S S I I S ® ^M y H abitation,“ How? is it,” said I,' “ tha t you walk

faster than T do ?" . ." I don’t know,” he replied, “ unices

its because I ’m younger, and more sup­pler like."' B ut he did not take into the account’that I had nearly three-pounds weight ill, boot and overshoe attached to each foot, besides a heavy blanket shawl, .overcoat and satchel’ to ; carry, while he was entirely unincumbered.'• “ How old are’you,” I asked.

“ Twenty-nine years, eir,” he replied.“ Twenty-nine years, are you, have

you ever voted ?”“ Yes sir, lost fail and last spring too,”

was his answer, and with this emphatic utterance, he seemed to gather a new inspiration, and walked bo fast that be­fore. I could ask another question, he was quite beyond convenient speaking distance. -

N ow ,said.I to myself, as he hurried on, what does all this m ean? - Is it a shadow of what is to com e? Is the African race, so long behind the Anglo- Saxon, to come up to it, paBs us, and leave us in the rear at last? And I meditated this question until I saw in the distance the little Navesink station.

JuBt as. my African friend stepped on the platform he looked around to - see how far he had left mp behind. But there was only about three minutes difference in our time, and bad I taxed my Strength a little, which I was not disposed to do, I think we should have come ou t very near abreast.

A t Navesink there were a few passen­gers, and the cap ta in , of the steamer Jesse Hoyt, awaiting the arrival of the train to take them to the steamboat a t Port Monmouth pier, a mile or so be­yond, to whom we brought the unwel­come hews of a break-down. ’ ,

Taking the road westward from the station, lees than a mile to New Mon­mouth, the show by reason of drifts was deeper, and the walking more difficult. -Btft/bo-Uetermined- will conquers,-aud we passed on., A quarter of am ile from New Monmouth tbore are three bridges, crossing as.many little streams, each about forty yards apart. Passing these •bridges one morning- last summer, I overtook an Irishm an driving a cow,. Coming to the middle bridge, he point­ed to a hole three or .four inches .in diameter, between the laat plank of the bridge and the earth adjoining. “ Do you see that,” said he, pointing to the hole. '

“ I do,” said I. .." Well,” said lie, “ last spring, as I

drove my cow out to pasture, I killed a snake with his head oat of th a t ; hole, Beven mornings hand-running, and after tha t I'saw two more, but they had got bo sly that I couldn’t get near enough to strike them .”

They were water snakes, and as they crawled up each morning from the stream below to this hole iri the bridge to sun themselves, my Irish friend greet­ed them with a sprig of shillalah as lie passed. H ow -true i t is, th a t from the days of m other Eve tili now, there’ has been between the hum an family and serpent race the rankest hatred.

Reaching the house of a friend atNew Monmouth, I was iri the enjoyment of the rich luxury of a winter perspiration, and needed not the aid of anthracite or wood to keep me warm. I t was now 9 o'clock A- M. I had walked nearly three miles and was yet three milpa from W aa Cuaak. How the last part of the jour­ney was to be performed I did not see just then, but concluded to await devel­opments. I did not wait long, .The tinkling of a few sleigh bolls was soon heard, and a roay-cheeked country.lad of eighteen yoars drove up with a couple of sprightly horses harnessed to a pair of sled runners, on which was plaoed the body of a farm wagon, nicely filled with straw. Stepping to the door, he asked if I was there, and being answered iri the a lUrmative, we took our seats and were soon dashing away in fine style. The only inconvenience we experienced was tha t aa the snow was wet it soon gathered in large balls on the horseB foet, which , not only interfered with th e ir : traveling;’ but in breaking loose every few. minutes, were thrown, with considerable force by tho horses heels intovour faces’. B ut ns snow balling, whether from horseB heels or from the hands of boys or^irls, is father a healthy exereiso, we did riot complain;..; I found my driver pleasant arid com­municative. . He. told jnp.w hai the oity hoys and g ir lB , arid perhaps some of'the meri and women residing the/e, may

not know ; tha t the Waa Cuaak neigh­borhood supplies New York city with the large proportion of the beautiful evergreens with which thoir Churches arid dwellings are decorated a t Christ­mas times. These greens consist of bearbush, cedar, liemlook, holly, laurel, pine and running vine, made into crosses, wreaths, stars, and Buch-other forms as fancy may suggest. H e said his parents had eightchildr.en, he being eighteen, was the? eldest, .while the youngest was but two years old, all of whom helped to m ake tho orossos and wreaths for market.

“ Yes,” Baid tho father, as I spoke to him about it afterwards, " they all help­ed, even little two-year-old Johnny-car­ried the frames o f light lathing to his m other and sisters, while they tied the vines nnd placed the red holly berries in the wreathe and crosses.’*-.

Johnny was frill of life iri his work, for lie had been promised a pair of new shoes a s -a Christmas present for his faithfulness, though his m other declar­ed, that in her opinion, Johnny made about as much work as lie did good. They commenced their work about the first ot December, and when Christmas came they counted up their gains, and found thatfor their five hundred crosses, seven hundred wreaths? fifty stars, and other things, they had cleared over all, expenses, one hundred and fifty dollars. A good' month's w ork ,' when; but for something of this kind they could have earned nothing, ,

W hen I reached the Church, which is small yet new and neat, I found that' while they had taken from the neigh­borhood m any loads of greens to New York oity, they had not neglected home, fo r'th e ir own .little house of worship was beautifully decorated also. Stars, orosses, wreaths; en tire trees of pine, cedar and. holly, wore placed around with becoming taste, until' the whole builditig smelled like a place which the Lord had blessed. How different was all this from the days of tbe Saviour’s nativity, when •“ Cold on hia cradle, the dew-drops wero shining. And low laid hia licad*with the heast.of the s ta l l , .’

and how different, too, from the days when our fathers worshiped in -barns and cabins, and felt highly favored in­deed, if a decent school-house was at tb e ir command.

