[opinions or sketches of America, written
tv foreigners, are great nonsense. And
.jje is too short to bore one's self with

lane article Is that It is a diatribe against
the almighty dollar; you would never
think the Castellane family considered
money as worth anything. And yet their
oldest son married the daughter of a
man whose views in regard to money and
the making of it were, to put it plainly,

an honest Englishman, would rather not

auo a Frenchman came to New York,

and that all American men hired their

lutely unknown in this Country as the
vulgarity of the man who wrote, him down
a fool.
1 happened to see, at a public enter
tainment. a woman, loud and vulgar in
manner, with the stride of a man and
the voice of a fish woman. She was
from England, and had come to write a
book on this country. She got into the
so-called literary Set, met women who
never had any position in good society,
land pictured them as representing the
[bis! element in this country. She said
all American women painted, all talked
through their noses, and that when they
[wished to entertain, the hostess always
read a paper, and there was nothtng to
eat or drink but stale cake and claret
flinch. I know there are some Ameri
cans who do speak with the nasal cound,
hut I think they are found only in, the
extreme northeast. The western woman
has an accent and speaks a little loud
ly, but her words are distinct and well
chosen. New York women -are almost
entirely free from accent of any kind and
southern women, If they do cut their
words a little and forget their r’s, usual
ly have sweet, low voices and use good
English. They could not only teach this
woman how to speak well and gently,
licit they could remind her that the hy
[bri.l something, with the stride of a man
[and the vulgarity of a barmaid, seldom
[commends itself to the world at large as
St teacher of either manners or morals.
I Speaking of manners, the exclusive set

kxtent—"What I do is right.” Not long

[here, it ceases to be common." Then,
[o, they have taken to dressing as they
[ike for the street. Old clothes are worn
but, and if they look shabby it Is be
lattse “we” can afford, it. The funniest
[hing lone was by an Independent young
Soman of twenty-five. She was going to

pad no bag large enough to hold both.

