Tz=: "Behold the fire and the wood but where is the laab''--G.-nesis xx-*,, 7. Here are Abraham and Iiaac, the one I kind, old. gracious, affcctionate father, t1 other a brave. obedient, reiigious son. Fron his bronzed appearanco you can tell 'ha this son has been much in the feld, an from his shagy dress you knov: that h has been watehing the herds. Tio mount ain eir has paited. his cheek rubicund. H is txenty or twentyj-five or, as some sup pose, thirty-three years of age. neverthe less a boy, considering the length of life t< which peonie lived iu those times and thi fact th:t a son nevcr is any!hin- but a bol o a fathrr. I rwmember that my fathei used to come into the h"e% when the chil dren were home on some festal occasioy and say, "Where are the boys?'" althoug "the boys" were tweniv-five and thirty and thirty-ivc years of age. So this Isam. i: only a by .to Abraham. and this father': heart is in him. It is Isaac here and Isaa' there. If there is any festivity around thi fathor's tent, Isaac must enjoy it. It i4 I- aac's walk, and Isaao's appar;l. ani manners. and Isaa!s prospects, and Isaac' prosperity. The father's heartstrings are all wrapped around that boy and wrapped again, until nine-tenths of the old man'. ife is in Isaac. I can just imagine hov, lovingly and proudly ho looked at his c-n1j son. Well, the dear old man ha i borne a great deal of trouble, and it had left its marl upon him. In hverogiyphi s of wrinklc the story was written fro:n inaead to chin, But now his trouble seems a! gone,. and we are glad that he is very soon to rest forever, I the old man shal get !f-crepit, Isaac I! strong enough to wait on him. If the fathe: get dim of eyesight. Isaa? will lead him b3 d the hand. If the father become destitut( y Isaac will earn him brearl How glad wT t I are that the sbin that has been in such a e stormy sea Is coming at lnst into theharbor Are you not rejoiced that gIrious old Abra ham'is through T-ith his trouble? No, no: A thunderbolt! Froni that cleat easter sky there drops into that father's tent s voice with an announcement enough to turt black hair white and to stumn the natriarch int instant annihilation. Godsaid, 'Abrahan! The old man answereJ. "Here I ar:.." Gad said to him. Take thy son, thy only sor Isaac. whom thzmio's-. and get thee int; the laa of Moriah and offer him there as a burnt offering." In h''-r words. slay him; cut his bthy to fragmats; put rh a fra meni on wood; s-2 fire 1. the wo:-l and lei Isaac's body be cons"ue.1 to ashes. "Cannibalism! Ml er" says some one. "Not so." said Abraham. I hear hi siilo quize: "Here is the boy on whom I have de pended:' Oh. hcw I loved him! H.j we given in answer to prayer, and now must ] surrender him? 0 Isaae-, my son! Isaa. hoii shall 1 nart with you? But then it is alway. safer t~do as God asks me to. I have beer in dark places beforp, and Go-. got me out. I will fimplicitly do as God ha- told me, althongh it is very dark. I can't see m) way, but I know God makes no mistales, an. to Him I commit myself and my darlinc son." Early in the morning there is a ti: aroun' Abraham's tent. A beast of burden ; fe and saldled. Abraham makes nodics o. the awful secret. At the break o da ht sayt: "Come, come. IsU ) : up We. ar going off on a two or thr, . days journe" I hear the ax hewing and :-:plttiU amid 'ih' wood until the sticks a1 mae0 th. rit" length and tho right thiekuess an-1 the thev are fas ened on the beast ft rden They pas on, There nre four of them Abraham, the father: Isa'. the ron. and Itwto servants. Going aliw.: the roa-l I se' Isaac looking up into his father's face and say'ing: "Father, what is tihe matter? Ar' you not well-: Has anything happened? Are y,ou tireu? Lean on ray arm." Then, turn ing around to the servants. the son says ''Ah, father is getting old,. and he has har trouble enough in other days to kill him!" 'The third morning has come, and it is the day oi the tragedy, The tw:o servants art left with the beast cf buerden. while Abra - am and his son Isaac. 