DAVID AND GOLIATH. The Story as Told foy a Local Preacher in the Southwest. Last week, my brethren, as I was a-readin' in my Bible, I found a story en a big fight (I. Samuel, xvii.) It was powerful interesting and i studied it almost all the week. There was two armies a-campin' on two moun tains, right fornenst each other, and a holler and, I reckon, some good bot tom land and a medder lot lyin' be tween 'em. In one of the armies there was a big feller-a whoppin' great big feller-and every day he went down into the medder lot and looked up the hill to t'other camp, and just dared 'em. He told 'em to pick their best man and send him down the hill and he'd fight him. And snell soger close I never heard tell on afore. He had a brass cap and brass trous ers, and a coat made like mail-bags where they are all ironed and riveted together. But the fellers in t'other camp - just clean flunked. They daren't fight the big feller, nary one en 'em. They jest sneaked away, and the Big feller he went back to camp. Bat he didn't quit thar, the big fel ler didn't. He was spilin' for a fight and he was bound to have it. He jest went down into the bottom land, into the medder lot, every day, moro in' and evenin, and dared 'cm and dared 'em. 'I tell you he pestered 'em mightily. The old feller, Saul, the gin eral, he felt more -chawed up and meaner than the sogers, and when he couldn't stan' it no longer, he told the boys that if any bn 'em wanted to go down and lick the big feller he give him his gal and a right smart chance of plunder. But they was all so skeered that even that didn't start one of 'em. The big feller went down and dard 'em, and pestered 'em more'n a month-40 days, the Bible says. I don't know what they'd done if it hadn't a been that a pert little feller had come down to camp, one day, to fetch some extra rations to his three big brothers, that their old dad sent to 'em from home. Kind old pap, he - was, and sharp, too, for he sent along a big present to the boys' cap'en. "Well, jest as the little feller drove up, they was all gwine out to fight, and thc little feller left his traps with the driver, and legged it after tfee sogers, and told his big brothers howd'y. Bight thar the old big feller came out and dared 'em again, and they were all so skeered that they just run like mad. The little feller heared him, and then went back into camp and heared all the sogers talkin' about him, and what the old gineral would give to have him licked. He asked 'em a heap of questions about it all, and his big brother he gotmad athim, and twitted him about keeping sheep, and gave him a right smart of sass. He was plucky, but, you see, he had to stan' it, 'cause 'twas his big broth er. Big brothers are mighty mean sometimes. But the little feller talked a heap with the other sogers, and they told the old gineral about him, and he told them to tell the little feller to come and see him. The little fellow was .mighty plucky, and just up and told the old gineral Saul that he would fight thc big feller! Thc giueral looked at the handsome little feller-he was real handsome-and ses he, kinder softly, liI reckon," and shakin' his head, "it's too big a job; you're only a chunk of a boy, and he's an old fight er." The little feller spunked up, aod told the old gineral that he'd had one b'ar fight, and he killed thc b'ar. He said there was an old lion and a b'ar got among his dad's sheep, and was gwine off with a lamb. He broke for 'im and as soon as he met up with the old b'ar he lamm'd him till the b'ar turned on him for a hug; but he got one hand into the long ha'r under his jaw and ?ainm'd him with thc othcr'n till he was dead. He'd killed the lion and the b'ar, and he know'd he was enough for the old big feller. Then the little feller talked real re ligion to the old gineral. You sec, he'd got religion afore that, and he know'd that thc Lord would help a feller, if he was all right, and got into a tight place. He told dineral Saul that the Lord had made him mighty supple and looked out for him when the old lion and b'ar tried to get their paws into him: and he knowed He would see him through the fight with the old big feller, for he was just dar in* and pesterin' 'em to make game of religion. ^Yhen the old gineral sei d he was so plucky and religious, too, he knowed them's thc kin' that fit powerful, and he told him to go in, and he made a little prayer for hisself. Then the old gineral put his own ?o jjer close on the little feller, and strapped his sword onto him. Tint they were a heap too big, and he shucked em off directly, and made for a dry branch down into the bot tom. Then he hunted live little rocks, smooth as a hen egg, put 'em in a little bag where he carried his snack when he was tendin' thc sheep, got his sling fixed all right, and hurried up to meet the old big feller in the medder lot. When he seed him corni ti4 he was powerful mad they'd sent down sucha feller, aod jawed awful. But the lit tle feller just talked back religious and kept his eyes peeled. And I reckon the big feller couldn't a been a-lookin1*; for thc little feller got out his sling and drew away and shied a little rock at him, and he