A STRANGE DESIRE
OR
THE DYING REQUEST.
BY ARTHUR ]. BRANDT,
AUTHOR OF sfTHE SHADOW ON THE sNow;;"
ssFRoM FALSE TO TRUE "BABy
BELLE" ETC.
CHAPTER 1

stSister Clarep'
Poor Lady Maud, who who was dying,
spoke so suddenly and unexpectedly that
the good Sister, who was doing in the
armchair by her bedside, was greatly
startled. Indeed, voice from the tomb
could not have been more alarming, fo1
Lady Maud had been lying in state oi
insensibility for many hours.
The physician had gone away believing
she would never speak again, and Sister
Glare had made up her mind that she had
nothing to do now but keep watch for that
mysterious gray shadow which is the har-
binger of death.
The Sister had risen at intervals during
her vigil to observe if there was any indi-
cation of its approach; but Lady Maud
was always looking the same. There she
reposed, breathing so imperceptlbly that
she appeared to be already dead.
Her beautiful aged face, pale and placid,
was halt. buried in the lace edged pillow
She slept like an infant, but her features
were as though they had been chiseled in
marble; not single convulsive movement
stirred the blue-veined eyelids or the
slightly parted white lips; and her hands,
resembling wax hands, rested without q
sign of life on the coverlet. A miracle
must have enabled her to speak again.
Sister Clare thought SO, as she re covered
from her momentary shock, and started up
to bend over her charge, and find out what
was wanted.
Lady Maud's eyes were wide open, and
there was bright flush upon her cheeks.
"Clare," said she, in low voice, shave
I been asleep longq'
ga very long timep' answered Sister
Clare. "You must want some winep'-
and she began to pour out little into a
glass.
"Where am I9'' asked Lady Maud, when
her lips had been moistened by a few drops.
"In your own bedv' was the answer.
"And comfortable bed it is, to be sure!
Let me smooth the pillars for you; dc
believe you are better.''
Lady Maud shook her head.
sNo," said she; 'I am dying. I re.
member now. Glare, I wish you would
give me that promise again. l dreamt in
my last sleep that was dead, and YOU
did not fulfill my DESIRE"
"Think of thatp' exclaimed Sister Glare.
cas- if l should notl To me Or omise is
a sacred thing. But will do as you wish. ~
"Wih you swear to keep your word?-
swear on the Bookp'
Certainly, dear, if it will give you any
comfort" replied the Sister, cheerily.
"But l assure you tits quite unnecessary.
II believe it is, Clare, murmured the dy
ing lady, with smile. "And yet, if you
did not mind, should like you to take the
oath"
Glare instantly fetched a Bible and
kissed it, solemnly repeating her promise
"Now are you satisfied, my ladya' said
she, bending affectionately over Lady
Maud.
"QuiteP' answered the dying peeress
And then there ensued long pause, fol
Lady Maud closed her eyes as if she woule
sleep again.
Sister Clare resumed her seat in hel
armchair, wondering If this sudden re
turn 70 consciousness was the last fiicke
Of life. She concluded that ii was, M.

How well remember my grandmother dear,
| see her once more in her low rocking chair
| 1t seems but a day since her presence was here
| In ruffied lace cap and silvery hair.
| listen again while she tells me tonight
To "be good boy" To "grow up aud do right u
Her worf. precious Bible lies closed on her
lap,
Tho sunshine streams in on her beautiful
face,
She quietly closes her eyes for n nap,
The clock in the corner ticks on In It's case,
The almaiac flaps On the old easement nall,
The tea-kettie Sings with a musical wall.
Waile out through the window the swallows I
see;
hear the low rustic of wind through the
trees,
The low of the cattle, the lambs on the lea,
The chirp of the crickets, the hum of the
bees,
The sound of a saw at woodpiIe near by,
And down in the willows the catbird's shrill
cry.
The shadows of nightfall descend on the vale,
She tells me of David. the giant Goliath,
OF Daniel, of Jonah, who lived in whale,
OF bald old Elijah, the chariot of fire.
or forty bad boys who wera eaten by bears,
Then bids me good night as go up the stairs.
Her form in the churchyard has wasted away,
Her .pirit has gone to the country afar;
She walks with the angels in heaven to-day,
She wears on her forehead a crown and
star.
She stands in Gods presence in garments of
white;
She always was 'good" and she always did
right"

