Some will faint when? some will light: Some love the tent and some the lie Id. I often woryler who are right The one who strive or those who yield. Some hands fold where other hands Are lifted bravely in the strife. And so through ages and through lands Move on the two extremes of life. Some feet halt where some feet tread In tireless march a horny way; Some struggle on where some have lied, Some seek when others shun the fray. Some swords rust where others clash.

Some sleep on while others keep The vigils of the true and brave; They will not rest ti" roses erep Around their names above the grave. Leap Year and its Observances. Leap year wc all know to be that one which lias iJu'fJ rather than 303 days in the 3-ear; this was arranged so that the perfect system of time mixlit work Itself out, and the 29th da-, of February is said to be the one upon which the sun frowns be cause somebody has to do an extra day's work. If according to some scientists "de sun do move," it is probably old Sol himself who has an extra hard time of it. This year is the one in four during which lovely woman has the privilege of asking her sweetheart to be her very own. When this custom first came into use nobody knows, but if the legends are to be trusted it was leap year when Eve made her appearance in the Garden of Eden and suggested matrimony to Adam, but about this no man is certai n. Among the Roman maids, leap j year was ushered in with great fes- tivity, and gay parties assembled at the various houses, where a special i kind of spiced cake was cut, m j i which was a ring, and tne young wo man tortunate enough to get tne ring was the one. who would take her choice from the group of hand some Roman men and ask him to be hers. In Scotland a less dignified procedure obtained the maidens who were anxious for husbands were required to jump a broomstick, and the one who leaped the highest had the credit of being the most desira ble bride. As we have a fancy now adays for tracing everything back to antiquity, may it not be possible that the the skirt dancing is only an outcome of the broomstick leaping? In any case, the maiden who pro- j poses in leap year Goes not suuer, for the man brave enough to say no to her has to give her the sweetest of kisses and a silk gown. It would seem as if prefacing a kiss with a refusal would not add to its sweetness, and there are stories of high tempered women w ho nearly bit the lips off of young men who dared to deny them their wish. If, j however, the swain is agreeable then I the duties of the bride-elect begin at : once. She must give him "a faire gold ring'" and a linen shirt made by her own fingers to show that not i only is she capable of loving him truly and well, but that she also j knows how to care for his comfort, j The maiden of to-day would have no I trouble to get the ring, but how- many of them could put the many j Sunday morning we left the city at stitches required to make a fine eht O'clock, reaching Dr. Butler's s1lirt? house at half past eight that night.

She is indeed an igno rant woman who cannot make a bashful wooer understand that she is ready and willing to listen to the story of his love and to tell him how much she loves him in return. This is a lesson that one seldom needs to teach. Folly may lie in women's eyes but after all a deal of wisdom is also found there. the patron samt 01 tne jui uayopeniv taught these poor ignorant ! of February is St. Oswaid, an old j Saxon, who was a great believer in j the desirability of marriage, w ho tied ! true lover s knots into the holy bonus j of matrimony and was joyful thereof.

Butler, of this City. I seem to have a great deal to say, and scarcely know where to be fin. I think it was about the seven teenth of October that Dr. Butler and Mr. Porter met ia Recife at a called meeting of the Presbytery. The Doctor hurried home, .saying he felt some uneasiness about his family and the Christians he had left here in Garanhuns, because a company of friars of Penha were expected there about that time. These friars are on a ''holy mis sion." ' The' go from place to place building up weak churches, holding continued services of masses for a number of days, often erecting new church buildings. They are under taking this here in Garanhuns. In order to get the work done, the' have called in from the country, for miles around, all the ignorant, fanat ical people to confession and mass. Women and men come barefoot from great distances, and carry stones and wood to the place where the new building is to be erected. Most of the men are armed with long, dagger- like knives and great clubs. They come by thousands, thronging the streets and largos of thecit- an ex citable, superstitious crowd. Knowing how easily such a com pany could be turned into a mob, Dr. Butler had cause to feel uneasy as to the safety of those he had left in Gar anhuns. lie arranged that I should telegraph to him when the home mail came, as he wished to return then. On Monday, October 27, I telegraph ed for Dr. Butler to return to the city, expecting him on the first train. i He did not come, nor did he send any message. Wednesday I began to feel somewhat uneasy. Thursda' night, at prayer meeting, one of the elders told me that rumors had reached the city Wednesday night that Dr. But- er ia(iliplfi n nublic discussion with the priest of Garanhuns, the people had risen against him, and that Dr. Butler was nearly killed. The elder had immediately telegraphed to the Doctor; had waited all da', but no answer had come. It was decided to send (by the first train), one of the deacons to Garanhuns. He left us early Friday morning. He was to telegraph to us early Saturday morn ing, and to return Saturday night if he was not needed. Tne same morning I sent for our American consul, Mr. Johnstone, and t- ld him of our troubl". He oiTeivd at once to help us. That day he sent two telegrams to Garanhuns, but could get no answer. We waited utitu nnuday Saturday, hop i n to hear from our messeng No word ; came. Then Mr. Johnstone went j with Mr. and Mrs. McCall and me to j the governor. The promise was j given by the state officers that we ! should have word from Dr. Butler and his family possible: that Lit the earliest hour pecial orders would be given for their protection; and that a proper guard would be fur nished to take Mr. McCall and me to Garanhuns by the next train. The promise was faithfully kept. At