling cry had come.
Then a pebble was loosened, and fell
down the bluff, around somewhere to
the right of Tad's refuge and he called:
Sergeant"
He heard something rub gently
against the rocks on the ledge below.
and then another pebble bounded away;
but no strong word of cheer came in
answer.
In another moment, though his wide
eyes had been watching all the
time, the panther lay below him. She
kept well to the farther edge. She saw
him, and seemed gathering for a spring,
1t was seconds before he thought of
his rifle. Then he fired, and she leaped.
He felt her claws strike at him, and
catch again and again. But he with
drew. far into the little nook, and there
was no foothold for her.
She toppled back and he could hear
her breathing plainly. Then she tried
again. AS she stood on her hind feet
her claws caught in his clothing, but
he fought himself free; and time and
again she scratched him, but he did
not cry out.
Once or twice she withdrew her paw,
stretched very high, and pushed her
black muzzle up until he could see her
two red eyes; and he knew the two red
eyes could very we'll see him. But
when she struck she must withdraw her
head to give the paw a, greater reach
and by shifting a little he could dodge
her.
But all the time, as she tried for him.
first with one fore-paw and then with
the other, her hind feet were clawing at
the bluff for a foothold If she had
found it, she would have lifted and
reached him instantly. She did not find
it.; but she was loosening soil and
stones with every effort, and these were
forming growing platform which
brought her nearer.
When he knew the next fling of a paw
would reach him, he saw the bare
blond head of Sergeant Gore on the
ledge
The back of her head was toward the
soldier, for her left paw was at the
bosom of Tad's blue coat
Cling tightp' said Gore.
And a wonderful thing happened. The
sergeant stepped close to the panther's
side, facing outward. His left arm
flashed about the extended body. He
made that splendid fulcrum of the hin.
He swung just once and swiftly; and
the panther went-as Higgins had once
gone-heels over head, and helpless.
She flung both paws wildly, but she
made no sound as her dark body shot
over the edge and. was swallowed up in
the darkness. They listened what
seemed a long time, and heard her
strike at the foot of the bluff.
Great throw!' cried Tad, and he
crept exultant from the nook, and clam
bered out where Sergeant Gore could
lift him down. But he had to be car
ried. When it was all over his sturdy
legs refused to bear him, and he stag
gered very helplessly. Gore laid him
on the pine-needles at the summit. for
few minutes. And presently they
went down the long road to the warm

The Georgia Mule.

Nobody ever heard of a Georgia mule
stampeding, says the Atlanta "Consti-
tuition He will finch and dodge and
go through other performances, but he
never runs from anything. He has
battery of his own as efficient at close
range as a Maxim or a Calling gun.
and on this he depends absolutely
Moreover, he never wastes his ammuni-
ton nor misses his aim Speaking,
therefore, in behalf of the Southern
bred mule generally and the Georgia
raised mule particularly. we could wish
that the British commander lin at
tributing the capture of two of his reg
iments to stampeding mules, had in
cluded brief biography of the mules
in question, in order that full justice
may be done. So far as our observation
and experience go. neither the music OF
many bands nor the war of artillery
has any effect on the Georgia mule.

tunately, church records exist, and it is
possible to apply the historical method
to the question. This has been done
by Charles Augustus Stoddard, whose
results, not yet published, have been
placed at our disposal. If his data are
exhaustive, they are at least more
varied and complete than those of the
dyspeptics. They show that where pop
ulation has declined evangelical church
membership has never declined in like
measure, and has often actually in

into heathenism, no waning of spiritual
usefulness, and no wide degeneracy.
Nor is there evidence that the New
England stock is deteriorating. AS

schools. OF course, outside of the town

TAD AND HIS PANTHER.

did you hear that panther last night,
Sergeant?" asked Tad, the Captain S
son.
NO" said the sergeant, as he c,lt at
the top of the cage-brusn with the loose
end of the lariat hanging at his saddle.
L didn't hear H,sbut it yelled, guess.
Billy Murphy was on guard down at
Post No. 2, and he didn't dare walk
the length of his beat"
Lets go there tonight and fetch 1t
in,'' said the boy.
"No-no!''
The soldier rarely spoke in so positive
a manner to his younger companion.
They had grown to be quite good
friends. So Sergeant Gore looked al
the trim figure at his side, and admired
AS cavalryman would-Tad' S
posture in the saddle. And then he
gazed down the long road to the bluff
on the shingly lodges of which the
panther they had been speaking of
was said to prowl at night and call
to the echoes in that fearsome voice.
Gore was a well-born, well-trained
young fellow who had enlisted in the
ranks of the regular army at time
when penniless and discoura ged, as
has many another son of good family.
He seemed particularly attractive to
this boy. Tad admired Gore because he
was cleverer than the others. Gore was
a better shot and better horseman
and he was the best wrestler in the fort
And there is nothing that SO appeals to
the soul of the boy as ability in that
close struggle of athletes, that embrace
OF gladiatorS out of which comes the
triumph of the unarmed hands, the
victory of the uniaded muscle and skill.
And d's-father, the Captain, had not
discouraged the association which gave
his son pleasure and seemed to make
the lad more manly.
Couldn't we kill the panther, Ser
geant?"
we might, and we might not The
last man in this troop who went out
to kill a panther came back in a sling
between two pack mules; and he didn'
get off sick. report for three months
Now, see here, Tad Get that wrinkle
out of your brain! How would it look
for me to risk the Captains son out
there on the bluff at night? How
would I go to the Captains wife and ex-
plain it if"
Wouldn't need any explanation if we
brought the panther"
"Or how would square matters with
the Captain when the Captains little
boy was lying in bed-and surgeon
plaster all over him?"
Pretty nice thing to kill a panther!''
Yes; and them
Sergeant, are you afraid of her?''
I'm not afraid of anything alive, =
said the Sergeant calmly.
If you are not afraid, why don't
you go?"
I'VE don't do all the things we dare
to do"
What, for instance?"
well, I dare tell Higgins, when we
get to camp, that won't mount guard
tomorrow"
Then why don't you go?"
Because it is my duty to mount
guard whenever he details me. He's
the Orderly Sergeant
I saw you throw him one time,'' said
Tad, irrelevantly; and then he stopped
to laugh at the recollection.
Higgins was a very strong man; and
one day in spring, before mounted drill
was begun, the soldiers got up tourn-
ament on the parade-ground, where the
Orderly Sergeant challenged any one to
wrestle Tad remembered Cores ac-
ceptance, and how the bigger man had

