DOV/N IN THE DU3T,
Ia It worth while that wo jostle a brother
Bearing his load on the rough road of life?
Is it worth while that we jeer at eaeh other
la blaekness of heart? that we war to the
knife?
God pity us all in our pitiful strife.
God pity us all as wo jostle each other
God pardon us all for the triumph we fo?l
When a fellow goes down 'ueath hi- loa I ou
the heather
Picreed to the heart, words are keener
than .-tool.
And mightier fur for woo < r weal.
Were 11 not well, in this brief littio journey,
On ovor the isthmus, <lown into the tide, j
Wo give him u llsh instead of a serpent.
Ere folding tho hands to In* and abide
Forever and aye in tho dust at Ins side?
Look at tho roses saluting each other:
Look at the herdsallat peaeeoutho plain ?
Man, and man only, makes war on his
brother,
And laughs in his heart at his poril and
pain,
Shamed by tho beasts that go down u the
plain.
Is it worth while that we battle to humid'
Some poor fellow soldier down tut the
dust?
God pity us all' Time nit s. on will ';:r. ?io j

Theodora was
busy making |
l>ear martuAw\ilade,
with a
, ? pocket-hand
kerchief fastened, Beatrice Ceuci fashion,over
her luxuriant brown, tresses, a
huge cheeked aprou. enveloping her
trim little figure, and sleeves rolied
up above the elbow.
Deacon Towers stood opposite,
nervously feeling of his bristly chin.
Theodora was young and pretty,
with limpid, hazel eyes, rings of
brown hair straying like tloss-silk over
her temples, and rosy litis.
Deacon Towers was elderly and
wrinkled, with an indescribable sharpness
in his face, as if it had worn away
in contact with the world.
"It's getting to bean imposition,"
said Theodora, brusquely. <4Last

There was something in his air and
manner which caused the deacon to
shoot out of the kitchen like au arrow
from the bow, nud the next moment
Theodora was alone.
She colored and bit her lip.
"It's all true," she said, "every
word of it. But I'm a little sorry he
heard it. Perhaps he wasn't to blame,
after all."
And Theodora went vigorously on
with the pear marmalade, until the
old clock in the corner struck eleven,
and thon she poured out a cup ol
chocolate aud ran up stairs to her
father's room.
Mr. Reed sat before his study-table,
with his temples resting on his hands,
his elbows among the chaos of books
and papers. Thoo went to his side at j
once and laid her hand on his head.
"Papa," she said wistfully, "is j
your neuralgia worse?"
"Very much worse, Theo," ho said, j
lifting his pain-glazed eves to her '
eager, questioning young taco. "1
do uot believe that I eau preach to !
morrow; I do not believe that 1 eau >
ever prepare a sermon."
Theodora looked aghast
"But, papa," said she, "what oni !
you do? Old Doctor Denton is out ?.
town, and?"
"My dear," said the poor clergy- !
man, pressing his hands to his throbbing
temples, "you must send a note
to Mr. Hervey, aud ask hiui to otliciaU
iu my place, as a special favor."
"Who is Mr. Hervey?'* said Theodora.
"I don't know," sighed Mr. Reed.
"I only know that he was to be at
Windfield this week. Most probably
he will be at the Star Hotel."
"Very well, papa, ' said Theodora, j
feigning a cheerfulness that she was
very far from feeling. "Drink your
chocolate, now ; there's a darling, and
iou't fret yourself the least bit in the i
world, and I will see that all arrange
meuts are made."
So she ran do vn stairs and set herool

A substitute must be fouuil for the

She sat down nuil wrote a little uote,
consulting the dictionary more thau
ouce to make sure of no errors, mi l ,
carefully copying the whole, because
of a spattering little blot which fell,
as if "< f malice aforesaid," directly
across the second line.

And after satisfying hers-If tha* it
was all quite right, -he e.i-ried it herself
to the Star Hotel.
Mr. Hervey was u d in ; ha ln't been
in since morning.
But they would give iiim the note
directly oi his arrival: so Theodora
hurried home again, an 1 in the c >urse
of the afternoon n boy from the hotel
brought a car 1, on om .side of which
was engraved "Henry Hervov," while
upon the other was written the words,
"With t ie greatest pleasure."

