So in the darkness, and without a
murmuring word from any of them,
our party dividod, and my pulses
beat fast, as, followed by two strong
fellows. I entered tho hidden room,
and, advancing to tho grating, looked
in.
The Styrian had kindled a light,
and the sound of his curses came
plainly to ray ears as ho stalked to
and fro, raging at his inability to
discover how tho midnight thief had
escaped.
Kven as I watchod him his fury re-
ceived a check, for loud and urgent
came the summons from without, and
the sound of rough voicos calling on
my name.
For awhile ho stood like an ar-
rosted statue of doubt and ajiger,
then ho strode to tho door with a
gesture as if ho would drive away

the instant 1 leaped silently out of

been so enormous, I think I should

odds of three men against out*, but
as it was wo found all our work cut
out to secure him to the table, which
was solid enough to lit a prison.
Hound and humiliated, the Styrian
showed his teeth in a snarl of malig-
nant hate as he looko 1 up at me.
••You use yot.r guests strangely in
this country." lie said; "first you rob
and then you deprive them of. their

I told him the Styrian's story from
the beginning; of his interview with
Judith, and everything down to the
present time.
"The game is in your own hands,"
he said, when 1 stopped, "you have
only to sit down and watch the man.
If ho shows symptoms of collapse,
send for me, but it's tho most extra-
ordinary—" he paused abruptly.

And he disappeared upstairs' as I
went out into the grey morning, more
than satisfied with tno night's work,
and full of hopes of wnat the next
twenty-four hours should bring forth.

It was midday when I awoke from
tho heavy slumber into which 1 fell
from pure exhaustion on my return
from Dr. Cripps, my ltonbs aching
from tho hard chair in which I had
slept, and with what felt liko the
brand of a rod hot iron deep in my
shoulder.
I looked across to tho bound figure
by whose side was set cup and platter,
both untouched, though |the wolfish

so much as a starving, huntod dog.

listeners I)r. Tulmage preached cn
the spiritual conflicts of life, taking bis

was left alone; and there wrestled u

prevailed not ngainst him, be touched
the hollow of his thigh; und the hol-
low of Jacob's thigh wnsout*of joint as
he wrestled with him. Ami he said,
'Let mc go, for the day breaketli.'
And he taid, "1 will not let thee go ex-

The dust arose from a traveling
herd of cattle, and sheep, and goats,
and camels. They ure the present
that Jacob sends tu get the good-will
of his offended brother. That night
Jacob halts by the brook Jabbok. Hut
there is no rest for the weary man.
No shinintr bidder to let the angels
down into his dream: but a fierce coin-
bat. that lasts until the morning,
with an unknown visitor. They each
try to throw ihe other. The unknown
visitor, to reveal his superior power,
by a touch wrenches Jacob's thigh bone
from its socket, perhaps maiming him
for life. As ou the morning sky the
clusters of purple cloud begin to ripen,
Jacob sees it is un angel with whom
he has been contending, and not one
of bis brother's coadjutors. "Let me
go.'' cries the angel, lifting himself
up into increasing light "the day
brcaketh."
You see. in the first plaee, that < od
allow* good people sometimes to get
into a terrible struggle. Jacob was
a good man; but here he is left alone
in the midnight to wrestle with a tre-
mendous influence by the brook
Jabbok. For Joseph, a pit; for
Hauiel, a wild beast den; for David,
dethronement and exile; lor John the
Baptist, a wilderness diet and the ex-
ecutioner's axe: for Peter, a prison;
for Paul, shipwreck: for John, deso-
late 1'atmos; for Vashti, most insult-
ing cruelty: for Josephine, banish-
ment: for Mrs. Sigourney. the agony
of a drunkard's wife; for John Wesley,
stones hurled by an infuriated mob:
for ( atherine, the Scotch girl, the
drowning surges of the sea: for Mr.
lturus, the buffeting of the Montreal
populace; for John lhown of Kdin-
burgh, the pistol-shot of Lord Claver-
house; for Hugh McKail, the scaffold:
for Latimer, the stake; for Christ, the
cross. For whom the rocks, the gib-
bets, the guillotines, the thumb-
screws? I or the sons and daughters
of the Lord < od Almighty. Some one

