While all of a sermon may not be helpful

E reached by a Christian man, there will be
elp for every one somewhere. We go into
an apothecary store. We see others being

pel these theological utudents I say to
them, we want In our sermons not more
metaphysics, nor more imagination, nor 1
uiuko wgiu, not more proiunaity.
What we want in our s raious and Chris
tian exhortations is more sympathy. When
Father Taylor preacued in the Sailors' Bethel
at Boston, the jaca tars felt that they had
help for their duties among the ratlines aul
the forecastles. When Richard Weaver
preached to the operatives in Oldham, Eng
land, all the worklngmen felt they had more
gc-n- for the spindles. When Dr. South
preached to kings and princes and princesses
all the mighty men who heard him felt prep
aration for their high station.
Again I remark that sanctuary help ought
to come through the prayers of all tne peo
ple. The dooc ot the eternal storehouse is
hung on one hinge a gold binge, the ninge
f prayer and when the whole audience lay

There are many people who sj.end the Drst
prayer in arranging their apparel after rn

"long prayer' in wishing it were through,
and spend the last praver in preparing to

of every religious service Is the sermon. The
more important parts are the Scriptural les
son and the prayer. Tim sermon is oulj" a
man talking to a man. The Seriptuie lesson
is (iod talking to man. Prayer is man talk

Instead of lieing a dull exercise, we would

My imols looked vexed, bui evident!)
lonsidcied it best to say no more at t ie
time, but as the last month of the sol ool

began to look at me with an air of con
re ro.
"These sotimenccment exercise," h
.'emarked, "ave having a bad effect upon

lie was bent upon carrying out this
plan; wherefore the first week m July
law us established at a quiet but de
lightful watering place in the Virginia
Mountains, the inducements of winch
were maonificont tceuery, healthful air
and waters, trout fishing and "homo
comforts." The place seemed well
patronized by elderly people and in
valids, thongh there were fewer youno"
persons present than at the gayer
iprings. Yet among tho half dozin
girls whose sweet presence illumined the
Mountain Top Hotel, there was one who
fascinated me almost from the moment
in which I first beheld her.
I was at one of the mineral springs
at the foot of mountain that we first met,
on the day after my arrival. She and a
bevy of her fair companions were laugh
ing and chatting together about its brink
when we came upon them, and seeing:
that we had no drinking vessel, she
dipped a silver cup into the spring and
offered it with a charming grace, first to'
Uncle Joe, and then to me. I quaffed
the healing waters, and with it the first
love-draugbt that my heart had ever
known. Then we all went back to the
hotel together; the fair Ilebe and I, by
sou) i unaccountable arrangement, tin-ling
ourselves the last couple in tho pro
cession. She talked frankly, first about
thu scenery, and then lightly touching,
in a charmingly original and independent
way, upon various topic9. I found her
to be brimful of poetry and romance,
without what is called "gush;" and we
made the interesting discovery that our
lavorite poems were the same, and that
upou many subjects our tastes nnd
opinions were identic!. Iu fact, we
were kindred spirits.
Arprnnchiug t'ue hotel, I observed a
poitly and comtortable-looklng coupie
set-.ted on the piazw, the gentleman
smoking and the lady serenely fanning
herself. My fair companion nodded and
tiu led to them, aud said, laughingly:

She laughed as she answered: j
"What a lovely name you have? K

I assented ; but a cold chill ran through
me at the thought. "Suppose I had beer
obliged to inform her that my name wai

