A FLOWER OF DEATH.

DEAR FRIEND MAEsoN-You have doubtless
heard of my fathers death and the terrible
murder Of my brother. My father left rather
peculiar viii, and the sickness and death of his
legal adviser still leaves affairs IN an unsettled
condition. If you will come to Upington and
see that things are Strengthened out, as they
should be, will make It well worth your time
Yours, as ofold, CLAUDE MORTIMER.
This note was received soon after nv
graduation from college by me, Frederick
Manson, struggling lawyer, from my old
college chum, Mortimer
A few months after launching myself upon
a legal career 1 had picked up a newspaper
one day to see an account of the death OF
Enos Mortimer, who had been one Of the
prominent men Of the state. Not more than
three weeks after reading of the death of NV
old friends father, came across, in the same
newspaper, an account of a mysterious muir.
der. l was startled and Mortified when ]
read the name of the murdered man. It was
Victor Mortimer, Claude's brother The Der.
son who committed the deed was unknown.
In response to the note went.
There were tears in Claude's ewes when he
took my hand, and his voice shook as he
said;
81 am glad to see you, Manson, but sorry
that our meeting is at time so fraught with
sorrow to mel
He looked twenty years older than when
saw him last. Dissipation had left its marks
on his handsome face, and there was very
perceptible sprinkling of white in his hair.
Under the hand Of affection, the old Jolly
light had died out Of his eyes, which to me
seemed to be strangely aversive and restless.
That evening as we sat in Claude's favoEite
room he told me the story Of the murder.

sion at the time that he fell the victim Of an
assassin. Claude had been with him that day,
but had ridden away late in the afternoon
and had put up for the night at a small vii
lage, twelve miles away In the morning he
had continued on his journey, to be recalled
by message stating that his brother had
been murdered.
He came back and found Victor dead, hav

A SONG OF KILLARNEY.

By the Lakes Of Killarney, one morning In May
On my pipe Of green holly warbled away,
While blaekbird, high up on the arbutus tree.
Gave back my gay music with gushes Of glee,
When my Eileen's voice stole
From the thicket Of holly.
And turned just the whole
OF our iHting TO folly.
And softly along
Through the myrtle and heather
The maid and her song
Swept upon US together.
Twas an old Irish tale, full Of passionate trust,
OF two faithful lovers long laid In the dust,
Apd her eyes, as shesang, looked so far far away,
She went by me. nor knew she went by where
lay.
And myself and the grass,
And the deeshy red daisies
Should let our dear pass,
Only whispering her praises,
Till the lass and her lay
Through the myrtle and heather
Like dream died away
O'er the mountain together.
