“As hea lth consideration prevents th e re tu rn to India of Dr. and Mrs. T. J. Scott, a t th is conference, a f te r fo rty -th ree years of active service, Dr. Scott was placed in tlie retired lis t. I t has been given to few men to have such a successful m issionary career, or to leave such a ■ strong im press upon an en tire mission, as has been the case w ith th is re tirin g veteran. Aside from the general in fluence lie has upon th e developm ent and d irection of th e w ork, tb e Bare illy Theological Sem inary, ot w hich lie w as the founder, and for more th an a q u a rte r of a cen tu ry the p rincipal, is a la s tin g m onum ent to Dr. S co tt’s zeal and wisdom. At th is tim e It is Impossible to give a ju s t appreciation of hiB life and work in India, b u t th e K aukab hopes soon to devote more space to th is subject.

Excellent Singing By Choir of Yourr.Ladies— A “Merchants’ Day" Sermon Preached by the Pastor, Rev. J. D. Bills, Which Proved Interesting. ■
Last Sunday th e fu ll reg u la r fall and w in te r schedule of service w as begun a t St. P a u l’s M. E. Church. The evening w orship had been d ispensed w ith d u rin g the sum m er a t th e church, in order th a t all m igh t w orship a t the A uditorium .
All the services of Sunday were sp lendidly a ttended and the m orning and evening audiences filled the church.
Rev. Jam es D. Bllls, pastor of tho church , was assisted by the following clergym en: H enry W heeler, T.J. Scott, H. C. McBride, W . F . B rush, B. F. S tring , W illis Reeves a n d J. W. G rant, a ll of whom took somo p a r t in e ith e r th e m orning or evening service.
The fine choir of young ladies was presen t and did excellent w ork; th e ir an them s were g rea tly enjoyed, as w ere also th e solo by Mrs. C. E. Connell am i th e duet by- Mrs. Bleeck- 01 S tirlin g and- M I bb Mae Shepherd. The church waa decorated w ith cut (lowers.
The m orning service was in hon,- or ot the m erchan ts on account of ‘M erchan ts’ Day" hav ing been ob
served las t week in Ocean Grove and A sbury P ark . The pastor had in vited the m erchan ts and clerks to a ttend , and m any of them w ere In the audience.
The St. P au l’s ushers also w ere out in fu ll force, hav ing been released from tlie lr du ties a t tho A udito rium by the closing of th a t place.
Tho M ethodist Brotherhood coming from t l ie l r jn e n ’s m eeting in the church parlor led by D. S. Reeves, president, and R. H. Eddlem an, devotional leader, took th e ir places in the congregation. Rev. J. D. Bills welcomed th e people’ and had a good word for th e strangers present. He preached an in tensely p rac tica l sermon from the tex t found in 2nd T hessalonlans 3 :1 3 ,“ Be no t w eary in well doing." Wo give a b rief abs tra c t of h is discourse: He said *hetoxt is so fam iliar th a t It has become a household word, or proverb to encourage any about to fa lte r o r give up. The apostle In th is chap ter has been ta lk in g about work and o th er w ell-doing, or good behavior, and so the tex t m ay be applied to labor e ith er of body or b ra in and also to the C hristian life.
F irs t th en le t us apply It to labo r or service, and a word in th e tex t w ill help us to rem em ber it— doing
Be not w eary in well doing. The apostle has ju s t been com plain ing of those who do not work, say ing : “ For we h ear th a t there arg some, am ong you th a t a re disorderly , w ork ing not at a ll. Now them th a t a re such We command and exhort by ’our Lord Jesus C hrist, fh a t w ith quietness they w ork arid c a t th e ir own bread .” He also sa id : “F o r even w hen wew ere w ith you, th is we commanded you, th a t if any would n o t w ork, n e ith e r should he ea t."
T he book th a t tells th e sto ry of "T he C arpenter of N azareth." ex a lts w ork and C hrist h im self said “ My F a th e r w orketh h ith e rto , " a n d I w ork ."
F urth e rm o re , tho tex t requ ires a good service— well doing.
In th is Bame chap ter w e read “T here are aomfi am ong you w orking not, b u t are busybodleB." T h a t is they w ork h a rd enough, bu t th e ir lab o r is n o t of th e r ig h t k ind . They spend th e ir lives in the Bervlce of sa tan . T here. Is a good deal o t p ernicious ac tiv ity in th e w orld. People work h ard er a t doing, w rong th a n they do a t well doing. H enry W ard Beecher te lls of a m an liv ing near his homo w ho stole a ll tho firewood ho uaed, going ou t In th e n ig h t and carry in g It homo. M r, Beocher says they figured up th e tim e ho spent and found o u t th a t he could have earned m ore th an th e wood was w orth in the same timo a t honest la- bor. 'ty ’SSJP*

W RATH A T | RISING W A T ER f
A Well Merited Punishment
By W. EDSON SMITHC o p y rig h t by F r a n k A . M unsoy Co.
Ju st above where the Uio Santa Fe runs laughingly into tlie reservoir there Is a place where one may cross its shimmering shallows easily enough, by means of thickly scattered stepping stones.
Lolita M artinez had loitered along the white snnd carpet o f ; th a t same pine shaded .w ater course hundreds of tJmes in her seventeen years.
I t was a pleasant place to pass au idle hour, and idle hours were not a few. B ut the hot- Spanish blood was racing now as she cume out o f her fath er’s house, and, with an assumption of lazy nonchalance, she picked a way slowly, gracefully, across the river.
The beating of her heart could be pardoned. Perfect May days, enchanting with the magic fragrance o t a million apple trees, are many in this happy valley. But. it is on only one May day in a lifetime that a girl runs away to be married—and to an American! Of course an American! Suppose it had been Francisco Gonzales—there would have been no running away!
They, would have been wedded a t the cathedral w ith all tlie ancient ceremonial, and Francisco would have taken her to Ills new* built home. •
Even* drunken Manuel Valdez., who had no lio iiw <»n liis barren hillside acres, whose name was a bvxvord for wickedness.* even he would have been
. an easier suitor f«»r her fsilher to accept than Itrnss. llie American.

