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

"I was holding rv meeting at Church

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

In a second tho gentleman with tho un

ono hand and an enormous knife raised
abovo his head in tho other. 'Sit down.

" '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

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

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

'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,

TOO MUCH ALIKE.
"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

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. Denver Nows.
Thero nro so many things to mako a

Needn't Look Like nn Undertaker.
Thero nro neoplo In this; world so rood
that they mako you tired. You meet
them most often in good places, and they
aro quito apt to keep people away from
tho good places inbtead of drawing them
there. 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. New Or
