Sleep, for the Master slept,
To rest His weary head;
Weep, for the Master wept,
And Mourned the silent dead.
Wan for the Master prayed,
Who had no need of prayer;
Sigh, for the Master sighed,
In the light of another's care.
Heal, for the Master healed,
And cured deep-seated stain;
Touch, for the Master touched,
With dignity and pain.
Eat, for your Master ate,
At holy festive board,
And help your trembling feet
To tread the heavenly road.
Sing, for your Master sang,
The deep triumphant song:
Bring in the needy, bring
A guilty, helpless throng.
Sleep, for your Master slept,
Dream of His crown and throne;
Rise, in your sleepless might,
And claim him for your own.

The Porter.
He is in danger of being forgotten. He
comes before us oow as the man who
puts cheeks on our luggage, or the man
who carries parcels. The original porter
was different. I recall a scene of my
boyhood. I first entered the Bay of
Smyrna as a cabin boy. One day I
was in Asia sent ashore to deliver a
parcel at the residence of a native mer-
chant far uptown, and when I reached
the place I made practical acquaintance
with the potter, a well-dressed, comfort-
able -looking man, who was impressed
with the dignity of his office. I took in
the scene. Here was the man and his
dwelling, a comfortable bunk on the
side of the portal was a part or the
equipment; here he slept by night and
watched by day. This portal wee the
only entrance. If a pail of miles was
taken out it did not escape Ms notice;
if a basket of fruit went in far Inc
master's table, it passed under the eye
of the porter. All ingress and, egress of
persons and things passed with the ap-
proval of the porter.
I have read a few books in my day; I
have had no such help to realize a scene
so vividly as that one visit afforded me.
The Master gives every man his wcrlc
and he commands the porter to watch
(Mark xiii. 34).
This simple attitude suffers no dim-
inution in its transfer from Old Testa-
ment to New Testament times.
The entrance to the dwelling in those
olden times was absolutely one, like a
sheepfold formed out of a cave. The .por-
ter controlled the lestablisinnent—ane
most important and best trusted ser-
vant of a11.
The Master says, "I am the door,' the
living, discriminating, absolute One. We
are under -porters and we are commaad-
ed to watch. What shall we let in at
the portal of the soul? Truth in its
purity, love in its simplicity, courage
in its energy, hope with its lamp— J11
that makes for righteousness.
With redoubled care we must watch
what cometh out.
The floor of the portal is like that
beach scene so clearly set forth, dis-
crimination, selection, dispersion—"They
gathered the good fish and cast the bad
away."
Each believer must of necessity be a
watcher. Constant fidelity, wonderful
care, continuing instant in prayer. We
must be armed for silent services if we
are to be men. Our very friends are kept
by silences, rather than by confidences.
Our enemies are weighed and measured
in silence, and we are secretly com-
forted that temper and irritation soon
wear themselves out. Napoleon sold the
Louisiana valley in 1804 to worry Eng-
land, and lately England's costly trea-
sures adorned the great occasion at St.
Louis.
Seward bought Alaska from Russia
forty years ago with the same kind of
temper and lately a few gentlemen -Bs-
cussed and dined together and sealed the
business of the boundary line.
There vole peace -before. there was war.
Let. us be silent, solicitous, vigilant
watchers on the walls of Zion.