I t was now only 10 o’olock, and as it was Saturday, but few had y e t assem­bled for, worship, and as two or three pereons stood around the stove, l ooked if . they knew what the Indian name W aa /h ia a k signified in English. “ I understand,” said one, “ it means Buck Creek.” I do not vouch for the correct­ness of this intrepretation, but there ia just a little west of the Church, a sor- pontine creek, up-which the tides from the bay (low freely, while on either side lie stretohes of meadow, a favorite resort for wild ducks, and I a t once thought I discovered a marked sim ilarity in the Bound of IPaa Cuaak, and the voice of ducks, as I havo seen aud heard scores of them fishing in the (edges of sedgy ponds and oreeks for food. Be this as it may, the Indians always have some good reason for their names.

A t half-past ton we had a nico little congregation and a good meeting. We dined a t a comfortable farm house, under the very -shadow of the Waa Cuaak light-house. Behind the huge cooking stove, whioh was delightfully warm, lay in beautiful confusion, four cats, one a maltsse, arid a white-coated, pink-eyed English rabbit, all as happy together as if brothor and sister of the feline race.?;?' ’ A?;;- J ;: •i.:-’?-/?:

After dinner, the sun having Bhoneso bright and warm all day, the sleighing was poor, and my good friend, tho min­ister from Keyport, meeting me with a nice horse and buggy, we immediately set our faces in that direction. I t be­ing the Inst day of the year, the services did riot commence a t K eyport until half-past eight p. M. W e had a sermon on the shortness of time. A t midnight we bowed upon our krieeB while thebeli tolled solomniy the hour of twelve.' All was silent as the reign of death, as with sincere hearts we dedicated ourselves anew to God. Then tho '.m inister ex­claimed, “ Old year, farewell I". After a m om ent’s pause, lie added, “ To the New Year, all h a il!” Still kneeling, the

.solemn covenant hymn was sung. When wo arose eaoh greeted the other with a “ H appy New Year,” and we started out w ith 'a determined will to be better fpr the year tri come... May hp who writes, and all who read, have grace al­ways to accomplish all our high resolves,

3lV- RKV. DR DEEMS.

..Fifty years,ago, in the pld Light St. Church, which was the successor,of the old meeting-house in Lovely Lane, Bal- timnre,- Rev. George Cookman, the elo­quent pastor, received me into the membership of the Methodist Episco­pal Church. I. was a small , boy, but Mr. Cookman believed I would m ake a faithful member. To day ? tho great Centennial meeting iu Baltimore ad­journs, having had a glorious reunion of .noble Methodists iri a magnificent church standing on a spot which was in the woods—Howard’s.Woods—when I became a Methodist. My father whs a Methodist preacher, and my m aternal grandfather, who waa also a Methodist preacher, died in the very town in which his.grandBOn was admitted to trial in a Methodist Annual Conference.

Soon after I became a member o fthe Church I went to College. The absorb­ing nature of my studies.and other in­fluences deadened m y . religious em o­tions; bo that sotnetiriies I felt as if I had no claim' to be considered religious. But,, in my deadest state, when }most worldly and ambitious, I never missed a class meeting. I had resolved to keep all the rules of tlie Church, and attend­ance at the class-meeting was one of them. I told 'most honestly all my de­fections, my worlilliness, my loss of as­surance, my general uriwortliiness, and my dislike of the clnss-meoting. But I told (hem that I intended to attend every week if it killed me, unless I should bo turned out of the Chuioh— which perhaps I ought to be ; but th a t I .wrtuld never voluntarily withdraw from the Church'. - And- they bore with' me, arid prayed over trie, and some of them wept over me, arid so I never missed class-meeting until I graduated, when I was full of zeal arid licensed to preach ! I shall thank God for ever for- Methodist plass-meetings.

Although I do no t now belong to Methodism, in the tense (comparing sm all with great) that John ' Wesley- in his latter days did not belong to the Es­tablished Church, yet Methodism be­longs 'to me,- and I claim everything good and noble arid sweet that grows on the top of that hill from whose height my m other and my father spread their wings to'soar away, and be forever a t rest-'. ■ , ' ' ■ ■ v

And this is 'th e semi-Centennial ex­perience of one who was received, into the Methodist -Episcopal Churoh in hiB boyhood, ju st half way between the Christmas Conference of 1784 and the Centennial Conference of 1884 .-I am going into the socond half-century of ■my ChriBtiari life, praying the prayer of Charles W esley: ?

m > - m Sealed and Precious, - • How to be Saved.... Tho following letter gives a clear idea as to liow the inquirers wSro dealt With in the Young People’s trieetings of last Summer, and tne wisdom; o f th e use of. God’s word in dealing with thosti who seek salvation. I t coines from one who is now hard a t work for her Master •

• P milAda., Dec. 9,1884.Mrt. Yat»ia,\' * * I knew noth­

ing of Christ’s love... I-th o u g h t to bri saved was to experience some great joy, somo great manifestation, arid was w ait­ing for th is ; b u t . waited in vain, and .“ .wodpi-ed.qn in the.darkness” unril.I- went to Ocean Grove, and attended your yoring people’s meeting.