under the circumstances of the present
time? Zion is as yet untouched. Not a
stone has been removed from our walls.
Creeds, articles, tests and vows all re-
main just as they were. The word of
God is read in the accustomed version
and we have not incurred the maledic-
ton pronounced upon those who ado
anything to it or take anything away
from it. 1t is no small thing that we
have still such mighty defenses. Doubt
less our enemies underestimate the
strength of these bulwarks and think
that if they can gather large enough
force to assault them from without,
breach can be made. They are GER
tainly interchangeable in trying to make
US tired of what they call our obsolete
letters of thought. We are somewhat
hardened to that sort of reflection. A
greater danger to US lies in the pres
ence of traitors within If these be-
come numerous enough to change our
standards no doubt the captivity of
this branch of the church will be near.
And SO one of our duties becomes man
ifest. We have often spoken of it and
will not now enlarge upon it, but Will
only repeat our conviction that it is the
bounden duty Of every member of the
church, and especially of the Bishops
and the clergy, to be vigilant and to
denounce and reject all who are in
fected with the poison of liberalism"
/ Meantime" says the Christian Reg
lister" CUnit), of Boston, there is an
aspect of church life in America which
is even more encouraging than the in
fusion of Unitarian ideas into orthodox
theology. There is something even
better than a rational theology, and
that in the Church of the Divine Amen
tiles. Such a church is now growing
in America as fast as any other, not
even the Methodist excepted 1t has
no definite organization, no presbyteries
or associations or conventions, or any
thing of the sort. 1t is not to be meas
ured by any formal expressions of in
ternational sympathy, by any schemes
for Christian unity, any Congress of
Liberal Religion, and things of that
kind. These things are signs of the
times, and as such to be noted care
fully and rightly praised They are
works by which the Church of the Di-
vine Amenities is partly known. but
not in the wide range of it's bene-
ficence. Much more significant are the
spontaneous approaches and affiliations
of the different churches and their
ministers in hundreds and thousands of
towns and villiages-less in the larger
cities-here, there, and almost every
where in the United States If any one

of US should keep a record or these
things, such as come With the range
of our own observation, We should be
surprised to find how it was lengthen-
ing out, how many ministers of different
denominations are exchanging with
each other and engaging in common
offices of a religious character. The
Unitarian minister 'summering high up
ON the hills of God,' has the freedom
of the village pulpit, be it Congrega-
tional, or Baptist, or Methodist.
Local church festivals bring to-
gether clergymen of the most
various opinions in friendly way. The
Presbyterian and Universalist meet to-
gether; and, if the Roman Catholic
and Unitarian do not kiss each other,
they laugh and chat, unconscious of the
impossible gulf which yawns between
their theological systems.
''It would seem to be the belief of
certain persons, not remarkable for
their profundity,' says the New York
Examiner" (Bapt), that the Baptist
denomination, because it has no formal
creed, maintains a sort of lyceum
wherein vagaries may be exploited at
pleasure. 1t is hardly necessary to in
form intelligent people that this is a
grave misapprehension. But, az we
have had enough, and more than
enough, of such infringement of com
ity, it is about time that those who in
dulge in it were reminded of the impro-
priety of continued trespass upon Il
broad tolerance. A Baptist church, we
may recall to the attention OF these
brethren, is q body of immersed believ-
ers in the La-.d Jesus Christ. WHO are
united together under the headship Of
Christ, in accordance with certain def
mite principles and for well understood
purposes Their polity itself being a
protest against ecclesiasticisln. there
exists among Baptists no body whose
action is mandatory or binding upon
the individual church. But while this
is true, III matters of faith and practice
there is very definite consensus of
opinion among all regular Baptist
churches upon the cardinal doctrines
of the New Testament. Where
these doctrines are denied. it is the
most literal truism to say that the dis
sident ceases to be a Baptist: and. II
he seeks publicly to propagate his dis

Let US bear in mind" says the
"Watchman" (Bapt) of Boston, that
we do not promote true Sabbath keep
ing by making the day hard, gloomy
and repulsive, whether in the home or
in the church. Some one has yet TO
discover the resources OF joy lodged in
the Christian faith. Too often, when
we seek to give Chris ianity a joyful
aspect we are simply treating it lightly
and frivolously. The serene and exult-
ant JOY of heart that .;lls the home and
cnurch with buoyant gladness will
