THE NIGHT WIND. eI ot'
BY GEORGE W. BUxoAY.

The sun, wrapped In shroud Of mist. dropped down
Behind dismal mound Of funeral clouds.
No star shone out to light the solitude. "tl'
When, from rent In the thick threat ming heaven,
Out stole the rutiian wind, on mischief bent.
At mid night while reposing on my couch,
His stealfhy hand came feeling at my door,
And at the lattice drummed with touch unseen,
Thrusting his arm through every open pane,
Rattling the blinds and soaring sleep away,
Piping low baas on the chimney hute,
Infringing careless gates and swinging signs,
And, with his lips Upon athousand tubes,
At once blew q loud universal blast. - i.i'-t
He woke O rose.lipped maiden from her dreams, j
Then from the bent mast shook her sailor boy
Into the watery grave he scooped Tor him rt
Return ing then on wings invisible,
Shrek d In her ears the story OF his death.
Black thunder clouds cano roaring from the South,
Like lions through the desert of the night, hn
Soaring the earth and binding all the sky, lelio
With darkness dense, that filled the space butween
The moonless heaven and melancholy earth, u
As sin fills the dark bosom with despAir fra
When 10! crinkling flash revealef|ahe scene
OF wood and stream, and bridge aAS hashing spire.
As momentary CLEANS Of conscience shew
Poor unrepentant man hispast sad life. .1iGh
Flash followed flash, and peal succeeded peal,
As IL the angry spirit of the stormT rt,. ! ....s
Would shake the stars out OF the STOPPING sky.
From the rent clouds down poured the arrowy rain,
Then milder airs did soothe the sobbfng storm,
Which, like sad heart, found relief in tears.

INoREDIBLE LEARs.-The French
papers in the Autumn of 1921 men
toned that man named Desjardins
was tried, on his own confession, as
an accomplice with Kouvel, the as
sassin of the Duke de Berrie. But;
on bis defense, Desjardins contended
that his confession ought not to be
believed, because he was SO notorious
for falschood, that nobody in the
world would give credit to word he
said. In support of this, he proda-
ced a host of witnesses, his friends
and relatives, who all swoie that the
excessive bad character he had Civ

declared 4'not guilty"

LOVE OPENING THE PURSE
Il STRINGS. a. 8a

In one of our quiet rural districts
it has been for years my office to act
as collector for the various objects OF
Christian benevolence. AS | have
gone from house to house upon these
errands of love, l have been, of
course, alternately cheered and de-
pressed; but never have | been more
deeply interested than during the
present week. The last family up
on my list to be called upon, live in
that pleasant valley across the river.
Their neat white cottage, with its
green blinds and snug out-buildings;
tells of thrift and comfort; while
both garden and orchard show that
the farmers labor meet an ample
reward. / have never approached
that thriving homestead without
feeling that there, certainly, fought
to find liberal and cheerful give.s.
But instead Of that, Mr.. c.,
the master of the house, always kept
himself cut of sight ON these occa-
sions; leaving word with his wife
that she didn't think much of these
things, and had nothing to give. "
Mrs. C., though not prefessedly
a Christian, always welcomed me.
Yet, as she did not hold the purse
strings, she could only bestow We
ry moderate donation, and even this
she gate nse with great privacy.
But to-day the scone was changed.

THE BAsHFUL MAN.

Washington Irving at a party in
England, one day, playlully asserted
that the love Of annexation which
the Anglo-Saxon race displayed ON
every occasion, proceeded probably
from its mauuaise hontc rather than
it's greediness. AS proof, he cited
the story Of a bashful friend of his,
who being asked to dinner party,
sat down to the table next to the
hostess in great state Of excitement,
owing to his recluse life. A few
glasses of wine mounting to his
brain, completed his confusion, and
dissipated the small remains of his
presence of mind. Casting his eyes
down, he saw on his lap some white
linen. h
"Good heavens" thought he
"that's my shirt protruding at my
waistband!"
He Immediately commenced tt
tuck in the offending portion of hl'
dress; but the more he tucked in, thu
more there seemed to remain.
At last be made desperate ef
fort, when a sudden crash aroun'
him, and scream from the compa
ny, brought him to his senses.
He had been all the time stufinI
