ready gone to the sentry's head, he
would not have consented, but as IT
was he nodded acquiescence while he
took another swallow.
Gabriel. having deity loosened the
ropes which bound them, placed the
tray on the chest which held the
candle and politely invited the pris-
oners to partake. This done, he
walked again to the door, the long
white cloth which had been doubled
over the tray in his hands.
He stood with his eyes fixed in ap-
parently dreamy earelessness upon
the soldier.
The opportune moment had ar
rived. The sentry stopped to pour
himself more wine. Gliding softly
behind him, the black skilfully threw
the cloth over his head and face and
drew the ends taut in the back. The
soldier, taken by surprise, would
have hurled himself upon his assail-
ant, but the latter was too quick for
him, and had him upon the floor be-
fore his brain, benumbed by the
drugged liquor, could appreciate just
what had happened.
Worthington took in the situation
instantly and sprang to Gabriefs aid
while the general followed with the

THE LITTLE WHITE CHURCH.

The woodpeckers tap at its weather-worn
gables,
The pigeons fit in at its belfry above;
The swallows build nests in the roofs of
it's stables,
And round it the bees seek the blossoms
they love
The green-plumed old elms stand like
sentries before it,
Behind it the willows droop drowsy and
still,
And gently the breeze from the ocean
sings Ger it
The little white Westinghouse under
the hill.
The golden-barred sunbeams, new-minted
and yellow,
Like falchions flash in at the window :
queer panes,
To fill the old church with a radiance
mellow,
And cut through the dust-drift fair star
powdered lanes.
They gild the high pews with a glittering
splendor.
With halOs of glory they dapple the
wall
And on the quaint pulpit their touch falls
tender
And soft as the peace that lies over it
all
How often I've gazed at those bright
lances streaming.
And fancied them ladders to mansions
of joy,
AS, in the old pew by, the aisle l sat
dreaming
The wonderful dreams of a light-heart-
ed boy,
NV eyes do but close, and again to their
places
Come trooping the shadowy figures I
The forms, well-remembered. the dearly
loved faces.
The faces and forms of the blest long
ago.
I hear round about me the hymn book $
light rustic,
The lavendered gowns scent the fan
driven breeze,
And, through the faint murmur and soft
Sabbath hustle,
The sermon drones on like the buZZng
of bees.
Beside me the dear sweet-faced mother
is sitting,
The white-haired old grandsre, serene
and devout,
The brother with thoughts meath his
curls idly fitting
To where the blithe bucbird is singing
without.
Dear little home church! tbs a beautiful
story,
The picture you frame in the sunbeam's
red gold;
For through IL is shining the God-giVen
glory,
The rest and the peace of those Sundays
of old.
And though in grand temples that tower
high above you.
Far. far from your portals they wOr-
ship at will
While memory lasts all your children
shall love you,

hill

THE SIGN OF THE FISH.
How 1t Came to Be Used as
symbol by the Early
Christian Church.

The symbols upon early Christian
monuments, of which so many have
been discovered this last century, are
curious and interesting, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger One Of
the most frequent is that of the fish.
The figure of the fish is used, and
and also the Greek word for fish,
says DIR. A. W. Patten, who has
looked into the subject. Ramsay. in
bis excavations in Asia Minor, has
found some very important inscrip-
tons in which the fish signs are fire.
quent.
But why was it that the early Chris
tians used the sign? The reason will
appear when we remember that they
found in the letters of the Greek
word fish an acrostic on the name of
the Savior. The word is ''ichthus.''
Each letter of the word in the
original Greek begins one of the
words in the following phrase:
Jesus Christ, Son of God. the
Savior
So the word ''ichthus" came to
stand for Christian. and it was used
as a mark of Christianity. 1t was
not only sculptured on burial monu-
ments. but came to be used on vari-
Gus utensils. A great many terra
Gotta lamps have been found,
especially at Spalato. on which is
found the impress of the fish. Many
of these ''ichthus'' lamps are found
also at Rome. The word fish came
to be used also to describe a Chris
tan, and TO call man fish was
equivalent to calling him a Christian

handed manner to diveSt Gen. Pierce
of his coat and thrust the British hat
and coat upon him.
'sThe breeches will do" he said;
"they. will not be noticed in the dim
light, and with Bessemer's order in
your hand you are likely to be passed
without too much inspection. At any
rate, there is no time@to change
He pushed the general towards the
head of the stairs, and the old man,
utterly bewildered, +, was passive in
his grasp. Then suddenly rousing
himself, he threw off the compelling
hands and faced the younger man in
a fury.
"Why, why, boy, you fool, you, do
you think I'm going to escape in
clothes provided for your
General, listen to me. You know
that / am taller than any man in
Bessemer's troop. If I attempt to
go, shall be stopped, and it will not
only mean death for both of us, but
compromise for Miss Ellery and
possibly death for Gabriel here as
well. If you ma the attempt. you
have every prospect of success and
can then gather some of our brave
fellows to come here and rescue me
before sunrise, the hour which we
were told Bessemer had fixed for our
execution"
AS he finished speaking Worthing-
ton stepped back into the room they
had formerly occupied, and closing
the door, drew a heavy chest across
it, thus effectually shutting Pierce
out.
The old man perceived with rising
choler the ruse the younger had en-
ployed. By imprisoning himself thus
in the room he cut off the others
arguments and made it imperative
for him to GO or for both to be left
to their fate.
Gabriel, liking the change of plan
no better than the general, never
theless hurried him forward. ''If
Massa Godfrey won't go, an you is,
you bettah hurry, sab. Oar amt no
time to stan agitatin' heah no

Still reluctant. the old man de

An Honor to Denocracy.

Ever since Judge Parker's telegram
declaring that the presidency must come
to him right or he would not haye it. his
greatest peril has been that of an anti
climax. Could he hold the ear Of the
country which he had so instantaneously
gained? Or would his act of bold initia-
tive be followed by timidities of speech?
His highly dramatic first appearance on
the national stage made It the harder.
yet the more necessary. to fix the eye Of
the spectators when he stepped forth q
scond time. But all doubts Of his abii-

Thus the two sets of doubtful states
comprise 73 votes. Democracy requires
Al of these doubtful votes in order to
win.
Several combinations, easily within
reason and the possibilities, make up
the required number. Let democracy
carry the first set of doubtful states and
it needs but nine more votes
Let democracy carry Wisconsin, in
the second set. and it could win without
Delaware or Nevada in the first set.
Let democracy carry Wisconsin and
Colorado, in the second set, and it could
win without Connecticut or West Vir-
ginia, or Delaware and Nevada, in the
first set.
A liberal estimate, conceding Illinois
and Indiana to the republicans, gives
them 205 electoral votes. Thus they re-
Quire "a additional votes to win. If the
republicans lose the first set of doubtful
states, then they cannot afford to lose
more than seven votes in the second set
of doubtful states. The loss of Colora-
do and Idaho or Montana or oregon or
Utah would be fatal The loss of Wis
consin would be fatal
The st. Louis Republic Says that in
order to win, the republicans must hold
together the sure" states, and must
carry the entire west with the exception
of Nevada
Upon the whole the democrats may be
said to have better than an even chance.
The chance would be about eyen-the
republicans having 2O5 against democ-