but all I could discover was that ea*h
bought a ticket to hear the other elocute.
Elocution, to my way of thinking, is a
mortal sin. and the encouraging of It by
any club is dangerous. It is a fact that
women as organized bodies are seldom
successful unless they have, as their mo
tive. the doing of some charitable work.
The squabbles of church societies are
laughed at, the hospital committee is
made a subject of mirth, but. though these
women may say mean little things among
themselves, still they do their work well
and accomplish more than double what
men would. at any of the religious
institutions managed by wom**n. Nine
tlmos oul of ton they arc out of debt, near
ly or entirely self-supporting, and exquis
itely clean.
The Independent woman is very startling
to the fire department. The Idea is of
carrying her down the ladder In a long
white nightgown, with her hair streaming
and a general limp air, which seems to
say: "You are a man; 1 am only a weak
woman; take care of me.” She of the now
kind steps out in striped silk pajamas, and
the gallant fireman feels that the article
is able to take care of Itself, and he will
look after the women and children. These
pajamas are like the masculine ones ex
cept that they are in one piece, a ribbon
holds them at the waist line, there is a
frill of lace at the neck and sleeves, eye
lets for the jeweled buttons, while the ends
of the—of the—of the pantalettes, are
drawn around the ankles with ribbons and
frills of lace. Fancy Romeo going up a
ladder to tell of his love to Juliet in paja
mas! Fancy the supremely feminine in
this get-up! Fancy anything you like in it,
my dear man, but if any of your woman
kind incline toward It, set fire to it when
it appears on the clothesline, and take
away their pin-money.
The fashionable woman is achieving a
carriage that gives her the air of a duch
ess. The rules for it are: Shoulders
straight, head well back, eye lids droop
ing and eyes looking out from under
them as If they never saw anything so
low as the earth. It Is most effective. A
woman who carried herself this wav
showed a beautiful fan the other day at
an afternoon tea. Originally, it was a
plain, white wood one that cost fifty cents.
Now it would fetch thousands of dollars.
On each stick Is the name of some celeb
rity, and with the name is drawn some
thing that tells of his llfework. On one
stick, Just below the name of Alma Ta
dema is that of Edwin Durne Jones, who,
after putting the date below his signature,
drew the head of the other artist. Tosti
and Joseffy, each have drawn a bar of
music, while George Henrhel sketched a
tiny piano and a violin. Detaille drew,
in miniature, a soldier, presumably of the
Region, while George Houghton, on the
next stick, sketched the face of a beau
tiful girl. Maurice Courant drew a ma
rine. and Euke Fildes gave a picture of
an Englishman, who, in point of shab
biness, compared well with Mr. Micawber.
George Du Maurier (he hadn’t written
Trilby then) was content to sign his name
in tiny letters, and so was Helen Mod-
Jeska. Bastion I.epage drew a tiny sketch
of himself, and the Bonaparte bee, while
Nlounet Sully wrote a reminder of “Pier
rot," and everybody else added to his au
tograph something that was specially in
dividual. Wasn't that fan worth having?
This woman, with her dignified walk,
had taught herself something else. She re
membered what Dumas said; "No woman
should ever laugh; she may smile, for this
gives to her mouth its most
graceful curve.” He then goes
on to say that when a woman laughs she
makes herself ridiculous.
People who have studied these things
agree with the French writer, and it must
be confessed that there is nothing pret
tier to see than a woman's lips parted in
a smile, and showing between their redness
glistening white teeth. Who doesn't re
member Theo's smile? Who does
not remember Judic's smile?
But fancy if these wo
men had been Japanese—and had, after
the fashion in that country, shown gilded
teeth! Or. if instead of being clear white,
they had been, after the fashion of the far
east, blackened! Asa general thing, Ameri
can women have pretty teeth; but too of
ten their mouths are not well-shaped the
result of overindulgent mothers permitting
baldes to suck their fingers. One of the
prettiest women in New York has coarse
lips, for which she blames her mother; as
a child she was allowed to go to sleep with
her thumb in her mouth. Another woman
whose lips protrude Just In the center, al
so blames her mother for allowing her to
find consolation in her two forefingers. If
a child can't be persuaded into breaking
the3o bad habits, then its hands should be
tied together with broad ribbons. School
girls have a way of biting their lower lips,
making them supersensitive, and spoiling
the entire shape of the mouth. I speak of
this because mothers are invariably blam
ed for permitting their children to do such
things, and some mother may take to heart
what I say about it.
It is very nice to preach to mothers,
to tell them how they ought to make their
children behave, and how they ought
to dress them and care for them. Good
children are the exception, I regret to say,
rather than the rule. I don’t like prigs
among children, but I do like nice chil
dren. That small Boston boy who told
his New York cousin that the way to
spell •'fuss” was •'im-brog-lio,” is a little
too much for me. but I do like a well
mannered child. The small girl who looks
like an angel and behaves like a demon
was met by me the other day. Her eyes
were blue, her long curls -.vere gol.lcn, and
she answered to the name of "Cynthia.”
She insisted upon having some candy.
She screamed for it, she kicked for it.
she threw herself on the pavement and
moaned until a crowd gathered around
and tailed her mother hard-hearted, and
sympathized with that angel (?) child.
Her mother flushed but never gave in,
and after Cynthia had cried herself
hoarse, had soiled the entire front of her
white frock, she walked away beside her
mother, conquered. And the only re
gret her mother had was, that the pro
fessional spanker’s office was not near.

