The Little Cripple.
It was a bleak. cold morningin Decem-
ber, that two young men followed with the
ay to their
» respective places of business. 1'
“ Hurry up, Al. Seems to me you are tak-
ing your time, and pretty quietly too. What’s
stopped your tongue for once ?” exclaimed
one of the young men. ,
The other, putting his hand with a slight
pressure on the arm of his companion, look-
ed an instant into his eyes, then directed.
their gaze by his own to the figure ofa wo-
man just in front of them.
Slowly and cautiously she picked her
way along the ice coated pavement.
" Well,” said Al's companion in a low 5
tone, inclining his head to catch the answer.
“ Do you not see she is lame? dreadfully
so. I cannot hurry by her.” An expression.
of deep sympathy was in his eyes. _
“ Pooh !- what have you to do with that ?
If you undertake to stand guard over every
cripple you crime across, you will have a
busy time of it,” said -the~other with a con-
temptuous curl-of ’-h is ii p.
“ Hush! for shame, Louis!”
Just at this instant, as she was crossing
the curbstones, the lame girl’s crutch slipped
and she fell forward. '
- Albert sprang to her side and raised her,
asking anxiously:
“ Are you hurt i” . .
“ Only slightly,” she said. tlirowin up
her vail and turning her face to answer im.
She was by no means beautiful. Onlya
thin, pale little face, on which the traces of
suffering were plainly visible, was looking
into Albert Foster‘s. Yet never before had
a face impressed hi it as that, His whole
nature was filled will-sympathy. Turning
to her he said in an earnest tone:
“ You moot perni't me to accompany you.
It is very slippery, .tild I see you are sufl‘er—

‘ Au’impatient expression caught Albc
ear, and. turning he saw his friend standing
near.
The pole face flushed painfully. She rais-
ed her pale face imploringly, and said :
“ No—no—piease go on. I shall do very

laid, taking her hand and placing it within
his arm in a manner so decided, but so gen-
tie and respectful that the girl yielded, sim-
ply saying: ‘
“ I have only tbshort distance now.”
At the entrance of a large establishment,
a short distance fiirther on, she stopped.
Drawing her hand from his aim, she said;
" I am employed here. You have been
very kind. Few would have—.”
She hesitated, stopped, raised her eyes
filled with tears to his, and with “ thank
on,” in a trembling voice, she turned from
int and entered the store.
A few steps further on, Louis Hay ion was
waiting. As Albert came up, he said:
“ I would not make a spectacle of myself
by lugging along a dowdy littlecripple, if I
were you,Al.” ‘
“ For shame, Louis. _

“ Well, if she did, 1 think she is used to
hearing such. 'She don't expect to hear re-
marks about her grace and beauty, I guess.’, -
“ There, that will do. We will drop the
subject, if you please,” said Albert Foster,
in a tone that expressed more fully than his c
words his likens: at his QOYQBMMD’S .cmel
nature.
He remained quiet during the remainder
of their walk, ,at the end of which, with a
“ cold morning,” Albert entered his place of
business.
" Poor girl i I fear she is more injured than

Avie bent her head to hide the blush that
came with the thought, “ Who else could it"
She thought of him all day—of his gentle,
earnest manner, as he drew her hand within
his arm; his voice, so full of sympathy;
his eyes, so clear and truthful when looking
into here, so flashing and hdignant when
the cruel words of his companion reached
‘ his ear. That evening, as she stopped from
the building, supported by two of her young
friends,- she saw approaching the object of
her thoughts. For an instant she. raised her
eyes to his. She knew then that her heart
. had directed her aright, and a glad, gra’tefui
' look thanked him and assured him of the
knowledge. ,
Albert had not intended she should see
’ him; he only thought ofgetting somewhere
near, to see if the flowers had reached her.
Raising his hat he passed on. His thoughts,
however, followed the poor little “ bard,” as
he called her. Many girls, with brighter
eyes andlfairer faces passed him unnoticed

