THE HOLY MAN. Yen Tszcawns very old. In nil tho villages, for many miles around, nono was so old, nono so wise. Ho had sold nil ho had and given tho money to tho poor ono year, when tho Ho-Aug-IIo had broken over Us banks nnd had swept nil tho nco nnd mulct crops down toward tho sea, IIo had been very rich, nn'd his benefactions had saved many hundreds of people from starvation. But when they blessed him nnd would have given him back his great possessions after ono or two prosperous seasons, ho would not. "Let be, my children," ho said. "My forefathers mado mo rich, and I have no son to leavo riches to. Be you nil my sons and enjoy your hcritngo now. So ho dwelt in a llttlo houso ho had buildcd with his own hands on tho mountain bide, and ato of tho millet which ho grew on a llttlo patch of ground he had cleared, and wanted nothing. And because he was wise ho healed tho people when they were sick, and prayed for them when they died, and taught them many proverbs from tho writings of tho poets; for his 1xo:;b only ho had not sold. And so they would have wor shiped him, but hoforbado them, saying: "I am a man also. Pray riot to mo till I am dead, for then it may be that I can hear and can help you." Meantime ho prayed alwayfl, to his forefathers nnd to Buddha. And ho builded him a llttlo prayer wheel for himself and sot it in tho brook that ran down tho mountain side, so that night and day hia prayers were always rising to Buddha for.Iils soul. But ho buildcd a greater wheel for hia neighbors, and set it where thero was moro water, for ho said: "I am only one, and thoy are many." And every year ho mado a lone nil grimago to the banks of the great river that nono can see across because there aro mists and clouds and always the farther bank is veiled in darkness where Buddha, nnd tho pious dead who aro ghosts, live forever. And ho prayed always for tho boatmen to come to him and ferry him across the groat river whoro so many vvero crossing every day; but ho camo'not. Yen Tszeo v?as; very sadjOveryynal nuuii miu uuubiuau iauiu uui, IUIU J1U went back to his little houso on tho mountain sido with a heavy heart; but tho people rejoiced when ho returned, for they loved him. And ho would see that they wero glad nnd ho would forget his sorrow, until tho winter would come again, when ho could not work in tho field nor visit tho sick, and tho days were dark, and tho nights long. Then ho prayed, saying: "Because I am very old and my arms and my legs aro weak, and because I havo no more joy in my body, I would cross the great river," and again ho would mako tho pilgrim age nnd watch and wait for tho boat man; hut ho camo not. But at last there camo a winter when it wasnino times colder than ho had over known, and when tho snow was very deep. And he could not go to his neigh bors when thoy were sick, and thoy could not come to him, for they were sick, and ho was old and very feeble. And he went again to tho river. Tho way was long, and his poor, thin logs bent under him as ho toiled through tho hnow and ico, and his heart failed him because ho was sick with the cold; but ho went on till ho camo to" tho river, and tho. boatman was there, and the boat was there. Then Yen Tszee said: "Aro you come to tako mo across the river?" And tho boatman, who wa.3 old nud bent, nud who wore a thick veil, said: "Yes, if you are ready," And Yen Tseo said: "I am ready." Yen Tszeo was very glad, nnd hedrow near to the boat to step In that ho might cross tho river; but when he camo near, he Btopped and shrank back, for there was no bottom to tho boat, and thero was nothing but water for him to step on, and tho Yater was very black nnd colder than ico. IIo Bhuddered, and said: "I nm very cold and I am too old and weak; I cannot go in the water." Then tho boatman said: "If you have faith, the water jvill bo as tho bottom of tho boat, and you shall go across the river; but if you havo not faith it will not hold you up," Then Yen Tszeo said, "I havo faith," and ho stepped into tho boat, nnd lol the water boro him up oven tho sumo as the wooden bottom of a boat. Then tho boatman pushed offfrom the shore, and Yen Tszeo was very much afraid, for tho river was very swift and the boat was old and rotten, and tho wa ter, seemed to riso up on either sido; and lie thought tho boat and tho boatman and ho would all sink. And ho prayed to Buddha. Tho boatman rowed hard and spake never a wcrd; but ho pulled up tho stream, and