Browns Benefice.

1t is some yearsnow since an old cler
gyman died-we forget his name, but
Brown will do-of whom story was
told which even then seemed Incredible.
it would seem more so now. Mr.. Brown
had been in the army, and, finding his
occupation gone alter Waterloo, gladly
accepted an offer Of fat living down in
Cornwall. ''You needn't reside, you
know" his friend, the patron, said,
"you can get curate to do the work
for ESQ year or so, and you
can live about town on the rest" There
was little difficulty about procuring
ordination, but Ii. H. H. the Duke OF
York overcame that. He gave the can
didate a note to take to the Bishop OF
Cork: "Dear Cork-Ordain Brown,
Yours, York" In a few days Mr.. BrowD
presented himself before the comman
der-in-chief with note: "Dear York
Browns ordained. Yours, Cork"
The thing was done. Brown went
down to Cornwall, read himself in, and
returned to London. He lived some
fifty years more, and never visited his
benetice again When such things
were, we need not wonder that Bishop
of Llandaff could reside permanently Oh
the banks of Windermere, never visiting
his diocese. But happily the absentee
is an impossibility in these better days,
and the mere sporting parson is a rara
avis. London Society.

7 sing the Hymn of the Conquered, who fell
in the battle of life
The hvrnn of the wounded, the beaten, who
died overwhelmed in the strlie
Not the iubilant song of the v1ctors, from
whom the resounding acclaim
OF nations was lifted in chorus, whose brows
wore the chaplet of fame
But the HYMN of the low and the humble,
the weary, the broken IN heart,
Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a
silent and desperate part;
Whose youth bore no flower III its branches,
whose hopes burned in ashes away,
From whose hands slipped the prize they
had grasped at who stood at the dying
of day
With the work of their life all around them,
unpited, UNDECIDED, alone,
With death swooping down DER their failure,
ard all but their faith overthrOwn.
While the voice of the world shouts its
chorus, its peen for those who have
While the trumpet is sounding triumphant
and high to the breeze and the sun
Cay banners are waving, hands Gaping,
and hurrying feet
Thronging after the laurel crowned vlctors-
| l stand on the field of defeat,
In the shadow, 'mongst those who are fallen,
| and wounded and dying-and there
Chant a requiem low, place my hand on
their pain-knotted brows, breathe a
prayer,
Hold the hand that is hapless, and whisper,
''They only the victory win,
Who have fought the good fight, and have
yanquished the demon that tempts us
! within;
Who have held to their faith unseduced by
the prize that the world holds on high (;
| Who have dared for a high cause to suffer,
resist, fght-if need be, to die 2"
Speak history! Who are life's victors? Un-
roll thy long annals and say
Are they those whom the world called
victors, who the success of day
! The martyrs. OR Nero? The Spartans who
fell at Thermopylas's tryst,
Or the Persians and Xerxes? His judges,
or Socrates Plate or Christ?
