IT is stated that when the new con-

1900 West Virginia will be entitled
to six Congressman, two more than
we now have. This will, of course,
involve change of district lines, and
we truly hope that Preston and Mo-

out Republican majorities in those
two counties makes US sick.

of the opera had for the Woodworking
young writer an especial fascination.
One evening he so ardently desired
to attend one of these balls, that he
pawned his watch to obtain enough
money to hire a costume for the &C.
casion. Now this watch had been his
mothers, and no sooner had he en-
tered his attic room than he began to
reflect upon what he had done. Re-
morse followed exhilaration. He re-
solved to return the next morning to
the pawnshop, give back the money and
reclaim his watch.
II passed the night he said, after
wards, gazing upon the ten francs l
had received, my heart beating painful

to the pawnbroker and redeeming his
watch. AS in this instance he was,
throughout his whole life, actuated by

most delicate sentiments.-Youth's

The RHYTHM OF THE RAIN.

I sit beside the fl.ckering fire and lister
to the rain,
Which beats its solemn rhythmic march
upon my window pane;
A DUH and dismal monotone, but In ils
muffled tune
Weird voices whispering of the past run
softly through its rune;
And somehow as familiar tones are thus
conveyed to me,
Loved faces from the shadow land within
the room see.
They come and go within the glow Of my
declining fire.
The ones who for long years on earth full
filled my hearts desire;
An aged mothers gentle face In halo made
of smiles,
Whose memory still keeps far all sin which
Injuries or deiileS:
Though now the collins lid shields her from
earthly i'll and care,
Her voice comes back In accents sweet
and bids her boy beware.
Near her a fathers kindly face and grave
but loving voice,
With friends long gone who come again
to solace and rejoice,
Whose presence seems here to diffuse
blessing for their friend,
Whose kindly smiles and gracious words
with love In blessing blend;
Red embers burning low as though loves
genial altar fires,
The randrops marking time with beat
which never flags or tires.
AT such times come to seeing souls the
spirits of the past,
The memories oft by daylight cares and
stern work overcast;
The forms which touch us not at all in toll
some garish day,
The gentler thoughts in business hours as
shy and sweet as they;
But when the twilight shadows veil days
worry fret and rush,
Ghosts march timed by the rains tattoo
through evenings restful hush
How sweet sometimes to rest at eve, to
hold this glad commune,
With rhythmic rain and rhythmic thought
and gentlest hours in tune;
Our better selves thus touching souls which
long since went away,
To leave US none we loved with quite SC
true a trust as they;
And so when embers turn to gold and rest
replaces pain,
Our eyes close to the ills of life, our weary
souls are fain
To welcome those whose tones blend with
the rhythm of the rain.

Annette Delmar was admitted to the

She was thickly yelled. She told Mat

voices in the library across the hall.
She recognized Whidby's voice and Col

startled at the sight of his pale,
troubled face.
