How We Learn,


Great truths are dearly bought. The com.
mon truth,
Such as men give and take from day
to day,
Comes in the common walk OF easy life.
Blown by the careless wind. across our
way.
Sreat truths are greatly won, not found
by chance,
Nor waited on the breath of summer
dream:
But grasped in the great, struggle of the
SOUL
Hard bufreting with adverse wind and
stream.
But in the day OF conflict. fear and grief.
When the strong hand OF God put forth
In might,
Ploughs up the subsoll Of the stagnant
heart
And brings the imprisoned truth-seed
to the light
wrung from the troubled spirit in hard
hours,
OF weakness, solitude. perchancs of
pain.
Truth springs like harvest from the WELL
ploughed field,
And the soul feels II has not wept In
vain.

Puddle Luck.

But only the season prior every one
had looked upon the place just as
melancholy ruin, and old residents
would tell the story Of its ancient
building in the time Of William and
Mary. The names of those sovereigns
were then associated with it, but the
vicissitudes Of its history have each
given 1t a different title. During the
revolution 1t was called Hancock, and
when rebuilt in 1903. the name was
again changed to Constitution.
From its exposed situation at the
mouth OF the Piscataqua, Newcastle
has always been not only a place Of
danger from attack by hostile armies,
but to mariners at every season its
shoals are to be dreaded. Sailing par
ties know how easily the squalls come
upin this vicinity, and dread the ap-
proach. And yet for years the islands
had no lighthouse. At last the Fort
Point lighthouse was installed, an in
ner light for Portsmouth harbor.
It was during the administration of
Gov. John Wentworth that the first
one was built, in I'LL. Before that a
lantern hung from the Flagstaff Of the
fort was the only beacon for sailors.
When the governor, in his most elo-
quent phrases, appealed to the assem-
bly,, there was talk Of "squandering

OLD NEW ENGLAND.
Newcastle To-day Small Fishing Community, Has in the
Past Played Important Part in the Lie
of This Great Nation
Especial Correspondence.)

II you say to some people that New
castle, N. H., is place of historic as
sociation, that once played an import
ant part in the life of the nation, they
laugh at you because the place is so
small. That compact little fishing
community is ludicrously diminutive
with our present standard Of national
expansion, but, doubtless, the very
quaintness and charm which con-
stantly attract visitors from the big
rushing world is survival Of the
past, or better still, we like to think
the little town has yet the simple and
wholesome life which made it once
a stronghold Of free government.
AS a military outpost the tiny town
of Newcastle has always played a part
in both colonial and national inter-
sests. Doubtless that is the source of
it's name, for not only is the island
grit about with a rockbound shore and
buttressed into the sea as If built by
nature as fortress, but it has nearly
always been surmounted by walled
fertilization of some kind, which is
part Of its picturesque features.
There was early built "an earthwork
with certain great guns" but regu.
lar fertilization was erected there as
early as 1888. There was great stir
in Newcastle when, in December, 1774,
the Kings colors were hauled down
from this fort, and 1t is said that the
ammunition which supplied the con-
tinentals at Bunker Hill was stored
here.
The site has been alternately forth
fed and neglected from the earliest
times up to the recent Spanish war,
when the fear of an attack from the
Spanish feet frightened all the sea-
coast. At that time the ruins of Fort
Constitution were again rehabilitated
and the soldiers stationed there made
things lively for the quaint old town.

Jack Caruther's walked steadily
along in the dusk Of the summers

bundle, until he reached the residence
Of MuFiel's uncle. Muriel herself stood
at the gate.

by way of explanation. do you know

"Muriel! Muriel!" said Caruthers,
thickly.
He thrust the crmpled note into her

She stood for a moment, with
averted face, irresolute, the evening
breeze tossing the lace scarf at her
throat, her white gown drifting about
her.

Caruthers could not understand for
the life of him what Muriel saw in that
boy to be SO fond of him.

from the room beyond. He rushed
toward the sound and a moment later
emerged with a bundle OF something
in long, white skirts and topped by a
bald little head. It clutched tightly a
bottle half filled with milk.
He stopped mechanically and picked
up the crumpled note that had fallen
on the floor, and spread It out so
he could read 1t again. At the bot.
tom there was scrawled a line he had
failed to see the first time:

Numbed, dazed, his mind refused to
grasp the situation. He raised his
eyes DULY. The small figure, still
hugging its source Of sustenance,
dropped against his shoulder asleep.
His half conscious vision halted at

Annabel had always kept standing on

But Murlel Wyndham-well, Harry
did not like her for one thing. Be-
sides there had been some one else.
Muriel had been widowed at 10.

Jack had never been able to ex.

utterly charming and universally we'll

deed, Harry himself had never ex-

when Muriel was the subject, a fit