From a wrestle with habit I have

Again its infernal power, and lifted u

rich upholstery of his family parlor.
After awhile 1 saw him fall into tht

New York Press. Mr J. A. Corcoran
of Jersey City has just completed n
novel experiment in thc application of a
windmill to un electric lighting plant
Thc plunt, though un experimental
one, is now in operation without as
et a single mishap, and tho storage
ells furnish current for twenty
four incandescent lamps in Mr Corco
sidence. Everything points to
thc complete success of the scheme.
The mill has n diameter of eighteen
feet, and at a sneed of twenty miles
an hour is capable of delivering three-
horse-power. The dynamo driven by
belt from the main geur charges a set
of storage batteries. It is so designed
that throughout the wide variations of
speed of the windmill it maintains thc
potential constant. Mr Corcoran
says that the application of a windmill
electric
lighting plant will place electricity in
thejiomesof thousands, who can thus
cure their motive power from nature

friends, it is not hardship, or trial,

abundant supply. It is not thc vulture

life; it is the <|uuils! it is the (juuil:

bone sprang from its socket, ami the

We must carry through this world the
mark of the combat. What plowed
thoso premature wrinkles in your
face? What whitened your hair be-
fore it was time for frost'.' What
kilenced forever so much of the hilarity
Df your household? Ah! it is because

Do not be out of patience with those
who come not out of their despondency.
They may triumph over their loss, aud
yet their gait shall tell you that they
have been trouble-touched. Are we
Stoics that we can. unmoved, sec our
cradle rilled of the bright eyes and the
and sec our gardens of earthly delight
uprooted? Will Jesus, who wept him-
self, be angry with us if we pour our
tears into tho graves that open to
swallow down what we lova
best? Was Lazarus more dear
to hitn than our beloved
dead to us? Vo. We have a right to
weep. Our tears must come. You
shall not drive tlioin back to scald the
heart They fall into Cod's bottle. Af-
flicted ones have died because they
could not weep. Thank Cod for the
sweet, the mysterious relief that comes
to us in tears! Under this gentle raiu
the flowers of corn put forth their
bloom. Ood pity that dry, withered,
parched, all-cousuming grief thut
wrings its hands, and grinds its teeth,
and liites its nails unto the i|iiick, but
can not weep! We may have found
the comfort of the cross, and yet ever
after show that in the dark night, and
by the brook Jabbok, we were trouble
touched.
Again: we may take the idea of the
text, and announce the approach of
the day-dawn No one was ever more
glad to see tho mor.iing than was
Jacob after that night of struggle It
is appropriate for philanthropists and
Christians to cry out with this angel of
the text. "The day breaketh." The
world's prospects are brightening.
The church of Christ is rising up in its
strength to g' forth, "fair as-the
moon, clear us the sun, and terrible as
an army with banners." Clap you.-
hands, all ye people, the day breaketh.
Thc bigotries of the earth are perish-
ing. The time was when we were
told that if we wanted to get to heaven, i
we must be immersed or sprinkled; or i
we must believe in the perseverance of I
the saints, or in falling away frotuj
grace, or a liturgy, or no liturgy; or i
they must be Calvinists. or Armenians,

amis of windmills one sees in travel
ng over tiie country, if Mr. Corcoran's
scheme proves a permanent success
be utilized for lighting the resi-
dences of the owners und those of
their neighbors, as well as drawing
water for stock. One windmill will
light half a dozen residences at the
same time.
The machine in Mr. Corcoran's wind-
mill occupies a floor space of onl
thirty inches square aud tifte
high. The dynamo has n
current capueity of thirty-tive amperes
at thirty-five volts and is put into
action when the speed is •iO(i revolu-
tions per minute, that is, when an
eight-mile breeze is blowing
A great thing that deterred experi-
ments with windmills was the wind
itself, but it is believed that success
can be had with the average rate of
miles per hour that can be depend-
ed on throughout the I nited States.
While the maximum and the minimum
rate, of course, vary during different
seasons at the sea-coast and in differ-
ent localities, the average rate of ; 4
miles can be obtained at almost any
point in the country. Near thc sea-
coast aud in elevated localities the |;,
average rate is much higher, and it is f,,|
in such situations that the first at- land
tempts will be made throughout the j eett'
country to apply the plan of general- |
ing electricity with the aid of wind.
So it will be readily seen thut the util
ization of the waste forces of nature
is steadily pushing itself to the front ! Magazine k'dilor I guess I inu.v
