THE PILGRIMS JOURNEY.

The Guide said: Trust to me,
Scarce ore sep canst thou see
Along t!..s shanowed way.
Child fo..ow me this day!
On either side
StrctCh meadows fcir and, wide
But there the creeping, deadly ivy crows
Beside the gay ana ragrant briar rose,
And WHO'RE TIE grasses wave most rank
a!d green,
The quick sands lie which vcrdure serves to
screen"
The Guide said: Follow me.
Though rough the pathway be:
Where scarcely thou canst stand.
I'll hold thee, hand in hand,
And lead thee on.
And keep thy steps the narrow way upon:
And, thus upheld,
Thy fear and doubling que!led
Up to the hills thy strengthened feet shall
climb,
Ard thy glad heart forget this weary time;
10. give no longing thought to all that may
Seem fair and tempting in thy sight to-
day"
The pilgrims heart was stirred
With JOY at that sweet word;
He turned his eyes aside
From the green meadows wide,
And said with lifted head:
Lead me Thy way, O Guide;
Those fields of pleasure wide
Shall never solace me,
But ! will walk with Thee.
/ shall! not fear
The craggy steep. If Thou be near
Nor the dark misty valleys gloom and
AND loneliness if Thou walk with me still;
And after ;hat-I, too, shall see and know
The glorious ending of the way We go!'

Men spranS to obey the captain. .nA
In an instant there was a small boat
resting on the water. with four
swarthy and almost murderous looking
men In it-for what! To rescue hu-
man being from drowning. These men
would take the life OF another AZ quick
ly as look at him II his life was neces-
sary to their own safety. But the cry
for help that came from the black va
ter Of the river had found a response
In their own hearts. as 1t might have
found In the hearts Of the manifest and
most courageous of the sailors on q
man-of-war.
When Rob struck the water. after
his sudden plunge from the deck of the
Royal Mail" he went down deep into
the river. and for a moment was bereft
Of his senses. But this was simply for
the moment. and up he came again to
the surface. to battle bravely for his
life. He saw the receding lights Of the
steamer. and cried out as Justify as he
could for help. But the steamer had
gone too far for his voice to be heard
on board. and 1t was heard instead by
the men on the BLACK Cat"
Suddenly Rob, who was not trying to
swim, but simply to keep himself
afioat, which he was able to do. heard
the plash of oars near him. Then he
heard the voice Of man calling out to
him:
Hoy! Hoy! Where him bc?"
Here I ami" shouted Rob. This
way! This way!"
A few strokes OF the oars brought
the boat nearer still. and then the boat
was allowed to drift. while a man
stood in the bow ready to seize the
person who needed help as soon as he
came in reach.
Light, Quick!" said this man in the
bow.
Suddenly a gleam lit up the dark
ness. and the rays Of n small lantern
were turned on the water. Rob was
then about ten feet from the boat. He
at once took few strokes toward 1t.
He was seized in the strong hands Of
the man in the bow. and In a moment
more was dragged into the boat.
His life had been saved-by Snug
glers.
The lantern was extinguished, and
an instant later a light was displayed
on the deck of the "Black Cat" To-
ward this the men rowed, and In about
five minutes more Rob. shivering
soggy with soaked clothing. and ready
to shout and laugh and cry all at once
from his mixed emotions, stood on the
schooner's deck.

Doing Pennnce for Sins.

In former times persons guilty OF
grievous and notorious offenses were
required to make open confession and
further to make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly in white
sheet In their parish church, says
Stray Stories. The sheet was used to
show clearly to every one which was
the offender. The last time that pub
lie penance was done in All English
church was on Sunday evening. July
30. 1882, when a man named Martree.
in the Church of All Saints. East Mar
tree, made an open confession of i'm
morality and promised to perform the
penance thus imposed upon him by
the vicar. No white sheet was used
on this occasion. The last case In
which one was used appears to have
been one in st. Bridget's church, Ches-
ter, in 1851. But on that occasion the
penance was not public, the church
door being locked In the previous year
however, public penance in a white
sheet was done in a country church in
Essex and a similar thing occurred in
Ditton church, near Cambridge. in
1849.

No Fear When Death Draw. Nigh.


II have seen thousands Of persons

and never yet have seen one display
the slightest fear of death" This re-
markable statement was made the
other day by physician who has prac-
ticed many years in Philadelphia. and
who has seen a great deal OF hospital
service. ut is popular fallacy." he
went on, "to imagine that deathbed
scene is ever terrible, other than as
parting between loved ones. The fear
of the unknown Ia never present at the
last. Even amid ignorance and vice
have never experienced such scenes as
q novelist. who strives after realism,
will sometimes picture. When pa
tient is told he cannot recover and the
end is near, he invariably seems re-
signed to his fate, and his only thought
seems to be of those who are to be left
behind. This is true alike Of men and
women. Those who become hysterical
and declare they are not tit to die are
the ones who are not as Ill as they
think they are. They always get well.

was only a chance, and her captain
knew that II lights were shown there
was almost a certainty of being run
down by government boats.
Across the stern of this vessel no
name could be seen in the brightest
daylight. But still she had a name. 1t
was Eel Cato Negro" or THE Black
Cat"
The crew of "El Cato Negro" was a
mixed lot Of rascals. some being Span
ish. born in South America. some being
tive Indian. THE Black Cat" had a
bad name among the officials OF Ar
gentina, and she was. In reality, the
fastest and most successful smuggler
in the world.
She was entering the river. even now.
with cargo of rifles and ammunition,
and also of rum and tobacco. on which
there is heavy duty in Argentina. and
was making in the dark for certain
spot where the contraband cargo could
be landed without fear of detection.
The language spoken on board the
BLACK Cat" was something beyond
printed words to describe. 1t was GER
tainly a jargon Of English, mixed with
Spanish, French or any other Ian
guage that came handy. The men were,
to a man, desperate, cut-throat gang.
Captain Torrevo. of the BLACK Cat"
was on deck peering at the lights of the
steamer, which was passing short
distance ahead of the schooner. He
grinned with satisfaction as he thought
how lucky 1t was for him that the
night was too black for the men on the
steamer to see the BLACK Cat"
The captain had taken extra precau-
ton to avoid collision of any kind,
and half dozen lookouts were dis
tributed throughout the schooner With
but half her sails spread to the gentle
night breeze. the BLACK Cat" glided
easily and noiselessly through the
water.
The Royal Mail was now far up the
river. and her lights could just be dis
tinguished; they flickered. then were
gone. The BLACK Cat" was crossing
the path of the steamer. not more than
three minutes after she had passed.
Hist" came a cry from lookout
in the bow. me hear cry-cry-see?
Listen!"
"Ho! Me hear UNI" said another
lookout who had strained his ears.
What um be? Man in water?"
Him over there!" shouted a fellow
who was as black as the night itself.
"Hark! Hear de same zing over?"
Captain Torrevo had rushed forward,
and was listening intently.
Family there came to his ears the
words. Help! am drowning! Help!"
Boy in the water" said the captain.
whose ears never deceived him on the
water. Hey! Port there! Hard!
Stand by there to rescue! Lower away
a boat"
