But the boy's countenance suddenly changed. He walked apto the ^general, who bad turned away, and placed himself directly before him, with a look of calm resolution worthy of a martyr. ¡ ■•Hear me. señor," said lie ; "my father is grey- I haired: he is wounded; his strength is falling I even now, though he standi up to receive the Gre of your men. t am young, and strong, and well. Let them ¿sot QM iu Ms place, and let my father o free. H was impossible to doubt the sincerity of this oflfer, fox the face ot the devoted child was kindled with a holy enthusiasm. A dark flush rushed to the brow Of .Morillo, aiulfor a moment he looked un the buy in silence. '-Thou art willing to die,'-' he at length said, "for thy father? Thenlosuíler pain for him will be nothing. Wilt thoo lose one of the ears to save him V "J will;" wastbe firm reply. "Lead me :hy sword, I'a bio ;" and in an instant, at one blow, the general struck off the boy's ear. Tbe victim wept, ont resisted not, nor rawed his band to wipe away the blood. '■8.0 far so good. Wilt thou lose the other ear?" **I will, to save my father?" auswered the boy, convulsively, ' Moi'Ubi's eyes Sashed. The heroism of a child compelled his admiration ; but unmoved from his cruel purpose, he smote Off the other car with his sword. There was a dead silence. "And now. señor," said thi boy, breathing quickly, and looking up into lite general's face. " -And now," answered Morillo, "depart—the father of such a child is dangerous to Spain, lie must pay Llie forfeit of his life." The maimed child went from the'presence of his inhuman foe. Presently the report of firearms announced that he liad witnessed thc execution of his father. Must we Unme Ihecrueiiy of individuals for such enemies?—or not rather the relentless spirit ol' war, that builds up the glory of its heroes on a scaffolding of death, and sacrifices daily to thc projects oi'ambition the prompting of humanity. litflitl Spttofotoais. _!|^|v;m^|^fe^ Administrator's Sale oí Ileal Eslatc.

This place was ten miles from Seville waa only garrisoned by a Spanish Swiss Battalion in Joseph's service, aided by escopetero*, aud hy 5¡ck ami convalescent men.

False information adroitly given hy a Spaniard in thc French interest, led BaTlasferous to believe Soult was close at hand, whereupon he Immediately returned to the Honda : while Penile Vülemur, al-o wanted that the French would soon return, retired to Gibralcon. This disappointment and failure in the execution Bf a favorite project, cherished for many months, " irritated beyond control the naturally severe tcm- '• per -f MorrHo. ft.was evening, and the division ofthe army under him were encamped same hours march on tlieir retreat. Preparations might have been soen Ibr a military execution, and a couple of prisoners captured in the last skirmish were, according to the cruel practice of many chiefs in tb.isc times, to be put to death. The captives were guarded by a tile of soldiers, and thc executioners, . waiting for the wordof command to draw up,■wen:' '~ leaning on their ive.ipons aud talking of the events of the last two days. Just then.-one of tho inferior officers returning to.his tL'.it. after giving eotnc order to his meu, was interrupted In a boy apparently ten years of age. who seizin; hts han-1, and ppiaking in an accent- slightlyToreign. brought him by piteous entreaties to procure him admittance tothe general. The officer found oa Inquiry that he was the sou of one of thc prisoners, a soldier distinguished for his own personal bravery, who had not been taken, «ron when overwhelm >d by numbers, without giving and receiving many woumK This soldier, wearied and wounded, biiflnvtnci- ble in courage ami spirit, for ho scorned to a=k cleiu'iioy of liis conqueror, was now to sutler death With his companion in misfortune. The terrible ordT had been given, for Morillo would not be impeled in his march by prisoners ; and he so hated his country's enemies, that the bravest and most generous anion? them could have found no mercy hi his hands. The prisoner's little boy, refusing to bo separated from his father, had been suffered by th» Spaniards to remain with him. "You shall see the general, boy, since you wish |t," said thc olh^r, in