I AN INCIDENT OF |I TOE WORLD’S WARi ___V< ►
;; It Happened to a Reporter •«
By F . A. M1TCHEL
W hen the jxvent Kuropunn w ar broko out I w«k a reporter on nn American newspaper. Young nnd full of vi^or, I found it impossible to content inynelf picking up unim portant item s when g reat armies w ere In conflict. I Pegged to he sen t either to France or to Germany as a w ar correspondent. There wore persons a t hand who were better able than I to w rite descriptions of battles, Imt I w as chosen because the proprietor of the paper, having been a soldier in the Spanish-American war, knew the dangers I would likely encounter and that a younjx follow of twenty-two w as better able to face them than an older man.
Everybody knows now, w hat no one knew then, th a t newspaper correspondents would not ho allowed a t the front. I found it out when I arrived and/ determined. s lw c I could not give battle pictures. 1 :» send my paper scenes in the wake of war.
I f<u!::d It easier to penetrate te rritory o'^’Upied by th e allies than by the florin?'it*, so f took the direction o f lesser oj-eo^itfoiK on tho sam e principle that w ater flows. T entered Itel- gjum a t a Him* when the Hermans w ere hammerin'? a t tho Liege forts. I t was not I mi", however, before the a llied rofWM h"g’M!. and f r iny purp^s-* of w ritit'”’ en soi*nes of the eonntry over will- h the tide, of battle had p a r t ’d 1 fnymvrtl the arm let southw ard. -Thl's pu t mo in the rea r of the rsoniftuis.
It: will he remembered that, where the flerm ans parsed through a certain, d h tr lr t ;riv/*n up to the growing of grapes and the m anufacture of wine they helped themselves t<> the stock oil hand. 1 came one evening upon one of tliene vineyards who.ro the grape was grown, turned into wine and stored bi cellars. The plae*» had not only been fought, rivet*, but. had suffered from tUo Ofcupatlon of nn arm y corps. ’Vhen I arrived the troops had .lust left and there wa-; not a person on the place. I t was cvenimr, and. though I on p. Cess I ■ shuddered at. the desolation about me, I took a melancholy Interest in exploring the premises.
Singular it w as nnd impressive to walk through large rooms; In some of which w ere the wine v a ts and some of which had been used fo r bottling, each apartm ent being devoted to a separate purpose. The preihlses looked as If n hurrieane had passed over them. There were vast rents in the roofs and the walls, while in the interior shells had been exploded, knocking the winemaking apparatus to pieces.
Coming to a sta irw ay leading below th e main floor, I w ent down and found myself In a w ine cellar; Judging by the empty bottles scattered about, every drop of wine had been drunk. The sight reminded m e of the scene of an orgy the morning a f te r It had taken place arid the. banquet room deserted by the reve’ers.
There was a sad fascination in w andering through these cellars, passing from one to th e other. They were dark, but I found plenty o f partly burned candles lying about to give me light. I passed through several cellars, in all of which the bottles had been emptied, then entered one in which w ere only casks.. I turned the faucet of one on the lowest row nnd found it empty. Then trying one on a higher tier the red wine gushed forth. Evidently the stock had been only partly drained.
Penetrating a narrow passage a t the farther end of the room. I descended several steps and came to an Iron door. W hile exam ining it I heard voices on the other side. They were not the voices of men, b u t of women.
I t struck me a t once th a t whoever the persons were they had. shu t themselves in there to escape the fighting th a t had rolled over the place. With th e reportorlal Instinct strong In me, I desired to interview them. I knocked on the door.
In nn instan t the talking ceased and all was still* I knocked again, and receiving no reply called out In tolerable French:
“ The soldiers hnve gone; there is no danger."
I heard nothing for a few moments; then a sw eet feminine voice, evidently n ear the door, asked:
‘‘Who are yon?’“A citizen, an American."“Has the battle ceased?”“Yes, and the troops have moved on.” “Are you sure there a re no Germans
on the place?*’“ I h a ve s e e n no n e .”I could hear th a t those behind tbe
door were debating, but not w hat the.v said. Presently some one tried to fnove a bolt on the farther side o f the door
• nnd after some efTort succeeded. Then the door w as slowly sw ung open; \
Directly before m e was a young girl jibout eighteen. F arther on were several middle aged women, an old m a n and a number of children. The older ones showed the effects of having passed through a harrowing experience, but th e .'children only looked curious as to
• w h a t would happen next. On seeing (R\man- U\ ;dress it 1 1, at»pearet
; 'to'ibe 'relieve*],;b r t t[)ey ln’d suffered se/
nothing to fear, though you will Andthe place a ruin."
“Ah, monsieur,** said tho girl, "we are lucky to escape with our lives.”
“Come,” I said; “you all doubtless need food and to breathe the fresh air.”
They left the subcellar in which they had been perfectly safe from bursting shells. W hile passing through the rooms th a t had contained their now vanished wealth the older ones groan* cd; when they ascended to the main fioor and saw tho ruins of their buildings they looked a t each other In despair. The young girl did w hat she could to keep up their sp ir its saying th a t all would, soon be recovered, but her words had no ofloct upon them.
From . tbe south came a distant booming of cannon, though night having come on there was a lull in the lighting. There were no men on the premises, except the old man who had hidden in. th e eellor, for the men were all In the army. The women therefore cherished my presence w ith them and looked to me for guidance. I told the young girl, whom they called Clochettc, th a t we had better go to the bouse where the proprietor had lived, nnd she led the w ay thither.
We found it much upset, hut not a ruin. The officers had occep'ed it. nnd. though they had left the furniture topsy turvy. tho house itself except for being perforated bv a few cannon balls w as not injured. We lighted candles and set to work to make the house habitable. Fortunately i t w as summer, and we did not suffer from the passage of a ir through tho holes in the walls.
Clochette nnd I. being the only young nersons present o ther than the chll* dren, did most of the work and got I ho premises in tolerable shape. oKeept fur cleanliness, which would roonir> more time rind effort. Then f*lo«-hette look me to one of Ihe buildings, beneath
j which provisions had been corn ea led, i and selecting w hat was needed we re
tu rn ed to the others, and ( ’locliette got up a supper which was seasoned with hunger, and all a te ravenously.
P.elng tlio only man on the prejn's;^ ftt for service, and these people relying upon me alone for aid and comfort. I did not go lo bed with the others, but securing a fowling piece- for 'defense statioued myself on the porch to watch, for. grim vlsaged wai* was about us, and I did not know aj what moment I m ight be called upon to protect. my charges. The firing grew le> toward midnight, biit here and there in every direction the heavens were lit w ith a light that indicated some house
.was being destroyed, and heaven only knew w hat dreadful calam ities were being . visited upon those who dwelt therein.
Now and again I heard voices of those who w ere probably stragglers and likely m arauders who were out for pillage. .Coming upon the buildings which were in ruins, they passed on. The house in which my flock was sleeping, being as dark as the rest, was fortunately not visited. I was sitting in a chair, w ith my gun resting 011 the porch, nodding, when 1 felt a light touch on my shoulder.
“You are very kind,” said a voice which I knew to be Clochette’s. */I will relieve -you for a time. Go in and get some sleep. You Americans are the finest people In the world.”
I told her th a t I preferred to watch. When I asked her if there were auy more arm s on the place she replied th a t she knew of none excepting a revolver which she drew from under the sk irt of her dress, and Which she told me, she had kept there,from the time the tide of battle began to roll over the vineyard. She would not go to bed. so I drew a chair for her, and we sa t together 011 guard.
Clochette was the daughter of the superintendent of the vineyard. Among the women w as her mother, and the others were mostly h er relatives. Shn had evidently been the dependence of the party before my arrival, and even now was unable to throw off the responsibility resting upon her. And yfet she was especially feminine. Sitting there together, whenever a yell, a curse or a shriek rang out in the night she drew near me and shuddered, while 1 . though I dreaded w hat might a t any moment happen, spoke In tones of assurance that I m ight so fa r as possible keep up her courage.
D uring the night we met with various causes for especial terror. One I remember for the narrow escape we made. H alf a dozeu stragglers, all evl. dently drunk, came through the vineyard. My companion nnd I withdrew behind some latticework, where we were well concealed. The men passed tho house and stopped before It. I heard them discussing w hether or not there was any loot -within, nnd for some time w e were in doubt whether or not they would come up 011 to the porch where we were preparatory to breaking In. If they had done so they would inwe undoubtedly discovered ns, and the consequences would have been terrible.
The few hours we passed between midnight and dawn, though terrifying, w ere in some respects the most pleasing and in all respect? the most hn-. porten t o f . my life.1 I had spent long periods, in proximity w ith young girls Without being draw n to them. This on e l m et a t evening and w ith the first gray streak o f daw n-klie‘was aH in all to me. W e had sa t together a tn l\ the booming of d istan t guns, the burning of homes, the passing and repass* lng near us of those who were bent on the work of w ar.; Hefore morning we belonged to each other,‘ Clochette soon after left the fighting zone and I left it w ith hciS I wrote up ju s t one-incident in w ar’s wake, but it w as not . published in the paper1 represented.'