0 Lamb of God, who takest away the
sin of the world, have mercy upon us
and take sway the guilt and burden of

Helping the Young.
The most potent influence on earth is
always a personal thing. Indeed, we
only exist as persons. and we only know
ourselves and know one another as per-
sons, "Right" and "wrong" have no pro-
per meaning except in regard to the rela-
tions between persons. Spiritual forces
are functions of personality. The awful
power which sways the eters in their
courses is blind and helpless compared
with the attraction of noble example
and the energy of self -forgetful love.
When we reflect and consider care-
fully, .we may perhaps discover the peo-
ple who have exerted the most decisive
influence for good in our own lives, and
the way in Which they have exercised it.
This will give 113 the clue to the secret of
personal influence. Probably we shall
find that our characters received their
bent and stamp through the impressions
made upon us at different times by a
quite limited number of men and women.
Probably they ease affected us not by
their special gifts or abilities, but simply
by their sheer goodness. Their faith be-
came a contagion to our souls. Their eio
ample lasted as "an external conscience"
--rebuking and convicting and inspiring
and confirming our consciences. Their
lives made the great words and truthe
of the Bible living and real to M. They
redeemed to to the Redeemer. In their
faces we caught our first glimpse of the
very eountemance of Christ, revealed
afresh in the lineaments of disciples who
loved
Lovest Thou Me?
(By Rev. M. Ramsay, D. D., in Do
minion Presbyterian.)
"He ealth unto him the third time,
I'Simon Barjonae, loveet thou mel""---.
John xxi. 17.
.Some people said it Was impossible to
love Jesus Christ without seeing Him,
But if Ile lived, Ile could be loved, for
it was possible to love an unseen friend.
They could. read Christ's word and, learn
of His ways. Why couldn't they love
Hite
What was it to love Christ? Was it
that they might have Him in their pos-
session? When they said they loved
Jesus they desired to make themselves
his rather than to have IIim become
theirs,
They could have no love for a human
being or even for an animal if they
only desired that person or animal for
themselves. No boy loves an animal
or a human being who simply wants to.
make it his own and not that he might
care for it.
The purer their love the more they
would desire to have some friend Or
animal to love that they might serve
the objects of their affections and make
the world happier for them. The little
girl who put her arms around her moth -
pee neck and said, "Mother, I want to
help you," ?mega she loved her mother
by willingly giving up her play in order
to help the mother, As they laved fath-
er or mother or brother or sister, so
they ought to love Jesus Christ because
Ha was their unseen friend.
Why should they love Jesus Christ?
They should love Him because of His
loveliness. ,Jesus was the one perfect
Romer of the human race. He was
perfectly lovely in the best sense of
thos. words. He grew up perfectly spot-
less in beauty in spite of all the trials
that came upon Him, and continued so
throughout His whole life altogether
lovely.
How good, how gracious was the life
of Jesus Christ. See what moral cour-
age he had. They admired the beauty
of the ivy but did they not also admire
the strength of the oak about which it
clings? In the life of Jesus they saw
entwined all tenderness, all strength.
The great point was that it was for
their sakes that Jesus Christ wished to
let men see His loveliness. It was for
Peel: salvation that the Son of man
cam: down on earth to live. Heaven
am not be their hope if Christ had
not borne Ms cross,
Why was it that so many refused. to
love Christ? Because they preferred
other gods. There were people in Ot-
tawa whohad made a god of money
and were willing to become its servants
ant toil for its sake. They were becom-
ing old. before their time, in order that
they might pile up heaps of gold and
silver. They were making themselves
small, were debasing their souls through
wmelapping silver and gold.
Gold and silver and pennies were very
useful, but how many people there were
that would not put them to use. Money
did much good—built churches, sent out
missionaries to heathen lands—but it
was often the rival of Jesus Christ and
drove Him_ from His rightful throne in
the human heart.
A Pageant of the Skies.
(By A Banker).
Of all the varied manifestations vi
Nature's grandeur, of her power, end
of her wrath, perhaps with the one ex-
ception of an outburst of the imprisoned
fires ever tumultuously raging beneath
the crust of the earth, the numerous
developments of that subtile energy—
electricity, are the most awe-inspiring
and the most beautiful. And of all these
diversified pagegts doubtless the most
transcendently suhlime is a great olis-
play of the diffused. electricity known
ae sheet lightning.
The twilight is fast fading away and
the advancing shades of night are veil-
ing in gloom and obscurity both the
heaving waters of the great ocean and
the long sweep of the iron -bound rock
girt mast with its scarped and. buttres-
Sed ramparts, which for ages past have
stayed her proud waves, and have with
stood her most furious onslaughts. And
now from time to time the line OI the
distant horizon is dimply lighted up with
an intermittent lambent glow, at, first
but faint and sharowy but ever gather-
ing in intensity and volume until at each
momentarily recurring flash the heavens
are illumined in a flood of shimmering,
coruscating fire and the glittering, tos-
sing waves sparkle and gleam as though
the great deep were a splendent ocean
of molten silver. And now the radiant
and august sr ectaele is solemn a -ad al-
together majestic; as though the very
heavens were opening—and some of
those who in their childhood had the rare
privilege of witnessing this vivid. and lus-
trous display wondered that they could
not see the angels flying to and fro in
the courts of heaven; as though a
glimpse of the bright spirit world were
opened to our gaze; as though the laws
of nature were for a. moment suspend el
and a supernatural brightness from
realm beyonds , beyond the ether were
irradiating the earth. For the firmament
appears to open. and from the horizon
far up towards the zenith itself the ex-
panse of space is flashing in a flood of
light, the momentarily mewl a; inter-

