 Hospitality was law with Babe, so much so that though the house contained but two rooms she hastened to offer what ac- commodations they had. The hill folk never turn away a guest. Yet something told her that the strangers meant no good. The psychologist may explain the feeling by learned references to the laws of mental philosophy, leaving to the muble tell of this tale the mere chronic ling of the fact.
 The girl repressed her premonition of danger by the preparation of the meagre supper for the two men, to be sure, the best her kitchen afforded. When it was done and the guests were called the strangers could not be found, though Babe searched all over the place. The horses neighed as she approached, yet the masters were not there to answer. Instnctively, with the unerring conclu- sion of her kind, she knew the men were revenue officers who had come to see if the way was clear. Babe thought of dad and the boys at work down at the

 The echoes of the voice died away, 1eay- ing naught but the stiffness of the woods and the monotonous noise of the still at work. Out in the thicket her cheeks yet aglow with the warm blood of life, and her face as peaceful as a baby's, Babe lay prone upon her back. From a hole in her head trickled the red blood in spurts. staining her plain calico dress with the flow. In the starlight she seemed as If asleep.

 Strange sights are in store for the navy boys when they arrive at Rio. It is a quaint old city. From the top of Sac Antonio Hill they will see something like our high bridge. only lower and vastly longer Some of the streets are so mar row that wagons can travel but in one direction. No passing. This should sug- gest something to our regulators of truck traffic. There is no confusion. Grip has advocated this for years) The famous fire brigade will exhibit itself. There will be drive through the Palm Tree Alice, and every jack tar will be treat ed to a pot of coffee brewed right on the plantation. The government palace is a gorgeous house. In Dom Pedro's time the ladies of the court wore neither stock ings nor shoes. Their toes were cov- cred with costly rings, and their ankles were adorned with Brazilian diamonds and ribbons.

T HE Pan-Anglican conference will
 be probably one of the greatest re-
 x ligious gatherings that England has witnessed. The arrangements are in pro gress, but the machinery to set such an organization in motion is immense. From June 15 to A London will receive bishops and clergy from all parts of the colonies, India, South Africa Canada, Jamaica, the South Sea Islands and the representatives of the Anglican communion in America and China, gathered from the uttermost parts of the earth. The presence of over 200 bishops, two of whom are oolored, from Western Africa, all belonging to our branch of the great Catholic church, will constitute record in the history of Christianity. But probably the feature of the Pan-Anglican conference is that their discussions will not be confined to va rious aspects of their belief, but that they will extend their consideration to those questions which so vitally affect the life of Christians, such as "Commer- cial Morality" "Companies and Con science" Faith and Science" Social ism and Christianity" and the "Churchs Duty to the Young

 After teaching at Harvard, MT. Lodge went into politics and was twice mem Der of the Massachusetts legislature. In 1886 he was returned to the Fiftieth Con- gress, and in 1888 he was reelected.

THERE IS NO DEATH.

n. bIt6n@ " NV ~-''''' By Lytton.
 There is no deathi The stars go down
 To rise upon some fairer shore And bright in heavens jeweled crown They shine forever more. There is no death The dust we tread
 Shall change beneath the summer show To golden grain or mellow fruit
 Or rainbow tinted flowers. The granite rocks disorganize
 To feed the hungry moss they bear; The forest leaves drink daily life
 From out the viewless air. There is no death! The leaves may fall.
 The flowers may fade and pass away They only wait through wintry hours
 The coming of the May. There is no death! An angel form
 Walks OCT the earth with silent tread He bears our best loved things away,
 And then we call them dead" He leaves our hearts all desolate-
 He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers Transplanted into bliss, they now
 Adorn immortal bowers. The bird-like voice. whose joyous tones
 Made glad this scene of sin and strife Sings now in everlasting song.
 Amid the tree of life. And where he sees a smile so bright,
 Of hearts too pure for taint and vice, He bears 1t to that world of light.
 To dwell in paradise. Born into that undying life,
 They leave us but to come again; With joy we overcome them-the same Except in sin and pain. And ever near us. though unseen,
 The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe
 Is life--there are no dead.

THE SOLITUDE OF ALEXANDER
 SELIKIRk.

By Cowper.
 I am monarch of all I survey; My right there is none to dispute; From the center all round to the sea I am lord of the fowl and the brute. o Solitude. where are the charms That sages have seem in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place. I am out of humanitys reach, I must finish my journey alone, Never hear the sweet music of speech; start at the sound of my own. The beasts that roam over the plain My form with indifference see; They are so unacquainted with man, Their tameness Is shocking to me. Society, Friendship and Love Divinity bestow'd upon man, Oh, had I the wings of dove How soon would I taste you again! My sorrows I then might assuage In the ways of religion and truth, Might learn from the wisdom of age, And be cheer'd by the sallies of youth Ye winds that have made me your sup
 port,
 Convey to this desolate shore Some cordial endearing report Of land I shall visit no more; My friends do they now and then send A wish or a thought after me? tell me I yet have friend, Though a friend l am never to see. How fleet is a glance of the mind! Compared with the speed of its flight, The tempest itself lags behind, And the swift-winged arrows of light. When think re my own native land In a moment seem to be there; But alas recollection at hand Soon hurries me back to despair. But the sea-fowl is gone to her nest. The beast is laid down in its lair; Even here is season of rest And to my cabin repair. There's mercy in every place, And mercy, encouraging thought, Gives even affliction a grace And reconciles man to his lot.