The rest of the story is short and sini-' pie. I wondered if Christ the Redeemer could save a poor sinner like me. You told me he could, and was willing to save even m e.: But I did not feel th a t He did; or . would savo me, and hesi­tated, still waiting for feeling. But one morning, after pointing me to a num ber of passages clearly teaching that we are tri be saved by faith and simple trust, uot feeling. You turned the leaves of your Bible to the 24th chapter of Joshua, and at the 15th verso read to m e the words, “ Choose y e . this day whom ye will . serve,” After pom e hesitation, without a particle of feeling but that I needed a Saviour (did not even feel my-. se lf a sinner), I said I would serve God. That was a l l ; I had no more feeling afterward than before. B ut I had \yhat is far better than any feeling—God’s own word telling me '1 H e (hat believeth on the Son hath everlasting life ;” and 1 Jobn5:.10. I take conifort from the fact that m y Bins were laid on C hrist; I do not/eel they were there, but God says it. “ H e was ivoundsd for oiir trans- gressioris; tke chaatisemont of our peace was upon H im ," Therefore it would be unjust to lay it ou nie, believing oil H im . IIo is it real Saviour for real sin­ners. My only qualification for Such a Sa viour ts that I am such a sinner. And now I believe my sins are not on m e ,- notbscause I feel them gone, for I do not, but because God says they were laid on Christ. I am trusting H ini because He says I may, and 1 am going to tn y t H im always. M iss——r-.

“ Every one of n i iiuBt give account for himself unto God;” but, “ none of us iivetb to himBelf, and no m an dieth to himself.” , The respc-mibilities of character are utterly personal; yet the man who undertakes to keep his re­ligion all to himBelf will speedily find that he lias none to keep. In one sense no one can share your .religious, life with, yori; iri another sense you can lutvo no religious life if you do not share it with others.

“ After that yo believed ye were seal- td with that Holy Spirit of promise.” Blessed be God that tho promise of the Holy Spirit ib givqn to us, and we know- him as the Coniforter. B ut ho comes after we believe. Some persons . who fire/seeking Christ, want the comfort 'first, then they think it will lap easy to believe. God is honored when wc rest An his word alone, and -to such, Jesus /ays V Blessed are they who have not jeon and yot believe!"A-Our '.vo;l: ia tb beiievc, the, sealing is God’s work, and 0 how.faithful our cov­enant keeping God ia. We are always safe while standing ori the promises, “ H eaven and earth may pass away but God’s-word never.” • No soul has ever perished while resting on God’s word. We are safe on the rock, and the rock must?first be moved before we can per­ish. Blessed be G od! The idea of seal ing implies there is something valuable. No one ever seals a. worthless article. Again, aa soon os the seal is affixed, the precious contents are shut in, safe under the sea!. Praise God, the soul w.hom God seals is shut in by H im , so that we exclaim, " :■ . : - - ’?'• “ Hutl'er no nioru' to roam, - •' ■ •

Glory be to G od! for such tender, infinite love. We- can never fathom such lqvo, but to the trustful, believing soui, God reveals them by H is spirit. 0 ,;is not this soul-rest, this peace, love and fulness of joy that pervades tire soul of overy cotiBBorated follower Of Jesus worth Becking for ? 0 ye who are living far from God, draw near to' your ■ best Friend, and yield your first and ?best affections to Jesus and let H im supply evory need,.

SATURDAY, JANUARY a 1885,

Friends who usually club the Record with other papers will please inform, us of their wishes immediately.

Mr. J. H . Robinson, the plumber, lias been dangerously , ill, but wo are glad to learn is now slowly recovering,

Dr. Stokes was called on to attend the funeral of an old and valued irlend, a lady jqC aniden , oo Tuesday.' H e de­livered anNniprcsoive discourse on the occasion. >

The mails, after this holiday hurry ia over, will serve any of our distant sub­scribers .who wish’Vo rem it. A single dollar bill or a $2 will always reach ub safely if directed lo Ocean Grove, N. J .• Rev. J. B. Westcolt, pastor of St. Paul's, ia a t present confined to the par­sonage by an attack of nervous prostra­tion. H is devoted congregation insist that lie needs, and must take some rest.

V “ We are-ou t on the ocean sailing,” whs the tune of some of our adventurous Ocean Grove boys last Wednesday, who launched 'their lake boats and took a healthy pull fur into the oiling. Tho ssa,|bowever, was quitelcaim.

It.m ay serve the convenience of our Philadelphia friends, who wish lo see us atiNo. 14 north 7th street, to be more explicit. Saturday.and .Monday morn

. ings we expect to be thore, in Room 1, first-door p a right'after entering.

To give everybody a fair chance to ttop if they wish, wo thought it might be the best way to send out no paper

. until subscription was paid in advance. Some urge us to this course an’d it. is goneially followed, but there might be some offended, and to o ffend 'a living being is no t in our creed.