A ccording to s ta tis tics recen tly collected by the New Jersey Geological Survey in co-operation w ith th e United S tates Geological Survey, more high-grade clay is dug and sold in New Jersey th an in any oth-, e r S tate. D uring 1914 th e re were foiU y-three producers who sold an aggregate of 373,703 sh o rt tons, valued a t $648,584, a decrease ot $121,105 in value and 74,432 tons in q u an tity com pared w ith 1913. These quan tities are in add ition to th e very m uch larger am ount of clay of a ll grades dug by th e m anu\ fac tu re rs . The value of th is clay is n o t computed separa te ly b u t is in cluded in th a t of the finished product. Of the clay^Tlug and sold, over seventy-three per cent, was fire clay, a considerable p a r t of w hich w as shipped to o ther S tates. T he chief clay producing d istric t of the. S tate is in Middlesex count* n ear Wood bridge, South Amboy and P e rth Amboy.

Let us n o t be dissatisfied w ith our load. Addison tells us of a dream in w hich he saw a k ing m ake a proclam ation to his people th a t on a certain day th ey m ig h t ail come and ex change th e ir life burdens. E ach o r would be privileged to exchange h! burden w ith any o ther who m ight desire to m ake the exchange. At th e given tim e thousands came an ‘ changed th e ir burdens for o thers they thought easier to bear. Then they sta rted hom eward ; w ith rejoic ing. B ut he saw again in h is d reap ' th a t a f te r some days passed th e same m ultitude was to iling bac again in th e hope th a t those who exchanged burdens w ith them m igh t be w illing to take them back again , a n d ‘there they found them all seeking the old burdens and each w ent his way again w ith con ten tm ent to bear his own load.
Let us no t complain o r f re t a t the q th e r w orkers. T he more fric tion we cjtn save th e m ore power we w ill have. The life In which th e re la fric tion is alw ays weak and ineffective; one may w aste energy enough in com plaining, about o thers to do his own task , some one has said.
“Many a business man pu ts in .h is m ost valuable hours ad justing com-
f plications which, never could havfc arisen had his employes worked in harm ony,” and th is is also tru e in the church . Many a C hristian w astes in church quarre ls the nervous and j m ental vigor w hich ought to have gone into build ing up th e kingdom of Christ on earth . “* I
I t is an axiom in m echanics th a t ] "friction costs more than lu b r ic a -j tlon .” I t Is tru e everyw here. j
Lastly , le t us not be w eary of th e j C hristian life. An old sa in t used to ; frequently say in class-m eeting, “ I j have often been w eary in the way, . but never w eary of the way/* T iie j grace of our Lord Jesus C hrist can ■ not only keep us in the way, b u t , m ake if for us an active, glad w ay te rm in a tin g in heaven. .
The evening sermon was from Judges 6:14. “ Go in th is th y m igh t and thou sha ll save Israel.”
W ith th e close of the season people are inqu iring as to the fu tu re of

