The (arnpgle Window In Dunfermlile
Abbey.

We understand that the preliminary
arrangements connected with the filling
of the large west window of the Abbey
Church by Mr.. Carnegie, of New York,
which were intrusted by him to Mr..
Robertson, custodian of the abbey, have
now to q certain extent taken shape, and
that the work will be proceeded with ere
long. A hearty response, allowing the
window to be erected, has been received
from Her Maiesty's Commi sioners OF
Works, and every facility-subject to
ordidary regulations-will be afforded,
so that the result may be in all re poets
satisfactory. A most gratifying fact in
connection with the work, and one that
cannot fail to be in the highest degree SO
to Dunfermline, is that Sir Noel
Patton has been induced to accept
a commission to furnish the design.
1t being intended by the donor that the
window shall be historical, and, in his
own words, ''of the best and worthy of
the glorious old abbey" no happier ar
rangement could have been effected than
that the design should be made by an ar
fist so intimately connected with Dun
fermline, and so competent in every re-
spect to undertake the pleasing task. It
has not yet been finally decided what
figures will be chosen to fill the princi-
pal lights of the window. but these at
least are likely to include King Malcolm
Canmore, st. Margaret and King Robert
the Bruce, all of which royal personages
we're buried in the abbey. The lights in
the crossed head of the window and
other spaces will be devoted to heraldie
and similar appropriate insignia; and
the execution of the glasswork will only
be intrusted to some artist-foreign or
otherwise-who is known to be emf
nently qualified to carry out the work IN
the most skillful and approved manner.

1 expected Mr.. McGilder would faint.
But he did not.
In the language of the classics, he
''braced up"
my grandfather" remarked he,
glancing at Aunt Priscilla, "was noted
for his manners"
$50 he was" agreed she. anybody
who ate soup with knife, and went to
bed with his boots on, orter be noted.
He used to come to our house for dinner,
and when he did our hired man allus
used to sarch him afore he got outen the
front door. We'd allus find fork or a
spoon or napkin around him some
where's. 1 believe he'd kerried off the
table if he could have put it in his hat!'
"Mr. McGilder looked as if good,
icy zephyr would revive him somewhat,
but he made last struggle.
"My grandfather's end was noble
one" he said. HE did not die in bed
it was at the battle of Lundy's Lane.
He was shot"
"a mile and half away from the bat
tle-field while stealing of chickens! l
know how Brian McGilder died."
Mr.. McGilder said never word in
reply. ,
He picked up his hat and departed
with bare Goodnight.
Only yesterday 1 passed him upon the
street, and he did not even bow, while
from certain quarters I learn he intends
to foreclose my mortgage.
To crown all, Aunt Priscilla has since
said, very placidly:
81 believe 1 was m ;staken the other
night; 1 never knowed Brian McGilder
1t was Dion McMilder-and it wasn't
me who knowed him, but Cousin Mary.
never knowed any McGilder, no how. u

Tn Ram at Church.

Mollie had little ram, fleece black as
rubber shoe, and every place that
Mollie went he emigrated to.
He went with her to church one day
the folks hilarious grew to see him walk
de-mure-ly into Deacon Aliens pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let his
angry passions rise; and gave 1t an I'M
christian kick between the sad brown
eyes.
This landed ram-my in the aisle, the
deacon followed fast, and raised his foot
again, but oh! that first kick was his last I!
For Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back,
about rod. it's said, and ere the deacon
could retreat it stood him on his head.
The congregation then arose and went
for that ere sheep, but several we'll
ERECTED butts just piled them in heap.
Then rushed they straightway for the
door with curses long and loud, while
rammy struck the hindermost man and
shot him through the crowd.
The minister had often heard that
Kindness would subdue the fiercest beast
-"Ahw then he said, "I'll try that game
on you"
And 80 he kindly, gently, called,
Come, rammy, rammy, ram, to see the
folks abuse you SO, grieved and sorry
ami'
With kind and gentle words he came
from that tall pulpit down, saying ram
my, rammy, ram; ram, rammy, rammy,
ram-best beef in town.
The ram looked meek, and on he came,
with "rammy, rammy, ram; the nice,
pretty ram"
The rammy unite dropped its hum.
BILE air, and rose from of it's feet, and
when the parson lit he lay beneath the
hindmo st seat.
Az he shot ont the open door, and
closed it with q slam, he named Cali.

his grimy hand to the managing editor.
As the editor was not interested in real

representatives, Of the United States at
