T / t ^ ~[E was a fitatwart Ilf young farmer, a jll grandly built mat], U I — with a handsome, r —1 bronzed face; broad c s h o u l d e r s , feet ' which stood square ly upon the earth, aud a pair of fuar- _______ less ejreH. Frank Maxwell, aged twonty-tive, owner of broad acres, n physical frame iu pur- feet condition aud a well developed mind, was a man lo be envied. She waa a dainty maiden, with n graceful figure, a complexion ol mingled roses and lilies and oyos as bright and blue as tho summer skies. Daisy HpriogSeld, aged nineteen, owner of a beautiful faec, a glad hearted, sunny disposition and count-' lesa pretty dresses, was a woman to bo loved I t was something less than a mnu, b a t more than an animal, with a face of a a tjr-liko hidcousDcss, a misshapen back, bowed legs and a pair of arms ■o long that the hands hung low like those of a gorilla. ‘Dumb Dick, nf age unknown, owner of a half w itted mind, a body of abnormal s trength and ugliness and a fierce aud ungov ernable temper, was a creature to be shunned and Jiatruatcd. Those wero tho invariable judgments ^lof everybody who know tho tbrco characters of this little story. Frank waa an orphan, living on his own farm, understanding his business and capable ol conducting it in a thoroughly cfllcieut m a n n e r; just the sort of man who would bo likely to out a very respectable figure in (he world and end by leaving bis children more money and more acres than his father bad loft him. Daisy was the only daughter of a prosperous lawyer, a littlo inclined to bo vain of her good looks, but good by nature and thoroughly pure- heart ed ; just the sort of woman to make an affeotionate wife, careful of her home, a comfort to her husbuud aud a friend to her children. Dumb Diok was presumably tlio or phan child of ngypsy woman, who had brought him long yours ago to the Workhouse and had died tlioro. He was wild and unmanageable, bud run away and refused all control, and lived where and how lie could. Frank and Dnisy stood together in tbe path ot a little wood. Dumb Dick was also in tbe wood, hut was hidden hJ . a thick vcreen of bnzelM. Frank and Daisy faced each o ther, ntul Frank held both of DiUhv’h little white hands in one of bin brown pnltnn. Dumb Diok, all unseen, clenched Ins flat and ground his teeth iu lury, crum pling up his face into the new ugliness of mingled rage and misery. The little woud was very still, save for a slight rustling among tho dry leaves, or tlje crack of a twig bcueath the swift f<iot of n squirrel, or tho oc casional fall of a ripe nut. Aud iu the aileneo aud tho shallow Frank bent forward aud kissed Daisy lightly on tbe lips. Then tho lovors walked away to gether, band iu hand, like a pair of happy ohildreu And all alouo l-chiud bis screen of hazels, Dumb Dick flung himself down , at full length, olaw’ng at tho brown earth with his hands and giving vent to bis feelings in inarticulate grow Is of rsgo and dry choking sobs of misery. Frank bought u new dog ourt, a light and delicate turnout of tlio latest j at- tern, painted black and picked out with rod, and with its polished lamps and new silver plated harness aud its bright bay, it looked rather a smart and thowy affair. He drove it roiiud in trium p h to Squire Springfield's, and h!« p ride redoubled wheu lie m* Daisy’, delight. Hut wheu lie had bauded her in, dressed in her latest and prettiest costume, and had sprung ligbfl? np to his place beside her, hu felt that Lis pride and happiness wore alm oit complete. He gathered up the reins, clicked eueouragingly to the hay, and off they went, bowling along tho lanea m splen did style, laughing aud chatting as only a happy pair of lovers can when tbe oonrae of their love is smooth and prosperous The first alight chili of autumn was in the a ir ; the hedgerows were b rown ing, and the perfume of the dow n s had given plaeo to a faint secnt of dc- eay, but it was summer in the hearts of the lovers, aud iu the selllshness ot thair bliss they were heedless of the Daisy sprang to the ground, and, timidly approaching tho spot where Dumb Dick stood, she laid her h\nd upon his wounded wrist. It wa* as cool, and white as n snowffake upon the hot, haity h a n d '. and he at onco surrendered to her will. Showing no sign of fear or disgust, but with only tender pity in her glauoe, Daisy exam ined tho great band, knotted and clawed like the paw of u wild beast. >Sho saw that, light though tho wheel of tbo dogcart was, its iron tire had cut tho flesh nearly to tho bone, and, taking tho