Of Winter hale and hoar.
Who crouch beside the back-log's slow,

Till each vein tingles warm
Die while he drives along the west
The horses of the storm!
Not theirs the snows ss soft as sleep

N'or the oracular silence deep
Within the druld wood!
Not theirs by night, undlmmcd. to mark
The spangles of the Dear:
Nor through the dark from arc to arc
The pale auroras flare!
Not theirs to share the proffered part
Of wealth he holds In store;
Not theirs to know the constant heart
Of Winter hale and honr!

WHEN RETRIBUTION CAME
TO CAIN
By Wulkor Kennedy
IN brooded all the afternoon in
the secluded hollow among the
lulls, Iicside him lay Ins brother, so
fair, so beautiful, so still that a wintry
' coldness crept through his own body
1 at the thought of hirn. Sometimes an
awo fell upon him nt Abel's failure to
answer his angry questions, nnd he
grew wild at his obstinacy. But Abel
would awake. He must awake. Cain
would wait until speech came back to
the bluish lips. And so he lingered, al
ternately thrilled with horror at the
change lie had wrought in his brother;
then nervous with rage ot the tender
life he had so cruelly marred.
The sun sank toward the sky line.
Its heat bent secthingly upon the rock
which walled the lonely glen. The sky
ubove was lovingly blue. Ills broth
er's flocks grazed in pence upon the
hillside, suspecting nothing. 11a. k of
thehillstbemountainslifted high their
aerial diadems. The sun sank lower,
and evening was coming on. How sad
the motionless palm trees looked!
Something was gone. Ifo must awake
his brother. Now that tho madness
had died out of him, his heart grew
warm toward Abel. They would go
home laughing together.
"Awake, my brother, awake," he said.
"Why dost thou trouble me tlius? 1 will
nener deal with thee so again. Come, I
will help theo derive thy flock home.
Be not so still, Abel, but let me hear
thy laugh."
But the dead spake not, Tbe blue
evs continued to look bevond him at
tremor of life ran through the white
, n i v i
limbs of the stricken man. Cainy&hook
him gently, and then with passionate
vigor, but the pallid body lay limp In
bis arms, nnd ho knew that his brother
had gone before him, leaving but this
silent, semblance behind. Hut whither
had he gono, and what was It that had
gone?
Fenr entered his heart like a knife.
The sun hnd sunk low, burning its
, fires to a lambent blue the other side
of the hills. Tbe birds sang plaintive
! It in the twilight; and then (mother
sound fell uoti his ears, filling him
with speechless dread.
' The sheep upon the hillside were
ideating for their shepherd.
i,nt should we do? He went to the
,
month of the glen and looked out upou
the plain. Yonder In the distance wns
the habitation of his father and moth
er. He shuddered at the sight of it.
As ono who walks in his sleep he left
the glen and was making his way
down the hillside, when a ipjestion was
whispered to him:
"Where is Abel, thy brother?"
And before he thought, he answered
aloud:
"1 know not; am I my brother's
keeper 7"
Then he glanced about to see to
whom he had made reply. Had he an
swered the evening wind, or yon
der golden-dyed cloud, or some spirit
of the mysterious hills?
He could not tell, for no one was there,
no shadow even of a presence. Hut that
question stirred the depths of his be
ing, and he knew that wheuhe returned
to bis father and mother they, too,
would ask Wim what of his brother. A
ctorm of madness came upon him.
Ahead of him lay the Land of Host,
through which ran the river that
Sings, Never more could he go that
way. NeTer more could he meet his
mother's eyes; never more lay down in
his father's tent.
And so, forsaking the beaten track,
1 he fled, around the hills, scrambling
j from rock to rock, from brake to brake,
striving nt every step to place behind
him the Land of Kest. He came to a
pass that ran along the brow of a
precipice, and he lied into a grewsome
defile which rounde into the haggard
and stony recesses of the hills until
it seamed lost, and he was cut from
sight of that hated Land of Peace.