Mrs. J. Bilbrougli, of Philadelphia, a iife-long acquaintance of the late .Mrs Alary Scolliu, hearing of the deatu of the latter, hastened to the Grove on Tuesday last to attend the funeral nor vices, and is now stopping a few days with her friend, Mias Sarah Scoliin, who in her loneliness appreciates very high­ly this favor.

Rev. Dr. W ythe filled the place ol pastor Westcott, a t St. Paul’s lost Sab­bath morning, and preached a pro­foundly inspiring sermon on the event which transpired long ago a t Bethle­hem of Judea.” W hile Nhi'ithenlK iv,itched th c lr Hocks hy night,'

All Hcuicd on Hit?T he Angel o f th e I/R d cumeOoivn,

And glory t-liouc uroum l.''

Now. then, as we are fairly launched on a . new year, let us all—editor and readers, do the best we can. These who think o f giving u p the R e c o r d will begin to feel lonesome without i t 'in a few weeks, and with the opening sea­son, will want it any how—so just hold on, enclose us a dollar, and possibly we may be able to make the paper this year better, than ever before.

Wo made what they call a raid on Dr', Stokes’ treasury of old MSS. the other day, and secured ono of its numerous quaint, curious and useful sketches for this number; H e addresses it to our juvenile readers, hut, like the children’s

■ letters from abroad, all of which are in the book " W hat I saw in Europe,” the older people will be the moat interested readers. Anyhow, we m ein this year to got a t thoso scrap hooks frequently.

The- funeral of Sirs. Scoliin on . last Tuesday afternoon was one of those oc- casions, of which we have witnessed m any a t Ocean Grove, .where, ripe for the heavenly garner, and closing a long blessed life of usefulness, suffering saints take wing for Heaven, and their friends gather around the bier, not to

• mourn but magnify the grace of God in their lmppy exit. I t aeonta at such times as if the gates of glory open wide, and surviving pilgrims “ their better portion trace.”

Iri addition to her present corps of teachers, Miss R obb, principal of Sea- sido H om e School, Aabury Park, has secured tho valuable services of Miss Frances B. Thomas, of New York, a graduate of: Holland Patent- Norma! Sohool and a very able teacher of Cal­isthenics, Mathematics, &c. Form er pupils desiring aueh drill can receive in ­structions in gymnastics with tbs classes

, to be formed in tho school the first of the new year Special advantages are given in this institution to those who wish tostudy music and languages.

1885.For a few days succeeding the first

dull morning in January,, it may be difficult to remember the correct thing in dating our diary, We are such crea­tures of habit that '.SI will slip in with­out thought, but 'So wiil soon become familiar.

188.5, then all, hail! We have crossed, the invisible line on tho best, of terms with whatever fortune or Providence has in store for us, and with new resolves to net a better part; redeem the passing tim e and fill up the measure of every day • in the spirit of the venerated “ Shorter Catechism,” “ To gjorify.God, that wo may enjoy him forever."

Tho New Year.BY REV, W. C. SMITH,' t). 1),

W hat is a year? I t is only a fragment of time. I t is measured duration. One seventieth of m an’s allotted life. One year ago it came to be crowned, -. And surely God-has crowned -•'* the year with His goodness.” Lika a queen she came beautiful in her memories, graceful, in her manners, kind in her spirit .arid generous in h er offering, lovely in .her robes, pleasant in her greetings, strong >n her attachm ents, eventful iu her his, ta t f , and affecting iu her departure. Bhe has been a good friend, A year ago shefcatne tripping , oh the moun- t tins, over tbe’plaihB, in the valleys and along the stream s, : She came with songs, sometimes in strains loud and strong, and sometimes plaintive and sa d , God h£s placed the. crown on her brow. I t is refulgent will; His glory. I t is affecting to part with this old friend. But We shall m eet again; “ Our works shall follow ub IV

But, va t. cannot be insensible to. the losses sustained and sufferings caused

. by bereavements, and that around many a table and in many a pleasant home during "these- holidays, tliere will be m any vacant elmirs, silent voices, and missing forms: Yet-God 'has preserved .us .and we.come to the close o f the year surrounded with many comforts and blessings. Let us he grateful to the God of all our m ercies. I t .was a beautiful custom ainong the Jews to bring the first fruite of,the earth as a thank offer- ing to GoU, and when the harvests were gathered then came, the- Feast of Taber­nacles, celebrated with joy through an entire week with boughs of goodly trees, such as the palm, willoiy and myrtle, tisd together with gold and silver cords, held aloft in their hands, the people m arching into the temple and around the altar singing Hosannah.

Ob 1 how- exempt most of us have been from any but the ordinary cares and vicissitudes of life. iY bit but bap pencd in many families .m ight have happened in ours. . B ut fathers, you are in life and health, the, gujdes. and protectors o f your, households. You mothers, a te spared to watch with 'ten­der anxiety which n o n e 'b u t ’mothers can leel for your rising charge; You,' dear children, a re not left orphans, but are still permitted to see before you the

guides of your youth. No change of circumstances, baa plunged ’you into difficulty or ruin. No stains as fuller; on your good name No outward pres­sure has produced among you long and distant separation in foreign lands or deadly olimatea. What a blessing that as sisters, parents and children, we have bean spared to give and receive instruc­tion in the family and in the house of God during another year.