Receipts of live stock at the city mar-
ket eince Tuesday, as reported by the
railways, were 120 carloads, consisting of
1,703. cattle, 1,502 bogs, 091 sheep and
lambs, with 325 calves. The quality of
fat cattle, outside of the stall -fed lots,
ivas not good. The high prices paid has
had the effect of bringing a large wit-
her of grassers that ought to have been
left for at least a month or six weeks
longer on the grass. There were many
cattle that were certainly not fit to kill
for beef purposes. The result has been
that prices for this glass slumped an-
other 50e per ewt, since Tuesday, or fully
a dollar per met, lees than was pia for
grass cows a week ago. Prices for stall -
fed cattle held. up better than might
have been expected, considering the
heavy decline in the grassers, but
they also were off fully 250 per cwt.
Alice a week ago, especially for butchers.
Exporters—Prices for exporters ranged
from $5.85 to $0.40, the bulk selling at
about $0 to $0.10 per ewt. Export bulls
sold at $4.50 to $5, and some very choice
quality bulls brought more money.
Prime picked lots of butchers sold at
$5.00 to $5.85; loads of good at $5.50 to
$5.70; medium at $5.15 to $5.30; common
at $4.00 to $5.10; cows, $3.50 to $4.50 per
cwt.
' Mitch (lows—Trade in milch cows was
not as good as it has been. The demand
was only for those of good to choice
quality. Medium and common light cows
were slow sale. Prices ranged from $2.5
to $55 each.
Veal Calves—The deliveries of veal
calves were liberal. Trade was fairly
strong and prices ranged from $3 for in-
ferior to $0.50 for good, and $7 for prime
quality new milk -fed calves. The bulk
of calves sold at $5 to $6 per cwt.
Sheep and Lambs—There was a good
market for all sheep and lambs of good
quality. Export sheep $5 to $5.40; rams
$3.50 to $4.25; Iambs $3 to $6 each, and
prime lots 'brought as high RS $7 each,

