CORRESPONDENCE. .,
Thchii‘tlon and the Bible.
No book has been so thoroughly assailed at
every point. It has not lacked of enemies.
They have been armed with. the force they
are pleased to call reason—the most gigantic
weapon that can be brought to bear upon it.
It has withstood the gale and comes out from
the ordeal clear and more beautiful than
before. Its shining beams glows with a more
transparent lustre. "I‘ll; like the sun after a
storm, it always looks more beautiful and
cheerful. As man rises higher in the scale
of science or pierces deeper into the dark
and mysterious unknown, and as he sends
his plummet line into the vista .of the
fathomless background and unlocks those
hidden chambers, where the light for the
first time dawns upon his vision and reveals
to him the true revelations of science. ’Tis
here the Bible rises to meet this grand eleva-
tion and whispering all in one sweet voice,
“It is, it is the word of God. The language
of inspiration.” How different is it from
those books that were written some five
hundred years later by the most illustrious
men of their age, and when we com-
pare their works with those of the sacred
canon how do they stand 1’ Can a comparison
be made—one lives while the others die.
They could not withstand the iron hail
hurled against them. The onward march
uprooted their dogmas and tore and scared
their philosophy to atoms. Each generation
brought forth new revelations that their
weighty system became so cumberous that
it fell by its own complexity. Laws for the
perpetuity of' any system must be construct—
ed upon a basis that is not only simple but
enduring. But they have work flown for-
ever like the waning star, never, never to re-
turn! On the contrary the Bible has scaled
every barrier, surmounted every obstacle,
lifted every difiiculty and has soared along
the rough pathway, and in every instance has
risen to meet the highest chambers of science.
What do we learn by this? Does it teach
us anything '1’ Must we close our eyes against
the light of solace—must we look upon na-
ture in its most transparent beauty,and above
all man that he was “born’d but a little be-
10 the angels of heaven," and then in the
fat‘kof all this, armed with reason. indisput-
able, can we close our eyes amid the full
blaze of modern science and whisper to our
souls “There is no God.” Can man be so far
depraved in nature, can he so far lose respect
. for himself,humanity and his God as to think
we are the same as the brutes of the field.
What are we striving for, simply to gain
weatlh and leave it behind us? Is this our
aim, our destiny our all? Can we not lift
ourselves higher than this, through from
nature to nature’s God? Who has not read
the philosophy of Aristotle, who wrote when
grace was in her strength and glory on the
astronomy of Ptolemy or the wity visions
of Hershiod. Can we make the least sem-
blance of comparison? Where lies the dif-
fercnce?
These books of the Bible were written at
vast intervals apart, in different countries
and by different nationalities. But how
beautifully do they blend in one symmetrical .
whole. There is no falsificatbn, no argu-
ment, but everything is pictured forth clearly
and boldly in language of living light, clearly
and unmistakably plain to all that will read
aright and understand—the interpretation is
part of the evidence of a supreme hand in
welding and guiding this great work. How
is it with the ancient philosophers ? How
long did they survive ,the blind. Once‘ Ca.
pernicus sent the dart of investigation to lay
open their bosom before the world and ex-
pose their false doctrines. What excitement
o’erspread the land. What new revelations
were to be brought at hand ?» Did not the
priests tremble as much as would a city in
the hand of an earthquake? But how was he
treated? Persecuted and robbed, and the
tidings only came to him as the mainspring
of life was tending its flight upward to meet
its Maker that his book was given to the
world.
But once the tree was girdlfi its doom
was final. There was no surviving the blow.
He sent the arrow of poison to the root and
the noble- work went on. no tapped the
vital artery,but there was no one to verify his
statements that the earth rotated until
Galileo, in the year '1610', corroborated his
statements and proved to a doubting world
that it was the earth and not the sun that
moved. This gave the final blow from which
it never survived. Onward and still onward
has been the march of science until every
vestige of ancient philosophy Is dead—but '
the Bible in ever y instance has risen to meet
this grand elevation of modern science.
Still again can we learn something. Yes,
“it teaches us of the power of God, the life
of the Universe over all the things which he , _
fails to receive courteous treatment, even if
‘he obtains but very little news.