inon however. I can recallbutone'instance
in which a missionary has been robbed in
Turkey since I came here, seven years_ago,
and none in which violence has been in-
fiieted.
A few days after our friends left us, we
came from Van to Bittis. Our‘class of
preachers meets -here.this summer, and I
came to have part in teaching them. Bittis
is a smaller city than Van, perhaps about
the size ‘of Bridgeport. Two-thirds of the
inhabitants are bigoted Mobammedans, and
the other third Armenians. There is also a-
sprinkling. of Jacobite Syrians, and just a
handful! of Catholics, but the Protestants
are now more numerous titan either of these
sects. We have a good wurch her,and.
shall be thankful when every other place in
this field feels the power of the Gospel as
much as Bittis does. Still, the work here,
eveu,is butbegnn,for the great mass re-
main uninterested in the Gospel.
The city itself is pretty;built along the
river of the same name, with its wards rune
ning up the branch valleys, making’it look
like a crab. It has several fine mineral
springs, some strong of sulphur, and others
of iron and carbonic held, so that it would
be a sort of Ssratoga, perhaps, if it were in
America. But it is all shut in by moun-
tains so that‘one feels almost imprisoned
here. We, however, are not in the city,
but camped out on the mountain side. I
ride in to my lessons every day,—-about
two miles,—‘and then back. The first two
weeks of this month were vacation, and 1
improved the opportunity of making a tour
to tlie’city of Moosh, and it I tell you a lit-
tle about it‘you will probably think it
enough for one letter.
Monday, Aug. 13th, taking one student
as traveling companion, I went to Tadwan,
at this end of the lake, where Mr. Scott is-
‘building our sloop,(cf which I may tell
you some time). The next day we turned
back from the lake, and keeping close an-
der Mt. Nimrod, an extinct volcano, de-
scended in about four hours to the edge of
Moosh plain. This is a large basin fifty
miles long, and perhaps fifteen broad at one
point,—so level thata railroad would al-
most build itself, and shut in. on every side
by mduntains. Just after reaching the
plain we came -to a large, finely builttomb,
said to be that of a Persian king. Just in
front of the tomb an immense spring boils

many as ten villages, before it empties into
the Euphraties, perhafi thirty miles dis-
tant.
‘ Just before reaching the plain, we fell in
with a white-turbaned old Turk, who im-
mediately opened up religious conversa-
tion. He was familiar with the Testament,
of which he says he has a copy. Like all
Turks, he confessed Jesus to be a Prophet,
but denied that Hewas the Son of God.
“ Why,” said be, “He was but one of five
born without a father." “ Who were the
other four?” “Adam.” “Granted.” “The
Prophet, belch, did many miracles."
“ We know of n' ell-person.” " Moses’
rod, and the ass that rebuked Balsam.”
We told him that these were not men, but
he held that both had come direct from God
to do His work, and stuck to his assertion
that five Prophets had been born without
fathers. ' '
He said. however, that he loved the Gos-
pel, and loved the Mosaic law, and if we
would give him a horsc,—a horse and a sal-
‘ary,-—he would come to Bittis and preach
very boldly, which was all talk, of course.
At noon I tied my horse under a large Eng-
lish walnut tree to stop for lunch, and the
Turk went on. My horse wished to go on.
too, and after a few plunges, freed himself
cad started one run. The Turk‘s horse
heard him comingand gave a sudden jump
to one side, throwing his rider in a second.
Fortunately nothing was hurt but his tem-
per, for I suppose he felt it a disgrace to be
thrown. ' He told my servant he would com-
plain to the authorities, and some people
who met him said he was'shakiug his sword
in its scabbard and threatening to make
mince-meat of us. ' - ‘ A
At night, just as we were about stopping,
we met a priest, brother of the student with
me. He was visiting a relative in another
village, close by, and we accepted their in-
vitation to go there. . The priest is convinc-
cd of the truth, but unwilling to take.up his
cross and' confess it. His brother ’says he

kept from Christ and duty by the fear of

After supper they drew up a' cart in front
of the door, and raised the tongue to make