2:s was the custom o Igood people in tholie times, went up on the hill to sacrifiee to the Lord The'i wood i: taken off the beast's baL:t and flut on Isaaem hack. Abraham has i.: one Iannd a pan o -coal- or a lamp and in the other a sharp .keen knife. H"re are all the appliances fo: Isacriflc, yous say. No, there is one thint w-anting. There is no victim--no 'pigeon e1 heier cr ilamb. Isaae, not knowing that h' ito be th'e victim, looks un! ito his father' face and asks a question which mnust have Cu i.he old man to the bone, SIy father!' The 'ather saidl. "My s,on, Isaac. here I ta. ''l'hm son said . Beholdl the fire and the wood. bu1 ered, and his heart fainted. and his knee: knocked togethar, and hi.s entire body. mmi and soul shiver in sickeniug anguish as b( strr.ggles to gain equipoise, for he dl"s no wa.nt to break down. And then he look: ato his son's face with a thousand ruthina tendernesses and says. "My son. God Iil provide Himself a lamnb.' The twain are now at the foot of the'hbill the place which is to be famous for a most transcendent occurrence. They gather -: I tones out of the field and bild~ an a'tro Sthree or four feet high. Thn nthey take ihi Iwood off Isaac's back and sprinkle it ove the stones, soas to help and invitethe filame The altaris done--it is all done. Isa'. has helped to build it. With his fathr heha 1discussed whether the to.p of the table oven andl whether t wood Is po-riy pre' 1par.3 Then ithe: is a la-. Th i' *r~ looks around to see' if there is nt' sc::o liv. ing animal that can be caught. and butocret f'' toe 'offering. Abraham tries t'o chn down his fatheriy feelin:.s and suppress hi: - rief in order that hu may break to his~ SOt .the terrif"e news that helms tolbe the victim. Ah, Isaac never looked more leautifu than on that d.ay to his father. As~ the oh mnan ran h.is emnaciatel fingers through hib o-n's hairhe said to himnsef: "How sheal.l -give him up? What will his mother sa' when .I come back without my boy? thought he would have been the comfort o my declir.ing days. 1 thought he wouli have been the hope of ages to come. liau tiful and loving, and yet to die under ma: own hand. 0 God, is there not some o,the. Isacrifice that will do? Take my life an. spare his! Pour out my bleed and save Isaac for his mother and the world!" But this was an inward struggle. The fathem controls his feelings and looks into his son'i fac.e and says, "Isaae, must I tell you all?' Ris son said: 'Yes, father; I thought you had something on your mind. Tell it." The father said. "My son, Isaac. thou art the amb!"' "'Oh." youay, "why didn't tha yugman, ihewstwenty orthirty year of age, smite into the dust his infirm father He could have none it." Ab, Isaac knew b: this time that the scene was typical of Messiah who was to come, and so he made no struggle. They fell on each ether's necki end wailed out the parting.

N. Y a00ot of @A In L uvabng Pi 0al ADOLVI Pigeon Flight From Eifel Tower. Lately a great pigeon flight was or ganized in France, the Eiffel Tower being selected as the point of de parture. The pigeons were drawn not only from distant parts of France, but also from Belgium. The time of tlight and the time of arrival at home viero duly noted, with certain interesting rebults regarding the rate of progres sion. Thus, one pigeon flew ten miles at the rate of forty-seven miles per hour. This was a high rate, and may be classified with a flight of 264 miles at forty-three miles an hour. These rates are low when compared with the records of previous flights. Thus, a distance of 600 miles has been cov ered by a pigeon in twelve hours. From Blois to Dijon is a distance of 200 miles, and this has been accom plished by a pigeon in four hours and forty-six minutes. Higher rates than even sixty miles an hour have been chronicled. ie-'aaa 11")s an abzC*Sea?Q~ The Greatest fledical Discovery of the Age.
