It is sad to think that men should use these grand and awe-inspiring works of God as hiding places for unlawful and wicked business. No one with a soul in him, it seems tome, can gaze on this grand masonry of God with out httvin his thoughts lifted to higher and better things than mak ing money by unlawful stilling. And yet just above one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Keedy i'utch Gap is a whisky still, which my companion in travel told me was largely patronized by the mountain eers around it, and the first Baptist Church I visited after coming down the mountains had nine of its mem bers arraigned for getting drunk or using profame language.

Fiske, journalist, dramatist and au thor, and a skeptic, at the Scottish Rite Hall, New York, some time ago, Col. Robert G. Ingcrsoll de livered an address in a low voice, surcharged with emotion, which be came stronger as he proceeded. The auditors leaned forward in their seats to listen as the orator spoke these words: In the presence of the two great masteries, life and death, we have gathered to say a few words of com fort, of love and affection. "In this presence let us speak of the charity, the generosity, the good ness of the dead. Only flowers should be brought to the casket. In life's last pilhfv there should lie no thorns "Mary Fiske was a life in herself. She patterned after none. She whs a genius, and put hers m! in all she did. "Shecaied nothing fur roads, no thing for betteit paths, nothing for the footsteps of other. She went across the fi.dls. thn igli the wools, over crags and by the winding stream . "She wrote lines that loajtetj with laughter and w ovls that were wet '. with tears. She gave us q t tint thoughts and sayings tilled with the nimble spirit of wit. "Her heart went out to all the wretched in this weary world, and yet she seemed as joyous as though grave and death were naugh but words. She wept when others wept. butinherown misfortunes found the star of .hope. "She eared for the to-morrow of others, but not for her own. She lived for to-day. "Some hearts are like a waveless pool, satisfied ti reiWt the image of a wondrous star; but hers was filled with emotions, light, sunshine, and storm. "She longed for fre loin.
