For the peace of home agalu.
I'm slrk of the rear of cltl?s.
And of facea rid and stmnge;
I know where there's warmth of welcome
And my yearning fancies laose
Back to the dear old homestead, .
With, an ai'lilnx sense of palu;
But there'll he jny In th coming
When I go home again.
I always thought her a pretty girl
nd sweet and charailng; but, from her
own account, thero seemed to be so
many people In love with her already
that 1 thought personally I should do
much betttr by merely maintaining a
- friendly interest in her. Besides,
always knew that if ever I did fall in
love It would be with quite another
sort of a girl some one who would be
much more prepared to render me
homage than to cxpoct It as her own
lue, which was Miss Courtenay's way
Df going through life. Still, in spite of
her many airs nnuNgracea, which rather
amused me than otherwise, we re
mained good friends on the whole, and
I am sure I gave her no possible ex
cuse for thinking that I wa3 one of her
latest victims, for the simple reason
that I had not in any sense succumbed
to her fascinations, and never pre
tended to disguise the fact.
I had known Iter now for quite a
long time. I should sssy It was about
six months from our first meeting. At
our last meeting, which had been the
day before yesterday. I had introduced
a great friend of mine to her Bertie
Beauclere. Ho was a tall, handsome
fellow no brains, certainly, but still
the sort of type that I felt pretty sure
would appeal to her. She really did
seem to take an ardent fancy to him,
which was another pro if that my esti
mation of her character was a fairly
correct one. I judged her to be friv
olous and shallow a girl to be taken
with superficial show rather than a
woman to love a men for h!s sterling
worth, which Is really the only kind of
woman I should ever feel inclined to
love myself, for I don't set much store
by blue eyes and a pink and white
skin. It is the beauty of the heart
and mind that appeal to mc far more.
I think, as a matter of fact, that
there are-a good many . men like my
self, bo that, when she used to enlarge
ably discounted half she said. I
Relieve she had a tithe of the
he made out. Here
Ime to soe the way B?
to her. and I began
uight be something in tier
all. But then, "If fhe be
nor fair to roe, what care I how fair
she be?"
All the same, I felt vexed I had In
troduced Bertie to her. I didn't want
to see her make a fool of my best
.friend. I didn't want to see her make
fool of herself, either, and the way
ahe encouraged his Idiotic compliments
was a revelation to me. I had taken
It for granted that sue was a coquette,
but I had never actually seen her in
the role before, and I didn't know now
these things were done until then, and
I learned a good lesson that afternoon.
Bertie fetched and carried for her like
a do(, and the other men teemed to
go 'down like ninepins, too. I had
really meant to look alter her a little
myself, but J realized my forethought
' was quite superfluous.
The next day I thought I jvould call
- on ber and have a quiet chat. I found
her in what she was pleased to term
ler "study." Not having left school
long, .ahe kept up an amiable fiction
for the benefit of a fond mother and
a doting father. I suppose that she
did a few hours' doily practising and
reading within Its eacred four walls.
' I always liked to And her In the
tudy. For one thing, It showed, if
not a serious bent of mind, a least
an effort In the right direction; and
for another, her family never ventured
to disturb her there. She said it inter
rupted her train of thought.
I aat down and, after having helped
.her with a difficult problem the same
problem, I was fain to observe, which
I bad tackled for her last time I began
to talk.
"You and Beauclere seemed to hit It
off pretty well. I always thought he
. liked a bit of bluestocking In fact,
preferred brains to beauty."
- "You don't thlflk me clever, then?'
ana asKea.
1 didn't say that exactly. I think
you are clever in your owti way.
"But you think my beauty Is In ex
cess of my brains?"'
"We won't say beauty," I deprecated.
"That Is a word only applicable to
Greek goddesses. But .you're certainly
gweetly pretty."
, "Oh," .she said, with her eyes down,
"you think me pretty, then?"
i "I wasn't giving you my personal
opinion," f replied guardedly, "but
what seems to be the generally accept
ed one."
1 "I don't know so much about that,"
aha said, with a toss of her head. "Mr.
Beauclere thinks me quite beautiful
and clever."
"Beauclere's an ass!" I said hastily.
'And then, feeling frightened at the
ominous silence which ensued, I en
larged my sentence by adding: "Why,
he went down without a degree!"
"Perhaps he didn't wont 6ne. I'd
sooner have a straight nose than a
degree any day," she retorted scorn
fully. "And scarcely anyone here
knows yon are a valedictorian, though
I'm sure I've told scores of people."

