The Boaton Herald saya: The late«> agitation in English sooiety throogb¬ ont Her Majestv's empire haa been eaoiad by the sad truth that dancing is going pnt of faahion. It may be said that the terpiachorean att is dying a natural death, and io its last throes now calls npon tbe world to know the reaaon of ite decay.
Here ia a great truth poetically ex- prataad in Profitable Advertising: Tbe wheels ol true lore never ran
Alonx a toagbet course Than doea the business ol the mnn
Who would sucoeed perforce, And aevor to his aid doea oall
That moat aucceesful plan 01 advertldnH aprlag and tall
And ever when bo oan.
Bpain, once a proud conqueror, bas suffered, nnd yet anffdrs discomfiture. Once the richest conntry in the world, sbe is now impoverisheil. Once the ruler of Amerioa from Florida to the fnrtheat sonth, she fights for the only remnant left to ber, an outlying isl- land. Bhe sowa the wind and reaps the whirlwind. Sbe went np like a rocket and  come down like tbe stiok.
Says Harpei's Weekly: Pursnant to a resolution of the last Congress, the Philadelphia mint is to begin to make experiments witb new metals and combinations o' motaU to deter¬ mine whether any improvement can be made in our present copper and nickel coinage. It may give ns aiu minum oents in place ol tbe copper pieoea now in use, snd possibly a new speoiea of five-cent pieces, made en¬ tirely of nickel, or perhaps half of nickel and hall of copper. There is so alight a atiggestion of copper in the present five-cent piece that it is a sue- prise to read Ihat scventy-Hvo per oant. of it is copper and only twenty- five per cent, nickel. Tbe present ecnt contains ninety-five per oent. of copper, two per cent, of tin, and three per oent. of ttioo. Tbe olijection is -is made to it that it is bard to distin¬ guish by leelip{! between a ceut and a lilver ten -cent piece.

There are many new things in the bicycle line oflered for 1897. Every ap-to-3ato manufacturer will intro¬ duce new attachments snd alleged im¬ provements iu the detailH of bis ma- obine. while tbe freak inventor bas baen more than busy with his strange and wondrous devices. In toe great maaa of inventions there arc some fuw things of real value. The coDalriiotion of bioyeles to or.ler ir vet in its in¬ fancy, bat It ia n growing industry, and thousands ol devices wbicb will never become general will be utilized by individuals. Tbe most radical de¬ parture in 1S!)7 will lie an increase in the dimensions uf )incumatio tires. Tbe average tires are now frum one and a half to one and tbree-quarleri inobea wide. Tirea in IS'.IT will reacb B width of two and a hall inches. Wheels thus e{ui|i)»'.l will look awk¬ ward at first, but the nafety itself wal ungainly in its liay, when cuntraateil with tbe bigh wheel. Tbe wide tire is safer than those now lu osc. It re duces the likelihood uf .-i.le slips on damp roada, which le really Ibe causr ol fonr ont of flve cycliog accidents.

A bombshell bos been thrown into European polities in Ibc furm of a atatement io I'rince bismarck's of fleial paper, tbe Hambnrser Nacbrich- ten, to the eflfect tbat within a ycit after tho organiication i^ tbe Triiilc Alliance ho arranged a secret treaty witb Ruaaia by which iiermanv was to hold aloof if KuBsia was attacked hy Auatria, and ISussin waa lo bold aloof if Oermany waa attacked by France. Tha abrogation of thr treaty «ascoin¬ cident with Prince Biimarol'a sudden retirement from oSice. and Count Capiivi, wbo succeeded bim. related to indorse it. Alexander III, i^ll:"- nant over this, imme liately turned te Fraaoa, and tbe rcfnit was tbe present Franeo-Unsiian alliance. These geu¬ eral facta are not new, at leaat tu the diplomatic liu.lie... bnt tbe publmhing of Ibem just no* haa created a greal deal of atir.