reply to thc child's" passinn- •to entreaties ; but he will not grant your fatder's life, San Lucas! but these French dogs have given us much trouble already." They catered tbe general's tent. Morillo, by thc light of a lamp burning on the table, was reading a despatch he had jmd received. Two of his officer? stood near him ; there was no one else in the tent. ths brow of th*' chief wan contracted, and his eyes flashed as if what he read displeased him, aud lie looked up with an impatient exclamation as thc ofH^er entered with thc boy. Thc child, as soon as Morillo was pointed out to him, rushed forward md knelt at liis feet. "What does this moan!" demanded the general. "Spare him '. apare my father!" sobbc;d the yoatih- ful suppliant The officer explained his relationship to" one of the prison-Ts about to be executed. '_'Ah, that renriids me,'-'said the chief looking ai his watch ; '*Pero,'nine Is thc hour. Let them be punctual, nnd have tiie business booh,over." Again, with moving entreaties, the child be- , Bought his lather's life. "Did thy father send thee hither;'.' asked the general sternly. "No, Bcnor, he did not." "And how darest thou, then——" "My father has done nothing to deserve death '" ' answered the lad. "He is a prisoner of war." "Ha! who taught thee to question my justice?-- Answer me?" "No one. BeSor ; but brave generals do Hot always kill their prisoners." "I kill whom I choose!-' thundered Morillo ; ''and I hate the French. Bov. thv father shall die I hare *aid it—begone^-" ^«sSft^tmadiasilestslgntG tha petitioner, A Singular Cuuiilc. Along with my brother, who was collecting matter for n work be was'aboat to publish, I visited the Interfering town of iiexahm,—int.Testing at least to hint, fbr it was a tiuc held fur historical research, although for myownpart I foundllttlc to admire bei-ides ¡Is ancient church. The circuit!. stance Which, more than anything else, obtained the dingy town a lasting plae e in my memory, was onr taking a lodging with an e¿xtraordinni*y pair, an old man and woman, husband and wife, who lived by themselves, without child or servant, subsisting on the letting of th«ir parlor and two Ijj'dro.mis. They were tall, thinand erect, though each seventy years of age. When we knocked at thc door for admittance, they answered it together; if wc rang thc bell, the husband and wife invariably'appeared hide by side ; till our requests and demande were received by both, and executed with the utmost nicety and exactness. The first night, arriving late by cnach from New castle, and merely regaining a good lire and ou; tea, we were piizzk-d to Understand the reason oí tbis double attendance ; and I remember my brother in'.htr irrev. rently wo;ider.iig whether we*'w«,'( always to be waited upon by these Siamese twins.r On ringing the bell to retire for the night, both appeared as usual, thc wife carrying the bedroom Candlestick, thc husband standing at the door. J gave her directions about breakfast for the follow ing morning, when the husband from the door quickly answered for her. "Depend upon it, she is dumb." whispered my brother. But this was not th-: ease, though she rarely made use ofthe faculty of ípeecli. They both attended mo into my bedroom ; when the old lady, seeing me look'with some surprise towards her husband, said: "There's no offence m»ant, ma'am, by iny husband coming with me into the chamber—ho:s stone blind." "Poor maul"! exclaimed. "But why, then, does he not ait still ? Why does he accompany you everywhere ?" ' "It's no use, m.Aim, your speaking to my old woman," said the husband—" t-he can't hear you shesqnite deaf'.'' 1 was astonished. Here was compensation !■ Could a pair be better matched? Wan and wife were indeed one flesh ; for he saw with her eyes and she he.-.rd with his ears ? It -was beautiful to mc al'icrwards io wacth the old man and woman in their ins^parableness. Their sympathy with each other was as swift ae electricity, and made their deprivations as naught. I have often though! of that old man and woman, aad cannot but hope, that as in lite they were inseparable and indispensable to each other, so in death they might not be divided, but, cither be spared the terrible calamity of being alone in thc tt oi'Id.

