quirkly lo.-e and bc.in to take dowu the
bars.
"Out for a walk. Mis Lily ?"
"Yes," fcry briefly,
"So you are fond of quiet strolls? 1 om,
too."
L;ly drew herself up and looked at the pre
sumptuous speaker.
"lle.illy, Mr. llollaway, I don't sro what it Is
to you"
I lieu she ftnpp:'d. She did not mean to be
rado, but truly, she thought to herself, It was
hi'h limn ahe shoul I k!iov this young in; n
that his openly eipresscd admiration was ex
cot'ilinly distusleful to her. It had been
Hoiu on for some time, and every one, even
l.lly hcself, had come to sec that the sun ruse
r id set for John llollaway where she was.
"He must be in ensely siiiphl not to know how
uf.erly iiididVmit I am io him," she thought.
But John was not stupid. He understood
the 0 nliiiished sentence, and ns he drew back
without nnodnr wm J to let her pass Lily saw
he did, and a tbumc-factd, coiupuuctious look
alole lu'.o her eyes. Kor, ruin the richest tu
the pooc St, evciy onu acknowledged John
Ill'uway's noble, sterllnr; charae'er.
Lily walk ed slowly alon' the load, half de
termined to inm hack and npohen.c for her
ludencas, until a turn brought her face to f n e
wiih some one whose haiidsoino eyes met her
own with sii' h a k'l ol welcome that nil other
though s weio for the time d iveu completely

It Was rtlcha'd Ulake, the most admired ttritl

Ah, good afternoon, Miss Lawicucc ! I was

And the wavy black loeks were bared to the

What a contrast to John llollaway ! And the

Lily thought. Dill Ihe girl was bir young to

she did not go directly Into the hoti-e, but
ling-red awhiln among the flowers that titled
their little garden. Her thoughts were very
busy. She knew that she had behaved very
unkindly to her old friend, and her memoiy

It was at a picnic, and she had (alien i.nd
sprained her ankle. She remember d ho" 'he

begun to take for true, heart-deep lovu that
liking which wu all have or things pleasant to

And so she shook uB'ler reproachful feel

"Why, mother, dear, what is the matter
trying, and out enjoying myself! It'll me,

Mn. Liwreiico lifted a face, smiling through
her tears.
'Yes, frying, l.lly, darling, but not from

that from that time Ihe manly young farmer
was often In Llly't thoughts, while Hlchard
Blake was Just as steadily losing ground. Hut
John o( course dlJ not knew It. He was not
one to wear his heart upon his sl"erc, tnd at
length, after a hard stru.-gle, had decided to
abandon his hopeless suit and leave the Held
to that rival who evidently was the favored
one. LI y noticed Ihe diff -renee; but, woman
like, she did net appear to care, and so the
i niths went by much the eamo, until at
length the crisis came.
Tim vll. age In which our heroine lived was
Jast on the shores of a little bay, and many
w re the pleasure parties that enjoyed 1 trip
over Its limpid waters.
One afternoon lilchard Hlake, obtaining
Mrs. Lawrence's consent, Invited Lily to take
a sail.
When th'V reached the beach who should be
waiting in readiness to manage the boat but

Lifting his cap to Lily, John answered:

yiie bitterness lu hit tone touched a like
chord in Lily's heart For one liltlo time
back she had been slowly hut surely learning a
sson the difference between real worth mid

or thought she saw, how completely her

from John's mind, uud that she had foolishly
thrown away her own happiness;
Well, llollaway, I'm sure I'm much obliged.
'a very kind of you," was Blake's reply.
Aud the two young men soon hud the little
craft. In readiness for its fair freight.
Blak ' had seen Jehu's liking for Lily, but
his vanity had uot been alarmed; he knew by
experience the power of lilt dark eyes, and
ily Lawrence was like any other young lady
she wero ten times prettier. So she reu

I hey floated lightly over the blue w ater, an

that he hud driven her iiungo from his mind,
felt the old charm creeping over him ugaln
stronger than ever before; but he hid his pilu
manfully, and kept his pari In the lively con-
veisatiou.
Time crept on, and juit as they decided on
returning, te their dismay the heavens sud-
i'ly clouded ever, ami a peul of thunder
rought them to their feet lu alarm. Sipalls
were not common upon the bay, but one was
evidently now upon litem, and John saw the
great danger. A inoi.ieut and they were dash,

