BREAST THE TIDE.
w. a .Kin.
When the storms of life o'ertake you.
Let not courage e'er forsake you ;
Yield not to the tempest tamely;
Buttle with It firmly, gamely
Breast the tide.
What a spectacle Ignoble
Is the man, who, when in trouble.
Folds his hands with look despairing
When he should, with hlgh-aouled daring
Breast the tl !.
Though the winds should fiercely bluster.
Clouds of inky blackness muster;
Winds ere long will be declining,
Clouds display a sllv'ry lining.
Breast the tide.
Tolly 'tis to let disiisU-r
Energy and pluck o'ermaster ;
Fortune will show less of rigor.
If yv.u ply the oar with vhjor.
Breast the tide.
Courage only can avail you
When the windsand waves assail you.
Onward! Onward! or be driven
On the rock, your boat all riven !
Breast the tide.

JACKS SWEETHEART.
Jack was a geniun. There never
was such a fellow as Jack at least so
everybody In the bidden away little
fi- hing village of IJracebridge would
tell you, from the mott ancient flnlier
maa down to the tiniest inhabitant of
Ibis picturesxjue sjMt by the sa. Jack
was as kind at heart as be was clever
ju bead, and as be poMsonaed the happy
.knack of working both ends at th
same time; the rer'.iil was that he w.t.4
;po'.:)ted out as beintr tle cleverest lail
Jn the village and as kindly asouls
might be found for many a mile alon;
t!e coast.
lie was scarcely a lad 23 yea
rmight be written against him for did
ibit the register of the old church b-'I
how on Oct. 10, lSi, Jack was bom?
.He was the only child of John and
.Mary Barton, and they loved him with
-all tiie love which every only child
-seems to win from its parents.
Yes, Jack was a genius. From his
-farliest years he would go down to the
beach with pa;wr and pencil and oraw
the fishing smacks and the bouts with
the mariners mending their nets
-and remedying tLe ruLshapf which bad
befallen their craft during a gale. His
"talent incres;! with years, and the
j'ouug fellow was prudent, carefully
-cultivating that which seemed to
le his gift. His pict'ires of the sea had
even been exhibited ia the show win
dows of the nearest mnrket town, aome
aix miles away, and folk tramped aw.-y
to Itoekmanton to see "Jack's picters
on uhow."
And what said Addie she was call
ed little Addie of all this? Well,
.Addie was Jack's sweetheart, and now
you know all that she would say.
Little Addie had her story to tell, or,
rather, John Barton used to tell it for
her. I a fact, the telling of the story
was an annual eveut with the riahcr
nian. He was never tired of tilling
how 1(5 j'ears ago they had the fiercest
storm that bad within memory found
its way near Bractbridge. He had
made Addie'a birthday the morni.ig
when the sea had sent her, and it took
-a lot to convince him that the little sea
'waif was quite 3 years old when he
saved her from the wreck. So on the
anniversary of that terrible time John
and his wife, Jack and his heroin)
would sit around the fire and listen to
the story onoe again, while little Addie
would shudder aud Jack would hold
her hand tighter, as much as to say,
"Well, I've got you now, you see."
"My eye, an it was a time, too,"
-John would say. It's a wonder we
didn't all put off that morning to sea.
'The mackerel sfiyson was iu full swing,
' but Job Bates turned to us and said:
'Look , meates, there's a storm a
' brewin out yonder, an a good un too.
. If 'e want to see your hoaiues again,
istopabit.' An Job proved himself
. good weather prophet, for, true euough,
lKfore an hour was up we'd got it
.aye, as I never saw it afore and hope
: never to see it agaiu."
And he would tell how, just before
the daybreak, a vessel was sighted in
disaess; hows dczen strong heartr-d
: fellows, biin-e!f among them, put o.it
the safest craft they couid get, leavi'-g
'their wives aud little ones and neig'i-
!ors to wait on the cli.Ts, and them,
'with aaxiom hearts, watch the gallant
'.re'.v tossed ou the water for thn-e
! hours ere they could get within a couple
of hundred yards of the sinking ves
iseL It was too late. She went down.
