ENTERING 1N.
The church was old and silent
With the hush before.the prayer ;
Only the solemn trembling
Of the organ stirred the air.
Without the sweet, pale sunshine;
Within, the holy calm,
Where priest and people waited
For the swelling of the psalm.
Slowly the door swung open,
And a little baby girl, E
Brown eyes, with brown hair falling
In many a wavy curl,
With soft cheeks flushing hotly,
Bly glances downward thrown,
And small hands clasped before her,
Stood in the isle alone
Stood half abashed, half frightened,
Unknowing where to go,
While like a wind rocked flower
Her form swayed to and fro;
And the changing color fluttered,
In the little troubled face,
As from side to side she waved,
With a mute imploring grace.
It was but for a moment;
What wonder that we smiled,
By such a!strange, sweet picture
From holy thoughts heghiled ?
Up, tren, rose scme on softly,
And many an eye grew dim,
As through the tender silent
He bore the child with him.
And long I wondered, losing
The sermon and the prayer,
If, when some time I enter
The many mansions fair,
And stand abashed and drooping
In the portal’s golden glow.
Our Lord will send an angel
To show me where to go!

LITTLE STAR EYES.
The beautiful valley, called by the
Indians Otzinachson, and known to us
as the West branch of the Susquehan-
na, was the last foothold in Penngylva-
nia, east of the Alleghany mountains,
that the Indians abandoned. Long
after the outposts of civilization had
advanced far up the valley red men
tarried by the graves of their ancestors.
They were loathe to leave the clear
waters of the river, incased in the
fruitful little valley that was hemmed
in by hills and mountains. Well they
knew that the time was drawing near
when inexorable fate would compel
them to tarn their backs on their old
homes and trudge toward the setting
sun, but they dreaded to make the
change.
The time came, however, when the
westward movement was almost imper-
ative. It was decided that the tribe
should migrate to the headwaters of
the stream, full fifty miles beyond the
limit of white settlement. But a few
friendly Indians, who were on the best
of terms with the whites, refused to
heed the command of the chiefs to move
westward. This bred vengeful feelings
on the part of their kindred. ,
The advance line of civilization at
this time was the mouth of Lycoming
creek, now within the limits of Wil-
liamsport. At the base of the mouu-
tain lived a young friendly Indian
named Fleet Foot, who made a fair
living by hunting and fishing, assisted
by the handiwork of his youngssquaw,
who made handsome baskets that were
sold to the settlers.
Both Fleet Foot and his wife Min-
nawaqua (Sparkling Water) were re-
markably fine types of the Indian of
those days, but they hada little pa-
poose that was a wonder and a delight
to all the whites in the sparse settle-
ments. Even the fondeet mothers ad-
mitted that he was just the sweetest
little thing they ever saw—with the
exception of their own children of
course. He had great, big, laughing
hazel eyes, half rosy cheeks, a nose
that a sculptor would have adored and
the cunningest little mouth. He was
very appropriately named Star Eyes.
Little Star Eyes was about two years
old when the tribe migrated to the new
location far up the river. Angry
threats had been made against Fleet
Foot because of his refusal to join
them, but he was happy and contented,
and Minnawaqua dreaded the thought
of leaving her white friends.
One day, shortly after the migration,
Fleet Foot was hunting in the moun-
tains, Minnawaqua left her wigwam,
a solid structure of logs which the
whites had helped to build, to go to
the spring for water. She had left
Star Eyes playing on the floor, but
when she returned in a few minutes
the child had disappeared. She hasti-
ly looked about, calling him and then
hurried out of the house to renew the
search.
She had hardly passed the door
when she suddenly stopped, turned pale
and pressed her hands to her heart.
Her keen native instinct detected
strange moccasin tracks on the ground.
They indicated the presence of four in-
dividuals, Her mind comprehended
itall as she sunk fainting to the
ground. Star Eyes had been kidnap-
ped by his kindred in revenge for Fleet
Foot’s refusal to join them, that was
evident.