On a beautiful, broken strain,
To which Is my fond heart wording .
When I go home again.
Outside of my darkening window
Is the great world's crush snd din

But I dream of the glorious greeting

yesterday, as you were walking past,
a. girl I know said: 'Who is that
awk ' Perhaps I'd better not tell you
what- she thought of you," she added,
iBterruptlng herself. "It might hurt
your feelings."
I laughed.
"No. Tell me. -
That awkward, plain looking man,
who- Is going about as If he thought
all the women were In love with
him?' "
I roared. .
"Did she think that out loud?" I
asked. "I believe I can guess who the
girl wa,i."
"No, you can't guess," she said crOBS
ly, "because I shan't tell you. Natur
ally, when I saw the Impression you
were creating I had to say out loud
you were a valedictorian, as much for
my own benefit as hers. It was a sort
of excuse for you."
And did It satisfy her?" I asked,
almlrlng the way she spoke of herself
In the third person.
"It was a consolation," she admitted.
"I shouldn't have thought Venus
stood In need of consolation with
Adonis at her feet, not to speak of
other admirers."
"You seem to think," Bhe said, pout-
Ins, "that I couldn't win love if I
tried, or even if I didn't try."
"If one tries," I said sententlously,
'one can get most things one wants."
"But of course you wouldn't fall Into
the trap," she asked merrily.
"Leave me out, please. Wo settled
that question long ago."
'Oh. I'm fairly satisfied with my
proprers slnco then," she returned
airllv.
Her assurance was really amusing.
"You're quite Welcome to my scalp
when you get It," I returned, smiling.
"Oh, no," she said, shaking her head,
it's too clever a one for me -to know
what to do with! You are so clever,"
she went on, wistfully looking at me.
I dlrin f tinnprutand vmir last aruMwh

"I'm not clever!" I declared, feeling
flattered by her appreciation. "I'm
only jl dogged sort of an Individual."
"Well, perhaps I'll have a try on my
own account," she said, throwing her
self Into a chair, "only you must give
me facilities."
"What am I to do?" I asked her.
"You mustn't use long words which
I don't know the meaning of, and which
only confuse me, and you must unbend
a little and meet me on my own
ground. And you mustn't wear a blue
tie even If you have got blue eyes, be
cause I like a red tie witn a nice
brown skin. And If ypu come to see
me tomorrow I'll tell you If you've got
the right color."
When I got home I looked In the
glass with a sudden dislike for my blue
tie. I bought a scarlet one, feeling
sure she was right. I should never
have thought of It myBelf; but then
women understand these things so
much better than men she has such
taste. I shaved myself carefully next
day, criticising my sunburn, and won
dering If she really meant' I had a nice
brown skin. The bright-colored tie, so
different from my usual sober tints,
raited me In my own estimation, and
I sallied forth with a feeling of assur
ance born of It.
It was still early, and I found her
In the study arranging some flowers.
My spirits were dashed by her recep
tion of me.
"You don't mean to say you really
walked through the town In that tie?"
she asked.
"Yes, I did," I said, feeling worried.
"Don't you like It? I thought you told
me to snt a red tie."
"Yes, but I never thought you would
f I my telling," she returned. "What
(r made you do that?"
"Goodness knows!" I responded.
Then I laughed awkwardly. "I think I
can give you a reason, such as It Is.
It has JuBt dawned on me. I'm like all
the rest, I suppose. I love you!"
"Oh," she said, with a complacent
little smile, "that was In the pro
gramme I mapped out for you."
"And you'll love me, too, won't
you?" I said, coming up to her and
leaning my hand on the back of her
chair as I put the momentous ques
tion. "Oh, no!' she said, looking down.
"I'm not going to love you. That
wasn't In my programme at all."
"Couldn't you Include It," I said, "by
special desire?"
"Whose desire?" she asked quickly.
"Mine."
"I don't believe," she said, tracing a
pattern on the tablecloth, "that you
really do love me."
"I'll try to prove," I said, "only yon
must give me facilities."
"What do you call facilities?"
"Well." I sajd, putting my arm
around her waist, "this would be one."
I I don t mind giving you that
one," she said hesitatingly.

