Needed No Advice,


1t was a balmy spring afternoon.
The foliage on the trees never looked
more beautiful, and truly the Wissa-
hickon was a place for the aesthetic
in nature. It was Sunday and the
stiffness of the Sabbath pervaded the
entire atmosphere. All the environ
ments were conducive to quiet and
rest, to beauty and serenity.
Calmly seated on the stump of
tree, a little fellow had thrown out
line into the rushing waters and was
anxiously awaiting a first bite.
Slowly and apprehensively a lone
woman was seen coming up the east
side Of the creek. Beilolding this dem
tzen of the woods at his work, she
pounced upon him.
Little boy" said she, II have lost
nv way. Can you tell me the road to
Manayunk?"
"Yes'm," chirped the fisher. keep
right on up this road, an you'll cum
to it."
Then, not satisfied with having found
her direction, the interloPer pegan
again:
But say, little boy. don't you know
this is Sunday"
"Yes'm."
But don't you know you shouldn't
fish on the Sabbath"
mo, ma'am."
"Well, then, here's my card. You
come around to my house, and I'll
teach you the road to heaven"
"Ah. 20 long; you don't even know
the road to anayunk!"-Philadelph

THE BURIAL OF MOSES.

On this side Jordan's wave,
In a vale in the land of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave;
But no man dug that sepulchre,
And no man saw 1t e'er,
For the angels of God upturned the sod,
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
But no man heard the tramping,
Or saw the train go forth;
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on oceans
cheek
Grows into the great sum-
Noiselessly as the spring time
Her crown Of verdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves
So, without the sound Of music
Or voice Of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountain
crown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On gray Beth-peor's height,
Out of his rocky eyrie,
Looked on the wondrous sight;
Perchance the lion, stalking,
Still shuns the hallowed spot:
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
Lo. when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muff1ed drum,
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
-
steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest Of the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an honored place,
With costly marble dressed,
In the great minister transept,
Where lights like glories fall,
And the choir sings, and the organ
rings
Along the emblazoned wall.
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword;
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed word;
And never earth's philosopher
Traced, with his golden pen.
On the deathless page, truths half so
| sage
AS he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor?
The hillside for his pail;
To lie in state while angels walt
With stars for tapers tall;
And the dark rock pines, like tossing
plumes,
Over his bier to wave:
And Gods own hand in that lonely
land,
To lay him in the grave
In that deep grave. without a name,
Whence his uncoff1ned clay
Shall break again-O wondrous
thought!
Before the judgment day,
And stand, with glory wrapped around
On the hills he never trod,
And speak Of the strife that won our
life
With the incarnate Son Of God.
o lonely tomb in Moab's land,
o dark Beth-peors hill,
Speak to these curious hearts of ours,
And teach them to be still.
God hath his mysteries Of grace
Ways that we cannot tell;
He hides them deep, like the secret
sleep
Of him he loved so WE'LL"

BArcHELLER's STORY OF FARMER
In quaint accent and bucolic gestures
Irving Batcheller, author of "Dri and
I" and other we'll known sketches OF
country life in America, told a story al
the last dinner Of the Dartmouth clup
which was the masterpiece OF the
evening for brevity.
An old farmer was hunting with
Batcheller. He was taciturn and mon
osyllabic. Batcheller tried in a hun
dred ways to make him say more thar
ten words at a stretch. This is what
happened at the final attempt:
Did you ever have any experience
with an angry bull. Mr.. Smith,"
Silence for a minute.
NO"
Five minutes silence, succeeded by
did once. The bull ram"
Batcheller remained silent, but look
ed a question for details.
After another long silence: $50 did
I. Had the bulls tall
In the silence that followed the two
men saw and shot brace OF birds
Batchellers bird had no sooner faller
to the ground than the farmer said
Bull ran side of tree"
$50? What happened?"
After ten minutes: Il ran totheI
side. Had his tail"
well, what then?"
There was a full half hours pause
and the two were in sight Of home
when the agriculturist said with ar
effort, Had more Of the tail than the
darned bull had."-New York Daily

THE RUSSIANS WAY IN ASIA.
He conquers, Sword In One Hand
Sugar In the Other.


1.-THE Russians" said man who has
travelled widely in Manchuria, "hold
the sword in the right hand and bit
Of sugar in the left, and when they
have done with the one they begin
with the other"
This has always been the policy of
Russia in Asia, and it explains why
she holds her vast Oriental conquests
with such apparent ease and is less
troubled by rebellions than any other
great power governing many subject
races.
When the Russians seized Manchu-
ria, nearly 5000, Chinese perished In
the massacre at Blagovestchensk. In
the grim euphemism Of one Of the
cars generals, they went away"
But so indulgent were the authorities
after the massacre that In a . few
months all the Chinese merchants who
had fled from the town, expecting new
er to return, were back doing business
at their old stands, and many more had
focked in to compete with them under
the protection of the just laws and
paternal government of the Russians.
The atrocities committed by the
Russian troops during the Pekin cam
paign. and after, shocked the civilized
world: but they did not shock the Chi
nese or antagonize the Chinese gov
ernment. The Chinese do not resent
the brutality Of the Russians as they
resent far milder punishment at the
hands of other nations. In that res
pect they resemble other Asiatics who
have felt the scourge of the cars SOL
diers.
War Is war to the Russian. and he
takes care Ito make it helr' while 1t
lasts; but when it is over he Is hail
fellow-well-m with his conquered
foe, and treats him with rough kind
ness which wipes out from the Asiatic
mind even the memory of ruthless
massacres.
you Anglo -Saxons are fond of talk
| ing about benevolent assimilation,
said a former captain in the Russian
| army, who is now living in New York,
| but if you want to see it really put
into practice, you ought to travel
through Russian Asia.
wherever you went from the Cau-
casus to Vladivostok, you would find
the natives living happily under our
rule and becoming thoroughly Rus
sianized if they had not already be-
| come so. AS soon as we have taught
them to fear and respect us, we mix
with them freely.
I'VE do not hold ourselves aloof as If
we were made of a different kind of
clay and were altogether superior be-
ings, as other foreigners do. We are
half Orientals ourselves, of course, and
naturally do not share the color pre-
JUDGES of the American, the English
man and the German.
1--WE freely intermarry with the
Asiatics, among whom it may be our
destiny to live, and we encourage them
to rise to the highest civil and military
positions in the cars service, if they
are worthy to fill them.
THUS it is that our Asiatic subjects
come more Russian than the Russians.
They are fond of giving a Russian
twist to their names as soon as they
enter the cars service.

Gen. Lazareff, commanded Russian