The stars flickered in the silvery veil
of the twilight, and he flew as one ac
cursed. Thorny shrubs, prickly vines
an(' t"'atHng cacti lacerated his bare
limbs, and with blood trickling from
a hundred smarting wounds and a fury
of escape in his brain, he fled like some
f renzied animal pursued by fearful foes.
Angry mountain streams tried to
thwart his progress, but he plunged
recklessly through their cold waters.
Hissing cataracts impeded his way, but
he dashed blindly into their seething
spume, and climbed over their slip
pery, moss-covered basins. Nothing
held him, nothing ..frightened him,
; nothing daunted him. It was what was
left behind that caused that terror in
his heart; the dangers and darknesses
ahead were a joy to him.
Deeper and deeper he went into the
umknown. ways of tbe hills, faring
Ions dizzy abyMM And sleek: SaXnt
till nlg-ht came upon him, yet gate him
co pause. lie was grateful for being
cow in the blessed land of shadows.
Ere long luminous eyeballs gleamed
linnr. him aa he mihd on ward, hut the
madness In his veins repelled them, 1 "What is It I fee! toward thee?" he
nnd he could see them fleeing in an- I aiJ f,r 1J,tIe while- "II is Bome

the grass paled nt his. presence, and the
0 1
songbirds of the night were silent as
his feet went scurrying through the
gross. It seemed to his shivering soul
that all nature looked upon him as a
ftarful thing a thing exiled and ac
cursed
Then the moor, eame ..n, and the
leaping cascades nnd angry mountain
streams glowed pallidly. Livid mists
nf o-rcn flams roe from th earth
and suffocated the forest ways. But
the tortured man kept on, for rest was
not in his soul; only the passion for
ilight. And all the while he was go
ing upward and toward the far line
that marked the mountain tope where
they met the sky.
Steep and rugged was the way, and
I he knew not what was beyond. The
great trees fell off, and a thin, starved
growth succeeded; then n wilderness of
jagged stones, bare of aught save lichen
embroideries. But he passed on swift
ly, a racing shadow, knowing no fa
tigue, no pain, until he reached the
top of the ridge; and there he paused
and looked ahead of him, at the star
1
first, and then nt what lay at his feet
The mountain sloped down into what
seemed to him a cloudy void; and now
the impulse thAt had taken him up
ward took him down the sides of the
hills. He felt that he had put a bar
rier between himself ntxl the Land of
Ik-M, and gradually there stole upon
him a sense of dreamy fatigue; yet he
proceeded downward, untjl he saw
lights gleaming nt Intervals on the
plain.
He stopped beside a tiny rill of water
to refresh himself. A bank of moss, un
der a large acacia tree, invited him to
rest. He kneeled dowu and quenched
li is thirst from the clear, trickling
stream; nnd ulmost as a tired child, he
dropped upon the mossy bank. Then
merciful sleep blotted out the crime
of the first murderer.
He slept until fur into the coming
day. Once a lion eame to the stream
to drink, sniffed at the heavily-sleeping
man, and then in a hangdog way de
parted. Some noisy birds flitted about
him on a tour of inspection, and with
drew, chirping excitedly, to their fa
vorite tree. Hut he lay tljere, brawn--ily,
wildly beautiful, and slept as if he
had never slopt before. Toward the
evening there came one, half affrighted,
who put an end to his slumber. lie
awoke at the call of a voice, and looked
tup to find a woman bending anxiously
over him.
"My mother," ho murmured, half s
dream. "Nay, not thy mother," answered the
swept voice of the woman, as she drew
back timorously, yet laughing shyly.
He raised himself and looked at her,
looked anxiously, wonderingly nt her
white and rounded beauty. XevcT had
he seen aught like her, though her
eyes spoke to him of tho brother whom
he had loved and slain. Hut a certain
sadness haunted those eyes and twined
itself in a shadowy way around her
mouth; and, nt liis eager gaze, a blush
came into her face and spread itself
in pale rose waves over her face nnd
neck.