well-mannered child than if she had tri
umphed. All mothers, however, are not
like this one. In a large shop the other
day there was a small child who objected
to waiting while her mother -lid her shop
ping. They left. the child having a
stronger wilt than her mother. Eater on I
met them in a street car; Ihe small Imp
had eaten candy, drunk soda water and
consumed bananas until she was sick and
cross. She wouldn't sit still, and her
mother said to me. “Marie is so sensitive
that I never dare contradict her." Marie
heard her mother say this and announced
that unless she could play with hr
mother's watch she would scream herself
Into a nervous attack. She get the watch.
Now. what Marie wanted badly was to be
taught that she had three meals a day
and that she was to cat what she wanted
at those times; ihat when she went out
with her mother she was to behave herself,
and that ihe first time she threatened to
scream herself into a nervous attack she
would be permitted to do so.
I think it dreadful to frighten children,
and anyone who does it should be whipped
but I do delleve in raising children so that
they will be decent members of society
and not general nuisances. Speaking of
frightening children, there came under my
| observation not long ago a young girl who
was so nervous that she scarcely knows an
hour of good health, and this nervousness
was caused by the wickedness of a nurse.
Years before, when she was a baby, this
girl's mother was called to the deathbed
of a relation. She went, leaving the chtl
i dren In the charge of a nurse; and there
; was also a cook in the house.
The mistress said that she did not
think she would be back until Ihe next
! morning. It happened, however, that she
i returned at midnight. In going upstairs
with her husband, she heard the oldest
, boy, 5 years of age, and a girl of 1. crying
! bitterly. In a second Ihe mother was in
the nursery. Th“ little tols were crouched
in a corner in Iheir night-dresses, the
light was out and the baby wasn't visi
ble. As soon as he could, between his
1 sobs, the boy told this story: “Nurse and
and cook have gone out, and when baby
wouldn’t go to sleep, nurse had put her
in the cupboard and told her that if site
cried Ihe rats would eat her. and she did
cry, and sister and I would have gone
to her, but we were afraid the rats would
eat us.” The baby was discovered uncon
scious In the cupboard, and when the doc
tor was gotten, he sal.l she had gone
from one spasm into another as a result
of the fright, and he did not know whth
; er she would ever get over it. For a year
none of these children could be left alone
i day or night, and the baby, now this girl
of 16, has a nervous spell to-day If she Is
[ left alone in the dark. All that could be
done was to discharge those wicked ser
vants, and yet, I think they ought to have
been whipped and lynched. They had, of
! course, counted on the mistress not com
! ing back until morning, on their gelling
home before her and frtghtcntng the chil
dren into silence. A man who heard this
story told—an Englishman, 42 yenrß old,
6 feet 2 Inches in hight. with the shoulders
of an athlete—said that, when he was a
1 boy, he was told of l>og> men and ghouls
who eat up boys until even now, although
he knew it was nonsense, he waukl trem
ble In the dark if he thought of them.
All this is true. It is hoped that these
stories have adorned a tale, and It is
most earnestly trusted that they will point
a moral to people who believe that chil
dren can be governed by fright and made
to do right because of fear. It is wrong,
all wrong, on the word of Bab.
TWO REMARKABLE ORIOLES.
Hon They Assist a I'ntr of Mocking
llirds In Saving Their Home.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Macon, Ga., May 15.—Mrs. Cason, the
wife of a Oconee river planter, relates
the following interesting episode, which
we give for the benefit of your readers,
as it seems altogether unique in bird lore:
“Early this spring," says Mrs. Cason,
"a pair of mocking birds built their nest
in a slender young elm tree Just outside
my window. Before a single egg had been
laid therein, a violent wind came, toss
ing the tree hither and thither, utterly de
stroying the nest. With patient persever
ence the birds went again to work ,and
soon had the nest rebuilt In the self-same
I crotch, and this time the female deposited
two eggs within. One day, but a short
time thereafter, during a pretty severe
blow of wind, I observed the two mock
ing birds in considerable commotion, and
suspected that they feared another catas
trophe to their domicile. Feeling partic
ular interest in the result of the storm
for them I kept a pretty close outlook,
and bY and by saw the male bird fly
away, leaving the female sole protector
of the home. Wondering considerably at
this, and feeling an intense sympathy for
the poor female, I went out to see if I
could not devise some way to assist her
in her distress. Before I arrived at any
definite plan of action, however, the male
bird came flirting back, bringing with him
a couple of orioles that I had seen from
time to time in the orchard behind the
house. Perfectly familiar as I was with
the ingenuity of the oriole, I was not
prepared for what I now saw this pair
accomplish. After a hurried consulta
tion with the mocking birds, the yellow
fellows began to cast about for material
with which to operate in their friends'
behalf and one of them soon found a twine
string near five feet in length, which I had
left out In the garden after twining my
sweetpeas. As soon as he lit upon it he
called his mate, and the serious difficulty
of the rescue seemed solved, for they
went to work with a dispatch that would
have done credit to greater intelligence
than theirs is supposed to be. Each one
of the orioles grasped an end of the string
in his mouth and flew with it into the
tree, deftly looping It over the swinging
iimb just above the nest. This done, they
took the loose end and flew with it to the
rose lattice, about three feet distant, and
soon had it bound hard and fast to the
frame, thus holding the limb securely In
position."

