A BEAUTIFUL STORY.
From Dickens Reprinted Pieces."l

From Dickens Reprinted Pieces"]
E5UN HERE was once child, and he
&SE &v strolled about good deal, and
VAN thought of number of things.
He had sister, who was
child too, and his constant companion.
Those two used to wonder all day long.
They wondered at the beauty of the
flowers; they wondered at the height
and blueness of the sky: they wondered
at the depth of the bright water; they
wondered at the goodness and the pow
err of God, who made the lovely world.
They used to say to one another,
sometimes, supposing all the children
upon the earth were to die, would the
flowers, and the water, and the sky be
sorry? They believed they would be
sorry. For, said they, the buds are the
children of the flowers, and the little
playful streams that gamble down the
hill-sides are the children of the water;
and the smallest bright specks playing
at hide and seek in the sky all the night
must surely be the children of the stars;
and they would be grieved to see their
playmates, the children of men, no more.
There was one clear, shining star that
used to come out in the sky before the
rest, near the church spire, above the
graves. 1t was larger and more beau
tiful, they thought, than all the others,
and every night they watched for it,
standing hand in hand at window.
Whoever saw it first cried out, 81 see
the starp' And often they cried out
both together knowing so well when it
would rise, and where. So they grew
to be such friends with it, that, before
lying down in their beds, they always
looked out once again, to bid it good
night; and when they were turning
round to sleep, they used to say, GOD
bless the start"
But while she was still very young,
oh very, very young, the sister dropped,
and came to be so very weak that she
could not longer stand in the window at
night; and then the child looked sadly
out by himself, and when he saw the
star, turned round and said to the pa
tient pale face on the bed, 81 see the
start" and then smile would come up
on the face, and little weak voice
would say, "God bless my brother and
the start
And so the time came, all too soon!
when the child looked out alone, and
when there was no face on the bed; and
when there was little grave among
the graves, not there before; and when
the star made long rays down toward
him, as he saw it through his tears.
Now, these rays were SO bright, and
they seemed to make such a shining

Behold, one in the city was to give a
great party and many people were to be
there, and the reporter was abroad in
the land seeking the names of the guests
and trying to learn how the house was
to be decorated in order that all might
appear in the morning and evening pa
pers. And 10, the time arrived for the
gathering, and it was not called party,
but it was called a reception. And the
people began gathering in the after
noon, and they came in stream until
the evening, and there was talking and
laughter, and rich viands were spread,
and beautiful garments were worn by
the maidens, and all went as merry as a
marriage bell.
And behold, one who was listening to
the talk, but taking small share in the
same, heard maiden say, "Isn't he
just too perfectly lovely for anything;"
and the ears were pricked up to see
who this wonder might be, but seeing
no evidence OF perfect masculine lowell
ness he thought that perhaps he had
not heard Alright. After little there
broke upon his ear the sound of the
same words, only there was adherence
evidently in that which was referred to,
for the saying was, isn't this just too
perfectly lovely for anything;;" and be-
hold, this time he saw to what refer
ence was made; and 10, it was cup Of
chocolate. And he wondered at this
thing, when again the sound smote or

