how he supposed she should be able to
get home.
We should be glad to give the con.
clusion in minute detail, but can only
say that Harry went to see Molly in less
than an hour after DIR. Stone had left
Mr.. Browns residence. What was said,
what penitence, forgiveness and tears
healed all wounds and blotted out all
offenses, must be left to conjecture. 1t
is only known that Harry went to
church next day with Molly on his arm,
and that he sat beside her during the
two services. Aunt Sally Goodenough
was sorely perplexed, and scarcely took
her eyes off the unconscious doctor,
who devoutly listened to the sermon as
if there had never been a Molly Brown
or a picnic in the universe. Clara
Evans left the village during the week,
so that the beans and roses had a
chance to grow in peace.
In the autumn there was joyful
wedding, and the brilliant lights shone
far from Harry's windows to illumine the
pathway of the many approaching
guests to the subsequent merry making.
DR.. Stone came and found the bridal
couple in Molly's pretty room.
"Ah, Lane" said he, 81 was very
near getting your bird from you, and
then what would you have done with

The handsome Harry tossed back his
heavy curls, and laughing as he drew
Molly near to him, exclaimed

concerning that abominable picnic |
You see that l have my bride safely
within our own new home"

My peaceful, calm, contented breast;
By night my slumbers never fail
OF welcome rest.
Boon as the sun, with orient beams,
Gilds the fair chambers of the day,
Musing, trace the murmuring streams
That wind their way
Around me nature fills the scene
With boundless plenty and delight,
And touched with joy sincere, serene,
l bless the sight.
/ bless the kind creating Power
Exorted thus for frail mankind,
At whose command desccnds the shower
And blows the wind.
Happy the man who thus at ease,
Content with that which nature gives,
Him guilty terrors never seize,
He truly lives.
