CHAPTER I.
When I wins fourteen years of ase my
fa.bcr ,rave ne a boat. She wan an open
boat about ritfhteen feet long, easily man
aged by one person; aud, proud of my new
tr.-a,ire. I stpent the greats part of what
time I had to spare during the next few
months afloat, generally alone. One
uioruiug. when a brisk westerly breeze
sent nie along, wet but gloriously happy,
under jib and foresail, I saw a small
schooner-rigged yaont stretching in to
ward .hore, on a long winning tack. A
yacht, being always an object of curiosity
and pleasure to me, and, besides, not very
t.e.u seen off the North Devon coast. 1
went about, and bea; down as near to her
a I could. Aa I flew pant her. admiring
her white sails, tapering spars and beau
tiful lines, some one on deck bailed me,
asking if I could get alongside. I got up
to windward, took down my easily manag
ed sails, put out a pair ef sculls, and in a
few minutes had hold of a rope thrown
from the yacht. Two gentlemen looked
over the side and spoke to me, as I kept
my boat at a respectful distance from
their craft.
"Can we get ashore there?" asked one,
pointing to the bay.
"Yes; very well," I replied.
"We want to put a ick friend ashore
He insists upn leaving us." Here the
two men laughed heartily.
"I will take hiin. If he can get on
hoard," I said.
"Thanks, you are very kind. Now, Dun
stable," said one, turning inboard, "tum
ble up; deliverance is at hand!"
In a short time a face npiwnrcd beside
them. It waa the picture of abject mis
ery seasickness written in every line.
It nt .vith all his suffering Mr. DuustabU?
still valued life.
"Is it safe?" he gawped "such a sea,
such a small boat and only a lad to man
age it! You two fellows might come with
me; be good-natured, and see me safe ou
dry kind agninl"
They laughed at his piteous appeal. "1
don't mind," said the younger one, "if
Ho th well likes to cine. It' our jming
friend will put us oil again. I shouldn't
mind going wirh you aud seeing ou on
the ri-ht way home."
ltottliwell consented. Tluy pave their
captain instructions to stund off and oil
nu-til they signaled him; then I drew the
boat lose ahng.-ile, and, watching their
cbonee, tliey bundled In Mr. DmistaMe,
who immediately sub-i if 1 - a breathing,
but inanimate mass of matter, in the sieni
sheets, juiiied in after liiui, hoisted sail,
end away we went.
It was not until we ran into the 1 :-
;ii,dy buy, where, at tiije expense of t
et, we drew my boat fip, and. ej'uctod
J- "W"'; t I
was able to tiud tiui.tjO look projV-Iy at
my passengers. They were both good
looking men, bronzed with wind and sun.
Itoth wore serviceable yachting suits,
meant for work and comfort, uot show.
Even iih my contracted knowledge I
mKz"l tliey were gentU-iuen. The el!er
may have bc-n about forty-live years i f
ag, 'ii friend some ten years younger.
Mr. Dunstable I do not attempt to de
scribe, us it would be unfair under his
present disadvantageous circumstances.
The (Hir mau was still ulinoKt without
life or motion. Mr. Dunstable's friends
f.dd me tliey hud left llfracombe early
that -Homing for a run up Che channel.