In 172."». liishop Berkeley publUbed his propo- ftda in explanation of his fong-cherinhed purpose ; :it the aame time he oTered to' resiffri his livings, and to consecrate the remainder or his days to this Christian undertaking. So magnetic wen- his appeal and example, thai tiiree of hisbrother-feliows at Oxford decided to unite with him in the expedition. Many eniiiii'iil und wealthy persons ivei'e induced to contribute their Infiaence and money to tlie cause. But he did not trust wholly to sueii means. Having aaccrtalnod the worth of a portion of tlie St. Christopher's lands ceded hy France to Great Britain by the trtbity of Utrecht, and about to be disposed of lor public advantage, he onder- took to realize from them larger proceeds than had been anticipated, and suggested that a certain amount of these fund» should he devoted to his college. Availing himself ofthe friendly Intervention of a Venetian gentleman whom fie had known in Italy, he Submitted the pli-njio George I-, who directed Sir liobert Walpole to carry it through parliament. He obtained a charter for " erecting a college by name of St. Pauls, in Bermuda, with a ¡¡resident aud nine fellows, to maintain and educate Indian scholars at the rate of ten pounds a year, George Berkeley to be the tirst pre- sident.and his companions from Trinity College the fellows." His commission was voted -May 11, 1726. To the promised amount of twenty thousand pounds'to be derived from the land sale, many sums were added from individual donation. The letters of Berkeley to his iriends at this period, are filled with thc discussion of this scheme: it absorbed his time, taxed ingenuity, wanned hisheart, and drew forth thc warm sympathy anc earnest cooperation of his many admirers, though regret at the prospect of leaving his society, constantly linds expression. Swift, in a tone to thc lord lieutenant of Ireland, says : "I do humbly entreat your excellency either to use such peisuasions ns wili keep one of the first men of the kingdom for learning and genius at home, or assist him by your credit to compass his romantic design." "Í have obtained reports,-" says one of his own letters, " from tlie Bishop of London, thc board ot trade and plantations, and the attorney and Bollcftoi*» general;" ''yesterday the charter passed thc privy seal;" " the lord chancellor is not a busier man than myself;" and elsewhere—'-Ihave had more opposition from the governors and traders to America, than from any one else, but God be praised, there is an end of all their narrow and mercantile views and endeavors, as well as of thc jealousies and suspicions of others, (some of whom were very- great men.) who apprehended this college may produce an independency in America, or, at least, lessen her dependency on England." Freneau's ballad ot tho "Indian Boy," who ran back to the woods from thc halls of learning, was written subsequently, or it might havediscouraged Berkeley in his idea of the capacity of the American savages for education ; but more positive obstacles thwarted hisgenerousnims. The king died before affixing his seal to che charter, whieh delayed tlie whole proceedings. Walpole, efficient as he was ai a financier and a servant of the house of Brunswick, was a thorough utilitarian, and too practical and worldlywise to share in the dis- interest.d enthusiasm of Berkeley. In his answer to Bishop Gibson whose diocese included lite West indies, wheu ho applied for the liuuls so long withheld, he says: i'h' you put the question to me as a minister, I must assure you that the money shall most undoubtedly be paid as soon ás suits with public convenience ; but if \Tou ask me as a friend, whether Dean Berkeley should continue iu America expecting the payment of twenty thousand pounds, I advise him by all means .to return to Europe." To the project tints rendered unattainable, Berkeley had devoted seven years of his lite and the greater part of his fortune. Thc amount realized by the sale of confiscated land?, was about ninety thousand pounds, of which eighty thousand were devoted tothe marriage portion ofthe Princess Royal, about to espouse the Prince of Orange; and the remainder, by the influence of Ogle- thorp, was secured to pay the transportation of emigrants to his Georgia colony. Berkeley's scheme was more deliberate and well-considered than is commonly believed. Horace Walpole calls it uncertain and amusing :" but a writer of deeper sympathies declares it '■ too graud and pure for the powers that were." His nature craved the united opportunities of usefulness aud of self-culture ; he feit the obiigafon to devote himself to benevolent enterprise; and at the same time earnestly desired both the leisure and the retirement needful tor the pursuit of abstract studies.— The project he contemplated, promised to realize all these objects. The infinite wants, intellectual and religious, of the new continent, he possessed a heart to feel, and the grand destinies awaiting its growth thc imagination to conceive. Those who fancy that his views were limited to the ylan of a doubtful missionary experiment, do great injustice to thc broad and elevated hopes he cherished, he knew that a recognized seat of learning open to the poor and uncivilized, and the varied moral exigencies of a new country, would insure ample scope for the exercise of all his erudition and his talents ; he felt that his mind would be a kingdom ¡wherever his lot was "east: and he was inspired by a noble interest in tiie progress of America, and a faith in the new field then open for the advancement of truth, as is evident from the celebrated verses in which these feelings found expression: The ijuse disgusted at nn ago and clime Barren of every glorious theme, In distant lands now waita better time, Producing subjects worthy of fame. In happy cliir.es. when from the genial sun And verdant earth such scenes ensue, Thc forco of art by nature seems outdone, And fancied beauties by the true ; In happy climesj the scat of innocence, Where nature gilides and virtue rules, Where men shall not impose for truth and sense Thc pedantry of schools; Then shall we again see thc golden itge> Tho i'isc of empire and of arts, The good and great inspiring epic rage, The wisest heads and noblest hearts ; Not such as Europe breeds in her decay ; Such as she bred when fresh and young. When heavenly flame did animate her clay, By future poets shall be sung. Westward thc course of empire takes its way ; The four first acts already past, A fifth shall eii(i|lhc drama with the day; Time's noblest oil'spring is the last. In August, 1T28, Berkeley married a daughter of the Honorable John Foster, Speaker of ihe Irish House of Commons, and, soon alter, embarked for America. His'companions were, his wife and her friend, Miss Hancock ; two gentlemen of fortune. James and Dalton; and Smibert, the painter, in a picture by the latter, now in the Trumbull galle^ at New Haven, are preservad the portraits ol this group, as ihey appeared in the cttbin ;lui:iug Ihe voyage ; it was sketched at sea, and afterwards painted for a gentleman ol Boston, of whom1, it was purchased, in 1808, by Isaac Lathrop, Lsq,, and presented to Vila Odhge. This visit ;v" gíáíbtíí associates Berkeley's name wi'nh the dstw^ of aat in America. They had travel-lied; i ogethe? iiv Sbaiy, and: thc dean induced htm to ¿«in Üe expedition pari'V fvr;ii fn'n: l-"-h'p caá also to ,,*.ln.;(, hiss..:*- vices'as iusiv.iotn- in era ping and arehitecturein the propound college.

