There is no single incident in the his tory of the human race whieli sends the blood in such rushing torronis through our veins as this one does. If it had not ojcuired Christianity would long ago luve been numbered among tho many r forms which have lived their little day and then died. The Master would have taken His place in the group of great souls who, like flashes of light uing, have illuminated our human life for an instant and then left us to grope in the eld, un certain way. That incident has changed our entile outlook, taugl-.t in that the horizui hue is not the limit ofo ir j mriiey, and that there are other hori. ins when ihis one has boou reached.

Tradiiion has it that tho old negro stated that Brown hid many thousands of pounds sterling in gold and silver at some poiut ou the liver near the Roek House, always going up the river with his bag of treasure always coming back from down the river. Brown was shot just after the bailie on Kiug's Mountaio, by a eitiz m of this county who encoun lored him ou one of his predatory excursions, aud the secret of the hidd.o treasure was never discovered The people who live iu the vicinity of Brawn's ancient abode siill believe that the Irea sure is coneealcil soinewiioru near me Roek House.