‘ blest creature of earth, to whom he gave

things without His power.
theaoul that sins. “It shall surely die." It
teaches .us of our littlcness; of how the
Spirit of God moved upon the waters; how
the Spirit of the L-ird led Israel from bond-
age, and through their own infidelity sank
once more back into vassalage. When we
learn from the Book of Job, perhaps the
most wonderful book 'in the sacred canon,-
where God speaks to them out of the whirlf
wind, where is there language more con—
vincing, more overwhelming of the being
of a God than this. It has survived the attack
of infidelity for three thousand years, and
stands today as clearly untarnished as it did
the day it was penned. If those teachings
were not true how long would they have
lived against 151“? opponents of the Bible, to
whom they have hurled the battle axe of
reason to destroy her firm foundation 1’ But
it has withstood the wind and rain of in-
vestigation,and;to-day has a firmer hold upon
the mind than it had in the age it was pen-
ned. ' How great has it been in guiding and“
molding nations. It shapes and marks the
destiny of empires, for from his youth has
he been taught'to obey its laws or disregard
them. Throw the Bible to the winds. Cast
away from thy mind the thought of'a Su-
preme Being, and but open the pages of that
sacred canon and you will _ read there

it shall surely die." G. Enwm Cousrocx.

lNAUGURAL crass MEETING.
DEAR —: The inauguration of a Presi-
dent of the United States is always a mo-
mentous and august event to the public and
to the Nation. But when the President is
one of our own number, the ceremonies be-
comes intense. “Our President,” is dear to
the whole people, but to us he is bound by
ties of affection that grow stronger with
time. Nineteen of our class have been priv-
ileged to attend Garfield’s inauguration. He
joined us as “a private citizen," at the class
dinner on the evening of March 3d. He
greeted us in his wonted cordial manner,and
told us of his anticipations and his wishes
for the class. On the afternoon of March 4
he received the alumni of Williams, led by
Dr. Hopkins, in the East room of the Execu-
tive Mansion: The wonderful decoration of
the city seemed to be the genuine expression
of a nation’s joy. Happiness reigned su-
preme and continues. Our happiness was
greatly enhanced by the fraternal attentions
of Gilfillan and Rockwell. God bless them.
We elected Gilfilian (thirteenth Treasurer of
the United States) president of the class. Of
our frequent meetings, and what was said,
you and all the class canlhear by coming to
Williamstown next July. Do not be tardy.
Some of us will be there on Saturday, July
2d. Commencement occurs on the 6th.
At the class dinner at Wormley’s on the
evening of, Marcfid, Garfield responded to
the toast propoposed as follows:
“Chassam'rus: To me there is something
exceedingly pathetic in this reunion. In
every eye before me I see the light of friend-
shlp' aird love, and I am sure it is reflected
back to each one of you from my inmost
heart. For twenty-two years, with the ex-
ception ofthe last few days, I have been in
the public service. Tonight I am a private
citizen. Tou‘norrow I shall be called upon to
assume new responsibilities, and on the day
after the broadside of the world’s wrath will
strike. It will strike hard. I know it, and
you will know it. Whatever may happen to
me in the future, I shall feel that I can al—
ways fallback uponuthe shoulders and hearts
of the class of ’56 for their approval of. that,
which is right, and for their charitable judg-
ment wherein I may come short in the dis-
charge of my public duties. You may write
centage of blunders which “you" think I will
be likely toomake, and you will be sure to
'find in the end that I have made more than
you have calculated-many more.
.“This boner comes to me unsought. I
have never had the Presidential fever—not
,even for a day; nor have Iit tonight. I
have no feeling or elation in .view of the pm
:God were I today a free lance in the House
gor the Senate. But it is not to be, and I will
go forward to meet the responsibilities and
fdischarge the duties that are before me with
all the firmness and ability I can command.
I hope you will be able conscientiously to
approve my conduct, and when I return to
private life I wish you to give me another
class meeting."
Blaine in WaShington-
First, of course, in any description. of
them, comes Secretary Blaine. His features
and general appearance he known to almost
every observer of political cartoons. but the
caricatures do not give any idea of those
qualities of the man which people most ad-
mire. That urbanity',cordiality and magnet-
ism which those about remark are all want-
ing in the pictures. He has been at the
White House nearly. every day, only being
absent at times when it was thought the den-
ger in the President’s case had been passed.
Mr. Blaine dresses plainly in black,his cloth-
.ing out after style compatible with the
warm weather, and also the business
habits of the wearer rather than from any
attempt to make a fashionable display. .In-
deed, all of the Cabinet dress plainly and
modestly. A white summer hat usually
covers his head. A cane, carried more as a
sort of balance thanas a support, is generally
in his hand. He loses but little time in
reaching the Cabinet room, although the
interviewer who obstructs his path never
Mr. Blaine is charitable and magnanimous
to his enemies. The other day I heard an
interesting story in proof of this trait in the
Secretary’s character. As is well known he

