A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
I'aihdic Christmas Incijciil Where
I'ntcrly Was King.
One of the big dry goods stores in
Milwaukee was thronged with buyers on
Christmas evo when a forlorn looking
woman win noticed in the act of conceal
ing a lew cheap toys uudcr her ragged
shawl. A policeman Was culled and
covered with shame over her dis

lieanl iu charge happened to have a heart
iu his bosom, and doubtless iuspired by
the spirit of the hour, he made some in
finities bclo'o booking the arrest and
sendinu the prisoner to a cheerless cell.
Tim woman told her story, her voice
broken by freipient sobs. She was a
widow with three children and earned a
mere livitig'by washing. Her earnings
for the week had not been sufficient to
allow her to buy any Chrbtmas tokens
for the expectant little ones, and, desper
ate at the thought of btoaking their
little hearts by ooming home empty
handed, she had gone iuto the crowded
store and stolen a few little trinkets to
t, ike to tin in. Of course, she was a sclf
c uifesKcd thief, but the police sergeant
had children of his own, and he thought
a bit before pulting her name on the dis
graceful recurd book Theu he told the
womau to go home and sent an officer
wiih her to verify her story. It was all
ton true. The three little ones were
found iu a bumble cittage, hovered
around a little stove with tho last rem
nants ol' fuel iu it, hunury and so cold
that their bare ltd were cuddled in the
oveu of the i-tove The facts were made
known to the ui iuager of the big dry

unison with thegcncrniisChristuias spirit,
which had actuated the police sergeant.

'hart;e but he ordered a package ol' toys.

NEARLY FORTY CENTURIES OLD.
lie Was Huiiei Id The Cave of Mactelah
ani the Mammejans Are Keeping
All Heretics Out.
But of far greater interest than the
pool uf Hebron is an object now inclosed
by the missive walls of a Moslem niosquu.
The Christian traveler may survey their
ilcrior at a respectful disiauce, but if
he places the slightest value nu his life
lie should not try to enter the iiielosuro
Beneath the luosipui, which these high
li ililetneiits surround, there is a cave. Il
is the cavern uf Macpelah, which Abra
ham, on the death of his wifo, Sarah,
purchased as a family burial place, nearly
4,0IMI years ago. Here he himself was
ills, i buried; and, later on, within this cave
were laid to rest Isaac and Jacob, with
their wives Jacob's body having, at the
patriarch's request, been brought from
pt to he placed there ay the side ol
his wile, Leah. Moreover, since it was
embalmed after the manner of the Egyp
tians, his features probably remain well
nigh intact today.
It is humiliating to admit that neither
Jew nor Christian can today stand be
side the tombs in which repose the
founders of the Hebrew nation. Bui
such H the fact, for the Mohammedans
guard with jealous reverence the touib of
Abraham for whom their name is "The
Friend of li jd " It is a singu
lar coincidence that such a title
hnuld be giveu him by Moslems,
fir in the epistle of St. James we read:
"Abraham believed Hod, and it was im
puted unto him for righteousness and he
was called the Friend of God," 01
course no Illustrations ot ine toiuu
tlicuisebes cau be obtained so long as
such restrictions exist; but one may view
t least ihe entrance to the palriarcb's
sepulchre, guarded by solid masonry and
irou bars. By a speci il firman from Con
siantinople in 18G2, the Piinceof Wales
was admitted here, attended by Dean
Stanley. In DSU'S a similar favor war
accorded to the Matijuis of Bute, and
ree years after lo the crown prince ol
Piussia, ihe late Emperor Frederick. Out
can liu mine, theret'Te, what chance is
there fur ordinary tourists to enter.
Aeeurdiug to the accounts of those
who came here wiih these princely visi
tors, the tombs of Abruham, Sarah, Ja
cob and Leah are in separate apartments
lined with marble and approached through
silver gales. 'The place of honor, iu the
eenire, is occupied by the tomb of Isaac
Between the tombs uf Abraham and
Isaac is a circular opening; and it appears
probable that the structures which are
seen are merely modern cenotanha, the
actual sepulchres belog in a subterranean
cavern at a a still lower depth. The floi r
uf the inelousuie is covered to some depth
with piices of paper, which represent the
accumulation of oenturies. They aie
written petitions to Abraham, which
pious Moslems have dropped through an
aperture above.
"Is this the real cave of Macpelah?"
i inquired. "Can this be the actual
tomb which Abraham acquired forty
centuries ago, wiih all the formality and
care revealed iu the description given ol
that bargain in the book of Genesis?" It
seems at first incredible, but there are
many aigumeots in favor of its genuine

