The Devils Bridge.

A correspondent thus destroys the old legend of the Devils Bridge in the Pyrenees: 1.-The popular legend about this bridge, which spans mountain torrent called the Tech, near the small town of Ceret, was that it had been built during one night by Satan and his myrmidons, and the fact that the particulars as to its construction had never been found in any of the local archives gave additional strength to this legend. But the registrar of a neighboring town called Prats de Mollo, close to the Spanish frontier, has just unearthed manuscript, dated 1891, which relates how the notables of that town contributed ten golden crowns of Barcelon# toward the build ing of the bridge at Ceret upon condi- tion that the inhabitants of Prats de Mollo were exempted from paying toll. .'"-London Times.

dence of Wm Charteris, Lillian Char teris, April 5, 1e-, of heart disease " That was all. He had spent the rest of the years travelling. His mother had died suddenly, just after the close of hls college career. At last, weary of roaming, he had returned to his home unknown to all, just in time to attend the beautiful Easter service.
 The lesson was over The sweet voice was singing once more. Can 1t be possible two voices can be so much alike Roger could not resist glancing up at the singer. His cheek paled i; Those eyes That hair Can the grave give up her dead O. Father in Heaven have mercy. The service was over The people slowly wended their way home. Behind Roger, lady remarked, How nicely Lillian Charteris sang this morning, she seems -"
 Roger waited to hear nc more, but moved quickly to the stairs where he had so often waited for her before. He advanced to meet her as she descended the stairs. Lillian's blue eyes were filled with surprise and inquiry as the handsome man approached her the password, Gillian" spoken in Rogers old tender tone was enough for her inquiry.
 The start of joy the flush on the cheeks, and the glad light in the blue eyes spoke more welcome than the silvery voice, though that thrilled through all his being with the ecstasy of love and hope.
 Down the line of elms they went, as in the olden time, talking of the events that had occurred since Roger had been absent.
 At the gate they paused. Gillian" said Roger, his eyes shining with a new hope, and voice trembling with emotion, !" fifteen years ago told you I loved you, and asked you to be my wife. During all the long years that have separated us my heart has longed l and waited for your love. Lillian, my life, my all, do not send me away again desolate. Life is void without you. Hearts dearest, can you not give me a little hope, little love ?'
 The silent placing of her hand in his, and the quaver of the sweet lips was all the answer Roger needed. E.. .
 After they passed into the house, Lillian told of the failure of her father ] the day before that Easter morning of the death of her fathers maiden sister, after whom Lillian was named, and whose death Roger had read in the paper of the dying confession of her fathers partner, which relieved him of guilt, and of the retrieval of their fortune.
 Again Lillian sang Rejolce for Christ is risen," but now she sang as Mrs Roger Eastman, and her husband joined his tenor with her {" Rejoice for Chr st has risen, risen to-day"

LOVE AND CASH.

'Are the married most blest Is the single state best?" This question was late on the docket. The answer I'll tell,
 All should know it quite well, It depends on the state of your pocket. If of wealth each had store,
 No neighbor had more, And cash no more use than a locket,
 Then by e Bellamys" plan
 Love of woman and man Would not hinge on the state of the pocket Young man, if you'd wed
 Have plenty ahead, Or your bliss will go out as rocket, That depends my dear sir,
 Not on you nor her, But just on the size of your pocket. This love in cot,
 In slang, is all rot; For ,oa,a surely will step in to block it, And therefore Lsay, The only safe way Is to have plenty of cash in your pocket.
