THIRD CLASS MATTER.-Whon Senator
hamlin got the rates on thrd-class postage
matter raised 10 a cent an ounce, last
spring, no change was made in the preyi-
Gus rates Of half that for similar matter be-

spring catalogues 10 Windsor, Ont, whence.
during The last four or five weeks, 1928 bags
OF this literature have been mailed to peo-
pie In the United States. These bags

for your noble kindness. A conveyance will
come Immediately to take you to your new
residence. When you are fairly established
there, your friend, the writer of this, will do
himself the honor of calling on YOU
Respectfully yours, Howard MORGAN.
William Edgarton looked at his wife as he
finished reading, and both burst into tears.
Well did they know the name of Howard
Morgan; the upright and high minded old
bachelor 1t was in his employ that Will
liam Edgarton had received the serious in
jury that had disabled his left arm for life.
yet strange to say he had never seen the rich
man, his business being done principally by
an agent He had no boubt but his visitor
was none other than MIR. Morgan.
True to the promise contained in the letter,
conveyance came for the Edgartons, and
without hesitation they entered and were
driven to their handsome and pleasantly stu
ated house. They found it prepared for i'm
mediate occupation-even to the plentiful
fires and smoking breakfast on the table,
He received all the grateful thanks the be-
wildered Edgartons tried to make him, and
taking seat on the sofa, he drew them
down on each side OF him.
He was we'll dressed now, and Mrs Edgar
ton wondered that she had not noticed the
extreme kindness of his countenance on the
preceding evening.
My good friends, he said, taking a hand
of each, I'm begin to explain a little mys-
terry. had heard of the misfortune of one
of the workmen, through my agent, and that
his family were in destitute circumstances.
Before could trust myself to do anything
for you | wished to ascertain the true state
of affairs, and last nights experience satisfied
me. When find charity and true goodness
7 I - ,l,,
warded, even in this life. And now Mr..
Edgarton, am in want of deputy manager,
and promise the situation to you, when you
shall be able to endure the fatigue. The sal
ary is two hundred pounds year, and per-
haps your pretty wife can manage affairs
comfortably on that-eh, Mrs. Edgarton?'
and the old man cast a good-humored glance
into her tear-wet face.
That was happy day for Mr. and Mrs
Edgarton. 1t was alsoa happy day far the
charitable Mr.. Morgan, and no doubt the
angel who records the good deeds of men
wrote many shining line against his name
that day. William Edgarton assumed the
post offered him in his establishment. and
faithfully were his duties discharged, and
more than satisfied his employer.
Mrs. Edgarton grew to be the merriest,
blithest little woman to be found anywhere.
Mr.. Morgan spends many delightful
evening at their house, holding their bright
eyed little Howard on his knee, and telling
him pleasant stories of the great and good.

BRIsTow is relieved, if any relief seemed
necessary, of any damaging chances regard
ing that Louisville hog story. Reeves, the
drunken loafer who made the statement that
Bristow, while District Attorney. had dis
missed case against him upon his giving
him the proceeds of drove of hogs, has con-
fessed that when he made the statement he
was drunk; that he never gave Bristow any
hogs; that he was never involved in any
trouble requiring his assistance whereby
donation of hogs would have been possible.
and that the whole statement was, in point of
fact. a simple hog story. On the whole, the
man Reeves, in inventing and retailing so i'm
probable yarn, shows that in his nature he
is good deal more of hog than man.

Moody, Sankey and the Catholics.
New York Correspondence Chicago Tribune.

New York Correspondence Chicago Tribune]
1t is printed as a significant fact, that in
response to request from Messrs. Moody
and Sankey on St. Patrick's Day, the bands
of music in the procession were hidden to
cease playing in the neighborhood of the
Hippotirome while religious services were in
progress therein. This was clever and cour-
teous, and is mentioned as especially signiti-
cant, because Mr.. Moody in his sermons never
says anything offensive to the Roman Cath
olics, and on several occasions has rebuked
speakers who have spoken slightingly of
Catholicism. He says, very justly, that he
hopes to turn impenitent Catholics to repent
ance, and that if he alowss sedarian prejudi-
ces to drive away many who have been brought
up in Catholic families he can never hope for
Gods blessing on his labors There is
story current that early on his return from
Philadelphia he waited upon two Catholic
priests and asked them to attend one of his
meetings. He said: Nov, you come and
take notes; if you think it is Moody and
Sankey's work, say so; but if you think the
Lord is in it, then come in and help us. If
you cannot come in yourself, let your people
come in, and We won't do them any harm.
The priests accepted the invitation, and now
Brother Moody has in his possession letter
from one of them thanking him for his
courtesy to Catholics and wishing him to pray
for his soul.

Gen Buffers Daughter.

Gen. Buffers daughter, now the wife of
the unfortunate Ames, was lovely girl in
every sense of the word blessed with an ami
able disposition, engaging manners, and a
sweet, shrinking delicacy of manner charming
to behold, while her face was radient with
purity and replete with an expressible beauty,
Her hair, which was very luxuriant, was
deep, rich auburn, and her skin of the fine,
soft whiteness which usually accompanies
hair so warmly tinged. Every one wondered
from whence gentle Blanche Butler derived
her beauties of person and character, for her
mother is by no means handsome, and al
though very worthy woman, was leading
the life of an actress when Gen. Butler mar
ried her. The daughter evidently inherits
her charms from some distant ancestor, who
perhaps in his or her day we're numbered
among lhe inhabitants of sylvan shades.

'Oh mother, what do they mean by blue?
And what do they mean by gray?''
Waa heard from the lips Of a little child
AZ she bounded in from play.
The mothers eyes filled up with tears;
She turned 10 her darling fair,
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
IT. treasures of golden hair.
"Nny mothers eyes are blue, my sweet,
And grandpas hair is gray,
And the love we bear our darling child
Grows stronger every day."
"But what did they mean?" persisted the child;
"For saw two crippics to day,
And OF them said he fou tht for the blue;
The other he fought for the gray.
''Nou, he OF ht blue had lost a leg,
The other had bat arm,
And both seemed worn and weary and sad,
Yet their erecting was kind and warm.
They told OF battles in days gone by,
TIL il made my young blood thrill;
The leg was lost in the Wilderness fight,
And tie Malvern Hill.
And talked for an hour more,
TIL their eyes grew bright and their hearts seemed
With fighting their battles DER.
And. parting at last with friendly grasp
III kindly, brotherly way,
Each called on God to speed the time
Uniting the blue and the gray
Then the mother thought of other days
Two stalwart boys from her riven;
How they knet at her side, and, lisping prayed
'Our Father which art in heaven
How one wore the gray and the other the blue,
How they passed away from sight,
And had gone to the land where gray and blue
Are merged in colors of light.
And she answered her darling with golden hair,
While her heart was sadly wrung
With the thoughts awakened in that rad hour
by Ter innocent, prattling tongue:
"The blue and the gray are the colors of God;