whito silk scurf from her neck, she deftly bound it round tho wounded wrist and stopped the bleed ing. By this time Frank was standing by her side. \This isn't work for you. my dar ling,” ho said; \let him go to tho nearest doctor. Hers, Diok,\ he added, \sco how soon thiswill heal your cut. ” As ho spoke he tossed half a sovcrign on the ground at Dnmli Dick's feet, slipped/his hand through Daisy's arm and dexterously lifted her back into her scat. In another moment tho cart had boon driven away. Dumb Dick watched it until it was hidden from view, and then hostoopod and picked up 'Frank’s half sovereign. Tbcro was a sudden flash of light and a tiny disc of gold went singing through tho air in tho direction of the wood. Dumb Dick’s next act was to tear Daisy's white scarf from his wrist, and then ho walkod away along tho road, marking his truck with blood. The fiery finger marks of autnm n no longer lit up tho faded foliage of tho littlo wood; oniy a few brown leaves clung tu tho skeleton branches of tho tro.-:-| tbo rest lay in rotting heaps arotiud the roots, fitting grave- clothes for tho dying ferns, till the chills blasts should ariso again and scatter them abroad. Approaching the sumo spot along widoly diverging paths eaino two figures, the one tripping lightly and the othor sloughing ulong with slow, limping strides. Though the method of thoir advance was so different, tho rate of their progress was about equal, and tboy mot just at tbo puint where tbe twu paths formed a junction with tbo main road. Daisy, who had all along had her eves fixed upon tlio last visible point of tlio steeply sloping main road, looked up when She heard the ihnlHiug footsteps, aud, w ithabtart, recognized Dumb Dick. Dumb Diok, who h a l seen aud known tho first flutter of Daisy’s drosB in tho distance, now halted ; and his rod eyes peered out strangely from the taugled m a s s e s of h a i r which hung over h i s face. Daisy knew that Dumb Dick was feared aud Bhuuued by ovorybody, aud alio was not it little startled at fiuding herself nlono with him. SUo wishod ho would pass h e r ; but ho stood quito still, aud socmcd waiting for her to speak. “ Is vour hand better, Dick?\ sko askod, touching her own w rist.” He seemed to understand, for he thrust his hand clumsily forward. An ugly, deformed aud much knotted baud it was, but, to her surprise, Daisy noticed that it was uow quite clean, au d its great clawliko nails had been closely cut. Dumb Dick pointed to a purple sear on his wrist with the linger of his other hand, and Daisy saw that this other finger W 119 both dirty ami clawed. She looked back lit Dumb Dick's hliukingrcd eyes and smile.I. Asinglii glauoe nt that one eiean band, mis shapen uud ugly though it was, hud driven nil fear from her henrt. It was ns if the wing of Ariel had suddenly sprouted from the shoulder of Caliban, and Miranda felt a strange tbrob ol joy, for her woman's instinct told her that sku had somo mysterious part in bringing the first sign of order into this humuu chaos. But hark ! the sound of a wildly g a l loping horso and tho swift roll ot wheels I Daisy looked up the steep inclino ot tho road, and saw that Frank and his dogcart wore iu Bight. But no smilo of joyful w e lco m e appeared ou hor face; she turned as palo as death, clasped her bauds iu an involuntary attitudo ol prayer, -and cried out sharply in her deadly fear. For hor first glimpse of Frank had shown her that lie ivns standing u p iu his cart, swaying to an.I tro, and that a lthough lie still held the tightly gathered reius, he had lost all control of tho bay, whieh seemed to bo rushing to inevit able destruction. Dumb Dick saw Frank's peril, and understood iu au instant tbe catass tropbc which must occur at the bot-1 torn of tho h i ll ; aud, ilingiug his long arms wildly above his head, he bro^o forth'into a hideous eaekle of laugh ter. A new terror seized upon Daisy’s heart at the sound, but, with it a new thought entered her mind, and, w ith out hesitation, she hud her bandt? upon Dumb Dick's arm aud shook it fiercely. \ S a v e h im , D i c k !

It is hardly possible, says that clever journal—tho Lady’s P ictorial—to r e a l ize that Queen Victoria has a great grandchild who is approaching m ar riageable age. Wo hear so little of tho eldest daughter of tho Empross Frederick, that she seems to bo tho least known member of tho royal fam ily, and it is small wonder, therefore, that her daughter has been growing up unnoticed by the English peoplo. d o l l a r s a r e a s k e d fo r .

