among the few most important ones

was this startling success of Jones
that inspired Catherine of Russia to
enunciate the doctrine Of the rights
of neutrals in maritime affairs. and
the tardy acquiescence of England
many years later in that now universal
principle, was brought about by the
blow struck by John Paul Jones off
Marlborough Head.
spet. "a. 1sss.--This day in 1865 is
sometimes called Black Friday, by
reason of an attempt on the part of
syndicate headed by Jay Gould and
James Fisk Jr.. to create a corner in
the gold market Never before had
there been so fearful a determination
carried to such a disastrous extent.
The value of greenbacks had been
steadily rising since the war closed.
The operators in this panic undertook
to secure as much as possible of the
S15,O0O,OOO in gold held by New York
banks. and hoping that the United
States treasury, which held about
Sl0O,00O,OOO, would not dare to afford
any relief, endeavored to raise the
price of gold very high, sell out, and
pocket the gains. They began their
scheme, and kept purchasing success
fully for several days. On Thursday
1T was generally known that the two
schemers were going to force the price
the next day, if possible, from IA to
200. The gold room of New York, on
the morning Of Friday, was a scene
which beggars description, in the ex-
element and almost frenzy at times
during the bidding. The price was
steadily rising. and the bankers were
steadily buying. The persons who
hod Of
reserved it till this moment, made
great sums. The price finally reached
100. One o. two men went crazy, and
had to be taken away. The streets
around were packed with a mass of
struggling. pushing men. The ex-
element bade fair to continue until
all business would have to be sus-
pended, because no one could tell what
price to ask. This result already be-
gan to be felt. Everything was dark.
But word came in the midst of the
fury that Secretary Boutwell, of the
United States treasury, had placed
$4,000,000 in gold on the market This
broke the attempt. The price at once
fell rapidly in a few minutes, and the
operators had to forsake their scheme.
But they did not come out of it with
injury to themselves, for, 1t is said,
they saved 81, 100000 from the gains
they had begun to accumulate by the
plan. They did not, however, get the
millions they had hoped to obtain.

''Tell my sister not to weep for me, and
sob with dropping head.
When troops come marching home again
with glad and gallant tread,
But to look upon them proudly, with a
calm and steadfast eye.
For her brother was soldier, too and
not afraid to die;
And If comrade seek her love, 1 ask
her in my name,
To listen to him kindly, without regret or
shame,
And to hang the old sword in its place
(my fathers sword and mine).
For the honor of old Bingen-dear Bingen
on the Rhine.
There's another-not sister; in the
happy days gone by
You'd have known her by the merriment
that sparkled In her eye;
Too innocent for coquetry-too fond for
idle scorning-

sometimes heaviest mourning.

And down the pleasant river, and I'D the

In mine

His trembling voice grew faint and
hoarse, his grasp was childish
weak
His eyes put on a dying Iook-he sighed,
and ceased to speak,
His comrade bent to lift him, but the
spark of life had fled
The Soldier Of the Legion In a foreign
land Is dead!
And the soft moon rose UP slowly, and
calmly she looked down
On the red sand of the battlefield. with
bloody corses strewn:
Yes, calmly on the dreadful scene her pale
light seemed to shine,
AS 1t shown on distant Bingen-fair

A soldier Of the Legion lay dying in

There was lack of woman's nursing, there
was dearth of woman's tears;
But comrade stood behind him, while
his life-blood ebbed awey,

And when he died, and left US to divide

kept my fathers sword;
And with boyish love hung it where the
bright light used to shine,
On the cottage wall at Bingen-calm

ABSTINENCE FROM EVIL.

