''All right ma'am," said 1. "And
now, if you'll take my arm, we will be
at home in quarter of an hour"
But" said she, why can't go di-

Its middling late, ma am" said l.
"And houses don't stand shoulder to
shoulder in Swampscot. My nearest
neighbor is mile and a half away.
But never fear, ma am, I've wife that
will be glad to bid you welcome for
the sake of her old mother"
She murmured a few words of thanks,
but she was old and weary, and the
pathway rough and uneven, in the
blasts-and walking wasn't an easy
the little cottage on the edge of
Swampscot, where the light glowed
warmly through the Turkey red cur
tains.
"Oh Mark, dearest, how late you

open the door. Come in quick, out

and-but who is that with you ?"
In hurried whisper told her all.

Right OF course you did," said
she. ASK her to come in at once.
And I'll put another cup and saucer

Tenderly l assisted the chilled and
weary old lady across the threshold.
Here's my wife," said l. And
here's cup of smoking coffee and
some of Kate's own biscuits and chick
en- pie. You'll be all right when the
cold is out of your joints bit"
You are very, very welcome" said
Kate, brightly, as she advanced to
until our visitors veil and loosen the
folds of her cloak. But all of a sudden
l hear a cry, Mother, oh, mother ~
And looking around, l saw Kate
and the old lady clasped in each other
arms.
Hold on, Kate said 1, with the
coffee pot still in my hands, as had
been lifting it from the fire. "This

But it is, Mark! cried Kate, breath
lessly. Its mother ;lny own mother!
Oh help Inc, dearest, quickly ;she has
tainted away !"
But she was all right again present
ly, sitting by the fire with her feet on
one of the warm cushions which Kate
had knit on wooden needles, and drink
ing hot coffee. 1t was all true, The
unfortunate passenger whose pocket
had been picked on the train and to
whose rescue | had come, was no
other than my Kate's own mother,
who had determined to risk the perils
of a journey, to the far West to see
her child once again.
And she has been with US ever since
and is the dearest old mother-in-law
that ever a man had, the comfort of
our household, and the guardian angel
of little Kate and the baby, when
am away on my long trips.
And little Kate declares now that
she is perfectly happyn God bless
her-may she never be otherwise.

HE NEEDED THEIR PRAYERS

An aged man in a town adjoining
Lewiston tells story of the old days
when every minister was not a college
educated man and when churches and
parishes often had no other meeting
house than schoolhouses at the three
corners. The congregation of the
town where the story teller lived had
been much shocked upon learning
that their preacher had departed I'M
der most discreditable circumstances.
On the following Sunday it seemed to
be the aim of nearly every one to hush
up the scandal, and under great re-
straint many interesting conversations
were held, merely to show thatsthe
members of the church could rise
above sensational gossip. Just before
the services were closed one elder
brother arose and said: Brethren
and sisters, since we last met in this
house something which seems to have
cast a gloom over this congregation
has occurred. We were all much at
tached to our minister. In fact, we
loved him, and l now propose that we
offer up a prayer for the wanderer."
A sensational wave went over the
audience, and another brother, the
senior even of the other, arose and
said: I'm astonished that you
should desire the congregation to pray
for our erring minister-you, above
all Others" why p Because he ran
away with your young wife, Eyes, 1
know, and that is the reason why
think he will need our prayers"

LOOK FOUR WATCH.