not straight across, and tho harder ho pulled tho Blower tho boat went, for tho water raged terribly. Then thoy floated away from tho ehoro, so that Yon Tszeo could neither seo behind nor beforo him, because tho mist that is al-M-ays over tho river was very thick. While thoy wero in tho middle of tho river Yen Tszeo saw n man swimming in tho icy water, and ho was almost spent, so that ho could swim no moro and was near sinking; and Yen Tszeo called to tho boatman to stop 60 that they should savo the man. But tho boatman said: "No, Wq cannot ftop to so. vo hm; because If wo do you cannot go across tho river, for I cannot carry two across." Then Yen Tszeo wopt sorely, for ho longed to go across; but ho said: "I can not seo this man perish. Wo must help him. Stop nnd I will pull him Into tho boat." And tho boatman stopped nnd Yen Tszeo pulled the drowning man into tho boat, and when ho lookt. at hU faco ho saw that it was his own body that ho had rescued. And ho wondered greatly nnd looked up at tho boatman, and lol tho boatman's veil fell oil and Yen Tszce Baw -hut he was not old nnd bent, but that ho was a beautiful annul. Then tho clouds nnd mist rolled awav nnd thoy camo to tho other side, whoro i cn 'iszco saw Buddha and many angels. And ho dwelt there. Fnles-Curtls In New York Independent, Jim ltowlo Uulcted Them.

They never com menced a difficulty, nnd in tho ordinary intercourse with their neighbors wero quicc anu courteous, out always ready todefend the weaker side. An old Moth. odist minister, who died years ago, ono of tho pioneers of Christianity in tho early days of tho southwest, also told me n story illustratlnir tlds characteristic. "I was holding rv meeting at Church mil, Miss., in 18U0," said tho venerable preacher, "when a lot of roughs, flat boatmen and others disturbed tho con gregation to such a degrco that I thought thero would bo serious troublo. So, just before tho ovening service vyas to begin, I called together several gentlemen to know what should bo dono if tho troublo was rcnowed. Among thoso present was n small man whom I had not mot beforo and about whom thero was nothing re markable except his low, soft volco and peculiar ringed gray eyes. 'I don't think thero will bo any moro troublo, parson,1 ho said. 'I will stay to-night and seo you through.'. I thanked him and in tho liustlo forgot to ask my friend who ho was. 'iho congregation was just begin ning tho first hymn when a burly ruffian, half drunk, camo staggering down tho aislo of tho church and halting tn front of tho pulpit gavo an Indian war wjioop. In a second tho gentleman with tho un usual oyca had him by tho collar with ono hand and an enormous knife raised abovo his head in tho other. 'Sit down. you drunken devil, or by 1 will cut your throat from car to carl' " 'Why, who aro youf said tho other, in shaky tones. " 'My narao Is James Bowie,' was tho answer, 'and if I hear another whimper out of you or any member of your gang, I will waslo no words, but como back to you. Now, go.' And tho man went without a word, and Bowio then joined in tho singing of tho hymn with nn air tliat was edifying in tho extremo. Thero was uo moro trouble that night, nor over alter. Tho roughs had enough." Wash ington Herald. She Slatted lllra. Thero was rather a sensational attempt at burglary tho other night at Minneapo lis, Minn. Mr. Jackson, foreman in the blacksmith shop at tho Industrial works. recently fell heir to a very largo fortune lrotu tho old country. Tho other day somo inquisitivo stranger, to whom Mr. Jackson gavo llttlo attention, asked him if tho expected legacy had yet arrived, He was dismissed with a brief answer, and tho matter would probablv havo been forgotten wero it not for the startling events wmcn ioiiowea. That very night, some timo after 12 o clock, Mrs. Jackson was awakened bv a noiso at ono of tho windows in tho bed room in which sho and her husband were sleeping. This frightened her, but fright was increased to terror at tho sight of a man stealthily creeping over tho window sill into tho room. Tho plucky llttlo woman never delayed proceedings by stoppinjr to scream or shako her husband, but, springing to tno noor, grasped a convenient bed slat, swing it with tho graco and force of a professional baseball player, mado a hit the first time, and with a resounding wiiacic sent tho stunned Intruder back through the window. Her temerity was followed by a natural reaction, and it was noon beforo she recovered her nerves sufficiently to tell what had occurred. Tho open window and blood on tho bed slat suggested that thero had been serious trouble, which was fully explained when airs, Jackson wus abln to tell her story. New York Press. 