A Story of Ocean Grove
(W ritten in 1S73 by J. A. Bradley.)One evening in IS— two young
women cam e out of, tiie old Method ist Church a t Long B ranch. Not tiie la rge church w hich G eneral G ran t nltonded in sum m er, b u t the li t t le old church w hich Btands opposite to it, now used for stores.
One of the young women looked anxiously around, as if expecting to m eet some one. H er companion observed it, and tak ing her arm said earnestly , ''M attie , please don’t."
The words lind scarcely been u ttered when a young man came h as tily tow ard them , and offered him self as escort to the two ladies.
In a sh o rt time they reached the hom e of one ot the ladies, whose nam e was -Mary, w here “ good n ig h ts" w ere exchanged, and the rem ain ing two continued th e ir walk.
The follow ing day M attie called on M ary, and a f te r the usual g ree ting, M ary said, frank ly , . ‘‘M attie, I w an t to ta lk to you about— ”
“ Oh, nonsense," in terrup ted M attie, “ don’t commence th a t old stra in again . I assure you It Is as tiresom e and insipid as the perpetual squeak of an ancien t hand organ. If I choose to have a li ttle sport, pray don’t distu rb me in it. I t won’t do me any h arm .”
"W o n 't do any h a rm !” said Mary. How little you know of .the hum an h e a r t!"
"P sh a w !” replied M attie. “ If you include S tephen 's heart, you mako a s lig h t m istake. W hy lie’s not su fficiently ‘compos m entis’ by n a tu re to know w hat love is, even if he has a h e a rt a t a ll."
B u t we m ust re trace our steps, and give the reader a b rief account of the h isto ry of these two friends.
M attie was a very p re tty g irl, and had come to lie recognized as the belle of th e village In w hich our story commences. H er company had been sought by m any— young men who were quickly charm ed by her b rig h t, p re tty face, and had allowed th e ir hearts to become ensnared before they were them selves conscious of th e danger, u n til they awoke to the sad fact th a t I hey had been beguiled, a t the caprice of a p retty face, into a foolish flirtation , to bo throw n aside when tho "sp o rt,” as M attie called It, grew wearisome to her. So it came to pass th a t her repu tation as a thorough flirt became established, and young men w ere more cautious in th e ir friendly advances. Occasionally one know ing h er character as a coquette would n r t only no t seek her acquain tance, b u t avoid her society altogether.
W henever M attie heard of a case of th is kind she seemed determ ined to conquor, and .would put.' herself in h is way. employing, often too successfully, all those li ttle a r ts to cap tiva te w hich g irls have studied too well.
H er friend M ary W inslilp, w as (wo or th ree years older, a ttrac tiv e in person and cultu red In mind. She possessed a womanly, d ign ity , too, w ith th a t ra re good sense which fitted h er to be the companion of old or young; equally well. Yet even a stran g er could perceive .on a sho rt acquain tance w ith her, th a t there was a cloud of sadness hanging over h er young life. She was cheerful a lways, bu t subdued, as th e wisdom and experience of years were m ingled w ith her youth.
Very few knew why she was not more like her young associates. None ever knew from her Ups how h er young h ea rt had been crushed by disappointm ent.
B ut we w ill use an au th o r’s p riv ilege and te ll the reader, th a t her charac te r m ay be b e tte r understood.
Among the m any visito rs a t Long B ranch in th e sum m er of 18— , waB a young m an named W illiam A rlington , who belonged to a n old and very w ealthy fam ily in V irginia. Some how or o ther he had become acquain ted w ith M ary, and they w ere very much attached to each o ther.
H er p aren ts w ere pleased w ith th e young stran g er, and w ere proud in th e th o u g h t of th e ir d au g h te r’s prospective good fo rtune in a uni ,n ■with a man of Intelligence and social position.
A rling ton did no t acquain t his p aren ts w ith the fac t of h is intim acy •with th e W lnsh lp fam ily ; b u t It reached them through tho ofllcious kindness of some friends who were, cognizant ol th e whole m atter.
A rlington, senior, was exceedingly w roth In arrogance, and pride of fam ily, and w ent th rough the usual fo rm u la adopted from tim e immem oria l in sim ilar cases. Ho th re a tened to disown and d isin h erit his son and he ir, if he persisted in con- sum ating th e foolish alliance. Of course the tender youngling, having no m eans of support, and being by b ir th a gentleman-— in o th er words, unab le to labor— was very much alarm ed a t th e adverse tu rn fortune w as tak ing . I t was not h is fa th e r’s displeasure, so m uch as th e unw elcome prospect of w ork and lim ited allow ance, before w hich he quailed.
T e t M ary was very dear to him , and ho had engaged him self to her, and felt th a t he could no t th u s lig h tly re linqu ish h er; so ho began to arrange a plan by w hich h is fa th e r 's d isp leasure would be appended, and at the sam e tim e secure to h im tho only girl he had ever, rea lly loved. .
A sho rt tim e a fte r, w hile bidding ■Mary good n ig h t a f te r an evening v isit, he lingered h es ita tin g ly under th e old tree a t th e garden gate, and M ary quickly , d ivined th e re wa3 som ething upon h is m ind w hich he desired, yet. dreaded, to express.
She suggested th a t h is m anner w as m ore constrained th a n usual, an d inqu ired the cause. He then to ld h e r of h is fa th e r ’s disapproval of h is acquain tance w ith her, and of his unw illingness to displease him . “But,” said he, “ dear M ary, I have
thought of a way, w hich, if you will only consent, will qulot hlB rears- and mako mo happy forevor. F a th e r 1b old and cannot possibly llvo many years longer. Wo can bo married privately and live apart, meeting' oc •
caslonally as wo havo dono u n til hlB death , and then 1 can announco publicly th a t you havo been my wifo for some tim e. W ill my M ary consent io tlliB?"
He held her hand as lie asked tho earnest question, bu t she drew it from ills grasp as she looked steadily Into h is pleading eyes, and calm ly, bu t firmly, answ ered "N ever! never! no, never! My fam ily may not be able to boast of noble and d istinguished m embers, bu t they have alw ays been known ns Chris- tian and v irtuous people. W hen th ey have m arried, they have donv, so before tho world. I would ra th e r ho the acknowledged w ife of the poorest honest m an in the town th an th e secret w ife of a prince. No, W illiam , I need no t te ll you now brigh t and sw eet tho dream of my life, m ingled an d interb lended w 'th yours, has been to me, b u t— ”
She paused for a m om ent to re* gain the self-control w hich was fas^ ebbing ou t— “ we m ust p a r t forever how !” She hurried ly tu rn ed away and en tered the house. He w aited, like one in a m aze, for several m inutes, th en slow ly tu rned h is steps
.tow ard h is hotel.M ary secured herself In her quiei
cham ber, th rew herself upon the bed and wept in tho b itte rness ot her soul. The b righ t, b eau tifu l futu re had suddenly been enshrouded In a pall of gloom w hich It seemed to her no coming sunshine could ever dispel. Hope had died in her heart. In her sorrow she rem em bered th a t God had prom ised to help iu tim e of need, and comfort the tem pest-tossed soul. She read her favorite passages in h er l i t t le Bible and was comforted. In tbe m orning she came forth from th e battle a conqueror. She had consecrated her life in those s till n ig h t hours to the causo of God. not by secluding herself In u convent, but by resolving hencefo rth to give her life, h e r love and sym pathies to th e sorrow ing and suffering all around hor.