effort one of them might happen to make in
Edeh’atefit was all lost upon the other. There
jcauie n'time when harmony in the‘Repuiny
can party was necessary. The opposing lac.
tions in the Senate were nearly equally divi-
ded upon the measure at issue, although the
lines were almost limited .to the two political
divisions of the the chamber. The friends
of Senators Blaine and Conkliug proposed
that the two should meet and shake hands,
and thus let bygones be bygones. Mr.
Conkling reluctantly gave his consent, but
Mr. Blaine, while consciOus of the propriety
of his previous conduct, readily consented
to any arrangement his ”friends might might

All the Cabinet live quite plainly, compar-
ed with the style of many of the officials

are married, and during ,the :illness of the
President have been accompanied by their
wives on their nightly visits to the White
House. Mrs. Blaine is a woman of marked
executive'ability, and for this was chosen to
meet Mrs. Garfield at the railway station and
gently reveal to her the real condition of the
President. during the ride to the'Whitc
House. Mrs. Wisdom and Mrs. Machagh
are favorites in social circles because of the
kindness of heart and simplicity of manner
they manifest. Mrs. James possesses much
of the fact in the management of the affairs
that has made her husband so successful.

TEMPEBANCE. ,
Contributed whither." of Norwalk Temp. Union
The Ballston Blacksmith—Shop.
in: any. rarer: s'rrzmn, D. D.
It was my privilegerecently to address a
large audience in the village of , Ballston, on
the subject of temperance. .Themeeting was.
held under the auspices of the I“Reformed v
Temperance Union,” composed, of a set of
men who styled themselves “'1‘: Bummers."
The history, of this new organization is
quite remarkable, and of general interest.
In relating it, I wish it to be understood,.that
the account is not in the least exaggerated.
It illustrates the old adage that “truth is
tranger than fiction," and is aucthcr proof of
sthe wonderful grace of God. '
The story clusters-around ,a blacksmith- '
shop, and to this I was conducted by. a num-
ber of inen, who, as if by a miracle, have been
saved from a drunkard’s doom, and are now
exerting their influence as reformers.
This shop is situated in the upper part of
the village of Ballston. It looks like any
other blacksmith-shop, only a little more neat
than some. It is quite large, and the indica-
tions are that the proprietor does an extensive
and profitable business. .
Near by this shop resides an industrious
mechanic by the name of Patrick Close.
For years this man had been addicted to the
use of intoxicants, and the habit of drinking
had grown upou him until he became a
drunkard. Convinced by the arguments he
heard in the Reform Club, he determined to
stop. It was near the end of the year, just
after Christmas, and just before New Year.
So, to use his own language, he “knocked
of?! Dec. 28, 1880, and has not tasted a drop
since. ‘
On Sabbath, January 16. 1881, Mr. Close
entered the blacksmith-shop we have refer-
red to,and found the proprietor,Gldeon Tripp,
and one of his boon companions,Daniel Smith,
grossly intoxicated. “You are a couple of
nice workingmen," he said. “If you don’t
mend your Ways you will abon fill drunkard’s
graves. The undertaker over yonder is just
ready to come and measure you.”
They had drank that day already two gal-
lons of talc, and half a gallon of whiskey
between them. _ .
Tripp said to Close, “Will yougive us to-
day to finish up 1’" .
Close replied promptly, “I will.”
Then Tripp, bringing his hand violently
upon a bench near him, declared, “So help
me God I will not after to-day drink another
drOp."
As Smith heard this he arose from the
chair in which he was pitting, and asked:
“Are you going to leave me out in the cold i
If you fellows can stop drinking, so can I."
So saying he took a piece of chalk in his
hand, and having with some difiiculty
mounted a table, he wrote upon the wall of
the shop, “Daniel Smith, Jan. 16, 1881.” So
drunk was the man when he wrotethis that
his comrades were afraid he would fall and
fatalIy injure himself. But be accomplished
the task successfully and safely, and the in-
scrltion still stand as legible as the day it was
written.
The two men then, according to the agrees
ment, proceeded to take their last drink.
How they managed to do it they cannot tell. ,
but they drank that day another gallon of .
beer. ,
_ The next morning Smith came into the,
,shop,‘ and Tripp said to him.‘ “How do you:
I," said the other. There. was alittle bravado
in this, no doubt, but the men Were in earn— ,
est. They had passed their word, and meant ,
‘ to keep it. 7 , g
The three men, Close, Tripp and Smith. ;
.met every evening during that week to ,
jstrengthen each other in their purpose. ,
'When the Sabbath came they took dinner 3
together in the blacksmith-shop, and two
other drinking men joined them. The sec- .
'ond Sabbath there were eight, the third Sab-
bath a dozen, the fouth Sabbath sixty. Since 2
that they have had every Sabbath to dinner ,
about fifty, each one paying his proportion
of the expense.
_ After dinner they meet with the Tempe r-
ance Union in the chapel of the Presbyte-
rian Church. Every Monday evening they
have a business meeting. Thursday evening
they hold a public meeting. They have
rented a hall, and this is open every evening ,
to all who choose to enter. Some one _is al-
ways there to take a stranger by the hand.
In this hall they now have their weekly din-
‘ner. They have purchased a complete set of
dishes, and a parlor organ. All this is paid
for, and there is money in the treasury.
'One. of the, original three said they spent
between them for liquor $100 a month, and
they could easily afford now to give liberally
to support temperance. According to their
'constitution and by-iaws, when any one of
their number is sick they care for him, if he
they promise to help him, and in the event of
his death they will contribute $25 towards
defraying his funeral expenses. ‘
This is a novel society. For some weeks
they refused to admit any to membership
unless they had been drinking -r'nen They
have now on their roll about seventy names,
all but eight or ten of whom have been in-
ebriates, and all residing in Ballston. I found
upon inquiry that a few_ of their: are church.
members, and allare better men morally than
they were. They have ceased in a measure
their profanity as well as drunkenness, and
are starting for a better life.
Who can‘ but be interested in them and
wish them well i" What Christian. as he
reads this simple story'of men who are nobly
prayer in their behalf? Can any doubt but
that these men thus banded together-will hold
out ?-
. We see from this narrative how one can
influence others, and the power there is in
union and method. One man started alone,
Perhaps he would have fallen, but he induc-
ed two others to follow _him, and in snving
them he saved himself. ,‘The three, pledged
to each other, met together often, and invit—
ed others to join them. . They made a. busi-
ness of it; ' _ g -
, This was sensible. Let others follow
their example. No one -_can help along the
inebriatdbet-ter than reformed men. And
let us hope that these persons, who are now
free from the demon drink, auditry'yg to lib
duce others to reform, will not only remain
steadfast in the'ltcmperance principles, but
advance a step farther, and all become true
Christians.

