THE STORY.


srHE hills about Bethlehem were green
and beautiful chat fresh spring
morning. Here and there amidst the
rolling carpet of green bright-faced
flowers all glistening with the dew
Turned to greet the sun as it burst
above the tree-skirted hilltop. The
glad songs Of the birds f1oated out on
the gentle breezes as they skinned
fine surface of the meadows or rested
on some leafy bird swing temptingly
offered by the friendly trees.
All nature seemed to be rejoicing,
and the heart of young David re-
snonded to the glad note as he led
hia sheen out to the green pasture
ana beside the still waters. They knew
and loved the lightsome, CHEEKY ring
oe that strong young voice, end gladly
Followed where he led, and tben grazed
contentedly while he sat under the
shade Of some olive or fig tree and
nlaved on his harp the wild, sweet
music he had learned from the rip
ming waters and from the birds that
came to accept his challenge of song
and pour out their little souls in re-
snonse to the vibrant notes of his
harp. and the clear. full tones-of his
voice
on this particular morning David
was unusually glad. just why he could
not tell. save that the morning was
81 fresh and sweet. the air so full OF
fragrance and natures rare music;
the sheep and lambs so full of life
ana glad to leave the corral and gain
the freedom of the hillside pasturage
This morning as he had left the
house messenger had come announc
ing the coming of Samuel, the proph
et of Israel, to hold sacrifice and
feast at Bethlehem. His mother had
wanted him to remain to the feast
but his older brothers had objected
declaring that it was more important
Chat the sheep be put out to pasture
and that anyway he was not old
enough to share in such occasions
The flrst tinge OF disappointment
which lie hac felt had given place t.
feeling of lght-hearted gladness. q

Tale of Heroic Devotion That Is Hard
to Parallel.

Courage is not an attribute peculiar
to the white man, nor is self-sacrif1ce
the preroga i've of civilization. In j..
G.. Ffrth's "Nation-Making' is told
story as touching, in its brave devo-
tion, as any tale of the Victoria cross.
The incident occurred at Orakan,
where the English soldiers had just
defeated the Maoris. A little party
of colonial troops, pursuing fugitives,
came upon three natives, two old
men and one young fellow.
The youth. seeing the soldiers, drop
ped on one knee and aimed with his
gun at the advancing party, which
halted a moment, while the cid men

had thrown away their firearms in or

missed. Withou. discharging his gun,

The Cow as a Machine.

As an illustration of the efficiency
of a good cow, as a machine fer the
manufacture of milk and butter from
grain, the record is given of Hol-
stetin COW at the age OF three years,
which, during one year produced milk
amounting to 1858 pounds, or over
nine tons of milk containing $40
pounds Of butter. The net profit fig
ured in maintaining such a cow is
stated at about $156 per annum.

Some Long, Some Short and Some in
the Small of the Back.

There is one curious fact which not
everybody notices about the common,
finger long, green caterpillars of our
larger moths. Their hearts, instead
of being in front, are at the back of
the body and extend along the entire
length Of the animal. One can see
the heart distinctly through the thin
skin and can watch its slow beat,
which starts at the tail and moves
forward to the head.
Hearts of this sort reaching from
head to tail are not at all uncommon
in the simpler creatures, says st.
Nicholas. The earthworm has one,
and so have most worms, caterpillars
and other crawling things.
Hearts in the middle of the back
are also quite as frequent as those

am in Newport in the month of
October. The gay season has come
and gone. The gay world has driven
and dined and danced, seeking and
finding it's accustomed plethora of friv-
olous amusement 1t has possibly
paid it's bills and has certainly gone
its way. It has troubled itself little
with regard to the amusement of
those outside of its limits. Yet has
some diversion been furnished to man
kind at large by the report of its do
ings. It's taste has been more accord
ant with Roman luxury than with
Greek simplicity. Dinners in private
houses of from so to 100 plates are
far removed from the classic rule
which enjoined that guests at a BAN
quet should not be less than three or
more than nine.
The faces of the gay people when
they departed were anything but gay.
They looked tagged and fatigued be-
yond measure, and their banality Of
facial expression was such as to strike
a chill to the heart of the beholder

together at the old Cliff house, now
replaced by the new Cliff hotel. Studi-
Gus inmates passed mornings in their
rooms. Sea bathing for those who en-
/ joyed it also occupied much of the
forenoon. The afternoons were de-
voted to rambles, out-of-door sketch
ing and driving, mostly along the
beautiful beaches. Now and then our

people, but the crcwning gayety of the
week was found in the Saturday even

house, where elders sat or prone

their hearts content, the ladies hold
ing their trains in one hand, as the
traditional mermaid is supposed to
hold her caudal appendage.