r ORD BACON asserted that read ing maketh full man, confer A ence ready man., and writing an exact man." The senior senator from Massachusetts has read much, conferred much, and written much. He Is recog- nzed as the scholar in politics. Not so able as John Sharp Williams nor so brilliant as E. w. Carmack, he has read more than ether of them, and doubtless carries in his memory more of the history and the literature of the hu- man family than any other man now in public life. he will never be rated as great a man as Sumner, but as senator he serves his country better than Sumner. Indeed, Sumner, in pol- tics. subtracted from the happiness and the veal of the American people.
 Henry Cabot Lodge, at the age of 25, was that Sfearfuly endowed individ- ual-young a reformer, an idealist. scholar, rich, college professor, lawyer, a historian and sentiment talist. By the narrowest margin in the world he escaped the mugwumpery that engulfed the Adams family, young John Andrew young Lloyd Garrison, young Sherman Hoar, young George Fred Will Hams, young Josiah Quincy, and old Josiah Walker. Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Lodges pupil, was another repub-
  wumpery. MT. Lodge is a Yankee of the blue blood, a grandson of the Hart ford convention, and the prose laureate of the Puritans. There was an old Quaker poet in New England and very excellent poet he was, too; but he l-new scarcely a~ much about poli- tics as Nicodemus knew of the second birth, and yet he had the sublime tenn erity to call Daniel Webster "Ichabod" for the greatest and the most patriotic speech Webster ever made. Lodge was with the Quaker in that dispute, If Massachusetts had followed the coun- sel of Rufus Choate and Robert c. Winthrop, 1t would have been a great deal better for our country.
 Henry Cabot Lodge was born in 1850 in the city of Boston. He was gradu- ated from Harvard at the age of 21, and four years later he emerged from the famous Harvard law school grad uate, after which he was admitted to the Suffolk bar, where many of the greatest lawyers the world ever saw had pleaded; but lawyers, like poets are born, not made, and Lodge soon discovered that at the bar a man like Caleb Cushing, or Ben Butler, or Elihu Root, or John G. Carlisle, or John c. Spooner or Philander Knox, or Joseph w. Bailey, would make him look like and feel like 30 cents. and very wisely he abandoned the profession for litera- ture He is very laborious man and has a genius for hard work. He has infinite patience for research, and Hen ry Cabot Lodge would be an eminent historian if he were not such bitter, Intolerant, partisan advocate. The best tl.ing he has ever done is his History of the English Colonies in America" and that is as partisan as one of John A. Logan's stump speeches. For ex- ample, when telling about the Salem auto da fe he indulges the recrimina- Hons that witch was sent to the

BABE" A TALE OF THE ALABAMA HILL

<<n ABE" was the child of silas
 n Elder. for 50 years a dweller
 0 among the hills of Alabama. Elders two-room log cabin stood on the crest of a tall hill in the Choctaw coun- try, commanding as desolate and as wild a view as can be found outside of real mountains. In it Elder himself had been born, and after him, in due time, his eight children.
 Babe was the youngest of these, which meant that she had lavished upon her the affection always received by the youngest child. This evidenced itself in the almost idolatrous devotion of her, seven big brothers, something unusual in the hill-eountry for there the men do not waste affection on their women, regarding them more in the light of prin- itive men--useful being in the necessary economy of life. Another cause of this devotion was the two years Babe had spent in town, remarkable achievement,

POEMS FOR SUNDAY READING

"eooD-BYE, GOD BLESS YoU." By Eugene Field. I like the Anglo-Saxon speech
 With it's direct revealings; It takes hold and seems to reach Way down into your feelings; That some folks deem it rude. I know, And therefore they abuse it, But l have never found it so-
 Before all else I choose it. I don't object that men should air
 The Gallic they have paid for, With "au revoir," "adieu, ma chere," For that's what French was made for, But when crony takes your hand At parting to address your, He drops all foreign lingo and
 He says, "Good-by, God bless you"' I love the words, perhaps, because
 When I was leaving mother Standing at last in solemn pause
 We looked at one another; And Fl saw in mothers eyes
 The love she could not tell me A love eternal as the skies,
 Whatever fate befell me, She put her arms around my neck And soothed the pain of leaving. And though her heart was like to break She spoke no word of grieving; She let no tear bedim her eyes
 For fear that she might distress me, But, kissing me, she said good by
 And asked our God to bless me.

ROBIN REDBREAsT's CROSS.

By George Darley.
 A little cross
 To tell my loss;
 A little bed
 To rest my head A little tear is all I crave Upon my very little grave.

 Who loved thy lays;
 The tear I shed
 The cross I raise, With nothing more upon 1t than Here lies the little friend of man.'

move TO discharge the Committee on
Ways and Means from the further
consideration Of, aud To suspend the
rules, and TO pass the Stevens bill,

the Democratic leader OF the House,
goaded the Republican leaders to
fury by beseeching 30 Republicans,
NJ least, TO come forward and add
their signatures to the petition. He
called on those who had introduced
bills for free print paper TO sign, but
not one came forward, not even
thrse who had made speeches in
favor OF such q measure. MIR Will
liams made his request for action
facetiously; he knew no Republican
would come forward to the mourn
ers bench, and repudiate the hide
bound craftsmanship that hangs like
pail over the deliberations of this
Congress. He told them that:
while the lamp holds out TO burn,