PENNING WILD TONUS.
A CURIOUS ANNUAL FROLtC ON
THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST.
The Driving of the Wild Horses Out
of the Waste . of 8cnfc Growth,
Marsh and Seashore la No Easy
Task When famed the Shaggy
Little Animals Are Highly Valued
Nothing on the Atlantic coast is
more replete with curious features than
.the "penning" of the wild ponies In
North "Carolina. These animals, the
descendants or the "l!ttlo Barbary
horses" which far-seeing Sir Walter
Raleigh sent with his expedition to
Roanoke Island.ln August, 1583-4, have
their home only on the long and nar
row sand bank' which divides the sea
from the body of salt water known as
Cora Sound, the latter forming part
of the long chain of "sounds" of vari
ous sizes which so mark the eastern
portion of North Carolina.,
Core "Banks," as this strip of land
Is known, Is about sixty miles In
length, extending from Old Topsail
Inlet, at Beaufort, to Ocracoke Inlet
at Ocracoke. Along this Btretch of
mingled sea and beach, sand dunes,
forests and marshes, are some 3,500
ponies, hardy little follow, weighing
on an average 750 to 800 pounds.
There are several "pens," really cor
rals; these having names, such as tho
Diamond, Jack's Island, Hunttng Quar
ter and, Mhldk. Tho writer attended
two of theso "pennlngs." One at the
Hunting Quarter pen and tho Other at
the Middle. There was a fleet of no
1 bs than sixty-seven sailboats of all
s.zes on tho way to the Middle pen.
The scene near the pen was vividly
picturesque, and needed only cocoanttt
palms to make It tropical. There were
the grass-tha.tched huts of the "crab
bers," who search In the earliest spring
for yie toothsome softshell crab, while
the vegetation, yeopon, dwarf lve
oaks, fan palmetto, pellitory and dwarf
pines, added to the oddness. A slue
or creek made close to the pen, and
up this smaller boats Went, persons
from the larger ones wading to them
or being carried on the backs of the
sturdy boatmen. There was much mer
riment as all hands made for the pen,
the time being then nearly noon. '
Since dawn two gangs of men had
been at work driving the ponies; one
from the north, and the other from
the south end of the long stretch of
banks. Each gang of about thirty had
fifteen miles to go, and the driving of
the ponies out of that wild waste of
scrub growth, marsh and seashore was
no easy task. Ono of these "drives" Is
known as the Northern Drive, fie
other as the Southern Drive. T.e
men from the north made their drive
fire, and here came the ponies, 200 In
number, In a wild charge, being headed
off by a long lle of perhaps a hun
dred men, who prevented them from
going southward.
Everything was' strange, from the
first view as the ponies, looking like a
valry in skirmishing
In the distance and
un, with the penncrs
rear.. At that dis
tance it XiU i,itp.jln (on.
land from .llli"Hla itonles and men
appeared to be running on air. The
line of beaters, all on foot, swept up
ceaselessly but noiselessly, and the
ponies, seeing their way southward
blocked by the long line of men at
right angles across the beach, hashed
in a wild charge Into the pen, a struc
ture built of all sorts of driftwood, and
some eighty feet square, with a large
opening. On the Instant that tho
ponies entered the pen, they packed
themselves In a dense mass. Their
faces were a study, many of them be
ing as wild as a prehistoric horse ever
hail. They next rushed backward and
forward, then 'round and 'round; in
this frantic movement all joined, no
mailer whether the tiny colt or the
veteran who had figured In many such
scents. First, the sea of pony faces
turned one way, then the other; with
little wild eyes and penthouse of hair
hanging far over tho forehead, the hair
on the bodies of many being so rough
as to make them look like alapacas
or llamas. The manes of many were
as long as the tails. The prevailing
color was dun, but there were dashes
of yellow, and one was almost black
Strapping men plunged into this
mass of struggling and quivering flesh
and first snatched out the little col's
to save the latter from being crushed
to death. Desperate Indeed was the
scramble, as they fought to seize the
target ponies. Those pursued sought
refuge In the thickest of tho press,
which literally became a dangerous
crush, and It appeared that rib-crack
ing must be a certainty, yet strange to
say, neither pursuers nor pursued were
In this case hurt. A veteran looker-on
said that there wers accidents at times,
and that be knew cases where men had
been killed in the pen. .
All the - beaters and other partici
pants were fishermen, and their .cos
tumes made a picture In themselves;
red shirts and blue shirts, high rubber
boots, rubber hats, with an occasional
palmetto hat of great size. Some went
Into the ruck wearing only a shirt and
trousers, risking tbelr bare feet amid
that wild trampling of hoofs. There
' was an all-pervading odor of wild ani
mals mingled with a milky smell and
the salty tang of the sea air. Above
everything rose the roar made by the
Incessant trampling of the ponies'
hoofs. ..-.
Incidents happened like flashes,
among these being fights by stallions,
which reared up and fought with fore
feet and teeth, and then lashed on
with heels, hammering with resound
ing blows the sides of any animals in
range, which yet seemed unhqrt, so
great la their toughness. There was no
lassoing during the penning; only the
bare hands being used, it being a mat
ter of special pride to thus take toe
ponies. So they have been taken, the
records shew, since 171S, when the reg
ister of brarjds begins. But these
ponies were in use Ions before that
date. ; The colta which follow the
mares are all the property of the
owners of such mares, the latter being
branded; but the motherless colta
that Is, the ones which do not follow
any mares are -mavericks," and .be
come the property of the beaters Or
penners aa a reward for the extremely
arduous w(ork the latter do In mating
the long drives. , The tiny colta are
first branded, and then the larger ones,
while the DetTners brand their maver-
Uka an "motherless colta," as they
always term them. After the desired
animals have been plckod out and
roped, the little boys were allowed to
enter the pen and show their skill and
prowess In seizing the yearling colts,
their elders looking on approvingly; It
was noticeable that the talk was low,
and that there was but one burst of
applause. These coast people are
quiet sort, chary of speecfe; really al
most quaker-llke.
There was a steady driving of bar
gains for ponies. : Prices generally
ranged from $25 to $60. These shaggy
little animals, taken from the bank,
broken, cared for and given other food
quickly become glossy, lose their wild
look, -and are highly valued. The old
er stallions are always smoother of
skin and darker, and not nearly to
wild-eyed aa the other ponies. None
of these animals in their wild elate
ever eat anything save marsh grass
and leaves of plants and trees, and eo
the ponies really have to be taught to
eat the food given other horses. The
experiment of Increasing the size of
these ponies while In a wild state by
placing horses on the banks has been
tried, but failed, as the pony stal
lions Invariably surround and kill the
horses, which they regard as intruders.
After all the ponies secured by the
northern drive had been picked over,
those remaining, Including the mares,
which are never sold, were turned
loose. Out of the wide gate of the
ben they fled, but stopped when a fw
hundred yards away and began eatlrg,
the little colta, freshly branded, join
ing their dams.
The ponies which had been sold
were after more or less struggling, led
down through the high marsh grass to
the shore nf th aniinH and wsrfl hoist
ed Into therlarger boats. The more
modern of the boatmen hoisted them
In with slings, while others let down a
panel In the side of the boat and liter
ally dragged the beasts in, this 'being
the old-fashioned and really barbarous
gled In the water and in the air, ap
niethod. The ponies, which strug
peared to be quite at home in the boats
Which soon hoisted sallB and went
careering away with them. When the
mainland was reached the buyers took
their ponlos out and led them away to
be broken, civilized and trained to eat
ginlu and other food utterly strange
to them. The ponies on the banks are
as wild as the rabbits, which likewise
abound there, and they have mucfV
Instinct, this teaching them to get wa
ter by pawing holes in the sand not
far from the shore, in which It rises,
being Altered by the sand, and they
know how to swim fearlessly and far
in water reasonably still, and also
which are the shallow places In which
they can walk, and save the trouble
of swimming. Thus In times of storm
they sometimes walk and swim to the
mainland, three or four miles from
their home, this movement being be
fore the elemental outbreak.
These ponies, as has been clearly
proved, were brought over by the first
EnellHh colonists to America, and. as
stated, came from the coast of-'Tiio'
Mediterranean, they belpsXthoHght
to be hardier than f)s. "English horse.

