TEE OLD MAN IN THE MODEL
CHURCH.
BY JOHN II. YATES.

Well, wife. I've found the model ohurchl
worshipped there to-day
1t made me think of good old times before my
hair was gray;
The meetin' house was fixed up more than they
were years ago,
But then felt when went in it wasn't BULL
for show.
!. s4ss II. - --as-s-rs--s-.s,-
The sexton didn't seat me away back by th'
door;
He knew that was old and deaf,as well as colo
and poor;
He must have been Christian, for he led m,
through
The long aisle of that crowded church to find
pleasant pew.
I wish you'd heard the siagin'; it had the ole
time ring;
The preacher said, with trumpet voice, "Le
all the people sing"
The tune was Coronation, and the music up
ward rolled
Till thought heard the angels striking al
their harps of gold.
Ny deafness seemed to melt away; my spiri
caught the fire;
1 joined my feeble, trembling voice with tina
melodious choir,
And sang as in my youthful days, "Let angel
PROSTATE fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Hin
Lord of all"
I tell you, wife, it did me good to hear tina
tune once more;
I felt like some wrecked mariner who gets
glimpse of shore;
almost wanted to lay down this weather
beaten form,
And anchor in the blessed port, forever from th
storm.
VI.
The preachin'? Well, I can't just tell all tha
the preacher said;
I know it wasn't written l know it wasn't read
he hadn't time to read it, for the lightning G
his eye
Wont flashing long from pew to pew,nor passe
a sinner by.
The sermon wasn't fowery; twas simple gosp
truth;
1t fitted poor old men like me; it fitted hopefr
youth; z-'''
Twas full of consolation, for weary hearts tbs
bleed;
Twas full of invitations to Christ. and not .
creed.
The preacher made sin hideous in Gentiles an
in Jews;
He shot the golden sentences down in the fne'
pews
And-though can't see very well-I saw tt
fallin' tear
That told me hell was some way off, and hoave
very near.
How swift the golden moments flee, within th'
holy place;
How brightly beamed the light of heaven frol
every happy face;
And l longod for that sweet time, when frier
shall meet with friend.
when congregations neer break up, and Sal
bath hath no end
I hope to meet that minister-that congreg
ton, too
| In the dear home beyond the stars that shin
| from heavens blue;
I doubt not I'll remember, beyond LIES evenir
| gray,
The happy hour of worship in that mod
church to-day.
Dear wife, the fight will soon be fought--tl
| victory be won;
The shinin' goal is just ahead; the race is near
| run.
Ger the river we are nearin', they are throngi
| to the shore
| To shout our safe arrial where the weary wet
no moro.

"Amuse?' said the other staring; ''do

conclude you must have some other way
of passing your time"

ouEEN sIoroRrA,s HABTrs.

When free from the cares OF State, Moth
ing can be simpler than the dsily routine OF
life Queen Victoria leads at B&lmoral Cas-
tin. She manages her household on very
strict principles, tie servants according 20
merit-promOtiOn always being held OUT,
For a stupid act one member Of the royal
household had to wait ten years for promo
ton. Her Majesty rises at Z, takes break,
fast at 9, and then attends to dispatches and
private correspondence. Luncheon ls at z,
then drives ont in her carriage. During
meals q piper plays in front OF tie window.
She dimes at $50 in the library, not having
used the large dining-hali since the death of
her husband. There is 10 display IN the
library-the arrangements are Of the sim
plest character. She spends much OF her
time in Prince Albert's room. She comes
quietly in TO her dinner, with her knitting
in her hand, and retires early. She is a
woman of great method. In all weather she
is seen abroad. A rainy day does not keep
her in; W tn a water proof and an umbrella
she de6es the elements. II is quite 3 COM
mon thing to see her walking IN the grounds
under drizzling rain. She is hearty wo-
man, having 20 sine lady" fancies. She
dresses consistently with the climate and
the weather, and fresh, eomely, sensible
looking lady she is, in her comfortable,
plain jacket and bFoad-brimmed hat.
