An Infant In its cradle slept,
And in Its sleep it tmllcd,
And one by one three women knelt
To kiss the fair haired child,
And encii thought of the days to lie
And breathed a prayer half silently.
One poured her love on many lives,
Hut knew love’, toil and care.
Its burdens oft had been to her
A heavy weight to bear.
She stooped and murmured lovingly,
"Not burdened hands, dear child, for thee.*'
One had not known the burdened hands.
But knew the empty heart.
At life's rich banquet she had sat
An unfed guest apart.
‘Oh, not,” she whispered tenderly,
"Au empty heart, dear child, for theot”
And one wue old; she hud known care,
Ehc had known loneliness.
Klie knew God leads us by no path
His presence cannot bless.
Hhe smiled and murmured trustfully,
"God’s will, dear child, God's will for theeP

OF THE SOIL.
A Vivid Picture of Love and
Desertion.
By Ethel Knight.
They went iwiiTled—heaven knows
why, as with so many of them—and
went to live on Vance’s Island, a long,
fertile strip in the river, three miles
wide. There were no other inlmhilants,
and the hills on the river banks shut
away all sound of outer life. If * had
been raised in the country, but she was
a town lass, and the gas lumps and
bustle of the seaport bad got into her
blood. Perhaps she never loved him;
anyway she was not happy.
Kite was au industrious wench. The
tiny two roomed cottage he had built
was kept scrupulously neat, and she
helped him in the fields, when, with
her sleeves rolled back from Iter round,
brown arms and a cow’s breakfast, as
they call the wide straw farmers’ hats
in New Brunswick, on her dark hair,
he thought her a proper woman enough,
with her lithe, strong ligure and gleam
ing eye, but never told her so.
By and by she seldom talked and
grew restless ou the days when they
put oil’ in their rowboat to deliver eggs
and butter to the river steamers, lie
did not notice how eagerly she scanned
the dress of the women passengers nor
how the captain kept an eye on all her
movements.
Fall came, tinting the landscape like
a splendid sunset, and the red and yel
low trees rustled in the windy sunshine
of October days. Then he sprained his
ankle and had to hide at his doorstep,
while she took the boat and rowed out
to the steamer for the tyade. She
seemed to be gone longer than neces
sary, be thought. Perhaps she was*
driving a hard bargain. Site was
shrewd, and be was lucky to have her.
He wished she would liven up a hit,
though, and not long so much for the
town and shops. What did a farmer’s
wife need in town except a market for
her wares? But women were all odd.
lie was right in his surmise. She
had raised the price of the butter and
eggs and brought home a few extra
cents. So on the following days, when
she delayed her return several minutes,
he was not impatient. But when the
next time for the steamer to pass came
and the minutes lengthened into (piar-
tc*rs, then hours, he grew disturbed and
hobbled to the beach. She pulled a
good, strong oar for a town lass, but
her father was a sailor, so It came nat
ural for her to manage a boat. The
river was a treacherous How of water,
hut her boat was easy to pull, and she
had not far to go.
It was strange he could not see lur.
Perhaps she had gone around to the
sand beach. The rowan trees were
there, and she had a fancy for decking
up the house with them. He thought
it somewhat cruel as well as profitless
to rob tin* birds of their winter food,
but she laughed at that.
He would best go home, he thought,
and put the potatoes ou for dinner. It
was the lass’ work, hut she had gone
to do his, so turn about was fair. He
was so honest! At the close of day still
there was no sigu of her, and he tried
again to walk to the shore, but the In
jured ankle would not stand the
strain, and he was forced to sit and
wait.
Night canto, but she did not return.
On bis hands and knees be crawled to
the beach ami called her name loudly,
with u harsh breaking in his volet*. The
cries echoed hack mockingly. The
moon went down behind the hills and
left him groping in the dusky starlight.
His hands were torn and his knees
bruised with the Jugged stones as he
dragged himself, hut ho took no heed,
calling out for the woman whom for
the first time he realized lu a dumb,
heavy way he loved.
At dawn, peering out eagerly, he saw
his boat ashore some distance up the
Island. His heart heats quickened, and
sometling warm and tender flashed
through him. How he hud missed her!
Poor lass! Perhaps she, too. missed
her home folk. Well, the work was
nearly done, and frost would soon hind
the river, and then he would drive her
to the town and lake her to the fair;
yes, and buy her a warm, red hood and
ribbons. He laughed out loud as he
drugged himself to the house, thinking
of her pleasure. She must have re
turned some time buek. The boat was
well up on the beach where hours ago
had Im’ou the tide. She was home and
doubtless wondering where lie was.