Such was M ary who rem onstrated w ith her friend M attie about the tlirtatlon.
Stephen was an exceileut m echanic, respectable, though poor, aud was h ighly esteemed by those who knew him. He was confiding and g irl-like in h i s ‘natu re , his chief weakness being his child-hko faitn and tru s t in everybody. Those who sa ined h is confidence and then bc- t rayed it, som etim es said as an excuse for themselves, th a t lie was ju s t a l i t t le sim ple— not a ltogether b righ t, lie was a good son to h is widowed mother, und besides tak ing care of her, supported th e orphan child ot his only b ro ther, who lost h is life is assisting to rescue persons from a shipw reck a t Long Branch.
M attie, a t the tim e of w hich wo are w riting , counted among her victories our friend Stephen. I-Iow happily the days sped on to him in the m idst of his self-denying toil as he th o u g h t of M attie, and wove brigh t dream s of fu tu re bliss. Sho had played w ith th a t confiding heart as carelessly and indifferently as sho W’ould pass a candy m otto a t an evening party .
Mary W lnshlp saw a ll this, and realizing fu ll the sufferings It would surely cause, 'e a rn es tly begged her friend to stop ere it was too late.
“ Pshaw '!" said M attie. “How solemn you are. You havo m istaken your vocation, Mary. A convent, and a black vail, and com plete lg norance forever of hearts and love, and a ll th a t so rt o t th in g would su it your style exactly ; b u t for me, if I feel like having a ‘la rk ’ now and then, I ,w ill; and no one shall in te rfere— "
"M attie , listen to me, I beg of you; life Is not all made up, ot >cuth. Youth Is only the seed tim e of th e life’s harvest th a t is to come, and there are m any who reap b itte r sorrow s in middle- life and: old age from thoughtless sowing, when they little thought or carea for the reap ing tim e,”
M attie was annoyed by M ary’s reproof, b u t she tossed her head auci- ly, saying, "W ell,-1 m ean to have 'an o th er s ir in g to my bow’ in about two weeks, and I shall flirt w ith Stephen til l then , poor fellow! I t 's a u ,a c tu a l ch arity to him , you know, he loves me so.” And kissing the sedate M ary she ra n ligh tly away.
T rue to h er determ ination , sho lavished all her a tten tio n upon Stephen for a few weeks; and he—- well, h is whole h e a r t was absorbed in the faith less g irl.
One Sunday evening, a f te r th» church was dismissed, he w aited, as usual, upon the w alk to accom pan; M attie home. Judge ot h is su rprise a i she carelessly sw ept by him, clinging lovingly to th e arm of a stranger.
He entered h is hum ble abodo earlier th an was h is wont, th a t Sunday eve. H is m other noticed 5. change in h is appearance. Tho b righ t, happy sm ile was gone, and a se ttled gloom had taken its place.
He re tired to h is room, bu t no t to s leep . H is m other heard h is Blow s te p w earily pacing the floor' tho n ig h t through . She guessed the cause, for M attie 's repu ta tion as a flirt was known far and wide. Yet sh e fe lt ra th e r glad th a t i t w as a t an end, and hoped in a few weoke ho would have fo rgo tten her, and be him self again.
Stephen w ent to h is w ork as u sual the next m orning, and re tijrned in the evening, and; so passed day a f te r day, bu t oh, how shorn of Its simple, peaceful happiness h is home had become. H e would s it and th in k for hours, and w hen spoHgn to by his m other, w ould s ta r t from h is s tu por only to relapse Into- th a t Btrange quiet again.
I t soon becam e th e ta lk of the vllfage th a t Stephen M orris w as “ loved cracked,” and no one laughed louder or moi;e h ea rtily over the th in g th an M attie.
Weeks rolled on, and the friends of Mrs. Morris sympathized deeply wtlh her, for Stephen began to nogleet his work, and the loss of his wages was severely felt by the widow’s little family. After a time Stephen s&emed, to arouso hlmsolf,
b u t as he passod along th e Btreet ho hard th ings repeated, by boys and g irls which ho told in confidence to M attie, proving clearly to him th a t sho was m alting him tho spo rt of tho place.
* * * V * .Ono afternoon there was a g roat
s tir 111 tho qu ie t village of Long Branch. Miss M attie W oolley was to be m arried to a gentlpm an from Now York.
He had been sum m ering a t one of the hotels, and accidentally m eeting M attie, was captivated . It w as the s tran g e r Stephen had seen w ith hei She had a t las t gained the prize sh« had sought. She had vowed she would m arry only Mr w ealth and position, nnd now the day had come th a t would m ake h er a rich m an ’s bride. There was a large company a t her fa th e r’s com fortable home, and m any and choice were th e b ridal g ifts from fam ily and friends. It was arranged for the bridal p a rty to s ta r t the nex t day for Philadelphia, lind i t was th e p leasure of the b ridegroom th a t th e journey should bo made in carriages.,
The hour had come. C arriages were in w aiting , and those who wero to accom pany tho happy p a ir wero already seated. I t Was th e b ride’s tu rn , when ju s t as she w as stepp ing in to th e carriage a te rrib le , h e a r trending scream was heard. F or a m om ent all was confusion and In qulry. The bridegroom w ishing, to avoid any u np leasan t scene, i f 'such there was, signaled to the coachm an to proceed. “ No! n o !” said M attie, “ I m ust know the causo of th a t fe a rful c ry .” They halted for a few m inutes, when a friend re tu rned an a inform ed them th a t -the scream s came from widow M orris’ home. H er only son Stephen, had been found drowned 111 T u rtle Mill Pond, ana Ills body had ju s t been b rough t to his m other’s house.
Tlio bride sank back Into th e ca rriag e fa in ting . There was g re a t confusion. I t would no t do to proceed upon th e ir journey u n til she was re stored, so she was removed from the carriage to the house agalu , and tiie carriages were dismissed.
A few hours la te r M ary sto o d .b j tiie bed upon w hich lay M attie, now Sirs. Giles. M attie requested a ll to leave the room except her friend Mary.,
W hen they were alone sho was about to speak, but the fea rfu l scream s from tho widow’s home sta rtled her again , and she san k back upon tiio lied p rostra ted . At length she said, “Oil, Mary, you said youth was the ‘sow ing’ and age the 'ren^Jng ' tim e; the 'refjp ing ' tim e has corny early to me. W a s . i t I th a t made poor Stephen crazy? Am 1 tiie cause of those aw ful screams'. Tell me, Mary, for I am dreadfu lly w retched.’’
Mary could no t answ er, for she knew too well h e r friend was reap ing sooner, m uch sooner, th an she expected. She would gladly have done an y th in g in her power to lessen the g rief of her friend, b u t she could only look on in silence ana pity .
In a few days a f te r th e m arriage ceremony, and the funera l of Stephen, who w as buried a t Mechan- icsville, m atte rs moved on In their accustom ed ro u tin e In the village. Mrs. Giles had gone aw ay w ith her husband, and th e widow was supported by th e k indness of friends, b u t th e beBt am ong them a ll was M ary W lnshlp.’ They had o ften m et in class m eet, ing, and the sw eet sing ing of Mary w as full of com fort to her crushed heart. A fter m eeting M ary usually accom panied her home, and on one occasion, as M ary w as about to bid her good-night, the widow said, "How s tran g e i t Ib th a t you can sym pathize w ith suffering, w hen you have been so free from it yourself. Your life has been like an even-spun th read .” M ary kissed the widow, w hile th e g rea t tea rs gathered in her eyes as she sim ply said, “Every h e a rt know eth ItB own b itte rness—

