"My dear," said I to my wife, as we
walked home, ''sometimes it seeuis to s
me as if our life were uureal. We goj.
to church, and the things that we hear a
are true or false. For instance, the .Advent
sermons our rector preaches. Do g
we really believe what we hear in v
church? Oris it only a dream?"
"I do believe," said my wife earnest f
ly (she is a good woman, my wife) ?
"Yes, I do believe, but isjust as you say. s
Oh, dear! I feel as if I'm very worldly
?I have so many things to think of," (
and she sighed. 1
So did I; fori knew that J, too, was j
very worldly.
After a pause I said, "Suppose Christ f
should really come?suppose it should (
be authoritatively announced that he (
would be here tomorrow!"
"I think." said my wife, "there t
would be some embarrassment on the |
part of our great men, legislators and
councillors, in anticipation of a person,
al interview. Fancy a meeting of the ?
city council to arrange a reception for t
the Lord Jesus Christ." 1
"Perhaps," said I, "he would refuse a
all offers of the rich and great. Perhaps
our fashionable churches would j
plead for his presence in vain. Hv j
would not be in palaces." c
"Oh," said my wife earnestly, "If I t
thought our money eeperated us from 'j
him, I would give it all?yes, all? (
might I only see him." e
She spoke from the bottom of her v
heart, and for.a moment her face was j
glorified. * 0
"You will see him some day," said
I, "and the money we are willing to q
give up at a word for him will not keep
him from us."
That evening the thoughts of the
waking hours mirrored themselves in
a dream. I seemed to be walking in
the streets, and conscious ofa strange, I
vague senses of something just declar- i
ed, of which all were speaking with a v
suppressed air of mysterious voices. r
I heard one say to another, "Really i
coming? What? Tomorrow"? And c
the other said, "Yes, tomorrow he t
will be here." c
It was night. The stars were glit- t
terintr down witn a Keen irosty ngm; *the
shops glistened in their bright ar- c
ray; but the same sense of hushed ex- t
pectancy pervaded everything, There e
seemed to be nothing doing; and each t
person looked on his neighbor as if to t
say, "Have you heard ?" v
Suddenly, as I walked, an angel-form t
was with me, gliding softly by my s
side. The face was solemn, sereue <i
and calm. Above the forehead was a c
pale, tremulous, phosphorous radiance a
of light, purer than any on earth?u g
light of quality so difFefeut from that u
of fhestreet lamps that my celestial d
attendant seemed to move in a sphere t<
alone. s
Yet, though I felt a sense of awe, T r
felt also a confiding love as I said t*
'Tell me, is it really true? Is Christ n
coming?"
' He is," said the angel. "To-mor- ^
row he will be here." a
!' "What joy!" I cried.
4'Is it joy?" said the angel. "Alas,
to many in this city it is only terror!
Come with me."
In a momentl seemed to bestauding J
with him in one of the chief palace.of
the city. A stout, florid, bald-head- s
ed man was seated at table covered \
papers, which he was sorting over
with nervous anxiety, muttering to 1
himself as he did so. On a sofa lay a i
sad-looking, delicate woman her emaciated
hands clasped over a little c
book. t
The room was, in all its appointments,
a witness of boundless wealth,
yet the man himself seemed to have >
been neither elevated nor refined by
the confluence of all these treasures.
He seemed nervous and uneasy. He v
wiped the sweat from his brow and 9
spoke: ?
"I don't know, wife, how you feel, o
but I don't like this news. I don't un- v
derstand it. It puts a stop to every- ?
thing I know anything about." >
"Oh, John," said the woman turn- ?
ing toward him a face pale and fervent, |
and clasping her hands, "how can you a
say so ?" f<
"Well, Mary, it's the truth. I don't f
care it I say it. I don't want to meet u
?well, I wish he would put it off'. h
What does he want of me? I'd be t
willing to make over?well, three mil- n
lions to fourd a hospital if he'd be
satisfied and let me go on. Yes, I'd '
give three millions to buy off" from tomorrow.
"
8he cast on him a look full of s
Pity. t
' Cannot I make you see ?" she r
said. v
"No, indeed,you can't. Why, look ,
here," he added pointing to the paper*, J
"here is what stands for millions. To- e
night it's mine, and to-morrow it will t]
all be so much paper; and then what a
have I left! Do you think I can c
rejoice?, I'd give; I'd I'd give? v
the whole, not have him come g
these three hundred years." She 9
stretched out her hand towards him, j(
. but be pushed it back.
"Do you see ?" said the angel, to c
me,solemnly, "between him aud her a
there ie^a great gulf fixed. They have j
lived in one house with that gulf be- D
tween them for years. She cannot go v
to him; he cannot go to her. To-mor- u
row she will rise to Christ as a dew v
drop to the sun; and he will call on v
the mountains and rock9 to fall on j(
him?not because Christ hates him; t(
but because he hates Christ." c
Again the scene was changed. v
We stood together in a little low j(
attic, lighted by one small lamp?how
poor it was!?a broken chair, a rickety
table, a bed in the corner where the
little ones were cudding close to one
another for warmth. Poor things ! ^
The air was so frosty that their breath .
congealed upon the bed clothes, as they 1
talked in soft baby voices : "When g
mother comes she will bring us some
supper," said they. "But I'm so 1
cold," .said the little outsider. ?
Get into the middile then," said *
the other two, "and we will warm you. *
Mother promised she'd make a fire
when she came in, if that man would
said the oldest boy, "he never pays
mother if he can help it." b
"What a bad man he is !" said 0
the oldest boy, "he never pays e
mother If he can help it."
Just then the door opened and a pale, b
thin woman came in, laden down with
packages.
She laid all down and came to her
children's bed, clasping her hands in
rapture. ,
"Joy ! joy ' children! Oh, joy ! joy ! J
Christ is coming ! He is coming tomorrow."
Every little bird in the nes twas up
and the little arms around the mother's c
neck; the children believed at once.
They had heard of the good Jesus.
He had been their mother's only