But many during the past year have been made acquainted with the renew­ing grace of God. You ' were as sheep going astray,” but have returned to the “ Shepherd and'B ishop of souls.” Same of you were “ dead in trespasses and sins, but. have been made alive through Jesus Christ our Lord." At the begin­ning of the year you were in the world and on the road to ruin, hut a t the end of the year yon are found in th e house of God and on the way to heaven.

W anderers have also been reclaim ­ed, and the Shepherd says “ rejoice with me for I have found my sheep that was lost," . -■ ... .; .' : .

Mrs. Mary Scoliin.•Two or three years ago, the subject

of tisis notice, arid her daughter, Mise Sarah Scoliin, being comparatively the last of their own immediate: kindred, were attracted, id Qaean .Grove, as a qu ie t and congenial home, after many years of active business life. They pur­chased property and settled comfort­ably a t corner Mt. H erm an and New York avenues, removed; their Church membership from Arch St!, Philadel-. phia, with which they were Identified from its foundation, to 8t. Paul’s Church, and" became a part of our pleaeant com­munity.

The health of Mrs. Scoliin had been precariotta for several years, requiring thi» constant m inistrations of h er loving daughter; until a*few weeks ago, when signs off approaching .death became more noticeable. Sho gradually sank, u n til . lust Sabbath evening when the weary wheels of life stood still, she hav­ing passed the boundary of four score yesrs. . ' • _jk.

H alf a century ago she was known m the southwestern section of Philadel­phia as one of the most active promo­ters of every good word and work. She followed the useful avocation of a school teacher, and never, probably, were tbe duties of th a t profession more con­scientiously performed 'than' in her hon­orable career of 85 years. H er spare hours were tlevoled to missionary work, Sahbatb-school teaching, arid other efforts to bless the poor and neglected population of the rapidly increasingcity, She; was then a respedted arid proriii- neal. member of St. Andrew’s. P. .3. Church, but had.* heart large enough, and a. hand ever ready to help every denomination. ...

In f oe founding of Briokmakers, now Western SI. E. Church, she took an ac­tive part', and many asou l converted in the great revivals of those days, could trace to her active labors t ad influence the means by which they. Were brought to God.

•Sarah when a small girl was convert-: ed, and wishing to join the M,E,Church, her mother, encouraged the child, and actually obtained. her letter and joined with her. Since then both have been faithful followers of Jesus, and among the m ost unobtrusive but benevolent friends of religious progress. For 27 years they resided in one home,.South Fifteenth street, where Sarah kept a Btore, while her mother, ™ long as pos­sible continued in her loved employ as a skillful teacher of youth, frequently gaining public commendation for. her devotion and success.

She was a .lady of refined manners, dignified in address, affable with her friends, and always true a t s te e l,to tbe governing principles af rectitude and religion she taught others. Owing to feeble health neither m other nor daugh­ter were able to take any prominent part in tbe great activities of the Grove, but their, hearts beat in sympathy with everything lovely arid of good report.

Tire last hours of this dear " Mother in Israel,” were attended with divine consolation. Even in moments of ab- eration, her mind called , up the scenes of former days, in her sehool-rooni, or places of devotion, and the hour of her departure was a joyous relief from the burden of years and pain.

On Tuesday afternoon, Deo, 30, the funeral a ttracted . a large attendance. In a vary beautifui casket reposed her rem ains,.the features presenting a . pic­ture of sweet repose. Rev’s.' S. Jaquett; I. B. Heroy, H . B! Beegie, G. Wi Evans and A. Wallace, topk part in the simple

services, tho former deliverings beauti­ful address; and: the latter giving a sketch o th e r varied life, crowded as it' was with doing good. Bro. Evans sung the old liymn, “ There’s nothing true but heaven,” of whioh the following are the closing stanzas; .

“ Tho clouds disperse, the light appears,My sins are nil forgiven ; • : ' .

T rium phant grace has tjuelk'd my fears,JtoII on ye suns, lly sw ill, ye yvara, ■

I’m-oil thc ;wing for heaven.

And now I Wd the world adieu,Let life’s dull chains be riven,

The ebium s of Christ lravo caught m y vlowj Tbo.world o f light I w ill pursue,

To live with him in heaven.”

On the eastern slope of Mt. Prospect Cemetery, her body was committed to the grave in sure and certain hope of a glorious .resurrection, the. beautiful ritual service which, in life she so much admired, being read, as dust was com­mitted to dust, by Rev’s. Jaquett, Beegie and A. Wallace,

Slsio’E Faith and Fortune,BY M. L. W.

CHAP. VI.Mr. Gray was the first to speak a

word of comfort.“ She is a t feat now, and not only that,

bu t.h ap p y as tbe angels: in H eaver. We need riot mourn ..for her now, for her sorrows are all over.” May the little Elsie never know such.” . j

“ No, indeed ; and she never shall" She shall never marry unless she mar-:; risii a good tem perance - man, and con live here at borne with us.”

" No, I.th ink so, too,” said Mr. G ray; “ but ara we not looking forward a good ways;" hud a smile cam e to both" faces as they realized how .prem ature their plans for the child were.

From this moment Elsie's life and fu­ture’were She important- thought that shaped ail the affairs of that home.