NEW WOMAN IN AUSTRALIA.
Vlda
Goldstein, Who Polled 6
1,000
Votes for Senator's Post.
Our English and American readers
cannot help feeling a little Interest
In Miss Vlda Goldstein, who polled
61,000 votes as a candidate for the
Australian senate, says the Imperial
Review. We remember also that Bhe
was listened to with pleasure in Am
erica two years ago, since which time
she has polished away a good deal of
crudity. In her candidature she ad
dressed large meetings to the number
of 24, or five in Melbourne and 19 in
the country, traveling alone, and yet
meeting with respect everywhere.
In her lecture, entitled "The Humor
and Pathos of My Senate Campaign,1
Mise Goldstein has told the story. The
lecture Is enlivened with limelight pic
tures, flinging on the canvas all the
numerous skits which Punch and the
Bulletin published about her, and these
drawings have met with roars of ap
preciation.
Vlda Is a little over 30 years old,
tall, slim and handsome, not to be ex
celled In the beauty show by any Mel
bournlenne, that is to say, by any
Australienne, of her .years. Thus she
flabbergasted . the Yokels, who looked
for one of the shrieking sisterhood,
with a blue nose and blue stockings.
Bhe polled nearly twice as well in the
country as in the city, although Mel
bourne has about half of Victoria's
population. This Indicates that more
meetings in Melbourne would have
pulled her up a good deal higher, but
three townships where she did not
speak at all placed her at the top of
the poll. 1
Our heroine is only deficient in what
comes under the heads of earnestness
and intensity, but such will come with
time, as she mellows away from the
clever, which Is, Indeed the best word
to sum bet up, in combination with
very great Industry, so that she Is not
only crisp and sparkling In utterance,
but informative and accurate. She has
the. gift of iiumor, and Is inclined to be
quizzical, which also makes one think
sometimes that she Is taking her fol
lowers out qf winding.
Miss Goldstein Is foundress and
Madame Speaker; of the Melbourne
Women's P irllament It mete fort
nightly In a large Collins street place
known as tie Assembly hall. There
Is a Lady P remler and Leader of the
Opposition.

