Seventeen years passed by, bringing
joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain,
bearing on their wings that insepara-
BILE companion of Time, the King Of
Terrors, who 'ruthlessly froze with his
icy breath alike old and young, the
beautiful, the unloved, the irreligious,
and the Christian, to whom alone he
was divested of his sting.
And how had Time dealt with
Grace Kingstone ?" The freshness of
youth had long departed from her face,
which, never beautiful, had become al
most repelling in its cold, dark ex
preston, and her life was even more
entirely lonely than on the evening
when she parted from her brother for
ever.

sounded so dreary as when, on the

A Wicked Joke.
HOW AN OIL EXCHANGE DUDE WAS M
POSED UPON.

The members of the New York Oil
Exchange are rather swell set of
young men, but the lead in the matter
of clothes is taken by youth known
as ''the dude whose name is Withheld
for the sake of This relatives. This
dude strolled into the Exchange during
dull hour yesterday, and Solomon in
all his glory was never arrayed like
one of him. To begin near the bottom
his feet (the dudes, not Soomon's)
were encased in the glossiest of patent
feathers his trousers fitted like the

startched until it shone, and his collar
was perfection itself, and raised his
chin so that he could only gaze at the
floor at the hazard of cutting his throat,
But his tout ensemble, so to speak, was
completed and set off by the darlingest
silk hat imaginable, with the broadest
and most curling of brims and a beau
tifully bulgent top. Altogether be was
radantly, dizzlingly beautiful. The
dude stopped near the middle of the
floor, struck an attitude much affected
| by garden statuary, and gazed serenely
and pityingly upon his commonplace
fellow brokers. But, horror of horrors!
a rude man came behind him and
jerked the silken tile from his head,
and the next moment it was thrown to
the floor, had received a vicious kick,
and dozen brokers were running after
it. They surrounded it, and away it
sailed again toward the ceiling with the
entire membership of the Exchange,
save only the owner, in wild pursuit.
Round and round the floor gamboled
the merry brokers with the hat before
them. Now it was suffering in their
midst, tnen it shot over the floor with
desperate efforts to escape, only to be
overtaken again, trampled, kicked, and
trodden until it presented an appear,
ance as if it had been laid down on by
a COW and then spent summer under
a dust-heap, and the gay brokers were
tired out and perspiring, The dude dur

of his wicked associates led them to tn

back to that night when she had vol.
unfairly bidden long farewell to Char
lie and as she recalled his parting
words, so sadly spoken, the old bitter
remorse returned fourfold, and in vain
she endeavored to still it by thinking
of the kind, forgiving letter her broth
er had written just before his death
of the care she had taken of his chill
dren Of their love and gratitude to
her-all but intensified her pain. She
turned restlessly on her lounge and
heaved deep sigh.
"Grace," said voice close beside
her, "Grace, my sister"
The tones of that long silent voice
thrilled hersto her inmost soul she
seemed oppressed as if by weight /:
but at length, with great effort she
slowly opened her eyes.
Her nephews and nieces were gone
subdued, silvery radiance shone about
her, and, at the foot of the lounge stood
Charlie, gazing at her with a face ex-
pressive of the deepest, holiest affec-
ton. just as she had last seen him,
save that the glorious purity of immor-
tai youth and beauty were now his,
and that all traces of sadness had de-
parted from his brow, which beamed
with sincerity upon her "Charlie, my
darling" she murmured, sob, tell me,
is there forgiveness for me 2
The vision pointed upwards to
cross suspended in the air and answer
ed 4:
"The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth
us from all sin"
Graces eyelds dropped irresistibly,
and she sobbed aloud for very joy, till
she was conscious of some one bonding
over her, bathing her head, and beg
ging hei to speak. Loving faces were
gathered around her, and Lillian told
her, gently carressing her, that she had
frightened them very much by talking
and crying in her sleep.
| Grace took Fred's hand in one of
/ her own, stroked his hair softly with
| the other for awhile, and then said
90 Fred, my darling child, don't
grieve so Think what an old woman
| am, and what fair country l am
fastening to. You have been good
children to me, you and Lillian, and my
best comforts, but have reached the
end of my journey, am weary, so wea
ry! My life has been sadly marred by
mistakes, unkindness and bitter feel
ings, but trust il is all forgiven aud
blotted out by the blood of the Lamb.
Kiss me goodnight now, all of you,
my children, and receive your old aunt
les last blessing"
There was an empty lounge standing
} in the corner when the four met again
next morning, and many were the tears
shed as their glances wandered in its
direction, but their grief was chastened
and softened by thoughts of the hsppi-
nesss of that redeemed soul in Paradise
and there was not one heart that could
not say, "rhe Lord gave, and the Lord
hath taken away, blessed be the name
: of the Lord"
And thus it came to pass that the
house by the river, once the scene OF
a heartless separation, caused by pride
and prejudice, became the witness of a
+ grand reunion, over which the angels
might have bent in holy JOY, and con
templated with ineffable love.-Lddy's

JOURNALISTIC SUPERSTITIONs.

"Are editors as superstitious as theater
actors and sailors and railroad men p ask
ed an old subscriber Of the Burlington

"Yes," said the solemn editor, "they
are. Ever since newspapers were invent

partment have had superstitious beliefs
and ideas peculiar to their profession.

wants to go to Congress and has an edito-

manager is gloomy all day, because he
doesn't believe that article is going in the