Mrs. Gray gave orders to the servants to do everything for Miss Elsie, but while sil did fo r her, she did for all. She never cared for herself, but was al­ways caring for others, . until • Mrs. Gray was led to exclaim :

“ She is.tha oldest child for her years I ever knew, and tho most unselfish. Why, if I ever feel the need of any­thing th a t child understands i t before­hand, arid is sure- to get it for m e .; She is a natural care taker, yet Beems never to have a -oars. She knows m ote about the house now-a-days than I do, and is always wanting m e to rest. , I never bad so easy a. time since 1" begaa keeping house.' The servants arc an fond ot her, they: are as kind they can be, rind she has fillcd the houte with suoh a sunny, happy spirit, that she be­comes a greater blessing every day. She loams" her lessgne easily, and her music is just woudorful. H er teacher says she has an extraordinary musical gift, and 1 ' knew she had tbd fust riio, m ent I heaid her.”

Elsie was indeed a ioveiy girl, and seemed to always do the right thing at the right'time, and do it well.-

H er lessons fe re .taught to her at home, and for recreation, in addition to wbat She insisted, upon doing in the house, Mr. Gray taught her tr- rids horseback, and she soon became a fear­less rider. She had great, fondness for flowers, and everything she planted, grew nicely for her

After a few years she was: allowed to viBit and recoivs company, and when she was.sixiesE there was no t a.prettier or lovlier girl anywhere than-..Elsie W hite. ,." When the m inister’s sob . came home front college he fell desperately in love with her. His family knew Elsie well. S h e ; had always been in church arid Sabbath-sehoo! work, - and manifested the Sam® unselfish sp iritist publioaa a t home, vas alwayB helpful with her voice, arid with..her time iiud money, for grandpa Gray said, " The chijd had no money when ahe vas little, so she should now have all she vyanted.”

This was safe to say to Elsie, for her own needs being supplied by her grand ma, she was ulways looking out for the poor, and none that ever made their wants known to her were disap­pointed. • '

I ’oi-r old pcoplo were her special care. She read to them, she sung for them , she sewed, for them more than she did for herself,. and , the little ones were always happier for her visits.

She sent eacis year, with kindly re­membrance, generous gifts of money to the friends of her obiidhood, Mrs. Btein arid Jacob; also to the orphans, for whom she always retained feelings of syiriputhy. So in making others hap­py, her own heart and life were en­riched.'

Charles Dwight graduated with, high honors. His reputation al college.as a Christian was untarnished. •

The next sum m er a t home ho spent m ostly , with E lsie; .going with her to visit,, her .poor folks, - taking rambles in the "woods and rides through tbd Country. H e was active also fo* Sab- batb-school, a leader among the young men in-the churoh iri al! -good works.

H e (waa the very light of his m other’s eyes. She thought she was the happi­est of worn on to have such a eon, His father also rejoiced over hint, and his promised usefulness, They talked about hie prospects, and the thought of his marrying Elsie was so pleasant to them, that if it came about bis m other said her cup of joy would be full.

The old saying, " the course of true love never runs smooth," was disproved of in this ease, for everything conspired to add to their felicity.

Grandma Gray said she was never so happy as, when seated a t the open win­dow, looking out upoo the beauties of the garden, she saw theso two whom she loved so m uch,com ing gayly up •the walk to have asocial chat with her, telling her all they had seen and beard. The;; Elsie would seat berself a t the pi­ano, and she and Charley would sing es no two persons ever sang so well be­fore,, in grandm a's estimation, and oth­ers had noticed Elsie's rare voice.

A professor o f music' from the eity had expressed himselfI enraptured wi th it, and had offered taw groat induo-* ments to go to the city and perfect her knowledge of raUBio, telling her she had A fortune in her voice.

441 am glad ol that,” she gaiiy ans­wered; “ for. then my dsar ones who have me will'have the fortune ”

Charley said be would on no account let her go to-the city, and grandm a and grandpa said the sam e; sc* Blsie was, troubled no more about it.

After Charley had studied law. and was settled in an office in the town, b it still living home, ho thrmeht it would be very nice to be married, and have Elsie all to himself, but as she would riot leave her borne, his views wero brought about by making her home his, and so grandpa Gray gained a grandson to live with him, Oo Elsie’s wedding day he gave her the house for a wedding present, saying, “ I t shall be yorira,. because yon are goirig to let grandm a and grandpa live with you,”

As “ fortune favors the brave," autb Charley bad braved a moderate income all "his life, doing tbe best he could with it; bo by a wouderful combination of circumstances, a wealthy uncle hav­ing died some months before, and be­queathed his wealth lo his only nsphew, Charley, it came into his possession, so that on bis wedding day he waa able to endow his wife with “ all his worldly goods,” including this fortune.

Elsie's fortune proved to be not only in money, but in everything that makes life desirable, including ’a 'c h a rm in g home and loving friends,

A lew yeata ago she'wus ii sufferer from weak lungs, «d in a very feebie condi­tion. 8bs had become a m artyr to neuralgia. Her vitality was almost gone, anti her voice was a mere whis­per. W hile in this condition, she heard of Compound Oxygen, from the use of which B he recovered her health, and is now conspicuous' for her energetic pub­lic work in the great esnse whioh she has so much a t heart. To a reporter of th e preBs who interviewed her recently, ■ sbo gava an exceedingly interesting a . coun tp fher experience with Compound Oxygen, from which we niake an ex- . tract. ■ .

11 On inhaling the oxygen," she said,“ I felt a new and strange sensation. A t once I Siad relief.; . not complete, of couree, bu t nun® the less 'gratifying.