'Don't Forget Your Opera Glasses. In connection with tho Portland wed' ding presents, a not utiamusing story was current In Liondon. A vcik known and popular gentleman, on nrriving nt his club from tho theatre, discovered that ho had unwittingly annexed a pair of costly opera glasses, in a dainty bluo vel vet case. Ho nt onco instructed tho hall porter to restore thorn to the owner, who resided at a certain number In Grosvcnor crescent, Tho servant, however, left them by mlstako at tho samo number In Grosvenor placo, whoro they wero re garded In tho light of a very handsome and most appropriate wedding present. The owner became uneasy, but tho por ter was sure ho had mado no mistake, and tho mystery remained unsolved un til tho lady in question accidentally saw her glasses on tho ledgo of an opera box occupied by a ducal party. An explana tion then ensued, and tho matter was amicably settled without tho interven tion of tho lawyers. London World, No l'auitllarlty Intended. An American visiting English clubs Is suro to bo surprised at tho number of titles ho hears. Besides tho nobility nearly every ono seems to havo a special handio to his name. Colonels aro not quito as numerous as in Kentucky or Georgia, but for captains and majors wo can't hold n candlo to them. But It was reserved for mo, an American, to "knock them out" on rank in a most unexpected manner. An old waiter au ox-soldier nt the Savage, called mo Marshall several times ono evening, and was reprimanded by ono of tho members for addressing a guest by his first name, "His nainol" exclaimed the old fellow, looking aston ishedand then turning said, "Why, your honor, I thought marshal his rank!" General Grant .prophesied that I Bhould bo a general, but tho old waiter went him ono better, and tho title stuok to mo for awhile, too. Marshall P. Wilder's Book. Wash Your Ilaudi.

"Yes," assented Mr. Bird, with evf dont appreciation, ns ho ran his fingers caressingly through his iron gray hair; "yes, sir, as you observe, they aro very pretty girls, and their likeness to each other, in every way, is truly wonder ful." Tho remark was mado In answer to n tribute of respect which tho writer hnd paid to n pair of young ladies I tiso tho word "pair" advisedly, becauso thoy wero twins who had passed out of tho office of Mr. Bird, ono of tho oldest and most highly respected members of the "Middlesex bar. "I know tho mother of thoso girls nnd her Bister, and their parents, moro than thirty years ago. Tho grandparents of thoso girls wero clients of tho man with whom I read law, and afterward their children becamo my clients, aud now I am the legal adviser of both tho grand children. 1 don't think, howovcr, that thoso children nro ns much alike as wero their mother and her sister. You could not tell them apart at nil, unless you had them together." At this point ono of tho young ladies returned, with n llttlo rush and flurry, sayhlg in a very pretty tone: "I beg your pardon, Mr. Bird, but I went off without my gloves." "Don't apologize, don't apologize, I pray, Miss Miss ah, Miss Annie. I nm only too glad to seo you in my ofllco or my home, nc any timo." "Alice, you mean, Mr. Bird: but thank you for tho compliment all tho same," and away sho fluttered. "Confound itl" growled tho old gen tlcman, as ho resumed his seat, after closing tno door upon tho fair visitor "I'd havo sworn that ono was Annie." Then ho looked up with a smile, after thinking n fow minutes, and resumed: "If you can sparo five minutes, nnd care to hear it, I will tell you how I came near going crazy getting acquainted with tho mother of thoso young ladies and libr sister." Of course, nothing would plcaso me oeiter, ana i said so at once. Mr. Bird produced an ancient and mostresnncfc ablo brand of cigars, and when wo had lighted up ho proceeded: -ino maiuen namo or thoso young ladies' mother and her twin sister was Van bcrlver, and their father, old John Van Scriver, was a largo farmer and ill ,11 ... miner, quuo weauny, residing near Princeton. Ihadlicen admitted to the bar only about a year when ho died, and my preceptor, in whoso ofllco I was still located, had tho settlement of the eitate, "On ono occasion ho