I ant beautiful," murmured Lnra Dean,
as uliu stood beforo tlio mirror, smiling nt
the face rellcctcd there, and 1 know very
well that Kdvvard is not indiU'erent to beau
ty ; although ho is engaged to my plain lit
tle saint of a cousin, Flo. I do not really
think she .cares very much for him, and if
shu docs plnivv! I .have nothing but my
handsome I'.tco to depend upon, so must
make the best of it, and let tho others look
out for thcm-clvcs."
Lora Dean was certainly very beautiful
Her hair was black as tho raven's wing, and
lay in thick, heavy coil upon her shapely
head ; eyes of velvet blackness, which their
owner could at will caino to lla-h defiantly,
ordroop in sweet, innocent confusion, cheeks
ami lips like scarlet mm, and teeth rivaling
pearls in whiteness. She was a little abovo
tho medium height, and iter elegant carriage
would grace a queen.
Miss Dean was an orphan, and lived with
her aunt iu tho city of Xevv York, but had
accepted her cousin Jtay's invitation to spend
a few months with her in tho country. Hero
sho met Edward E.irle, Flo's, betrothed
husband, lie was handsome, talented and
wealthy and this beautiful, unprincipled girl
was not long in making up her mind to
throw all her arts into the contest, and win
him for herself, thus ending u longstiugglo
between pride and poverty, which threat
ened tho happine-s of tho future, even
though tho result might be the wreck of her
cousin's happiness.
"I declare! It is almoit fivo o'clock!"
continued Miss Dean, petulantly glancing
at her watch. "Flo. promised to help mo
dress for tho party. I do wish sho would
come."
As if in answer to her wish tho door
opened, and Florence Itay entered tho room.
Sho was plain no one would think of call
ing her anything cl.e yet there w.n an ex
pression of innocence, and purity in that
sweet, gcntlo face, and speaking from those
soulful brown eyes, which attracted every
one, and to know her was to love her.
"Oh, Flo? I am si glad you havo conic!"
And tho treacherous face was wreathed iu
smiles. ''1 want you to do my hair just thu
prettie.-t you can. I know I'm a bother ;
hut you ato a d.irling girl and won't mind.
.Florence kis-ed tho pouting red lips of her
coti-in held up to her.
,0, coz, you nro not a uotner. u is a
plci'.stiro for mo to help you,"
'i'lo. do you think I'm very beautiful ?"
said Lora when her cousin stood unwinding
tho coil of her magnificent hair.
"Yes dear. I wish I were half as beauti
ful."
"I wonder if Edward Eirlotliinksso too,"
sho said, watching Flu. through her halt-
dosed lids.
"Who?"
"I mean to win him if I can."
"Lor.i," said Florence, her f.ico Hushing,
then turning pale, "you know Elirard ismv
nlllunced." .
"Well, suppo-ingho is; if ho would leavo
you for a beautiful faco ho is not worthv of
you. Florence, daro you let this be a test to
sen if ho will remain lino?"
Did there creep a doubt into tlio girl's
mind, that caused her to hesitate mid for a
moment to remain silent? When sho spoko
it was witli u vvhito yet determined face, and
her voice bounded strange and cold,
"I am willing."
Hut Florence's heart sank within her when
her cousin's toilet was finished, and the
stood beforo her a very nucen iu tho rich
robes of her silk lace, witli glittering dia
monds iu her hair, and ather throat. Would
ho stnnd tho test sho asked herself.
Every eye was turned toward Mks Dean
titat evening, when t-ho swept into tho par
lors. Her beauty, find gay sparkling man
ner soon brought a crowd of admirers around
her, and lured by tho-o bright eyes Edward
Earlo found himself among them,
Florence l!ay only needed that one even
lug to toll how tho contest would end, nut!
who would bo tho wluncrj yet she hud her
self con-enteibto tho trial, and conio wha
might she would hide all btill'erlng and lut
her part.
