somebody lifted him, just as they had
done at the first. Darkened was the

very like the psople wh1 stood there at
that other time.
There was a doctor, now, as thep,
only this doctor wore graver look,
and carried book 10 his hand. There
was mans voice-the DOCTORS strong

voice, low nd comforting.
The mother-voice had passed into sill

most distinctly hear. The others be
heard, as he heard voices like then
years ago. He could not then under
stand what they said; he did not under
stand hem now.
He parted his lips again, but all his

eIoquence, all his clear, lucid phrasing,
had gone back to the old inarticulate

now, as then. But now they were mo-
tears from his eyes.
Then, some one bending over him
had said: "He came from heaven. u
Now, some one STOPPING above him
said: He has gone o heaven" The
blessed, ,unfaltering faith that we lcomeC
him, now bade him Godspeed, just al
loving and trusting as ever, one un
changing thing in this world of change
So he baby had walked in a little
circle, after all, as all men, lost in

AS it was was written thousands oi
years ago-"The dove found no resi-

He felt weary now. as he was tiret
then. By and by, having then for tht

last time he closed them. And SO, Al

Liacoln,s Dream.

Grant Duff's dairy, which John Mur-
ray has published in four volumes,
contains a curious story which was
related to Charles Dickens by Slant on,
Lincoln's Secretary of War, and re-.
peated to the author by Dickens. The
story is too long to quote in full, but
1t may be taken up with the statement
made by the Attorney General in the
Cabinet after brusque remark by
Stanton when its meeting on certain
day was over. Stanton had been late
in getting to the council and to a
question Of his companion replied:
"AlI the rest of US were pretty punc-
tual, and when We came in we found
the President sitting with his head on
his hand and looking very unlike him
self. At length he lifted his head and,
looking around at US, he said: Seen
tlemen, in few hours We shall receive
some very strange intelligence Very
much surprised, said to him: Sir, you
have got some very bad news No.
he answered, 4 have g OF no news, but
in few hours we shall receive some
very strange intelligence. Still more
astonished, 1 said: May we ask, sir,
what leads you to suppose we shah
receiv this intelligence?' He replied:
'I'ye had a dream. had it the night
before Bull Run. I had it on some
other OCCASION (which Dickens had
forgotten 'andI had it last night
This was stranger than ever, and I
said: MAY we ask, sir, the nature Of
your dreamP' He replied; Pm alone
I'm in boat and and Pm out on the
bosom of great rushing river, and I

moment came your knock at the door.

posing the bar, and furnished then
with small drill, invited each to drii
into the bar at random. They did SO
and az the boring came outof the hole'
Mr.. Martin gathered them up ant
handed them TO Wood, carefully done
up in neat piece of tissue paper.
The two friends came to this city
with the tissue-paper parcel, and hast
ened to the Assay Office, where the
quality of their gold was put to the
severest test. The office reported that
it essayed more than eighteen carats
fine. At that rate, the bar they had
seen would be worth at the least calcu-
lation e4,600, or about $4,000 in
American money. Martin wanted
$4,000 for his share. They returned
to Niagra Falls to complete the trans
action, and Mr.. Baiss telegraphed to
his father in England for the sum re-
quired, Wood being unable to draw as
much as that according to the terms OF
his fathers will. There was slight
dispute as to whers the gold should be
delivered. Wood wished the delivery
to be in New Y ook, but Martin wanted
to be in Niagra Falls. This question,
however, was settled on the receipt OF
cable dispatch from Baiss's fathes to
the effect that he would send the e2, 600
if the transaction should be complied
in NeW-York.
LAWYER WAS SUSPICIOUS.
Last Friday, therefor, all three start
ed for thi; city from Niagrs Falls. A
pleasant journey it was, according to
the description of the two Englisnmen,
their companion delightiug them with
tales of mining, sport and adventure in
the far Northwest. They all went to
the windsor Hotel, but before the trans
action was completed the two friends
weut downtown, Whe 9 they CHANGED
TO call on lawyer to whom Mr.. Wood
had an introduction. They told him
of the luck they had, and asked him
what he thought of it. He said he
thought it was all right, but thought
it might be a good plan to see Captain
McClusky about it. When they un-
folded their tale to Captain McClusky
he saw that they had just missed being
the victims Of clever, though thread
bare scheme, and told hem SO. The
bar was not of gold, and ths boring Of
base metal its owner had changed to
genuine gold when he made up the lit
tie package of tissue paper.
The Captain fixed up cable dispatch
to calm any suspicious which might
arise in the mind of Martin over furth-
er delay, and sent Detectiye-Sergeants
Brown and Frazier to the Windsor
Hotel to arrest their man.
The detectives found in the DINING
room. Brown recognized in him a
criminal he had arrested somewhat
more than two years ago for swindling.
The recognition was mutual. Besides
Martin was satchel with the big bar
of gold. Both the Englishmen are men
of leisure living on their incomes. The
late Major Wood was an officer in the
British Army and wealthy man. 1t
is practically certain that he never had
any friend who went to British Coldm-
bia. Martin evidently saw the notice
Of Major Woods death in an English
newspaper, with an account of his life
and the large estate be left behind.

International Sunday Sch Dol Lesson for
Nov. 6, 1898. Hezekiah's GreatPass-
over. 2 Chron. 30:1-13. Read the
whole chapter, Golden Text-"Yield
yourselves unto the Lord, and enter
into His Sanctuary" Chron. 30:8.
King Hezekiah sent to all Israel and
Judah, and wrote letters TO the tribes
Of Ephraim and Manasseh also, that
they should come to the house of the
Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the passover
unto the Lord God of Israel.
This passover feast had been COM
manded by the God of Israel, 765 years
before, to be observed forever, but His
people had forsaken Him and discon-
tinued 1t. On that memorable night in
Egypt, when the lamb was slain and its
blood put on the door post Of every be-
LEVERS house, making such house alb
solutely secure from death, by toe
pledged word Of the Lord, no matter
what was the experience or life of the
inmates; the lamb was then to be eaten
in joy and thanksgiving by the same
word of their Lord, forgetting them
selves, and remembering only His
mercy.
And now Hezekiah reminds his king
dom that sthey had not done it for a
lorg time in such sort as it was writ
ten." So the posts went with the let
ters commanding the people to "turn
again unto the Lord God Of Abraham,
Isaac and Israel, and He will return to
the remnant of you." They were re-
minded that "The Lord il merciful and
gracious, slow to anger and plentsous
in mercy. He hath not dealt with us
after our sins; nor rewarded US accord
ing to our iniQuities ..... Like as q
father pitieth his children, SO the Lord
pitieth them that fear Him."

laughed them to scorn and mocked
them. Nevertheless some of the people
of three tribes humbled themselves and
came to Jerusalem. and in Judah God
gave them one heart to obey this COM
mand, and very great congregation
assembled in the holy city to keep this
joyful feast.
And Hezekiah prayed, 1.-The good
Lord pardon every one that prepareth
his heart to seek God. And the Lord
hearkened to Hezekiah. and healed the
people, And the children Of Israel
kept the feast seven days with great
gladness and praise, and the king spake
comfortably to the people and taught
the good knowledge OF the Lord, and
they made confession to the Lord God
Of their fathers. They not:only reioicsd
but they purified their lives and Were