wroto to the girls, who wero tho onl. heirs, that he needed certain memoranda from certain papers In tho hotnestoau and that on a day ho mentioned ho would bo there to get them, asking the girls to look tho papers up In tho meantime. When the day camo tho old man was partlcularlv engaged and asked mo to tako his horses and carriage aud do tho errand; and was only too glad to oblige him. "In duo season I reached tho home stead, was received by a staid, elderly housekeeper and ushered Into tho parlor, whero I was greeted by ono of tho bright est anu most neautnui young ladles had ever met with. I told her who I was and how I came to he thero. "That is all satisfactory, Mr. Bird, Wo aro glad to seo any friend of Mr. Adair'a. Bo Boated, and I will havo the papers ready for you in a few minutes. Excuse me, please,' and sho dlsanneared. "I sat pleasurably thinking of the young lady who hnd just left mo, when tho housekeeper camo In with cake and wino, after tho-then good, old fashioned custom, and soon left mo to eniov them. l had been mono again but a very short time, It appeared to me, when tho young lady returned with papers in her hand; but Instead of coming forwnrd, she stopped nnd stared at mo in tho most embarrassing way. ' 'Did you find tho papers?' I asked. m my best society tones. "'Sir!' sho exclaimed, with a Jack Frost in her beautiful voice. 'Did what?" " 'Find tho papers you went after.' " 'What aro you talking about? Who are you, sir, and pray, what nro you do ing nerer " 'Tho only thing I'm dome; nt present. madam,' I responded, in tones quito ns glacial as her own, Ms leaving hero as soon us possible.' "Oh, thank you,' sho replied, with lofty urbanity, as tho maddest vounc man in New Jersey slammed tho door behind him. "Long afterward ! learned that I had hardly driven away when tho house keeper ro-cntored tho room, and Miss Laura Van Scriver, -with her dignity still at us mil iicigtic, uemanded: "'Who was that horrid, Impudent young man I found in tho parlor just now?' " 'Why, he's tho young man Mr. Adair sent down for some papers that Maggie has gono to get. whero Is he?' "Miss Laura responded by dronnlne into a chair ana exclaiming, with almost a scream: '"Oh, myl haven't I dono it? Why. Mrs. Elkins, I actually drove tho poor fellow out of tho house. What in the world will I do? Don't, for gracious sake, tell Maggie. I'll mako It up with Mr. Adair somehow, indeed I will.' "Tho result was that Miss Mapxlo Van Scriver never heard of my cavalier treat ment, and was for a timo filled with wonder as to what mapuer of business man I could possibly be, having driven fifteen miles to do an errand and then gono off without courtesy or perform ance. "I nursed uiy wrath and kept It nice and warm until I reached home, and then poured it all out to Mr, Adair. whoso laughter was bo long and uproar ious that I took on a fresh installment of virtuous indignation, and-was about giving tho old gentleman a piece of my mina when no Dnao mo shut up, whilo ho wliiod away tho tears of hilarity and comforted mo by saying: 'Bird, my dear follow, It is all my fault I utterly for got to tell you that tho girls are twins, and so terribly allko that you can't tell ono of them from both.' "Tho next day brought a wondering letter from Miss Maggie, asking what bad caused my sudden and unaccount able departure, and desiring to know if i was n bon or Temperance whom she had inadvertently horrified and insulted by sending him enko and wine, nnd would Mr. Adnlr plcaso tel her what it an meant, niiynow. " 'Now, hero's your chanco. Bird,' said the old man, handing mo tho letter. 'Juss tako my team nnd havo another drlvo down there. You can fix up tho mistake, whatever it is, in a jilty, nnd 'get what I want this time, sure.' "Away I wcnt,.niuMn duo tltuo was in tho Vnn Scriver parlor. I took a crit ical look nt tho young lady ns sho camo forwnrd and offered me her hand, which Ilotno timo hi Inking. I was suro of Maggie Van Scriver now. " 'I'm very glad to seo you, Mr. Bird. Pray what mado you lcavo so unceremo niously on Monday?' " 'Well, Miss Maggie, I thought it was nbout tho liest thing I could do under tho clicutustances.' " 'What? Just becauso I offered you a llttlo wino mid cakey " 'Not nt nil. Tho refreshments wero ns neceptablo ns thoy wero gracefully tendered.' " 'Then why did you go nway beforo I returned?' " didn't go away beforo you re turned. I staid until you camo back and practically turned mo out of tho houso.' " 'I turned you out of tho house!' sho exclaimed, in blank astonishment. 