Tho ovenlng was. a fair gamma of the
days which followed. Edward rarely sought
Florence' side, and she stood proudly aloft
never by word or slid betraying her truo
feelings.
To do Edward Earloju.tlco hU lovo for
Florenco was still the same, ho was merely
fascinated with her cousin, and repelled by
her manner towaid him, he mmrht L th'i
hjclrty, Hnl Florence tided (lill'ercntly he
would iiccr havo f urn sjf.iras to nleaso
her fnm tliir ciri-Midit. Ito cild mail
liers, tc- thr with u few Insinuations from
Lor.i Dean made the work ct parting two
loving hearts very easy. Although no hard
word i had been spoken on either side, both
roalized that a great gulf was fixed between
them.
Tho finishing stroko enmc iu the shapo of
a nolo, In tlio familiar handwriting of Flor
ence, which fell In Iidward's way. It wan
nddresscd to n young man who hnd formerly
Ikmh a lover of Iter's, nml filled with regrets
that sho wai hound to another, while her
heart was nud always would bo his.
Could Edward Earle have known how
mttoli time thnt Lora Dean spuut upon that
very note, in which sho forged her cousin's
handwritliie; so cleverly, ho would havo ta
ken a different course that meinorablo after
noon. Wllhaslern faco he sought Flora in tho
slimmer lioti-e, which ho had seen heron
ler with a Imulc in hand.
Floreni:.' hoard hi familiar footstep and
her heart ravo a great throb, while a glad
light came into her eyes ; but when ho en
tered her presence he only saw her lift her
eyes from tho book sho was reading, and
how coldly !
With the words of that note still burning
in his brain, her manner almost maddened
him,
"Miss liny I think wo had bettor cniuo to
an undemanding at once, and I havo taken
it on myself lo olforyou freedom from the
bonds that havo proved so irksome."
For a moment Florenco sat as if stunned.
Although she hatbfelt for a long time thata
groat distance was between them, sho could
not realize it had como to this. In his oiler
of reloa'o she only saw a glad escape on his
pari, that he might wed her beautiful cousin ;
and, forcing back llio cry of anguiih that
would have risen ou her lips, nil the pride
iu her nature camo to her rescue, and helped
her through her ordeal. With no more vis
ible emotion in her whilo faco than if it
were carved from marble, sho drew the cosi
ly solitaire diamond from her finger and
held it toward him. Tho hist link that had
bound them together had been severed, and
without a word ho tool: tho ring and loll her
presence.
Alone in her room, with no cyo but God's
to Witney, Floienee l!,ty fought with her
lovo and pride. Pride conquered, and -ho
went out boldly determined to die rather
than give one ono sign of her sull'ering.
Days grow into weeks and still Lora Dean
lingered nt the farm hone. Edward Earlo
and she were nlmo-t constantly together.
Ono afternoon Florence stood by tho win
dow, in thought living over tho p.i-t, and
contrasting it with tho present, and wonder
ing if -ho could ever again think tho sun
shino beautiful with that dull weary pain in
her heart. A familiar form was coming up
the road, and her heart beat almost audibly
while a crimson spot came to either check.
How beautiful and innocent Lor.i looked
out in the garden among tho ilowers. Her
voice thrilled somo Happy lovo song floated
in tnrougu tuo window to clorence s ears.
As she listened for a moment and only a
moment a feeling of bitter hatred ngain-t
her cousin crept into her heart and was har
bored theie. Lor.i Dean's graceful attitude
did not look as if it was studied; but sho
had caught a glimpse of Edward Earlo's
handsome figure, although she was to all ap
pearances unconscious of his approach.
Ho opened tho little gate and entered tho
garden. Florence saw them standing togeth-
cr saw him stoop, pick up a rose and plac
it among her trc-se.s; then they walked
down tho path iu tlio direction of the lake.
