Meet Me in the Morning.

He had been absent 8 year, the young est pupil at boys school, and now his mother was expecting him every day, and she went about, proud and happy, telling her friends of his improvement in his studies, and always ending with his being such good boy Then came telegram from Willie himself, the first real message he had ever sent-how funny it seemed, from that baby-and there was just this simple form, "Meet me in the morning." His mother went about all day with it in her hand, read ing it over as if it had been in the child's own handwriting. Then she smiled to herself as she pasted it carefully in a ap-book, while somebody suggested framing it, to hang over the mantel.
 But all the friends loved Willie; he was the only son of his mother and she was widow-and he did not come in the morning There came instead, the dread news of nasty illness, and his mother hurried to her darling boy, but it was too late The despoiler had done his work-he was breathing out his little life in the sleep from which he never would awaken here. Only once toward the last, he unclosed his eyes swiftly and saw the dear mother-face bending over him, and murmured with dry, husky lips, "Meet me in the morn ing, mamma"
 l Dear boy it is morning with him al ways-the morning light of fairer than Italian skies while we yet grope among the shadows. But by and by

Wife Murder.

Three months ago Henry Dclmach, a French
Canadian, appeared at Wralonsburgh, Essex

woman. He was lazy, drunken, ill.kempt
tramp, Stunned by everybody IN that remote
Adirondack settlement, except by Mrs. Betscy
Wells, a respectable widow, with some proper