A   ,. the hilla tbnt tow-

X >y.   valley in   a  peclu-
(led part of Scot¬ land, where a con- gregntion of Cov¬ enanters were os- eembte.l to hoar tbo Kev. Dongai Mackenzie preach to thera. Driven from tbcir habita¬ tion by persecntiou, tbey sought the Folitndu of Ibe billa and vales that they migbt conduct their vomhip accord¬ ing to tbeir accustomed nsage. But they were not always free from moles- tatiuD, even wheu fleoiDKlo tbo wilds. Profane and cruel bands of troopers tracked them Irom fastness tu fastness, and it was ouly by the most strict ami untiring vigilance that they oould havo any security to worship in peace.
The llev. Dotigal Mackenzie was standing iu tbo miiUt of tbo people, with one band upon the ancred .Scrip¬ tures aud tbo oilier raised to Heaven. He had jnit conoluded bis discourse, baviug tukeu na his text the words: "For Joi-hua drew not his hand back, tt'herewitb he stretched out tbo siienr, ui^til ho bad utterly destroyed all the inhabitants uf Ai."
Looking over bis congregation as if bo were speaking to each in person, h&nddeJ: ".\nd such, oli, Honvenly Father, wo pray Tbee, may bo tbe slaughter of the enemies of Thy ser¬ vants."
A deep and fervid "Amen" was the rospoDfio thnt cnmo from tho lips ol bis bearers.
Tbougb Duugnl Mackenzie had beeu a pn.<itor for more than thirty yearii, he looked more like it soldier than ono whose duly it was tu prcolnim thoCiov pel of Peace, Tnll, erect, and straight as an nrruw, ovei brijjlit and gray, bead alinoirt white, and frame com pact aud woll knit, ho wns a person tbat wuold uttrnct nttenliuu from tbo must casual observi-r uf men. Ilia life hn.l luen one uf vicinsitiido and hard¬ ship; liut thruugb all bin troubles, he alwnvH boro a bravo henrt, luukirg forwnrd tu the day when ho might, perchance, penl his ilevotion tu bih laith (as hia father bad dune) by ily ing ill dufenno uf his religion eud bi:i rifhii.

.Abont a half mile from where th. cougregatiun were assembled tlier.' stuud a few shepher.Is' cots, and to thoae Ibe peuple boktily retreatc.l, f,ir every man hud brouubt arms with bim; but tbey bad lelt their wenponi in the bnta, uu.ler care uf trusty fol¬ lowers.
.As a place i^ defense thia retreat euuld utTer but little security, lur the gruuu.l was su level that it presented on excellent tiel.l for invading burse- lueu. Kilt tbe* ba.i nu Qther alterua live, and hurryin,; I-j the reudrzvuus, every man armed bimself to await cveuts.
.K, l),.ucal Mackenzie entere.l tlie but where l.in.lsay an.l .Mnr^^aret ha t preceded bim, be ea iel uut :
"Keach me duau my •.wur.l, g.Hi.l Jaughttr.

May my haul |iruve no ills grace tu tbe li.tt that was uuce clasped by une so lirm."
Cuminij out ul tbe hnt he waved hia ban.l tu Ike pe..pl.< and one I, "Let u- pray tu the Alimclit.v lii«i9.-er uf events, that Ue may ti^ibt in cur cause."
The people revtreDlly kreit abiie tbeir |.a»tur invuki'd aid Irom ..L Uigti.