When tho trees hid them from sight Flor
ence same into the chair, burial her lace in
her hands, and the glistening tears fell
thr nigh her white lingeis. For a moment
only she sat thus and then her old pride re
turned, and as II ashamed of her momentary
weakness site tla-died llio tears away anil
took up the embroidery she had thrown
:tside.
n hour later, when Lora, Hushed and
elated, entered tho room, her faco gavo no
sign of llio slrugglo sho had passed through.
"Florence, beauty has won ! Edward
Eailo has a-ked mo lo become his wife."
"And you have accepted him?" slowly
camo from tho white lips of Florence.
"Of course I have! Ho is handsome and
wealthy. For ono in my position having
run through a fortune witli plenty of pride
and no means to keep up appearances much
longer, it is a decidedly lucky thing, 1 am
lad you do not caro much for him at least
judging from your actions you did not, or
I should not have let matters gono this
far."
"One question ; Lora, do you lovo him ?"
"Xo Flora, I will bo candid witli you. It
is only tho position his wealth will give that
1 covet."
"Lora! Lora! Was it for that you wrecked
mv life ? I had thought to suffer in silence,
but 1 limit speak. I lovo Edward Earlo
with a lovo that will never die. lleforo you
camo wc wero happy ! I can fnrglvo you tho
wrong you havo done me; but, oh, Dora,
think well bel'uro you consent to perjure
your soul at tho altar by giving your hand
not your heart! You will not bo happy,
and God will meto out punishment to you,"
"There, there, Florence! D. not preach
unv longer. It is too late now."
"Xo, MKs Dean, not loo late," said a
stem voice as ti iorm uarkcnoil tuo door
way.
"Mr. Earle, as I live! And iu tho pleas
tnt position of eavesdropper."
Lorn meant lo be scornful but her voice
trembled witli shainoand mortification.
"Yes, Miss Dean; for onco I havo been
guilty of listening; yet my concienco does
not condemn me. I have learned that wlileli
will greatly change the future for you and
me. It you will consider those words I was
innd enough to utter a short Unto ago re
called, I shall bo very much obliged to you,"
"As you please," said Miss Dean, iu a
voice trembling with passion. Then sho
arose and swept from tho room.
Edward ero-sod the room whero Florenco
sat with bowed head, nud taking ono of her
hands ho said ;
"Paiiloii mo, Miss Itay Florence for bo
lug a listener lo this conversation between
you and your cou.in. It lias opened my
eyes in inoro than one rwpect. I chanced to

outgeneral led the Lion Heart, would havo
an.nveroil with oven less hcs'ilalion, "Proph
et, saint, and hero." Which party was
right? and if neither, which wits nearest
right? Which of the two knew most about
Mohammed? Which was mo-d caoiblo of
judging on any ipipiou of elm -m ler and ev
idence, and which possessed tho mo t collnt-
oral learning and pnwcs of comparison .' v.
These miestioiis are bv no means haul to an-
.. 1
swer. Wo know that mental accomti ih-
ments of Godfrey de Hou'illon and Itichard
l'lantagcnet wero eon lined to a vcy small
smattering of education, sufficient to enablo
th -mtosign their names j'.P.er a fashion,
whilo of the Arabic language an.l of iho con
tents of tho Koran itself they were both iu
blissful ignorance. Had any one oA'ered to
present t' her wi' h a copy of the book in t';o
oiigiual Arabic nr in the perfect. French
translation, it is probable that Godfrey and
Richard would havo neled in tho same way.
Into tlio fii'o wot'ld have gone the book and
with it the donor, had tho latter been avail
able. Had either posses-od the power to ex
terminate every Moslem living, Ihero is hoc
a shadow o1 doubt that he would have or
dered the execution at once, imagining ho
was doing God service in punishing "blas
phemers." In what the sin or blasphemy
consisted, as applied to "Islam," Godfrey
and Kicliard might havo boon puz.led to ex
plain to tlio satisfaction of a disinterested
party. The argument, had such a thing as
argument been Hece-ary, would infallibly
have ended, like the renowned discussion be
tween Captain Fliiellcn and Captain Mac
Morris, iu an attempt by one party lo cut
off the other party's head.
