HER PICTURE.

Thank God. no change or pain can ever come
To that fair pictured face ON yonder wall.
With earnest eyes, and lips forever dumb.
That loved and trusted me through all in all
Full many time. when filed with deep un-
rest
watched it In the lamplight's quiverins
gleam
Until my soul with quiet was possessed.
And then it faded from me In dream.
Sweet. gently curving mouth, that 10 me left
Its last smile in the last kiss that she gave.
Then closed. to leave me utterly bereft.
Until we meet again beyond the grave
Soft eyes, within the firelight's atful glow.
scarce can see you. sorrowful and deep;
And yet. in darkness, as in light, know
That never weary is the watch you keep.
Sweet eyes brown eyes. so tender and so kind.
doubt if living eyes could ever be
To all my faults and failures half SO blind.
Or half so fond. or pitiful to me.
Time can not change those loving, earnest
eyes.
So wishful for the love in mine they see;
Or watching Ger me in their sad surprise
And grieving for the grief that came TO me.
Can you, then, blame me that love this face,
That long ago became my dearest friendl
Or that wish it, with its quiet grace,
To watch above me till reach the endS

1T means mustn't touch it, Philip,
was the unhesitating reply.
"Ernestl" exclaimed the boys mother,
who had overheard the question and an
swer, "why do you tell your little brother
that?"
"You told me so, mamma. answered
Ernest.
why, no; think what you are saying.
/ could not have told you that, urged
the astonished mother.
"But you did, mamma asked you,
and you said: Amen means mustn't touch
it, returned the little boy, very posi-
lively.
His mother was greatly puzzled until
she remembered that she had said: Amen
means so let it be.
Little Ernest. in his raids on the work

Before him were seyeralpages Of man

toward the figure 10, he redoubled his
labor at the manuscript.
Anon he glances at the revolver on tho

handle. as If faltering in his resolution,
and then he continues his writing.

He grasps the revolver, and with a reso-
