DISCOURAGED.
Why the Precentor in the Puritan
Church Wanted to Resign.

The Puritan rejected the church
popery, and a precentor set the music
for the service. Hymn-books being
scarce in the early New England days,
hymns were read line by line by this
official, and the congregation sang
each line as it was read. The effect,
remarks the Youths Companion, was
one of mournful monotony and hor-
rible droning. That the precentor had
troubles of his own is revealed in the
quaint records of Judge Sewall.
Without the aid of notes or instru-
-hent to guide and steady, the con-
gregation would often get on one tune
and sing another. The judge, who
was a precentor of long and worthy
standing, makes these entries in his
diary:
In the morn 1 set York tune, and
in the second going over, the gallery
carried it into st. David's, which dis.
couraged me very much"
Il set Windsor tune, but the con.
gregation ran over into Oxford, do
what l would
Il set York tune, and the congrega
ton went out of it into ST. Davids
in the second going over. They did
the same three weeks before. 1t

DESPERATE FIGHTING.

SSrhe Men Threw Themselves ON the
BayOnets of the Enemy"
It is phrase merely to those of us
who do not know war at first hand,
Then the men threw themselves on
the bayonets of the enemy 1t sounds
desperate and dramatic, but this ac-
count in BlackwOod's Magazine by
naval sublieutena:2t at Port Arthur
shows what it really means:
For thirty long minutes a hand to
hand struggle had continued. Men
threw grenades i'll each others faces.
Half demented samurai flung them
selves upon the bayonets Of the dozen
Muscovites that held the traverse in
the trench. Who shall say that the day
OF the bayOnet is past? Although there
was not a breech that had not its car
fridge in the chamber, yet men reused
to the limit of their animal fury over
look the mechanical appliances that
make war easy. They thirsted to come
to grips, and to grips they came.
But it had to end The old colonel
had fought his way through his own
men to the very point of the struggle.
He stood on the parapet, and his rich
voice for second curbed the fury Of
the wild creatures struggling beside
him.

honorable comrades" he shouted.

His men heard him: his officers heard

The art Of rendering artificial aid to

plan and was in substance as follows:
Choose a large house with number or

Impress upon til. mind carefully all

he mind can readily go over the parts.
Then place a series of ideas in the
Iouse-the first in the hall, the next in

est. Now, when one wishes to recall
hese ideas in their proper succession,
commence going through the house, and

It is related that this mnemonic plan

THE TRIAL OF LOVE.

She had promised herself for life
to man whom she had met only
few days before. These days had
passed like q dream, in jest and
laughter, without another though:
than the pleasure of the moment. To
be sure, she had suspected how it
might end, but not that it should
happen SO soon. And not TIL the
promised word was spoken did she
awaken out OF her dream.
The drawing-room clock licked
harder than usual that afternoon,
and Elsie kept looking up from her
work to notice how the hands flew.
1t would soon strike six. But just be-
fore the stroke she cast her embroid-
cry away from her, sprang up and
rushed out without answering her
mothers astonished questions.
Only few steps beyond the gar
den she met him. He was punctual
to the minute and beamed with joy
because she came out to meet him.
But when she passed the gate and
proposed to him to walk little far
Their he looked at her in surprise.
She did not appear very anxious to
introduce her lover to her family.
Elsie hastily led the way across
the field and up the hill. She threw
herself down on a messy stone under
the spruces, and he stretched him
self on the heather beside her. The

Thurston lay back and roared at
the suggestion. The idea of Harvey
Thurston, who was regarded as one
Of the coming writer's, abandoning
his career to keep house for a type
writer was too much for his risibles.
Arthur offended, rose to his feet.
''I'm sure" he said, "you needn t
laugh. Lots and lots want to keep
house for my mama, but she says no.
They aren't as nice as you were,
though"
There was hurt accent to the
'you were" that brought Thurs
ston, penitent to his feet. ''It wasn't
that, DEAR" he said, as he swung
him to his knee. "I'm sure I'd very,
very much like to marry your ma
ma"
Il don't quite know" he said mus
musingly, ''you would let me live
with you, wouldn't you?"
Certainly" he said tenderly;
why not?"
''You see,' he explained, there
was man, long time ago, wanted
to marry my mama, but he wouldn't
because | was baby, and he didn't
like children, he said. He wrote
things like you and mama, and he
said I'd have to go to my grand
mama because he couldn't write with
me around"
SIS your mama Mrs. Thorndyke?"
He gave little cry Of disappoint-
ment Now you've gone and spoiled
It ALL" he declared. "How did you
know"
For a moment Thurston was ST
lent. He could not tell this little
child that for four years he had
lived loveless life because he had
asked the woman he loved to sacri-
fee her little son to his career. He
had heard vaguely that she, too, had
found success as writer, but he had
never met her. For answer he caught
the child up. Come" he said, as he
locked the bungalow door, ''I, too,
am lost; help me TO find myself"
And through the afternoon sun
the two trudged across the sand
dunes with a common destination,
one regretting that he had been
found, the man fearful that he had
found himself too late.

stone was large enough to hold two,
but she did not make room for him.
Are you very sure" she began,
breaking dry twig into tiny bits
'are you really, really sure that you
love me?"
At first he looked serious, but
then burst out laughing in his
bright, jolly way.
Sure of it? But there is. surely

mo. But you don't know me.
What is it about me you lover"
Everything"
But why should she be the only
one to doubt and worry? And SO to
disturb his composure she began to
set forth her faults. She unveiled
every mad trait she had. She was
quick tempered and a scold; she
was envious and coquettish; she was
stupid and ignorant. She sat and
reckoned herself up in a serious
voice; she spoke frankly, and she
honestly wished to be believed. But
the smile did not leave his lips nor
did he take his eyes from her face
At each new confession he simply
repeated
Eyes, I knew that BEFORE"
Finally the blood rushed to her
head. 1t annoyed her to find she
couly not convince him. He sat there
in the secure belief that she wished
only to humble herself because Of
her great happiness. Could he not
comprehend at all that he had done
wrong in surprising her as he had
and that a person cannot be sure of
love so loosely rooted?
''No, you do not know me-" said
she. when I answered you as did
this morning, it was because-well,
not wholly because-but perhaps
partly because-because of hard
ships at home"
There was a cracking of twigs.
He had turned on his arm and was
gazing at her without a word, but
the color was gone from his face.
She need worry no more about his
not understanding.
There came over her a feeling of
unspeakable regret. With a few
words she had destroyed something
she could never get back again And
this something, now it was lost,
seemed dearer to her than all else in
the world She did not know him
well.
"Ah, you are afraid of hardships!"
- ha FL

business nan, and my position is not
firmly scared. One day there may
be money, another debts, and upon

The messy stone stood empty. She
side him. And she took his hand and
hid her eyes in it.
1T makes no difference to me, no
difference at all, If I have to bear
hardships with YOU" she said softly.
His eyes came back from the far
fields. It was only cloud that had
passed over the sun.
He understood now that the little
bird he had wished to charm for
himself had been frightened only by
a too sudden approach, but that it
now came Of it's own accord and that
all he had to do was to open his
arms.
And she-she knew she must love
him whether she could tell why or
not, whether it led to joy or sorrow.
In a little while they went back
the way they came, but this time
they did not pass the garden gate
They opened it and went into the
house to her mother
