At nine o'clock yesterday morning
an old woman sat in the Michigan Cen
trail Station wiping the tears from her
eyes 1t was nobodys business in par
ticular to inquire whether she had
fallen heir to a million dollars or was
travelling through life with a broken
heart, but one certain man stepped
forward after a time and made some
inquiries. Then he passed around
among the crowd and said:
Gentlemen, here is a poor old
woman who wants to get to Columbus
to her friends. Let's take up collec-
tion."
In the course of four or five minutes
purse OF three dollars was made up,
but when he had counted it, the man
said:
Gentlemen, let's chip in enough
more to buy her new dress. I'm a
poor man; but here's quarter for the
old lady"
The purse was now increased to
nearly seven dollars, and the woman
had Just pocketed the money when a
man stepped forward and said to the
collector of the purse:
"Why Banks, is this you?"
"0f course it is"
@And that woman is your wife,
"Well, Mr.. Kniekerbocker," replied
the man as he buttoned his coat, ait's
a mighty mean man who won't chip
in quarter to buy his own wife a
dress and help her off on a visit!

IMMORTALITY

Selected, for my parents, in their recent af-
Fiction.
When fondest hopes, long cherished in the
heart,
Are found deceptive-when disease invades
The peaceful, happy home, and budding
youth
Is nipped in all it's lovellness clouds
Are gathering thick and dark around the
o, then how precious the consolipg thought
That there's a world where no corroding
No withering blasts of sorrow, no mistrust,
No disappointments come-where harmony
And love forever reign!
Oh, tell me not
That this short, fieeting span of life is all
or mans existence-that the Christian s
hope
OF immortality beyond the grave
Is but baseless dream-that death must
close
The eye, to gaze no more upon the forms
OF those beloved on earth, TO roam no
more
Ger Natures bOundless glories = that his
touch
Must stop the ear forever to the words
CT sympathy and love-Or that his arm
Can stay the onward progress of the mind,
Say, can it be that intellectual powers
Ordained to soar from world to world afar,
To pace the comets mystic course and
weigh
The planetary orbs, were formed for less
Than endless beings? Can the wind whose
sway
The lightning owns, whose mandates to
fulfill
The spark electric speeds, can faculties,
Allied to the angelic, be designed
For such a transient exercise as that
OF three score years and ten?
Thought most absurd
A higher destiny awaits the soul.
When Death shall free it from the clogs of
IT'S true existence shall have but begun
Eternal life: how fail our loftiest powers
To grasp the mighty thought! Eye hath
not seen,
Nor ear hath heard, nor heart of man con-
ceived
The things which God hath graciously pre-
pared
For those who love him; but enough we
know
To kindle earnest longings for their full
Fruition in the endless years to come.

Meet Me IN the Morning.
Bloomington lly'

He had been absent a year, the
youngest pupil at boys school,
and now his mother was expecting
him home every day, and she went
about proud and happy, telling her
friends of the improvement In his
studies, and always ending with his
being such good boy. Then comes
a telegram from Willie himself, the
first real message he has ever sent
how singular ii seemed from that
baby-and there was just this SIM
pie form: "Meet me i'm the morn
ing" His mother went about all
day with it in her hand, reading IL
over as if il had been in the child's
own handwriting. Then she smiled
to herself, as she pasted ii carefully
in Il scrap-book, while somebody
suggested framing il TO hang over
the mantel. But all the friends
loved Willie he was the only son
of his mother, and she was widow
he did not come IN the morning
There came instead the dread news
OF his hasty illness, and his mother
hastened 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 fully ava
ken here. Only once toward the
last, he Enclosed his eyes swiftly,
and saw the dear mothers face
bending over him, and murmured,
with soft, husky lips: meet me
in the morning, mamma Dear
boy it is the morning with him al
ways-the morning light fairer
than Italian skies-while we yet
grope among the shadows. But
by-and-by, ..
we shall go home at evening,
And find IL morning there.
