:of

Southern Church® do not readily

fraternize with the Northern, and propose to keep up the distinctions of the past. A reason assigned is, that a cessation of political differences must precede religious harmony. A cotemporary suggesta that this is inverting the ordinary teachings of Christianity, for its mission calls on it to be a peace-maker, and to pave the WV for political quiet. The antipathies of the denominations, it is manifest, are strong and positive, even more so than among politicians. It is time now to ground arms, and for the hostile denominations to aet' an example of' peace and good will. It will paybetter than missionary work. The Church militant should become the Church triumphant.

Shortly after my arrival, whilst sitting the Window of my hotel, a man passed like myself that, struck leaned ihe resemblance, 1 arose, an forward, followed him with my eye».— i«Mdce Maf ari Bnghshman.

was t«U torn J. SUin I wassUm. iHis eyes were bfufe, 1iil skin fair, his hair a deep auburn, his nose aquiline. All this was my portrait.

When he reached the bottom of the street he paused, looked aronnd, then Islowly returned, crossing the road, howev«-, and taking the opposite pavement. This enabled me to get .a dearer view of the man. I confess I was much impressed with the resemblance, and hardly liked it. The physiologist, I thought, tnay delight as much as he pleased in such coincidences for my part I decidedly object to being made a portion of any sort of phenomenon. I had read of very unpleasant consequences following personal resemblances, and earnestly hoped that this individual, whom nature, short Of moulds at the time, had undoubtedly cast in mine, would speedily clear the heighborhood of his presence,

week or two after this, in taking a Walk across a beautiful bit of adjacent country, I suddenly encountered my likeness seated on a rustic bench beneath a tree, with his arm circling the waiste of a very beautiful peasant girl. Her skin, Of a pure and cream-like tint, finely contrasted the beatiful luxuriance of her black, hair.

Her eyes Sashed upon me as I passed, and I noticed her draw herself erect with rapid hauteur, as if indignant or impatient of detection. The man by her side, who would have passed very well for me to any other person out my mother and myself, still maintained his caressing atit ^He did not condescend to raise his eyes to me as I passed, but kept them fixed upon the fece of the girl, who, I could gee, watched me with a species of sullen eagerness, as if wishing me well out of sight.

As I passed them I must confess to having experienced a momentary sensa tion of envy of the man. Since Nature has put him in my skin, I thought, it seems only fair that I should put myself his shoes. For all I know, I reflected the beautiful peasant girl might have been originally designed for me but the intention of nature has been defeated by her love of coincidence. I laughed at my thoughts as I walked on, and then, turning a corner, I lost sight of the lovers.

On reaching the bottom of the lane 1 found had I fallen upon a

Turkish p^viftce^ of Koumelia,

some one. I picked up my hat. The ball had passed dear through it. Had it struck two inehes lower it would entered my skull.

I hastened toward the town, possessed with much the same sort^ of enviable feelings as you might imagine a Tipperary landlord or agent would feel who sees threats of his life carved on every other tree. Bravery in a situation of this sort was quite out of the question. Of what use is pluck when you have to deal with invisible foes.

I might almost confess to having broken into downright flight as I neared the town so extremdy anxious was I to escape the vicinity of every sheltering bush, tree or hedge in the neighborhood.

On gaining my hotel I began to reflect oh my narrow escape. I had been too much excited to attach to it the significance it demanded. But the hole in my hat conveyed the most shuddering information of my narrow escape. Beyond all reasonable doubt my life within that hour had onl" been worth two paltry inches. ,,

I repeated the question to myself, "Who wants my life? And if anybody wants it, what are his claims? What have I done to merit assassination?"

Being wholly unable to answer these queries, I resolved to make a confident of my host, the hotel keeper. I called him to my room, and told him what had happened. He shrugged his shoulders as he exclaimed: "Monsieur, like th~e test of mankind, must pay the penalties of making love." "But," said 1, shocked at his

The

passage .terminated in a series of fields, Across which I could discover no footpath. I had no wish to be arrested for trespassing, so I decided on returning the way I had come.

Ori sighting the bench I found it was deserted. I was not sorry." I would by ho means have disliked another peep at the beautiful brunette but at the same time I had no ambition to inspire the couple with the notion that I was watching them.

I had got to th^tojp of the hill, and was passing between a row of thick bushes, tmakiiig a sort of natural hedge for abroad Srea oftrees, like a gigantic park, when il was suddenly startled by the report of a pistol, discharged to my left. At the Igame moment I hieard the hollow sound of a ball striking my hat, and that article iof dress rolled to the ground.

I looked round with a pale face. The attack* was horribly sudden. Who^in the name of heaven, wanted my life? For iwhat crime was my blood demanded? What had I done? I saw the blue smoke curling in from the densest portion of the bushes and beard the crackling of the 'furs and twigS, caused by the hasty flight

"I have not made love. Since .1 have been here,. I am not conscious of even having looked at a woman, much less spoken to one." "Then it is an enigma," he replied. "The only solution that I can offer you i8—you have been mistaken for some one GlSCa"

I replied. "You have

undoubtedly hit the mark. I have been mistaken, and I know for Whom. Have ou not seen a man in this town who iears a striking resemblance to me!" "Ifo," was the answer. "Well, my friend, I have. The moment I saw him I felt uncomfortable. It esentiment of evil. Oblige me

by letting me have your bill. I shall go to Parte to-night. If I stop here another day, mv life, which I left £ngland to fortify, will be snuffed out like a candle."

The hotel keeper, seeing matters come to a point that affected his interest, endeavored to laugh down my doubts.

He argued that the ball in my hat might have been destined for a bird that it was the shot of some wretched marksman, who*might have mistaken my hat for a crow. "That may be all very well," I answer ed, "but suffer me to tell you that your excuse only makes me more resolute to leave your excuse only makes me more resolute to leave the place—for of what r-ntiift iajt man's life in a district which abounds with sportsmen who can mistake ah at for a crow?"

A train left for Paris at 2:25. It was an express, and I found it to be due at 8 o'cIock..

I dispatched my portmanteau,

by a porter to the station and having twenty minutes before me, sat down to a light repast of cold fowl and rin ordinaire. The position of my table enabled me to get 'vie# Ml tfee'stWetj As the porter strode awv my luggage I obswved a man cross the road and accost hum. in reply to what was obviously a question the porter, with the *ert»ailati#n Frenchman, pointed With h» thnmb^to the hoteT and vigorously nodded his head.'7-

Suddenly several voices cried, "Stop! gtopl Sowtiw, qirirkh first? Let's aee you* tioket. Bight. Hereyou are—jump in!"

The door of my carriage was opened, a form bounded in, the door was 1Bliunmed, there was another shrill' whlaue and off went the train. I looked at my companion. He was the man that I had noticed speak to the porter and stare into the window of my hotel.

I would have given something to have changed carriages. Bat there was no communication with the guafd. Moreover the train, as I have told yotf, waa an express, and aid not stop until run of sixty-six miles had been accomplished, and we were now'bowling along with great rapidity.

I began after a time to regain my composure. fears, from never seen me? The thing was preposterous. I extracted a paper from my pocket and commenced to read.

Half an hoar passed iway. All at once, over the edge of my newspaper, I saw him put his hand out the window, as if to open the door. I had not tiaie to conjecture his intention when, with a wild, screaming whistle, We were hurled into the night of ft long tunnel'.,

The rapid disappearance of the. daylight made theoii lamp, suspended in the carriage emit but the dullest light for some minutes.

Suddently I felt myself swung round with tremendous energy. I bounded against a door, which opened, and we both fell out on to the lines in the very centre of the tunnel.

His struggles grew fircer. He endeavored to rise but with the fury of despair I kept him pressed down, one hand on his throat, the other on his breast. What I desired was to. render him insensible: I would then leave him nl the darkness, and grope my way as I could.

It never occurred to me at the time that we were on the railfoad track and in a narrow tunnel.

A few minutes had. elapsed when I heard a distant rumbling like approaching thunder. It increased.. I seemed to feel a wind blowing agains my face.

I tasted, too, a continual draught of smoke and steam. I k'neW' that a train was approaching, and my hair lifted on my head. What rails were we on? The suspense was terrible.

My assailant increased his struggles. He became furious He was evidently, fighting to throw me down, and over in the direction of that side of the toads! along which came the roar of the train.

In a campaign of scarcely three weeks duration they have bination in the interest of High Prices ever known in the West, routed their combined forces, and completely Broken up their organisation. 'Where now the boasted arrogance that was to drive them from the field in thirty days?

Already they have ground as fine as powder the big profit system of Terre Haute compelled high prices to bite the dust, and relieved the people from the payment, of extortionate r&les.

Should we retire from the field to-day, Dry Goods would at abound go back to the same high prices asked before We opened.
