When Seneca wrote his inspiring phi
losophy our ancestors who dwclt north
of the Alps were savages. We may
take some pride in the fact that he
points to these SaVagcs as cXemplars in
fortitude for the Romans: You may
see what endurance might effect in us
If you observe what labor does among
tribes that are naked and rendered
stronger by want. Look at all the ma
tions that dwell beyond the Roman en-
pire-I mean the Germans and all the
nomad tribes that war against us along
the Danube. They suffer from eternal
winter and dismal climate. The bar
rem soil grudges them sustenance They
keep off the rain with leaves or thatch;
they bound across frozen marshes and
hunt wild beasts for food. Do you
think them unhappy? There is no I'M
happiness in what use has made part
Of ones nature. BY degrees men find
pleasure in doing what they were first
driven to do by necessity. They have
no homes and no resting places save
those which WEAKNESS appoints them
for the day; their food, though coarse,
yet must be sought with their own
hands; the harshness Of the climate Is
terrible, and their bodies are unclothed.
This, which you think a hardship, Is
the mode of life Of all these races.
How, then, can you wonder at good
men being shaken In order that they
may be strengthened? No tree which
the wind does not often blow against
Is firm and strong, for 1t is stlffened by
the very act Of being shaken and
plants its roots more securely. Those
which grow in sheltered valley are
brittle. And so 1t Is to the advantage
OF good men and causes them to be un-
dismayed that they should live much
amid alarms and learn to bear with
patience what Is not evil save to him
who endures 1t Ill.

count of one memory Of that call:

he said that 1t brought up a vision of
that house as clear as the reality. I

erything. Yes, BILL 1 said, with emo

Beechor's Defense to Be Published.
From Leslie's Weekly.

The death of Theodore Tilton is
the death of the last of the princi-
pals concerned in the Beecher trial
of 1875. The principals were
Beecher and Mrs. Beecher, Tilton
and Mrs. T>ilton, and Mr.. Frank
Moulton. 1t has always been un-
derstood in Plymouth Church and
among Mr.. Beecher's intimate
friends that not all the facts were
stated in court which might be
stated in his defense, and the rea-
son given was that there was a re-
lation of Mrs. Beecher to the case
which he was unwilling should be
stated until after the death of all
the principals. That situation has
arisen. Lyman Abbott's biography
OF him, therefore, did not contain
all the facts. After the trial was
over it was said that Mr.. Beecher
wrote out full statement of his
defense, deposited it in a safe under
the care of some of his friends,
with the request to publish it after
all the principals had passed away.
There is story, therefore, yet to
be told-a story which, it has been
said, would clear his reputation in
the minds of that small minority
that refused to believe him inno-
cent. Theodore Tilton was an ex-
lie for the remainder of his life,
That fact alone has some signifi-
canoe. We state these facts on
what seems the best authority.

Pleasures of Canoeino.

The canoeist is the most independent
of men. He can push his craft through
stream three feet wide and five
Inches deep, and he can safely nego-
tiate any bit Of water that catboat
or moderate sized launch would care
to attempt. Canoeing is popular be-
cause it brings its devotees out into
the open freedom and lets them live
their summer life as they will. The
canoe does for humanity what the bi-
cycle failed to do. The bicycllst was
tied to roads, was dependent upon ho-
tells and restaurants for food and lOdg-
ing. When the hill was steep he must
alight and walk. When the road was
bad or the foot of the hill dubious he
must do likewise. The canoest suffers
none of these restrictions. He carries
with him his place of abode-his bed,
his food and the means Of preparing 1t.
He Is not confined to well worn high
ways. He is able to penetrate and ex-
plore out of the way streams and pitch
his tent in spots inaccessible to the
average wanderer.-Yachtlng.

Two Seasons Hauls.

A slow smile spread over the face OF
Amos Rudd as he prepared. with his
usual delberation, TO answer the ques-
ton of the newcomer from Massachu-
setts
Yes, do considerable tcaming, first
and last" he said chcerfully. Haul
logs in winter an city folks in summer
an | don't know which is the hardest
work"
"Why, you have to do heavy lifting
with logs, Of course" said the young
person from Massachusetts. with some
indignation. THAT must be great
deal harder than just carrying people
to and from the hotel and taking them
to drive, as your wife told me you
did"
'She don't CO." remarked Mr. Rudd
in a casual tone. And not being an
eyewitness OF any of the pufform-
ances she's no proper judge. The logs
are hefty, it's true, but once get 'em
on an there they are. I've never known
'em to squirm around, lean all to one
side till they most upset the gearing or
ketch me by the sleeve for the sake of

of 'em takes the most wear out O. me

THE UNCoNoUERED ONE.
Tribute Of a Philosopher to Well e.
tablished Mind.

