wELLINGToN's TENDER HEART.

Mourned After Waterloo Because He
Had Lost His Dearest Friends.
Mrs. Charles Bagot, in her new book
entitled Links with the Past" gives
some interesting glimpses of the Duke
of Wellington and his kind heart as
well as an amusing and impressive rec
ord of the confidence which the people
of that time had in the great soldier.
"The duke came into Lady West.

him that by my recent marriage | had

kindly to me, took my hand and kept

admiration of him by my father and
uncles that was struck dumb. ! sim.
ply felt that was sitting hand in hand
with the savior of England and Eu-

AS an instance of the confidence the
dukes presence inspired, Lady Morn
ington tells the story that when firing
was heard In Brussels (where she was
staying) at the opening of the Battle Of
Waterloo, she went to wake her maid.
a woman called Finlay. The woman
merely sat up in her bed and said:
"Is the duke between us and the
French army, my lady"
Eyes, Finlay."
"Oh, then, my lady. shall lie down
and go to sleep again"
Lady Mornington says further that
when she first saw the duke at Brus-
sells after the battle and congratulated
him, he put his face between his hands
to hide his tears and said:
"Oh do not congratulate me! have
lost all my dearest friendsw
When the duke was told of the death
of Alick Gordon he shed tears.

wedding usually brings in very hand
some return for the outlay of brain
force and labor but there is another
variety of knot-tying with which every
parson Is more or less familiar-that
of the quiet couple who want no show
or parade, but simply want to be mar
ried. So they get license and go to
the preachers house, and lay the case
before him. There is nobody at home
but the cook, so the cook is called In
for witness, and the marriage cere-
mony is performed as well as the par
son can afford to do 1t in his mental
uncertainty as to the matter of fees.
He may get from nothing at all up to
So; the chances are that $3.50 will be
considered about the proper figure by
the groom, who, after inquiring, with
some perplexity, what the preacher
is going to charge, produces the sum
he had mentally appropriated for the
purpose, sometimes In quarters and
halves, from two or three pockets and
hands 1t over, eyeing it the while, as
though mentally calculating the other
uses in which it could more prodtably
be employed.
But all other cheering incidents in
the life Of the parson are thrown into
the shade by a revival In his church.
This, with its stirring services, the
busy preparations made necessary by
frequent sermons and exhortatiOns,
naturally dwarf, almost into lnslgnih-
canoe, all the other pleasures that
come within his sphere. A revival
means increased membership. this
means success; success means en-.
hanced reputation and probably oppor'
tunlties for wider usefulness. In q
word. the revival is the end for which
he labors all the year round. and witt
its attainment is realized the highest
measure Of satisfaction Of which th,
clerical heart is capable.-St Louis

66S SHOULD like to get place
with a good salary" said
young preacher seeking an APP
polntment to an old clergyman high In
the councils and respect of the denom-
nation with which he was connected.
Young man." rejoined the senior, IF
salary is your object you had better go
into any other vocation than the min
istry." The old man was right, for
in looking over the salaries and con-
templating the talents of the men en-
gagged In clerical work, 1t Is easy to
see that most of them would probably
be able to succeed much better, In a
financial way, in almost any other call
ing than that which they have chosen,
and that the same amount Of work. In
some other direction, might have made
them independently wealthy. But a
preacher should not, and, as rule,
does not preach merely for the sake
of the salary attached to the place he
fills. OF course, he wants support,
and support In style commensurate
with that of the people whom he
serves, but If he expects to make
money out of preaching he is destined
to be woefully disappointed, for, at the
best, after the year is ended he finds
himself fortunately situated If his bills
are all paid.
During the year he and his wife have
generally one long ceaseless struggle tC
make both ends meet, and often with
Indifferent success. He must be eco.
nomlcal where other men are liberal
he must learn to go without luxuries
and even without many things which
4 by most persons are regarded as ne
cesslties. He must make his old black
coat do duty for season after season

De Luce, who with her rich papa and

menagerie a moment from the door.
But If the sociable Is a delusiOn and
a snare, what shall be said Of the do
nation party? Not all preachers are
compelled to endure this form of legal
lied robbery, but those who are, after
one infiiction, never cease their suppli-
cations to be delivered from another.
The principle Of the donation party Is
that of rendering assistance to the
pastor, that Is to say, Of assuming a
wonderful amount of generosity by
pretending to make him present Of
that to which he Is justly entitled;
practically, the benefits are mostly on
the other side. The donators bring a
variety of articles, including many
which the pastor and his family gen
orally neither need nor want eat up a
months supply of provisions, have as
good a time as they can and depart
with satisfied consciences. believing
that they have discharged debt and
a duty at the same time, and, in addi-
ton, have conferred material benefits

Iusks are found having numerous small
reddlsh-yellow points In the spot where
pearls usually form. Then begins the
Imprisonment of the creature. In the
beginning the surface OF the distome
is sprlnkled with tiny grains of car
Donate of lime. These granulations
grow and take the form Of crystals
which group and interlace In different
patterns, and end by forming calcare-
GUS deposit around the creatures body,
which can still be distinguished by its
yellow tint.
The calcareous deposit takes on pol
ish and luster; and at this moment the
nucleus of the young pearl is seen only
as little black point, which soon dis
appears. The pearl has now beautiful
luster, and 1t keeps on growing in con
tact with the membranous pouch sur
rounding the ealcareous cyst.

The distome remains there until the
following summer. At the beginning
of the season the pearl loses its polish,
decays and falls to pieces. There may
remain only a gelatinous mass, and
these are known as gelatinous pearls.
The parasite then resumes its active
life, reproduces its kind, and the young
distomes become in their turn encysted,
forming new pearls.
There are pearls that escape their
physiological fate, and may grow to
larger size because their distomes are
dead, killed by another parasite, or be-
cause they are sterile.
SO the most beautiful pearl is moth
ing but the brilliant tomb of worm.