The sea had risen since they had Mart.it.
ond the MMr gentleman's suffi-rings had
hewn fo acute that he had begged, even
commanded, that tliey should land him at
the first plm-v they could, no matter
- where, or how far from civilization.
"And now," said the elder of the two,
whose n-.ime I knew was Kothwell,
"what's to le done? Dunstable isn't in
walking trim. Can we get a conveyance
anywlit re?"
When I was on the sea, with the tiller
t3 my hand, I felt almost a man, and
.poke accordingly. Now, on shore, I was
a shy boy again: but I managed to tell
them they were three miles from the main
road. Farmer Lee, our nearest neighbor,
who owned such a tiling as a gig. liv.il
about four miles otf. They heard my news
with dismay.
"There must be some way out of this."
said Mr. Itothwell. "How do they get
to the house just above?"
The mention of our house reminded me
of the rights of hospitality. "That is our
house, ' I said, "but there is no road to it,
only a bridle path. If you wouldn't mind
coming up to it. Mr. Dunstable can lie
down for an hour or two and getter bet
ter, then he can have my iny, and I will
bow him the way to go."
Feeling quite proud of my unexpected
piewtii, 1 turned up the valley. They
each gave Dunwtable an arm and follow
ed me. As we n eared the house the elder
aid: "You had better know what names
to present us to your father by mine is
KorhweH."
"An! mine is Stanton." said Ms com
panion, "and this is Mr. Dunstable of the
AllMiny, a very amusing, high-spirited
genii. -nan when quite himself."
"My name is Norris," I said, seeing that
they looked at me inquiringly.
I conducted them to our house, sum
moned tJie housekeeper, and placed Mr.
Duns'able uudor her care to show him to
a roo.n where he could lie down and sleep
away his sufferings. My father was, as
usual, in his library. I begged my guests
to le seated and I would call him. lse
fore I could do so, the door opened, and
Le entered. I just began: "This is Mr.
Kothwell and Mr. Stanton, who " when
the former gentleman stepped quickly for
ward, with signs of great awtonishmei(
on his face, ami both his hands eiteuled
toward my father.
"You!" I h.-nrd him say as he crossed
the room. "Yon, of all people. In this
lonely place! How I have sought you for
--ars and years!" J
my fattier oetrayea no sign or rec
on. lie drew himself np to his full
tiit and moved neither hand nor foot,
j'he ( surprise caused by his visitor'
sTatYge greeting soon fa4ld from his face
and was succeeded by a faint smile.
"You are mistaking me for some orw
eW. I think," he said, calmly.
Mr. ltothweH appeared quite staggered
by his reply. He looked my father full in
the face for a couple of seconds. "I can
not tie mistaken; you are greatly changed,
k Is true; but H is so long since we hav
met! You are, you must be, the man I
meant But do you not remember me? Do
you not know me? I am Roth well."
My father made a courtly bow. "I knew
fx.rd Rothwell by name and by his clever
books of travel, and am pleased to see so
'nous a person beneath my roof."
"tiwell looked very dissatisfied,