THE PULPIT.
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON 61
DR. WILLIAM YOUNG CHAPMAN.
SnbJ eti Churchgolng Abolished.
Brooklyn, N. Y. Dr. William Young
Clinpnmu, pastor of the Lafayette Ave
nue Presbyterian Church, Buffalo,
preached Sunday at both services in
the Central rresbyterinn, Church. In
the morning he had as his subject
"Cbiirchgolng Abolished." The text
was from Revelation xxl:22: "And I
saw no temple therein." Dr, Chap
man said:
Among runny things in this sublime
apocalypse of St. John hard to be un
tlerstood there Is one, thing that stands
out with clearness and certainty, and
tlmt Is the vision of the perfected
church, the Ideal society. It is the
same church triumphant and perfect
there that is militant and defective
here. The snuic souis that struggle
and suffer hero arc they that walk In
white nnil wave palms of victory there.
Here we see ns In a glass darkly
There they see face to face. Here we
know in part, there they know as they
nrc known. John had given to him a
divine horoscope, revealing the consum
mation and absolute perfection of the
essential characteristics of the kingdom
of Cod concentrated In the imperial
eapltnl of tho universe the city of
God. By every sort of figure and sym
bol arc Its glories set forth. And we
lenrn as much about it by what is said
negatively as by what Is said positive
ly. Thus we are told It has streets of
gold and gates of pearl and a sea of
glass and all the most costly nnd beau
tiful things of this world, while all
that Is disagreeable pain, sickness,
sorrow, sin, death is wanting there.
There Is nothing to hurt or annoy, no
night, no more sen, no temple.
And it strikes us at first thought as
very strange that there should be no
temple, no central place of worship In
a city which we are accustomed to
liiink is altogether devoted to religion.
And yet the text states a great truth
which I want to treat broadly, and I
believe the text contains easily the sub
ject by which I have chosen to entitle
this discourse, "Cliiiroligolng Abol
ished." The end being attained, the
menus are discontinued. Hence there
nre no more churches, no times, nor
places, nor forms; no liturgies, nor rit
uals; no ecclesiastical machinery such
its we know here.
And, surely, this must corho as a Wel
come announcement to many a tired
churchgoer In this world who finds his
religious duties more or less irksome,
and to ninny n non-churchgoer, who
xs not feel quite comfortable In his
gleet of formal religious exercises,
any there arc who indulge nil ludif-i-put
hope of heaven as a sort of
ilmmmednn paradise, where they
ly enjoy on eternal holiday, basking
the uucrented rays, drinking from
bathing In the waters of tho foun-
life, eating the twelve manner
and sailing on the glassy sea.
y would hardly be attracted to
where this ceaseless round of
siasticnl duties should go on for-
Imagine such a one enjoying the
of that glorious city, counting
thereof, marking well her
and admiring her founda-
smr. and sapphire and chal-
and sarilua and emerald and
snrdmiyx and chrysofte and beryl and
tiipnz nnd chrysoprnsis and jacinth
and amethyst, when siildenly there
conies n peal from the goldcl bells and
poor squl, he must take hlnisifaVoff to
prayers. - ,
Let such a ono be comforted, foi
John says be saw no temple there, and
we dare to infer from that statement
that there Is no synagogue, nor meet
ing house, nor Sunday, nor formal re
ligious exercise, "for tho Lord God Al
mighty and the Lamb are the temple
of it." '
It becomes us to inquire more closely
Into the truth Involved here.' ''And, if
what John saw was the church trlu'm,
phnnt, If the conditions he"saw',wero
the perfection of what Is rudimentary,
bore, If the Itoly City, New Jerusalem,
Is continually coming down from God
out of liea veil then we ought to be" re
alizing more land more on earth that
nenveniy comiimoii.
I believe thdt condition Is illustrated
by the progressive church of Christ on
eurth. Think flr a moment of the ad
vantages we hvive over the'anclent

