SenSlDly through the morn gate to dreAm-
land. They were all unconscious that
the eyes Of the bellows-boy at the organ
had watched them ascend to their airy
citadel. When the Christmas decorations
were finished and the last hymn was sung
the church was deserted. The Bishop
only remained in the sanctuary, and the
ws-boy by the railing, waiting to
speak to him. Presently he told how he
had seen two boys go up into the tower.
The Bishop listened, then thanked and
dismissed him. Do you suppose the boy
went Immediately from the church-yard2
Perhaps he did. It would i'll become the
historian to cast any insinuations or to
write that he loitercd around to see what
would happen.
The Bishop was, for some time, unde-
termined what to do. He too, had been
a poor boy once, and his heart warmed to
his little brothers. He took wax can
die, lighted it and proceeded to the tow
er. There he found the sleeping chill
dren. He stuck his light into Larry's
lantern, and stood bending over them.
In few minutes the clock in the steeple,
over their heads, chimed Christmas
morning! Perhaps the noise woke Ned.
AS he turned over, and opening his eyes
wider, saw the form clad in purple robes
and wearing a golden cross upon his
breast, and flashing ring upon his fin
ger, he sprang up, and would have
screamed; but the Bishop spoke so kind
ly to him that Ned took him for Santa
Claus. BY this time Larry was aroused.
When he had collected his wits little,
he sat up and truthfully told this simple
story.
One morning the summer before, he
and Ned were passing and heard the Or
gan, which drew them in. They Won
dered what they kept up those stairs, and
concluded to see. When they found that
nice little room up so high, it looked so
pretty and sunny, and had such narrow
windows that Ned couldn't fall out, they
thought they would stay there; it was
Gods house, and they would have no
rent to pay. Then he sold his mothers
ring and did as she had bid him; for now
they had home up high near hers, and
place to spread their bed.
'Them stockings in the window ar
Ned's. He's not as old as me, and he
thought he'd get something in EN-" con-
tinued Larry, apologetically, showing
that he had gained wisdom with years.
Their new friend felt his eyes fill with
tears. He told the boys to come down to
church at 6 o'clock, and lett them with a
kind word. The boys were prompt. After
early service they went into the episcopal
residence, where they had been told to
come. Such breakfast of hot beefsteak
and rolls and butter and coffee they had
never sat down to before. Then their
backs were newly covered and they had
new shoes and hats, and pockets full of
sugar plums and new stockings full of
goodies. The Bishop called them his
'Christmas Carols" After they passed
through school, Larry studied architec-
ture. He has built many many churches
since, with the belfry stairs as broad and
low and easy of ascent as belfry can be-.

darlings would be to them in the years tc
come; yet have through neglect, undue
indulgence nor harshness so reared them
that instead of joy and assistance their
mismanaged otfsprings have brought
them only sorrow and distress! Cruel is
the fate that forces these unhappy pa
rents to eat, in their old age. of the bitter
fruit which their own wretched hands
have cultivated to maturity. The rank
soil in which revenge tlourishcs most lux
uriantly is especially productive of Dead
Sea apples.
How much worry, plotting. litigation
or even crime is often incurred to accom-
plish mans vindictive or spitcful designs,
while the pleasure derivable from the full
tillment of these is, in nearly every in
stance, confined only to antici patton, and
leaves an after-taste whose bitterness is
greatest when lites end draws near.
While well-assorted marriage, to which,
in addition to love, each partner brings a
due sense of the solemnity and obi ga
tons of wedlock, and spirit of forbcar-
ance and compromise, is sure to yield
content and happiness, union lacking
any OF these conditions is not at all un-
likely to be fertile in Dead Sea fruits.
In short those who desire never to taste
this nauseous product would do we'll to
keep clear of improvidence, idleness, in
temperance and vices of every kind, for
the fruits of all these will inevitably have
the flavor of the apples of Sodom.

MacMahOn and his Barber.

"Ill ny pas de grand homme pour
son valet de chambre' The charming
writer whose series of essays entitled
Ground About France" has been appear
ing in the London Daily News, takes this
saying of Talleyrand's as a motto for an
imaginary conversation between the
President of the French Republic and
his barber: $50 the people are or UNI
bling, Monsieur lie Marechal. Well, we'll,
they are discontinued LOT, who never
know what's good for them. All the
same if had the honor of governing
them (here gentle dab in the mouth
in the mouth with the shaving brush to
prevent the hero from answering), if I
governed them should fling Bonaparte
at their heads, and have done with it.
My impression is that this would silence
(dab), though nothing else will unless
you give 'em Republic in earnest, which
is of course out of the question. (Dab.)
Steady, please, Monsieur lie Marechal, or
we shall snick our chin. Going to the
perfumer's yesterday to buy this soap, l
told 'cm the last cake didn't lather as it
ought, but they answered that politics
were the cause of it, for trade was going
to the dogs. That's the old story, and
there was a barber in the shop who said
that if Monsieur lie Marechal would have
himself proclaimed Emperor we should
all dane in ring, and be happy, but

Mrs. Murray had no spoon for her soup,

the fact. The man-servant replied to his
mistress, in voice which was heard all
over the room, "Mum, the last time Mrs.