three o'clock a telegram came: "They are in peace. I return Mon da'." It was from our deacon. He was to return Saturday if he was not needed. of the stones being larger than my j (ou5e fists. In few minutes soldiers appeared, saving that the offense should not occur again; orders had been recived from the governor that we must be protected. We found our friends had been under a reign of terror for days. Their lives were publicly threatened. As soon as these friars reached the city, they publicly declared they would break up our work here and drive us from the city. For five, nights they ; peopie that pr .Butler was deceiving j them anJ takinK thom straight down to holl. irdt the ony Rreetinff thev must give him was two stones in each hand: that our Bible was false; that the Doctor was an impostor; that he defied the Doctor to prove his Bible was true; finally, sending an invi tation to him to prove that our Bible was true. The Doctor sent word that he would gladly accept the invitation with the understanding that (1) the discussion must be public in the house of the priest or the judge's oftice: (2) the au dience must be from the leading citi zens of the place, the judge, the sher iff, the mayor and city council must be present, no others; (3) the discus sion must be confined to the Bible. The priest sent word he would accept the conditions. The hour was set for 11 o'clock a. m., Tuesday, October 29. Later, word was sent that so many of the business men wanted to hear the discussion that no private house would hold them, and they must have it in the church. The Doctor hesitated, as he knew trouble might arise, but the citizens who came to escort him assured him full protection. Just here let me say we believe the officers of the law and the best citizens of the city were in nocent of the treason. Tuesday, at eleven o'clock, Dr. But ler was escorted to the church by some of the leading men of the place. Every influential man of the town was in the church waiting for him. One o the friars met him, and asked what he wanted. The Doctor said he did not want anything, he had eome by invitation of the priest to discuss the truth of our Bible. The friar said, ''Well, no, not an invita tion." "Then," replied Dr. Butler, "I will leave." One of the citizens sprang up, saying: '"Of course it is by invitation; we have them printed here in our pockets," and they show ed them. They began the discussion. It lasted two hears. Outside had gathered an ignorant, excited mob of about three thousand people, every one of that three thousand armed the women with bags filled with stones, the men with great clubs and long knives. They were there be cause, Monday night, the priest had sent word all through the country for all good Catholics to be at the church October 20, at eleven a. m., as the Protestant minister and his people were going to invade the church. Dr. Butler requested the judge to mark the time, giving each one half an hour at first, and then ten minutes to repl'. The priest objected, but was compelled to consent. The Doc tor always uses the priest's Bible. He took that and one of our own. The friar acknowledged that it was approved by the archbishop of Brazil. I think Dr. Butler realized that it was probably his last opportunity to preach the gospel to such an audi ence, and he did it. He combated the confession, the primacy of Peter, worship of images, purgatory, celib acy of the priesthood, fast days, and the perpetual virginity of Mary. Dr. Butler stood with Bible open before him, and took Ids proofs from the priest's version, while our Bible was compared, and found to be the same. In the priest's reply, he stumbled around, and finally proved that "the Bible is not the only rule of faith in the Catholic Church" (his own word), but they must obey the traditions of the fathers. He did not touch on points presented by Dr. Butler till he came to the Virgin Mary. He then said the Bible taught, "the wo man should bruise the serpent's head," and closed by repeating a piece of child s poetry about the vir gin being a virgin before the birth, and after the birth, and forever, and slapped his hands; It was responded to by a voice within, crying, "Long live our holy religion! Down with Protestants In an instant the waiting mob out ide rushed in. their terrible cry, "Kill him:" rising loud and clear through the city. One of the audience, a citizen, brother of the station agent, aimed a pistol at Dr. Butler. It was-struok aside by anoth er true citizen (not a Christian), w ho said, "Xo, you or I die; Dr. Butler never!" Immediately the officers of the city, the best citizens, and our ten Christian men closed around Dr. Butler. They got him safely to the sheriffs house, and guarded him until the mob was quieted. Ijater on in the evening, they brought him home, and stationed a guard of sol diers to protect him and his family. The whole city is talking of the discussion; some, who were indiffer ent until now, are studying their Bi bles to see if these things are true. All of the citizens who heard the discus sion declare there was only one side to it, that the priest in no way an swered an argument of Dr. Butler's, i and are chagrined that the priest could do nothing but blubber out: "The Bible is not the only rule of faith of the Roman Catholic Church." There is very great excitement here even now. Many people are throng ing into the city, w e see them pass in crowds, carrying great beams for the new church. These beams are sixty or seventy feet long. They are taken first to the priest to be blessed, then they are carried with shoutings of rejoicing up a steep hill, to where the new church building is going up. Fire-rockets go up, too, and "Long live our holy religion" rends the air. Saturday, the ninth, is to be a great fair day, and, Sunday, the very climax of things is promised. For awhile the people actually walked the streets, one group calling to another: "Come, let us kill the Protestants!" Sunday was publicly declared to be the day when they will kill us, but now we hear no more of these open threats. The priest said, in his ser- mon Tuesday night, he had received a telegram from the governor that "some of that fellow's disciples had been lying to him." We have every assurance from the authorities that we shall be protected, yet the ner vous and mental strain has been in tense. We do not think there will be any more violence done to us. Emza M.