- Miss Anna Dickinson rather astonished
the members of the Women’s Christian Tem.
perance Union in session at Ocean Grove, N.
J., one day, by her remarks made on the sub-
ject of reclaiming fallen women. The sub-
ject had been under discusiou upon the plat-
form for some time,the general drift of the re-
;marks having been unfavorable to the ability
or expediency of women reforming other
women when Miss Dickinson, who happened
to be among the audience, arose and treated
marks. “I am not a temperance advocate,"
she said, “but new 1 can tell you that
woman’s proper ' work is with her sisters
(and not with men. You fall where you can
‘do the most. The woman who has nothing
to do, the giddy, fashionable creature, who
learns to tipple with refinement ; the woman
who has too much toldo, your laundress,who
does a day’s work, getting her husband’s
breakfast and attending to her children be—
fore she comes in the morning—these,as well
as the woman who drinks to dr n despair,
are the ones who need but do not receive
your ministrations. You raise the man, but
you spurn your fellow-woman beneath your
feet]! . No uneoaw fit _to respond .to this inr-
passioned arraignment, but-later in-thc day a
Quaker lady publicly prayed for Anna’s con-
version. . '

Some interesting observations concerning,
the comparative longevity 'of men and wo—

of the Vienna Statistical Bureau. Out of
102,831 individuals who have passed the age
of ninety years, only 42,528 are men, and