"Oh, my tonpfur?niy tin! tek.

self. "I always know it would load
me into trouble! What must Uo have j
thought?"
And, as may be inferred, Theodora's
devotions?albeit she was in reality a
sweet, sincere little Christiau?did not
do her much good that uiormug.
Mr. Hervey came across into the
parsonage when the sermou was over,
and held out his hand to blushing
Theodora.
"We meet again," said he, with a
smile.
"I can't help it!" burst out Thoodora,
in desperation. "I meant every
word I said, Mr. Ilervey. It was all
true, but?but it didn't apply to you.'
"I understand," he said, quietly.
"I was a little nettled at the moment, i
fcr I merely wished for a temporary |
shelter while thoy were refurnishing
my room at the Star Hotel. But I can
easily see, now that I have thought
the matter over iu a new light, that a
minister's family must l:e sadly pestered
with voluuteer giie-d*. Pray
think uo more of it, Mt.-s Heed."
autly that Theo became ?pute at hoi
ease, while he carved the chicken au t
she prepared the crisp lettuce au.i
limpid oil for the salad.
He was taken up to Mr. Hood's sick
room after dinner. and ha I a p'.easaut
chat before the afternoon service.
"Yon have done me a great favor,
sir." said the elder clergyman, when
at length he parted from his guest.
"And we should esteem it a privilege
? my little girl and 1 ? if you would
make your home at the parsonage during
your stay in town. Should -we
uot, Theo?"
i
Theodora hung dewu her head and
turned pink to the very roots of her
hair.
"Yes, ' she said, almost inaudibly.
"Only?I am ashamed to -ay so?oh,
papa," hiding her face on hi- shoulder,
"1 have behaved so badly! I novel
should have taken it for granted that
Mr. Horvey was like the rest."
And then, intinitelv to Mr. H.-rvov'
amusement, she told the whole story
of her interview with Deacon Powers. I
Mr. ReedsmileJ as he stroked Theo'.*
head.
"My little girl is only a little girl,"
said he, "ami sometimes forgets that
the tongue - an unruly member. But 1
she will implore as she grows older.
Mr. Hervey spent the summer at
Wintiehl. lie was revising the proofsheets
of a theological volume, and
liked the quiet and 'seclusion of the
little village.
Perhaps, too, he liked something
about it. At all events. alt h jugh
a? did not make the parsonage hi
home, he spent a great deal of his
time there.
"Theo," he saia, on" day?they un 1

"you have tested so muuy o: ti.e

I don't believe that the moat senaiblo woman

they do a tar off. Woman serins t<> bo built that
way and I leckon she can't help it. The meu

do auy good. Some say that the ?U v.l in at the

to catch tliein. hut I don't bolieve it. I've noticed
my it-male folks nuking these big sleeves
aud 1 know they have ha I no bad effect on
them. Tuey go to church ail the same, anil to
the luustonaty meeting, an l the Sunday achool
and s ug in the choir, uud arc just as kind and
iudu*trious at home as they ever were- Now
the tug sleeves were really r.ght pretty and becoming
until they swello t them out of all rea- ,
eon. and now they mo horrid. For about a

ti r titan for many years before It lit bur person
and showed the grace of her form and
movement, but this balloon sleeve busitess is
def u uiing lur some. I don't think it will last
long. But I will compromise on most any
ta-lr.ou except hoop skins. I uever waa re- i

Affecting the Population ut the State
Prison.
The introduction of the chaiu gang
system into this State is greatly ufleeting
the population of the State peuiteutiary.
Though only some counties
yet have the gangs, and those few had
theiu only a short time, the population
of the State prison has already beeu
reduced by more than one hundred.
The penitentiary now has within its
walls, ou the farms and elsew here, a
total of 1,100 convicts. The judges are
now seuteucing all the short term convicts
to service on the chaiu gaugs.and
the deoeipts of prisoners at the prison
has fallen oft" greatly, while the disI
charges continue the same as herej
tofore.