When we come to esamino llarotin mid
Yiissttf we liiul men of a different stamp.
Without being less a soldier, each w.w much
more of a general, and each was tho most
enlightened princo of his own time. All the
learned men of the Evt flocked to the court
of both, and in those days tho Eist almost
monopolized tho learning of the worlds I'e
sides this, each prince was well acquainted
with the writings of Mohn.niucd, ami in fact
had committed the greater part of the Kor
an bodily to memory, as every Arab of rank
does at tho present day. Theso men, thor
oughly acquainted witli Mohammed's bonk
a book historically certain as being the
wrk of his single mind unassisted by others
called Mohammed, as their descendants do
to this time, "Prophet, saint, and hero." It
beiomcs, then, to us of the present time, u
matter of inquiry whether the-o men may
not possibly bo right, and Godfrevcand llicli
aril possibly wrong. I'or good many ecu-
turiis wo havo been going on the crusading
theory as regards Islam, and it is about time
that those of in who are open to reason
stopped to ask ourselves whether wo are
quite justifiicd in our classification of "Jews,
Turks, and infidels" as objects of pity, to bo
prayed for onco a year. Another doubt may
even atiso as to whether we are justified in
calling a Moslem an "inliilel under any
circumstances; but this doubt will arise nta
later stage of tho inquiry. To fotm a juil
ment on Mohammed wo must read his book
Al-Koran. To that alono he appealed, when
asked to work miracles as a sign of his mis
sum ; to that the Arabs point to-day as a
standing miracle, defying tlio world to pro
dtieo its equal. -
Wo aro told by all Arabs that the Koran is
the most pcrlect poetrv in tho Arauie lan
guage ; and vet, when wo come to read it as
translated into English, wo find it dull and
tedious. It is a dillicult thing for a Europe
an to read through tho wholo Koran in a
translation. Ho so.iu rcallifes it to bo differ
cut from what ho imagined it. Very po-sj
blv he dreamed of finding therein long and
luscious descriptions of the "Mohammedan
paradise ;" that ho should read about linuiU
and the treo of life, the beast Al-P.orak, riv
ers of wine, nnd all tho-e visions of tho dif
ferent heavens Usually attributed to tho
prophet. Ho finds not u word of all this.
Instead, there is boundless devotional enlhii
siasm, all the vocabulary of praUo to God,
long moral lectures, Old Testament stories !u
n dillerent form, a familiar reference lo all
Iho Jewish patriarchs, prophets and kings,
an equally constant reference to the facts of
the Gospel-, but iu a somewhnt (liferent
dress, nnd finally fierce denunciation, iu a
strain of tho most awlul solemnity, of the in
lldels who will not believe in the truths of
(iod. Ofilocliinohollndsnosubtletv. Mo
hammed proclaims but one fact, and idler
ates it ior all time. As tlio Koran opens
with Al-Fatihat, "The Preface," so ic natur
ally iioes with tho simple and sublime
"Declaration," a chapter of itself. The
words of those chapters are texts for all the
rest of the book. It enlarges, dilates, ampli
fio, illustrates, rciferales tho ono grand dee
lanition, "La Jllnh.t, il AIM," "Xo God
but God." All tho rest is written only to
give that weight. Tho fact that Mohammed
Is tho nronhet of (lod U a mere incident, like
the "Thus saltb lb., I.m.1" of tho Hebrew
tnonliets. It Is in show- wlioneo oaiiio tho
message. That message is the ono thing of
impoitauoo to man, and it Is of tho simplest:
"Xo God but God." When that iueaao is
believed, tlio mnralitv of tlio Koran follows
with equal simplicity. Prayer and charity
mo thu whole dutv of man. Xot praver as
an importunate begging for favors, but pray-
cr which Is only prnUe and anxiety to bo
kept iu the faith of Gad; not ostentntiuiis
almsgiving, misuilled charity, but a charity

After Angel Sleep and Angel Dsath had
bocomo tin brothers, Angel Sleep thought
less ol his own merit and beautiful gar
niont and' more of the pnoplo for whom ho
professed, and really, imsscssed, so much
lovo; and before a moon hud pasted, sought
and obtained niiothifr interview with Angel
Denth. Ave, even beforo tho fir-t day was
well begun he wished to seo Angel Death,
nud when lie found him, ho ran to hint,
caught him in close embrace and wept free
ly. "0, Angel Death" said ho "what a lc.
son you have taught me. With all my phi-
Innthrophy how stupid I have been. 1
thought tho eyes of mortals llko a.closo
room, when tlio curtains wero closed, all was
dark ; but you havo taught mo 'tis not so.
Tell me brother what is tlio sleep I give
them.'
"lie composed my brother Angel Sleep"
said the Angel Death "and go with mo again
to tho land of dreams, and let us linger there
long and lenrn what wc can. Many things
tltet'o are which wo cannot comprehend.
lUtt wo will lenrn what wo can."
As tho Angel Death had thus spoke) they
wero como to tlio nanks ol tlio Kivcr, anil
th0 B"a fjlIellt nrHen soon lernctl them
over il 1,00,1 waters. And when ho had set
il . .1 J '.. .1 I .1 ... jI
lllcm 011 ulu -airy mioro uie nrst one uiey
saw was a young man, apparently of eigh
teen winters, playing ball with half a dozen
others.
How heartily did ho play, how light and
quick were his steps, and how merrily rang
his laughter. How he chatted to those with
whom ho was playing. And with what
pleasure did he listen to their answers.
"Ilappincs,'' said tlio Angle Sleep. "There
is perfect happiness."
"Aye, brother," said Angel Death, "Hut
what do you think of the awakening of that
spirit ? Behold tho clay house of which it
is im inhabitant."
The Angel Sleep looked and saw tho
clay house and lo but what use to describe
it. It had already been btiilded inoro than
threo score and ten years, and soon must be
in the dark, cold bed lo which Angel Death
will take it.
"Put," said Angel Sleep, "I see a form
play ball. What does it all mean? The
form there is free from care uneonlainiiiated
by tho deep, dark stains of sin. Hut this?"
"I cannot toll," .aid the Angel Death, "I
do not comprehend it all myself. You sco
you have carried that spirit backward many
years and ho i again what ho onco was. All
the sad pat foigottcn. Heboid, tir.it ono on
whom his cyo rests so lovingly. Long
vears ago, when tlio bloom ol voutli mado
radiant her countenance, when her song was
sweeter than the birds, when her heart was
pure and good, and free from caro, I was bid
earn her to the lomb."
Then that youth now in fancy was a youth

Vs the Angel Death finished speaking;
Angel Sleep's attention was drawn to anoth
er voutli, Ho was clad in armor and at the
head of an armv secminalv about to attack
ii fort, and calling tho Angel Death's atten
tion to him, they both watched him com
mand the army.
Amu-ing, indeed, are his movements
what an odd figure? but ho conquers. Ah 1
see him swing his sword; but, ah! no
longer dreaming. He is a little boy of
eight, a puny, sic'.ly,ono whose hand could
oVn but illy grasp so large a sword, and to
raise it would be impossible.
And another, anon, drew their attention.
It was a lady whoso hair was thickly sprink
led with grey. Whoso brow was agitated,
and who seemed to bo suffering intetiso men
tal agony. Aye, soon tho tears ran down
her checks and she wept wept as if all was
gone as if .sho had nothing now for which
to live. Hut her grief became too great for the
land of dreams and thev saw her as sho was
iu reality, a lovely, pure little maiden who
scarce knew a sorrow other than lauiieil
ones.
