CHAPTER X.

At break of day next morning, Ma
marah, accompanied by her maidens,
dressed all in sad garments of mourn
ing, passed through the streets Of Miz-
peh and wendell their way toward the
mountains, and, as they passed along,
behold the people came forth of their
houses to look upon them. and ever as
they saw the maidens, in their sack
cloth and ashes, men and women, and
even little children, lifted up their
voices and wept, for the vow that Jeph-
than had vowed was known unto all
the people; also that the maiden Ma
marah was gone, according unto GUS
tom, to bewail upon the mountains
with the maidens, her companions.
And as the maidens walked with sad
and measured steps, the maiden Ma
marah walked ever at their head, her
stately height and noble form swathed
in sackcloth. And, although the hood
of her mantle hid her face from view,
the people said she sobbed in passing,
because that they saw the fiuttering
rise and fall of her breast beneath the
folds of her gown.
But Namarah was not weeping. Her
brow was calm and solemn, and her
great eyes serene as be stars. Her
vigil had made her pale as the ashes
wherewith she had sprinkled her gar
ments, but the look of her face wal
strong and confident, and ever she
Whispered in the silence of her heart
"He will deliver"
AS the town was left behind, and the
rugged mountain path up which they
were to wend their toilsome way was
come in view, Namarah paused, and
the maidens who followed, pausing
also, say her part the folds of her gar
ment and take therefrom the mes
senger-dove which had already served
so faithfully. She spake no word,
neither looked she to the right nor the
left, while all the maidens wondered,
but lifting it to her lips she gently
kissed it, then raising her arm above
her head she held it on her open palm,
giving it little impulse upward, at
which it spread its wings and flew,
with sure and steady flight backward
along the path that they had come.
Namarah stood and looked at it until
the whiteness of it's feathers was even
one with the whiteness of the clouds,
and then she turned about and began
to climb the mountain-path, her maid
ems following. Then were there tears
in her eyes, in that moment, which
overlooked and fell upon her cheek, but
no eye there was that saw them.

An Ideal of True Greatness.

A Cleveland paper tells story of a
street incident which shows the ideal
of greatness which the sensational
newspapers, with their extravagant at
tention to athletics" are intoxicating
among the street boys. Two very dirty
boys of this class were engaged in dis
figuring as much as possible every face
on the advertisements on a big bill
board. They turned the actresses into
bearded ladies. put cigars in the
mouths of respectable aged gentlemen.
and gave Admiral Dewey a black eye.
Then one OF them started with his PEN
Gil for a face in the middle of the
board. But the Others called out:
Hey, Don't do anything to that"
why not?" asked the first why.

to take my spirit back to Him who
gave it, and so leave thee here upon
the earth, will 1t seem too hard thing
to wait with patience until the hour OF
thy release from earth and flesh shall
come, when thy spirit shall again meet
mine?"
TOO hard a thing, Namarah! /
could wait till eternity were ended
sooner than I could love any other
maiden than thee!"
"Ah, sweet, sweet is thy love and
loyalty beloved" saith Namarah; "and
my heart Is even warmed and COM
forted to hear thee speak those words.
Nevertheless, there is thing | would
have thee remember. If IL should be,
when l am dead, that thou shouldst
ever love another maiden-for thou art
young, and there be others worthy OF
thy love, and life alone is long and
sad-I would not have thee live unwed
because of me. If thou choosest to
marry thou hast my full consent, and
even my blessing from Heaven"
But at her words the young man
thrust her from him almost roughly,
and turned on her the first ungentle
look his face had ever worn to her.
Thou art unkind and cruel unto me,
Namarah." he said, land thy love is
not like to mine for thee, or thou
couldst not think possible the thing
whereof thou speakest. The soul Of
Adina slept within him until, at touch
of thy soul, it waked and it lives but
for thee alone. II thou must die, the
desire of my heart will be still to thee

Then, while the bird still rested Boz
tween them, they clasped each other
closer yet, for with the rising OF the
sun tomorrow Namarah and her maid
ems were to set forth unto the noun
tains, and this was their hour Of part
Ing.
Long time they rested there alone,
after the bird had fluttered off to It's
house, and ever the sound of Its sad
complaining came unto their ears.
ut shall be my companion while
thou art gone," said Adina, "and at
night / will take it with me, so that
its mourning shall be made against the
warmth Of my heart, that hath no
voice wherewith to utter the greatness
of its woe"
Nevertheless, I shall hear its COM
plainings even with the ears of my
SOUL" said Namarah, "and my heart
shall answer them, in sounds inaudible
that thy listening soul may hear. And
now must leave thee, beloved, for my
father waiteth for our parting to be
over, that he may even speak with me
himself"

CHAPTER yII.-(Continued.)