"HoW long wilt thou mourn
for Saul, seeing / have rejected
MN from reigning over Israeli"
The prophet Samuel needed
% ne aroused from his personal
grief and disappointment to an
appreciation Of the larger pur-
, poses and plans of God. These
are never limited to the meas
ure OF human life. One per-
son to whom q work has been
assigned may fail, but there is
always another TO take UP the
task and carry it TO successful
conclusion. There is little profit
" lingering over the ship
wrecked life. Rather, there is
need to lift the eyes in hope to
the future, that the one to whom
God has assigned the unfinished
task or the vacant place may
be discovered. Samuel was per-
nlttlng the grief of his own
heart to hinder his seeing and
feeling in harmony with Gods
will. The larger vision is need
ed TO break the power of the
natural impulses Of the heart
and life. 1t is hard to give up
friends In whom have centered
our ideals and hopes, but Il
must be done when the Divine
will so indicates, Samuel must
cease to look backward. He
must look to the promise of the
future.
"For the Lord seeth not as
man seeth; for man looketh on
the outward appearance, but the
Lord Iool<eth en- the heart."-A
statement full of comfort TO the
one whose heart is open to-
wards God and the currents of
whose life are running parallel
10 the Divine will, but one full
OF disconcerting thought to the
person whose heart harbors
wrong thoughts and desires and
covers up the hidden impulses
of life, so that the outward con-
duct Is but the snowy veneer
put on for appearances sake.
Mans vision is but skin deep,
and the man he sees is not the
man God sees as his alI-seeing
eye penetrates the veneer and
uneovers the real man within.
God looIseth upon the heart, be-
cause out. of the heart are the
issues Of life. AS a man think
eth so is he; that is, as man
Is In his heart so is his life
bound to be and ultimately that
life will stand revealed before
s mef, no matter how cleverIy the
veneer Of pretense Is applied.
{ TO the hypocrite, the pretender,
the person Of the double life,
3 the thought that God sees be-
hind the mask should make one
pause and take knowledge OF
his ways; should lead him to re-
pent and to Get the heart right
with God.
There is comfort in the
thought Of God looking on the
! heart and knowing what is
there to the person, who, mis-
understood and nlsiudged by
those about him, has tried with
I the purest motives to do his
best, even though he has blum
dered and fallen short of per-
feet standards, yet he knows
that God understands and &C.
cepts the life and the service
! NOT for what It has been, but
for what II has intended to be.

The watering place presently came
into absolute favor with the devotees
of fashionable life. Great attention
was given to display and entertain
ments grew more and more formal
and expensive. Night was turned
into day and day afforded no time
for any thoughtful pursuit. What
did the "quieter sort" do under these
circumstances?
They united to form small and
friendly association whose meetings
were held in private parlors.. Re
freshments were limited to tea and
it's concomitants or simple ices and
cake A presiding officer, a small
committee charged with providing en-
tertainments, treasurer appointed
to receive and care for the very
moderate fees intended to cover the
expenses of correspondence and an
nouncement-these suficed for a
quarter of a century to keep the club
in running order.
The entertainments offered to this
assemblage were sufficiently varied
in character. Men of science kindly
lent themselves to the object held in
view and instructive talks on many
questions of natural history were
given and enjoyed Under this head
mention might be made of botan-
ical picnic, at which an expert in
that line of study led an adventurous
party into depths of cliff and valley,
to return laden with wild flowers,
which were duly dissected and ex-
planned before an attentive audience.
Music and the par1or drama some
times brought lighter faculties into
play and in the region of pure litera
ture some rare delights were afford
ed us. Hans Breitmann read us the
| famous poem which gave him his
| name. The Rev. George Ellis en-
lightened US on themes of early
American history Col. T. w. Hig
