I thought I could not endure it, yet how could I avoid it? There was only one way w ithout danger of discovery; a step into the hall, and those spiral stairs would take me to the housetop —to the observatory. W aiting until I was sure the way was clear, I stepped softly into the hall, and, ascending the stairs, though with much difficulty, I was soon en joying the forbidden pleasure of breathing the free air, untainted with the fumes of the nauseous drugs that had been dealt out to me with an u n sparing hand all through the Jong, cold winter. How exhilarating! I wondered that I had been boused so long. I looked down upon the group of young ladies who were sporting on the lawn. Jennie Magrair was there, the daughter of my host, the only woman I ever loved, b u t I was nothing to h er. ed of Gerald Mao- Sbe knew not how f worship}) and I should keep my secret w she was the betroth' How I envied him amt- perhaps hated him a little, for I knew that he had uot won her love. She had pledged her hand to save her old father from poverty. She had consented to the saorifloe and Macburn was satisfied. Turning away I tried to banish the painful, hopeless thought that had been awakened. Adjusting tbe telescope I took a survey of the farming and woodland that stretched far away to tho east for many miles. I caught eight, of two men whom I recognized is Gerald Macburn aud John Layton. They were evidently in search of game.\ The glass was small, yet a very superior instrum e n t, and 1 could see them very plainly, notw ithstand ing the distance. I presume I should have thought uo more about them had I not known that but a few m onths before they wore bitter enemies. I wondered how tho reconciliation had been ef fected. While puzzling my brain with these thoughts I had unconsciously moved the glass to keep them within range. I saw them stop, aud I knew by their motions that they were angry. I became interested. I could see them so distinctly that I found myself listening to catch their words. I could see their lips move, and I saw Johu Layton’s clinched hands. He was evidently much excited, but he did uot offer to strike; and if one can judge by sight alone he was in clined to avoid any altercation, while Macburn appeared to seek a quarrel. For full live minutes they stood there, gesticulating vehemently. They were some distance apart, Layton all the while endeavoring to widen the apace and Macburn following him up. At last Layton, goaded beyond all endurance, wheeled a hunt and shook his fist menacingly at hie tormentor. Macburn was so exasperated at this that he raised his rifle aud shot him. I saw the poor man fall out of sight in the bushes, and I saw Macburn calmly reload his rifle and walk to ward the spot where bis victim was lying. Then 1 staggered and fell to the floor, aud all was a blank. When I awoke to consciousness I was in bed. Cloths were all about my head, and in the dim lamplight I saw a watcher by my bedside. It was my old chum, H a riy Wilmot. “ How is this?\ said I, when I real ized the situation. “ThankG o d yon are coming around again,\ said Harry; “ but it has been a hard case.aee, F r ee d ;; yonon haveave beeneen as I rou not to trv tho obeervato ill ; crawl back. At these words, what I had seen from the housetop flashed upon my m ind; but had my life depeuded upon it I could not th ru have told that it wgs not all a dream. To convince my self 1 inquired for John Layton. “ He is—no one knows where,” r e plied Harry ; \hut yon are too weak to either talk or listen.\ \No I'm not, H a rrv, tell me about it.\ He yet hesitated, but I urged him. aud he yielded. \John Layton disappeared a week ago,\ said he. “ Absconded is the bftter word, for-, he took with him quite au amount of money belonging to hie father. The old gentleman is very wroth, and has need every means to And him, but hai not succeeded. Fanny M orton—they were to be m ar ried soon, you know—is almost crazy and will not believe that advise yoi again till r r d y h b a Moon’ for a whole week. you are strong enough to rryrry outut myy “ If reasonable, yes. But couldn’t you postpone it for a day? You know the wedding comes off to-morrow.\ “ Not on hour, Harry, after sunrise you pro to c a o m directions faithfully?\ u t con Yon I Qiorrov in the morning, and it should be done to night, if it were not too late.\ \W ell, go on, Fred, and let us hear what it is.\ I did not tell him what I had seen from the housetop, for 1 did not con sider myself competent to make an accusation against any one; but I de scribed the spot where I firmly be lieved that I saw Gerald Macburn m u rder John Layton, and I requested him to take three or more companions with him—men that could be trusted —and explore tbe spot thoroughly. “ Will you promise, H a r ty '! Now, don’t say you will, and then forget it, thinking I do uot know what 1 a in talking about, for I tell you I'm not insane now. ” “ Well, Fred, I promise.\ I knew that H a rry could be de pended upon, and I felt much relieved, passing a very quiet night. Gerald M acburn was to be married at nine o’clock, and at ten they were to s tart on their wedding tour. This was why I was in such haste. If he was guilty, as I firmly believed, I wished to prevent tho marriage, or at least to a rrest him before be stepped aboard tbe train. I hardly know how I passed tbe time till H a rry’s return, I was so im patient. '* I heard the carriages of the guests drive up to the door, and I could faintly hear the busy bum of prepara tion below; and then the old town clock, striking tbe hour of eight, startled mo. Only one hour longer, and Hai had not returned. W hat if he missed the spot? I watched the hands of the little clock and for once they went too fast. I could almost see them move. Twenty —twenty-five—thirty minutes past eight, and would he never cornel Yes, thank God! I heard the gallop of a horse on the graveled road, and in a moment Harry eutered the room, flushed with excitement. “ What did you tindTiarry? Quick! Quick!\ “ T he body of J o h n Layton!\ “ I knew it, H a r r y ! I saw the deed I saw the murder. But there is no time to lose. The wretch m u st be secured before it is too late. Bring a magistrate and au officer as quick as you can.\ He was not long away, and ho brought with him the old doctor, who was also a justice, while an officer entered by tbe back door and adroitly made bis way to my room, unobserved. I made my deposition, the warrant was issued aud handed to tho officer, and he went softly down the stairs to make the arrest. He was uot a moment too soon, nor too late, and he laid his baud upon -Gerald M acburn's shoulder just in tim e to prevent Jenny M agrair from becoming the wife of a m u rderer. M acburn was tried, convicted and executed. My testimony was sufficient, for the power of the telescope was tested, proving beyond doubt that I had been an eye-wituess to the murder, though miles away from the spot. Jenny quickly recovered from the shock, and I from my sickness, aud— wo are married. ’had INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR MARCH 12.