Demetrus, who was surnnmCd Poll
orcetes, took Megara, and the philoso-
pher Stilbo, when asked by him whcth.
er he had lost anything, answered, "No;
l carry all my property about me-" Yet
his inheritance had been given mp 10
pillage. his daughters had been OUT
ragged by the enemy, his country had
fallen under foreign dominion. and It
was the king, enthroncd on high, sur
rounded by the spears of his victorious
troops, who put this question TO him.
Yet he struck the victory out of the
kings hands and proved that, though
the city was taken, he himself was not
only unconquere1, but unharmed, for
he bore with him those true goods
which no one can lay hands upon.
Amid the flash of swords on all sides
and the riot of the plundering soldiery,
amid the flames and blood and ruin of
the fallen city, amid the crash of tenn
Piles falling upon their gods, one man
was at peace. Behold" says he, II am
here to prove to you that, although I'M
der the direction of that destroyer of
so many cities, walls may be shaken
by the stroke of the ram, lofty towers
may be suddenly brought low by gal
leries and hidden mines and mounds

adel, yet no siege engines can be
discovered which can shake a well es-
tabllshed mind. l have just crept from
amid the ruins of my house, and. with
conflagratlons blazing all around me,

thing around me In the hands of the

Brief, but to the Point.

A young fellow at college wrote to
his uncle, on whom he entirely depend
ed:
My Dear Uncle-Ready for the needful.
Your affsctionate nephew.
The uncle replied
My Dear Nephew-The needful Is not
ready. Your affectionate uncle.
1t Is pleasant that affection should
survive pecuniary embarrassments, as
1t did In the case Of Samuel Foote's
mother and himself:
My Dear Sam-I am In prison for debt:
come and assist your, loving mother.

Dear Mother-So 1 am; which prevents
his duty being paid TO his loving mother

ably, becoming more broken, the view
circumscribed by towering cliffs and
deep ravines.
Late in the afternoon he refined up
his horse and gazed forward into a
broad valley, bounded with precipi-
tous bluffs The trail led directly
down toward where a considerable
stream of water shone silvery in the
sun. half concealed behind a fringe OF
willows. And yonder, close in against
those distant willows. some black dots
were moving. Hampton glued his
anxious eyes 10 the glass The leyeled
tubes clearly revealed man on horse
back. leading another horse. The ami
mails were walking. There could be
little doubt that this was Silent Muir
ply.
Hampton lariated his tired horses
behind the bluff and returned to the
summit, lying fiat upon the ground,
with the feld-glass at his eyes The
distant figures passed slowly forward
into the midst of the willows, and for
half an hour the patient watcher
scanned the surface of the stream be-
yond, but there was no sign of at
tempted passage. The sun sank lower
and finally disappeared behind those
desolate ridges to the westward.
Hampton's knowledge of plainscraft
rendered Murphy's actions sufficiently
clear. This was the Fourche; beyond
those waters lay the terrible peril Of
Indian raiders. Further advance must
be made by swift, secret night riding
and never-ceasing vigilance. This was
what Murphy had been saving himself
and his horses for. Beyond conjec
ture, he was resting now within the
+ shadows of those willows, studying
the opposite shore and making ready
/ for the dash northward. Hampton be
/ ieved he would Hnger thus for some
/ time after dark, to see II Indian fires
would afford any guidance. Confident
/ of this, he passed back to his horses
! rubbed them down with grass, anC
then ate his lonely supper, not ventur
ing to light a fire, certain that Muir
phys eyes were scanning every incl
of skyline.
Darkness came rapidly, while Hamp
ton sat planning again the details o
his nights work. Then, with the tw,
animals trailing cautiously behind, h
felt his slow way on foot down tn
steep bluff, into the denser blacknes
[ of the valley.

THREE GIRLS IN A BOAT.
Not to Mention the Fish, Which Cap
tiyated by So Much Beauty Sup
piled the Supper.

Lafayette, Ind, Aug. 3. - Three
girls in a frail canoe struggling with
a five-pound bass, which jumped into
their boat from the deep water of the
Wabash river, supplied a scene here
that will not soon be forgotten, either
by those directly involved or those
who witnessed it. Misses Hazel
Strang, Bertha Latta and Esther Burg
hardt, all young women of the city,
were padding a canoe In the river
when suddenly there was a popping
noise beside their boat and a large,
dark object rose high in the air and
landed among them on the floor OF
the little craft.
They were greatly frightened, and
for a moment did not know what the
struggling object was. 1t lay still d
moment and they saw 1t was large
black bass. One of the girls tried tC
hold the fish down, but the creature
struggled gamely and the girls in their
excitementnearly overturned the canoe
Finally by their combined efforts they
subdued the fish and started on Their
trip again. They reached Burroughs
island in time for supper, and the
obliging fish was cooked and eaten.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Haunting of a Crime.

Murphy rested on his back in the
midst of a thicket of willows, wide
awake. yet not quite ready to ford the
Fourche and plunge into the dense
shadows shrouding the northern shore.
Crouched behind a log, he had so far
yielded unto temptation as to light his
pipe.
Murphy had been amid just such
unpleasant environments many times
before, and the experience had grown
somewhat prosaic. Even Indian-scout-
ing degenerates into a commonplace
at last. So Murphy pulled contentedly
at his old pipe.
But suddenly there was the faint
crackle of branch to his left, and
one hand instantly closed over his pipe
bowl, the other grasping the heavy re
volver at his hip. There came a plain,
undisguised rustling in the grass
some proving coyote, probably; then
his tense muscles Immediately re
Taxed, and he cursed himself for being
so startled, yet he continued to grasp
the AS" in his right hand, his eyes
alert.