llien, too, his dally ddvotions found
expression in a most elnborate ceremo

"which neillior our fathers! nor .we

Now it was immunity from these In

Our Lord stated the precious tSth to
the woman at the well. Sal! she.
'Our fathers worshiped in this tnoun-

"Woman, believe Me, the hour cotneth
when ye shall neither in this mdunttatn,
nor yet at Jerusalem, worship I the
Father. But the hour eometh and ftow
is, when the true worshipers shall wor

God is a spirit, and they that worstklp

In twain from the top to the bottom,"

in the hearts of men, turning their
thoughts and affections to God, there Is
the cmirch. It matters not whether it
be In Greenland's Icy mountains or Iu
din's cornl strand. It mntters not
whether it be in gorgeous cathedra) or
in mountain cave. It matters not
whether th worshiper be white or
black, whether he worship on bis knees
or on bis feet or on bis back, so long its
lie worship iu spirit and in truth.
Christianity so far as It consists nf a
visible performance at all Is the most
natural and spontaneous outgo of the
religions instincts to God, and religious
worship is essentially a personal com
munion with God, and in such form
and place ns is best suited to the wor
shiper and most in accordance with tho
will of God.
Hence, you will see, one of the prime
characteristics of the church triumph
ant Is perfect liberty. "Get rellglou,"
said Augustine, "and do as you pleuso."
By which he meant If you truly get re
llglou you will always please to do
right. Paul means the same thing
when ho says, "If ye be In the spirit
ye nre not under the law," And Jesus
meant the same when He said, "Make
the tree good and his fruit will be
good." And hence, the Ideal Cbrlstlnn
life Is perfectly Tpontnncoiis. Obe
dience is not by compulsion of inw, but
by impulsion of love. "All the Inw is
fulfilled In one word, 'Thou slialt
love.' "
We have heard not a little about
"the conseut of the governed," and we
nre likely to lienr move. The state
ment as It stands In that famous docu
ment will not bear a literal application.
But there is good reason to bellcvo
that our fathers knew whnt they were
talking about. If they had said, "gov
ernment derives its potency from the
consent of the governed" they would
have been uttering the exact truth.
Statutes are Inoperative until the sub
jects consent. Terfect society implies
perfect acquiescence in the will of the
superior or law making power. The
more society progresses toward unity,
the simpler and more equable will gov
ernment become, because the more gen
eral will bo the consent or acqulesence
lu the government, l'nul snys, "I con
sent unto the law that it Is good," nnd
lu the perfect e iety of John's vision
each mnn enjoys perfect liberty lie
cnuse the will ot the governor and the
governed nre in perfect correspond
ence. Knch individual docs ns ho
pleases and nt the snmo time does as
He pleases.
In sonic such way the perfect com
munity Is characterised by perfect
unity without uniformity. Each per
forms bis own duty in hit own way,
but Is all the while in perfect har
mony with his neighbor. Agnin. in the
perfected society there Is no distinc
tion between the religious and the sec
ulnr. Here wo have our times and
places of religion. We gather here in
tills house of prayer, believing thnt
God is present here ns He is not in
other places, ns. Indeed, He hns prom
ised to be. It is God's concession to
our limitations nnd inlirinllics. But
It Is far from the ideal. We nre apt
to Identify religion with the means of
relljilon, rather tlinii religion itself.
We get grace by our religious exercises
to keep God's commandments in nil
our wnlks of life, and Ihnt is religion.
The members of the church triumph
ant nre equnlly religious every dny-ot
the week and every hour of the day,
and bene?, church-going in our sense
of the word, is forever abolished. Iu
that society, one does not need to say