Last Week in Trade Circles. Xew York, Jan. 13, 1896. Special Correspondence. The recovery of business which was expected after the holiday sea son has been delayed by the pending uncertainty about financial matters and with regard to the issue of po litical complications in Europe. Xew enterprises are naturally held ia check, and there is more than usual conservatism in the conduct of all lines of business. Speculation has been narrow and professional, al though continued favorable reports of railroad earnings and a growing belief in the successful outcome of the proposed bond issue have con tributed to support the values of se curities. Industrial conditions show little change, but the tendencj' is to ward improvement as a result of de creasing output in iron and steel and indications of enlarging demand in leather and textile industries. Bank clearings, according to Bradstreet's have been 23 per cent, larger than they were the previous week, and 19 per cent, larger than those of the corresponding week last year. Busi ness failures in the United States and Canada during last week, as re ported by R. G. Dun &Co., number ed 434, against 474 for the corres ponding period last year. Cotton prices, after receding J, have since recovered as a result of the varying temper of speculation, which has been more influenced by the financial and political news than by any fresh development with re gard to the crop situation. Trading has been within narrow limits in the contract markets, and demand from exporters and home spinners has continued moderate. Business in cotton goods "has contiued sluggish; and while prices have undergone lit tle change, the general position has favored buyers. The new quotations for standard makes of prints for Spring have been fixed at 3J cents, instead of (I cents as anticipated in some quarters at the outset of the season. The total visible sup- ply of cotton for the world is 4,113, 13G bales, of which 3,089,930 bales are American, against 4,847,031 bales and 4,32o',431 bales respect ively last year. Receipts of cotton during last week at all interior towns were Ss.lO.'i bales; receipts from the plantations, 117,009 bales: crop in sight, 3.134,233 bales. Xet price gains for the week of of a cent per bushel o"n wheat and ; to 11 cents per bushel on corn have been the hesitating response of the grain markets to the bullish effect upon speculative sentiment of the war scare in Europe. The advance in wheat has been measurably re strained by the Government's tardy confirmation of unofficial crop esti mates in excess of the preliminary guesses of the department. The of ficial figures fix the 1893 vield at j 407,000,000. bushels, and thecommer j cial "experts" have pretty generally reached the conclusion that the pro- duction was nearer to 300,000,000 bushels. The interior offerings of wheat are moderate, and visible stocks have begun to run down. Another feature which has helped to sustain confidence in the wheat mar kets has been the severe weather in the West, which has caught portions of the Fall sown grain without ade quate snow protection. Exports for several weeks have been quite liber al ; and while the demand has not been of a character to indicate any general foreign effort to forestall re quirements in preparation for an in terruption of commerce by an out break of war, there has been a very fair inquiry, and the business done suggests a continuance of large clearances. There has also been a steady ex port demand for corn, and consider able engagements have been made for shipments in the near future, largely by way of Southern ports. Western offerings of corn have in creased, and the situation suggests an enlarging eastward movement of the crop. The Government esti mate of a yield of 2,131,139,000 bush els is not materially at variance with expectations; but the figures of farm value (20.4 cents) show that the larger yield of last j'ear has a money value of $307,309,000, or about $30,- 000,000 less than that of the slightly smaller production of 1889. There has been more speculation in hog products and a better demand from distributers, which, in connection with the strength of the corn mar kets, have caused advances in Chica go prices of $1.23 per barrel on pork, and 10 to 23 cents' per 100 pounds respectively on lard and short ribs. Exports of provisions have contin ued on a liberal scale, and for ten weeks have largely exceeded those of corresponding periods in 1894-5. It Should be In Kvery Ilosne. J. 15.
