A Midnight Visitor.

A Midnight Visitor.
Alexander Williamson went costly to
bed,
And on the soft white pillow he laid
his weary head:
eyelids fell,
A certain something happened which
is terrible to tell.
And he was filled with wonderment
that made him cold and mute.
For, standing up beside his bed. he saw
his Sunday suit.
"Oh. Alexander Williamson"--it lifted
up sleeve
Your conscience is upbraiding you.
I'm happy 20 believe.
For all the things you've done to me
in such careless way
Are quite enough to fill the heart with
horror and dismay.
The first three days you knew me. you
were careful as could be;
You kept me nicely busted, and you
didn't spill your tea.
But OH those happy days are gone, as
happy days will go,
And IL / seem little dull, the reason
you must know.
You've bulged my trouser pockets un-
til no one thinks them neat;
You tore button of my coat and lost
it in the street:
You scrambled up bramble bank to
catch a bumble-bee,
And In your very shocking haste you
tore trouser-knee."
Then, coming close beside the bed, It
shook wristband low;
Now, Alexander Williamson. tbs well
that you should know
That though ! do not often come to
visit you In wrath,
] won't submit to every shame you
heap upon the cloth.
Your roughness and your tyranny shall
bear an awful fruit;
III go TO rags and tatters and you
shall not have a suit!
And then 1t got SO angry as 1t knelt
against the bed,
That Alexander Williamson-he COW
cred UP his head.
Now II on any morning you should
wander down our way
And chance to meet little boy In
wonderful array
In clothes full neatly busted, and high
ly polished boot
It's Alexander Williamson-and in his
Sunday suit.
Little Folks.

THE WHEEL AS 1T NOW APPEARS.

deeds Of the Abbey of Mells were de-
rnanded by the commissioners. The
Abbot of Glastonbury determined that
he would send them to London, and,
as the documents were very valuable,
and the road infested with thieves. II
was G.-cult to get them to the me-
tropolis safely.
To accomplish this end he devised
very ingenious plan. Hc ordered a
savory pie to be made, ard inside he
put the documentS-the finest filing a
pie ever had-and entrusted this
dainty to lad named Horner 10 carry
up TO London to deliver safely into the
hands for whom 1t was intended. But
the journey was long and the day cold.
and the boy was hungry, and the pie
was tempting, and the chance of de-
lection was small.
So the boy broke off a piece of the
pie. and beheld a parchment within.
He pulled 1t forth innocently enough,
wondering how 1t could have found
its way there tied up in pastry, and
arrived in town. The parcel was de-
livered. but the title-deeds of Mells
Abbey estate were missing. The fact
was that Jack had them in his pocket.
These were the juiciest plums in the
pie. Great was the rage Of the COM
missioners and heavy the vengeance
they dealt out to the monks. But
Master Jack Horner kept his secret,
when pe2ceable times were restored he
claimed the estates and received them

Mr.. T. A. Tolman, of Lacombe. AL
berta. N. w. T., former resident OF
Cascia County. Idaho, who moved to
Western Canada in July. 1894, writes
as follows:

sets OF harness and one hundred and
fifty dollars in cash. | homesteaded
the southeast quarter of Section Is,
township 40, Range 26. west Of the 4th
Meridian, also purchased a quarter
section Of Canadian Pacific Railway
land. l have been farming more or
less all my life, and / am convinced
that you can raise crops 40 per cent
cheaper here than where l came from.
My capital at present, counting every
thing, is about five thousand dollars.
The yield Of my grain all round in 1897
was 80 bushels per acre. This year
(lS9S) yield of wheat per acre, 37E
bushels, oats. so bushels, barley
35, and potatoes, 400 per acre.
l consider that this is a much
better country for a man than
where came from, provided he is In
dustrious. You get free homestead
here, and Canadian Pacific Railway
lands are cheap and the terms easy
! have now made my seventh payment
on the land purchased by me, and am
much pleased with my purchase, as the
land has already much more than paid
for itself School law here is decidedly
ahead of where came from, and there
are schools wherever there are set
tiers"

whom no one could deal with. One
day the minister sent the elder OF the
church. a clever and pious man. to see
him. He argued with him. but he
could not be convinced; 1t was of no
use. But there was an old farmer
who had prayed for years for that in
fidel.
Early one morning he took his horse
and rode to see this man. who greeted
him with: well, what brings you
here at this hour?"
The old farmer stammered badly.
and when he was greeted like this he
could not get word out. The infidel
laughed. This made 1t worse.
At last the old man burst into tears.
and stammered out: II am so anxious
about your SOUL" and hurried away.
This led to the conversion OF the In
fidel.
