Various Incidents from the Life Of Noted
Divine.
When the Rev. Mark Guy Pearse was
about fourteen years old, having been
in school in Germany, he came to
London on his way to the beautiful
wRds of Cornwall" his home. He
said in London long enough to spend
all his fare, except sufficient to pay his
fare home. He travelled by train to
Bristol-the rail only went as far then.
He went on board the vessel to carry
him home, and thought, when he had
paid the money for his passage, that
thatincluded all. He was very hungry,
and ordered his meals that day.
At the end of the journey dapper
little steward, with gold band around
his cap, came to him and presented
him his bill. He told him he had
no money. Them" said he, "you
should not have ordered the things you
did" He asked him his name. He
told him. He took him by the hand.
shut up his book, and said: 81 never
thought that should live to see YOU"
Then he told him how, when he had
lost his father, his mother was in great
distress, and the lads father had been
so kind to her that he made a solemn
promise that if he ever had the oppor-
tunity, he would show kindness to one
of his; so he took charge of him, paid
his bin, gave him five shillings, and
put him into boat with some sailors,
who rowed him in fine style to the
shore. His father met him, and he
said:
Father, it is a good thing to have a
good father" and he told him of what
had taken place.
"My lad" said he, II passed the
kindness ON to him long ago, in doing
what 1 did, and now he has passed it
on to you. Mind, as you grow up you
pass it on to others"
Well, one day he was going by train,
and intended to take a first-class ticket,
as he had a deal of writing to do in the
train, when he saw lad at the third
class ticket-ollice rubbing his eyes to
keep down the tears. He asked him
what his trouble was, and the lad told
him he had not enough money for his
fare by four pence, and he wanted SO
to go, as his friends were expecting
him. He gave him a shilling, and the
lad went, got his ticket and brought
him the change. He told him to keep
it, and said he was going to ride with
him. Then in the carriage he told the
lad the story of how he was treated in
the boat.
"And now" he said, II want you. if
ever you have the opportunity, to pass
it on to Others" He got out at the
junction, and as the train left the sta:
ton, the lad waved his handkerchief
and said, 81 will pass it on."-OidJon-

Decreasing in New Hampshire.

The Forest Commission appointed
four years ago by the State of New
Hampshire say in recent report that
the annual value of the crude products
of the forests of that State is about five
million dollars, which is about half
that of the principal crops of the State.
Decreasing has, according to local
testimony collected by the Commits
sion, much diminished the water power
during the summer months, and the
report considers that the effect of the
denudation of the White Mountains
upon manufactures and other great
public interests will be as serious as
that of the Adirondacks. Considering
that Holyoke, Manchester, Nashua,
Lowell, Lawrence and many other
great industrial towns depend upon
Hampshire for water power, this seems
probable.-N Y Post.

turned out TO be true, she could not re-
turn to England. As it happened, L
was sent to America myself, and in a
month discovered DIR. Hassard and his
good-looking wife living and prosper
GUS in Boston. The old chemist, al
though prosperous as far as wealth
was concerned, was on his death-bed,
and Judge, at his own request, was
called in to take his dying deposition,
and this not only exculpated his wife,
but confessed the cruel pressure put
upon DR.. C. by him to accomplish
the fraud.
Mrs Hassard came to England with
me and inherited the money, out Of
which she paid the insurance companies
principal and interest for all the money
they had been swindled out of.
After several remands st. John Mars.
den and DR.. C. were committed,
and at their trial were found guilty and
got off with light punishment, consid-
ering the gravity of their crimes.
George Saumarez afterward married
Emily Marsden, and danced at their
wedding. His cousins were cared for,
and in course of time everybody con-
cerned seemed tacitly agreed to forget
all about Old Hassard's daring crime.
may add that when ST. John Mars
den came out of prison he was changed
man, and young Saumarez generously
forgave him. DR.. c. fell a victim
to his folly, having died in the jail in

GRAVEYARD ROMANCE.
In Which the Guilty Are Punished
and the Innocent Rejoice.