She had staid out to give him a hit of
a frlgh 1 : and had slipped in when he
hud gone to search for her, dear lass!
He reached the cottage. The door
stood open, staring vacantly at him;
tin* fire was out, and the gusty wind
had scattered the light pine ash hie
powder. She was not there. Doubt
grew in bis heart as slowly he dragged
himself buck to the shore—to the boat.
Was she dead? A bitterness gnawed
hjip- Hungrily he gazed at the waves
which had taken Jkt from him. He
D umbled like an old HUG* I’phbed, us
tears splashed his face,
At last he reached the boat. In the
bottom was a piece of cellar chip tied
to Iter handkerchief. Leaping at it
fiercely, he grasped It with shaking
hand. Then he rolled up his eyes, his
lingers fumbling with the knot, his lips
Uiawii while. Scrawled on the chip
With i» pencil was a message: “I've
gone for good. Von were kind, but I
could not abide you or the country.
I’ve gone with one as will take me all
over the world.”
Wi(h his mouth working tensely he
started to drag himself back. His
brain was Hying high up and down
again. Darting lights played before
his eyes. The whirling ground leaped
away from him. Crawling ou, he
reached the door, where, down tut all
fours, like a dog, he Hung up his head
and looked around the rooms wildly.
Everything in them spoke with a trum
pet voice of her. lie let his head fall
on the sill. Then a groan came heavily
from bis lips, and he was calm.
The next week a new captain came
on the river steamer.
The birds Hying across the river on
their way to the south saw n woman,
dressed gaudily and in vulgar fashion,
making her way from the landing to
the little house on Vance’s island. At
the door a gaunt man watched her.
Willi a dazed stumbling be walked
forth a little way to meet her.
“1 have come back after these years,”
site said, looking up to the little home,
which, small and poor as it was, seem
ed to bold out hope of peace to her.
But he said nothing, only staring at
her with eyes in which burned a faint
spark. Once he shivered at the croak
ing notes lu her voice.
Into the house she followed him dog
gedly. She picked tip her duties where
she had left them years before, touch
ing a chair here ami moving something
there. She took a broom and fell to
sweeping feverishly, until she Hung it
down contemptuously and sank iuto a
chair with a gasp. He had watched
her silently with slow burning eyes.
“Why don’t you speak?” she cried.
Her rising voice was hard and crac
kling. There was a Haunt on her lips.
Her hands on her hips conveyed au in
solence of boldness.
“I have come back to you In kind
ness.” she said, her tones going higher
ind her voice growing more rasping.
“ T know the worth of a woman like
L . When my captain tiled, I could
have had many a fair chance, but I
thought of you, and somehow I wanted
to come here. Aren’t you going to
make up?” she cried angrily.
<!od, what a difference in those
ye; rs! IIis lips pressed together stern
ly.
“Why don't you speak?” she scream
ed. “How dare you treat me like—
like’ — Site paused and then laughed
with her brazen notes.
Bin the dancing lights were In bis
brain again and before his eyes and
around him a boiling fiatnc that roared.
The room was whirling. He saw it all
streak d and spangled with fierce color
—the Poor, the chairs, the flat stove,
the utensils of tin. and among them her
face, the lips leering, the eyes staring.
Staggering to his feet, he groped with
his anus. His hands clutched at some
thing sof and warm that yielded under
his contracting lingers. They closed
tightly, gripping hard to stop the whirl
ing of the earth. The flame shot up
madly, and, blinded in the dark, he fell,
lying stretched ou the floor.
*•*•*••
Years later, the upper end of the Is
land settled, pity still endured among
the people for the lonely man who liv
ed on the lower end. They told stran
gers touching there of the young wife
whom he bad ntver seen from the day
she ran away with the captain of the
river steamer and he was left to his
solitude. No one knew the whole until
a young fanner wont to ask aid of the
old man at the lurrvcstlng. No re
sponse coming to his knocks, he lifted
the latch and entered. The old man
was half kneeling against a chair, his
dead eyes thrust out iu their sockets.
Before him, where the plunks of the
floor were torn up, were lying the
bones and skull of a woman.—New

A Home Gnard.
The grosbeak is a pugnacious fellow
with birds of bis own sizo, but ho never
troubles the smaller ones. A good many
birds found the nest from time to time,
and, birdlike, stopped to gratify their
curiosity concerning it. A iittlo snug
sparrow, who had lost his tail feathers,
and who led a sort of bachelor exist
ence in tho greasowood all the spring
time, used to sit aud sing close beside
tho nest. So persistently did be flit
about that I came to regard him as a
friend of the family, but tho grosbeak
never molested him. Once when a saucy
little tbistlebird (Lawrence’s goldfinch)
alighted close by tho nest aud peered iu
the head of tho house flew down with a
warning “tsip,” but made no further
dumoustratiou.