gry day, and they doubted not he was
coming.
"Oh, mother, will he take us ! He
will, won't he ?"
"Yes, my little ones," she said softly,
smiling to herself. "He shall gather
the lambs with his arms, aud carry
them in his bosom."
Again I stood in a brilliant room, ]
full of luxuries. Three or four fair t
women were standing pensively talk- <i
ing with each other. Their apartmeut
was bestrewn with jewelry, laces, silks,
'i&r-J. \ . ' . - ' i
velvets and every fanciful elegance <>i
ash ion; but thev looked troubled.
"This* seems to me really awful,''
aid one with a suppressed si^h.
What troubles lue is, 1 know so little
ibout it."
"Yes," said another, "and it puts 11
top so to every thine;! Of what use
vill all these things be tomorrow?"
There was a poor seamstress in the
orner of the room,who now spoke.
'We shall be ever with the Loid," she
iaid.
"I'm sure I don't know what that
an mean,"said the lirst speaker, with
iind of shudder; "it seems rather
earful."
"Well," said the other; "it seems
=o sudden?when one never dreamed
)f any such things?to change all at
)nce, from this to that other life."
"It is enough to be with him," said
he poor woman. " Oh, I have longed
'or it."
"The great gulf," said the angel.
Then,again,we stood on the steps oi
t church. A hand of clergymen were
ogether?Episcopal, Methodist, Kapist,
Presbyterian, Congregationalist?
ill stood hand in hand.
"It is no matter now about these old
ssues," they said. "He is coming,
ie will settle all. Ordinations and
trdinaces, sacraments and creeds are
>ut the scaffolding of the edifice.
Phey are the shadow; the substance is
Christ." And hand in hand they turn
d their faces where the morning ligh t
vas beginning faintly to glow, and
heard them saying together, with
ine heart and one voice:
"Come; Lord Jesus! come

A Killing or the War Dcpnrlment.
The order recently issued by the War
department to the efiect that th>
American soldiers who married native
women in Porto Rico would be held
esponsible by the militrv authoritief
they deserted their waves aud chilIreu
furnishes a lesson as to thecharater
of the American soldiers. But deent,
houorable people are appalled at
he idea of such baseness. It is not
lomplimentary to the sense of morality
fthe American people to be compelled
o say that there may be some dill'ermce
of opinion as to wherein the baseless
cousists ; but there are doubtless
hose who think it baser to live with a
vomau of an inferior race even after
lie bonds of matrimony have been
ealed than to desert her and her chil
IreD because such a relationship might
lot be tolerated in this country. It it
, pitiable plight these soldiers have
ot themselves into, it is true, but the
rar department does right when it
emands of them that they reiuaiin
aithful to their alliances. They
hould be compelled, if it be possible to
emain in Porto Rico or be transported
r> some other clime where miscegelation
of this sort is tolerated.
Meautitne, let the soldiers of tin
Lnglo-Saxon nations stationed anions
lien races take warning.

