was requested to step out. She did so,
and there in the street, before the
house, was an elegant truck with two
enormous horses. and on the truck in
an attitude of triumph, stood Samuel,
holding the reins.
''Mine!' he said. ''Mine! Ha! ha!
ha! will be around tonight and take
you to my sisters, where we will be
married. Miner'
In delirium of Joy, Hannah made
her preparations. If the kitchen was
not run on quite as good prin-
ciples as usual it was due entirely to
the fact that the girls mind was in a
chaotic condition. To be the wife of a
man who owned such truck and such
a pair of horses, was enough to upset
the mind of any well regulated cook in
Christendom.
That night at the humble dwelling of
Samuel's sister, they were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony. For the
immediate present it was agreed that
Hannah should retain her place, at
least until Samuel could make arrange
ments for an establishment on top OF a
tenement house, of their own.
Two days passed, Samuel spending the
evenings with his wife in the comfort
able kitchen 1t was happiness for
him to sit on her knee. with love in his
heart and corned-beef sandwich in
his hand. He wished that it might be
always thus, for his cup of happiness
was full
"Sar ", MY dear. 'ow is bisnis?"
A c1oud passed over SamuePs brow,
and the mouthful of sandwich almost
strangled him.
"Hannah, darlin', forgive me. 1t
was love as did it! Love for you, dear,
love for yon!'
"Did what, Sammy?"
Hannah, you must know it some
time, and you may AS well know it
now. | a'int got no tyuck?"
mo truck?"
Mary truck nor nary hoss. That
establishment l borrowed for effect.
But it was love that did it, and then |
said to myself she viii forgive me, and
she will let me take her thousand dol
lars out of the savings bank, and l will
get a truck, and we will be happy
YETI
A subdued sigh, relaxation of
limb, and there was hundred and
eighty pounds of girl fainting on the
floor. Samuel dashed water in her
face, and she slowly revived.
Samuel. we are miserable people.
You ave no truck-I ave no thousand
dOllars-I 'aven't cent?"
At first he was indignant at being
deceived as to her financial condition,
and then she was indignant at his de-
ception in the matter of the truck.
There was some hair on the floor, and
Samuel stood for some minutes over
the kitchen sink stopping the flow Of
blood from his nose; but finally, after
passion had subsidized and the situation
was fully and fairly considered. they
made it up and renewed their vows of
eternal love and cOnstancy.
The pair are rubbing along as best
as they can. Mrs. Strawn, under her
maiden name, is still cook, and Samuel
is still working for his old employers.
But they have quit the vanities OF this
life-Samuel beer, and Hannah rib
bons-and they hope to save enough to
produce at least a one-horse truck.
There is no especial moral to this,
for there is no catastrophe. 1t is
probably better for them that they have
to shift, with nothing to begin with:
for when they have earned and saved
a fortune they will appreciate ito

GABLEGRAMS

DISPATCHES from Cronstadt state
that the Russian fleet there has been
ordered to prepare for war instantly,
and that thirty-twO Russian men-Of-war
have hoisted their flags and put TO sea.
THE Amcer, owing to the opposition
Of his subjects, is reluctant to allow
British troops to enter AfghanistaB,
which is feared, would cause q rebellion,
the Ameer being unpopular. The Amer
is willing to cede Peuideh TO Russia in
return for hrr evacuation of the Zuli6-
ear passes which commands the road to
Herat. A difficulty arises from the re-
fusal of the Russian war party to con-
sent TO withdrawal from. Zulticar. 1t
is believed that NJ. De Gier5 party is iu-
clined to support this policy, believing
that the English are inclined to give
way.
THE situation of the Russian-Afghan
question has again become very serious.
owing to Russia increasing her demands
to such an extent that it will be impos-

MEETING OF LAND OWNERS.

LONDON, April PA great meeting
of rich and influential land owners
was held in this city to-day, and was
attended by such persons as the Duke
of Argyle. the Earl of Carnarvon
and the Marquis of Ripon. Ii was
resolved to take steps for the inInedi-
ate formation of large corporation
to be called the National Land Com
pany" for the purpose of securing
gradual breaking up of the large par
eel system of land ownership
now injuriously prevalent in Great
Britain. The present plan of the
new organization is to buy land at
wholesale and sell it outin lots not to
exceed 40 acres, under conditions
likely to cause further subdivision
and prevent aggregation of title. The
company will in all likelihood 6uy
for cash and sell on deferred pay
ments covering at least 10 years.

of mission, either to Insist upon or
prevent the promulgation of some

sorae years since, seeing the vicar Of
a large London parish officiating for
several Sundays under the protection
of the police. One of these crazy en-.
thusiasts had taken it into his head
that he was to prevent some part Of
the service being performed, and had
chosen that particular church as the
field of his operations. His threats
against the vicar were sufficiently
vehement as to cause it to be deemed
advisable, pending measures for3some
restraint being placed upon the man,
that q policeman in plain clothes
should be on duty in the chancel dur,
ing the services. The possibility that
the church might become at any mo-
ment the scene of a sudden struggle
between a stalwart policeman and an
excited lunatic could not be held one
likely to aid a calm devotional spirit
on the part of either the vicar or those
of the congregation who were aware
OF the circumstances.

SCOTTISH CLERICAL LIFE.
Some eft Gie AnnOyances so which
Ministers are Subjected In the
sRraV Land.@
Scotch REVIEW


A not uncommon and perhaps little
suspected cause of clerical worry and
annoyance, sometimes even of peril,
hes in the vagaries of people who are
mentally unsound. Religious mania
is very frequent form of such un-
seundness, and this often leads to the
clergy being objects of attention far
more marked than agreeable. Ex-
travagant devotion of, seme special
clergyman, is very common. The
former once IN our own experience,
gave rise to what, considering all the
accidental circumstances and sur
roundings, was probably the most
ludicrous Fscene ever witnessed in a
church. In a city boasting the pos
session of one OF the finest cathedl ais
in England there lived spinster lady
somewhat weak in intellect, one whose
state, however, did not render any
further supervision necessary than the
constant attendance of trustworthy
companion. The rector of the parish
in which she lived was the object of
her most ardent devotion. To her
great despair he resigned his living
and went abroad Some few years
later, on returning TO England, he
happened to be in the leighborhOod,
and having been intimately acquaint-
eG with many of the chapter, he went
one afternoon to the cathedral in
order to see some OF them. Thesser~
vice was Just over, and he was stand
ing in the nave, to which there were
always many visitors in the after
noon, waiting to greet Lis old friends
when they should have dlsrobed.
Just at the moment when choristers
and clergy were coming in procession
down the nave, the poor little woman
entered at the west door. She instant
ly espied her former rector, and be-
fore her companion could interfere,
rushed toward him. She was extreme
ly small he q very tall man. Fearing
that in her excitement her greeting
would be rather more noisy than was
saemly under the circumstances, he
bent down, as she drew near, to speak
to her in a whisper, Rash man In
q moment she clasped him round the
neck with both arms and bestowed
upon him a painfully audible apostolic
salutadon. The magnificent cathedral
nave echoed to strange sounds that
afternoon. Not even the portentous
solemnity of cathedral verger, in
the Very presence Of the cannons in
residence, was proof against the trial /;
and the white-rpbed procession dis
appeared from the sacred precincts
with most indecorous rapidity. The
victim of tins astounding reception, a
man possessed OF remarkable power
