1t CHANGED last year, at the time of an I'M

! congregation, in order to show his regard
for the priest, suggested to the winemakers
roundabout that they secure new barrel,
place it in the cures cellar, and that 1t
should be filled by each ones pouring into
it gallon of wine as gratuity.
The suggestion was promptly acted on,
and the barrel was filled.
After the wine harvest was over, the
priest, to show his appreciation of the PEG
ple's kindness, invited them to supper at
his house, and, like the professional Amer

When all were seated, Father Pierot said
"My friends am sure you are all rs

will be of blending so many different kinds
of wines together. If the result is rs good
as the motive that prompted your gracious
conduct, the wine should be something
measurably fine. Jacques burning to the
servant), go down to the cellar and bring
up large pitcher of that wine"
The servant did as he was commanded,
and soon returning with the vessel in both
hands and puzzled smile on his face he
began filling the glasses.
The fluid looked like water, and it did
not require searching analysis to prove
that it was water Expecting that every
one else would bring wine, and that his own
gallon of water would not be detected
among the lot, each one of those generous
and pious parishioners, including the man
who had started the idea, had brought
water, aud there was not drop of wine i'll

rose equal TO the occasion. MY friends, "

One of Us.

One Of Us.
The day will dawn when one of us shall hearken
In vain to hear IA voice that has grown dumb,
And morns shall fade, moons pale and shadows
daTken
While sad eyes watch for feet that never come.
One of us two must some time face existence
Alone with memories that but sharpen pain,
And these sweet days shall shine back in the
distance
Like dreams of summer dawns in night OF
rain.
One of us two, with tortured heart half broken,
Shall read long treasured letters through salt
tears;
Shall kiss with angushed lips each cherished
token
That speaks of these love crowned, delicious
years,
One of us two shall find all light, all beauty,
All Joy on earth, a tale forever done;
Shall know henceforth that life means only
duty
OGod! o Godl have pity on that one.

Under the Mistletoe.


She stood beneath the mistletoe
That hung above the door,
Quite conscious Of the sprig above,
Revered by maids Of yore.
A timid longing filed her heart;
Her pulses throbbed with heat;
He sprang TO where the fair girl stood.
MAY Just one-my sweetY"
He asked his love, who tossed her head.
Just do it-if-you dare" she said.
He sat before the fireplace
Down at the club that night.
"She loves me not" he holly said,
Therefore she did but right"
She sat alone within her room,
And with her finger tips
She held his picture TO her heart,
Then pressed 1t to her lips.
MY loved one!" sobbed she, "if you
cared
You surely would have-would have
dared"

He died at night. Next day they came
To weep and praise him; sudden fame
These suddenly warm comrades gave.
They called him pure; they called him brave;
One praised his heart, and one his brain;
All said, You'd seek his like in vain
Gentle and strong and good;" none saw
In all his character flaw.
At noon he Weakened from his trance
Mended; was WE'LL They looked askance;
Took his hand coldly; loved him not,
Though they had wept him; quite forgot
His virtues; lent an easy ear
To slanderous tongues; professed fear
He was not what he seemed TO be;
Thanked God they were not such as he;
Gave to his hunger stones for bread,
And made him, living, wish him dead.

The Old Confederate to His Wooden Lei

The Old Confederate to His Wooden Leg.
Oh, wooden leg, thou theme of heartless fun
To thoughtless youth, and exc to witless age,
Serene, thou'lt stand the shot from ev'ry gun.
Or aimed by self proved fool or self styled sagel
MY faithful leg, with me thou'lt stump around;
All sneers at lameness, age, defeat, thou't
brave,
And when at last all my arms shall ground
Thoult bear me comp'ny even in the grave.
And then some friends-as true no doubt as
thou,
But in their showing of it, late, too late
May, weeping, say, as round my grave they
bow,
He was a faithful old Confederate!'
When once a Scotchman died, and men on high
\ shaft did rear to pay for sights they'd
shown
"Poor Burns! In life," they heard a woman
sigh,
| "He lacked for bread. In death they give I
stone."
Drive not to pastures bare the warworn steed
And wait for death to show regard wei
meant.
Some love in life would meet his sorest need
What care the dead for lofty monument