The attempts to explain the tails of comets
A new efiort to solve
the prbblem has been made by M. Picart, as
follows: The sun, the stars, the nebulae and
comets, are composed not only of pondera—
. ble matter in the gaseous state,but of impou-
derable matter—the “luminous tther"-rc-
vealed, in the case of the sun, by the zodia-
cal liglrt,land in that of nebulae, by their
irregular form contrary to graviatiou. A
comet far from the sun,appears in spheroidal
form, due to gravitation of its ponderable
matter-its luminous ether being then in- ,
visible because of its distance and feeble
light. But on nearing the sun, repulsion
being a characteristic property of luminous
ether, the ctherof the sun repels that of the
comet, and thus forms the tail: The form
and direction of the tall are thu s quite inde-
pendent of gravitation ; and the comet‘s
enormous velocity ceases to be a difiiculty,
as it is in theories which suppose the matter
of the tail to be ponderabie. This explana-
tion may account for the comet's tails, but
the mystery of the luminous ether still re-
mains.
’ Some remarkable and suggestive peculiari-
ties are found in a human jawbone from the
Schipka Cave of Moravia. Stone implements
found with the bone indicates that it belongs
to the stone age. In development the jaw
is thamf a child, but it is of "great size. Its
shape indicates the absence or any chin and
has other peculiarities found in greater de-
gree in the higher apes.
Physically, the nearest approach to man in
the lower animals is the anthropoid ape ; but
in intelligence ants seem to rank highest in
the scale below man. Reference has often
been made to the Habits of species of these
insects in conducting battles, capturing
slaves,and their power of recognizing friends
and of communicating among themselves.
Various entomologists have shown them to
possess reasoning powers quite sdrprising.
One of their most remarkable habits is the
practice of many species of keeping aphidcs
as men keep milch cows, to supply a nutri-
tious secretion. Huber first observed this
habit, and noticed that the ants collected the
eggs of the aphidcs and treated them with
as much apparent care as they treated their
own. _ When these eggs hatch-out, the aphi-
desgare usually kept and fed by the ants.
Sometimes the stems and branches on which
they, live are encased - by the ants in clay
walls, in which doors are left large enough
to admit the ants but too small to permit the
escape of the aphidcs. The latter are there-
fore fairly imprisoned in veritable sta-
bles. The sweet secretion is yielded to the
ants by a process of “milking," which con-
sists of the ants stroking the antennal of the
aphidcs. Sir John Lubbock has found that
the eggs of the aphidcs are laid in October
on the food-plants of the insect, when they
are carefully collected by the ants and pro-
tected in their nests from the cold of winter.
The newly-hatched insects are then, in May,
restored to the plants on which they feed and
are closely tended by the ants. .
Cyclones are observed to extend over a
circle from 100 to 500 or, sometimes 1,000
miles in diameter. In the West Indies theyf
are sometimesas small“ as 100 miles in
diameter, but dilate to 600 to 1,000-miles on
reaching the Atlantic. They sometimes,
however, contract, increasing greatly in vio-
lence during the process.
According to a French entomologist, the
wool of different countries may be distin-
guished in market by the variety of beetles
which inhabit the‘bales. He has identified
47 species in Australian wool; 52 in South
African wool; 30 in South American wool;
16 in Spanish wool, and six in the Russian
wool.
Experiments by M. Pasteur in vaccination
for splenic fever have proved entirely suc-
Tire new vaccine matter can be

Table Etiquette.
Bill Nyc’s Boomerang.
There are a great many people who behave
well.otherwise, but at table they do things“
that is not absolutely outre and ensemble, are
at least pianhsimo and aim die.
It is with a view to elevating the popular
taste and etherealizing, so to speak, the man-
ners and customs of our readers, that we give
below a few hints upon table etiquette.
If by writing an article of this kind we can
induce one man who now wipes his hands on
the table cloth to come up and take higher
ground, and wipe them on his pants,we shall
feel amply repaid. '
If you cannot accept an invitation to din-
ner, do not write your regrets on the back of
a pool check with abiue pencil. 'This is now
regarded as n'hcohect.
A simple note to your host informing him
that you washerwoman refuses to relent is
sufficient. .
0n seating yourself at the table draw of!
your gloves and put them in your lap under'
your napkin. Do not put them in the gravy,
as it would ruin the gloves and cast a gloom
over the gravy. If you have just cleaned
your gloves with benzine, you might leave
them out in the front yard.
If you happen to drop gravy on your knife
blade, back near the handle, do not run the
blade down your throat to remove the gravy,
as it might injure your epiglottis, and is not
considered embonpoz‘nt, anyway.
When you are at dinner do not take up a
raw oyster on your fork and playfully ask
your host if it is dead. Remarks about death
at dinner are in very poor taste .
Pears should be held by the stem and peel-
ed gently but firmly, not as though you were
skinning a dead horse. It is not ban ton.
Oranges are held on a fork while being
pulled, and the facetious style of squirting
the juice into the eye of your hostess is now
an revoir.
Stones in cherries or other fruit should not
be placed upon the table-cloth,but slid quiet-
ly and unostentatiously into the pocket of
_ your neighbor or noiselessly tossed under the
table.
If you strike a worm in your fruit do not
call attention.to it by mashing it with the
nut cracker. This is not only uncouth, but it
is regarded in the best society as blasc and
exceedingly vice versa,
Macaroni should be cut into short pieces
and eaten with an even, graceful motion, not
absorbed by the yard.
In drinking wine, when you get to, the bot-
tom of your glass do not throw your head
back and draw in your breath like the exhaust
of a bath tub in order to get the last drop, as
it engenders a feeling of the most depressing
melancholy among the guests.
After eating a considerable amount do not
rise and unbuckle your vest strap in order to
get more room, as it is exceedingly an fail
and diehabz'lle. "
If by mistake you drink out of your finger-
bowl, laugh heartily and make some facetious
remark which will change the course of con-
versation and renew the friendly feeling
' among the members of the party.
Ladies should take but one glass of wine
at dinner, Otherwise there might be difilcul-
ty in steering the male portion of the proccs.
sion home.
Do not make remarks about the amount
your companion has eaten. If the lady who
is your companion at table, whether she be
your wife or the wife of some one eise,should
eat quite heartily, do not offer to pay your
host for his loss or say to her, “Great Scotti
I hope you will not kill yourself because you
have the opportunity,” but be polite and gen-
_tlemanly, even though the food supply be cut
off for a week.
If one of the gentlemen should drop a raw
oyster into his bosom and he should have
trouble in fishing it out,do not make facetious
'remarks about it, but assist him to find it
laughing heartily all the time.