"Do not flee from me as all things
else flee. Hide here awhile that 1 may
look irt one who seems kind. Let me
breathe this unknown sweetnesa and
help me drive thi6 heaviness from my
heart."
"Thou luist come from afar country,"
she ventured to 6ay, reaseured.
"Knowest thou 6uch a place as the
Land of Hest? Thence I came."
"1 know it not. It must be-across the
Hills of the Sky, which none of our
people have ever ascended."
"I seek the Laud of the Forgotten.
May this be it?"
"Nay, this is the Land of Wander
ing." "Then it is here, perchance, that 1
must spend my life."
He burled his face in his hands and
mused; and the woman, seeing him
thus in reverie, slipped noiselessly
away, as if she would escape his pres
ence: 6he hnd not gone far down the
stream when he gave a cry that
brought Caiu wondering tohis feet. He
hnd thought flint she was still beside
him, but to bis surprise he beheld her
at some distance, nnd in deadly peril.
A great bowlder, loosened by some
action of the wind or water from its
place higher up the mountain, was
rolling slowly downward, its passage
retarded now nnd then by a stout sap
ling or nu outcropping scrap of rock.
Each impediment gave way before
it, and in a few moments it must reach
the spot where the woman, paralyzed
with fear beyond all power of motion,
stood directly in its path. The sight
brought back to Coin that same resist
less fury which had come to him when
he had slain his brother.
He was on his feet instantly, but he
could not reach her in time, for she was
too far down the rnvine the bowlder
was nearer. Thrilling with a new and
imperious emotion, he sprang with a
lithe leap ncross nn intervening ledge
to where the bowlder hung for a mo-
ment held back by a gnarled fir, and, !
instantaneously nnd unflinchingly set- I blood, mnde rich by a judicious admix

The huge brown mass, swayed thus
out of its bnlance, turned from its
course and went plunging downward
upon a new track, tearing it wild way
through brush and brambles, but leav
ing the crouching woman safe to one
aide. Aa the thunder of Its descent
echoed sororously up from the far deeps
af the ralley, Cain, with a treaulous 1
ry of Joy to her whom be bad tared,
fel faint and quivering upon the sward.
When he opened his eyes the woman
knelt beside him, staunching a cut on
hia shoulder and touching hi face with
1 her soft hands
,Thou can!rt not -eIart from me again.
, -t f 3 1 . 1 1, T 1... -1 O V-
Why, indeed, should I let thee go? Is
there not strength enough left in the
onus of Cain to hold so frail o thing ns
thou? But no; thou disiirniest me with
thine eyes."
The woman looked lovingly upon his
beauty nnd his strength, and sa
; Boftly: "whnt would thou have of
I m?"
' know not I know not, he said.
I helplessly, as one who longs, but longs
for what he knows not. Then the dark
ness wna made clear in his mind and he
thus concluded: "As my mother is to
my father, so be thou to me."
Though a woman, he knew she was
not as his mother. Ileautiful nnshe was,
he felt that there was something in her
that corres-poncicd with the fatal flaw
in himself. Yet this did not repel him.
It lacked some time of the fulling of
night when they descended into the
plain, whose lori,' grass waved mysteri
ously in the pale twilight, and, band in
hand, wandered until they beheld the
outlines of a city with temples nnd tow
j i .1 i i i . . v. -

kv. To him this was n wonder; but
she told him it was there she lived, and
thither he must go with her and no
harm would befall him.
And thero he- found toil that helped
him forget awhile that deed in the
lonely glen in the Land of Hest. And
she who had led him into the Land of
Wandering became his wife. Of that
union were born two sons, nnd, when
Cain liKiked npon them, his soul often
grew wck within him, for one was like
unto himself, and the other wns Abel
come back to life again. Strange to
1 say, he loved the fair-haired boy with
aurpassing tenderness, and the sight
I of the dark-browed youth was almost
hateful to him. And Adah, his wife,
I loved the laughing, blue-eyed loy, too,
nnd saw In him the beautiful dream of a
mother's love come true.