' Then John Barton would warm to his
: story.
"Bless V, my pet," he would say,
rrunning his great fingers through Ad-
die's fair, brown hair, "we'd a' most
ileft without seem' our precious find.
' Why, they must have thrown 'e over-
board. Ab, you may smile, little
waun thrown 'e overboard just as they
' were goin' down, for the next minute
II caught sight of 'e Lojnd to a rough
'. little raft. How we pulled then! Our
: muscles stood out like whipcords, aud
: in another minute we had got a rope
; around the raft's end, aud, as I found
'- , so I claimed 'e,"
80 that is how little Addie came to
b 3 in the fisherman's home. And the
it .ve that she and Jack had learned in
el illdhood had grown stronger and
V per aa the one became prettier with
tl .e early days of womanhood and the
rs Jicr more earnest and devoted as a
re xn. Tle more they were together,
gt eater became their love, and no
w jnder Addie was flushed with excite
ment and laughing almost wildly at
tin news contained in a letter address
ed to her lover. It came by the carrier
in the morning, for letters were looked
upon as veritable curiosities at Brace
Lrk'.ge everybody's friends, every
body's relations all seemed to live
together on one poU

Such was the letter which Addie had

happy follow took his seat liesldo the
driver, it was only John Birton who
could bid hi3 boy "good luck;" little Ad
die could but wave her handkerchief as
the carrier cracked his whip ami smile
upon her lover till he turnod the cor
ner at the top of the hill.
James Rabertsm was looked upon
by the good people of lltckmatiton as
a man with a sa l side to his life. lie
was always alone, and during the
three years he b.al lived in Koselle
nobody had learned anything about
him. His f:ico betokened a kindly
heart within. Though ho might have
lecu 40 or 60, it was the face of a cam
paratively young managed before his
time.
0:;!y a few days previously he had
stopjied in front of Mrs. Peek's shop
in th High street and had been struck
with the clevcrue-w which character
ized a pair of pictures iu the wiudiw.
One represented a tlcrm, with the
mighty waves righting one against the
other for the mastery, while its com
panion was a contrast depicting a
peaceful morning on a rockbouudcoaat
with the seat at r:tt. He inquired the
painter's name aud address aud made
him the kindly offer.
On the afternoon that his letter had
reached Its destination he was seated
in the cozy parlor of Itoselle when his
housekeeper announced "Mr. Jack
Barton." In another moment Jack
was standing before his unknown
friend.
"Sit down, my boy, sit down," said
James Itoiiertsou. "So you are re
sponsible for those two pictures in Mr.
Peck's shop, eh?"
"Yes, sir," Jack replied.
"Well, they are exct-ediagly clever.
Now let me see wh:it you have brought
to show me."
And quickly a do;x-u sketches were
upou the tabic, every one of which
James Ililiertson scanned with the
eye of a connoisseur. After examin
ing the lat he threw it down again
with the explanation:
"Well, you f-'iall do it. I wanted to
give my comtniasion to a man who had
spent his life on the sea. The 111:111 who
paints my picture must hear aud see
every wave as he depicts it with his
brush. Now I can trust you to do this.
I will tell you the subject. A gill
standing on the fn-ashore, looking nut
to sea as if watching fti.d longing for
some one to come. She mu-t be a
beautiful girl, just blossoming into wo
mauhoiMl, with yes fair, brown hair.
You may clothe lierusyou will as a
fisherman's daughter only the free
must be there. I have only one copy
of the face I want you to paint. I can
not let it go, but you can come here
and work. Then, when you are ready
to fill iu the background, you can go
back to your homo unJ psiut the sea
shore, with its cliffs and rocks. As to
what I will pay you, let that rest. I
cau alfjrd to reward you lilicrally."
James ltoUrtsoo seemed to realize
that sad Ait: of his life which every
body in the town associated with his
name. With a sigh, suppressed but
uumista?;ab!e, he drew from bis pocket
an old brown leather p;cketbook and
with a touch of gentleness took out a
few old letters as though they were
precious to him. Then he found a
surill packet, which he looked upon as
though he longed to pros it to his lips,
but he was not alone. From this he took
a tiny cur! of brown hair and laid it in
the palm of his band as if it were too
great a treasure to place elsewhere, and
then a small portrait, evidently taken
from the inside of a brwah. The ref
lections seemed mora than he could
bear, aud, never heeding that be was
not alone, he bout his heal ia bis
hands by the mantelboard, and, with
the sigh of a man broken hearted,
stood quietly there for some time.