In a recent conversation q promi-
nent jeweler of Maiden lane told the
following story to explain why the
Roman numerals printed ON the dials
of watches and clocks differ from those
in common use. He said:
ut is nothing but u tradition among
watchmakers, but the custom has al
ways been preserved. You may OF
you may not know that the first clock
that in any way reSembled those now
in use was made by Henry Wick in
1870 He made it for Charles V. of
France, who has been called THE
Wise
Now, Charles was wise in good
many ways. He was wise enough to
recover from England most of the
land which Edward III. had conquer
ed, and he did good many other
things which benefited France. But
his early education had been some
what neglected, and he probably
would have had trouble in passing a
Civil Service examination in these en-
lightened ages. Still he had the repu-
tation for wisdom and thought that it
was necessary. in order to keep it up,
that he should also be supposed to
possess book learning. The latter
was subject he was extremely touchy
about. 80 the story runs in this
fashion, although l will not vouch for
the language, but put it in that of the
present day:
"'Yes, the clock works WE'LL said
Charles, but being anxions to find
some fault with thing he did not un-
derstand, you have got the figures on
the dial wrong
Wherein, your majesty" asked
Wick.
"'That four should be four ones,
said the king.
"'You are wrong, your majesty,
said Wick.
81 am never wrong Numbered the
king. Take it away and correct the
mistaken and corrected it was, and
from that day to this o'clock on a
watch or clock dial has iii. instead
of ". The tradition has been faith
fully followed"

FROM THE PATHETIC TO THE LU-
DICROUS.

Judge Emerson, one of the most
eloquent men Illinois ever produced,
was once taken down completely in
trial at Decatur" said an attorney.
HE had a case in which there were
some peculiarly pathetic circum-
stances, the rights of a young girl
whose property had been squandered,
and who was reduced to restitution,
being involved. Judge Emerson
made the most of it, and, as he closed
his speech, a solemn hush had fallen
over the courtroom. Tears stood in
the eyes of the jurors, and even the
judge coughed sympathetically, and
hid his head behind the trial docket.
His opponent, whose name | have
now forgotten, saw that the spell had
to be broken in some way, or his case
was lost. Arising slowly to his feet,
and in voice of deep solemnity, and
with slow deliberation, he said: Seen
tlemen of the jury, let us continue
these solemn exercises by singing the
115th Psalm. A roar of laughter fol-
lowed from the audience, and Judge
Emerson lost his case.n

ADROWNED MANS SHIRT.

August Melching was drowned in
the Codorous creek while swimming.
His body could not be found for some
time, when one of the searchers sug-
gested that his shirt be thrown into
the water, claiming that it would float
to where the body was. The sugges-
ton was acted on and the garment
thrown into the water where it was
thought that he had disappeared. 1t
instantly shot out, then stopped, cir
cled about n short time and in another
moment disappeared under the water.
a young man present on the creek S
bank then dived to where the shirt
was seen to sink and found the body
of the young man where the shirt had
disappeared. The singularity of the
incident consists in the fact that the
shirt was found clinging to the dead
mans body. Two gentlemen who
were on opposite sides of the creek at
the time this occurred corroborate
the truthfulness of the Incident
This gives credence to the ancient idea
that the clothing of a drowned man
when thrown into the water will float
to the body.

HOW HE GOT A CHEESE.

An Irishman on one occasion pass
ing a grocer's shops and seeing pile of
cheeses on the counter, and noticing
the shopman had left the shop, thought
it a good opportunity to get cheese
for nothing.
He therefore stepped lightly into
the shop, and taking couple of chess
es placed one on each side of the scales.
The shopman, hearing the noise, came
from the back shop and asked Pat
what he was about.
"Och," said Pat, don't annoy your
self, only wished to know if your
cheese or mine is the heaviest
Like your COMPOUNDED cheek"
said the shopman angrily; ''if you
don't get your cheese out of this at
once I'll set the police on YOU"
Pat lifted the cheese, and smiling
at the trick he had performed, bade
the shopman respectful good-day.

The ocean chants of lustrous pearls
Far hidden in its caves below,
Beneath the wave that lightly curls
Beneath the mirrored stars a-blow.
All sweet the strain that rings
Above the pillows blue,
But sweeter the songs my fancy sings
Amid the dusk, of you,
Love,
Amid the dusk, of you.
The zephyr tells the woodlands green
And mossY banks of nodding flowers,
Beneath the summer skies serene,
That bend to bliss the fragrant bowers.
All, soft the day that filings
Its magic DER the dew,
But softer the strains my fancy sings
Beneath the stars, of you,
