Matters of Conscience.

The Rev DR.. Macleod, father of Dr.
Norman Macleod, passing through the
crowd gathered before the doors of a new
church he was about to open, was stopped
by an elderly man with, doctor, if you
please, I wish to speak to you" Asked
if he could not wait until after worship
he replied that it was matter upon his
conscience. so, since it is a matter Of
conscience, Duncan" said the good-na.
tured minister, IL i'll hear what it is
Well, DOCTOR" said Duncan, ''the matter
is this: Yesee the clock yonder on the
new church? Now, thelo is really no
clock there, only the face of one there is
no truth there, only once in twelve hours;
and in my mind that is wrong, very wrong
dan quite against the conscience that
there should be lie on the face of the
house of the Lord The doctor promis
cd to consider the matter. "But, said he,
I'm glad to see We looking so we'll, man.
Ye're not young. I remember you for
many years; but you have fine head Of
hair STILL"
och, DOCTOR exclaimed the unsuspect-
ing Duncan, snow we're joking; it's long
since had my. hair" DR.. Macleod look
ed 5 ocked, and answered, in 4 tone of
reproach, 80, Duncan, Duncan! are YOU
going Into the house of the Lord with n
lie on your heads' He heard no more

Miss Allen recoiled from the contact of
Rena's tluttering scarf. Mrs. st. Jerome

DIRE herself up haughtily.
"YOu never told me this" said she,
Rena's lips quivercd, the tears rushed to
her eyes. Et -.'.
'Was it any disgace2'' said she.
"Of course you won't keep her." said
Clara.
"Certainly not" said Mrs. Allen,
''and all never forgive Mrs Brown

Little Rena dropped her mallct on the
grass and ran into the house, scarcely
waiting until she had reached her eva
room, to burst into the bittercst tears
she had ever shed.

received her, tiguratiyely speaking with

You shall stay with me until we can
hear Of another situation"
But the one circumstance of all that
troubled Rcna most, and which, frank
though she was, she could not confide TO
good Mrs Brown, was the certainty that
she should never see Harold Reede more
In this, however, it CHANGED that she was
mistaken. She had not been three days
within the shelter of her old home when
Rev. Mr.. Reede was announced. Rena
came blushing down to see him.

she faltered, "after what happened at the
croquet ground"
'Avoid you?" repeated he. "For what
do you take me, Miss Lewis? Stay a
minute. Let me speak. I have always
admired you; but upon that afternoon I
comprehended m y own heart. knew
then that loved you.'
And Rena, in the blissful confusion of
her contendiDg emtion, knew not what
answer to make. $780," said Mrs Brown,
shrewdly, 1--WE have no need to look out
for fresh situations, eh? No situation like
that of a wife, Rena.'' .,
And all the brightness of Mrs. Harold
Reede's life had its supplying fount from
the croquet ground, on Georgetown
Heights, where Rena Lewis suffered that
cruel humiliation.
