that would have made it more com.
Portable and convenient. During eau.

at tea, both OF them men OF means and

tea he had drank at the house Of one
friend, of the rich tea service that he
had seen upon the table of another, of
the rare old china that WAS used in his
own household, and Of the dainty
meals he had eaten from il. In the
cramped, little sitting room. after tea,
he sat by the stove and talked Of the
delights Of an open wood fire, OF his
enjoyment Of raro and costly books and
pictures, and of twenty other things
that the host Of whose hospitality he
had partakcn did not and could not

clear, although nothing was said. that
his visit had caused pain, that il had

visitor. He brought good cheer in his
very face. The room, he said, felt 20
warm and comfortable after his walk.

give a man good appetite for his sup.

The action of the Board Of Pardons.
on Thursday last, in pardoning Rousch

the following beautiful passage:
One instance IN his life, which many

and the mans great tenderness. On

went. the mitre on his brow and the
PASTORAL staff ~ his hand-hc went
around to give his blessing TO the croWd
OF people who c1ultcd in and were
proud Of his elevation, who knew him
in childhood. who saw his labors in the
priesthood, and now saw him crowned
by his elevation TO the Episcornte. A.
he went down the nave Of the church
En aged lady bowed her head Ia receive
his blessing, aud then looked up TO him
her eyes full of tears of gratitude TO God
for his elevation. She looked up-that
tender mother loved him 80 much--and
bowling his mitrcd head he kissed
his mothers brow. showing an indie
pendence and n tenderness. His heart
was touched. There are those who
speak of the weaving Of the aztec
tions--of the independence necessary
for Divine lovc-hut no matter what
wcaning there may be, the lore Of the
mother ever remains. That mother
that IS with her child, in afliction or in
Joy that mother will be beside him

whose love disgrace cannot lessen that