lu the short i>f ri.'.l ailutte 1 them Ixforo the sp) earance ol the loe, they maJe sneh .tupo-ittuii fur defense as they were beat al.'.f. Several of the larger huts were torn .lown. aa.l with Ibc debria tbey farmed a barrisade iu 'root uf tbe hut wbere Uconis Mao- kamit* kad placed Iba woai^ea.    Kifbt
wns almost at bnnd when Ibe work Mas hastily cum])lelcd, and r.ut a momt ut loo soon were they, for in the distance tbe trooperi wero seen cuming, bended by the wild ami gotlless Kuushaw. i
".-^tanil to your arms, brethren," cried tbo pastor, who scened, by cum '¦ mun consent, tu take tbo direction ut anairs. ".Stnml to rour arms, nn.1 fear nut what tho unrigbtcuus can do. ' Yield nut nne fuot uf prounil to tbe nnhalluvred invaders. Tho Lord uf Hosts is with US. He liihtelh on tho side of Hil servauls. While one wnriu drop of blood remains iu yuur hearts, resist. Think of your wives and chil¬ dren, tbink nt your rc-ligioa and your Inme."
Uongn! Mackenzie wns standing in the midst uf bij peujile, praspiu? bis Bffurd. while ho gaze.l into tho dis¬ tanco wilh nn eager nn.l defiant louk. Hc appenrod pt^sitively heroic os he awaited the attack. -A deep consoi- oUHoess that be was doiug bis duty in exhorting his Hock to res'stanco caused everything liko tropidation tu leave his heart. He stoud as firm as tho bills, and when his peoplo broke unt witb a p^alm. a smile of juy illum¬ inated his rugged face.
On come the troopers, and they counted nearly double tho number uf tbe Covenanters, while their discipline gavo them a great a Ivoutogo ovor their foes.
Konshaw rodo at tho bead, woviug his hnt iu bis usunl reckless style, while hiBVoice rang high os be cheered on his followers.
"There is liltlo mercy in such a loader." exclaimed Elder McLaue.
"Wbo talks of mercy wheu men¬ tioning tho name of Bunshow?" re¬ sponded Robert Lindsay. "Did yon¬ der wretih show mercy to my gollant father, ai ho lay wounded and help¬ less ou the'earth?" .\ud ho gronnd his teeth bitterly os he recalled that dreadful night, when his bomo wai laid in ashea, and his fatbor cold and etilT in death.
Suddenly the troops dismounted ond prepared for tho osault.
"Charge the smootb-focod hypo¬ crites; down with tho villains!" sboutod Bonthaw.
"Oive tho sons ol Belial to tho edge ot the sword," cried tb-J Covenantor.i. "Kill nnd ipare not,"
Tho next instant o volley from tbo thc lirearms rang ont qa.Jire~night air, and the troopers charged tho yor- ricode. 1
Unaccustomed to military drill atni-, discipliue, the Covenanters were no match for Honshaw's troupers, and yet they were not advcrsorios lo be lightly despised. Thoy wero earnest men, sternly iolent in doing thnt which was to them o righteous oud praisoworlhy oet.
A terrible volley was poured into tbo facea of tho troopers ns tnev dashed on the barrioade. For on in¬ stant thoy wavered, nud then, with lond cheers, they leaped upon tho breastwork ond wero engaged in a band-to band combat. Foremost nmong tbose wbo fo-igbt witb despera¬ tion was Dougol Mackenzie. Uo ap¬ peared aa if renewed in strength, and battled with so mucb oonrnge for tho ol.l cnUiO that fow who met him conld resist the nerve and fury of hin orm. His right bona did not disgrace bis Inther'a swor.l that night. Neither was bia young companion, Kobert Lindsay, behind bim in valoruiis ex- pluitH. Twioo did Lindsay cross swords nitb Uonshaw, aud as often were they borne away from ench other by tho tide of contoution. Both wero wounded, and as conspicuous as tboy were lu their bravtry, thoy eyed each nther with a stern hate, liut numbers and d sciiiline tuld nu the side of thn troopers. Tho Covenanters bad lost fully half of their number, ond weru nt leugth compellod to yield.
Amung those wbo gave np thoir lives wnsUungil Mnokeuzie; bo hud buen slolibed tu tho heart, nnd fell ben.l fnremost to the fue, grasping tbe sword whieh had beeu his heirloom. Near by bim was Kubert Lindsnv, l.leciliug from a wouud in the neck and stnnuod by a blow from a mus- kctuoii.
Tho moon hail riien full nnd bright npou tho scene, ond mode tbe spot al¬ most as bright ns day. Tho (.uven- anters who wero prisoners uUorod never o wurd, nnd bad nOt sued fur mercy. But tbo wails uf the wumon were sorrowful to heor. Bonshow wns the llrst to approach the hnt, nud was ji:ct bv Margaret Mackonziu nl the threshold.
"Hack, thon man of blood syd ter¬ ror 1" sbe oiclairaed, on ahe stood foc¬ iug hiiu with glittoriug evoa au.i pale cheeks.
"Oh! ho!" cried the lea.lor, "nho is it that commumis hero uow? Oive me a kiss, my pretty lass, aul leavo tJireateninga to bolder hearts aoil stuuler orms," au<l no mado on elTurt lu catch her l.y tbe arm, wbou Klder MeLane thrust himself betweeu Bju- ahaw and tho girl.
".Stay thy baud," he excloimed. "nnd add uu fnrtber crimes tu thy lung list."
"Thnt fur thee, bound," cried Bon- sbnw, ns be struck the elder wilh the butt ul his pistul and felled him to the earth.
Sud and most despniriog was the liau.l that wns niarche-l away uuar.le.l I y tbo rude soldiers, an.l tbe f.51io',¥ini,' day saw tbom all within prisun walls, that is, all save Ibo wumen. Th-se were alluwed to gu free, but tbe fute of thu men was yet tu be a matter fur a military tnluinal.
It was a w.ek later, •hen, one >turmy night, Hubert Linlsay mal.. his escape from the guards and tl.'1 to llis home, where ho fuuud Mai>;nret .Mackenzie au.l many mure of tho.su whu ha.l been bereft uf tbeir kinsmen on the fatal ui|;ht whru tho pnstur iia-1 fuught at thc heod uf hia littlo Ilock.

tbinp that -ve nil now know. Almost all tUo nets aud speeches of the Covenanters were well cunsi.lered, and responsibility was nlnoys kept strung iu view. So, when Mnrgnret Macken¬ zie gav.' Kobert Lindsay her hnnd and said, "If it b.i thy desire, 1 will do 6U," she would hnve utlercJ the same w rds, ami mado thera ;?ood, too. ba-l Lindsay been .leiitined fur o gibbet <he ne.;l hour.