The late Hiram Barnes. of stage coach
fame was an inveterate joker, and lost no op-
portunity to play off even on his customers
and friends. Among hundreds. of others
that could be related, the following will serve
for an after dinner sitting. Many years ago,
' before Danbury people ever dreamed of a
railway,and when all the passenger travel was
by stage coach, two lines of stages run from
Danbury to White plains to meet the Harlem
railway, which,at that time, extended only to
the latter place from New York. One line
was run by Barnes and the other by Deforest
and Crosby, and of course there was strong
competition between the rival lines for the
travel. It was customary for the proprietors
to take the down trains from White Plains
and meet the up trains from the city at the
station where the trains passed each other,
there being only a single track. This gave
them an opportunity to canvass the cars for
passengers. On one cccasion, as Barnes was

going through the cars as usual, he approach-
ed a well-dressed gentleman who was busily
occupied in reading a book. Tappirg him
lightly on the shoulder, he inquired: “Dan—
bury, sir i" The gentleman made no reply,
and after waiting a moment the stageman re.
peated his question: “Danhury, sir 1" Still
no reply, but intent on his reading the pas-
senger appeared not to have heard the ques-
tion. “Danbury, sir 2" again he asked, in a
louder tone. “What is that to you, sir i’"
indignantly rctorted the stranger, with a
glance at the solicitor that was intended to
annihilate him. ' “0 nothing. sir,” answered
the ever-ready joker, “only I engaged a man
yesterday to ring a couple of pigs for,me and
I didn’tknow but you was the chap.” ‘

As I was _sauntering along a veranda, at 9
o’clock last evening, I glanced by chance
through the open slats of a shutter, and saw
my beauty lying in her bed. She made such
a striking picture that I stopped still to ad—
mire it. She lay on her back with a sheet
covering her to- the breast. 'One bare arm
was thrown carelessly over her head, where
her leose brown hair was tumbled over it,
while the other lay delicately pink on the
white sheet. Her eyes were shut and the
heaviness of the lids was thereby hidden.
She was indeed lovely. I thought her fast
asleep, of course. for the lace-covered bosom
rose and fell with her regular breathing, and
her red, relaxed lips gave a glimpse of pearly
teeth. As I stood for a minute taking in the
sight several men came around the corner of
the veranda, and I heard one say something
about never minding and coming again.
Then they passed on. I comprehended in—
stdntly. Somebody had told told them of
the sleeping beauty, and they had come
around to lock in at‘ her. I was ashamed for
the woman. and resolved to protect her. I
closed the slats of the shutter as tight as a
drum and moved on to a shadowy angle. “311
feet away. Looking back presently, I saw
the shutter’s opened just as they were before
—opened from the inside! Could it be pos-
sible that the woman was only feigning 31061)
in order to pose effectively and with seeming
unconsciousness? Yes; it could be. and it ’
was, I went past the window again and
glanced in. She had resumed her posture
shed and was simulating the sleep of blush-
ing innocence! What wretches we are!—