While it is true that whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also . reap, yet we cannot judge from seeing one elek or suffering that therefore they are reaping from some sowing, for whom the Lord loveth He chastenetli, and if we en- j dure chasteuiug God dealeth with us as with sous (Heb. xii., 6, 7>. 3. \Jesus answered. Neither hath this i canto eruption had mnu sinned nor his parents, but that the 1 being swept almost bare within ft radius of works of God should bo made manifest lu two miles, houses destroyed, trees over- him .\ This mums blindness was not the turned and distorted, fields devastated result of any special sin on the part of his j and covered with stones and hlack dust, parents. This Is what our Lord says. Ho ! a large number of soldiers were om- does not say that his parents were not slu- I ployed to d e a r away tho debris. It is tin ners needing a Saviour, but lie does say possible to ascertain accurately tho nun that this affliction of having a blind sou was j bor killed, but it Is believed that no few i them, but rath a judgm ent upo n them , but ra th e r an aslon for God to be glorified. There are many nowadays who think that a blind or la mo or sickly child Is an afUlctlou upon the parents for some sin against God. 4. “ I must work the works of Him that sent Me while it Is day. The night cometh when no man can work.\ A c a rpenter wants material on which to uso his tools and show his skill, a doctor or a surgeon wants patients, and the worse or more hopeless tte case tho more credit to the physician for bringing h cure and health. Our Lord often repeats the truth that all His works are commanded by and wrought by the Father who sent Him. and more than once It Is written that as the Father sent Him so He sends us. It Is equally true that as God wrought in Him so God works in us, for while wo are commanded to work we a re also told in the same connection th a t It Is Qod that worketli in us both to will and to do. It was His hand which prepared till the good works we are to walk 5. \As long ns I am in the world I am the light of the world.\ Tills is oft repeated (chapters !., 4, 9; vlil., 12; xii.. 46). And in the Sermon on the Mount He said to His disciples, “ Ye are the light of the world.\ We must remember that the life Is the light, and the life Is that which men see and read. Words may amount to but little, but a holy life is unanswerable. Wo are certainly not equal to It. Wo caunet live the Christ life nor do His works, but if we are willing and yielded He will live the life and work the works. Paul said, “ I live, yet not I, but Christ, llveth In me.\ 6. \When He bad thusspoken, He spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.\ Sometimes He works just by a Word, sometimes by a touch and at other times as hero. He uses means, but whether by a word, a touch or other in strum entality It Is God who worketb. In the clay we have the dust of the ground and His spittle—something of earth and something of God. Is not a saved sinner just th a t - something human, something divine? And wo a re His workmanship pre pared for good works. 7. “ Ami said unto him, Go, wash In the pool of Slloam (which Is by interpretation sent). He went his way, therefore, and washed and came seeing.\ How often in this gospel does Jesus speak of Himself as sent of God.

Ferguson is the oldest mau in Eastern Indiana and possibly in the State. He has just passed his 107th b irthday. Until within this last year his mind has been as sound as his body, and he has been able to recall incidents of eighty and ninety years ago as though they had happened yesterday. This action has brought to light the fact that there are five people in Madison County who have passed the 100 year mark. Ferguson is the dean of the men, and his sister, Mrs. Bettie Caroltou, who lives near F rank lin, heads the women, with 111 years to her credit. Suintnitville claims the next distinction, presenting Thomas Wells, aged 106.

The Pharisees were so blinded by their views of their Sabbath day and so incensed by this man who paid no a ttention to their traditions that they would not listen to the man's story of his eyes being opened, and so they cost him out.