Znchnrlnh hnrt that vision njes be

ness to the Lord" inscribed on the
bells of the horses and the pots In
the Lord's house, ns sacred ns the
bowls of the altar; yea, nnd every pot
In Jerusalem ns holy as the vessels of
the sanctunry. That was nt lenst a
glimpse of the tenipleless city of God.
And now shnll we not keep before
us that ideal?. Let us not be discour
aged by the grent dlspnrlty between
that far-off perfection and present
reality. The poet well expresses our
feeling: ,;,
Oh,
Land of Promise, from what Pis-
gab's height
Can I behold thy Btretch of peaceful
bowers,
Thy golden harvest dowlng out of
sight,
The nestled homes and sun-Illumined
towers?
Gazing upon the sunset's high-heaped
. gold,
Its crags of opal and of chrysolite,
Its deeps on deeps of glory, that un
fold, ,, ..
Still brightening abysses,
And blazing precipices.
Whence but a scanty leap It seems tr
heaven,
8ometlmcs a glimpse Is given
Of thy gorgeous realm, thy more un
stunted blisses.
Gazing upon that vision, let ns be
faithful to our temple duties here that
we may be fitted for that city where
there is no temple, "for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple
of it."

Twig Glrdlers.
Frequently complaints reach ento
mologists regarding Insects that girdle
the twigs of fruit nnd shade trees, as
well as shrubs and flowers, causing
them to drop to tho ground. There
are several kinds of glrdlers, but the
species' doing the greatest amount of
damage is known as Oncideres cingu
latus. The female punctures the branch,
generally near a leaf bud or axil, and
there Inserts an egg. The writer has
picked up twigs about three feet long
and containing 13 eggs. The egg is
a flattlsh white object which is push
ed through the puncture and thruBt
froni one-sixteenth to one-third of an
Inch downward between the wood and
bark. It Is after egg-laying that the
female gnaws a groove around the
punctured branch. - The twig dies and
tne young larvae when hatched feed
on the dead wood. Sooner or later
these girdled twigs fall to the ground
and In them the larvae become full
grown, change to the pupae, and final
ly escape aa thb adult beetles,
The adult insect is a robust beetle,
about eleven, twentieths of an Inch
long, of a brownish gray color,, with
dull reddish spots and a broad, red
dish band across the middle of the
wing covers. ' The feelers or "horns"
are longer than the body.
As the Insect completes its trans
formations in the fallen branches, the
hfst method for subduing It is to gath
er these fallen twigs and bum them.
This should be done in winter or early
spring. It is sure to get most of the
insects, Snd it is the season when the

The Farm Chunk.
This Is the time of year when the
greatest demand exists In the great
markets for agricultural horses. Such
animals otherwise known aa farm
chunks sell at prices ranging from $60
to $115 or $125 on the top. They are
bought by farmers outright or by deal
ers who run them out into the coun
try, where there Is a shortage of team
power and sold at public or private
sale at a profit. They are not large.
Most of them are not really large
enough foe profitable farm use. Mares
are generally preferred to geldings and
bring the best prices, the Intention of
the purchasers being to breed them.
Nevertheless, many small mean geld
ings are each spring bought for farm
consumption. Wo cannot see where
there Is any money to be made using
geldings on the farm, save as a pre
liminary to selling them. Mares do
just as much work and will breed at
the same time. A gelding returns
nothing but the work he docs for his
purchase price and tho feed put Into
him. Of course, the geldings cost less
money, but Is thero real ecouomy in
buying a thing because it is cheap
when a profit can be made on the ex
penditiire of a little more money and,
none from the purchase of the cheap
article? We know that the wise farm-
er is ho who buys as heavy mares as
his purse wllW allow. No farmer
should buy a mare weighing less than--'
14hfl pounds and 1500 or lTWrrmrnds
is far better still. It does not take
sr.ch a great deal of money to buy a
pair of lfiflO-poun.l marcs. They can
be got for from ?3I0 to $350, perhaps '
for as little as $20 or $2!)n, and sure
ly there Is more reiki economy in Buch
a purchase than li paying $250 or
$2H0 for a pair of marc:) weighing 1100
or 1200 pounds eji.ch. The added
amount of work dojie will make am
ple interest nnd thi? first foals will
far more than make jup the purchase
