"6he must be well and m her own COW

up the stairs 70 the room where she had
passed many happy hours with her fair
cousin.
A tiny rap ON the door was answered by
"coms in" from beyond, m q low voice.
Scarcely had Lura Joyce crossed the
threshold Of the room than she came TO q
halt and stood regarding the low couch,
with its wealth Of covering, In amazement.
Atthe bedside sat the colored maid Lucy.

Could it be possible that this was Grace
Penroy, whom she had left but three weeks
since almost restored to healthl
After moment OF hesitancy Lura ad-
vanced swiftly and stood by the bedside,
gazing into the corpse-like countenance on
the pillow. 1t was Grace, surely, but oh,
how changed To Lura it seemed that
harsh touch or breath OF air would break
the brittle thread OF life.

"Will you give him to me? I'd like
to take him somewhere" said the lin
nit.
So the beetle dropped Tommy, who
was now quite sore, and the limit lift
ed him in its beak.
Dreams are very funny things.
The limit seemed to be suddenly in
the room of house, and Tommy saw
it was his own bedroom.
Whats the matter?" squeaked a
funny voice. 1t was Tommy's white
mouse speaking; for Tommy kept a
white mouse.
"Why," said the linnit,-and it
seemed quite friendly with the white
mouse-"I've caught a boy. What
shall I do with him?"
ga boy? let me look, said the white
mouse, and added fiercely. "Why
it's TommyW
"Yes, please Mr.. Mouse" said Tom
my, "it's me. You know me, don't
you ?"
Tommy was afraid of the white
mouse, it seemed.
"Know you!n screamed the mouse
"I've good reason to know you! Yes;
and now I'll make you know me-"
"Please, Mr.. Mouse" began Tommy
but the white mouse interrupted him ::
"Know you? You're the boy that
fastened me in q cage without any
food, and I was hungry. Worse,
worse! T was thirsty and all my wa
ter had dried up. My cage has been
left unclean for weeks. Know you:
Yes; and now you shall know me-"
The white mouse rushed fiercely at
Tommy.
But suddenly Tommy awoke; and
he was lying in bed, and of his natu-
raj size.
"Dear me-" he murmured, "what an
awful dream I've had! I declare, I'll
never hurt anything ever again. And
when I get up I'll feed my white
mouse. forgot him yesterday"
For Tommy had been so full Of the
treat the day before that the white
mouse had been neglected. In fact,
Tommy had often neglected it.
Then he dressed, and went to the
cage to attend to the little creature.
But the little mouse was dead.
"Oh. DEAR" cried Tommy, II must
have forgotten it for two days! I'll
never be so cruel again to anything
And he kept his word.

The Model Debtor.

He will not deny his Indebtedness or
try to avoid the payment of it. If he
cannot pay what he owes on book ac-
count, he will give his note, and if he
cannot take up the note at maturity,
he will confess judgment, that his
creditor may have all the security pos
sible. But while acknowledging, he
will also try to pay. He will pay in
instalments if he cannot do any better.
He will keep on trying to reduce the
debt until it is fully cancelled. In
these days of reputation and of easy
bankruptcy, a model debtor is rare
and interesting study.

ROmanists Destroying Bibles.
A QUEBEC PRIEST PUBLICLY BURNS
HUNDREDS BELONGING TO HIS
PARISHIONERS.

OTTAWA, Nov ia gentleman
who has just returned from visiting the
province of Quebec says that in one
parish after mass on Sunday morning
lie saw several hundred Bibles publicly
burned on the square in front of the
church at the instance Of the cure of
the parish, who had collected them
from his parishioners. Agents from
one of the Bible societies have been
selling large numbers of the New Tes-
lament in this particular part of the
province, and after warming his con-
gregation against purchasing, the cure
went from house to house collecting
from those of his flock who had DISC
beyed his orders the books they pur-
chased. The Bible Society has now
devised scheme by which they in
tend bringing the priest before the
courts if he attemps to repeat his sac
rilegious work. The agents of the so
ciety will loan the Bibles to those de-
string them, writing within its covers,
,"the property of''-the name of the
agent or society being filled in, who
will then be IN position to prosecute
should the books be destroyed or taken
from the holder.
All that was lacking to give the full
text of Romanism was an instalment
of heretics to roast in the blaze from
the burning Bibles. If Romanlsts
should ever get the power in this coun-
try to do as they please in religious and
civil matters, they will burn "heretlcs'
as readily and religiously as that pious
"cure" burned the Bibles of the poor
ignorant dupes of treacherous priest
hood.
Let it be remembered that this "cure'
belongs to the same intolerant sect
which calls itself "the church" and
which was recently SO glorifled at
Baltimore by certain dignitaries OF
Romanism. Persons of intelligence
who are acquainted with the duplicity
of Romish propagandism know what
little faith should be put in the pro-
fessed admiration of American free
dom the Jesuitical devotees of Rom
anism. What have the Pope and his
priests to say about that burning of
Bibles.