A COUNTRY BURIAL.
truth Huntington Sessions.l

Ruth Huntington Sessions
The farmhouse, gambrel-roofed, gray and still,
With its guarding naples, crowns the hill.
Under the shade in the farmyard wide,
A row of horses standing tied,
group on the porch by the open door,
coffin carried the threshold DER.
An old man, grizzled spare and bowed
Walks through the little curious crowd
OF Sunday-ga neighbors, shy and slow,
Gathered from bayfield, and harvest row
To see Eer pass, after forty years,
From the scene of her household hopes and
fears.
Her "boys"-bronzed farmers-as next of kin,
Bear the still burden, lift 1t in
To place; one daughter, not long bride,
Stands with white face at her husbands side.
Someone brings out from a darkened room
wreath of sunny -hued garden bloom,
The parsons chaise leads, down the road,
The one-horse hearse with Its silent load,
The stiff, sad mourners, their borrowed black
Powdered with dust from the dronght-parched
track,
A train of wagons that creak and swing,
In decorous order following.
There on the plain in pitiless light
A cluster Of headstones blank and white,
A pile Of fresh earth, cool and brown,
A gray-haired sexton, his spade laid down,
Waiting their coming. Does no one know
That he loved her fifty years ago?
Behind bend of the river blue,
curl of smoke where a train dashed through,
A Hark ofa aup toiu NJ of oIn
locust humming long and loud
Hints Of earths ceaseless growth and strife,
Ignored, forgotten, this ended life.
Beyond the river" the choir chant;
"Dust to dust"-is 1t empty cant
That the parson reads? What man will say?
The hard earth rattles, they turn away;
A few spent sobs from the friends bereaved,
The neighbors satisfied, half relieved.
The sun sinks deep in rose-fushed west,
The Cloud-pile loses its purple crest,
The dew chill rises, the frogs Groom low,
From farmhouse windows the lamp-lights glow
To cheer the living. The dead left lone
To molder? Nay, by the Risen One!
A worm crawls out from an upturned sod,
white moth f1utters above q clod,
passing breeze on the new mound filings
maple seed, with translucent wings.
SO nature offers her comfort dumb,
In small, sure pledges of life TO come.
That Power which opened the rock-sealed cave,
Yet parts the threads of crysalis' grave,
Rocked with an earthquake Calvary's cross,
Lifts deathless love over mortal loss,
sets atoms ffee.

nI&lk4sA| Wnen CUBA was nghtlng 1Of
her liberty. Here is one re-
lated to me by my faithful guide, Gull
lermo, as we rode leisurely along the
trail, that DETECTING from the valley of
the San Juan river, led northward into
the mountains, one bright afternoon
with the sun beating down upon us as
though it had contract to roast us for
supper. The wealth of tropical beauty
which enveloped valley and mountain
was surprising in it's loveliness as it I'M
folded to our view at every turn, and I
had indicated to my guide that pre-
ferred to enjoy it in silence, but as we
passed a beautiful palm grove imme-
diately to our left where the skeleton
remains of three or four rude wickiups
were still visible, Guillermo, or in plain
English, William, ventured the remark,
''This was the Cuban camp in which
Manuel Bastida was tried for killing a
caballo," (horse.)
''Tell me about it,"
''It is not much of a story. There are
many others very like it. Bastida lived
about two leagues from here--he and
his wife and little six-year-old boy.
He was an honest man and harmless,
and he was very poor, though before
thu xuon xubioh ,,,oIo nc oil ,,ono ha
had very pleasant little home, around
which the oranges and the plantains
grew, and in his garden were lettuce
and sweet potatoes and many fruits.
But the soldiers took them and the gar
den became barren, and in the house
there was nothing to eat. Hunger en-
tered the door, and his wife grew i'll for
want of food, and his little boy, the
little Carlos, once healthy and hand
some, became shadow. His little arms
were not larger than my fingers and he
could no longer walk, but lay upon his
poor little bed calling, calling always to
his mother: 'Mama, mi deseo pan y
cafe"-(mama, me want bread and cof-
fee.) The mother was too weak to
leave her bed, and the father had notb=
ing to give his uyfhg chiid. at last,
made desperate by the pitiful appeals
of the poor little fellow whose cries for
bread were growing weaker and fainter,
the father went forth and killed pony,
the only living thing he could find, and
brought as much of the fesh>home as he
could carry, in his weak condition. He
quickly cooked it and gave to his wife
and child, and they blessed him. That
night detail of soldiers came and ar
rested him and took him away to the
camp we have just passed. The COM
handing general had issued strict or
der directing that any person guilty of
killing horse should be shot. Horses
were scarce, and they were needed for
the soldiers. Manuel acknowledged his
guilt and begged to be shot, saying:
"Kill me! If l am spared will live
only to see my wife and child die Of
starvation without being able to relieve
their suffering. If I am shot will be
free from my sorrows, and my loved
ones will soon follow me. I desire to
live no longer. Kill me, senors; am
guilty; kill me quick"
"And did they?"
''The orders were very strict, sir. He
was ordered shot at sunrise. He is bur-
led just over there. Twill show you the
graves of his wife and child farther up
the valley"

