BEARING THE CROSS.
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.

Tho heavier cross, the nearer heaven,
No cross without, no God within;
Death, judgement from the heart are driven
Amidst the worlds false glare and din,
o! huppy he, with all his loss,
Whom God hath set beneath the cross.
The heavier cross the better Christian:
Thi, is the touchstone God applies;
How many u garden would liz wasting,
Unwet by tears from weeping ewes
The gold by fire Is purified
The Christian Is by trouble tried,

My heart grew weary of play,

And we've are far apart;

and the gamblers form as we'll. The
revolver followed. The gambler
stepped into the aisle, and at this

to loose their interest In the game,

down the aisle towards the door

a son who was cast for Osric; and

aud black-coated gentleman, step
ping suddenly out, ran against the
young man; begging his pardon, he
abruptly asked:
"Monsieur, have you half anh our

"For what, sir7"
To render me a service which will
bring you in a Jride of say 100
francs"
"Do you call that losing half an
hour! What is it you wish ?"
TO serve as a witness to q will.
One witness has failed to come; the
sick man is dying. Will you serve7'
The journalist consented, and fol.
lowing the notary, found himself
in a sumptuous chamber near the
bed of the moribound, and seated
himself with the other witness. The
old man had no relatives, and made
short work of his will. 1t was ready
for him to sign. They opened the
curtains to give him light. A ray
fell across the jo urnalist's face. The
sick man saw him, and motiOned
him to approach.

"do YOU know me?

"Ah They are rare-those peo-

And turning toward the ear of the
notary, the old man added codicil
to his will. The witnesses signed,
the notary countersigned, and tho
former, each noted for 100 francs of
legacy, retired.
The next day the journalist re.
visited the actress. Coming away
he rang at the old mans door and
asked after him. lie had died dur
