Of San Miguel, the right flank resting
on stream, the left on an elevation
made secure by dense thicket.
1t was afterward ascertained that
the Filipino force in this position
numbered about GOO men.
Without waiting for the reinforcing

Private James Harrington, of the Ore
gons. an old frontiersman--12 men in

woman was joyously singing at work,
For she did not know that woman could
shirk:
And she said, as she turned the worn cloth
the wrong side:
''In some way or other the Lord will pro-

"There's Johnny, and Tommy, and Mamie,
All me!
With Jessie, and George and the twins
just turned three.
Some think there's too many, but don't
see that
And she gave the worn garment a soft
little pat.
So many worn garments, all just for their
sake.
But we never have lacked. not since was
bride,
For in some way or other the Lord will
provide"
So she fused. and she worked. and she cut
over clothes,
She mended. and darned, and made over
hose,
Yet she always was cheerful and a right
Often parted her lips. tho her days work
was long.
She kept her wee home, as spck and as
span,
AS ever a swift-handed, willing heart can.
And she smiled at old Time, and troubles

Saying soft in her heart: THE Lord will

Her husband he worked in the field all

And he said: when the sun shines, then
make up your hay"
He worked in the garden at morn and at
noon,
And working he whistled a bright, merry
tune
He never was idle, he tended his cows,
He hoed corn and potatoes, and kept up his
mows.
And he said: Whatever the time or the

So this couple they journeyed the long path

With work pressing sore, yet without care

They did not sit idly await for the Lord,
To furnish subsistence, although in His

much more;
From out OF His boundless, unlimited store,
Our works by our faith shall forever abide.
Then ''in some way or other the Lord will

When he was a boy, Israel Zangwill,
the author and playwright, was the
same thin, long-haired, spectaced per-
son that he is to-day, only then it took
more courage to be eccentric in appear
ance than ii does now. Twenty
years ago Mr., Zangwill was a pupil
in the jewish Free School, Bell Lane,
Spitalfelds, London. His singular face
and still odder manner led the older and
larger boys to make a butt Of him.
For the first few months he was cufred
and boxed, bullied and kicked by a
number of playful youths, but especial
ly by the bully of the school-a broad
shouldered, noisy young ruffian.
One day. after school, Zapgwill at
tracted not only the attention of the
school children, but of the neighber-
hood as well by turning on his persecu-
tor and replying to him in kind. When
the bully recovered from his amaze
ment he threw off his coat and hat and
made rush Mt the lad. zangwill was
books and doubled up his angular fists.
Inside of five minutes he had knocked
down the bully three times. and TWO
minutes later he had him suing for par
don and begging TO be let up.
From that day until he went 10 col
lege he was severely let alone, and IL
vas not until years after that the Sc
cret OF his victory became known. Dur
ing all the period OF his persecution
Zangwll had been taking boxing les
sons privately OF prize fighter and he
did not offer battle until he was rea-
sonably sure OF the result.-Saturday

in ,1S46, says the Saturday Review. The
flower which I has taken under its
patronage, upon whose aggrandize-
ment il has bestowed so successfully
such patient and ingenious care, has
been established among us only little
over century. The first time il was
thought worthy Of 'show" all TO it
self was in 1880. Fancy if one Of those
early patrons could have dropped in at
the exhibition last week and seen what
his favorites had attained to. Surely
he would have thought himself trans
lated. The very generic name Of the
plant, the golden fiooer." at first so
pertinent. has lost its distinctiveness
