Next morning one Of the daily papers
contained an item to the effect that an old
gentleman named Goodheart had been found
wandering the streets at night, and that
when taken to the station $4,000 worth of
United States bonds were found on him.
The old man read it over three times s,slapped
his leg as saw the point, and beautiful
smile covered his face and climbed up
through his hair. In about an hour his own
son William rushed into the station and
called out
"Father, dear father, come home All of
us were crying all night long, and my wife
is now lying in a comatose state on your ac-
count"
The old went man with him, winking at
the lamp posts and smiling as he turned the
corners. He had ali his comforts back, and
the son bought him costly pipe and pair
of box-toed boots that very. day.
Well as time went on, the son ventured
to suggest that the bonds had better be turn
ed over to him, and every time he said
'bonds" the old man would smile and turn
the subject to milk cans or the necessity
of counterfeiters taking more pains with
their lead nickels. The other day the faith
er went to bed to die, and he smiled oftener
than before as he lay waiting for the sum-
mons. The son said his heart was breaking
and then went through the old mans clothes
to find the bonds. He didn't find any. He
searched the the barn, and the garret, and
the cellar and finally, when he saw that
death was very near, he leaned over the bee
and whispered:
"Father, do you know me?"
"Oh, yes-I know you like book, " re
piled the dying man.
"And, father, don't you see this thing il
almost killing me?"
Eyes, William, see it."
"And se-those-bonds, yol
know. suppose you want them used to pur
chase you monument?'
Correct William" whispered the father
winking ghastly wink, and as that sam
old smile came over his face, death cam
to take him to a better home.
When evening fell and the son and tn
sons wife were wildly searching the stray
bed to get their hands on those bonds a re
porter stood under the gas lamp across tn
street. and with his thumb on his nose h

On and still on she went. Seim seemed
to fly. One might have iancied that he
knew his mistress was on an errand of life
and death. The lights of the station were
in view-nay, she even saw the station mas
ter's white lantern as he strolled up and
down the platform-the white lantern
which was to signal the approaching train
to tell them TO go ON, for all was well. On
to their doom.
She dashed across the track, flung the
reins to an amazed bystander, and striking
the white lantern from the hand of the as
tonish,d official, she seized the ominous red
lantern from its hook, and springing upon
the track, waved it in thevery teeth of the
coming train.
Two sharp, short whistles told her that
the signal was seen, and a moment later the
train came to stop and the officers rushed
out to learn what it all meant.
Floss-told them in few brief words. and
one OF them went forward to confer with the
train from Galosha, which had not yet been
telegraphed from the next station beyond.
The man waited fifteen minutes before
Kirke's train Sid ON to the siding and it
WAS then known that but for the decision OF
one young girl, the two trains must have
collided four miles beyond Derings Cut.
When told the whole story, Kirke looked

The man from the station looked at his.
Kirke's was ten minutes behind time.

THE LOVED AND LOST.
PROM THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND NAGAzrSE.

''The loved and lost !' Why do we call them lost9
Because we miss them from our onward road
Gods unseen angel DER our pathway crost,
Looked on us all, and, loving them the most,
straghtway relieved them from life's weary load.
They are not lost they are within the door
That shuts out loss, and every hurtfu thing
with angels bright, and loved ones gone before,
In their Redeemers presence evermore.
And God himself their Lord and Judge and King
And this we call "lossw ~ selfish sorrow
or selfish heat! o we Of little faith
Let us look round, an argument to borrow
why we In patience should await the morrow
That surely must succeed the night OF death.
Aye, look upon this dreary desert path,
The thorns and thistes wheresoeer we turn;
What trials and what tears, what wrongs and
wrath,
what struggles and what strife the journey hath!
That have escaped from these; and 10 we mourn.
ASK the poor sailor when the wreck is DONE
Who with his treasures strove the shore to reach.
While with the raging wave he battled on,
Was 1t OF JOY, where every JOY seemed gone,
To see his loved ones landed on the beach?
A poor wayfarer, leading by the hand
little child, had halted by the well
To wash from of her feet the clinging sand
Ana tell the urea Doy or tnat Orlgnt lAnd
Where, this long journey past,they longed to dwell
When 10 the Lord, who many mansions had,
Drew near and looked upon the suffering twain,
Then plying spake, "Give Me the little lad;
In strength renewed, and glorious beauty clad,
I'll bling him with Me when l come again.
Did she make answer selnshly and wrong
"Nav but the woes feel he too must share7"
or rather. bursting into grateful song,
she went her way rejoicing and made strong
To struggle on, since he was freed from care.
| We will do likewise death hath made no breach,
| In love ard sympathy, in hope and trust;
| No outward sign or sound our ear can reach
| But there's an inward, spiritual speech
I That greets us still, though mortal tongues be
dust.
| II bids us do the work that they laid down.
| Take up the song where they broke off the strain
| SO journeying TIL we reach the heavenly town
| Where are laid up our treasures and our CROWN
And our lost loved ones will be found again.

The late Lord Tweedale was fine swords
man, and in the peninsula he had special
sabre made for him OF extra length and
weight, wherewth he slashed away in very
heroic fashion, He was great boxer, too.
One day when he was driving, a gigantic
costermonger, riding, as is their wont, upon
a barrow behind the most diminutive dom
key possible, stopped the way. On being
called upon to move, he fatty refused, and
jeeringly offered to fight for the road. Lord
Tweedale, nothing 10th, got down and
Fought him there and then, according to sci
ence, and in five minutes reduced him to a
pitiable state. The costermonger then gave
in. and wiping the blood from his face, said
"Well, I'm blessed if l thought there was
anybody but Lord Twiddle as could lick
me! "Ah," replied his lordship, who by
this time had remounted his box, 81 am
Lord Tweedale" "Then, it isn't fair Ii
you'd said that at first, I'd have let you
pass"