Then, routing himself, he said:
"Ah, take no notice. The sight of
these reminds me of those I still love.
Now, just look at that pieture. Could
you enlarge upon it?"
It was the face of a beautiful wo rain
about 21 years of tge. Jack started a
little when be saw it and said:
"I shall not forget that face."
"Yes," said James iioliertson sadly,
"she was very beautiful."
"But, eir," Jack said, "I do not
think 1 need work here. Let me work
at my home. May I look at the por
trait again, sir?" I will bring your
picture finhrhed before many weeks are
gone. You may trust me to iL it,"
the youug fellow said earrieitly. "You
will not be disappointed as to the faith
fulness of the liketicss."
Jack was so sincere that James Rob
ertson had nvt the heart to olfer any
objection to the course he propo-ted.
Jack's luck was on the tip of every-
bodv's tongue iu Braeebridge, and
whAoIdJob Bates said, "I twold'e
as how the boy was born to peant
picters," there was not a dissenting
voice. It was now nearly o mouth
since the date of James Robertson's
commission, and but thelait few finish
lag toui-hes were required to perfect
the picture. Addie had sat daily tu the
youug man, and when he Uld her how
his unknown friend had bid him paint
the girl looking for soau'bisly she said:
"Well, I shall look for you, Jack, all
the time."
She made a pretty picture, with her
bright eyes aud fair brown hair, aud
when the youthful artist came to paint
the rouksand moss covered bowlders be
hind her and the sea gently coining
toward her feet he would go down to
the seashirs with her, an 1 the old folk
would shake their heads and say:
"Ye may well be proud lass," to
which the girl would simply reply,
"I'm very happy."
At last the picture was complete.
Jack wrote to his friend that he would
bring it ou Monday. Oaee again the
carrier stopped at the fisherman's door,
but this tlm is was not for Ad die to
remain behind and wave her band to
her lover until he turned the road at
the top of the hill, bjt Jack and his
sweetheart sat side by side iu the cart,
so that "Mr. Robertson might see what
the real thing was like." At least so
aid the light hearted painter.
The old mare seemed to go nore
slowly than ever, but at last R ckman
tou was reached, und the two young
lovers stood hand iu baud beneath the
porch where the roses grew. It wab
kind of the housekeeper to bid Ad J'e
come and sit in her rojui while
"Mr. Barton" talked over matters with
James Roberts ton. ne was standing
by the mantelboard, evidently waiting
for his caller, and h did not stay for
Jack to remove the covering, but hasti
ly took it away him (elf to see how
faithfully his instructions hal been
carried out He took the canvas In
his hands, and, evidently under great
emotion, gazed at it fir a moment.
Then, with au agonized cry, he sank
into a chair, still holding the picture,
almost frantically, and cried out:
"My wife! My wife! My darling
Roselle!"
lis saw no one in the r-xnn, but, with
tears rolling down his cheeks, seemed
to si peak within himself. "Just as
you were, Ilxelle. Just the same as
when we first met. Those eyes are
yours. Your smile Is just as it ued to
be for me. Don't look at me, darling
Roselle. Don't smile just now. Oh,
why were you taken from me? Why
did our child go too? I love you better
than all the world, but the angels lov
ed you best." Then he became him
self once again, and turning to the
young man, said:
"You must not think anything of
this. I lost my wife and child at sea.
They were on their way out to me, but
the vessel was never heard of again.
You have put upon that canvas the
face of my wife just sts she was. I
thank you with all my heart. It Is
just as my little daughter would have
been had the sea not claimed her. God
bless you! God bless you!" And the
broken hearted man elusped Jack's
baud and pressed it long aud fervent-
iy.
