The Hand of Death

Sorelv 7 labored, and watched each

Fighting till dawn for my flock with the
ancient shepherd-Death,
And glad was my heart when at last
the stackyard again I crossed,
And thought Of the strife we'll DER with
never a yeanling lost.

Afraid of I knew not what sore spenG

Then. setting a quaking. hand to the
latch, l opened the door;
And: shaking the cold from my hearf,
stumbled across the floor
Unto the bed where she lay, calm-bos~
oned in dreamless rest;
And the wailing baby clutched in yaisi
at the lifeless breast.
T looked on the cold, white face; then
sank with a cry by the bed,
And thought how the hand Of Death
had stricken my whole JOY dead--
NV flock, my world and my heart-with
nv love, at single blow:
And I cried: II, too. will die, and 10
And f fhat the Ded touch iIe ON my my cheek

Does the devil enjoy seeing us
make mistakes? Systematic fore
thought is an enemy of mistakes.
Amos r. Wells tells the following in
the Young Peoples Weekly:
There was sold not long ago in New
York city what is probably the most
expensive land ever sold anywhere;
certainly the most expensive ever sold
in New York.
It was tiny strip Of land, and, in
it's widest part, it measured only
seven-eighths of an inch. It was forty
feet long. 1t contained, in all, only
seventeen and a half square inches.
1t couldn't be seen on the map except
with microscope.
Yet it twas undoubtedly there. 1t
lay alongside an expensive plot OF
ground that was to be used for a
dwelling. By some error in calcula-
ton it had not been included in the
purchase, and it had to be bought.
"Why must it be bought" you ask.
'No one could do anything with so
small piece of land.''
Indeed, you are wrong. An evil
minded man. could do much mischief
with it. That seventeen and half
square inches, you must remember,
reaches up into the air as high as the
sky. He could raise on it an iron plate
that would cut off air and light and
view from the forty feet on both sides
of it, and utterly ruin the finest
houses that might be built there.
Just such abominable things have been
done. So the land had to be bought.
Fifty. dollars was the price decided
upon as fair, and it was promptly paid
That was at the rate of $3.50 square
inch. At this rate the average city

feast was spread, waiting only sig
nal to fall on and STAY their hosts.
But a number Of the women OF
Seoul had become acquainted with
the conspiracy. Loyal to their mon
arch and unable to warn him in time
they went in body to the palace and
gained admittance into the ante
chamber. Selling the officers cloaks,
they entered the banqueting hall un-
observed; some, stealing noiselessly
up behind the officers as they sat at
the feast, flung the cloaks over their
heads and pinioned them(in the folds,
while others ran to the bewildered
king, hurriedly warned him of the
plot, and spirited him safely away
before the baffled conspirators could
release themselves from the grasp of
their brave captors. In token of his
gratitude to his loyal female sub
iects, the king decreed that in future
the Korean women should wear the
military cloak thrown over their
heads as a mark of honor.-Capt. Cas-
serly in Macmillan's Magazine. 49,.

Softly she slept in the night-her new
born babe at her breast,
With tiny dimpling hand to the yield
ing bosom pressed
AS I rose from her side to go-though
sore was my heart to stay
To the case of the laboring ewes that
else would have died ere day.
Banking the +peats, on the hearth, I
80. reached from the rafter"hook-
The lanthorn and kndled the flame, and,
taking my plaid and crook,
I lifted the latch. and turned once more
to see if she slept:
And looked on the slumber OF peace;
then into the night l stepped
Into the swirling dark of the driving,
And a world that seemed to sway and
slip from under my feet
AS if rocked by the wind that swept the
roaring starless night
Yet fumed in a fury vain at my Ian
thorn's shielded light.
Clean-drenched in the first wild gust I
battled across the garth,
And passed through the clashlng gate
the light of the glowing hearth
And the peace of love in my breast the
craven voices to Quell-
ASH set my teeth to the wind and turn
ed to the open fell.
Over the tussocks Of bent I strove till I
NS numbed that they scarce could hold
NV staff or loosen the pen; but l heard
a lambs weak cries ;.

Mai. Richard Church of Rochester.
He is grandson Of John B. Church,
to whose house the body of Hamilton
was taken from Mr.. Bayard's home in
Greenwich village.
The history of the pistols is inter-
esting. Mr.. Church purchased them
in London, and it is said they were
made by a celebrated gunsmith. W..
H. Mortimer, gunmaker to George ILL.
They we're used in the duel between
Aaron Burr and Mr.. Church in 1872
and it is stated that they next figured
in the fatal meeting between Phlllp
H. Hamilton, the eldest. son OF Alex
ander Hamilton, and George l.. Fac
ker, who fought at Weehawken on
Nov. %, 1901, young Hamilton 'belng
shot in the right side and dying the
next day. ~.~... - W.. +s.,.
AS Alexander Hamilton was the
challenged party, he had the cholce
of weapons, and it is but natural tnat
his brother-in-law's famous pistols
were used again. After the duel they
were returned to Mr.. Church ana
have been carefully preserved in the
family ever since.
When the railroad was cut. through
in the early seventies the last vestlse
of the old dueling ground was obllt-
Grated. A large red sandstone ooul-
der had up to that time stood near
the spot, and it was said that upon
this boulder the head OF Hamilton
rested after he was shot. This orlgl-
nal boulder may still be seen in the
little Enclosure on the high cliff, over
100 feet above the old fighting place:
Efforts have from time to time
been made to erect suitable monu.
ment near the site to Hamilton, but
nothing except a very modest monu.

semi-circular plat of ground has been
set apart in the locality now known
as Highwood, and which may be
reached in about ten minutes from

The dress of the Korean women is
very quaint. Long, voluminous white
cotton dresses reaching to the anle
show baggy trousers underneath,
which, ending in slippers with up
turned toes, give them somewhat the
appearance of Turkish women. Over
the head is thrown long cloak gener-
ally green, fastened under the neck,
the sleeves, through which the arms
are never passed, hanging down over
the shoulders. BY this cloak hangs
tale, historical and interesting.
Once upon a time king of Korea
invited the officers of his army to a
banquet in the palace at Seoul, in
complete ignorance that a military
conspiracy, aimed at his throne and
life, was afoot. The conspirators, who
were among the guests, resolved to
seize their opportunity to murder the
king during the progress of the ban
uuet. On entering the palace the Of
ficers deposited their large military
cloaks in an ante-chamber and took