There was a great commotion
among the settlers when they heard
of the dastardly act. Many of them
were eager for immediate pursuit of the
captors, but Fleet Foot dissuaded them
by saying that the Indians would sure-
ly kill the papoose if they found that
they were followed, and besides, there
would be danger of ambush by a large
party of Indians.
Aboutten days after this episode,
just before daylight in the morning
Fleet Foot and Minnawaqua were sud
kenly awakened by the voice of Star
Eyes at the door erying bitterly. In a
thrice the child was in the arms of his
overjoyed parents, but they were sur-
prised to find him tremblingly feeling
their face with his hands. What was
fhe meyers He always spoke in Eng-
ish.
“Star Eyes tant se.”
True enough, he was totally blind,
although the big, lustrous eyes looked
just as natural as on the day when he
was abducted. Fleet Foot understood
it all. The tribe had wreaked their
vengeance by blinding the innocent
Sails, and had then stealthily returned
1m,
The settlers were wild with rage
when they heard of it. Some of them
were eager for an expedition against
the Indians, but cooler counsels pre-
vailed. : NT
Among the settlers was a Quaker
family from Philadelphia who had
taken a speciul interest in Fleet Foot's
little family. Part of the Quaker fam-.
ily, including the mother, were about.
to make a journey to the city to visit
their friends, and it was suggested that,
Minnawaqua and her blind child
should accompany them, in order that
the latter's eyes might be examined by
an oculist and treated, if there was any
prospect of restoring the sight.
It. was a tedious journey in those
days, on horseback all the way to
Harrisburg, and thence by primitive:
stage coach , but it was accomplished,
and the little blind papoose was taken
to an eminent oculist. Examination
showed that the eyesjhad been blinded
by holding close to them, with the lids
opened, a very hot opject, -probably
either a red hot iron or a superheated
stone. It was not the first case known
of such Indian atrocity.
The oculist did his best to repair the
vision, but all he could accomplish
was to restore just sufficient sight for
the child to distinguish between light
and shade. He could distinguish per-
sons only by their voices.
Ten years passed and the line of set-
tlement reached farther up the valley.
The kind Quaker family moved a doz-
en miles above to the mouth of Pine
creek, and Fleet Foot with three chil-
dren in addltion to the nearly blind
boy, determined to move westward
with them. It was difficult for the
Indian, even with the help of Minna-
waqua, in basket making, to earn a
living for his little family. There
were white hunters in the woods now,
and game was getting comparatively
scarce. Evan after the removal to
Pine creek the Indian was sorely
pressed by poverty, and he soon deter-
mined, though with great reluctance,
to join his tribe at the head waters of
the river, nearly forty miles away.
It was a sad day, Minnawaqua, with
all the stoicism of her race could not
repress her grief, and tears trickled
from the beautiful but nearly sightless
eyes of Star Eyes, now a handsomely
framed youth of fourteen years. And
there were moist eyes, too, in the
Quaker’s family, and in the households
of the other settlers.
It was autumn following the spring
when Fleet Foot joined the tribe,
Rumors had been rife all summer that
the Indians were in an ugly mood and
that a raid down the river to sweep-
away the advance settlements was im
minent. The consequence was that
the settlers were fully armed and pre-
pared to quickly muster all the men
within 2 dozen miles along the river.
Just at day break one morning the
Quaker family were awakened by a
violent pounding on the door. On
opening they were amazed at finding
Star Eyes there in most pitiable plight.
He was weak and haggard ; his buck
skin clothing was almost in’ shreds :
there were only remnants of his moe-
casing, and his teet were bleeding ter-
ribly.
He quickly told his story. The In-
dians were on the warpath up the riv-
er. After the war party started he in-
stantly took to the woods, made a long
detour in the mountains, running af
his best speed all the time, and then
struck the river below the advancing
redskins. ITis imperfect sight had
caused his clothing to be torn to tat-
ters by underbrush, and his moccasins
had worn out in that almost perpetual
ran day and night for forty miles. He
thought the Indians would surely
reach the settlement the following
night.
