We stand on the threshold of
time, bet ween two sternIties-the
pas: and the future. Tho past has
gone forever; the future Is all un-
certain. Only the present moment
can we call our own. And even
ssbile we thiuk Ne hold that so
firmly in our grasp, it ''folds its
tents like the Arabs. and as silently
steals away" Thus time is rushing
us on, and in vain we call for
halt. "On, still on. he presses, and
forever" The moments have length
ened into days, weeks and months.
until almost unconsciouly we stand
amid the closing scenes and look

One of the most nleasant melof

One of the most pleasant melodies
we have heard for some time was the
Easter carol Birds are Singing" as
sung by the children of Trinity SUM-
day school last Sunday evening, at
their church. The musical accom-
paniment on the organ by Miss Moore
was fine. The occasion was the usual
Easter song service by the school
children, the program being as follows:
Carol Jubilate versicles, confession,
Lords prayer, lesson carols Resur-
rection Story and Easter morning |,
apostles creed, collect carol Christ
our Lord is Risen to-day; address !;
carols Birds are Singing and Easter
song. The various class offerings
amounted to 1856. The carols we're
sung by the children In a manner that
reflects great credit on them and their
teacher. To us there is nothing so
attractive as the sweet, clear voices of
children sending forth their harmoni-
Gus sounds, There is q magic about
it that touches the listeners mind with
thoughts of days gone by. Their
voices are clear, and full of jcyousness
and harmony, because the cares and
troubles of life have not yet laid heavy
burdens on their minds, and thus
their songs are full of gladness.

About four o'clock Sunday MORN
ing girl who is in the employ of r.
Bartlett, on Chisholm street, was
awakened by a burglar who had en-
tered her room. The burglar when
he found she was awake undertook
to silence her, and during the strug-
gle she seized one of the burglars FIN
gers and bit it severely. This mode
of defense seemed to startle the villain,
and the girl taking advantage of bis
confusion, let 60 the finger and
screamed for assistance. The burglar
grabbed the girl by the throat, cuffed
her some on the head, choked her a
little, and threatened her with VIC.
lence if she did not cease making an
alarm. The girls screams aroused
the other persons who were in the
house and they soon rushed to her as
sistance. The burglar finding that
the inmates of the house we're arous.
ed, beat hasty retreat and managed
to escape. He succeeded In stealing a
small sum of money that was in the
girls dress. She describes him as a
tall man with a sandy mustache, and
believes she would know him again il
she should see him. We hope the
villain will be apprehepded.