New York. May 23.—With rare adroit
ness that new leader of Tammany. Fred
erick Smyth, has accompli-hcd by diplo
macy a revolution in the organixation
methods which all the power of Richard
Croker had been impotent to bring about.
The former recorder is a man of unusual
ability, as the metropolis is well aware.
Tammany under him will have a future
fully as picturesque at its past. It is no
secret that the reform element always in
dread of the tiger views the ascendancy
of Smyth and his opilcy with more alarm
than any development has yet occasioned.
"Tammany, at least." said the new
grand sachem, in reply to questions as to
the future of the great organization, "can
now offer a practical test of the truth of
the chief charge brought against it. You
know the organization has been pronounc
ed a mere combination of office-holders
and patronage seekers, the strength of
which was wholly due to control over the
public treasury’. Well. Tammany is out of
office, and certainly owes nothing to the
powers that be. If the organization holds
it own our friends, the enemy, must find a
new reason for the existence of Tammany
strength.'
“Do you expect Tammany to return to
power very soon?"
"Really, predictions are so easy to make
and are nothing hut one's pinions slated as
facts. Tammany's object is to be as much
in touch with the people as possible—the
popular mouthpiece. If Taminanv has
made mistakes, let It take the conse
quences. If, on the contrary, the organiza
tion makes Itself recognized as an Instru
ment of popular government, if it gives a
welcome to all worthy elements and comes
to he recognized as a [lower for good. 1 do
not see how it Is possible for Tammany to
fail to return to power."
"What do Tammany men think of the re
form government?"
"I can't speak for all of them. Mr.
Strong, himself, is. I think, looked upon
as a very fair minded man. He may have
made mlstakes.but then it Is human to err.
I think the great tfouble with the element
now in possession of the city government Is
Its inevitable tendency to get above the
people. The class called reformers forget
in their eagerness to put experiments In
operation that they must get the people's
indorsement first. Now, the people usually
are conservative. Our reforming friends
seem to think for some reason or other
that they are above the people, belter than
the people. They are thus apt to get out
of sympathy with their constituents."
1 he new grand sachem is by no means
likely to let the grass grow* under his feet.
Already the rank and file of Tammany
have been quickened with anew life. The
torpidity immediately following Ihe elec
tion has been succeeded by positive en
thusiasm. Recent developments in munici
pal government have slightly alarmed the
present rulers of the city. Mayor Strong
Is fully as astute as his enemies, and he
has already taken measures to prevent a
repetition of the recent mistakes. He is
fond of saying that in the old Tammany
they had a tiger to deal with, and that
now they have a sphynx.
It is utiderstoo that Rev. Mr.
William . Cleveland, who is a
brother of the President of the United
Stales, declined an offer to enter a New
York city pulpit several weeks ago, ow
ing to certain complications in his present
pastorate. Now, however, matters are
smoothed out and a fashionable church
here has asked him to consider an offer
first made last year. Mr. Cleveland is
said to have given a qualified fonsemt
to think the matter over, but In any
event he will not be here until the
spring of next year. But there can be no
doubt that the President's brother Is a
rising man In the Presbyterian church.
His prominence as a theologian led to his
election to the Presbyterian General As
sembly, and his recent record there has
confirmed the favorable impression al
ready formed of his character and abil
ity. Men do not win fame in the church
at a bound, and Mr. Cleveland has un
doubtedly been overshadowed by his
brother Grover. Yet, In recent years he
has made a decided stir In the church
and lias been invited to numerous pul
pits all over the country. Offers of this
kind, however, the pastor Invariably de
clines, being of a decidedly retiring na
ture, and little likely to rare for a sensa
tional fame, it will occasion rejoicing
to the Presbyterians of New York, how
ever, to learn that he will soon be among
thqir metropolitan pastors. It was Will
iam Cleveland, by the way, and not Gro
ver, who achieved some note in t‘arly
youth by writing fanciful tales for the
magazines, some of which attracted at
tention, although written anonymously.
The tales were poe-like in some respects,
dealing with dragons among the stars
that fed on the tears of the Nautilus,
and smilar fancies. But, 4n spite of all
the Indications, the one brother became u
President and the other a pastor.
There have been two or three upheavals
in the various charities with which Miss
Helen Gould is connected. This wealthy
young lady has lately manifested prudish