For the first time the thought flashed
across the young man's mind. Was
he holding the hand of Ad iie's fath
er? He seemed to reali23 it a'l aud aek
ed excitedly:
"How long is this ao?''
"Sixteen years," replied James Rob
ertson quietly.
"Sixteen years my Addie W years!'
"Why do you look like that? Tell
me, man. tell me!"
"Because oh, it can't !e true! I
painted that picture from a living mod
el. The girl whoso face you see there
lives. Sue was found lf years ago,
saved from the sea, and"
But Robertson cried out, his whole
frame trembling:
"Great heavens! Where is she? Take
me to her. Let me see if she is my
child. I shall know my little Riselle.
Don't tritle with me, young man, snd,
oh, don't disappoint me now!"
"She is in the house." said Jack.
James Robertson flew from the room.
It was pitiful to see him.
"Roselle, Roselle, my little Roseile!"
he cried. "Come to me. Where are
you? I'm lookin g for you."
Little Ad lie sat quietly in the hous
keeper'a room. She heard the name
and bent her head to listen. She seem
ed as if in doubt, but a smile was in her
anxious look and her childhood's days
seemed with her once more. She was
with her mother, who held her in her
arms and kissed her many times, call
ing her "My little IU-clie." The
name was on her lips when the man,
half frantic with expectation, reached
the door, still crying out the name by
which her ruo'.htr called her.
He looked for a moment upon the
girl befora him only a moment and
then, with a cry of joy boru only in a
father's heart, took her to himself with
a strong embrace, kissing her pas
sionately and weeping as though his
heart would break, yet a smile of relief
was there with his tears. Aid bis
child never for a moment took her
arms from around bis neck, but seem
ed to accept the truth, when the man,
brought low with emotion, r'.cd out:
"My little Roselle, have I fcu.ud ytu
at last ?"
He took her oa his knee, Jack stand
ing quietly by, and then he told her
how, when (mite a tiny thing, she and
her mother were on their way to join
him in a distant country; how they
never ca.ne, for the vessel was Iot;
how he had lived alone ever since then,
for who could share the love he had
for his wife aud child? And then Jack
chimed in with "the birthday" story,
and the father, child and lover s-at there
many hours, the happy man often
I'Hiking down to say, "My little

Concsrainj Funerals and Funeral
Bervices.
A paper read by Rev. T. J. Bristow,
Somerset, Pa., before the Ministerial
Association.
It is nppointed unto men once to
die. The body after death must be de
cently laid to rest, burial being by con
sent of all christian people the proper
way f its disposal. Cremation is
heathenish and no more sanitary than
proper burial. Whatever way is adop
ted will not interfere with the doctrine
of the resurrection of the body iu a
spiritual form; there are marvels in
nature as great as that. In the inter
ment of the dead there is room in this
age for reform, as also in the religious
services at funerals. In most cases the
fuueral is too costly. The sum of one
hundred dollars and more is frequent
ly paid for the casket containing the
body, and there is not value received
iu this decent receptacle. It has been
affirmed that in the city of New York
funerals average in cost five hundred
dollars, and that only considerate and
economic people can afford to die there.
People of moderate circumstances im
itate the affluent in the funerals of
their dead, and p'.unge themselves into
debt. We are not pleading for parsi-m-juy
and meanness, but have to say
that the fuueral as it b often observed
is sadly extravagant, and like a grim
ace at death. We hear the phrase "
pretty eorpse," ami are reminded of
Saieey Gamp where Charles Dickens
satirized the uurse of his tim3, who
when called in to look at a patient said,
as she pinned down his arms, "My!
wouldn't he make a lovely corpse."
There is t' much exhibition of the
dead fur grod taste and feeling.
The memory of the living face is
better than that of the dead,
and excejt in the case of
public men of service in the church or
s'ate, we think the Ualy should not be
exposed to the public gaze. This feel
ing is growing, f r you will often see in
funeral notices that the interment will
be private. It is repugnant to those
who treat departure from this life in a
serious manner, to look ujion the
pomp and vanity which go right up to
the gates of deatii. Flowers, too, are
all very well, but if there were more
of what they teach in the lives of our
dear ones, it would be better than the
costliest display after death.
