A PASTORAL SERMON.

In the square, old-fashioned pew,
Little lamb sedately folded
Prayer-book upside down, while you
Whisper "Is it rightly holded?"-
Your big eyes must understand
Something of the far-off land.
While, with theologic heat,
Our good vicar deftly handles
Arguments that must defeat
Popish Rome with all her candles
You, unconscious little text,
Preach gospel more perplexed.
From the Shepherds fold you came,
Into our glad keeping given,
A fresh soul, snow-white lamb.
From the boundless plains of Heaven;
To our keeping, out of his,
"For of such my kingdom is!'
We, his sheep, have grown so old,
And SO weary with our roaming.
Sometimes we forget the fold
And the promise of His coming,
And too fain our feet to stray
In strange pastures by the way:
Or, God help us, pulled with pride.
We dare set ourselves so surely
On the righteous right-hand side.
Whence we eye the goats securely
We, those ne-and-ninety, who
Great temptation never knew.
Only sometimes DER the face
OF little child we linger.
Half ashamed, half awed to trace
Touch of Gods almighty finger,
Till we drop our world-worn eyes
At their innocent surprise.
So-the sermons at an end,
Sunday mornings duty finished
Streaming out, hear friend greet friend.
Rome may hide her head diminished:
HE do preach, our parson dot"
have had my sermon, TOO.
&C. B. Stuart, in Argo

SOMEBODY'S WAITING
FOR ME.
BY ULLIE R. AKERsToRM.

When the sunlight slowly fading
Proclaims the dying day,
And across the fields and meadows
homeward make my way,
Just down the turn in the pathway,
Meath the shade of that tall oak tree,
There's somebody, mild and gentle,
Who watches and waits for me.
She stands in the waning sunshine.
With the lovelight in her eye,
And her wind-swung tresses floating
Ger cheek of crimson dye,
With smile of joyous welcome,
To meet me she gaily trips,
And tender kiss awaits me
From somebody's loving lips.
/ name not her age or station,
Ifhumble or proud she be;
But of all the heaven-given treasures.
The dearest and best is she.
Too kind for thought of evil;
Fer willing my cares to share.
The queen of my hearts deep centre,
Is she who is waiting there.
So, whatever of Ill befall me
Through the weary and tedious day,
AS the evening shadows lengthen,
And homeward take my way,
My step and my heart grow lighter
AS l near to that old oak tree,
For I know that my darlings watching
And waiting to welcome me.

bered what Mr.. Ferris had said about
a divided love. She would have but
small place in Dots new home and
new life.
Never did a day seem so long to
Miss Britman. She had put on her
best black dress in the morning, and
taken little extra care with the ar
rangement of her still abundant hair
that was all the external preparation
she had made for the visit, but her
heart throbbed wildly at every ring
of the bell or step on the carpetless
stairs. But the morning passed-3,
4 O'Clock, and she breathed more
freely; perhaps he wouldn't come
that day, perhaps he wouldn't come
at all. So she went on with her pu-
pill, a dull, tiresome child.

peated over and over again. She
did not hear the step on the stair,
nor a gentle tap at the door, did not
observe it open, and when she looked
up Philip Ferris stood beside her.
For moment her brain reeled, and
she had to hold On to the chair back
to steady herself then she held out
her hand in welcome.
''You may go now, my dear, and
I'll give you the remainder of your
lesson Tomorrow" she said, gently,
and the child wiggled off the stool,
and departed joyfully.
"Margaret!" !" That was all he said
when they were alone, with one hand
holding one of hers and the other Oh

"You have come to speak to me
about-about Dorothy" she falter-

A TOUGH WITNESS.

During a recent trial, it was
thought important by counsel to de-
termine the length Of time that a
certain quarter of beef remained in
an express-wagon in front of plain
tiff's store before it was taken by the
defendant. The witness under ex-
animation was a German, whose
knowledge of English was limited;
but he testified in plain, straight
forward way to having weighed the
meat, and to having afterward car
ried it out and put it into the wagon.
Then the following ensued;
estate to the jury how long it was
after you took the meat from the
store and put it in the wagon, before
it was taken away"

\ Judge Wexford Of the circuit court

100000 obtained by Gen, Malone
from the A. M. & o, R. r. Co. be
taken back frem the school fund and

to the bondholdcrS. The Legislature
last winter appropriated $500, 900 of
this money TO build for the celdred
people a Normal College. The re-
naming $500, 900 was ordered to be
paid to the school fund from which
oSer a million and a. halflof dollars
had been diverted for the use of the
bondholders. This was a sheer act
Of Justice, but the bondholders
take every sharp advantage of the