share of the conversation fell upon Stan
ton, a s Iiord Ruth well seemed uioody,
ill at ease and suspicious. Wine anil
cigars were offered the visitors, and a
couple of hours parsed rapidly.
"We must" think about going," said
Stanton. "The tide will soon be running
np Strang, and we shall scs-jely get to our
anchorage to-night, unless we start now."
Iird ltothweU agreed, and they pre
pared to walk down to the sea and signal
the yacht. They thanked my father po
litely, and again apologized for the trouble
Kt Dunstable waa giving oa,
"Not at all." ausweriil my lallier. "ll
he will slay here to-night, so much tin
better. I'liiiip shall see him safely cu h
way to-inorro w."
They rose to depart Rtanton shook tnj
father's hand Lrfrt-d Rothwell followed
his example. His lordship had a strong,
large, brown hand, and I was noticing
how white and thin my father's fingers
looked in his. I saw the brown grip dose
tightly; and then Lord Rothwell, in spite
of an effort of my father s to release nttn
Bolf. bent over, and for a moment, I fnn-ci.-d,
was going to kiss the hand with i u
his own. Rut it was not so he looked
nt it closely for a second, then, releasing
it, said, (irmly and gravely, "Mr. Norris,
1 must have the pleasure of a few min
utes' conversation with you alone."
My father lamed. "Certainly, If it Is
your wish, I must submit. Kindly follow
me." And the two men went across the
hall and entered the library.
Whatever Iird Rothwell had to sny.
or whether my father listened willingly or
unwillingly, the few minutes lasted al
most hours. So long that Mr. Stautou
grew quite disgusted at the deiay ill get
ting off. prophesying t'hat they would have
to spend the night in the oen channel.
To pass the time away, we wandered
round the garden, up the valley, and final
ly down to the beach. The yacht was
beating alniut in the distance, the crew
iloubtl.s as impatient to be off n Mr.
Stanton himself. That gen-rleman threw
stones in the water disconsolately. Final
ly I-aii-d Rothwefi uud uiy father emerged
from the gate.
' They were talking earnestly, as they
i came down the path. Rothwell looked to
me as if he were making some appeal to
; my father, who shook his head sudly sev-
' eral times.
"Is lrd Rothwell married?" asked I
of Mr. Stanton, before they came within
eurs-hot.
;Mirried! No! He's never been nt
home long enough to get married. I rhink
he's -h'sTtprxonted in Jove, as they call it;
but it was before I knew him."
Reiire he lent his aid to launch the boat
Lord Rothwell laid his hand on my shoul
der, and looking at me almost affection
ately, said: "I have been trying to per
suade your father to let you go for a
cruise wirh me a good long cruise; but he
eiiys he cannot simre you."
My heart leaiied at the delightful idea.
I and I turned eagerly to my farher.
"No," he said, "I cannot spare the boy
not yet."
As we neared the yacht his lordship
turned to me: "Whenever you come to
Io!ilou call on me, my boy. I should Like
to see you if I hajieti to be at home. My
address will always be known to my
bankers. Messrs. Courts write that name
down whe. you get back. Don't forget
to come."
I promised olndience, but saw at pres
ent little chance of keeping my promise.
Then we got aKng;le the yacht, and
rfter lordiaJly shaking my bond tbe two
men sprang on board, and in a minute
three hundred yards of green water sep
arated us.
As I never saw Mr. Dunstable, except
on this occasirtl, I need ouJy say that
shortly after my return he made his ap-
pearance quite restored to health. He
readily agreed to stay the night, and the
next morning we trudged up the hills,
across the moor, until we got hold of a
light rpring cart, which no doubt in due
time safely deposited him at Lynton.
I found my father did not seem tis
p.cd to talk upon Uhe subject of Lord
Rothwell and his friends. Indeed, he dis
played so Krtle interest in the matter that
I soon gave up speaking of it, and my Hfe
continued to run on in its accustomed
CHAPTER II.
The chance visit of tie yachtsmen ex
ercised an Influence upon me. If for some
time longer my life was the same out
wardly, a great change was at work with
in me. 1 date it from the moment that I
saw the white sails of the schooner filling
out and bearing my new friends away
away to other scenes, other lands, it may
be. Then it was, 1 think, I began to
realize the solitude and strangeness of
my lot to wonder why 1 should be bound
to one Bin alii neglected spot of earth, and
whether such a state of things must lat
forever.
September was with us now. One even
ing 1 was sitting with my farher, who was
at the piano. He would play for hours,
while I read and listened at Intervals.
The dark, drifting skies, the sound of tbe
wind and sea, the pathetic music seemed
to completely overpower me, and all my
thoughts and cravings culminated and ex
pressed themselves in a burst of passion
ate sobs. I felt thoroughly ashamed of
my breakdown, but I could not help it.
My farher was at my side in a moment.
He put hts arms round me. "My boy,
what is it? What is the ni after?" be
cried.
"Let ns go away! Let n leave this
horrible place," I sobbed. "If we don't, I
shall die or go mad."
"Wait a moment, Philip," he said. "Let
ns have lights, then we can talk about it
all."
I soon recovered myself In a great meas
ure. My hysterical sobs ceased. The
::-lit. no doubt, drove away my despon
dency. I I ..can to ..el ashamed of my
outburst, ert n in attempting to meet his
eyes with a smile. He looked at me
gravely and sadly.
"You are unhappy, Philip, I have no
r od it for some time, but I have been
selfish, and hoiied it would pass away for
flie present. Tell me what you wish, my
boy."
"I am happy with you," I answered,
"iM-cause I love you; but, oh, father, I am
so lonely and wretched at times."
"You want to see other faces, make
friends and companions of those of your
own nge? Don't be afraid to tell me, I
am not angry."
Rut he w as sorrowful. I could see it,
yet I rould not help repeating: "I am so
lonely." He laid his hand on my shoul-.I.-r.
"Yes, I have been wrong," be said,
dreamily. "Rothwell told me so, and pre-lii-ted
this, but I fancied you were kt
haps different from others had enough of

