Mozart composed music for the occasion,

Of " The Last Judgment, which Michael
Angelo had painted three hundred years
before, he heard the wonderful music Of
The Miserere." This is only performed
in Holy Week by the Pope's choir, and

On Picket DUTY.

At the supper table Mrs. Bertram
asked:
Rob, did you do that errand at Glea-
SON ?"
ooh, mamma, I'm awful sorry. The
boys wanted me to play ball, and 1
thought Id go there when we came home,
and then forgot it."
"Did you go to the post-office?" asked
his father
Rob's face showed plainly that he had
forgotten that, too.

old enough to remember few things"

old story that little comment was made.

II don't think you would have made a

"Now, mother, why not ?" asked Rob,
quite indignant that his patriotism should
be thus assailed.
II doubt whether you would have be-
lieved in danger you couldn't see, and
SO you would have laid down your gun
and been at the mercy of the lurking
foe."

to do that"
Mrs. Bertram smiled.
Did you ever see me do anything so
silly ?"

Rob only looked his incredulity.

o giver of beautiful gifts What cheer.
What JOY, dOst thou bring with thee p
MY seasons four shall bring
Their treasures the Winters SHOWS.
The Autumn's store and the flowers of Spring
And the Summers perfect rose.

Dear Child but the last and best
Thyself must earn by a strife divine,
If thou wouldst be truly blest.
" Wouldst know this last, best gift
It's a conscience clear and bright
A peace of mind which the soul can lift
To an infinite delight.

If thou INTO me canst bring