POET r. Y


All day, all night, can hear the jar
Of the lo,m of life. and near and far,
1t thrills with its deep and muffled sound
AS tireless the wheels go always round.
Busiy. ceaSIessly, goes the loom;
In the light Of day and the midnight gloom,
And the wheels are turning early and late!
And he woof Is wound in the warp OF fate.
Click, click !-theie's a thread of lore woven In
Click. click !-another of wrong aud sin;
What a checkered thing this life will be
When we see 1t unrolled in eternity!
When shall this wonderful web be done?
In thousand years, perhaps, or one;
Or tomorrow! Who knows? Not thou or I,
But the wheel turns on, the shut:les fly.
All sad-eyed weavers. the years are SLOW!
But each one is nearer the end know;
And soon the last threads shall be woven in
God grant 1t be loue instead Of sin.
Are we spinners of geol In this life wcb, say
Do we furnish the weaver a threat each day
1t were better, Q. m,y friend. to spin
A beautiful thread than thread of sin,

Good illustrations are not too plentiful
and the following, which was introduced
the other day in temperance sermon, Is
worth making note of. According to 3
fable current amongst the Arabs, the vins
in the early stages of its growth was tend
ed by Satan, who first moistened it with
the blood of a peacock, later on that oi !.
monkey was used, then that of a lion, and
finally that of hog. So, says the fablist,
it comes about that in the various stages Of
intoxication man first struts about with
the vanity of peacock, then he makes HIM
self as ridiculous as monkey, and passing
through the stage of fancied bravery, lies
down at last in the gutter like hog.

Triumph of Science.

Chemistry never achieved a more deci-
ded triumph than in the production of So
ZODONT, which is botanical preparation
of wondrous efficacy in preserving and beau
tifying the teeth, rescuing them from de-
cay, and rendering tbs m white as alabas-
ter. 1t is toilet luxury of which all
should avail themselves. The unpleasant
odor communicated to the breath by ca
tarrh, bad teeth, etc., is entirely obviated
by this fragrant and salutary antiseptic Of
which one bottle lasts q long time. Drug
2isss and parfumers sell it.

THE STRANGE AND INTERESTING HIsToRx
OF PAIR OF STOCKINGS.
When the bright Occidental star, Que
Elizabeth, passed away, she left in her war
robe, according to her hstoriographers, two
| thousand dresses. Chroniclers have au
mented the royal trousseau to as many
four thousand dresses, but it is possible
that the whole of her Majesty wearing az
parel was included in this vast casalogu
and that it comprised not only veritati3
gowns of velvet, silk, damask and taffety
and double-wheeled fardyngales, but liks-
wise mantles of vair, shapperoons or hooas,
! eschelles of ribbon, petticoats prenked
| with tissued panes, smocks wrought wi
thread of gold, fote mantle for riding
| horseback, and furred focklets. In any
case, the Queens maids of honor and IT,

Majesty were divided, or when, as is me
likely, they were appropriated on the pria
ciple of first come first served, without an
reference to equitable division at all. Tue
strangest of vicissitudes must have beer
undergone by these scattered paraphernala a

institution at Tanbridge Wells the peers
robes worn by his ancestor at the trial Of
Mary Queen of Scots, at Fotheringay. Some
of Queen Elizabeth's belongings passed
however, into safe hands, where they are Oh
religiously treasured as the shirt and double

cution and the naval uniform worn by N8l-
son at Trafalgar. Among the relics of the

Mistress Montagu, which, after few days