He went to London, and, from painting roaches, ¿TOM te f>|'v tag old pictures Ibr the dealer. Bfl then fftva three years to Ihe stttdj of hlfl art Iu Italy. " Smibert/'Boya Horace Walpole, "wasasilent ami modest man, who abhorred the finesse afeóme of It Is profession, and was enchanted ffttbei plan that he thought promised tranqalUty and m bonasí subsistence ¡n a healthy and Eüysiao climate, and, in spite of remonstrances, engaged with the dean, whose zeal hud ringed the (¿vot of ftoconfl on bisélele. The kn g'sdeath dispelled the vision. One may con,'ei\..' how fl mm so derated tohlsarl must have been animated when [he dean's enthusiasm and eloquence painted to his imagination a new theatre of prospects, rich, warm and (flowing willi scenery which no pencil had yet made common," Smibert woe the flrsi educated artisl who ■■rtritod om* shores, and the picture referred to, the Br*>t of more than a single ligiire executed in l he country. To biapenofl tiew ¿Safpsod Is Indebted Cot portraits 8l many ofhi i eai li tab mi .. nnd '■ rgj ;Vmunn others, he pointed ibr a Scotch gentlemen the onlj authentic likeness of Jonathan Edwards. He married a lady hf fortune in I'.osloa.and left her a wid.ov with two children, ii. 17,">1. A high eulogiuni, his abilities and character, appeared iu tlie London Courakt. From two letters addressed to him by Berkeley, when residing at Cloyne, published ill the Oentttmans Magazine, it would appear thai his friendship for -the artist continued aiij'i' their separation, as the bishop urges the pointer to re- ci'oss ihe sea and establish himself in his neighborhood. ; A considerable sum '^ money, aod ft largo and choice collection of books, designed as a foundation Ibr the library of iSt. Paul's College, weife the most important items ofthe dean's outfit. In these days of rapid transit across the Alhuitie, It is not easy to realize the discomforts aud perils of such a voyage. Brave and philanthropic, indeed, musí have been the heart of an Boglish Chcroh dignitary, to whom the road of preferment was open, who was a favorite companion of the genial Steele, the classic Addison, and thi brilliant Pope, who basked in thc smile of royalty, was beloved of the Cfcntrch, beloved hy the poor, the idol of society, ami the peer of scholars—yet couTil shake olf the niliin.'-- ments of such a position, to endure a tedious voyage, a long e.xile, and the deprívatioMs atteudatU on a crude state of society and a new civilization, in order to achieve an object which, however excellent and generou:: in itself was of doubtful issue and beset with obstacles. Confiding in tiie pledges of those in authority, that the parliamentary gronl would be paid when the lands had been selected. and lull of the most sanguine anticipations, the noble pioneer of religion nnd letters approached tlie shores of the Xew World. Vfertmu rtcu ¿ktfc IliAiii-nuor Compnitlc*. In these companies, says the Merchants' Magazine, a wife cau insure tiie Bib of her husband, and receive tiie amount of the policy if she survives his death, free from the claims of the representatives of her husband or any of his creditors. A creditor may insure the life of his debtor; a young man may procure capital by getting an insurance on his life, and assigning the policy as collateral security for a loan. Dividends are added to tbe principal, or go to the reduction of annual premiums, at the option of the insured party. A congregation ean insure the lives of their pastors, and thereby provide for their surviving families. Parties who do not feel that their circumstances will warrant tlieir engaging to pay a .specified annual sum during life, may take ¡in accumulative policy, by paying from time to time any small sum, which insures a certain amount to their families at death. In case of sickness or casualty, the party can draw any part of the money paid in, by which ho will only reduce the amount insured, and therefore asavailablcto iho poor man and more advantageous than a savings bank. "We quote the following from McCulloch's Commercial Dictionary in favor of life insurance : The relief from anxiety afforded by life insurance very frequently contributes to prolong the life of the insured, at the same time that it materially augments thc comfort and well being of those dependent upon him. It has also an obvious tendency to strengthen habits of accumulation. Hav- _ thus been led to contract ¡vi*riTbit ofsaving to _ certain extent, it is most probable that the habit will acquire additional strength, and that he will insure an addtional sum, or privately accumulate.

