there is little reverence for the learned

when an important point in the evi

Now" said the examining counsel
to an old man in the witness box, tell

The lunatic strobe on until he

night wrote to a friend in Rocky Point
TO tell her that intended visiting her

strange news. Mrs Rolston had left
her home one week before, aud for
some days it was unknown where she
had gone; finally her husband traced
her to distant city. where it seemed
she had joined en- opera company, the
manager OF which had spent his sum
ner holiday at Rocky Point. and had
been much pleased with Mrs. Eolston's
splendid voice She had never been
much attached to domestic life. her
whole soul going out after gayesy and
admiration, ard now she had deliber-
atelv given up husband and child for
the life she loved Poor Ben, No won

never again was to look on his bright
face in life. The very morning I ar
rived and heard this tale, he went out
in his boat alone, though warned that
squat was coming up. His boat was
found floating bottom upwards the next
morning. and later in the day his body
was washed up on the beach opposite
his own door. After the funeral Of

both suffered, and the kinship'of sorrow
is perhaps the strongest of any. told
her of my present position OF lonely
wealth and my longing to have Ben
near me.
''Oh! l could not live without him"
shesaid.
Yet when I went home I took him
with me to educate as NY son and heir,
and not long after, as Mary could not
live apart from Ben, she consented to
become ny wife, and though for both
of us the glamour of youth had passed
away, leaving clearer vision to the
great realities Of life, yet our married
life has had deep happiness in it far
surprising the dreams Of youth, though
lacking their wild rapture.
Ben has grown up into the splendid
manhood that his youth promised. and
is now an accomplished musician. His
eye has not lost its old straight look,
and his mouth is still sweet, without q
trace of cynicisn. he is as the apple
of the eye to both Of US, though God
has given us little daughter of our

To Mary, Ben is the living link bind

represents the beginning of my new

Sweetheart, there is no splendoR
In all Gods splendid skies
Bright IS the love-light tender
That dwells in thy dear eyes
Sweetheart, there are no blisses
Like those thy lips distill;
OF all the worlds sweet kisses
Thy kiss is sweetest still.
Sweetheart no white dove flying
Had e'er as soft breast
As this sweet hand that's lying
Clasped in my own-at rest
Sweetheart there is no glory
Tn at clusters round my life
Brig It as this bright, sweet story,
my sweetheart and my wife"

pushed too hard, and before he could
reverse, the motor dashed toward the

Several persons on the sidewalk heard

The first move of the motor was Strik-