The alarm was quickly sounded
along the valley. A good fore: of
brave men hurried up to meet the sav-
ages and they took a good defensive
position. But their service were not
needed. When the Indians found that
their approach had been heralded and
that the settlers were ready for them
they abacdoned the raid and retreat:
ed.
Star Eves remained with his Quaker
friends. About two weeks after the
events just voted he and two of tbe
Quaker children were gathering nuts
in the woods. Suddenly there was a
small volley of rifle shots, and poor
Star Eyes fell dead in his tracks with-
out word or groan. The other children
were unhurt.
This was an awful retribution visited
upon the nearly sightless Indian boy
tor saving his white friends from
slaughter.
Within an hour after the dastardly
act of assassination a dozen white set-
tlers were on the trail of the murders,
five in number, as indicated by their
tracks. The long strides shown by the
moccasin tracks showed that the as-
gassing were running and that they
were determined to make sure of thier
escape. But the pursurers were swift
runners too. Nerved by the gratitude
to poor Star Eyes and by the horrible
atrocity of the Indians, they deteamin-
ed to avenge the crime at all hazards.
As evening approached, the pursuers
found that the trail was getting
“warm’’—they were nearing the cul-
prits. Sundown, twilight, and the
trail still warmer. As the tracks grew
indistinct, and when full twenty miles
of distance had been covered, one of
the party suddenly saw a glimmer of
light in a little valley some distance
ahead. It was evident that the In-
dians believing themselves now safe |
from pursuit, were camping for the
night.
A careful reconnoissance, a patient
wait of three hours under the glimmer- |
ing stars, a cautious advance, the sim-
ultaneous crack of a dozen carefully
aimed rifles at close range.
Four of the sleeping Indians never
awoke, the fifth one helplessly writhed
in agony. As the settlers rushed up
to digpatch the wounded redskin the
light {rom the camp fire fell upon his
face and they suddenly stopped as if
they had been riveted to the ground,
It was Fleet Foot, the father of Star
Eyes!
{ out better work than ever.
I
The muzzle of a rifle was at his head
and a finger on the trigger. His eyes
turned up sadly ; he recognized the set-
tler, raised his hand and faintly said:
“Yes; but listen,” They kuelt be-
‘side him to catch his words, for he was
evidently dying.
“When the party returned,” he said
slowly and painfully, “they koew of
course that Star Eyes had betrayed
{| them. They bound me, ‘Minnawaqua
and my three young children to stakes,
intending to burn us all
Star Eyes. In the end there was a
compromise. Five warriors, including
myself, were to go to the settlement
and kill Star Eyes. I was obliged to
accept the terms to eave Minnawaqua
and my three little one. Yeu know
the rest.
“And you were one of the murderers
of your boy,” excitedly exclaimed the
settler that covered him with the rifle.
“No,” came faintly from the dying
Indian. “I might shoot myself, but
not Star Eyes. There was no bullet
in Fleet Foot’s rifle—I deceived them.”
Suddenly he raised his head, turned
his already glassy eyes toward the
twinkling stars, pointed his finger up-
ward and said :
“There is Star Eyes now! Do you
see him? He is beckoning to me. I
must go to him I”
Then his head fell back, his hand
dropped—he was with his boy.—Phila-

Summer Tours.
The Latest Publication of the Pennsylvania Rail-

errr
The 1st of June is a date looked for-
ward to by the thousands who make
their preliminary plans for summer out-
ings, and their main guide is the sum-
mer excursion book issued yearly by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which
regularly appears on that date, Ad-
vanced copies for the season of 1892 are
fresh from the press, and certainly excel
anything of like character ever publish-
ed by this progressive railroad com-
any.