such a delicious bed forome that I did not

Old ladies in their 68th year are not accus-
tomed, we are ha py to say, to fall in love;
but Mrs. R.-—-\ -———, in. Mendocino Coun-
ty, Cal., long a w'idow and the mother tf
just one dozen children, entertaineda tend 'r
passion for some one who is unsatisfactori
described as“a gentleman.” There were ol-
stacles to union—the course of true love ran
as rough as usual. Then it was that th's
ancient Sappho felt that life was no longer
worth having. She didn’t spring from a
cliff into the sea with a harp in her hand,
like the Grecian dame; but she less remar-
tically took a dose of; bedbug poispn.a 1
though they gave her great quantities .t
lard and sweet milk, she suffered untold ag-
onies for twenty days; and then s. exhaj-
ed—“ breathed her last,” as the Santa Ros)
Democrat puts it. There seems tobc no goal
philosophical reason why a erson aged .03
should not experience the upidian “in“;
and throes and so forth ; but to die the death
of a bed-bug for the sake of any “gentle
man," is what no old woman had best sub;
mit to. A mild course of depicting medi-
cine would be much better. ,

. THE LAST RIDE. '
n‘r Nonarannr,
.There was red wine, flowing from the
flagons, ’
The jewel-crusted flagcns slim and tall,
And a hundred voices, laughing, jesting.
And all lippdred toasts, ringing down the

For the baron held a feast atvtbe castle,
The gay young baron, lithe and tall. .
Fromthcdais-steps the red drums beating
And the horns. and the silver trumpets
, blowing
And the quick sweet rasping of the flddles,
Set the dancers in the dance-room ‘a-geing;
And all through th_ , lace ran the music,
And all night the re .wine was flowing.
, And the baron led the wassaii and the-
dance, .
The gay oung baron, lithe and tall,
With gal ant smiles and, jests for the , lovely
women guests, .
Till the cock crew athwart the castle .wall ;
But amid the lovely faces rising out of wife
and laces,
One fac for ]:he baron shone fairer than

He had stolen. from the drinking and the ‘
dancing,
He was standing in the doorway at her side;
He was praying, he was pleading and en-
- . -, treating, '
“hill the blast of a bugle far and wide
Rang itsdclear silver treble in the court-
' yar . ‘ ‘
Three times three, for a sharp battle-call ;
And the voice of a trooper hoarsely shouted,
“Ho, barons, for the king, one and all l”
Round and round, over hill and over valley,
Far and Wide rang the sharp battle-call.
Round and round rang the news of the ris-
. mg, - . , , .
The rising of old Coventry that night;
And the barons, one and all, at the bugle’s
thattle-c'ali, . ' , .
Mastered forth, fifty strong, for the fight,
Corslets ringing, feathers flinging, pennons
swinging—s , - , *
0, it must have been a spirit-stirring sight '
Women’s faces grew as white as the rose-
The white rose of Yorknpon each bunst;
Red lips in that moment lost their blooming,
Gay hearts in that moment lost their jest.
But our of fifty faces, sorrow-saddened,
There was one face sadder than the rest.
Eyes that a moment since disdained him,
Lips that were laughing and denying,
Heart that coqu'etted with its wooing.
Now on the wooer's breast is lying;
While the bugle rings its blast, and the troop-
ers rattle past,
Over hill and over valley flying, flying.
And the baron rides last,
rides fast, '
Over hill and over valley, rides away; 1
With a smile upon his face, and with a gli-
. lant gracc,,
As if he rode to' tournament, or a hunting
holiday.
But in the early dawning, in the gray of the ‘
morning,
In the front of
play.
And in the early dawning. in the gray of
, the morning,
The red fleldis won ere the day's half begun ;
And the cavaliers are shouting, at the round-
heads routing, .
Till over hill and valley comes creeping up
the sun;
Then the shouts and the cheers turn sud- .
denly to tears. - _
For there on the field, his brief race run,
but the baron

White and still, in the chill of the new-risen

While the roundheads are flying, the hero
lies dying, ‘ ' '
Who so late rode straight in 1y: front of
the fray ; _ ' '
With-a smile upon his face, and with a gal-
lant grace,
As if he rode- to tournament or a hunting

Thou has gone to the Land of Rest !
Thou hast entered the home of the hlest !

To the bright world on high,

Sweet, sweet is the rest of the grave— —
The rest which the weary ones crave;
For light breaks through the gloom
Which hovers roundzthe tomb,
And Death has heard his doom ;