continues exceedingly active. The de -
mend for all lines is active. There*
also a good volume of business moving
in groceries. There is now a heavy
movement of freight at this port. ',the
amount of incoming traffic is particular-
ly large. The export business continues
Ott the light side. Collection% from al-
most all parts of Canada are showing
some improvement, following better con-
ditions in retail trade. Money is still
exceedingly scarce and firm. It is title
factor that has to a very large extent
kept prices for Canadian securities at
the low figures which have been ruling
for some months, There is a well de-
fined hope that money will be freer in
the near future, Such predictions, how-
ever, have been made for some months.
Toronto—There has been a good tone
to general trade here during the past
week. Better weather has increased the
retail movement of summer lines and
wholesalers report an improved re -order
business. Wholesale buyers of dry goods
are reported covering themselves as far
as possible ahead into 1008, Cottons are
firm and the linen market is somewhat
Panicky. Silks are moving upwards, and
Orders are already placed for this time
next year. Trade in high class ready-
made clothes is better than it has ever
been at this time of the year. The
movement in groceries is active. The
movement of canned goods is now heavy
and prices are firm. Teas are quiet.
Money is showing a slightly easier tone.
Collections are also improving. The out-
look for Ontario crops is reported as sat-
isfaetory.
Winnipeg—Uncertainty regarding the
coming crops has, to a certain extent,
unsettled trade here. The situation,
however, looks more cheerful as time
goes on. It is now generally accepted
that, while the grain area in Manitoba
will be lower than last year, in the Pro-
vinces of -Saskatchewan and Alberta the
increase will be very large.
Vancouver and Victoria—A good brisk
trade is moving in all lines hero. Pro-
vincial industries are busily engaged.
The lumber -trade has had 6, good Sea-
son. Last winter logs were scarce and
dear, but the continued fine weather
during the past month or two has re-
sulted in a heavy cut and prices are
easier, To, relieve the situation opera-
tions are to be ceased, This will put in-
to the labor market about 2,000 men
who are badly needed in other branches
of industry.
Quebec—Summer trade is fairly on,
and reports are generally favorable.
Owing to the large number of visitors in
the city during the past week retailers
have been kept busy. Weather condi-
tions are favorable to growing crops.
Reports in the Province of Quebec east
of Three Rivers are almost unanimous

MARK TWAIN.
MAKES A SPORTING OFFER TO
BUY WINDSOR CASTLE.
The King Appreciated His Jokes and
Gave Him Royal Warrant to Im-
prove on History Whenever He
Felt Like It.
London, June 24.—Three Kings met
at 111ndsor to -day, the King or Great
Britain and Ireland, the King of Siam
and the king of humorists. They all
seemed to enjoy themselves. The oc-
casion was King Edward's great garden
party of which six thousand invitations
had be -en issued. Mark Twain was
accompanied to Windsor by Mr. Hen-
niker Heaton, the "father of Imperial
penny postage," who introduced him to
many of the King's guests on his way
to the party, including Sir Henry Camp-
bell -Bannerman, Fridtjof Neilsen, Sir
Henry Mortimer Durand and Ellen
Terry.
.After tea, which was served on the
lawns, Ambassador Reid presented
Mark Twain to King Edward and
Queen Alexandra, and the King and
the humorist spent a quarter of an
hour in conversation.' The King laugh-
ed heartily at Twain's jokes. The Queen
also joined in the conversation and was
much amused when Twain asked if he
could buy the Windsor Castle grounds
from Her Majesty.
Then the King caled on him to meet
the other guests. He introduced. Twain
to the King of Siam, the Duke of Con-
naught, Prime Arthur of Connaught
and .others. .Prince Arthur is to re-
ceive a degree at Oxford at the mine
time as the American humorist, and he
remarked that lie would collapse if call-
ed upon for a speech. Thereupon Twain
offered to undertake to speak for him.
Mark Twain wore the regulation
frock coat and silk hat at the garden
party. Speaking of his reception there
he said:
'Ms Majesty was very courteous. In
the course of the conversation I re-
minded him of -the episode -sixteen years
ago, when I had the honor to walk

Orchard's story and may produce the
ramie' of the sale of the gunpowder
with which Orchard says he made the
bomb which he says he exploded at 14
Erect Bradley's door. This will complete
the corroboratiou of this chapter. So
far many statements made by Orchard
le his confession on the stand have been
corroborated. He told of the house he
visited and the rooms ha' occupied in Sian
Francisco; he told of experiMents with
the peculiar bomb which, lie says, was
invented by Pettibone. He told of re-
ceiving money from "Pat Bone," who be
said was Pettibone; he told of the poi -
soma milk; Ito described his plans to
blow Bradley and possibly his whole
family to their death with is bomb load-
ed. with dynamite; he gave his hotel
addrees, and each statement has been
corroborated by witnesses whose testi-
mony hits not been successfully aseailed
in their cross-examination. ,
The defence will not attempt to deny
or contradict Orchard's eta -temente that
he is many times a murderer, or that he
is guilty of crimes which lie stands
charged with, but they maintain their
client, Haywood, had no connection with
them, and. to -day or to -morrow will
naive that the charge against Haywood
be dismissed, because the State has fail-
ed to show his conneetion with any of
the crimes Orchard line told of, or to
connect him with the specific crime with
which he is charged.
The defence will be conducted by Mr.
Darrow, and he intimates there are cur -
prises to come. Evidence to -day, accord-
ing to the State's counsel, will be im-
portant in the linking of Haywood. The
real struggle begins with the opening of
the case for the defence and the outlin-
ing of tts case. It is possible that court
will adjourn untli Monday, when an ad-
journment is taken this afternoon.