It is not only a compendium of all
the rates prevailing over its own and
connecting lines to the principal resorts
of the land, but it is equally as valuable
as a guide book, with its full and expli-
cit information as to how trips may be
made, and as to what desirable varia-
tions may be utilized to enhance their
pleasure and profit. Nearly five hun-
dred resorts, ranging from Prince Ed-
wards Island to the mountains of West-
ern North Carolina, from the southern
extremity of New Jersey to the wild
lakes of Canada, from the mineral
springs of Virginia to the great inland
lakes, are described at length, and over
fifteen hundred routes, representing a
stock of fifteen hundred special forms of
tickets, are sent out clearly and intelli-
gibly within its pages.
In arranging these routes care has
been observed in making them read over
lines that present the greatest number of
interesting points, and in every case
there is a wide field for choice. They
also provide for a return trip by a differ-
ent direction, so that the tourist may
find his outing a continual succession of
changing scenes.
It is so comprehensive that one could
hardly ask for a ticket to an Eastern re-
sort of any prominence and fail to find
it ready-made by a variety of routes.
One hundred and thirty railroad and
steamboat lines are represented in the
coupons of these tickets, everp one of
them connecting them directly or re-
motely with the Pennsylvania system.
The cover to this handsome edition
represents one of the famous Pennsylva-
nia Railroad Observation Cars artistical-

Mind Your English.
In common talk we use a great many
grammatical vulgarisms which could
as well beavoided as not, and the error
of which should always be pointed out
to the young who are forming their
languages. The Methodist sensibly
says:
Children should learn to speak cor-
rectly while they are children, for it will
be hard to correct wrong habits when
they become older. Many persons
who have a smattering of French and
oven of Latin, too, are known to make
bad blunders in their English, because
they never learned to correct themselves
when they were young,
The other day a little girl asked,
«Will you go to-morrer?” The an-
swer was, ‘‘I dunno.” How much better
to pronounce the words correctly, and
say to-morrow and don’t know. Never
say sech fine apples, but such fine ap-
ples. Jest as live is another improper
expression. You should say, just as
lief. And do not say I ain’t. There
is no such word in the English langu-
age. You should say I'm not or it
isn’t.
I heard a boy say, “I never saw sech
figgers.” That was a very bad pro-
nunciation. Another said, “I can hol-
ler lounder than you:” buta bright
little fellow replied, “I don’t think I
can holler at all, though I can helloo so
as to be heard a quarter of a mile.
There is one mistake that almost
everybody makes in saying ‘He don’t.”
It is well enough to say “I don’t” or
“they don’t,” but in the third person
singular you should say ‘he dosen’t.”

Consent Gained from the Sultan to Lay Rails
From Acre to Damascus—the Locomotive to
Screech Beside the Sea of Galilee.
The infidel has at last succeeded, says
a Constantinople correspondent of the
New York Tribune. For many a year
he has been uying lo get permission to
build railroads across Palestine. Plan
after plan has "been devised for iron
highways to connect the Mediterranean
coast with the great marts inland. But
‘Lhe Porte has listened courteously, with
that gentle patience that is characteris-
tic of the modern Oriental, and then
has put the scheme away into one of
those diplomatic sepulehres from which
there is no resurrection. What has
Islam to gain by the building of rail-
roads? Have not the camel-trains been
sufficient hitherto for all the greatness of
Damascus and Bagdad ?