the world. You shall leave me, but yon
will forgive me, my boy?"
"But you will come, too," I cried aghast.
He smiled almost wearily. "No, my
home is chosen; it is here."
The look against which I knew there
waa no apiieal crossed his face. "I shall
never ret foot in London again," he said.
"You will have your desire. Philip; and i
separation from me grieves you, it wi.l
trach you the lesson early that no desire
fulfilled approaches expectation. Siue
ifring always mars it more or less. ?Xo'.v,
my boy," he added, kindly, "say no hiosre.
Wish me good-night, and sleep if you van.
To-morrow I will arrange everythinf;."
I wis busy aH next day packing 4t was
such a new experience that I liugejfed over
it lovingly, although the aiuoiuy of lug

my box was packed.
"I shall give you lette'r to Mr. Grace,
my solicitor, H. will look after you and
take care oZ you. He is' under some ob
ligations to me, so you need not be afraid
of trespassing on him."
I received my letter and an ample sup
ply of money before we parted for the
night. I bade my father good-by then,
thinking I should Hot see him in the
morning; but early as the hour was, he
waa up, breakfasted with me. I reached
Lyiunoufh in good time, and safely ooard
ed the steamer bound for Bristol.
At the capital of Jhe West I had a cou
ple of hours to wait, and then I took the
train for London The fierce rush of the
mighty engine oa and on through the
dark night, the flying telegraph poles seen
dimly, the sparks scattere-l on either side
as we sited on, the ghost-like double of
myttdf sitting in tbe phantom carnage
which always ran side by side with us
all thfse were to me such absolute novel
ties that no traveler yet ever found the
journey less wearisome and shorter than
I did. I did not attempt to realize the
magnitude of Paddington I contented
my self with following my instructions to
the letter in calling for a porter, telling
hi in to find my box and see me safely in
stalled in a cab, whose driver was direct
ed to hape his course to Russell Square.
In less tli an half an hour the cab stop
ped, and I laid a vigorous hand upon the
knocker of a door. A resectable looking
man servant answered my summons. lie
informed me that Mr. Grace was at home,
and showed me into a small room. Very
soon Mr. Grace apeared a poetly, close
shaven gentleman, with a dignified ap-IH-arauce,
but kind look; a mau of sixty
or sixty-five years of age. He gave me a
quick, inquisitive glance through his spec
tacles, bowed and waited my commands.
"Will you please read this letter?" I
said, handing him the introductory lines.
He broke the seal, glau'.-ed, naturally,
first at the signature, aim Jifu looked at
me with unmistakable interest. Several
times during the perusal of the epistle he
turned and looked : f. me. Then be folded
the letter, placed itt.rarefuHy in his breast
IHcket aud shook me cordially by the
hand.
"Mr. Philip." he said, "I am extremc-ly
glad to see you, and in saying extremely
glad I mean glad to the extreme. Indeed,
I may add there ist no young gentleman
in the world whofhj acquaintance I was
more anxious to mslke."
He led me npstal rs to a large drawing
room, heavily and lbandsoaierj- furnished.
A lady about his oTj age waa tthere, knit
ting busily.
"My dear," he iieid, rather ceremoni
ously, "this is Mr. ltiilip Noris, the son
of an old friend an-ll client of mine, whose
name you have oftlen heard me mention."
I began to blush 'and wonder If my ap
pearance was so terribly b R.riHh aud
countrified.
Mrs. Grace greet -ed me kindy, but look
ed at me with an trven more evident curi
osity than her precise husband had shown.
"Mr. Philip, my dear," cor tinned Mr.
Grace, "has Kved; as I believe you know,
ail his life In gresvt seclusion I may say,
utter Utude, wijth the exception of his
father's company-'-in a romantic valley on
the D?von coast.''"
"Poor boy! Yoang people oiight to mix
with young people. We must lay dowu
a program for hiu. The first item in my
program must be wupper, the Bi-oud, bed,"
said the kind lady. "The boy looks tired
to death." -' 1
I made a heart-y supper and went tj
rest, longing for aborning and the wonders
it would bring. The only things on my
mind were the pictured loneliness of my
father and tbe curiosity my -appearance
seemed to excite. , Yet, as I lo ked at my
self in the long nairror, I fanr.-ied I was
neither an ill-loolnng nor altogether un
presentable youth.

