THE VICTIM
OF HIS
CLIO HES,
By Howard Fielding and Frederick n. Burton.
COPYRIGHT. 1880. ]


His eyes were fixed at the moment
upon C. rent in his trousers which ad'
mitted small detachment OF cool,
morning breeze fresh from the sea.
The smile on his face gave way to an ex-
preston of disgust, and he sat up in
sudden irritation. This movement
caused sharp pain to shoot across his
back, which reminded him that the way
OF the transgressor is hard.
And then the full, delightful, cussed-
ness of the situation dawned upon him.
What should he do? What could he do?
He sat up again and looked hopeless
ly about. Upon bench not fifteen
PAGES away was q young woman,
evidently servant of some kind, for her
dress was of plain material, set of with
big white cuffs at tho sleeves, and such
a frill of lace at the neck as only
ladies' maids VICAR. Her face was con-
.cealed by kerchief which she hold to
her eyes. and which Mr.. Drane doubted
not was in o process Of lachrymose
.drenching. He watched her with
lanRulu lnJcTCobt hOhNOAAh6 oN"PN~AJ
what brought her there at such an
hour, whether she had been locked out
and feared q reprimand or discharge
when she should go home, whether,
perhaps. she, too, had INDUCED too free
" in-bah! Mr.. Drane recoiled in pro-
found horror ut the suggestion. Was
it possible that mere accidental
change in circumstances, the nero &C.
,coutrcments Of the slums, should make
him capable of entertaining for an in
slant such a thought about a woman?
Was a man to be the victim OF his gar
ments? .
In silent PREPARATION for his unuttered
.offense Mr.. Drane began vigorously TO
think all manner of pretty things about
the unhappy young woman, insisting to
himself that she must be beautiful, In
nocent, injured, lovely and soon, until
presently, his adiectives having been
three times exhausted, he had worked

THE ROSE IN THE BOOK.


Loi pressed here In Gods sacred book,
Behold tho fragments OF q fiow'r
That once beside Judnan brook
Lived out Its cvnnescent hour.
No longer In tho dews OF night
II glitters like diadcm;
No more the holy morning light
Falls on tho rose q Bethlehem.
The faded leaves recall ON age
Beloved to-day thousand.fold.
And have pressed II on the pnge
That breathcs the wondcrtale OF old
Upon II, like q sunbeam lies
A bcnediction oil Divine,
And from its crushed heart seem 70 rise
The odors sweet OF Palestine.
Methinks hear the dulcet flow
on Kcdron thro' its restful glade;
And where my rosc smiled, long ago,
The angcl.guarded Saviour play'd
There fell not DER his youthful bliss
The shadow Of the soon.to-be:
No thoughts Of Calvary wero his.
No vision OF Gcthsemane.
Thus In the bible have kept
The rose that seldom secs the sun;
II grew near where the Master wept,
And bloomed where Kcdron's waters run
And ns the old vninglorious Kings
Held dear tho crowns most precious gem
So will prize tho rose that brings
Sweet memories from Bethlehem.