We have been at funerals where the
tired and wornout mother has been
laid away with flowers in profusion,
but a little less bending over the wash
tub and of the drudgery of household
life while she yet lived would have
been better. With regard to the serv
ice of the burial of the dead, we are
glad to see that much needed reforms
are being made. It was thought iu
some places, at least, that no person
could bo properly buried without a
funeral sermon. These are rarely de
livered now, a brief address being
deemed most appropriate, I have
heard remarks full of strong and sul
phurous adjectives by men who have
sat in the carriages in waiting, because
the minister prolonged the agony of
bereavement by prating and holding a
long service on a cold day. Singing,
we think, should, as a rule, be omitted
from the fuueral ceremony. Where,
however, the best can be had and the
sweetest, it is very well, but usually
the singing at a funeral des more
harm than good. Sail a bereaved
mother to the writer once: "I wish
they bad not sung at the fuueral, for
every word went fc my bear: like a
kaife." The word of G'1 should be
read, with selections appropriate to the
case, a tender prayer offered, anil a
few words of comfort given. It is not
the plac'3 of the minister to pronounce
final judgment on the impenitent
whom he may bury; what is implied
will be sad enough, and the mm who
will suffer the damnation of his fellow
mortal to roll olf his tongue, b not fit
to occupy the position of the christian
minister. Although a Presbyterian, I
believe there is no better service f r
the dead than the Episcopal form, all
of our attenuated services are pieced
out of that; in it all are treated alike,
and a hope only expressed ia each
ca e. "As our bone ts this our brother
doth." Eulogy of the dead 1 wrong
iu every case. A g"od life does not
need it, and certainly a bad life should
not have It. In Chicago not loug ag,
a rich man died aud was buried, the
minister lauding him to the skies, and
giving him a first class passage to par
adise. At the closo an honest Djtch
man touched the minister on the
shoulder and said: "Mine friend:, did
yer know the corjise vta he vas alive!"
I; is always unwise to attempt this
thing, lueause if done at all, the flat
tery must be laid on thick, or the dead
will ba condemned by our faint praise.
We think that one man, the pastor of
the deceased, or la the case of one out
side the fold, the minuter preferred
should take the whole service. It can
then ba kept within the proper limit
as to tim, and if this were made the
rule no other minister in attendance
would feel hurt if not called upon to
play second violin by the officiating
brother. We are to treat this thing
from a common sense, and philosophic
standpoint. Death is sure to come,
and we shall be frequently called upon
to minister consolation. We must do
this in a manly way, and discounten
ance all things prevailing which are
in bad form and worse taste. We do
not want to say as one preacher did,
"Thb hymn was selected by the
corpse," or when at the fuueral of the
village butcher the minister said, "He
was a kind man and never hurt a liv
ing thing." Perhaps the climax of
absurdity has been reached in this line
by the pastor who said, "This vener
able woman lived in the holy estate of
marriage for forty years, aud died in
hope of a better life."
The conclusion of the service at the
grave should be brief, but time should
be taken to aay in oue form or another,
that the body b buried in hope of the
resurrection; that in a word it is chris
tian burial. The inevitable approach
of death to all and the frequency of
the burial service should lead us to
perform these duties in resignation to
our heavenly Father's will, and w hile
full of human sympathy, there should
be no wandering to a weak ceutiment-
alism. Enough U enough, even at a,
service of thb kind when we should
WHOLE NO. 2372.
show all proper respect for the feelings
of the living, as for the virtues of the
dead. Laertes was auxious that the
full service for the dead should be per
formed at the burial of his sister,
Ophelia, and when the priest refused,
because the manner of her death was
doubtful, said, "Must no more lie
done!" and when the priest replied,
got the letter of hb own superstition
as he said,
I.ay her In the earth.
And from her fair an 1 unpolluted flesh
H!i:i.'l violets spring.
I tell the churilsh pr.est,
A ministering an-el shall my sister be,
When thou lltst howling."
We teach that this b not our rest,
therefore let us not add to the anguish
of survivors by preaching calamity,
when the gates of life, rather than t-t
death, are flung open for our loved
ones.