T h is beautiful sj'irit ot Jo h n whieh sticks nothing for self, but aim s only to m a g nify the L o rd, is very m u ch to be d e sired and is w ithin o u r reach, for it is the Spirit < X Christ H im self, who never sought His own will nor H is own glory (John v., 30; vi.. 38; vlli.,50). He is ready to till us w ith His Spirit ( L u k e x i., 18), a n d He will when we a r e r e a d v by His grace to live His life -II Cor. iv., 10,11). 17. “ Wlmse fan is in His hand, and !!•« will th o roughly purge His floor and will g a th e r th e w h eat into His g a rner, but the chaff He will burn w ith Ur-) u n q u e n c h a b le.” T h e baptism of Israel with th e H o ly sp irit and w ith 'Are will be a t tho harvest tim e , tho end of lids ago (M ath, xiii., 40-43; Isa. xliv., 3; Mai. iii., 2), but individual believers m ay au d s h o u ld be filled with the Spirit now , a n d they m ay also know som e w h a t • *f th e ex p e rience of lire, for there is m uch dross in us to be consum e d . The unquenchable lire is. how ever, the same as the Lord H im self referred to iu M ark ix., 43-48; Math. xiii.. 12. Sco a lso Rev. xiv., 9-11. 18. “ And m a n y other tilings iu his exhor tatio n preached lie uuto the people.” In John iii., 26-3G. we find that, am o n g th e o th e r things, Jo h n preached th a t Jesus 1 * the Son of God (see also chapter i.. 341; that He was sent of G o d ; that He s p a k e the w ords of God: th a t whosoever receives tie* Son hath life, blit he that receives not tin* K >11 hath no life, but abides under th \ w rath of God; th a t a m an ’an receive m inin g it be given him from heaven, aud th a t it is a great honor to be n friend of the Bridg* - groom , even of Jesus Christ. Elsew h e re H\ tau g h t t h a t repentance is nothing unless it is proved to be real Ly works corresponding thereto. W« m a y listen to preaching i- sound and C h rist honoring as th a t of John, Lilt we read t h a t even tin* word of God will not profit those who hear it unless they I* - lieve it (Hob. iv., 2). 19. “ But H e rod, the tetrarcli. being re proved by him for H e redias, his brother P h ilip 's wife, and for all tho evils which H erod had d o n e .” The partieuY.irs of this will be found in Mark vi., 17-20, w h e re it is also w ritten th a t Herod believed J o h n to bo a just an d holy man. heard him gladly mid did m any things. Some would say. therefore, th a t Jo h u m ight have done m ore for Herod if lie hud kept his favor a n d beeu gentle w ith him and uot rebuked bts s,illf tMit tlio tru e s e r v a n t of God has no thought of pleas- ing m en s > as 1\ keep their favor, even though they be a* great a- llerod (Gal.

O u r one and coustant aim must bo to please Him who has g i\e u us so great a tru s t as His gospel ( i i riiesa. ii., •!.). 20. “ Added yet this above a l l —th a t h«» shu t up Jo h n in prison.” This was no new experience F>r n prophot of the L o rd, a* a king of.Judnh put H auani iu prison becnu-e of th e L o rd's m essage through him . Mi- eniah was s m itten, put in prisou aud fed on bread and w a ter because he was faithful to God. Jerem iah also was sm itten and im prisoned iu th u d n n g o n ( II ChroD. xvi., 10; xviii., 23, 2G; Jor. xxxvil., 15). The Lord Jesus toid His apostle* very plainly th a t they musf not fear tribulation, im p r is o n m ent oreven death (John xvi.. 1. 2. 33bdt'*^> II., 10; M a th. x.. 28). Iu Jm>. v.,10, we read that Ihe prophets are to us au exam p le of -uffering, affliction and of patience, and in II Pet. ii., 21-23, our Lord Himself is spoken of as o u r exam p le in these things. 21. “ Now, when nil th e people were bap- . lized, it cam e to pass that, Jesus nlfto being baptized and praying, the heaven was opened.” L u k e is the only oue who speaks of J e s u s praying at His baptism . He spent mm'li tim e I n prayer. How can we do Hi- w o rk- w ithout it.