Electrical Power In America.
John Bogart, one of the American
engineers connected with the work of
completing the Niagara Falls electrical
power works, gives to tbe Pall MaK
Oaxette of London some Interesting
facts In regard to electrical power In
America. The Niagara company fur
nisher, an electrical horse-power of 15,
000 with a cpaclty for 40,000, and pos
slbilitles of Increasing to any extent
needed. The works cost $9,o7lO,ono, It
having been necessary to construct a
tunnel 7.000 feet long at a considera
ble depth and through solid rock. Of
the utility of the work the fact that
Buffalo and Niagara City are supplied
at the rate of $20 per horse-power er
annum, while In some cases nearly
$100 per horse-power has been paid, is
sufficient evidence. Next to tbe electri
cal works at Niagara are those at fault
Ste. Marie, and according to Mr. Bogart
the greatest of all are In construction
about sixty miles from Montreal, near
the town of Masaena, N. Y., close to
the St Lawrence River. The power
will be obtained from a tr"
feet between Lb'
the St- Lawrcno
placid stre-'
A canal of a little more than three
milt a In length la In process of con
struction and when the works are
completed a total of 75.000 electrical
horse-power can be furnished. It seems
a pity that the attention of engineers
had not sooner been directed to this
point on the St Lawrence, ns In thai
case probably the vicinity of Niagara
Falls would not have been given over
to manufacturing and thus become a
(Trent Industrial center, as It will In
the not distant future.

An Atchison man who visited In
western Kansas recently found the
family sleeping without pillow cases,
and using a tin bucket for a teapot. He
expressed his surprise and was told
that the banks of that country refused
to take any more money on deposit
and they were keeping theirs In the pil
low cases and teapot. Tbe family were
much worried for fear that when the
corn and cattle are sold, they will have
to take off their socks and stockings to

has adopted the American style of

times hia manners would put theirs to
shame. He is devotee to his mother,

The up-to-date churches now employ
a church maid. One who enters a sanc

a slender figure In a plain black gown
with cape and apron moving around
among the pews. She la, perhaps, dust

She will, however, come forward, an

sexton, tell you the minister's hours or
advise you to whom yon should apply
for other Information than she may bej
able to give. It Is a part of her duty
to remain respectfully near visitors, for
strangers have been known to "lift"
anything that strikes their fancy and

and rrophet, did bis best for the peoiltf
his time, and then went and lay down on
the southern hill of Jerusalem hi that sound
slumber wlileh nothing but an archangelie
blast can startle. There are about four
unnerntions to a century, now; but In olden
time life wns longer, and there was, per
haps, ouJy one generation to a century.
Taking these facts Into the calculation, I
make a rough guess and say ttint there
have been at leait 1H0 generations of the
human family. With reference to them we
have no responsibility. We cannot teach
them, we cannot correct their mistakes, we
cannot soothe theirsorrows, we cannot heal
heir wounds. 9
"I admit that I am la sympathy with the
r child whose father had suddenly died, and
who. In her little evening prayer, wanted
to continue to pray for her father, although
he had gone into heaven and no more
needed her prayers, and looking up Into
her mother's face, said: 'Oh. mother, I
cannot leave him all out. Let me say.
"Thank Ood that I hnd a good father once,
so I can keep him in my prayers." ' But
the 180 generations have pa-wed off. Passed
np. Passed down. Gone forever. Then
there are generations to come after our
earthly existence has ceased; we shall not
see them; wn shall not hear any of their
voices; we will take no part In their convo
cations, their elections, their revolutions,
their catastrophes, their triumph. We
will in nowis affect the 1H0 generations
gone or the ISO generations to come, lint
our business is, like David, to serve our
own generation; tho people now living,
those whose lungs now breath and whose
hearts now beat. And, mark you, it Is not
a silent proeession, but moving. It Is a
'forced mareh,' at twenty-four miles a day.
each hour being a mile. Going with that
celerity, it bos got to be a ipiick service on
our part or no service at all.
"Well, now, let us look around earnest
ly, prayerfully, in a common-sense way,
and see what we can do for ourgeiicraiion.
First of all, let us see to it that, as far as
we can, thoy have enough to eat. Tho
human body is so constituted that three
times a day a body needs food as much ns
a lamp needs oil, as much as a locomotive
needs fuel. To meet this want God has
girdled the earth with apple orchards,
orange groves, wheat fields, and oceans full
of fish, and prairies full of cattle. Anil
notwithstanding this, I will undertake to
say that the vast majority of tho human
family are suffering either for lack of food
or the right kind of food. Our civiliza
tion Is all askew, and God only can set it
right. Mauyoftlie greatest estates of to
day have been built out ot the blood aud
bones of uniequited toil.