Exterior Waterproofing
Working on the exterior of your foundation wall may be the solution to some water intrusion problems. This requires excavating around the foundation wall all the way to the foundation footer, which can be as deep as 11 feet on some homes. As you can image, this is very intrusive work and may mean the need to remove hardscape items such as patios and decks, or temporarily move flower beds to access the problem area. I can hear you worrying already, but rest assured, with our "you will never know we were there" approach, our team will document your landscape before taking great care to remove or relocate items temporarily. Once your waterproofing project is complete, everything will be returned to its original condition, the work area cleaned and left exactly as we found it.

walk in the word
james macdonald
1So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,2complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. —Philippians 2:1-3
This comes as a surprise to a lot of people: being humble is not something that you are; it's something you do! So, you don't expect someday to say, "Wow, it's finally happened, I am so humble right now. I wish my friends could see me." Because as soon as you're thinking that, humility is not happening. Humble is not something you are, it is something you do.
The Bible says is, "Humble yourself" (See James 4:10) or ". . . with all humility . . ." (Ephesians 4:2) In Luke 18:14b, Jesus said, "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted." Everyone will eventually discover humility, but only those who have humbled themselves will pass on to exaltation.
Now humbling yourself does not mean demean yourself or put yourself down. Humility is not like,"Wow, do I ever stink." Often that's false humility, a focus on self. Humility is not making the least of yourself; humility is making the most of others. Humility is very much an others-focused-thing.
That's why it says in Philippians 2:3, "Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." I'll tell you, we will get a long way down the road of humility with that single focus, esteeming others as more important than ourselves.
This will help with humbling yourself: embrace slights and misunderstandings, when you've been overlooked—just embrace it and say, Well, that's the way it should be and the only reason that's bothering me is because I think I'm more important than I am. And if I would just realize that I'm not as important as I thought I was, it wouldn't be so hard for me to handle this. That's called humbling yourself. Your flesh is rising up and you're pushing it down and humbling yourself. When you feel that the people in your family don't appreciate you, you say, Well, but I'm a servant and I'm here to serve and I don't need to be recognized or appreciated. It'd be nice if that would happen and I can pray about that but now, I'm gonna humble myself. Sound impossible? It is, without God's help. Ask Him to teach you, by His Spirit, the discipline of humility.
Prayer: Father, my flesh rises up in me. I feel it all the time. Help me, by Your strength and in Your love push it back down. Forgive me for thinking that I am more than I am. I need Your Spirit to help me think of others as better than myself. I know You love a contrite heart, and that's what I want to have. In Jesus' name, Amen.

We've seen the world crumble dozens of times in this, the summer of mass destruction movies. We've watched Kryptonians destroy major cities ("Man of Steel"), Brad Pitt battle his way through a zombie-pocalypse ("World War Z"), behemoths rise from beneath the sea ("Pacific Rim") and the Rapture ruin an otherwise killer party at James Franco's house ("This Is the End"). But we haven't seen the breakdown of social order depicted with as much wit — that's right, apocalypses can be fun! — as director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost bring to "The World's End."
This British trio first broke out stateside with 2004's "Shaun of the Dead," a cult favorite that invented a new cinematic category, the zombie rom-com. "The World's End" pulls off a similar cross-tonal trick by merging the overplayed Armageddon genre with the equally overplayed arrested-male-adolescent trope and creating the sci-fi, coming-of-middle-age, apocalyptica-comedy. "The World's End" understands that entering one's 40s often feels like the end of the world, so it asks, "Hey, what if after hitting 40, it turned out the world actually was ending?" It's a twisted, boozy, tongue-in-cheek window into the early-'90s-nostalgic soul of Generation X.