formed a solemn re-olve to relinquish ail
claim to my Aunt 1'oster's fortune, add
retain my own na:no of Percy Howard,.
Henceforth the more that I saw of tht
fair Ethel the more enamored did I be
come of her sweet and winning graees.
In less than a week I was convinced that
she was the one woman in the work
whom destiny had marked out for mo;
and at the end of the second week I took
my uncle into my confidence and com
municated to htm my intention of asking
her to become my wife.
"I see no objection," my uncle replied
after a moment's grave thought "pro
vided she will accept you. She is a
charming girl a little romantic, but
sensible; and will, I am sure, make a
good wife. Fortunately, your aunt's
money will enable you to live in com
fort, whereas without it you and your
wife would starve; for, as T understand,
she has nothing of her own, and is de
pendent on her uncte, Judge Patterson.
Indeed, I heard him say yesterday that
he would never consent to her marrying
a poor mn." :
Here was a dilem na. After ri-o'.viug,
for Ethel's sake, to keep my ua.ue, I here
found myself reduced to ue alternative
y( relinquishing ii in order to gain pos
session of her! To reiign bsr I felt to
be an impossibility, whereupon I at
length, not without a pang, informed
Uncle Joe that I bad concluded to ao
:ept the conditions of my aunt's will and
;'aitn the fortune. But I should have
:o explain it to Ethel, and what would
ihe say I
Ethel listened very attentively, as in a
ileasant little retired nook on the lawn,
ailed "the lovers' seat," I told her
tbcut my great-aunt's will and iu ab
mrd condition. Her sweet face was full
f sympathy, but when I asked her to
ihare with me my life and my fortune,
;hcro cime an ominous silenca. She
ooked down, and with tho point of her
jarasol carefully turned over and exim
ned a tire-fly which lay motionless upon
ihe grass.
"Ethel," I exe'aimed, anxiously, "if
fou have any feeling of pity, give me an
inswer at once. I caunot bear this sus
pense. Surely you do care for me!"
"I I do care for you, Percy," she
laid slowly, and then paused. Appar
;ntly she had satisfied herself that the
3y was dead, for she now began absently
.o dig a grave with her parasol, into
which she lightly shoved him, then add
ed, sadly: "But I don't know that I can
marry you."
"Why not, darling? Wh.tt obstaclo It
there?"
"TVhr, c'y think. tiv X
dreadful thing it would be to have to go
through my whole life as as Mrs. Peter
Tubbs!" And here she hastily covered
up the fire-By and buried it out of sight,
as though it had been that hated name.
"I kcow it darling," I answered sadly
and sympathetically. tl4 hito the name
as much as you cau possibly do.but sure
ly you love me sufficiently to be willing
to make that sacrifice rather than cast me
oil entirely?"
"But," she answered, glancing up
appealingly from under her long lathes,
"czuld not you make a sacrifice for my
sake? Give up the money and keep
your beautiful name.."
'But, dearest, we would be so poorl
I could not think of exposing you to tho
trials and ills of poverty "
"Oh, I don't care for money!" she
interrupted, brightly. "We could live
in a nioe little cottage, which I could
lake lovely with roses and honeysuckle
and I w ould learn to cook It's all the
fashion now for ladies to take cooking
lessons and we could be just as happy
there as in a palace. If you do truly
love me, Percy, give up the fortune; fot
really I could never ba happy as Mrs.
Peter Tubbs; and I'm not sure but that
perhaps I should not be able to love
you so much If you were not Percy
Howard, but Peter Tubb3. It's silly I
know; but I always associate people
with their names."
This last consideration was a seriou3
one, I felt, and I sat in silence, while
Ethel commence a scraping bits of gravel
on the grave of the fire-fly.
"Suppose you take until to-morrow to
think it over?1' she euggested; "and
then I shall know how much you do
really care or me."
And then she rose and we sauntered
slowly back to the hotel ; she apparently
placid and serene, while my heart wai
sorely troubled with the dilemma, out of
which I saw no safe way.
When next morning we met in the
same spot she had not long to wait for
my answer. I told her at once that 1
cared for nothing on earth in comparison
with her, and that if she would only
promise to be my wife to be Mrs. Percy
Howard my Aunt Foster's money might
g.i to Mrs. Granger, and welcome.
I can never forget the radiant look
w.th which she turned to me tears in
her eyes, but a lovely smile on her lip.
" Then you do love me better than
this money !"' she exclaimed. "I am sc
glad so happy 1" And she looked ut
into my eyes and held out both hj
hands.
"But, darling, do you think that yoi
will really be satisfied with living in 1
,itaie aud uo.ng your own coouingl"
t inquired somewhat anxiously.
Sne laughed gaily.
"We shall never bo teduced to that,
Percy. We will keep your name and the
money, all the same."
"But, dearest, that will be impossible.
You don't seem fully to undeistand "
"Oh, yes, I do!" sho interrupted with
a little exultant sort of a smile and toss
of her head. "And now please let me
make an explanation in my turn. Mrs.
Granger, your aunt's niece, became a
widow shortly after her marriage, and
was married again to Mr. Walter Gray.
They were my own dear parents, and
they both died when I was a lktle girl.
So cow, don't you see that since you
positively decline to take the name of
Peter Tubbs, I am ray Aunt Poster's heir
ess, by the condition of her will? And
o, as I said, we will keep your name
and get the money a'l the same; for
every cent of it shall Lo settled upon
yourself. I wouldn't know what to do

leave their holes and livo ia odd houses

These strange people are usually as

have no government, no chief, and nu

Mow the Intramural "L" Is Operated at
the World's Fair.
In the Intramual Railway and its
operation the public visiting the
World's Fair found one of Its strong
est attractions. The remarkable ex
tent of ground embraced within the
boundaries of the Columbian Exposi

quate and satisfactory transportation
one ot considerable gravity. The
idea of using surface cars could not
bo entertained, and this left but one
alternative an elevated r. aJ.
As tho Exposition was to be syni
bilical of the highest point reached
by nineteenth century civilization,
the operation of the road by steam
was out of the question, and the plan
finally adopted was an electric ele
vated railroad running almost en
tirely around the f air and obtruditm
itself as little as pr.ssiMe. The line,
consisting of 14,600 feet of double
track and I.U0O feet of sirgle trie',,
was not laid out until after the work
of construction had been legun 011

in wearing- comfortable clothing while
0:1 his wheel, and especially when he
is off for a long journey, but the ap

only for racing is considered bad form
by nearly all the riders. The Cyclist

iu this way:
A good many smart young fellows
who wear tights as often as possible
and strike an 'tltnt racing attitude
before the every-ilay public discard
the brake as being effeminate and
useless attachment to a bicyle. Most
of them get into trouble soonor or
later. There is no knowing just
when will come the need of a sudden
stop, which only the quickly-downed
brake can elTect. The writer was

dulge in this particular kind of smart
ness. One day the unloo'..od-for team
dashed out ot a side street, and no
back pedaling could prevent the crash
that followed. A brake would have
done the business. To coast without
a brake is worse than reckless. It Is
wicked. If but the r'der's own neck
were in peril ft would, perhaps, be all
right, but he places the lives of other