It’s over. Tlte year of trade is over.. T h e m erry whirl at Christmas ends the long-drawn w ork and worry o f tedious ’84.

The year has been pecu­liar. There ’s instruction to be got from its flight. L e t ’s look for it.

T o begin with, there was no sign o f extraordinary depression a year a g o ; but the pace o f - genera) trade whs visibly slow. Anticipat­ing some decline in prices >ve sold enormously in Janu­ary at whatever things would bring, some without profit, some at a rate little short of the comical.

H aving sold we bought as freely, ami gained a season, W e soWwhat belonged to the hurrying winter, ana bought what belonged fo the coming spring. T h e hardness of selling made buying e a sy ; . and again we sold in a way to keep'trade moving. Sum ­m er found us with trade en­larged though profits di­minished.- .

Again we had ou r choice, to, go on or slacken pace. The times were still more critical. M erchants were failing; goods w ere falling; buyers o f all sorts tak ing alarm, economizing/buy­ing less, though, at advanta­geous prices. Again we

' overran Europe. But the sword o f Dam ocles was hanging o ver. u s „ . W e bought with caution and made your money go as far as we could. ’

Your m oney we say ad­visedly. Your money at last has paid the bills.

' W e need not go over the tale o f the last half year.In the midst o f your Christ­m as revel you scarcely care to stop to weigh our share in bringing about the present abundance. B ut what we have done is so apart .from • the usual course o f business that we are disposed to think it o v e r ; and, because our future concerns you about as much as ourselves, and because w e look to you for it, w e are doing a part ol our thinking aloud.. T h e ye a r that is past has been a year o f hardship in general ; but for us,'on the , whole, a year o f success. Septem ber was the first month in which our sales ever fell short o f the sales o f the previous year; Oc­tober and N ovem ber w ere losing months. Decem ber is evidently go ing to. turn out a gain. And., sd little the autumn losses were,'the year on the whole is'a. gain.

E v e ry one o f you almost says to him self . “ I have spent less money -this y e a r ; itow

■ can W ananiaker .have pos­sibly sold more goods than ever before?” T h e ques­tion is worth our answ er; and our answ er shall be worth your hearing.

M ore people have come. The fall in goods and the fall in buying are more, than made good by the number o f buyers. The number o f . buyers, o f course, depends on what we give for a dollar. W e have given more than

. e v e r ; and so more buyers ■ have come. Besides, the

natural result o f our liberal policy is to increase the area o f trade. W hy shouldn't our trade increase, 'even though m oney go up and goods go down ? " ,

'W hat next?.Ju st ’ now a.httle rest. W e '

need it. O ur faithful' people need it. T h e time invites to

..rest. But shortly a new year begins. W e 'v e g o t to '• consider how . to- bepin it,

That is wltat we are thinking about.

A re the times any easier?Is money easier to get ? A re there.people still within trad­ing distance to win? . Is there a better way to win than by money,- when money is dear ? ' .

W e do not know how prices are go ing to rule, nor how the times are- go ing to be. W e think bottom i,s reached-in everything, except now and then a minor tum­ble, Probably limes trill slowly mend. N o general char^A for the better will ,

: suddenly come; Tor caution always lasts beyond the Spe­cial occasion for i t . ,

L et us count, then, on money hard to get, and prices too low, for profit; on your present w an ts; on winter finally come to enforce a present su p p ly ; on spring and summer to follow with

■wants o f their own. \Vc may count on merchants in city and country hanging on to their profits and goods.

’ W e may count on your lincl- ing out for-yourselves from day to day where your ad­vantage lies.

So all we have to do is to m ake your advantage, steadily here, steadily here: week in and w eek out, make your advantage steadily here; • and we shall add to the trade ■we have won.

Our tactics then, til! trade is brighter, are to keep on . just as we are.

.W e are gathering trade for the future.

W e are keeping old good j will and gaining new. W e

are changing our stock with every passing season: W eare ready , with latest goods for the better time a-coming, as ready as if we were m ak­

i n g m oney; our facilities ate all in use and therefore ready for u se ; and best of all. our habit o f large success has all the tenacity and force that continuous, long indulgence- gives.

We are going to keep on gelling together the best in the ivorld, selling fo r less than market rates whatever we can, and. telling the news as (he things are ready and the time is ripe.

Westward, from Chicago to Kansas,M r. E d it o r :— Myjnextutop from Chi­

cago waBRochoUe, III Forty years ago the red man reigned suprem e Here, characterized by his. peculiar attire, wigwams, war dnttcea and hunting ex­peditions. They would rnaat muskrats over the fire unskinncd, with hair on, just as they had been captured. They have now all gone West beyond the “ father of waters,” where they can have better facilities for huntingA nd fishing. The grounds over which they roamed unmolested for centuries has been brought to the highest state of eultiva- tiers by the.skill and energy of the while

, man. K ochelie isa smell oity located 65 miles northwest from .Chicago: Itwas.here that the invenlor of the barbed wire fensc, Mr, wa arrealed by a detective Item Chicago: who insinuated himself into bis good graces, and drew from him the. confession that U had burnedaeveral pubUc.huildingsiu Bocnt elle, and had committed two murderB. Such .was the teanmony of the 'detec­tive, oorroheratfd by others io court. B ut a terrible tragedy occurred during the investigation. W hile the judge wt® absent a t dinner, the prisoner baying been left in lb s care of a deputy eheiiff, some 60 or-4d’men entered the, court house atsd overpowered the sherift’ and bung the. prisoner from a wir.dow of the room I t is sa id 'that the'onlprit lauglj- ed when th e rope wav pu t around his ncek, believing it woe all,iu fun. Many believe to this day that Sis was a crank.

