An Interrupted Prayer.

Some seventy years ago, when
menagerie was almost thing un-
known, and n solitary wild beast was
now and then carried about the coun-
try for exhibition, says the Wide
Awake, a certain New England vile
lage was thrown into great connie
ton by the news that an elephant
was to be exhibited in a neighboring
town. The village which is the scene
OF my story was not large enough to
induce his exhibitors to make any
stay there, but his road lay through
it. Now an elephant could not he
packed away or in any manner be
kept out OF sight. His journey must
be made in full view, and everybody
could get look at him, and every
body was excited accordingly. Day
after day passed-no elephant. The
exhibition had been advertised for n
Monday, and Saturday night had
come. with no tidings of the famous
traveller. Sunday morning! The
'sound OF the church-going bell'' sum-
moned the people. Parson Adams
had begun ''the long prayer" and the
congregation stood, devoutly atten-
tive, to all appearance. But there
was at least one exception, for DR..
Dobson's pew, near an open window,
commanded a view of the highway,
md DIR. Dobson's eyes, wide open,
we're fixed upon the prospect. A
cloud of dust arose-then-slowly
above the hill opposite the window
the head OF the huge bea. came into
sight. The eager doctor forgot time
and place, and. shouting, "Tbe ele.
plants coming! there he isl he WINS
out of the window like a dart. on
rushed the congregation, and whether
PEARSON Adams finished his prayer
tradition has not told.

She Kept Her Vow.

A singular person has just died At
Oien, in Hungary. Fraulein Lima -
had not for thirty years gone outside
her house. The fraulein was tie
daughter of well-to-do parents.
Thirty years ago she was a pretty
girl, and was about to be- married.
Her lover one day, 'to test her obe-
dieuce and love-" desired her ON a
certain feast day not to go into the
streets. She promised she would not,
but did not keep her promise, and
went into the town. The next day
her lover came to see her and straight
way released her from her engage.
ment, saying that lady who could
not make so small a sacrifice was not
suitable to be his wife. Miss Lima,
by way of "castigation and exercise
devout," thereupon made a VOW that
never again during her lifetime would
she leave her house-and she kept
her word!-London Daily News.

AMONG THE DAISIES.

Lay her down among the dasies
With the fring"s on her eyes,
Softer than their silver petals,
Closed or blissiul reveries.
Fold her little hands in Wilderness
AS in prayer uron her breast;
Fear not for their folded lightness
On the heart unmoving pressed.
For that heart of angel brightness.
Tired so early. lies at rest.
Tired SO early,-when the dawning
Glmmered white winged through the room
And the skies were half awakening,
Half in fading starlit gloom,
From the heaven OF the st arlght
Came the angels OF the dawn:
And the morniAgs winds are signing,
And the curtain eastward drawn,
And her sleeping face looked brighter,
And a whispering sob said-"Gone,'
All the daisies were unfolding
In the fields where nevermore
Shall the rapture OF her child life
Run in and shout and laughter o er.
Tired so earlv.-she has gathered
All her gadness in swift space,
She has sung her song and ended.
Child ike turning pleading face
BacS to home where JOYS are weary
Toward the one familiar place.
Lay hor low among the daisies:
Angels know her more than we;
They have led her home from wandering,
Tired with earthly revelry,
And above her dased pillow
Let her simple tale he told;
Here the lover OF the lilies
Bade II little blossom told;
We that wakes the flowers shall wake her,
White as snow with heart OF gold.

The next morning Susan informed
her aunt Mrs. Gladstone, that she
and Harry Joy were to be married
ut the expiration of II month, and
preparations for the approaching

Everything was in readiness when
the time arrived, and a very costly

But during that five years great
change had come over the fortunes
OF Ar, hur Floyd.
His father had died leaving him in

For while things seemed to go on

though prudent people observed
that he was becoming daily more
fond of the wine cup and the disre-
putable company of fast men and
professional gamblers. He left his
business go at loose ends. trusting
to the integrity of the statesmen he
employed, and they robbed him. He

Then, noticing Hugh more closely,
she asked kindly:
