They were soon at Dr. Hedges’ house, much to that gentle- ■ man’s delight—and they insisted on j talking in a room apart, greatly to that gentleman’s surprise. During this conversation Mr. Hedges told his nephew that the Wanderer, in the absence of Captain Fox, w s a very different ship from what a man-of-war should be. "Man and boy, I have been to sea for ov r thirty years, al, and may I be swung to the yardarm, if I ever saw anything like it,” said the excited lieutenant. “I do not understand you, Uncle ■George. ’’ “Then I’ll be plan, Vai. Yonder ship is without doubt sailing under the commissit n of good Queen Anne, whom may heaven preserve; but, sir, she 100. ed so much like a pirate when I reached her deck this morning, that, as I am a sinner, named Hedges, I feel like hurrying to the Sea Hawk and pieparing for an attack." “What particularly attracted your attention " “First, the ev.dent familiarity of the men and officers; and then many of the bearded pirates, for such they looked to be, wore rings in their ears and jewels of great value on their lingers. Think of such things on the hands of sailors with, seven pence h;df-j enny a day, and a penny for rum when at sea. There is something wrong, if one could only lay his finger < n if.” “Why did Capt. Fox leave the ship to go among the Indians?” asked Valentine. “He went to see this Col. Graham.” “How did he know this Col. Graham was there?” . - I

In response to further inquires, n was learned that the unfortunate man was a post-rider on the way from Kew . York to Sag Harbor, that h ■ cnption ( being found on his empty lea' hern pouch. , Some of the people thought th<s the work of robbers; otb^ 3 were sure it ( was done in reven slaves who had taken to the wo f as and a few very wise ones shook t^eir heads and hinted that this was 'he ft rerunner of a general Indian r-vOK. ■o bile these rumors and comments were flying right and left, a man in the dress of a common sailor mounted a step before the inn door, when he was recognized as an old acquaintance, and some believing tha' he was go ng to make an address, shoute 1 out: “Silence! A speech from Sara Talimadge. ” Though evidently perplexed by this introduction, the sailor, a fine, sturdy fellow, called out: “I ain’t going to make a speech, but I have more news to give you." “Lot us have it,” shouted a score of people, and the crowd,with eager faces, ; surged around him. i “I came from Gardner’s Island this j morning, and two days ago I was in ; New York.” “Oh, that ain’t news’” broke in a man . who knew that Sam Tallmadge’s busi- ; ness as captain of a small schooner took ; him to New York very often. Not at all disconcerted by this inter- । i notion, the sailor continued: “And in New York I was at the Govornor’s oflice, and I h ard officers. o.

ships, just in from the Atlantic, saying that there was a pirate ship n aking for these waters.” "A pirate ship'” came line a gasp from the crowd. “Ave, neighbors, a pirate ship commanded by Captain Kidd, him as has been away raising the devil in the East Indies and the Spanish Mam. And one officer swore that the ship was tae Adventure Galley. ” , .. f “Where was the ship heading for? asked a man in the crowd. “Due north. I heard theofficeis say cbe will come into these waters or cruise off Boston, and sink and rob till she’s driven away. „ “Let her come here if she wants to, said Doctor Hedges, catching a glimpse of Fr< nauld in the crowd. \Xe have two mod ships here, and if Captain Kidd doesn’t tackle them, I pledge my word they’ll tackle him.” \ cheer gre. ted this littie address, but it did not satisfy the people, who Plied Sam Tall r.adge with questions that caused the honest man toiepeat himself again and again Tbn story of the murdered pouviider

and the coming of the noted Captain Kidd at once became the all-absorbing topics of conversation. Men gathered in knots at street corners to discuss it. Women, with all their little ones clinging to their skirts, like chickens al out a moth t hen when the shadow of a hawk fails upon them, came out of their houses, and talked with other v omen about the awful topics. The servants discussed it over the fen os of back gardens. Ihe good old dominie thought seriously of summonin’ the people together and hob ing religious services suitable to the occasion. The sailors from the Sea Hawk and Wanderer suddenly became objects of an intenser interest than they had yet i attracted, for the people saw in them the heroes who must soon be brought face to lace with Captain Kidd and de- , stroy r.im, or be destroyed. There was enough doubt about the former contingent to keep up the excitement—in- : deed, to add to it. In the m dst of this hubbub three men mounted on horses and followed bv two servants, one a white lai and t^ . t a negro youth, came into o m'o ing as ' ■ One was ( aptain FM’nTveen off i^’Uffby his side ■ rode I neas, chief of the Mon'auks, and ' slightly to the rear was Colonel Graham, looking very pale, and Othello, looking, if possible, blacker than ever.

Their appearance would ordinarily 1 have caused some excitement, but the}- now entered the house m arly un- i notice !, ex opting that sonic of the pci pie whispered together about Umas and his warriors b ar ng a han I in the general defense, in the event of Capt.

Os course, he is not to : blame for that, but my daughter shad never wed a man she knevs nothing I ' about.” “Perhaps you are right, sdd Fox, j i averting his face to conceal the smile 1 that he could not suppress at the other’s absurd reasoning. “But I was g>I ing to ask you to do me agr at favor.” ; “A thousand ot them,” -aid the Doci tor, at once. | Captain Fox drew an ebony, inlaid casket from the bag, and taking a small jk< y—it locked to be made of gold—he ! displayed the < ontents.

An lat one end of the casket, like a disjointed wldte serpent, there lay a pearl necklace, worth in itself the combined fortunes of all the dwellers . in Sag Harbor. The Doctor knew something of the * value of these things, and dazed at the concentrated treasure as well as dazzled . by its beauty, he bent his head over the . jewel case, and trembled with excitement. “I secured these things from a Dur- ' i gundian-prince, who has recently been ■ exiled, ami came to the new w. rid with . the only wealth left him. The price i I was much to him, but nothing, fortu- ■ nately, to me. I thought at once of the beautiful Lea, and bought them.” “But surely not for my daughter!” ex- > claimed the Doctor. ; “Fes, for your daughter. Now, I : i know, beautiful as they are, that she iwi 1 refuse them at my hands. S- 1 ® cannot do so if you give them to her.

“But she knows I have not the wealth nor the ” “I know what you would say, my dear Doctor, but you can tell Miss Lea that the jewels were given or sent to you for her by a highly valued friend. Keep back the name, an 1 she will be more than woman, mope than human, if she doos not accept. After she has learned i to love the gems, and it is a love that ; grows very fast, she will demand to . know the donor’s name, then, I think, i you can tell her without harm to my I cause.” If Do tor Hedges, good easy man, had entertained any doubts about the I wealth and high rank of this nautical Midas, it was dissipated now. Here was a prospective son-in-law, richer than any man in the provinceyes, richer than any man n all the American colonies. His warm beard and hair seemed suddenly to become composed of threads of gold. He was handson e before, but now he turned into an Apollo, before whom the mythl ica! o iginal was dwarfed.

The lesson for Sunday, May 28, may be found in Prov. UI: It-31. IXJRODICTpRY. This < hapter stands marke I in the i writer’s handy Bible “Woman’s chapter." It is such a beautiful tribute to the true wife and n-other. Does the husband make a present of a copy of ' the Scriptures to the companion of his : nnd sorrows? 1 his is probably the

joys anu sorrows. is puuuui.i chapter that comes to her marked, as the testimony of his own reverence an 1 affection as respects the best and sweetest there is in her. And how much we ’ are indebted to the Bible for all tight conceptions of humanity! Christ took a child and set him in the midst, and ; ever since the Loy and girl have occupied a new place in the estimation of ! Gcd-fearing men. They marveled :n old . Samaria that he talked with the woman, 1 l.ut ever since the heart of man has I spoken more consid* lately, more reverently to the woman. Oh, this world 1 ! needs the type of manhood and woman- ' hood glimpse I in the word! Let us brighten and freshen the heavenly im- I ! age, as we study,these sentences toi day. POINTS IN THE LESSON. The word is literally for Go I. P’fh christening every child of Christian i parents ought to have. Not the kind 1 that comes with priestly Angers laid 1 up* n the I row, but the sort that ap-

pears when mother or father, or l oth, kneel, and. before God, present their offspring to heaven’s kind [rovidinee and care. It is a mother that speaks this word. Who but a mother could tell from ti e heart what a son or a daughter ought to be told. The mother that neglects at the proper time to lake her child aside, and, in love, speak the things that belong to rectitude anil virtue is certainly omitting a wry important duty. The instruction that you e; n give, mother, is such as no one vise in all the world ! can give. n ‘ "Who can End a virtuous woman?" might letter stand. Who will find a virtuous woman? —the more close rendition of the Hebrew. T1 e term here is simple future, and the intimation of difficulty in the English translation is wholly gratuitous. The thought is this: l o you wish to find a virtuous woman? Here is what you will find when God leads you t > her. Her price” is use 1 here, perhaps, in the sense of her x alue, h> r w. rlh softer, pleasant** terms. But, after all, ; there is a cost-price. You cannot have the wealth of a good won>uu’s heart wlthi ut giving something yourself, and something in tne same high denomination. And by -o much as love and selfsacrifice are beyond mere riches of the I and, by so much is the price . f heart affection beyond rubies. Some men, and some women, too, alas, kn<>w nothing at all of this kind of wealth. HINTS AND 11.1 t STI: fiox:-'.

L’i» Til b the 'uofee? T ey ought to be discussed in the Sunda . school with the Bil le open before : B.‘ What can the wife do for l.er husband? What can the mother do for her child’ And there is that large class of godly sisters who have we hied themrulves, like Dorcas, to the church audio benevolent work in the community. God bless the unmarried handmaids of the I , rd! a multitude of int< resting sug- • gestions occur when we pause to think ; of what, woman has done, and what she I can do to ameliorate the condition of the race. Make much of this lesson toda' , and if out oi it there shall come a larger respect for tha’ sinq le, homelo :ng type of womanheol tl.at the ; Bible exalts, earth will be helped and G< d will be glorified. "Lord, na :e others great; keep me innocent.” : o wrote Queen Charlotte with her dian on 1 ring "n the win low-pane. May G> d keep our daughter- sweet a d pure and ! good! ■ Go back to the dedication of this chapter to Lemuel —given to God. _ I wa- called the other day to visit a sick young man. The white, almost trans-

parent lace—a I cautiful one, the anxious eyes peering cut—l can seejt ail yet. And this was his lament, “I have not been cl.Hstened. V hat <iid I । say, “Send for aptiest?” "This other ' man around the corner will do it lor you " That, I think, would have been i unkind to this poor soul that wanted : help. I said to him, “1 o you believe - in’the Lord Jesus Christ?" "I do, he ' said. “Do you take him as a Savior for your sins ust now?” "I do,” ho said, and he looked eagerly at me. “L et I me have your hand for it,” I said. ."That is enough lor the present. Do । not trouble yourself about christening. The name of Jesus is sufficient. Mas ' I right, brethren? Has any man more 'of a right to christen than I? Has any Iman auth. rity to name another a child jof God? Here, lam done with saying ! tv hungiy souls, go here or go there for I form or ceremony. I will tell them the 'truth. I will bring them straight to I God; and there, where I and you and all ' can go no further, I will leave them. i lam reminded of another incident of a pastoral sort, interesting, perhaps, also to teachers and Christian workers, who find their best help given in the close contact of the home visit. One of • God’s little ones, a new convert to the

faith, in broken English was telling me of a certain wrong, fancied or otheri wise, that had teen done her, and hastily, as when David said, “All men are i liars,” she had vowed never to go into i God’s house with God’s people again till it was made right there. “No,” I said; “you have no right to deprive yourself of such privileges; God has given them to you, and you need them.” ' "But my vow.” she said, weeping. 1 “Never mind that; be absolved from ft. i God never prompted such a pledge. Do ' not let Satan take away from you any- ■ thing that ! s good. Let him have all I the bad, but you keep the good and giorify God with it.” She smiled through her tears, and seemed greatly relieved. .I I for one am free to say it again. If I there is any one troubled about a bad i promise he lias male, I have the bold- ' ness to say to him: On the authority of Ged’s word I declare you free from that 1 iniquitous vow.. lou go your way as if it were not made, and serve God. ’ I ' | Next Lesson—“ Reverence and Fidelity.”—Eccles. 5:1-12.