A HEALTHY MAN.
Here Are the Points That Go to Ilak*
n Centenarian.
Here are the points of a healthy man.
If you havo thcra all you may, barring
accidents, count on being a centenarian.
, If you have most of them, you'll reach a
ripe old age, but even if you havo only a
few don't be alarmed, for many apparently
crazy human machines last a surprisingly
long time.
First, your body and limbs should be
plump, but the plumpness shruld be of
the firm and muscular, not the fleshy type.
Your liguro ought to be erect, and, whether /

yuu are win ur Diiuri/| ? cu pxupui iiuxicu. i
Length without breadth is a very bad
thing in a man, for there is no room for
vital organs large enough to thoroughly J
perform their duties.
Your step should be springy and elastic,
your gait firm and easy. These things indicate
muscles of good quality and nerve
of good tono. Your eye should bo bright
. and neither prominent nor hollow. Bright
eyes show that the circulation of blood in
i the brain is good.
Your complexion should bo clear and
fresh. It is usually not well with you
when your face is pale, sallow, florid or
subject to sudden flushings. But in this
matter your occupation has great influence,
and you might have the worst possi,
ble complexion and be in perfect health.
, But that, of course, is tho exception, not
the rule.
Your head should not be very large, or
at least if it is large your neck, shoulders
and chesc ought to correspond in size. If
you feel your pulse, it shrtuld be regular;
if it drops a beat now and again or beats
very fast and excitedly after the least exertion
or emotion then tho heart is weak.
Your breathing should be tranquil and inaudible.
Any sounds mean that tho passages
are more or less clogged.
You should not know you have a stomach?that
is to say, as a rule. Of course
there are times when that organ gets out
of order in the healthiest individual, and

COUNTY MUTUAL jv
II ASSOCIATION i
OF AMERICA. *
Abbeville Division.
Abbeville, S. C.
IT IS WITH PLEASURE WE
announce the fact that we have
it'ected arrangement by which weare
irepared to conduct the business of
he "County Mutual Benefit Associaion
of America" in Abbeville Couny,
independent of the Parent Asaoiation
whose headquarters are at Un- _
:)n, 8. C. J
The purpose of the Association is to
ecure to the family of each member
f the same who may die, one dollar
3r every member belonging to the As- i
ociation at the time of his or her
eath. J
rri? :. 1 ? ? !? I _ t ? W ?
iuc iuca Hi vjuiuiiau 13 iu ianc uuc
housand persons, men and women, 1
ind them together in a business way
o help each other in time of need and
rouble. It is more like a family afair
than anything, else. You only 0
iay when one dies. If you join now 1
'our first payment of $3.50 pays you t
ip until first of January, 1905, unless 1
ve lose one of our members, when you ,
eould be called on to pay one dollar t
,nd ten cents to replace the amount
>aid out on account of the death claim
ind expenses.
It is unquestionably the cheapest in- *
urance khown of. You are receiving
nsurance at actual cost.
Any white persons between the ages
?f eighteen and fifty-five, male or fenale,
may become a member of the
Vssociation until the number of one
housand be reached; after that no
me over thirty can get in, and he only
o replace a deceased member. If,
herefore, you are over thirty years of
ige this is the only chance you will
lave of joining.
You owe it to your family, you owe
t to yourself to provide something for
heir protection in case you are taken
iway from them.
Consider trie matter, examine ana
itudy oar plan, act promptly and let
>ur agents write you up at once.
Remember that this is purely a home
nstitution ; the money to pay death
;laims is in the bank at this place, beng
always collected in advance of a
Jeath ; the claim paid immediately on
aotice of death of the member; no
waiting sixty or ninety days, with
iver so much "red tape" to be observed
in order to collect a death claim