popped him and down he tumbled. Then thc lit tle feller rushed up and mounted, jest as an old hunter loves to get on a b'ar after he'd shot, lura; and he out with the big feller's long sword and off with his head. Then it was them Philis tine sinners' turn to be skeered, and they broke for the brush, aud all of them chil'en of Israel fellers jest shouted, and chased 'em clean over the mountain into a valley, and then com'd back and got all their camp plunder. My brethren, that's the best story of a fight I ever read after, and you can't buy no better story book nor this very Bible. - mm <* tm - ENGAGEMENTS OF MARRIAGE. They Should he Definite and Brief, not Conditional and Protracted. Neto York Sttn. This letter propounds a question of grave importance to society, and in vites a discussion which should be of general interest : t:To the Editor of the *Sr/<?-Sir : What is a father's duty for the hap piness and welfare of his daughter un der the following conditions? After a four years' courtship a gentleman says that 'his finances are not suffi cient for him to marry at present.' but that he will continue his attention and when the future develops his re sources so that he can support a wife he will then marry the daughter. Of course, this is understood between them ; and it is farther agreed that if meantime either prefers another, thc engagement is oft, 'and he or she can marry the ono of his choice.' Such a fatuous contract is suggestive. The dim future is dark with uncertainty, as applicable to the conditions. Hence the question. ' 'In a recent editorial you strike the keynote of ray question in saying : 'The superiority of the tumultuous youthful passion and impulse of the daughters to the experience and judg ment of the parents wrecks thc happi ness of too many homes. ' :PATEUF AM I LI AS. ' ' In the first place, neiiher a girl her self nor her parents should tolerate a four-yonrs' engagement, except under very extraordinary circumstances. It is injurious to the girl in many ways and serves no desirable purpose. The prolonged acquaintance does not tend to the better preparation of the pair for marriage, but rather ts produce weariness in one or the other, which decreases the probabilities of eventual marriage as thc time is extended. It is an unnatural relation. As a rule, no man ought' to "court" a girl until he is in a situation to marry her ; he has no right to ask her to become his wife unless he is already in a condi tion to assume the responsibilities of matrimony. Because a man has con ceived an affection for a woman he should be all the more anxious to save her from tying herself to him in an engagement of indefinite duration. An attempt to bind her by a promise of marriage at some remote time in the future, determinable by himself only, is pure selfishness in him. A bcthrothal is simply an engage ment preliminary to marriage, and it should not be entered into by a man until he eau sec his way to the fulfil ment at thc altar. Hence a bcthrothal ought to be announced with scarcely less formality than the marriage itself. The Jews who advertise their engage ments in thc newspapers follow a proper and desirable course in thus making a bcthrothal a matter of record as a serious and definite obligation. ''(Jetting engaged" is a grave matter ; there is in life few compacts with con sequences more far-reaching ; no man worthy to bc a husband promises mar riage without the determination to wed thc girl within a reasonable time, the sooner thc better. Tho old way for parents to require of a man dawdling about a daughter to ?;dcclare his intentions.'" that is to say, whether bc was monopolizing her company aad driving oft* other fellows with thc serious intention of marrying her if she would, or simply to gratify his vanity by securing her prefer ence. If a man expresses his inten tion to marry a woman at some indefi nite time in the future when it is con venient for him, it is not a betrothal, lt amounts to nothing, for he makes no absolute promise. It i)> merely a conditional agreement, and it is-left to his own pleasure to settle the condi tions. In thc peculiar instance referred to u.< there is not CYCII the pretence of a betrothal. The young man evidently wants to play fast ami loose. If lie ia unable to get some girl he prefers to marry, he will, perhaps, marry this young woman, in the course of eter nity. Such a proposition is an insult tn a girl, even if it is accompanied by the stipulation that she shall have liberty to do thc same. It is not a betrothal, an engagement, but simply a travesty of one of the most serious compacts in life. Four yours' eugageiuent? Four weeks is better. Four months is long enough. If a man really is euamor?d of a woman c?ery minute of delay after winning her before he maltes her his bride is irksome to him. Why does a man ask a woman to betroth herself to him? Is it not that he wants and intends to marry her? Why. then, should she consent unless he is ready to prove his faith by his works? Beware, girls, of the selfish or cra ven-hearted fellows, who wants to en tangle you in long engagements simply to keep from you truer and braver and better swains.

