MODERN CHRONICLES.
The Defaulting Bank Cashier Abroa

And in those days there was tumuIt
in the temple where dwelleth the chang
ers of money.
The doors thereof were closed and the
officers therein were sore in spirit and
sadly vexed.
Tho portal of the vault yielded not to
the Establishments of time, and the
prayers of the populace did not swing it
ajar.
And they cried aloud in their grief,
saying: Behold we sent our gold here
for safety in vain. We have instead of
security an sepulchre."
THE tomb of our wealth hath been
sealed, and the seal thereof breaketh
not at the touch of the wizard, for hath
not the wizard gone away without
breaking the seal?"
And when the ninth hour was come
many there were about the temple, but
none worshi2ped nor yet did any give
thanks unto the Lord; but they did NUT
ter curses upon him that feeth.
And the governor of the temple came
forth and stood before the people, and as
he stood among men, he lifted up his
voice and wept; saying unto them that
waited good words of cheer and promise.
"The sepulchre refuseth TO give up its
dead, but We have sent messenger into
the city to bring one who knoweth the
cause thereof and when he is come
among us, the tomb will open and the
grave will give up its yellow dead"
And the people having heard, were
not content with the promises he made,
and they did clamor for him into whose
bands they had given their gold and sil.
yer and script, but the ruler of the tenn
pie shook his head in sadness and de-
MED them. saying:
Woe, woe is me, for he whom We seek
hath gone the way. He tarrieth not
among our people, neither doth he give
cheer unto our sad hearts. He hath
taken unto himself his Doodle and whack-
eth not up, but f1peth from the wrath
that is and the wrath to come"

Scent of the burning boots In bonfires In the

At the empty cans
Flung into my yard by the neIghboring clans,
Old bones
And stones,
Which nobody owns;
And scraps of tin,
And shattered barrels with heads cayed in,
And cast-on garments, vile as sin,
These line my path with nameess fear
Things you can see with your nose; loud
smells that you can hear;
Right on this mundane sphere.

Glove Sees No Eaulf.O

it has been said; but, when a woman is
dragged down, emaciated, wan, and a
shadow of her former self, with never a
cheerful word, she can be no longer
beautiful or lovable. Nature may have
been generous in her gifts, and endowed
her with all the charms of her sex, but
disease has crept in unawares and stolen
the roses from her cheeks, the lustre
from her eye, and the sunshine from her
heart. But to be well again lies in your
own power. Take Or. Pierce's "Faver-