GIRLS AS PLATE LAYERS.
Labor Scarce in Germany, They Have to
Take Men's Places,
Berlin, June 24.—Germany's labor
famine, an aspect of her prosperity,
has become so a -cute that it has been
found. necessary to impress peasant
girls into the railway service as plate
layers and repairers.
A gang of them is now hard at work
near Beyersdorf, much to the disgust of
the farmers, who there, as elsewhere,
are suffering severely from inability
to secure sufficient men or women
workers.

ideal in every respect and the entire
party is in raptures with this beautiful
mountain resort and its environments.

CUT ADRIFT.
NATIONALISTS SEPARATE FROM
THE BRITISH PREMIER.
They Decide to Inaugurete at Once a
"Great and Really Virile" Movement
for Home Rule.
Dublin, June 24.—Carrying to a logical
conclusion their recent repudiation of
the Government's attitude towards Ire-
land, the Nationalists to -day formally
cut themselves adrift from Sir Henry
Campbell -Bannerman and his colleagues,
and initiated a new and active campaign
for Home Rule. A meeting of the Irish
League directory assembled here, under
the presidency of John Redmond, and
sat for four hours to -day. The official
report records the adoption of several
important resolutions. By the first of
these it was resolved to "inaugurate
without further delay a great and really
vinil movement to win thee full na-
tional self-government which must be
secured before the foundations of Ire-
land's future prosperity can be laid."
The resolution affirmed the country's
demand for an elected Legislature and
executive, responsible thereto, and urg-
ed a speedy and united expression of
the national determination to secure
these rights. The directory was empow-
ered to organize a series of great public
demonstrations to this end throughout
the country, and all the members of the
party were called upon to energetically
devote themselves to the promotion of
vigorous and sustained agitation
throughout the coming autumn and win-
ter.
The meeting recorded its confidence in
the Parliamentary party under the lead-
ership of John Redmond, and heartily
approved the party's decision to with-
slraw its general support front the pres-
ent Government.

THEN TOSSES CHILDREN COPPERS
AND SHOOTS HIMSELF,
New York, June 24.—After playing for
an hour with a score of little girls at
Fort Clinton and telling them war stor-
ies'Philip Iathm, war veteran and real
estate dealer, shot himself dead. in Cen-
tral Park to -day. His last act before
pressing the muzzle of his revolver to
his right ear was to plunge his hand in-
to Ine pocket, draw out hundreds of
dillies, nickels and pennies and throw
them in the air.
As the coins came down on the grass
the children scrambled for them, and
while they gathered the dimes and nick-
els the old man fired the revolver and
ended his life.
The old man entered the park at 10
o'clock, and began playing with a half-
dozen children. He gave them a handful
of small coins and soon other little girls
and boys came till the veteran Was sur-
rounded by dozens of clamoring young-
sters. Ile quieted them by saying he
would tell them a story, and they listen-
ed with rapt attention to his narrative
of the battle of Harlem Heights. It was
a dramatic prologue to the tragdy that
came a few moments later.
Lahm lived at 01 East One Hundred
and Eighth street, only a short distance
from old Fort Clinton.

bridges, ci distance of 200 yards. Both*
of them, he said, set fire to ,Tenkine