Ouo morning, however, a male oriole
came down into tho greasowood aud
seemed disposed to remain. It was one
of tho occasions when the mother bird
was ou tho nest. &iio half arose and ut
tered a little whistle, their common
cal), and her mate was ou the scone iu
a hurry, all ready to do battle. The
mules seemed pretty fairly matched, but
the oriole is not a malicious bird, and
the intruder withdrew. Once the gros
beak with half a dozen orioles aud
flitches made common cause against a
California jty that had apparently at
tempted to raid the nest of one of the
little birds. Tho jay is a thief aud a
coward always, aud this marauder re
ceived bitter punishment at the bills of

An Kvlilencu That Negro Education
Is Knvored In tils Sou ill.
New York, June 19 —The American
Missionary society, through its secre
tary, Dr. A. E. Berd, is iu receipt of re
ports from many of ns educational in
stitutions in tho south, especially those
iu Georgia and South Carolina, show
ing au iucroasLng disposition ou tho
part of tho whites to attend the com
mencement exercises of the various
schools of tho higher grades for blacks,
buch attendance has been made by
business men, school committees aud
teachers of the whites and public ofli-
cials, who have expressed sentiments
favorable to the idea that the good and
substantial elements of both sides m
tho south have identical interests in
maintaining law and order aud all that
appertains to the good of society, tho
church and ihe government; that good
citizenship can he obtained and ex
emplified only by a people industrious,
moral aud iutelhgout; that no race
troubles have been or will bo traceable
to the schools of tho association, con
ducted as thoy are.
Attendance ou these commencement
exercises, it has been said, is au earnest
of white sympathy with tho education
of the negroes.
These facts are said to he of special
interest to Cougregatioualists, because
it was iu one of their assemblies in Bos
ton Governor Nortkcu recently dis
cussed the race question, and thoy show
that there is a southern sentiment dif-
'ereut from that which indulges iu race
conflicts and iu lynching.
TO CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
If Otis Intimates That He Needs More
>I<-n McKbilcy Will Act,
New York, Juno 19.—A Washington
correspondent of The Herald quotes an
influential member of the cabinet as
making the following statement:
"The slightest intimation from General
Otis that he wants more troops iu addi-
lion to those he now has with him and
those who are to he sent to him under
the recent order, will he followed by a
prompt call for volunteers. There will
be no further parleying with Agniualdo
and his followers and no letup in the
aggressive campaign which General
Otis is couductiug.
“The pres.deut stands ready to call
for as many volunteers as will he neces
sary to subdue the Filipinos aud there
is every reason to believe that he can
secure without delay all the volunteers
he may call for. This is the true situa
tion so far as the administratiou is con
cerned aud it is unfair and unjust to
charge the president with u want of ag
gressiveness iu dealing with this sub
ject.’’
MODUS VIVENDI REACHED.
No Truth In a Story I’liat Canada Had
Scut an Ultimatum.
London, June 10 —The officials of the
colouiul office today were shown a dis
patch from Washington saying that
Canada had served notice on Great
Britain that she mast choose between
the United States and her North Amer
ican dominion in the settlement of the
Alaskan boundary dispute.
They declared that the story is wrong
both iu substance aud fact, aud that it
can bo further reaffirmed that a mydus
vivendl was reached early last week, as
cabled to the Associated Press at the
time. The arrangement, which is a
verbal one, deals with it on broad lines.
Oue or two minor details are still un
der discussion and when they are set
tled a final arrangement will he drawn
up.
Generally sneaking it may be said
that the boundary agreed upon follows
the summits of the White and Chilcoot
passes.

Would Not NufTi-r So AkuIii for Fifty Tlim-a
It* Price.
I awoke last night with severe
pains in my stomach. I never felt
so badly in all my life. When I
came down to work this morning I
felt so weak I could hardly work. I
went to Miller <fc McCurdy’s drug
store and they recomended Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. It worked like magic and
one dose fixed me all right. It cer
tainly is the finest thing I ever used
for stomach trouble. I shall not be
without it in my home hereafter, for
I should not cure to endure the suff
erings of last night again for fifty
times its price.—CL H. Wilson, Liv
eryman, Burgettstown, Washington
Co., Pa. This remedy is for sale by
Cherokee Drug Company.