The International Sunday school les
son for Sept. 20 is found in 1. Peter,
w., Ill. The golden text is Ephesians
", IS. This important part of the New
Testament was probably written by
Simon Peter, near the close of his
eventful life. 1t Is a hopeful letter of
Christian comfort, written to both
Jewish and Gentle believers, in the
provinces of Asia Minor, who appar-
emily were suffering persecution for
their faith. 1t was probably written
at Rome. 1t is very likely that Peter
had come to Rome to visit Paul in his
imprisonment, and, as Silvanus (Silas)
was going to Asia Minor as PauTs del
egate, the other apostle took advan-
tage of the opportunity to send his
greetings and encouraging exhortations
TO the Christians there who were in
trouble. The letter does not discuss
doctrines, but is full of practical adj
vice for everyday life. The theme of
the letter is 'the true Christian In
suffering"
The best protection in the world
against sin and temptation, suffering
and despair, is mind like Christ's-
serene, patient and unselfish. Suffer-
ing often acts like purifying fire, con-
Stunning the dross of selfishness and
sin in a human life. The Greek word
revelings in the text refers especially
to village merrymaklngS, with which
were associated the unrestrained i'm
Inoralities of heather festivals. The
difficulty of living a pure Christian
life in the midst of such surroundings
must have been much greater than to-
day. Yet in many quarters wine bib
bings, revelings and carousings are
still popular, and We need to be re-
minded that such, customs are utterly
out of harmony with 1.-The mind of
Christ" and cannot be INDUCED in
without serious consequences. We no.
tice that Indulgence in strong drink
leads to the whole list of vices men
toned here. 1t is the mother of crimes
and the breeder of vices. George Dana
3oardman pointedly says: "As Bun
vans Pilgrim is represented In the ear
her portion of his journey as always
carrying upon his back huge bundle.
of sins, so each traveller in the drunk
ards broad road to death is bearing a
great bundle of woes. Among them
IRE losses of time, of talent, of purity,
of clean conscience, of self-respect,
of honor Of religion, of the soul"
When good people earnestly compete
with the saloon in Offering hospitality

BEARING WITNESS.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
sept. 20 is found in Acts, ", 27-32. q
discussion of ''Why and how we should
pear witness for Christ" Witness bear
ing for Christ is very different TODAY
from what it was in the time of the
apostles In the early Christian CEN
turtles and amid the denominatfonal
controversies and antagonisms of the
later centuries. Then to bear witness
for Christ meant the possibility of Sc
r1ouS persecution and even nnartyrdom.
But Christian men and women did not
falter in their witnessing for these rea-
sons.
Today we are not called upon to wit
ness for Christ under the same cir
cumstances or at the risk of the apos-
ties and early Christians, and vet the
DUTY or witnessing for Christ is Just
as incumbent upon us as upon our an
ceSlors in the faith. Methods have
changed, but the thing itself has not
changed. There are many reasons why
We should bear witness:
L. We should bear witness for Him
because We have been commander bv
Christ to let our light shine, to con-
Iess Him before men, and we also
ought to obey God. While there are
no men today to command us not 20
teach in His name, there are often
other things to discourage us in cur
witnessing, but they should not be
allowed to have dominion over US.
2. We should bear witness because
of what Christ has done. He has died
to save the world from sin, and the
world needs to know the facts Of His
life, death, resurrection. ascension and
Of His power to save. And, IL the
world does know, the church must give
forth this knowledge. and every Chris
tan should Go his part as a witness
bearer.
g. We should witness for Christ be-
cause we Will want Him to confess us.
He has promised to confess US if we
confess Him. but declares that He will
not confess us before our Father in
heaven If we 60 not confess Him upon
ca ,stis

THE CALL OF JEREMIAH.

The Epworth League topic for Sept.
20 is found in Jeremiah l., 40.
The experience of jeremiah is not
an unnatural one. Unusual it may
nave been, but 1t was normal to our
nature and should be common. The
physical system must come to birth
or it has no individual existence in the
physical world. The mind must like
wise come to individual exercise if
it's powers or irnbecility and idiocy
bind fast what intelligence and ra-
tionality alone could set free: So must
the powers of spirit have birth into
conscious, free exercise or the soul
can neither see nor hear nor feel the
presence Of the Divine One. "Ye must
be born from above" This is the door
OF entrance into all heavenly realities
here and now, hereafter and ever. .st'tf
Jeremiah heard God speak, felt Him
touch his mouth. Then he could speak
also. He understood's Gods meaning.
he thought His thought. felt the thrill
of divine feeling and thrust Of infinite
energy. He could interpret eternal
truth into language of human duty and
happiness because he had come to
himself. That is, God had come to
him and into him. God called and he
answered. God put His words into
his mouth and this made him a pro-
phet-one who speaks before and for
God. :,
In some way, somewhere, at some
time, the Divine Spirit calls every hui
man spirit to be His prophet
This opening of new world is a
real discovery which each soul must
make for itself. No other eyes can see
1t for us, none others ever see it just
as we do. 1t is our discovery. Others
must explore for themselves and see
their worlds for themselves. We see
with our own eyes. The new idea,
the higher ideal, the thrill of emotion
and impulse to action, the choice of the
better and grasp Of the good are more
than sight of an outer world Of beauty
and value, are more than insight into
the realm Of personal spirit in self
with all its range Of worth. They are
revelations of Spirit revealing Him
self through things to spirits who can
think and feel and do and be like
Him.
