feeble to work much and he could no

had done for so many years.

THE DYING wlFs.s FAREWELL.

Raise my pillow, husband. dearest,
Faint and fainter comes my breath,
And these shadows stealing slowly
Must, I know, DO those OF death.
Sit down close beside me, darling.
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustained me
To tho borders OF this land.
For your God and mine, our Father,
Thence shall ever lead me on,
Where upon throne eternal

I've had visions and been dreaming
Ger the past, OF JOY and pain;
Year by year wandered backward,
TIL was child again.
Dreams OF girlhood. and the moment
When stood your wife and bride,
How my heart filled with loves triumph
In the hour OF woman's pride.
Dreams OF thee aud Gil the earth cords
Firmly twined about my heart
Oh the bitter, burning anguish,
When knew that we must part
II has passed, and God has promised
All my footsteps to attend
He that's more than friend or brother
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow DER the portal
Leading TO my heavenly homo
Christ has promised life immortal,
And it's He that bids me come.
When life's trials wait around thee
And its chilling pillows SWELL
Thou'lt thank Heaven that I'm spared, then
Thou'lt feel that "all Is we'll"
Bring our boys unto my bedside
My last blessing let them keep
But they're sleeping, do not wake thom,
They'll learn soon enough TO weep.
Tell them often OF their mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake;
Lead them gently In LIES pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hands still closer. darling,
This, the last last night OF life.
For tomorrow shall never

Fare thee well, my noble husband
Faint not meath the chast'niug rod;
Throw your strong arm round our children,
Keep them close TO thee-and God.

LANCASHIRE PIT WOMEN.
They Are the Strongest Set of Femal,
Workers In All Europe.

AntF are Cn6 strongest set VI
Workers In All Europe.
The Lancashire women, at least, are
the rosiest, strongest set Of women
imaginable-that is, on Sundays ane
holidays, when repeated washings ano
scrubbings have removed several layers
Of coal dust; and it is notorious, locally
that at pinch most of them are fully
equal in physical power to their muscu-
line colleagues. At home they are moi
inferior to almost any class of women,
working or otherwise. Being engaged
in the open air all day, they can nat
urally turn in the evenings with more
than ordinary zest to household duties.
In word, they are thoroughly domesti-
Gated. Lastly-and this, after all, is
the great point-their demeanor and
general conduct are absolutely unim'
peachable. As to the working dress of
the pit women, that is certainly pc
culiar, looked at from a conventional
standpoint Up to a few years ago,
they were attired like men up to the
waist, with buckled clogs on their feet;
above the knees came the end Of a Pc
culiarly-fashioned tunic, a composite
sort of a garment, half jacket, hail
dress, with some sacking material tied
round the waist as an apron. A limp
bonnet, tied under the chin, OF
sort of turban, so arranged
as just TO show the manipulated
hair and the bright earrings, COM
pleted the costume, and very odd 1t
looked, especially at distance. which
in this case did not lend enchantment
to the view. Now, out of Difference to
the feelings of certain peculiarly sem
sitive people, the tunic is worn little
longer, so as nearly to hide the mascu-
line garment, the head-dress is a little
heater, and, in addition, short jacket
is worn. This dress is certainly not
picturesque, but as means to an end,
as allowing the utmost freedom of mo-
ton and obviating accidents, it is be-
yOnd all praise. Nevertheless, the
women themselves are conscious of its
incongruity and take the earliest OPP
portunity of changing it for ordinary
female attire as soon as they get home
from work. 1t has happened before
now that while proceeding to or from
work, they have, some of them, been
made the subject of attack by some
body with an undue proportion of tongue
to brain, but-this may be said with
safety-never more than once by the
same individual. In addition to possess
ing highly vigorous vocabulary, they
are so hardened with exposure to the
weather, and developed by the nature
of their work, that they can give a
good account of themselves even though
a fight should ensue, and the opponent
may have reason to admit, with bene-
fitting humility, the wisdom of Provi-
dence in endowing women generally
with the will and keeping from them
the power-Cassells Saturday Journal

Despite Her Age It Is still a Model of
Firmness and Legibility.
James Burbank, an ex-member of the
Canadian Parliament, is at the Hoffman
House in company with a party of
wealthy Canadians who are going South
on a pleasure trip. According to Mr..
Burbank, the Canadians are happy,
prosperous people, so well satisfied with
English rule and with such great love
for Queen Victoria that they will never
think seriously of annexation. He told
many interesting facts abol the
Queens signature.

ments," said he, lis still a model of
firmness and legibility, no sign of Her
Maiesty's advanced age being discerni-
Bile in the boldly-written Victoria R.
which she attaches to such papers as
have to bear the royal autograph. The
question of the signing of state docu-
ments in England by the sovereign be-
came one of great Importance in the
last months of George w S reign. Dur
ing this period His Majesty was in
such a debilitated state that the
impossibility, and under these circum-
stances a short bill was hurriedly
passed through Parliament authorizing
the King to atfix a facsimile Of his
autograph by means of an linked stamp.
Itwas also provided that George should,
before stamping each document, give
his verbal assent to it in a specified
form. The Duke of Wellington was in
office at the time, and it was his duty to
lay certain documents before the King
for his approval. One day the Iron
Duke, noticing that His Majesty was
stamping the papers before him with
out repeating the prescribed verbal
formality, ventured to enter respect
full but firm protest
Your Majesty forgets to repeat the
verbal formality?"
"'Hang it, what can it signify?' re-
piled the King in an irritated voice.
"'Only this, SIR replied the Duke,
that the law requires it
George ". said no more, but at once
began to repeat the requisite formality
as he stamped each of the documents"