And Cain waxed very prosperous.
II is great strength, derived from tbe
wild woods, served him well in the be
ginning. This begot skill, and, after
that, there came to him the sense of
power over other raen. In the coune
of time he became chieftain over the
Shadowy City. Despite the crime that
hnd sttnined his soul, he had attained
everything that the heart, could desire,
and be knew that he had mastered the
wild demon within that had once risen
and slain his brother. Could it be, he
wondered, that he had done no wrong
at all?
One evening he had held a revel In
his palnce in honor of the councilors of
the city. In ma.Tniflcenoe it had sur
passed anything of the kind ever given
by a chieftain, nnd It wus late before
the guests had departed. Cain hnd dis
missed his slaves until the morrow, nnd
he sot alone in the banquet-room medi
tating upon the splendor nbout him,
and almost doubting the reality of the
honors that had come upon him. Hut
many aa they were, he knew that they
('id nut satisfy his SOUl, for deep rOWTJ
In his heart was ever a gnnwing wish
for a word out of the old days and for a
glimps of that secluded hollow in the
Land of ilest beyond the Hilla of the
Sky. Even in the moments of his high
est triumphsi the rooks and trees of
that glen would come waverlngljf be
fore his eyes.
While he tait thus moodily dreaming
at the table, a young man entered the
apartment noisily and stood before
him. He hnd evidently been under the
impression that the hall was deserted,
for he quailed at sight of its. solitary oc
cupant. Somewhat abruptly lie saluted
his father, and then his tremulous hand
sought a glass, tilled with red wine,
which stood upon the table. liaising it
to his lips, he drained it to the dregs.
An unaccountable terror seised the
soul of Cain. The frown upon the
youth's brow.'the madness in his eye,
the disorderof his appearance, recalled
something from the past, and he saw
himself In the son who sitood before
him saw his old self when the demon
lived within him. Then a deadly intui
tion broke upon his mind, causing him
to rise painfully nnd demand:
"Where is thy brother?"
The father's face was white as death
while the youth hesitated, asif to evade
the question, and then said, with a
sneering laugh:
"Am I my brother's keeper?"
Intolerable pain, remorse, despair
nnd murder passed over the fnce of,
Cnin. He moved to spring upon bis son
nnd rend him to pieces, but his inten
tion was stayed; a look of intense and
hopeless ngony flitted ncross his face,
he tottered and fell dead amid the. wine
cups of the table. Saturday Evening

Based upon reloubet's Select Notes.

ixample. John 13:15.
THE SECTION Includes the whole chap
ter, together with the other accounts of the
Lord's Supper.
TIME. Thursday evening, April G. A. D
SO. The night before the crucifixion.
PLACE. An upper room In Jerusalem:
perhaps, as Edershelm thinks. In St.
Mark's house.
EXPOSITION.
1. Jesus and His Disciples Assemble
In an Upper Koom. Jerusalem, early
Thursday evening (v. 1). After the
anointing In Bethany (our last lesson 1
after sunset of Saturday (the. Jewish
Sabbath), Jesus the next morning made
His triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
nnd taught in the temple both Mondni
and Tuesday. Wednesday. April j. was
spent in retirement at Hethnny in prep
aration for the awful day of cruci
fixion. The next morning He sent two
of His disciples to the city to prepare
for the celebration of the Passover.
I 1. "Now before the feast of the prws-
over:" That Is. Immediately before;
just ns He- was about to sit down with
His disciples to the Paschal feast.