On a b rig h t A ugust day, a few years subsequent to the scenes we have narra ted , th e re wore Indications of unusual In terest In the vic in ity of th e camp ground.
I t was the las t day b u t one, of th e m eeting, anil crowds came pouring, into the gates from all th e country around. C arriage . a f te r carriage rolled up to the broad landing, and depositing its happy-hearted burden moved on to give place to others (1873).
Stages, ancien t rockaw'ays, old- fashioned carryalls, th a t had beei) sacred to Sunday use for generations, followed each o th er In rap id succession to th e p latform . T here wais F arm er Jones, froni C hestnu t P lains, in h is g re a t tw o-horse farm w agon; Ills wife, in holiday trim , beside him w ith sm iling, lmppy face, w hile u p on th e clear yellow s tra w in th e b o ttom of tho wagon wero th e rem ain ing tw elve m em bers of h is num erous fam ily, la r g e 'a n d sm all. Ju s t 'beh ind h im followed a p la in , u n p re ten tious team , driven by a gentlem an of m arked dem eanor. As th ey reach ed th e lan d in g he sp ran g from his seat, and assisted the sweet-faced lady who occupied th e se a t beside him to a lig h t, th en tu rned h is a t te n tion to the two ladles upon the back seat. One required no a id ; as she stepped lig h tly upon th e p la tfo rm : b u f the o th er was old and feeble, very feeble, and w as helped from the carriage with g rea t difficulty. Sho was ev idently an object of tender solicitude to the l i t t le g roup th a t had her in charge, and w as soon seated In a cam p-chair, w hile the gentlem an secured h is horse on tho opposite side of th e avenue. When lio re tu rn ed he carefu lly assisted tho old lady, w ith the help of tho younger ladies, alm ost ca rry in g h er betw een them to th e p reach ing stand. Then, a f te r sea ting them com fortably beneath a shady oak ,he took ills place in the preachers’ stan d am ong h is m in iste ria l b re th ren .
He was a preacher ot m arked d istinction am ong them , aud was cot- diaily greeted by th e p resid ing eld-
who invited him to read th e opening hym n, and lead tho vast
I congregation In prayer.The hym n was announced, “ On
Jo rd an ’s storm y banks I s ta n d .” and w hile it was being sung, as such an audience only could slug it, a l i t t le commotion w as caused by the a r rival of a m agiiiilcciit tu rn o u t draw n by fotir noble horses, whose b u rn ish ed harness sparkled in tho sun ligh t, and m ade them seem like a superior nice of an im als as they pranced gay- lv on. Coachman and footm an in splendid livery kept guard over th is e laborate equipage, w hich contained bu t two persons— a m other and h er li t t le d au g h te r abou t e igh t years of age. As th ey drew up a t the
D uring n p ro trac ted m eeting hold one w in te r a t Long B ranch, tho pasto r was assisted by a young m an who had Just graduated . H e was very zealous as well as talen ted , und h is lnbors w ere productive of much good. H e w as often b rough t into con tac t w lh M ary W lnshlp, whoso sw eet sing ing w as a g rea t charm of th e social m eetings.
One n ig h t, a f te r th e services were over, tho young preacher asked permission to accompany her home; he was charm ed w ith her m anners, and a f te r a few calls, asked of her fa ther fee privilege of y ljltin g the house, as a su ito r for the hand of ills daughter. T he fa th er smiled, and said; "M ary m ust anBwer for hor- B elf.”
A few evenings subsequently , tho young m in ister told M ary of his in terv iew w ith h er fa ther, and of h is a ttach m en t to herself. She w as embarrassed for a few m inutes, then recovering h er composure, said, "I am very much pleased w ith your good opinion ot me, b u t believe me w hen I B a y I cannot become your wife. I respect your charac te r and your w ork; I adm ire your ta len ts, and sha ll alw ays esteem i t an honor to be num bered am ong your friends. I already regard you as my bro ther, and I sha ll always, feel an in terest In you. and p ray fo r your success In your chosen vocation."
Ho thanked h e r fo r h e r candoi, and soon a f te r le f t th e place. Mary sorresponded w ith him , and in a year afte rw ard s a b rida l p a rty was gathered In an old-fashioned m ansion In T ren ton .