tendencies to an extraordinary degree,
and many philantrophic ladies with whom
she is associated think It would be well
were she less prone to severely moral
views. Miss Gould, it will be remembered,
wrote a letter to the committee in charge
of the entertainment giver by a kinder
garten charity, in which she severely ortt
irized some tableaux vivants. Miss Gould
also has an aversion to studies of the
nude and to certain plays dealing with
the question of sex. There have been in
dications that she will before long go ac
tively into work connected with social
purity, a somewhat new thing for her.
Her brother George is said to be dis
pleased by her indifference to social af
fairs. The fact Is, that the relations be
tween the two are far from cordial. The
conviviality of her brother Howard is
likewise distasteful to her, and she ob
jected to the bottles, decanters and cig
arettes he had aliout him on the occasion
of his recent visit to the Irvington coun
try seat. But Howard Gould is a conviv
ial soul, and takes his bottles and cigars
with him wherever he goes, regardless
of his sister.
It was reported about Wall street last
week that llussell Sage was quite ill—ln
fact, that his symptoms were alarming,
his physician and himself. Investigation
revealed the fact that the financier was a
sick man, but his malady did not assume
a very serious aspect. The truth seems to
be that Mr. Sage is beginning to feel the
weight of years. He never was a very
strong man physically, and he caught
quite a cold in the blustering weeks of
March, from which he suffered a long time.
The Injuries he received at the time of the
liomli explosion in his office were also of a
serious character, although not much has
been said of them since, except in connec
tion with the man Ealdlaw. Mr. Sage takes
a great deal more care of himself than for
merly, frequently staying at home and In
dulging in such unwonted luxuries us an
easy chair, a cheery glass and a visit from
his doctor. There Is talk, too, of ome re
ligious interests aroused in the mind of
Mr. Sage as his earthly career nears its
end. He has already contributed money to
the building of a country church.
A great deal of regret is expressed in
New York society- because that beautiful
gran Ida lighter of W. !| Vanderbilt. Mina
Sloan*. will live In Kngland |ermanently.
as aoon as her honeymoon is over. Young
Hurtien lias certain interests there which
appear to render this step imperative.
They are a very interesting: couple, and are
likely to !*e heard of in the social history
of tlreat Britain. James A. Burden. Jr.,
will hace a small-country estatdishment
near I'livedcn. where Willlpm Waldorf
Astor lives. Both of these young people
are experts in country ani\iHment * anti
devote! to fox hunting. They have let
ters of introduction to all the great per
sonages, of England, and loth look for
ward with interest to ihelr new home
there. Miss Sloane will be mintkHl by the
proteges she has in New York She hs*
been very active in the new’sttoys* chari
ties. and is known as the tenderst hearted
belle In the 3W. Many anecdotes illustrat
ing this fact are current in New York.
For example, about a year ago a ragged
bootblack took refuge from a rainstorm
underneath the door of her father's house.
Miss Sloane saw him wet through and
shivering, and insisted that he be brought
inside and fed, that he be given dry
clothes. When this was done the little
chap insisted upon paying for his enter
tainment by blacking all the boots In the
house That task was a larger one than
he dreamed of. and it was impossible for
him to undertake it, but he was brought
into the parlor and allowed to black Mr.
Burden's boots, and Miss Sloane. heiress
to millions, played the piano for him
while he did so.
The assertion that Miss Francis Wil
lard is to wed is pronounced premature.
Rumors connecting her with an English
socialist of wealth and position have been
rife for a year past. But Miss Willard
is not engaged at all. Of course. It is
quite possible that she will marry, but
those who have had opport uni ties of ob
serving her in New York do not think
It likely that she will give up her work
to marry any one. She loves her ruuse
far more ardently than she loves love.
There has been much speculation as to her
motive in leaving this country so sud
denly. She explains It by alluding to
the coming world's temperance congress
in London. Miss Willard objects to the
dime museum methods of certain tem
perance workers in the metropolis. There
was a delirium tremens object lesson given
by one of the organizations she visited.
It consisted of representations of snakes,
serpents, monsters and various crusta
ceans visible to the victims of drink. Not
a few' topers had attacks of the malady
as a result of looking fct these exhibits.
Miss Willard frowned upon the enter
prise. and was rather disliked by its
originators for doing so. But all things
considered, this lady Is the most popular
temperance worker in the country.