Comfortably seated at breakfast one
Sunday morning, after long and ar
duous weeks work, l heard my wife
say:
'|rhe young gentleman at Mrs, Mar
tins was brutally assaulted last
night"
There was nothing remarkable about
that, and, of course, it was no business
of NINE. knew the lad by sight, and
supposed that he had little income,
since he did no work and spent most of
his time in billiard rooms, theaters or
music halls.
"He has been tight and cheeky, /
suppose" was all that said.
just then my eldest girl came to say
that "Mr. Summers would esteem it a
favor" if would visit him for short
time.
. answered promptly that would be
with him in quarter of an hour, but |
could not understand how he came to
know me. Mrs. Martin undoubtedly
was an old acquaintance of my wife,
but she always thought that [ was
something in the city," as did most
people in the ncighborhood.
He was a tall, good-looking young
fellow of about twenty-seven years.
He was up, dressed in manner and
the doctor had been and dressed his in
juries.
His brow had been cruelty cut by
blows of a lifc-preserver, he thought,
imperfectly warded off by his UNI
brella.
He had been attacked the previous
night near the Deaf and Dumb Institute
by the obclisk. He had also been at
tackled on two previous occasions, both
being on Saturday nights. 1t was clear
to me that the young fellow had been
Systematically followed, logged and
that Saturday night was always chosen,
because on such night fatal ending
would more easily be accounted for by
ga drunken brawl."
"Mr. Summers" / said, "as a neigh
Dor, what can do for youP"
"Ah!" he exclaimed, smiling. ''It is
evident you don't know me, and yet
know you. Ny name isn't Summers,
but Saumarez."
This was revelation to me.
you were the little lad, then"
said, .who was ready to swear tina
you gave two-pound loaf to beggal
woman, although you knew that She
stole it, and l knew that she stole it
when your father, who was a baker il
Portman Place, wanted to give her int
my custody"
you've hit it."
WASN'T likely to forget the name o
Saumarez, as it was emblazoned at on,
time in great letters of gold on broat
blue signboard, for every one to com
and look at who patronized Portmal
market.

mother, was a fine, handsome womsn

THE BROTHERS PROMISE.

In dark and dreary garret,
ger dirty London sum,
Nnere the blessed light of Heaven
ANA the sunshine seldom come,
AL amidst this want and squalor-
This abode OF sin and care
Lay little city arab;
Breathing out his small life there
AL alone save one-his sister
younger still than he, who tried,
AL in vain, TO drive the anguish
From his aching back and side.
sui she bent DER him, caressing;
And the while, in accents mild,
With faint and feeble utterance,
SLOWLY spoke the dying child
II am dying, sister Nellie;
And when am cold and dead,
snail be ut rest in Heaven.
AS the clergyman has said.
But you IL come some day. my sister
There is room for me and you;
III would not be Heaven, Nellie,
II you did not come there too.
"And If father comes tomorrow
When he secs me lying dead,
He II know, then, that / am not shamminR,
AS, you know, he always said.
Don't you be afraid he'll beat you
When he comes tomorrow morn;
feel sure he will be kinder,
Nell. he looks so dull and worn.
I'VE have been good friends, my sister,
In our short LIES pain and woe;
Though we've braved it both together,
You must stay while must go.
/ am not afraid of dying,
To be freed from all this pain,
But wish for your sake, Nellie,
Twas well and strong again.
Don't cry So my darling sister;
Though I'm going far away,
i shall be shining angel
In land OF endless day;
And I'll always watch you, Nellie,
From my place in Heaven above
will ask dear God TO let me,
And know He is all love.
$50, when l am up in Heaven,
In that place so fair to see,
i will look down, dear. upon you,
Though i know you won't see me;
And when all is hushed and silent,
And the stars CLEAN in the sky,
You will know I'm looking, Nellie,
And be glad, and will not cry"
In damp and dismal graveyard,
Where the bones of paupers lie,
Midst crowd of gaping oilers,
Passed little funeral by.
But the only one who sorrowed,
Only mouInGr OF them all,
Was little ragged maiden.
Sobbing DER collin small.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

Six sturdy lads lay curled up in their beds
When the Birth Of Freedom had faded to
night. e..
With burns on their finger. and pains IL
their heads,
And SCARED like the heroes Of many hght
But, strange TO relate, rs all sleepless they
lay,
Though ten from The steeple had chimel
loud and clear,
They sighed: What perfectly glorious day
Too bad it can only come once in the year
The six patient mothers, who loved the sl'
boys,
We're resting a, last, now the daylight wa
done
For. with the wild racket, and riot. md noise
No peace had been theirs since dawn OF The
sun
And they sighed, as they said in the wear
lest way
land full cause they had for their feelings
fear):
"This has been such terrible. eaf-splitine
day -,
How lucky it only comes once in the year
