ADVENTURE IN AN OMNIBUs.-A lady in

were sold On the way she noticed gentle
man in fine broadcloth suit sitting beside her,
and especially noticed brilliant diamond ring
on his finger. --.-.. .--
She selected her articles and had the bill
made out, and was about to pay it, when she
discovered that her purse was missing, and told
the ieweler she must decline taking the articles
enquired particularly about the company in the
omnibus, and she told him about the man with
the diamond ring. She at his direction ex-
amned her pocket again, and turned it inside

when slipping out her purse had slipped it from

A CHILD'S WISH.

On her grave-stone these words were carve
Lifted Higher"
When the sunlight fell with radiant glory
Over her little bed,
And the wind with gentle fingers, moved
The tresses on her head.
With fainter voice she whispered, while
The angel wings drew higher,
And loving ones Lad hushed their sobs-
ooh, Father, lift me higher"
But her dim sight looked yet further
Than our weeping eyes could see,
Far beyond the land of sunsets,
Into Immortality.
She needed not the crimson mist
That crowned the hills with fire,
But only breathed, in gentle tones,
"Dear Father, lift me higher"
Yet while she spoke the color died
From ont the evening sky,
And twilight, clad in ashy robes,
Passed slow and silent by;
And Death had shut the door of Life,
Smitten the golden Tyre,
And answered the sweet childish wish,
But to be Gifted higher"
Father, we thank Thee for the child
Treads now the eternal hills
Her footsteps falter not beside
- The ever-fowing rills.
Lifted above all grief and care,
From trials borne away,
She has exchanged the twilight gloom
For never ending Gay.