"Hypnotism isa mysterious thing that is now claimed to be used by swindlers and charlatans in their devilish work as well as by repu table men of science, but I have often wondered why some shrewd gam bler has not turned his attention to hypnotism and used it as a means of making easy winnings," said M. O. Burrill of Chicago, who was discuss ing "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" with a party of trav eling men at the Planters'. "Tho nearest thing to hypnotism in gambling that I ever saw was five or six years ago at Grand Forks, N. D. Quite a commotion was caused by a stranger, dressed in the garb of a country merchant, winning at a singlo sitting $2,300 in Charley Mar tin's gambling rooms. This stranger in the guise of a country merchant dropped into Martin's place and gazed around at the gamblers. He appeared to be greatly surprised at the extent of tho gambling that was going on. I remember him well. "Ho was slim, of medium height, high forehead and bald head. He was smooth shaven, with eyes deep ly set and which shone with won drous brightness. Ho tried his luck at various games, with varying suc cess. Finally he stopped at the rou lette table and placed $1 on 17. The little ivory ball spun around a few times and dropped into 3S. He did not appear to care about gambling any more anti went into tho saloon adjoining. Soon the gamblers began to go out for lunch, and ho returned to the wheel, where he sat down and began to play light. The room was soon oleared of all gamblers except the man at the wheel. The player glanced into the man's faco, and his eyes fairly glistened as meanwhile he placed money on different num bers. A few men who had either gambled their money away or were out of luck came in and gathered around the player, seeing that he was beginning to play high. "All noticed that the man at tho wheel seemed to bo under somo strange influence and appeared to be acting contrary to his desire. He would whirl the little ivory marble, and, regardless of the fact that the player was losing, he would pay the bet in tho same ratio as if he had won. Thc on lookers, of course, had no sympathy with the gambler, and they watched in silence. When the last dollar had been taken from the drawer, the player thrust the money before him into his pocket, never tabing his eyes from the wheelman's face, and vanished through the door. That was tho last seen of the sup posedly country merchant. "The instant the stranger was out of the room the man who manipu lated the wheel reached his hands to his head and shuddered. When he discovered that the till was empty, he swore that he had been knocked down and robbed, but ho was in formed by the bystanders, among whom were several well known citi zens of the town, that such was not the case, fie was told that ho had been paying off bets for 20 minutos in a reckless manner and that he had not been robbed, but cheated. " 'I don't know how it was done!' I was hypnotized!' exclaimed tho man at tho wheel. "He could not bo made to believe that he was so careless as to givo up about $2,300 unless he had been put under some magic spell, and many of those present were firm in tho be lief that the man at tho wheel had really been hypnotized. Anyhow tho man declared ho would thereafter be chary of all mon with bright eyes."-?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Outdoing Wagner Himself. Moro than a dozen yours ago an eminent English critic, commenting on tho signs of that imitation, that plagiarism of tho Wagner manner already then evident among com posers, pointed out the danger that would exist if Wagner's most en thusiastic supporters should attempt -as they certainly havo done-to carry his views und theories even farther than he carried them him self. Ho says: "This warns us of serious danger-danger that thc free course of art may lie paralyzed by a soulless mannerism worthy only of the meanest copyist; danger, on thc other hand, cd' a reaction which will heall the moro violent and unrea soning in proportion to the amount of provocation needed to excite it." Ho remarks further, and with truth: "It would take os u long day tu tiro of Wagner, but wo cannot take him at second hand.