CHAPTER VII.-(COntinued.)
Then the face of each turned to each,
and long time they gazed into each
others eyes, as though their very
souls were barred unto each other. Then
silently their arms entwined, and softly
their lips met and pressed and chung;
and so rested they, still upon their
knees, for the moment was sacred at
once to love and to death. The thought
of what was to come was in the heart
of each, and cast around them a great
awe that seemed to wrap them in; but
even over this their pure love tri-
umphed, and the man and the maiden
were shown therein the truth Of Ma
marahs words, that love is stronger
than death.
Then Adina lifted up his voice and
prayed.
And Namarah in her gentle voice,
which the words of Adina's prayer
made now to tremble, answered even
also, amen"
After they got them to their feet
and went in search of the maiden's
father Jephthah, that they might speak
unto him cheering words and comfort
him with the comfort wherewith their
souls within them had been comforted.
And Namarah spoke unto her father
Jephthah, and said:
"Let this thing be done for me: let
me alone two months, that may go
up and down upon the mountains, and
bewail my unhappy lot"
And he said.

And after this, behold, the face Of the
maiden was no longer sorrowful, but
ever there beamed forth from it a most
calm and shining light that even COM
forted the hearts of all who gazed on
her.

Tho Monongahela,


Reports from this prop srty
are very encouraging. We
arc informed MS that the adj
ditional lift which was men
toned in our last item on tho
property has been finished and
the ore body drifted. The lense
is about sevcnty.fivc feet in

determined. We understand
that in some places the ore
runs very good and at
other points il is not SO good but

close to sixty in iron.

of the protestant ground, Of
course raised the question OF the
possibility of such an unpleasant
condition and is very naturally
the subject of considerable
speculation, the opposition To
such q consummation being
mainly based in sentiment.
Those inclined 10 favor the lease
claim that with mine up TO
both lines of this narrow strip,
the hidden mineral would likely
be removed through one or the
other, or both, and the city
would be none the wiser An
other consideration that seems
to favor the proposition is that
the ground is well-nigh filled and
can serve the purposes of a
burial ground but a short time
at best, and il is urged the in
come might be sufficient to pur-
chase the new grounds. Just
what will be done can be better
judged after the June meeting
OF the council which will take
the matter up. That there is
valuable ore under these sacred
spots there seems no reason TO
doubt. Herald

moved to Clarendon In the same STATE and
later to Greenwood, Miss. his present past

Miss Kate Young, Of Grenada, Miss.
"Mr. Reeves is a man Of fine physique, with
clear piercing eyes and a ann which wins
him friends among all denominations. He
is much loved by his people In Greenwood
and judging from his refusal OF a recent call
to Columbus, Miss, one of the most proml-
nent churches in the State, he recfprocates
their affection. Although still Quite young,

CLEAN UP.

A fact to which we allude with much
regret, is the unsightly condition Of
portions OF Grenada at the present
time. Weeds, shoulder high, cover the
landscape to the utter extinction
OF almost everything else. Not only
back lots but front ones, the sidewalks,
the roads, the churchyards, the school
house yard, the court house yard, and
every spot where brick and mortar Is
not laid, is overrun with dog %fennel,
thistles, and every other breed Of
weeds. Here and there a we'll kept
yard, with neatly trimmed sidewalks,
presents ar oasis in the desert OF
weeds, and the owners thereof are en-
titled to the thanks Of the public for
these pleasant places on which to rest
their eyes. 1t looks bad. We should
have more pride. 1t looks as though
we had sunk into the state of ~innocuous
d~esuetude, made famous by Grover
Cleveland, and that we care little
whether school keeps or not.
The city fathers should care for the
streets and the sidewalks and keep the
grass out Of the public places, but in
dividuals should look after their own
premises. People talk about these
things when they come to visit US, and
they talk more when they go away.
They tell that Grenada is so dead that
grass grows in the middle Of her
streets and that her people are SO tired
that the weeds grow even up to their
front door steps.
We expect a large number OF visitors
here in a short time. AS little boys
are admonished by fond and doing
mammas to wash their faces when com.