‘What new entreaties or arguments
have now prevailed, I know not. But
some there are. The Sultan has affixed
his signature to a decree giying to an
English capitalist permistion to build
and operate a railroad from Acre to
Damascus. The Company is already
formed, and many of the contracts let,
and work will be begun at once. The
route has been fully surveyed. It has
two terminals on the Mediterranean, at
Acre and at Haifa, the branches from
the two uniting at the southeast of Mount
Carmel. That the road should start
from Acre is a bit of poetic justice, for
that town was the last stronghold of the
Christians in Palestine, at the end of
the Crusades. From Mount Carmel the
line runs directly down to Jezreel, fol-
lowing, one may readily imagine, the
very track of Elijah, the Tishbite, who,
after the famous Battle of the Gods on
that mountain height, girded up his
loins and ran before the chariot of King
Ahab all the way back to the capital of
Samaria. Thus it passes to the south
of Nazareth, and Nain, and Mount
Tabor, to Beisan. At the latter place it
turns to the north, and runs up the
western bank of the Jordan. Before
renching the Sea of Galilee, however, it
crosses the river and strikes off to the
northeast, to El Hamma, Khisfin, and
Nawa, and thence straight on to Damas-
cus The length of the line is 120 miles
all but ten or twelve being on almost
level plains. The cost is estimated at
about $9,000,000. -
Apart from the probability of this
line farming, ia the near future, part of
a trunk system extending to the Persian
Gulf, or even to India, the promise of
prosperity is good. The city of Damas-
cus, with nearly 800,000 inhabitants, is
one of the chief marts of trade in all the
Kast. It has countless factories and
warehouses, and is the commercial cen-
tre of regions having a population of
many millions. Caravans go thither
from Babylon, and Nineveh, and Bag-
dad,’and all the rich valleys of the Tig-
ris and Euphrates, and from Arabia and
Egypt. A considerable share of this
traffic will feed the freight yards af the
railroad, But aside from this, the line
runs through a country of enormous
wealth. It is a serious error to imagine
that these Old World lands are exhaust-
ed. Bashan, or Hauran, as itis now
called, is one of the most fertile regions
on the face of the globe. It produces
more than 200,000 tons of grain each
year, and exports fully 135,000 tons.
Bashan is, indeed, one of the great grain-
aries of the Eastern world, and it will
lend the product of its fields to swell the
trafic of the railroad. Besides grain,
the country produces vast harvests of
olives and other frais, and silk, wool,
and cotton, for the growth of which it is
especially adapted, Thereare also im-
portant stone quarries, and mines or
wells of bitumen or petroleum. At
present the foreign commerce of Syria is
more than $30,000,000 a year. Under
the stimulus of the railroad and its in-
creased facilities this will doubtless be
much enlarged, until it rivals that of
the olden times, when Tyre and Sidon
were the greatest commercial centres of |
the world.
There is another railroad now in course
to Jerusalem. It will be one of the
favorite lines of travel in the country,
but commercially will be of little im-
portance, except in so far asit supplies
local needs. The traveler or it will
find it difficult to persuade himself that
he is not 1n Germany, for it runs through
a region largely colonized from the
Fatherland. Joppa itself is a German
city. All the business there is done by
Germans, and at every corner one finds
the tamiliar beer-saloon, for all the world
like Munich and Berlin. So at Rama or
Ramleh. There are hundreds of Ger-
man settlers, who dominate the whole
place. And as one approaches the walls
of Jerusalem itself he sees many a
prosaic-looking beer-shop, with an un-
mistakably Teutonic name on the sign-
board above the door.
These inroads of civilization suggest,
of course, the Jewish question. Will
there ever be an ingathering of the Chos-
en People to their ancient home? Well,
yes. There has been and there is a con-
siderable ingathering. A large propor-
tion of the German colonists are Jews ;
and of late many thousands of Russion
and Polish Jews have flocked thither.
Jerusalem itself contains not far from
50,000. and the number of Jews in the
whole of Palestine must be three times
that. And less than a generation ago
a careful count showed less than 7,000.
The old Jewish inhabitants look upon
this army of new-comers with little fav-
or. They have nothing in common with
them but their religion. Two peoples
more unlike it is difficult to imagine.