After desc rib ing phases ot life, Bhowlng in a ll its vividness, th e reap ing of such cowing, he passed on to tho fu tu re— tho reap ing tim e of th e soul. Many a s in n e r In th a t b rea th less audleuco quailed before th e s ta rtlin g p ic tu re p resen ted to th e ir m inds by tho p reacher. W ith te a rfu l eyes he w arned them of th e ir danger, and w hile alm ost overcome by emotion, hu said, “ T hank God!

"A nd , now,” said the preaohex, “I come to th e joyful p a rt of my se rmon— th e sowing and th e reap ing ot tho C hris tian .” With m aste rly touch he depicted th e tria ls , crosses and self-denials of many a lover of C hrist; tho sow ing in tears, in pain, in w eariness, in reproaches, in poverty , in scorn, in contum ely. H e a lluded to th e adversities and afflictions th a t had been th e h eritag e of m any of God’s .chosen oneB from earliest tim e, w hich had been so g rand ly borne by prophets and m arty rs , and no t less so by th e hum ble and unknow n everyw here, whose subllmA record o f p a tien t, enduring t ru s t was w ritte n on im perishable tab letB ‘above.

"Come, ye blessed of , my fa th er, In h e rit th e kingdom prepared, for you.’ Sowing in sorrow , you reap everlasting joy.