Pathetic Story of The Last
Time lie liver
I'lajeJ.
New York Mail mid Kxpress.
Bcctbuvon had been deaf for twenty-
five years, when, it 1827, a letter reached
him at Baden from his nephew, the
log aearest to In in on earth. 1 lie ynung
man wrote from Vienna, whenco ho
looked to his undo lo extricate him.
Beethoven Bet out at once, but his funds
wcro so low that ho was obliged to make
the greater part uf his journey on foot.
He bad gooc most of the way, and was
only a few leagues from the capital, when
his strength failed. He was forced to
beg hospitaltyof a poor and mean-looking
house one evening. The inhabitants
received the ill-tempered-looking, dark,
gruff-voiced slranger.with the utmost cor
diality, shared their meagre supper with
him, and then gave him a comfortable
scat near the fire. The meal was hardly
cleared away before the head of the
family opened an old piano, while the
sjns each brought forth some instrument
the women, meantime, beginning to
mend the linen. There was a general
tuning up and then the music began. As
it proceeded the players, Ihe women, all
ike, were more and miro deeply moved.
Tears stole down the old man's cheeks.
His wife watched him with iui.-t eyes,
and a pathetic, faraway smile on her lips.
She dropped her needlework, and her
managing daughter forgot to find fault.
She was listening, too.
The sweet sounds left only one person
unmoved. The deaf guest looked
ou at this scene with yearing melancholy.
When the concert was over he stretched
out his hands for a sheet of the music
they had used. "I could not hear,
friends," he exclaimed in hoarse tones of
apology, "but I would like to know who
wrote this piece which has so moved you
II." The piano player put before him
the Allegretto iu Beethoven's symphony
in A Tears now stole down the visitor's
cheeks. "Ah," ho exclaimed, "I wrote
il; I am Beelhnven. Come and let us
finish the piece." He went himself In
the pi.iuo,and llieevenini; passed iu a true
delirium of pleasure aod pride for the
dwellers of that humble musical home-
When the concerted music was over, he
improvised lovely songs and sacred
hymns for the delighted family, who re
mained up far into the night listening
to his playing.
It was the last lime he ever touched
an instrument. When he took possession
of the humble room aud couch allotted
to him he oould not sleep or rest. His
pulse beat wiih fever. He cou'd not
breai he. He sto'e out of doors in search
of refreshment, and returned to bed in
the early morning, chilled to ihe heart.
His friends in Vienna were communi-
oated with, and a physician summoned,
but his end was at hand. Hummel
stood disconsolate beside bis dyiug bed.
Beethoven was, or seemed to be, uncon-
ius. Just before the end, however,
he raised himself and caught the watch
er's hand in both of his own. "After
all," Hummel, 1 1 must have had some
talent," he murmured, and then he died.
At no time," said the cornfed phil
osopher, "is a man so willing to lake the
weak shoulders of frail woman as when
she is harassed with the cares of a large
and paying property."

GOOD ADVICE TO FATHERS.
No One
Can Tell What Is In a Boy
Never Despair.
You do not know what is in hi in
Bear with him; bo paticnl; wait. Feed,
clolho him, love him. He is a boy, and
most boys are bad. 1 ou think hnn so
light hearted, and fear lie is light-headed
as well. Remember, ho calls you father.
When be played in vour lap you fondly
hoped he Would be a great and useful
man. Now that ho has grown larger,
and his young blood drives him into glee
ful sport, and makes him impatient ol
serious things, rattling, playful, thought
less, you almost despair. But dun't be
snappish and snarlish, and make him feel
you are disappointed in him. lie is
your boy, and you are to live with hira.
lie bears your name aod is to send it on
down the stream of time. He iuherits
your fortune aod fame, and is to trans
mit them ts generations to come.
It may be difficult to govern him, but
bo patient. He may seem averse lo
everything useful and good, but wait. No
one can tell what is in a boy. lie may
surprise you some day. Hope. Let
him grow. While his body grows larger
and stronger his mental and moral nature
may extend and improve,
Edueato your boy. You may think
money spent in that way is money spent
in vain. There is nothing in him, he has
oo pride, no ambition. You don't know.
No one can tell what is iu boy. BesideB,
there may be an unkindled spark, and
u n fa ntied flame, a smouldering lire, a
latent energy, which the teacher's may
stir, the association of books may arouse,
develop, and direct, and thus start your
b iy agoing with such energy, that no
power on earth could stop him short of
the topmost round in the ladder of fame.
If you cannot educate him, let him ed
ucate himself. That will make him
slroiig, a giant with whom none dare it
terfero. Such are the best men in the
world. The greatest benefactors of the
race have stooped their shoulders to bear
burdens, have carried hands hardened
wiih labor, have eudured the fatigue if
,11 any mimi are in our minds now.
Labor conquers alt things. The old
Roman was right. We sec it in a thou
sand instances. Labor makes the man.
No boy ever came to be a man, the
noblest work ol God, without labor. Tb:B
is God's great law; there is a divine phil
osophy iu it. Let your boy work; if he
will not work, make him work. There
is no progress, no development, no ou'-
e, no true manhood without it. We
must work.
Father, be kind to your boy. W e
know what a mother will du. Thaik
God! A mother's love, a mother's pray
ers follow us still; and the memory of hir
anxious tears shall never fade out durirg
the succession of years.
Finally, but not least, pray for your
boy. God hears prayer. Do the bed
you can. t- munt all you cannot do lo
lod and hope. Never despair, for co
one knows what is in a boy. Suuthein