Let the weakest, let the humblest re-
member that in his daily course he
can, if he will, shed around him al
most heaven. Kindly words, SYM
pathizing attentions, watchfulness
against wounding mems sensitiveness
these cost very little but are price
less in their value.-Are they not al
most the staple of our daily happiness :
From hour to hour, every moment, we
are supported, blest, by small kind
nesses.

Andr>w Young, author of the hymn
"There Is Happy Land, Far, Far
Away" is eighty years of age and still
vigorous. In 1888 he heard an old In

and he composed these words to it
so popular that it has been transla-
ted into nineteen languages.

Great excitement prevails in Wes-
tern North Carolina on account of the
heavy gold find in Montgomery Coun-

solid gold as to make no pretense of
weighing it except on large grocer's
scales. A mining expert sent to ex-
anime into the matter confirms the
widest stories that have been told.

A certain well-known New Yorker,
who has to hustle for his bread and mo-
lasses, this summer fell in love with a
girl, and ever since August has been on
the eve of proposing TO her. His income
is t2, 500 q year, but he wanted to be
certain that he could pay all the expen-
ses before rushing into the fray. He es-
timatea that the rent and running ex-
peDses of suburban residence would
cost $500 year. He allowed $3.50 q
year for his personal expenses, and
thought that the girl could get along on 3
like sum. To besure be didn't expect to
save any money while living at this rate;
but like other young men he had abound
ing faith in a special providence which
would cause long forgotten uncle or
other relation to die some time and leave
him fortune. So he asked an ultimate
friend Of bis lady-love how much the
latter spent for her wardrobe during the
year. The friend said: why, she told
me only the day before yesterday that
her clothes cost 81 800 year, but she did
think she could get along on 81, ,50O."
The engagement has not been announc-
d. New York sun.

Fighting for Love.

WLKEsBARRR, Nov. 10.-A desperate
list fight took place at q sesloded spot
near No. colliery Of the Delaware and
hudson Goal Company at Plymouth
yesterday afternoon. The principals
were Elmer Gross and Frank Anderson.
for some time they have been rivals for
the hand OF the same girl, and as she did
not show any marked preference they
decided TO settle the matter themselves.
They selected Wm. O'Brien, of Ply
mouth, as referee. J. 4. Power acted az
second fer Gross and Ed. heifernan for
Anderson. A twenty four foot ring was
staked ont and the battle began at 4 p.
NJ, in the presence Of about fifty specta-
tQrs.
Both arc powerful aud vigorous men.
Gross stands near six feat high and
weighs 1856 pounds. His opponent was
but little less. For the first four rounds
Anderson seemed 10 have the best OF It,
He showed more skin aud activity and
pressed Gross hard. In the third round
he landed terrific blow on Gross eye,
that knocked him clean of his feet and
cloled the eye.
In the fifth round Anderson began to
play out, while Gross, though badly
punished, seemed strong and fresh as at
first. In the sixth and seventh rounds
their positions were reversed. Gross
forced the fighting aud drove Anderson
around the ring, pouring In torrent OF
s.edRe-hammer blows. Finally he got In
q smashing blow on the Jaw, laying open
Anderson's cheek and knocking oui
several Of his teeth. Anderson went
down as II he had been shot, and could
not stand up when time was called.
The referee gave the fight TO Gross, and
Anderson, 10 the presence Of the wit
nesses, renounced all claim to the hant
OF the maiden for whose favor he bat
fought.