The old Jewish inhabitants are all
Sephardim from Spain: While the
Moslem Caliphs bore sway in the latter
country, the Jews were tolerated, even
honored. At Granada and Toledo, par-
ticularly, they were at the head of the
universities, and were leaders of intel-
lectual and business life. But when the
Moorish dynasty fell, and tbe Christians
regained sway, the hand of persecution |
fell heavily upon the Jews, and they
fled to the domains of their former pro-
tectors. In Palestine they" found peace
and prosperity ; and there their descend-
ants live to this day. There are only a
few thousands of them. But they are |
“the salt of the earth.” It is easy to
imagine them identical with the gifted |
people who made the Kingdom of Israel
the great nation it was in David's and
Solomon's time. They are intelligent, '
industrious, progressive. Their langu-
ages are two. Among themselves they
speak only pure Spanish, the tongue
that was their ancesto.s’ in Andalusia.
{ To their neighbors they speak Arabic.
They have none of the cast of features
characteristic of the Jews of Germany
and Russia, and in mind they are liberal
and optimistic. They spend no time in
lamenting the departed glories of Jeru-
salem, but give themselves earnestly to
the task of making the best of their
present lot. In this they have succeed-
ed, and they are prosperous, happy, and |
respected. ,
he new element, which of late has
so numerously flocked into Palestine,
belongs to the Ashkenazim. They are
the hardshells of Judaism, the narrow,
reactionary class. They are the sons of
those fierce zealots who anathematized
Spinoza and Moses Mendelssohn. Since
the time of Titus they have had a col-
ony at Tiberias, on the Sea of Galilee,
where they have maintained a school of
the most rigid and uncompromising or-
thodoxy. That place has now become
a centre of attraction to the European
Jews who are flocking into the country,
until now it is perhaps the most purely
Jewish city in the world. Every man
you meet is a typical Shylock of the
stage ; in appearance—tall, gaunt, long-
coated, fur-capped, hawked-nosed, long-
haired. They will not learn the langu-
age of the country, but cling to their na-
tive Russian, Polish or German. They
never laugh or smile, but wear an ex-
pression of life-long melancholy. “Suf-
fering is the badge of all our tribe”
seems written on their brows. Nor are
they industrious. It costs little to live,
and some of that little is contributed by
their benevolent brethren in Europe.
So they spend their time in reading re-
ligious books and mourning over the
downfall of Jerusalem. A more hope-
less community it would be impossible
to find. :
So it is at Jerusalem and all through
Palestine wherever the Ashkenazim
Jews have settled, They are idle, mo-
rose, unprogressive, void of hope or am-
bitian. Isis not they who will ever
contribute one iota to the rehabilitation
of Palestine. If their rich and industri-
ous co-religionists in Europe and A meri-
ca continue to support them, they will
continue to lead a miserable existence.
Should supplies be cut off, they would
sink into abject beggary, or drift back
to the purlieus of European cities. Were
they all Sephardin instead of Ashkena-
zim, they would re-establish the King-
dom of Israel to-morrow. As it is, the
future of Palestine is in the hands of the
Christian, not the Jew.
Warm Weather Has Come at Last.
The Best Season of the Year to Treat Chronic
Catarrh.
Understanding that a great num-
ber of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during the
past cold season, yetit can not be de
nied that the cold, wet, backward
spring has retarded many cures, and
in some cases actually prevented a
cure, But, after unusual delay, sum-
mer has come at last, and now is the
time for all catarrh sufferers to begin a
systematic course of treatment for this
disease. The greatest difficulty in the
way of ireating chronic catarrh is that
the patient is so liable to catch cold
during the treatment, and thus delay a
cure. This liability at this season of
the year is, in a great measure, remov-
ed, and uo one should neglect the op-
portunity ‘o be given treatment.
The proper way to begin the treat-
ment for ciironic catarrh is to take a
teaspoonful of Peruna befor each meal
and at bedtime. This dose should be
increase so that in one month tke pa-
tient will be taking two tablespoonfuls
at each dose; at which time a report
of the case by letter should be made
to Dr. Hartman , Columbus, Ohio, and
he will advise further.
Every patient should have a copy of
the Family Physician No. 2, which is
a 32 page pamphlet, giving a complete
description of cause, symptoms and
cure of chronic catarrh. Sent free to
any address.