No Gen Xer is more nostalgic for the early '90s than 40-something Gary King (Pegg), the severely alcoholic misfit at the heart of "The World's End." Gary has not moved beyond the night that he and four of his closest school buddies attempted a pub crawl but failed to make it to their final destination, a bar called the World's End. More than two decades later and still wearing his uniform of a trench coat and Sisters of Mercy T-shirt, Gary persuades his now older, more mature friends (played by Frost, "Sherlock's" Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan) to return to Newton Haven, England, and complete the crawl. But in the middle of their malty, hoppy trip down memory lane, something alarming happens; they get attacked by unanticipated forces and quickly realize their home town is no longer what it once was.
To say much more about "The World's End's" version of Armageddon would drain the movie of its ability to giddily blindside its audience. Let's just say those unanticipated forces are robotic and kinda goopy when decapitated. Besides, this movie's pleasures are less about its villains and more about the interplay between Pegg and Frost.
After serving as the childish dimwit to Pegg's more responsible grown-ups in "Shaun of the Dead" and its follow-up, the buddy cop/action parody "Hot Fuzz," Frost finally gets to play the straight-lacer, and Pegg, the infantile, manic pint-chugger. It's clearly a blast for them to flip the script, especially for Pegg, who liberates himself physically and vocally. To catch every word in some of his rat-a-tat sentences, one may need to see "The World's End" three times. When an insane barroom brawl repeatedly thwarts Gary's attempts to sip a cold one, Pegg hurls himself into exasperation mode with an energy reminiscent of John Cleese during a Basil Fawlty fit.
Wright, who wrote the screenplay with Pegg, directs with the same wry zip he brought to the trio's previous collaborations, as well as 2010's "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." He keeps the pace quick and lets the jokes fly ("It's like seeing a lion eating hummus!" Gary gasps as he watches Frost's Andy sip water instead of beer).
"The World's End" marks the final installment in the loosely defined trilogy that included "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz." But let's hope Wright, Pegg and Frost concoct more wild doomsday scenarios together. Their work makes for a good time at the movies and, in the case of "The World's End," closes this year's apocalyptic summer movie season on a destructive yet pleasing note.

With just a week of practice under their belts, Mount St. Joseph Academy's golfers started in on their league schedule last Tuesday, playing on Gwynedd Mercy Academy's home course at North Hills Country Club in Glenside.
The visiting Magic were obviously ready for the fray, topping the Monarchs 208-263 as they began the quest for a tenth consecutive championship in the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies. The league championship tournament was officially established in 2003, and for a number of years before that the Mount had gone undefeated against AACA opponents.
The Magic graduated four members of last year's PIAA District 1 runner-up squad, and one current senior switched to another fall sport.
However, the ace player for Mount St. Joe in 2011 was only a freshman, and Isabella DiLisio was back to lead the team to victory in last week's league debut, firing a 36 on the par-35 front nine at North Hills.
Current junior Alison Snakard was close behind with a 38, and the Magic recorded a pair of 44's for senior Nicole Mischler and DiLisio's sophomore classman, Maggie Schoeller.
The top five scores from each team's eight official participants make up the team score, and the Mount's total on Tuesday was rounded out by a 46 from freshman Joanie Gannon. The three other designated players were senior Jane Black, with a 49, freshman Megan Bray, with a 51 (a figure which matched the two best rounds for Gwynedd), and junior Julia Shinkle, with a 54.
Black and Mischler are the Mount's co-captains for 2012, and the third senior on the squad is Margaret Mary Reilly.
The varsity roster also includes junior Emma Feeney and freshmen Mara Boston, Claire Brown, and Laura Park. Michael Dean, a pro at Cedarbrook Country Club in Blue Bell, is back for his second season as MSJ head coach.
A day after their AACA debut against Gwynedd, the Magic travelled out past Valley Forge for a non-league bout against Spring Ford High School.
As part of a 202-255 victory over the host Rams, DiLisio shot a one-under 34 at Linfield National Golf Club, while Snakard crafted a round of 38 and Schoeller carded a 40.

The man who draws Miami musicBy Jordan Melnick | February 25th, 2014 | 1 Comment
Ever notice the lanky hatted dude in the cut at the local show drawing calmly in his sketchbook as a mosh pit churns and swirls around him? Probably not. Brian Butler somehow manages to draw in public without drawing attention to himself. At the end of the night, he has an illustrated account of the show more nuanced than most written reviews, brimming with more life than your average photo slideshow. Continue »