After having spent a week With friends I took passage for Dayton, Iowa, a small village located butweeu Fort Dodge and Des Moines cities. The latter is the capitol, having 25,1)00population. H ere in Dayton are two Swedish churches, Methodist and Lutheran. By invitation I preached in English in the morning, in aschool house. I t was the appoint mont of a local preacher, who said to roe, ” You will have a small congrega tion, for the people will come expecting to hear me." In the evening I held

. forth lo a crowded house in the church.After the service those warm hearted

. Swedes made a rush for me, one of whose heads colided with mine, and seized my hand, and sa id ; “ O, do stay

. and preach next Sunday. W ew illgive you an awful congregation.” -; To take hold of some m en's hand ie like hand­ling a dead fish ; but there was warmth and soul and electricity in those hands.

The prohibitory law is ia force in this State. Tbe cjueatiun is often asked— Does prohibition prohibit? We answer most • assuredly it does. I t must of necessity prohibit. But doesjit prevent tho m anufacture and sale of beer and distilled liquuts ? Answer,—It has en­tirely prevonted the m anufacture of both. There is not a distiiery or brow- ery in the Stale. The public sale ia prevented almost entirely, but the st- crot sale iu large cities is continued. But that is not one tenth of tbe former public sales. I have' not seen a beer keg uor a drunken man in the State. The law prohibits m urder and . theft; but it is secretly done. My next will give some account of tho great State of Kansas. C.'T. M a l i .o r Y.Manhalla.ii, Kansas.

W ithout the baptism of tbe Holy Ghost; our consecration will lack the altar fire. I t will not be a potent fact in our lives, a living and constant expe­rience in the life. We must not stop short of the Divine seal upon our cove­nant, the stamp ol Divine power upon pur o/fering, the sanctifying of the Holy Ghost.. The Divine must n o tb esep u r ated fiom the hum an. Co-operation is tho Bible process of salyation.

Mon may criticise tho Bible, but they m ust adm it that-th is volume has built lofty, biblical characters io the world, and wo must estimate its value accord­ingly. W hat system of philosophy or ethics or art has done this ? The Bible has written its record in hunian civili­zation. I t has made men noble, com­manding ; reverent and devout toward G od; affluent in thoir sympathies, and goherous-in thoir gifts to their fellows.

I t ia a beautiful thought of Buskin's that the greatest works bear on their faces an expression of calmness and re­pose. They do not say '* great effort lias beoii here, b u t groat power has been boro.” How calin and glorious’, are tho slur gemuied-heavens, hptG od did not exhaust himself in making them : they are ‘‘.the work, of his fin- gwa.” . . . .

For tho information of those not fa* miliar with this interesting placo, a few

N^acta may be briefly s ta ted : b o c i A T i o s ;

J t is litea,ted fi!* south o f I.ong B ranch, im- jncdlate ly o ij.tbe riiore o f the A tlantic Ocean. It is bounded oiVihe north and south by beautiftil fresh w ater lak e s ; ou th e cast hy the ocean, and on the west by lines nearly paralejl w ith tbe

' R ailroad .’ . .E X T E N T .

I t comprises over three h undred acres o f la n d ’ two-thirds o f which a re grpves, and tho rem ainder

beach land. The whole plot Is now laid out in grand avenues from eighty to three h undred feet wide.

B U IL D IN G S .

On these avenues about e ight hundred cottages are now built, varying In cost from 8 3 0 0 l o 8 5 ,- 000. There are about forty additional buildings, consisting o f large boarding houses, stores, and such o ther edifice# as tb e business of the place dem ands To these buildings others a re ibc lng constantly added,, so th a t tho precise num ber given to-day will no t answer for the num ber a weok or a m onth henco. All o f the cottages are comfortable—some of them plain, and o thers pos­sessing a ll the beauty and perfection o f m odem are httccture.

Tlio average sizo o f lota la 30xG0 feet, w hich Is large enough for ii small cottage, such as the m a­jority prefer to build . Those who wish to build larger buy two or wore lota.

W A T E R ,

Water o f th e pu rest and best quality , an d l\v In­exhaustible quantities, Is obtaiifed by m eans of tubo pumps, driven to a depth o f 25 or 30 feet througn tnc solid gm vel, and an overflowing Ar­tesian well, from a depth of over 400 feet.

T E N T S .

In addition to cottages and boarding houses as• places o f residence, ten tsarc used by m any people. Every year, about six hundred p f these are erect­e d ,a n d although the season may be stormy—the wind sometimes blowing alm ost a gulc-*yct but

• few have ever been blown dowti, w hen properly p u t up. These teuta a re d ry . and comfortable, even in w et w eather. Many pcraons prefer tents to cottages, us they say, •• T ent life l's a change— we live In houses o r cottages a t hom e." Touts of

. good*size, and lu good condition, erected and ready for occupancy, can always * be hud on rea­sonable terms by application to the Secretary's office..
