The Old, Old Man,

A mile or so from the Westbury Half
Way House there is little cluster of red
buildings to the north of the highroad.
Here, nestled between q modern shoot
ing box and an ancient farmstead, is q
small chapel, and within the chapel a
memorial plate to Parr: 1.-The old, old,
very old man, born in the year of our
Lord 1883. He lived in the reign of ten
kings and queens of England, died the
18th and was buryed in Westminster
abbey on the 18th of November, 1885. +"
The inscription ON brass, in neat
oak frame, of course proves nothing,
though it may we'll date from the mid
die of tho seventeenth century. Its most
attractive feature is the neatly engrav-
ed head of Parr, which is little at vari-
ance with that given in Taylor's pam
phlet. 1t is hard to think this serene
faced person, in the conical skullcap,
the trim white collar and many but
toned coat, was a farm laborer all his
life. His peaked beard is of the kind
Vandyke loved to paint, and his mus
tache runs down into it. The nose is
long and straight, and his eyebrows are
handsomely arched.
Whether this portrait be true or an
ideal one it is famously suggestive of a
man who "hath not been troubled in
mind for either the building or throwing
down of abbeys and religious houses, :"
who did never "murmur at the manner
of prayers, let them be Latin or Eng
lish," and who "held it safest to be Of
the religion of the king and queen that
We're (sic) in being" 1t is to be hoped
indeed he was such man, else he
could not have lived through more
tiresome century and half of English
life Macmillan Magazine

The adult who is not willing to wait
is as much o child as the infant in tho
high chair. One cannot expect mature
thought, patience and an appreciation
of interchange of sentiment in a child.
When he is a child, he sees as a child,
he thinks as child, but when he be-
comes a man he is popularly supposed
to put away childish things, and it is
on this line of reasoning that the now
table rule has been instituted.

CONFIDENCES OF CLIENTS.
A Noted English Precedent Which Stamp
Them as Inviolable.

'"Tho matter of condolences between
counsel and client is one of great inter
est and Importance, said we'll known
iurist and exiudge the other day.
AS to the duty of lawyer ON the
trial of a case where he has been in
formed by his client that he is guilty,
the best and most controlling example
is that of Charles James Phillips, the
eminent British barrister who in many
directions was rated in his time as Sec
ond only to Lord Erskine.
He was defending Courvoisier, who
was indicted for the murder of Lord
Russell. During the trial. ON the exam
ination of very important witness for
the people, the accused was much over
come, and in the intensity of his emo
ton communicated either to Mr. Phil
lips or to his solicitor the fact that he
was guilty of the crime.
Mr.. Phillips Immediately asked for
all adjournment of the case and for a
consultation with the judges. The con-
sultation was granted, and Mr.. Phillips
stated to the bench that tho accused had
confessed his guilt and requested the
judges to point out to him his path of
duty. The judges, after deliberation,
stated that he would have perfect
right to make such legal and logical de-
ductions from the evidence as he
thought tended to the exculpation of the
accused, but it would be unprofessional
to state to tho jury any personal belief
of his innocence
In his argument to the jury Mr..
Phillips, carried away by his emotions
and imagination, did state to the jury
his own personal belief in tho innocence
of his client, and this statement of his
occasioned much criticism afterward. 1"

nished table that was spread In the cen
ter OF the apartment, It was a very
old-fashioned room, with a homemade
carpet, and curtains trimmed with
knotted fringe, while the window seats
were full Of thrifty geraniums and
petunias A tall clock in the corner
licked monotonously, and the brass can
dlesticks cleaned from the mantel as
brightly as II they had been fashioned
out Of gold.
A quarter past five" said Ebenezer
torrance, adjusting his iron spectacles

what Keeps that boy so. Clara, most
wish you could have made up your
mind to marry him, and then we
shouldn't ha had him chasing down to
Squire Deans after Margaret half the
time. There, child, you needn't turn SO
pale-l'm not In earnest"
Mrs. Torrance put out her motherly
hand to smooth Clara's golden hair, as
the fair woman shrank as from blow.
Clara, Clara, it wasn't your fault"
But 1t was my fault, Aunt Miriam
1t was my fault Do not know where
your thoughts have been all this day

families gathered around them? Oh

the road, in the chill gloom of the fast
darkenng night, AS he paused mo-
ment to rest against the gnarled trunk
of deformed willow, where he had
many and many time played as a boy,
a tall, straight figure passed him, strid-
ing swiftly along and whistling an old
fashioned air. AS it passed, Matthew
shrank back as If sword had pierced
his heart
"He used to whistle that tune. Ihave
not heard 1t in twenty years before"
So Matthew toiled on.
There 1t was, the old familiar light in

the old familiar window, cleaning out
like star.
Torrance hesitated.
"Am I right in pressing on? Who
knows but one coveted glance may
bring sharper pain than years of silence
and doubt? Who knows but that the
chairs are empty, the hearthstone sur
rounded by other faces and forms?
Were 1t not best to leave the old home
stead shrouded in merciful uncertainty?
No; have dared too much to pause
now"
He softly lifted the latch Of the gar
den gate and passed up the narrow
path.
Yes; there was mis- father, old and
silver-haired, but living still; and his
mother sat opposite, with the half-fn-
ished stocking on the cleaning needles.
Just it had been twenty years ago, and
the black silk holiday dress fastened
at the throat with the little gold min
fashioned like sea shell, that he re-
membered so well. And Clara, as beam
tiful as ever, with rlpened, mature
loveliness, how royalty the fire turned
her heavy coronals of hair, to coils of
gold, as she bent to light the tall can
dies in the polished brass candlesticks
Like a sleeping giant the old love rose
I'D once more in his heart as he looked
on the face Of the girl whose syren-like
charms had maddened him to the one
desperate act Of his life. And-Father
of all mercies was he dreaming, or was
the great horror Of his darkest antici-
pations overwhelming madness?
Even as he looked, tall figure passed
from an obscure part Of the room into
the full glow Of fire and candles, stand
ing with one hand on the old lady's
shoulder.

Matthew Torrance walked up and
down the warm cabin with folded arms
and downcast eyes, whose lambert fire
contrasted strangely with the streaks OF
silver in his luXuriant black hair. Sud-
denly he paused, and turned abruptly
to the old man who sat directly under

swinging lamp.

The old gentleman looked up with a
tranquil smile.

"It seems as If I should like to hear
that tonight"
Samuel Hayes turned to the place
and softly read aloud the sweet old BIZ
BILE story. AS his voice died away Tor
rance drew a deep, long sigh.
Il suppose that parable is meant to
illustrate Gods patience and long suf-
fering?"
Undoubtedly"
"Ah! but that prodigal son only
spent his substance and wasted his life
foolishly. He was not beyond the pale

Matthew Torrance stopped in front of
the table.

points about him, too. He had a twin

of rage-there was plenty of proyoea-
ton, for both loved the same girl and
she was a heartless coquette-he raised
his hand against this brother and"
"Well."
And murdered him! killed him,
Struck him down as Cain struck Abel
Then he fled the country, and has never

and bitterly since-repented it with an
anguish of despair that is past descrlp-

mercy and forgiveness for such as he?"
Enough your sins be as scarlet they