Mabel Love has declined a liberal offer
to dance herself Into the good graces of
America next winter. Mabel Love Is a
young miss whose life has been full of
Incidents that go far to drive dull care
away from newspaper readers. At the
age of lfi, seven years ago, she was an un
known chorus girl in one of the numerous
comic companies In London. She chanced
to fall desperately In love with a young
man, since dead, but at that time the son
of the heir apparent to a great throne.
The girl’s passion must have been un
reciprocated, for one day London learned
thafthere was such a being as Mabel Love.
It having read that she had attempted
suicide by Jumping Into the Thames near
Blackfrlar’s. She was fished out, dried,
and, on the strength of her performance,
was made second solo dancer In the “La
Clgale” company, then playing at the
Lyric, with Geraldine I'lmar In the title
role. After that Miss Love rose rapidly,
until now she can demand SSOO per week
as first boy In the Christmas pantomimes.
Ambassador Bayard Is to be the guest

Baby Costello, the little American dan

success throughout the provinces.
The English papers announce, with
gravity: “It is very probable that the
President of the I'nitod States will pay
an official visit to the President of France
next autumn." This is an echo of the
story telling of the proposed yachting tour
of Mr. Cleveland at the expiration of his
term. /
From Paris comes the news that Mile.
Faure, the eldest daughter of the French
president, who was to have been married
next month to a French deputy, has brok
en the engagement, and has determined to
remain in single blessedness for sometime
longer.
There are rumors, constantly reiterated,
that W. T. Stead Is to again become the
editor of a I,oiKjon paper. His return to
the ranks of dally newspaperdom will
lend plctuesqueness to London Journalism,
If nothing else.
Last week the Times contained the fol
lowing under the caption of “In Memotl
am:"
George Gordon Noel, la>rd Byron, died
nobly for Greece, at Mlspolonghi, April
19. 1824.
"When love who sent forgot to save
The young, the beautiful, the brave.”
Sir Walter Scott, speaking of his death,
said:
"It Is as If the sun had gone out."
The explanation of this is that a certain
feminine admirer left a sum of money in
her will for the purpose of Inserting such
a memorial notice every year until the au
thorities in Westminster abbey shall al
low the name of Byron to be inscribed
In the poet's corner.
The most Interesting happening of this
month will be the Sixteenth Koyal Mili
tary tournament to be held at the Agri
cultural hall, Islington, from May 23 to
June 6. Its leading feature will be an
historic pageant of the Third Hussars
(King's Own) and the Huffs (East Kent
Regiment). Beginning with 1572, the vari
ous epochs of military history will be il
lustrated by the different dresse and equip,
ment of both Infantry and cavalry.
News has been received here ’of the
death of the wealthiest man in South
America, an Irishman from County Bal
linacargy, called Don Miguel Dugan,
known In hl.s youth as "Mickey Doogan."
He leTt an estate valued at $30,000,01)0. On
his ranch near Buenos Ayres are 550.000