Life concerns us in reality more than
death. K'.it little is revealed in the
scriptures of the future life, but enough
is taught both in the old aud new tes
taments for our comfort.
Our divine Lord "has brought life
and immortality to light by the gos
pel," acd a good death will be the log
ical sequence of a good life.
"Cowards die a thousand deaths In
fearing one," and it will be well for us
if the sam immortal pen which jrave
to us these words may also descrilie our
departure.
"NotLing in all his life became him
as the way lie left it."
Chesterfield, the prince of good
manners, bad a very lingering death,
continuing iu life loag after physicians
said he must go. He a.-ked the pardon
and indulgence of those) who waited
on him I. cause he died so slowly. In
conclusion then, our funeral services
shouid be shorn of the frivolities and
customs which often make them re
pulsive. They should be tender, syui
pat belie, humane and short. There
should be alweys a plain, outspoken
statenp-nt of our faith in Christ, and
the C ristiau d.-ctrine of the resurre-
tion of the dead. Let us lay aside the
frivolities that so easily lestt us, and
attend to this nutter iu a eomruon
sense way. The funniest jokes and
merriest stories are often perpetrated
just after the fjneral service; the r. as-

Fat3 aril Food.
Fats, including all palatable oils, are
valuable as foods, and under favorable
conditions may lie digested and ab
sorbed iu considerable quantities by a
healthy adult.
A study of physiology shows I hat
nature has beatowed great attention
upm the means for the digestion, ab
sorption and assimilation of fatty sub
stances by the human body. This fact
m-iy be taken as an indication that fat
is naturally a beneficial food. Yet it b
a popular supposition that fat is un
wholesome; aud in many cases the
eating of fat does cause stomach dis
order. To live naturally everyone should
spend part of the day ia physical exer
cise, preferably ia the open air. Exer
cise is requisite for the digestion of fat.
Lack of exercise b one reason w-hy, ia
many cases, fats "disagree" with the
eater .
The dige-tibility of different fats va
ries. Butter and cod liver oil are in
the front rauk as regards ease of diges
tion. It b uot tay to overestimate the virt
ue of cod li ver oil as a tonic for a child
born with an inclination to consump
tion, as indicated by cough, lament ss
or curvature of the spine. The value of
good butter iu the same connection is
not widely enough recognized.
The writer was recently asked by
the anxious mother of a young girl of
consumptive tendencies whether her
fondness for butter was not unnatural
and harmful. To such a person the
taste for fatty foods b a natural crav
ing for a perfectly proper and whole
some food. The craving should not be
discouraged at all, but plentiful indul
gence in outdoor air and exercise
should be insisted upon as a necessary
condition of digestiug the fats; other
wise symptoms of stomach disorder
will appear; blotches and pimples wiil
often oce-ir upou the face, aud general
ill health will result.
Fatty, heat-producing foods are es
pecially called for in winter. Chemis
try demonstrates it, and it is proved
also by the wile use of fat in coll
regions, both by animals and by men.
A dressing of olive oil preatly in
creases the food value of the commoti
potato, and at the same time adds
much to its paiatableuess. Youth's

Qneen of ths Ice-
There is an American girl in Lon
don who can probably perform more
wonders on skates than any other girl
living. In fact, there are very few
men who can equal the feats, &ud the
feet, of Miss Mabel Daviii-011 on the
ice. She is a veritable "queen of the
ice," and is a coiustant marvel to the
Londoners. She appeared last week
before a crowd numbering thousands,
and for an hour or more the Johnny
Bulb and their wives and sweethearts
were dumb with amazement.
Miss Davidson claims the title 'of the
"champion lady skater of the world,"
and she certainly seemed to deserve
that honor. She swayed and turned
and whirled and pirouetted and waltz
ed with amaziug rapidity and grace.
All her figures were cut so rapidly that
few but expert skaters themselves could
follow the changes.
Trobably the tricks that were most
applauded were a foot-over-foot move
ment and a forward and backward
run in a sitting posture, one leg being
kept straight out In front of the body.
Miss Davidson appeared in a bright !
Scotch plaid frock, with a skirt that
barely reached to the tops of her high
boots.