miserable they are tempted to put into their
nasty pipes what tho tobacconist calls to
bacco, or go into the drinking saloons for
what the rumsellers call beer. Good coffee
would do much in driving out rum.
"How can we serve our generation with
enough to eat?" lly sitting down in em
broidered slippers and loungiug back in anJ
rm chair, our moutli puckered up around
a Havana of the best brand, and through
clouds of luxuriant smoke reading about
political economy and the philosophy of
strikes? No! No! l!y finding out who iu
this city bas been living on gristle, and
sending them a tenderloiu beefsteak. Seek
out some family who. through sickness or
conjunction of misfortune, have not eftough
to eat, and do for them what Christ did for
the hungry multitudes of Asia Minor, mul
tiplying the loaves and the fishes. Let us
quit the surfeiting of ourselves until we
cannot cnoke down nnotner crumo oi caKe,
and begin the supply of others' necessi
ties It is an awful thing to be hungry," said
the preacher. "It Is an easy thing for ns
to be in good humor with all the world
when we have no lack, llut let Hunger
take full possession of us, and we would all
turn into barnarians ana canniuais ana
tlends. Suppose thnt some of the energy
we are expending in useless and unavailing
talk about the bread question should heex-
pended in merciful nlleviattons. 1 nave
read that tbe battlefield on which more
troops met than on any other In the
world's liistory was the battlelluld of Leip-
sic 160,000 men under Napoleon; 230.000
men under Schwarzeberg. No! No! The
greatest and most territlc battle is now be
ing fought all the world over. It Is the
struggle for food. The ground tone of the
finest passage in one ot ttie great musical
masterpieces, the artist says, was suggest
ed to him by the cry of the hungry popu
lace of Vienna, as trio King roue tnrougn
and tbey shouted: 'Bread! Give us bread!'
And all through the great harmonies of
musical academy and cathedral I hear the
the pa'.hos, the ground tone, the tragedy
of uncounted multitudes, who, with stream
ing eyes and wan cheeks and broken hearts,
in behalf of themselves and their families,
are pleading for bread.
"Let us take another look around to see
how we may serve our generation. Let us
see. as far as possible, that they have
enough to wear."
Tho preacher dilated upon the curse or
drunkenness and idleness, causing the
maelstrom that has swallowed dowu the
livelihood of those who are in rage, but
things will change, and by generosity ou
the part of the crowded wardrobes, ami In
dustry and sobriety on the party of the
empty wardrobes, there will be enough for
all to wear.
"God has done His part toward the dressy
Ing of the human race. He grows n sur-
plus of wool on the sheep's back, and flocks
roam the mountains and valleys with a
burden of wnrmth, intended for transfer
ence to human comfort when the shu.tles
of the factories reaching all the way from
Chattahoochee to the Jlerrimae, shall have