JOHN BITNYAN ON SILVKIt.
A Hriimrknble ForeshnduwliiK of the
I'ut* of lll€* 111 iik-l a 111 t.
From the New York Post.
Then Christian and Hopeful outwent
him, and went till they came at a delicate
plain called Ease, where they went with
much content; but that plait* was so nar
row, so they were quickly got over It.
Now at the further side of that plain
was a little hill called Lucre, and In that
hill a silver mine, which some of them had
formerly gone that way, because of the
rarity of It, had turned aside to see, but
going too near the brink of the pit, the
ground being deceitful under them, broke,
and they were slain; some also had been
maimed there, and could not to their dying
day be their own men again.
Then I saw In my dream that a little
off the road, over against the Bllver-Mlne,
stood Demas (gentleman like) to call the
passengers to come and see, who said to
Christian and his fellow: “Ho, turn aside
hither, and I will show you a thing."
Christian. “What things so deserving as
to turn us out of the way?”
Demas. “Here Is a silver mine, and
some digging in It for treasure: If you will
cofhe. with a little (tains you may provide
richly for yourselves."
Hopeful. Then said Hopeful: “Let us
go see."
Chr. "Not I,” said Christian; I have
heard of this place before now and how
many have there been slain; and besides,
that Treasure is a snare to those that
seek It; for it hindereth them In their Pil
grimage.” Then Christian called to De
mas, saying: “Is not this place danger
ous'.’ Hath it not hindered many In their
Pilgrimage?"
De. “Not very dangerous, except to
those that arc careless;" but, withal, he
blushed us he spake.
Chr. Then sand Christian to Hopeful;
"Let us not stir a step, out still keep on
our way.”
Hope. "1 will warrant you, when By
ends comes up. If he hath the same Invi
tation as we, he will turn in thither to
see.”
Chr. "No doubt thereof, for his princi
ples lead him that way, and a hundred t
one but he dies there.”
De. Then Demas railed again, say In |
“But will you not come over and see?'
Chr. Then Christian roundly anawerdk
saying: "Demas, thou art an enemy M
the right ways of the Lord of this wav
and hast been already condemned for
thine own turning aside by one of his
majesty’s Judges, and why seekest thou
to tiring us into the like condemnation?
Hestdes, If we at all turn aside, our Lord
the King will certainly hear thereof, and
will thereby put us to shame, where we
should stand with boldness before him ’’
Demas cried again, That he was also
one of the fraternity; and that if they
would tarry a little he also himself would
walk with them,
Chr. Then said Christian, “What is thy
name? Is It not by the which I havi
called thee?”
De. “Yes. my name Is Demas. I am tha
son of Abraham.”
Chr. ”1 know you. Gehazl was your
great-grandfather, and Judas your fathe’-
and you have trod their steps, it Is but V
dcvlllsl. prank that thou usest; thy fat***
was hanged fora traitor, and thevu *<><*.■.-
est no better reward. Assure thvself thaf
when we come to the king we will do him
word of this thy behavior.” Thus they
went their way:
Hv this time By-ends was come agiln
within sight, and he at the first beck went
over to Demas. Now whether he fell Into
the Pit. by looking over the brink ther--
of; or whether he went down to dig. or
whether he was smothered In the bottom
by the damps that commonly arise, of
these things I am not certain; but this I
observed, that he never was seen again la
the way.
By-ends ar.d Sllver-Demas both agree-
One calls, the other runs, that he may be
A sharer in his Lucre; so these two
Take up In this world and no further go.