Abbott- This is simply a note of the
time nnd place. "When Jesus knew:"
He was fully conscious that His last
hours on enrth were nt hand when it
was nppointed thnt "He should depart."
the Creek expressing the net of going
over from one place or sphere to an
other. This is one reason for or condi
tion In which "He loved them unto tine
end:" "to the end of all the ages." The
word may olso mean "to the uttermost"
(margin of 1!. V.), the uttermost of His
nnture. the uttermost degree possible
to love.
II. The Strife us to Who Should He
Greatest. Luke SSiS-l-.IO. We cannot
understand the full meaningof our les
son unless we turn to Luke and read
nbout the contention among the dis
ciples, probably its they were- assem
bling It: the upper room before sitting
down to the table. It was apparently
twofold, who should be greatest, nnd
who should not be lenst, and wns n very
strange scene on the eve of the most
solemn time in nil their lives.
III. Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet.
An Object Less :i nn( Its Teachings,
Vs. 2-17. 2. "And supper being ended:"
The It. V, I- tuni c correct here, during
supper. The . riginnl phrase is, "and
supper hauug been, begun," or served.
Jesus, by wailing till supper was fully
begun, gave the disciples ample oppor
tunity to repent nnd take the lower in
stead of the better places, nnd to wash
one another's feet.
3. "Jesus knowing:" Fully conscious
that He was the Son. of Cod, with all
power and glory, to which He was soon
to return. This verse sets before us the
Infinite condescension ot Jesus, and
reenforces the lesson of the act that fol
lows. No disciple could ever claim that
he was too great, too glorious, or of too
high rank, or of too supreme power, to
do the humblest service for man.
4. "He riseth from supper:" This was
the Passover supper, not the Lord's Sup
per, which was instituted later in the
evening.
6. "Then cometh He to Simon. Peter:"
In the order of washing. "Lord, dost
Thou wash my feet?" The emphasis
lies first on thou, and then, a little
slighter, on my.
8. "If I wash thee not, thou hast no
part with me:" Cannot share my king
dom, my character, my work. Hcoause
tho first condition of disciplcship wns
submission to Christ, even when He
eonld not understand all the reasons for
the command. Because this washing
was symbolical of spiritunl cleansing,
and Peter himself understood it) so
(v. 9).
9. "Not my feet only, but also my
hands nnd my head:" If the washing
meant having a part in tho work and
character of Jesus, and being with
Jesus, ha could not have enough of n
cleansing so precious. In spite of his
errors his heart glowed with love to his
teacher. He had begun to learn his U-s
son.
10. He that is wnahed:" Bathed all
over. A different word from "to wash"
that follows, which means to wash a
part, as the hands or feet. "Necdethnot
save to wash nis feet:" The bathing
represents the new birth; the washing
the feet, the cleansing from daily Im
perfections, the daily prayer "forgive
us our debts."
13. "Ye call me Master:" Teacher,
with the definite article, the teacher.
"And Lord:" One who lias authority
over you. You accept my instruction,
and obey my commands.
14. "If I then:" The I is emphatic.
"Ye also ought to wash one nnother't
feet:" Apparently this is what they
hnd just been unwilling to do when
they first came in.
Bend here vs. 34 nnd 35.
15. "I hnve given you an example:'
A copy to be imitated, like nu archi
tect's plan, or a sculptor's model, or n
painting to be copied. "Thnt ye should
do nS I have done to you:" Imitate the
principle, the spirit, the soul of the act
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
The washing of the feet signifies that
the soul must be cleansed before one
can have part in the Kingdom of Cod
Jesus' washing the feet of Judns the
trnitor shows the wide sweep of II is
love, and the love with which His
chiurch should seek to help nnd snve
even the worst men that may enter the
fold of the church.
To this day, even in the Christian
world, one of the subtlest and the mos
common of the temptations with.which
we are assailed is the same which tried
the disciples the desire to be account
ed the greater. Base jealousy of others,
on nccount of their superior riches,
talents, honors, or social position, often
sadly mars what are otherwise lovely
Christian characters.