Aristotle is credited with saying that
personal beauty is better introduction
than any letter; but Others say that it
was Diogones who gave this description
of it, while Aristotle called beauty
"the gift of God;' that Socrates called
it ga short-lived tyranny Theophras-
tus, "a silent deceit" Theocritus, IAN
ivory mischief" Carneades, "a sove-
reignty which needs no guards"

Those of a domestic turn can learn now
to make pies, pastries, omelettes and
thi.4gs, the bare mention of which are
delightful, at the rate of fifty cents per
lesson. On various corners, in differ
ent parts of the grounds, one comes
upon stands where candies and soft
drinks are dispensed. The booth for
Indian basket-work is in evidence also,
and it is indeed wonderful how many
interests are considered by the man.
agement. These privileges are, of
course, let, and the proceeds are de-
voted to the general fund, which is ex-
pended in improvements and the rum
ming expenses, which are necessarily
heavy.
In the tower of the pier house hangs
chime of bells. Every hour bell
rings, and all is activity on the streets;
teachers and students hurrying to
classes and lectures, others to the am
phitheater or to their several occupa-
tions. At Top. m. the curfew sounds,
the chimes ringing some sweet air
pleasant to the ear and soothing to the
heart and mind. After this time every
one is expected to be quiet. OF course
one may sit up as late as desired, but
any undue noise will bring in. the po-
liceman, who l suppose would have
quieting influence, though he was quite
a mild looking man, running much to
side-whiskers, which were rather over
done, and did not add to his awe
inspiring appearance.
One sees many strange phases of life.
For instance, our head-waiter was an
actor, who frankly confessed he was
there for the money in it. Bishop Gal
loway said that the bell-boy who an
swered his ring, came in and said,
''Bishop, I want to shake hands with
you; l have read your latest book"
This was college student earning his
way. All honor to these young men
and women who are willing to work for
an education!
To fully appreciate Chautauqua and
the great work done there one must
visit it in person. The attendance was
unusually large this year, and many
Southern people were among the Wis
itors. This fact will doubtless be an
other tie to unite great and patriotic
people, whose difference has been the
result of not knowing and understand
ing each other. ANNIE Fl. Ross.

ing out the love and best qualities of
his pupils. There were many fine con-
certs, participated in by the grand cho-
rus, finely trained orchestra, noted
singers, and such well known instru-
mentalists as Sherwood and Marconi.
1t was gratifying to our Southern and
State pride to note that the most cor
dial applause we heard was given re-
peatedly to singer from Memphis, Mr..
Williams.
Chautauqua is little city complete
in itself, having its own administrative
body, police, its department of public
comfort, transfer company electric
light plant, telephone system, sewer
age converter and waterworks. The
streets are beautifully laid off, many of
them with cinderlithic pavements, and
are marvels of cleanliness and comfort.
The trees, many of them the remains OF
the original forest, are one of the chief
beauties of the place, and the shade is
so perfect that it is a usual thing to see
men, women and children going about
their affairs bare-headed.
In trying to sum up my impressions of
Chautauqua the word that constantly
comes to my mind is rational" There
is some enjoyment for each hour of the
day, and always of an elevating and
helpful character. One could not live
in such a mental and moral atmosphere
and not be helped. One of the most
beautiful sights there is the number of
old people, who seem never to have
grown old. 1t is the haven of rest for
people who are on the sunset side of the
hill of life, and the sunshine seems
to linger lovingly on them. For the
little ones it is paradise where sand
piles fthoughtfully shaded by awnings
are dotted around in convenient places;
where there is reading, bathing, sail
ing, fishing, with no element OF danger
to disturb the maternal mind; clubs for
boys, in which they may learn wheel
ing, rowing, ball and everything that
makes boys life worth living; places
where the little mothers may learn to
make clothes for "dolly;" kindergarten
where they build houses, freeze real
ice cream and enjoy themselves to the
fullest extent; bicycle club in which
4 those addicted to the wheel can show
Z th9f 6eiency, or he lack of it.
