native Gvwilla, and sailed foi Ameii

theit teens, weie alieady ileinonstiat
ing most abundantly the lesults of the
beautiful leliglous teachings of the
heaits ot the peasant homes of the laud
of Cadair Idils, Wjddfa, and 1'llm
llmmon. They could render "O Tiynlan
Caeisalem" and slmilai deotlonal
hvnins with a soul-insplilng chat in;
theli leliglous and tempeinnce decla
mations weie lcmaikablu for their
pathos, and the sweet mnnner with
which they weie lendeied was en
chanting. Mis. Hurt, in these jears, possessed a
eiv sympathetic contralto olce, well
dcsciplined and undei excellent control,
such a olce that touches the heai t
and chaims the soul. She was a good
musician, and thiough her many ac
complishments we find hei later play
ing an Impoitant role on the rostium
In behalf of fallen humanity. She was
an extiemely pious lady, a stilvlng ad
vocato ot the tempeinnce cause, and
a foicible and convincing speakei in
her natle tongue.
The dawn was nigh, and the loving
but msleious hand was alt eddy shap
ing the magnificent futuie of the hus
bandless mother and hei tlnee Catling
01 phaiib.
They arihed at their American des
tination In due time, and weie lecehed
by the Welsh fi lends with that open
and bioad coidiallty, so chaiacteiistlc
of the Hiython heait in Ameilca. The
piesenco of the talented mother and
her tlnee wondeiful oiphans was soon
felt, and their remarkable genius in
literatuie and song immediately entei
ed the hearts of the people. The better
people of the nelghboi hood ministers,
lawjeis, business men, aitisans In
fact, everybody took a deep interest
in the welfare of the wondeiful quartet
ft enn the mountains of old Gwalla. The
mothei was induced by fi lends to adopt
tho lostrum as a piofesslon, by which
means her chlldien could bo offered an
oppoitunlty to develop their genius and
also manifest what they could already
accomplish with their sweet voices.
As wo stated befoie. being a waijm
advocate of the temperance cause, Mrs.
Hurt adopted the stage and espoused
the cause. She deliveied halt hour
talks, the remaining poitlon of the pro
gi amine being taken up by the chll
dien, which consisted of recitations,
songs and tempetance dialogues. Their
unlquo performances convinced, eon
eited and chaimed. At this eatly age
Lam a. was the star of the onteitaln
ment and the pilde of the laige audi
ences, wherever they appeared. Their
s-uccess was immediate and Immense,
and theii set vices weie eagerly sought
by those of the tempeinnce and lelig
lous faiths.
At tliis time, the lamented Ellis, the
Immoital wiiter of the beautiful music
that afterwards made the names of
Moody and Sankey known the lelig
lous woild over, was just Intioduclng
his music to tho world, and Mis Buit
and her tlnee little chlldien vveie the
first to sing the beautiful hymn, en
titled "Pulling for the Shoie," on any
public platfonn. Mr. Hllss heatd of
them and they were Induced to travel
with him, and the work of Mr. Bliss
and Mrs. Hurt and her tlnee little or
phans In the state of Ohio has not been
foi gotten to this day. tub ponui
woids of tho speakeis convinced and
com ei ted, and the splendid w 01 k of me
little ones charmed the callous heart of
the w ay w in d w anderer. They w ere en
gaged In this woik for five or sl years,
making converts wheieer they ap
peared, and the chlldien impioed in
their profession as. they giew older. In
Laura's twelfth year' the quaitet re
turned to New Yoik, after hating vis
ited almost eveiy state in the union.
The accomplishments of the little
Welsh maiden t-oon became known in
the gieat metiopolls. She became
'known to a leading piofesslonal who
was suipilsed with her icmaikable ac
complishments. The stage was adopt
ed as an ultimatum, and the lesult Is
known long ago. Miss Hint bus tuken
leading pints in many diamas for the
last lle years, and hei etfoits me those
ot an accomplished and painstaking
actress. She is a Shakebpeaian de
votee and a student of suipilslng abil
ity. Gieat lesults ate expected in the
near future fiomi this talented young
lady In this more exalted Held.
"You'd Hcaicu expect ono ot in age,
To speak In public on the stage;

Tall oaks from little acorns grow."

In an article on "Queer Christmas Cus
toms In OJd Corners of the Globe," pub
lished In the Chiistmas number of the
"Chinch Hells," tho "Mail Lwjd" cus
tom In Wales is lefeired to as follows
"Hy the way, la Wales the placo horses'

Mr. C. Lloyd Moigan has written a
book on "Habit and Instinct," and the
"Pall Mall" ievlewer speaks of It In the
highest teims. Ml. Morgan has come to
the conclusion that Instinct is two-fold
namely, Jlrst, Inherited Instinct, compris
ing congenltally dellnate faculties and
innate capacitj , second, acquired Instinct,
leading to the formation of habit. Both
habit and Instinct aie automatic, although
like such automatic acts as breathing and
walking, they may become subject to con
scious celebration or action of the will.
It Is Instinct which, when a hen has
hatched a brood of ducklings, throws her
Into a. terrible state of agitation when the
brood, also actuated by instinct, take to
tho water, "What experience," asks Mr.
Morgan, "has the hen of drowning," to
adopt such an interpretation Is to credit
hei with powers of anticipating the lesults
of expei lence, which Is h.ud to believe
she possesses. It Is more probable that
her fussy behavior Is paitly the result of
her little one3 going where she has an
instlncti6 aversion to following lhe.it,
and partly the result of a bleach of
normal associations due to pievious ex
pel lence with chicks.
Mr. T. C. Thomas, of Llandaff, submits a
fiesh tianslatiou of "i'n djfrotdd maivi

None can hold mv head for me.

Who once died upon the tree;
He's a filend in death's daik liver,

Seeing Him, I'll sing and tilumph
In that liver, deep and cold.
It is alleged on what authority we

(Eglfysback) finds Rome a more pleasant

Tho most eloqunt speaker at the dln

was Mr. William Evans, the chief in
spector of otllclal lecelvors undei the
Boaid of Trade. In proposing the toast
of "The Literature, Science and Art of
Wales," he spoke in strong terms of the
debt that Wales owed to the Welshmen
who were Ignorant of Welsh and af

Sir William Thomas Lewis and Mabon,

"It "was flrmly beltoved at one tlmo In
Wales," says the Rev. Ellas Owens, in
his "Welsh Tolk Lore," "that tho tallies
exchanged their own weakly oi deformed
offspring for the strong children ot mor

THE M'-NVTOKIAL TIGHT.
riom the Cntbondale Hei aid
It seems to us that the choice between
the candidates w is decided in the vvnj
that will best seive the lnteiests of the
state The Wanamakei canvass was
founded pilncipallj on boodle. The can
didate's claim to distinction is in the
fact that he Is nn tnoimously ilch man.
His ellort to attain a seat in the United
States senate was characterized b the
same methods which he would use to
procuie a job lot of neckties Happllj fjr
the honest people of tho state, these
methods have signally failed. The fallute
is a victorj foi clean politics.
INTEREST ON STATE MONEY.
From Gov ei nor Hastings' Message.
The banking institutions who teethe
deposits fiom the state's tteasurj, ooth
of the sinking fund and of the curunt
tecelpts, instead of leeching a salaij
therefot, should be icqulied to paj the
customaty iates ot inteiest on such de
posits the same as If ltcelved fiom ir
dlvlduals oi othei banking institutions
There appeals no sufficient ieason why
such inteiest should not bo exacted bv
law from the banking Institutions seek
ing the advantage of such deposits.
