April 23th

For fifteen years the American public
have been entertained, enlivened and
electrified by the music of Phinney's un-
rivaled band, and during that time his
influence has been second to none in
fostering an appreciation of the divine
art. His wonderful power over his must
cal forces, his appreciation of the needs
and desires of his audiences, and his
ability to meet them all, have combined
to render him pre-eminently the repre-
sentative bandmaster in America. The

His Best Ideas,

That the American man with the
hoe" does not find the life of the farm
stultifying must surely be inferred
from the words of an old tiller of the
soil, who came acros a classical vol
ume and found in Plato a kindred
spirit. The good American farmer
called upon a doctor, and was ushered
into the library. At once the well-filled
book-shelYes drew his attention. Are
you fond of reading?" asked the doc
yes returned the farmer, modestly.
Il should be pleased to lend you a book
10 take home with you," said the other.
Just take any one that you think
at selectin'," replied the old man.
You pick one out, DOCTOR So the
doctor, in a spirit of fun, gave the
farmer a book written by Plato. The
old man went away, and at the end of
a week reappeared with the book I'M
der his arm. Well" queried the doc
tor, did you read the book?" Eyes, 1
did," was the emphatic answer. And
what did you think of it," 1T was
fust-rate," responded the farmer. I've
read it through from kiver to kiver. I
never heard tell of this fellow Plato
before, but all the same I'm glad to
find that the old chap has been writing
UP some of my very best ideas"

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 futtering
IlSG anu 1dll VI USl UlCdoL DCuCaIu IhO
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 was
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
senger-dove which had already served
so faithfully. She spake no word,
neither looked she to the right o 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 a little impulse upward, at
which it spread it's wings and flew,
with a 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.

to take my spirit back to Him who
gave it, and so leave thee here upon
the earth, will it seem too hard a 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 l could love any other
maiden than thee!"
"Ah, sweet, sweet is thy love and
loyalty beloved" saith Namarah; land
my heart is even warmed and COM
forted to hear thee speak those words.
Nevertheless, there is a thing l would
have thee remember. If it 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 would not have thee live unwed
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 walked; and it lives but
for thee alone. If thou must die, the
desire of my heart will be still to thee
alone, and my soul shall even wait for
thy SOUL"

wed, 80 will l live lonely like the mats-
less bird, until mine end shall come"
Then, while the bird still rested be-
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 its
house, and ever the sound of it's sad
complaining came unto their ears.
ut shall be my companion while
thou art gone," said Adina, land at
night I 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 VICE."
Nevertheless, l snail hear its COM
plainings ever with the ears Of my
SOUL" said Namarah, land my heart
shall answer them, in sounds inaudible
that thy listening soul may hear. And
now must 1 leave thee, beloved, for my
father waiteth for u parting to be
over, that he may even speak with me
himself"

Ar Ideal of True Greatness.

A Cleveland paper tells a 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
boy. 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
don't you know? That's Jeffries, the
champion!" They left the face I'M
mutilated, looked respectfully at it a
moment, and trudged along.

CHAPTER VII.-0Continued.)

VlI.-(Contlnued.)
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
marah's 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 o 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
J%ephthah, and said:
LET this thing be done for me: let
me alone two months, that l may go
up and down upon the mountains, and
bewail my unhappy lot"
And he said:
Go"
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.

top of the head, passed down through
the brain into the mouth and finally
out at the side of the neck. A little
headache and a slight squint in one eve
were the only perceptible effects, and
recovery was complete and rapid. In
many cases the abdomen, bowels and
liver have been penetrated almost
without inconvenience. Wounds pierre
ing the lungs often give rise to nothing
more than a little blood-stained expec-
grafton. In one phenomenal instance q
bullet entered just below the collar
bone, traversed the whole length Of the
chest and body, emerging from the
inner side of the left thigh. without
erecting more than a little Temporary

Words of Peace.

l speak to you again of Jesus as the
night son. Job speaks of Him who
giveth songs in the night. John WEIGH,
the old Scotch minister, used to put a
plaid across his bed on cold nights,
and some one asked him why he put
that there. He said, "Oh, sometimes
in the night l want to sing the praise
of Jesus and to get down and pray.
Then l just take that plaid and wrap
it around me to keep myself from the
cold" Songs in the night, Night of
trouble has come down upon many of
you. Commercial losses put out one
star, slanderous abuse puts out another
star, domestic bereavement has put out
900 lights, and gloom has been added
to gloom and chill to chill and sting
to sting, and one midnight has seemed
to borrow the fold from another mid
night to wrap itself in more unbeara-
BILE darkness, but Christ has spoken
peace to your heart, and you sing:
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the pillows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, o my Saviour, Hide
Till the storm of life is passed,
Safe into the haven guide;
On. receive my soul. at last.