"Again, let us look around nnd see how
we may serve our generat ion. What short
sighted mortals we would be If we were
anxious to clothe and teed only thi most
insignitlcant part of u man, namely, his

'I confess to you that my one wish is to
serve this generation, not to antagonize It,
not to damage it, not to rule it. but to serve
It. I would like to do something toward
helping unstrap its load, to stop its tears,
to balsam its wounds, and to induce it to
put foot on the upward road that has at its
terminus acclamation rapturous, and gates
pearly, and garlands amaranthine, and
fountains rainbowed, and dominions en
throned and coroneted. for I cannot forget
that lullaby In the closing words ot my
text: 'David, after he had served his own
generation by the will of God, fell on sleep.'
What a lovely sleep It wasl Unlllial Absa
lom did not trouble it. Ambitions Adonijah
did not worrv it. Persecuting Saul did not
harrow it. Exile did not till it with night
mare. Since a red-hended boy, amid his
father's flocks at night, he bad not had
such a good sleep. At seventy years of ago
he lay down to it. He had had many a
troubled sleep, as In his caverns of Adul
lam, or in the palace nt the time his enemies
were attempting his capture. liut this was
a peaceful sleep, a calm sleep, a restful
sleep a glorious sleep 'After he had ,
served his generation by tbe will of God, ne :
fell on sleep.
"Oh, what a good thing Is sleep after a
hard day's work! It takes all the aching
out of the head, ami all the weariness out
of the limbs, and all the smarting out of the
eyes. From It we rise in the morning, and
it is a new world. And if we, like David,
serve our generation, we will at life's close
have most desirable and refreshing sleep.
In It will vanish our last fatigue of body,
our last worriment of mind, ourlast sorrow
of soul. To the Christian's body that was
hot with raging fevers, so that the attend
ants must by sheer force keep on the blank
ets, it will be the eool sleep. To those who
are thin-blooded and shivering with agues,
it will be the warm sleep. To those who.
because of physical disorders, were terrilled
with night visions, it will be to the dream
less sleep. To nurses and doctors anil
mothers who were wakened almost every
hour of the night by those to whom thev
mlnUtored, or over whom they watched, it
will be the undisturbed sleep. To those
who could not get to bed till late at night,
and must rise early in the morning, and be
fore getting reftod, it will be the long
sleep.
"A way with all your gloomy talk about
departing from this world! If we have
served our generation it will not be put
ting out into the breakers: it will not lie
the light with the King of Terrors; it will
be going to sleep. A friend, writing me
from Illinois, says that Itev. Dr. Wingnte.
President of Waite Forest College, North
Carolina, after a most useful life, found
his last day on earth his liappist day. and
that in his last moments he seemed to lie
personally talking with Christ, as friend
with friend, saying: 'Oh, how delightful
it is! I knew you would be with me when
the time came, and I knew it would be
sweet, but I did not know it wow 1 4 be as
sweet as it is.' Tiie fact was, he had
served his generation in the gospel min
istry, nnd by the will of God he fell asleep.
When in Africa, Majwara, the servant,
looked Into the tent of David Livingstone,
and found him on his knees, ho stepped
back, not wishing to disturb him in prayer,
and some time after went in and found
him in the same posture, and stepped back
again: but after awhile, went in nnd
touched him, and, lo! the great traveler
had finished his last journey, and he had
died in the grandest and mightiest posture
a man ever takes on his knees. He had
served his generation by unrolling tlie
scroll of a continent, nnd by the will of
God fell on sleep. In tho museum of
Greenwich, England, there is a fragment
of a book that was found on the arctic
regions, amid the relics of Sir John Frank

tory and a pillowed slumber, canopied by

Yon nnd I have sometimes been thoroughly
bewildered after a long and fatiguing
journey we have stopped at a friend's

faces, nnd iH-fore we could fully collect our
faculties, have salfl: 'Where am I; whose
house is this, anil whose are these gar
dens?' And, thent it has flashed upon us
in glad reality.
"Aud I slioulj not wonder if, after we
have served our generation, and. by the -will
of God, havf fallen on sleep, the deep
