for you. The doctor is going to let you
try to walk a little tomorrow"
Then how Glory's brown eyes
sparkled and how long 1T seemed to
wait for the next day. In the morning,
as she lay half asleep, listening to the
Easter chimes, she became conscious
that the air was filed with a delicious
perfume. Could Miss Gay have come
so early, she wondered, as she quickly
opened her eyes, but no, there was only
the nurse down at the further end of
the room. Then Glory looked over to
the window, and there was beautiful
white flower bending toward her and
sending out its fragrance

she said, after a few moments, looking
up at Miss Gay, who had just come in
with the doctor. This lovely thing

bowl of hot broth, after which the doc

steps they were, but it was walking,

should walk home to Maggie, she felt
that her Easter was indeed a joyful
one.-N. Y. World

CHAPTER XIII.
WHO TRANQUILITY IN LIFE's GREAT TASK

FIELD WROUGHT"
Olive was waiting, almost inpatient
ly, for next Sunday. The little gray
chapel, standing in its quiet garden,
was spiritual resting place, and the
words that she had heard there were
living in her mind.
With a reserve that is often born of
deep feeling, she kept the secret of her
newly found comfort. Not even to Sam
uel Wake did she speak of it. But Sam
uel had eyes to see and ears to hear;
and he saw that the look of weary
patience was passing from her face, and
heard a hopeful ring in her voice again.
Yet she had not ceased to suffer. The
young life, so soon made desolate, was
still sad with the memories of promises
unfulfilled. She was too inexperienced
to look forward to new hopes and a
new love. For her, she thought, there
was only the lonely path homeward,
planted thickly with tender recollec-
tions. Misunderstood and unloved, she
learned TO accept her fate without bitter
ness. 1t was no small thing to have
been lifted above her sorrow. and set
upon the hill top, although she stood
there alone.

sunshine, seemed to partake of her

at the bowl of flowers which her hands
had arranged the day before. Then,
with one of her quick movements. she
came to his side, touching him gently
on the shoulder: ''You do not advise
me, old boy" Her clear voice trembled
little. "One man knows another's Sc
crets and never tells them. | don't ask
you to betray confidence. | only say

Dear Seward, what delightful
things have 1 said?"
Something about Jack and Jill. You
think that Jack would be a benighted
fellow if he saw his Jill and did not do
his best to get her for himself?"

only child born of that union. OF all
Mrs. Villiers' grandchildren. only Sea-
ward Aylstone and Claud and Adeline
Villiers were left. The parents of
these young people were dead, and
granny had always claimed the right
of interfering with their personal con-
Germs. and giving them great deal of
excellent advice. OF the three, Claud
had proved himself the most docile; but
even Claud had deeply offended his
grandmother in a time gone by, and
had very nearly ruined his prospects in
life.
But he had repented of his folly be-
fore it was too late. And in obedience
to granny's command he had dutifully
proposed to his cousin Adeline.
Miss Villiers had accepted him, and
the pair had been engaged two years.

A SCHOOL ROW.

Yesterday was the red letter day of the
year in Superintendent Pence's Office.
Over fifty school teachers were present
and half a township of farmers besides.
The attraction was the hearing OF the ap-
plication of one NJ. Faubush, of school
district No GO, to have the certificate of
Henry McCoin, the school teacher of that
district, cancelled. The county board of
examiners consisting of Professor Pence,
Naylor and Alexander, presided. The
cause of the application was based upon
the fact, that some four or five weeks ago
McCoin exposed revolver in his school
to intimidate the scholars who, 1t APP
peared, had not been living up to the
rules laid down for their government by
Mr.. McCoin. Faubush's boy was the
principal refractory member against
whom the revolver was leveled. Faubush
presented the matter to the district board.
but matters went against him there and
he appealed to the county examining
board. After that body listening patiently
to the testimony in the case they deli5er-
ated for an hour or SO, and agree to ask
for McCoin's resignation, instead OF can
ceiling his certificate.

wild burst of applause. The scenic effects
were supurb, especially in the scene OF the

of the play in the part of Eileen ODonnell,
took her part excellently. Her work is
strong, earnest and graceful. There is
none of the strain and rant which charac-
terize many Irish dialect representations.
She was twice called before the curtain
and there was ample demonstration of the
hearty delight of the audience. James b.
Donovan received a share of the honors OF
the evening in his portrayal of the part OF
Teddy Brannigan. His clever. impersona-
tion brought down the house. The rest of
the cast is a decidedly strong one. The
plot is logical one and is OF intense inter

most catchy songs were given during the
evening by different members of the COM

THE SONG or THE ANGELS.

It came upon the midnight clear.
That glorious song of old.
From angels bending near the earth
70 touch their harps OF gold;
.Peace on the earth. good will to men
From heavens all gracious king"
The worldsin solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
Der all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on lowering wing,
And ever DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long:
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong:
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring;
Oh hush the noise, We men OF strife
And hear the angels singl
And We, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low.
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh. rest beside the weary road.
And hear the angels singl
For loi the days are fastening on,
By prophet bards foretoid.
When witfithe ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold:
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling.
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Edmund II. Sears in New Nation.