'Why, i nover uiu anything of tho kind.' " 'I am sorry to contradict a lady; but you certainly did.' "By this tltuo I had forgotten all nbout the twins in tho caso. and Miss MnrrD-In' brow darkened ominously as sho said gravely: " 'Mr. Bird, havo you been drinking? wish you to distinctly understand that am not n story teller; nnd I say I never saw you alter l went out of this room after tho papers. " 'Miss Van Scriver, I want it equally distinctly and emphatically borno In mind that I am not n liar, and If von had not in effect turned mo out of the house, pretending to'know nothing about me, I should not havo gono away.' "Then Miss Maggio'a eyes flashed as sho retorted: " 'And you cannot obligo mo more man by going away again. "I was half way across tho yard to my carnage, wnen i heard a tearfully pcnl tent voice, crying: 'Oh, Maggie! Call hiin backl Don't lot him go! It wns that did it!' "I turned in considernblo astonish ment, and thero stood both girls on tho porch, looking so terribly aliko that Btarlng nt them in scmi-idlotio wonder, I could not for thollfoof mo havo told which was tho other. Thero is but little moro of it. Tho story of how Laura 'fired mo out' nnd concealed tho fact from Maggio had to ljo told numberless times, until tho moon shone brightly down upon my pleasant reflections ns I pursuod homeward tho lonely road that was not lonely at all." "Well," asked tho writer, "is that all thero is of it?" .if ,,' . r . ... . -ies, saui .au-. uiru, with a queer smilo, "except that I am. the undo of tlioso two girls that just left us, and the uuschlovous Laura is their aunt." Lieut. J. Dark Chandlee in Frank Leslie, Fooling Tenderfoot. Many stories havo been told on. the plains as illustrating tho verdancy and eastern innocence of "pilgrims" and "tendcrfeet." Ono of tho best which Tho Nows now recalls is related in re gard to tho manner in which ono of tho old plains ranchmen xip near the South pass got a new wagon, no had an old ono, which was praotically worthless, and he had made many efforts to trndo it oir to passing trains nnd travelers, but without success. IIo was cettincr con 8iderably discouraged when n lono "nil grim" appeared at the ranch and camped tor tno night, tho pilgrim was very green nnd, as ho was bound over the mountains, had many questions to ask about the mountain pas3. how wldo It was, and whether wagons experienced much difficulty in getting through. He had a brand now wagon, which struck tho ranchman's oyo, and ho determined to play a bold gamo to get it. TIib next morning the "pilcrim" saw tho ranchman very carefully measuring ins wagon, anu very naturally his curi osity was oxcited, and his inquiries were answered by tho solemn nssurance from tho ranchman that tho wagon was just two inches two wido to got through tho pass. Tho pilgrim was dumfounded and In a peck of tronble. Finally his eyes rested on the old rattletrap of the ranchman, which homcasured and found to bo two inches narrower than his own, Ho promptly proposed n trade. Tho ranchman demurred. Ills wagon was old, to bo sure, but then it was narrow enough to go through tho pass in caso he should over want to visit tho Salt Lako valley. Tho moro ho objected tho more Xmportunato tho "pilgrim" became, and finally, a trado was consummated, the ranchman getting tho new wagon nnd pocketing a good round sum to boot. Tho "pilgrim" went on his way rejoic ing at his good fortuno In getting a wagon which would go through tho nar row pass; but when ho reached tho weat- ern slope ho must havo realized how badly ho had been victimized, slnco tho South pass is broad enough to inarch nn army through, and not tho narrow-gorge, barely wide enough for n wagon, which" had been pictured to him and which he was so willing to believe.

Tho good Bishop Middleton, who had studied tho thing carefully, has said: "Virtuo Itself offends when coupled with forbidding manners." Virtuo ought not to do that, and such a coupling makes it all tho worse for virtue. There Is no rea son why a virtuous young man should look like an undertaker, and why a sinful chap should bo fascinating. Things nro wrong this way. Tho good young man should bo charming with wit and wisdom, and unconsciously he will mark his way in the world with sweetness and light and gladness, nnd let virtuo havo a better timo than sin can ever have.