W ho th a t looked upon th a t scono and beheld the r a p t countenance, and s tream ing eyes of th e preacher as ho u tte red these concluding worda could ever fo rget it!
H e sa t down. Tho vast audienco was deeply moved, and gave expression to th e ir feelings In shouts ana joyful exclam ations. B ut there was one soul th a t fed upon Ills concluding words, and felt th a t portion of the serm on was pecu liarly fo r her. Sht, had long desired th a t the Lord of the harvest should call her home.

She seemed r lv ited fo r a m om ent, th en tu rned death ly palo, for, In tho pallid face, around w hich a halo of heavenly lig h t already seemed to beam , she recognized the aged m other of Stephen M orris, and beside h er p illow ing th e g ray head upon h er bosom sa t M ary W inship, whom she had n o t seen for m any years.

As M ary en tered th e ten t, Mrs. Giles b u rst in to tea rs and claspea M ary in h e r arm s. W hen she could command her voice she asked the lady who owned th e te n t, if they could be alone for a few .m om ents.

Paganini, tho brilliant, dazzling, comet-llke apparition, overawed the masses, for whose favor he made a high Md, while the German, the serious, dlgullied, deep artist, appealed to the connoisseurs and cultured musicians. Spohr- both by precept nnd example exerted a tremendous Influence on violin playing nnd violin composition and. Iii fact, on composition ln general. The greatest musicians of his day stood in aw e of him, and even Kichard Wagnor, a fte r Spolu" had produced "The Flying Dutchman" n t Cus- sel in 1S43, where he was then conductor of the. opera. In a letter w ritten to the great violinist displayed a sense of gratitude of which iu la ter years he seemed Incapable. Spohr died n t Cas- sel in 18»a

I t Is not uncomplimentary for me to say that, ivlille I am deeply sensible of the honor you have done me, my heart having been given to another, 1 am unable to reciprocate. Doubtless there are many more worthy than I to possess you.”
"I honor you," said the girl, "for your manly statem ent of tho case between us. H ad I expected ■ you to make any other I would have been criminal in sending for you. Since I am to be w ithout you for eternity, I ventured to ask you to give me this one meeting thut 1 may remember it through .my lonely life.”
H ad it not been for the contrasts between H art’s dream and this reality perhaps he would have shown u natural weakness. Had he not been an

“ i tru s t th a t we part w ith inuUial respect.”

Nevertheless the work of getting him ’ out of thrall had beeu but half neeum-i plished. T hat sob remained with him.

This view of the case commended itself to Mr. H art, and he told Miss Fisher that he would dismiss the mat- ! te r from liis mind.

E dito r of T im es:— I am recoverin g from u collapse caused by the heated term in A ugust, and am spending a few days am ong the P ennsy lvan ia hills, w here th e cool sw eet m ountain a ir and the clim bin g of th e old-tim e range of h ills a re b ring ing back the s tren g th w hich the heat had taken aw ay.

On the first day of my a rriv a l th e re was a reunion of th e Spadem an fam ily held in th e farm house b u ilt by th e founder of the fam ily. T he fam ily of my hosts is re lated to them , and w ere a n a tu ra l p a r t of th e one hundred and fifty people who a ttended , an d who somehow secured an inv itation for me.

The orig inal Spackm an w as a poor boy, who came th ere in th e fou rteen th cen tu ry and by a th r if ty in telligence succeeded to the ow nership of a farm , to w hich an o th e r was added.

I t w as the r igh teous boast, made a t th is g a th ering , th a t no one bearing the Spackm an nam e had ever appeared in th e courts as a crim inal.
The occasion .was celebrated a fte r P re sby terian fashion—*in tab les spread along the house porches, leaded w ith every conceivable prep a rtio n of £ood. healthy fuml. prepared in a good, healthy way of cooking, to w hich all th e ripe fru its ot the s e a s o n w ere .p lentifu lly added., and ornam ented .both w ith the (lowers of th e au tum n and th e genial wii of suggestion and repartee— a y.’i whose lium or had n o spice of malice •in it, o r an y th in g th a t could be cons tru ed in to an offense.

R e v - B i l l s a F l o w e r E n t h u s ia s t .T he immense show er bouquet of
dah lias i« fro n t of the pu lp it a t S t P au l’s church last Sunday aroused cc.usiderable comment because of th e varie ty and beau ty of the blooms. It came from th e parsonage law n and contained some choice sam ples from the great- divisions of th e d ah lia fam ily, including , single, -century , peony flowered, 'co lla re tte , ‘ pompon, show, decorative and cactus varie ties.
Rev. J.. IX Bills, th e pastor, has selected h is p lan ts w ith g rea t care and has had a continuous display bloom ing in profusion since the first of Ju ly , betw een fo rty and fifty d istin c t nam ed varie ties we have noticed. Some of them sing le and sim ple and some looking like big chrysanthem um s and peonies.
The peony flowered d ah lia is the la test creation of the dah lia grow ers and is alm ost as s tr ik in g an innovation as the cactus dah lia was.
, The , ever - bloom ing bu tterfly bushes, or sum m er lilacs, on th e rea r of the parsonage law n have also bloomed profusely and a ttrac ted much a tten tio n . '
M ay all o f .th em live in God has giyj&n,

Among those s ittin g besicle m e a t the table on the porch w ere two m aiden ladies, tw ins, who had been i com pany enough for each o th e r 1 w ith o u t adding the burden of a m an. One of them had taken the first prize in a Chicago exhibition for th e best pen and in k w ork draw ing of scenery on linen , and p ictu res of biru so rea l one could alm ost h ear th e ir sing ing and also th e m urm ur of the brooks as they w ent gurg ling by..