And another they saw there, a spirit in
dreamland ; but what it was doing neither
Angel Sleep, nor Angel Death could tell, nor
could ihoy tell if it was happy or miserable,
"something mysterious about it drew their
attention, and in order o learn more of it

and tlio smiles, anon, played o ei tho tiny

A Point Not Well Taken,
In iU conimonta on tho recent r. ui Hi
in Ireland, "Saundors' Xews Letter i 'o
the following remntks: "Xor s'ao ild I bo
forgotten, a a slight extenuation of our
failure, that whilo tho American ten n was
sclocted from a nation of fort ii'dos,
who are familiar with tho rifle frnnth ir
cradle, ours was selected from a provln 'oof
five millions, whero, except in I in! "id
cases, the uso of that weapon h f , j '1 it."
Those aro quite natural obsorvalloiH, iiiid
yet they nro crronooui. For a Ion. pr lod
the rifle was peculiarly nn Am -ri an w ap
on, but that time lias pawed away, and tho
rifle peculiar to that period ha pass 1 oir of
use. The rifle did not origlnato iu the I lil
ted Stales, neither rifled small arms nor
great guns. .Tho plan of rilling lire arms
was known in Europo beforo it was in uso
here. It is, nevertheless, tho fact that, in
the early history of tho American colonies
and for more than half a century after thoy
became States, thoriflo was largely in uso by
tho great portion of tho adult American
male population.
Everywhere in this country gamo ol all
kinds was abundant, and particularly squir
rels, rabbits, wild turkeys, bears and deer.
The hunting of this game familiarized near
ly all tho inhabitants of the tobnic i w.th
tho uso of tho rifle. This huniing prarl'co
wassupnlcmented bv tho necessity of d ftneo
against tho Indians, who then ranged along
the wholo border of our country, and for
many years there was an incessant frontior
warfare. That brought about tho transition
iu tho use of the riflo from a muro hunting
piece into that of a military weapon, and
was the foundation of tho skill in the uie of
tho rifle in war faro which mado the untrained
American militia such formidablo adversa
ries to the trained and disciplined armies of
Great Hritain in the two wars with thai, coun
try. Hut, as already observed, that period
and practice passed away many years ago,
except among tho sparser populations of tho
remoto western frontier. Tito weapon of
that time has also disappearcl fromt -. It
was a roughly made gun, with flint-lock a3
well as rifled bore, with a length of six feet
of barrel and sometimes more.
Tho modern' rifle is a very different fire
arm. Tho greater part of its improvement
has had its origin in the United States, but
the modern weapon is quite as familiar
throughout all the military countries of Eu
rope in some iorm as a military weapon as it
lias ever been in this country. It is a shorter
arm, the barrel iu tho United States being
generally less than three feet long say
from thirty-four to twenty-four inches. With
this modern rillc llio population of tho Uni
ted States is not in any wise inoro familiar
than the military countries of Europe, it
is quite doubtful if in any community in tho
United States there could be found a greater
number of persons well practiced in tho u-o
of the weapon than in any similar communi
ties in tho United Kingdom, France or Ger
many, Helgium or Switzerland. In target
firing practice it is quite likely that there aro
as many skilled marksmen in either of thoso
countries as in the United States. So that
it will bo seen from tho consideration of
these points that tho observations mado
by Saunders's Xcws Letter arc not well
grounded.
As further matter worthy of note, concern
ing an erroneous impression that the old
rille as we meet witli it iu the early history
of tho American colonics, originatedon this
sido of tho Atlantic, it may bo mentioned
that the plan of "rilling" firearmrs can be
traced back iu Europe to tho fifteenth cen
tury, In respect to breech loaders, there
was a patent issued in England ru early as
1(10 1 to ono Abraham Hall. It was not until
1S11 that a patent for a breech loader was is
sued in tho United Stales. After that wo took
the lead. Hetwecn that time and 1800 thcro
were about two hundred patents issued in
this country for improvements ; and in tlio
eleven years following 1S70 thcro were about
seven hundred patents granted hero for im
provements in breech-loading firearms. It
may bo said in general that, with tho excep
tion of tlio German "needle-gun" and those
of similar pattern, nearly "all the firearms
on thobreech-loading principle are of Ameri
can origin. 1'ltilittlejilii t Lnhjrr,