then, weak, iiluiost fainting, he cn fi luik Into

EL KHULIL.
To me there is in all tho Holy Land
no spot so specially holy, none so full
of sacred inetnoi ies, carrying me back
thousands of years with breathless
reverence, and leading my thoughts
forward with mtuvel and awe to un
known ages, as an unpi el ending cupola
in the village of Hebron. U rises
within lite walls of a gorgeous Moham
medan mosque, surrounded by all the
pomp and eiicuniMtaiiee of glorioin
Oriental splendor. No cross marks it
to bend ihe knee of ihe worshipping
Chrisiian; no crescent shines atop in
mystic splendor to make the faithful
music in Low his Intvhciul to the ground
in humble ndoration. And yet, fur
three thousand seven bundled years
dews, Mohammedans and Christians,
with a unity nut found again on (bid's
earth, have united in doing honor lo
I his spot and in ntl'ii ing w orship un
divided and undisputed. For here lay
in times ol old and who knows how
old '! lhat mysterious cave Maehpi'lali,
bought in strange ways ly the patri
arch, and held sacred from that day
lor evermore.
It was a plain stout staff, upon which
Jacob lenl when lie exacted the fortni
ilai'le promise, that his smi should
carry his remains to Hebron and bury
himtheie with his fathers in the land
of promise. A si a ft", uncouth and un
dressed, in ils natural stale, only worn
a trille, where the hand was apt to slip
up or down. Uut il was the sceptre of
our day, designating, as no gaudy tool
ol ivory or cosily metal ever could
have done, the priestly rank and power
ol the gteat ruler a badge ol ilignity
ami high authority still worn by every
prince or sltiik ol ninleru lu lotting.
No sight, greeted the son of the Kin
press of tin! F.ast so strange and so
startling as ihe way in which the Kadi
and the .Mtil'li, the (invcniur and lite
Patriate'1, of Jerusalem met him at
the gates ol that Holy City, dressed in
gorgeous robes of richly ellibl'oi tried
silk, btttjbearing in their bands a rude
stall', ihe mere straight bow of a tree,
that neither knite no.i tool h id ever
dared to touch. It was "leaning upon
tlie top o' tins stall that Jacob, by
laith, worshipped, as the Apostle I'aul
so specially points out to us in his
letter to the Hebrews, lie brought
all his faith in tied, ull bis authority
upon earth, to bear upon the s.icred
oath that Joseph was to swear. For
as the latter was lord of Fgypt, its
savimir in the past, its wise, all power
ful ruler in the present, the million
lies would, no doubt, have readily
lavished iviyal pomp and distinction
upon the p.ilriatcli, had be but chosen
to rest forever in llgyptiau soil. Acres
of living rock would have sprung in
existence, hewn into deathless monu
ments and sculptured it, to p a lit, un
ravelled mysteries. The whole of this
land that A'tis gieatest f till at that
lime, would have lamented and be
w.idi'd the weary wavtaier, and inccne
would have risen on high bom the
vast ocean to the mysterious Mountains
of the .Sun. lint he, strong in his faith,

graves. Hie last resting places ol the
mightiest pha.'oahs, have been rilled
or destroyed and lie open to reckless
travellers and native rubbers. l!ut
the tomb uf the great patriarch ever
has been and slill is, in our day, the
one sepulchre in the Holy hand that
has never been entered, and is guarded
with ceaseless vigilance. Ihe very
mosque, built over it by the present
lords of the hind, has been entered but
by two Christians in our century, the
lYince nf Wales and le:m Stanley.
And then two thousand soldiers had
to protect them against the jealous
lury of the natives, till tho people of
Hebron were consigned to their houses,
and alter all the floor of the urns-

in gloomy pomp the lifeless body of
Jacob to be by the side of tho Friend

no dariiig hand has ever touched this

years now the ruling races of tho world
have come to bow in speechloss . won

mysterious sepulchres. For, however
wo may doubt tho identity of rive

one in our dny can doubt tho identity
of these, humble and yet so precious

NEARLY KISSED TO DEATH.
From the London Tcli'ifraph.
Osculation is unquestionably a pleas
ing pursuit. Il has been recognized
as such Irom time immemorial by gen
erations unnumbered of lovers, pets,
and even philosophers. Thero are
doubtless at the present moment in
this, as in other countries, many
enamored swains who ask no better
than to be permitted to imprint "ten
thousand kisses," one after another,
upon the lips of the damsels ou whom
they have bestowed their affections.
They may, however, esteem them
selves for their opportunities in this
direction are somewhat limited, as the
following true story will show: At
un evening party in Kelkhein) a few
weeks ago the conversation happened
to turn upon kissing, aud the question
arose how many salutations of this
class could be exchanged between two
ardent lovers within a certain t.p:iee nf
time. As usual, opinions differed and
I lie discussion waxed waim. Present
ly, a fiery youth oil'eted to bet anybody
present the (lerman equivalent of a
ten pound note that he and his be
trothed would kiss one alio her ten
llioiisaiul litnes within ten hours, pro
vided they were permuted lo partake
of some slight refreshment at intervals
ol halt an hour (lining the perlorm-
ance. His wager having been accepted
and the money posted, the allianced
couple addressed 1 hemselves to the
achievement of their congeuial task.
Al the expiration of the fust hour their
account stood credited with two thous
and kisses. During the second they
ailileii anoi tier iiioiisunii, ami during
the tkird seven thousand and fifty to
that number. Then, pitiful to state
they both broke down. The youth's
lips were stricken with cramp and the
maiden fainted away. Later ou in the
evening she was compelled to take to
her bed with a sharp attack of neural
gia. An even more distressing result
ensued from this surleit ol tender en-
ileiiruieiii, for it led to a breaking off
by mutual consent, of a hopeful niati i
nioinai engagement, l iiiing lovers
should keep this sad tale in mind and
moderate their transports.; lor, strange
as it may seem, D.m t'upid himself
may lie kissed to death.
COULDN'T KEEP ANY TEACHERS
When he had llnished with the climate, soil
and productions of Idaho and had stopped to
blow his uo'e, one of Ihe group ssked :
"How about ..ducattonul facilities!"
" ''hat's the only thing we lack," replied the
old man with a mournful sigh. "We've got
schools enough, Lat wu can't keep uu teach
ers." "Wh.u's the treuhle?"
