AN indignant land owner who found
her handsome farmhouse almost ruined
for residential and property purposes
by its proximity tothe poor farm. This
farm, adjoining Mrs. IWbitaker's, had
been left to the town lastyear.
"It's not that don't want the pau

Whitaker, as the pony trotted up the
driveway toward the barn; "but must

Mrs Whitaker. not finding her man

him into the stall and then went in
doors to DISCUSS with Hannah, the only
other occupant of the big house, the
disadvantages of the locality.
Meantime in the poorhouse, next
door, little child was sobbing her
heart out in an upper room.
''You hadn't Oughter have taken her
away before her mother died, if she
did make a fuss" said the daughter of
the woman who looked after the poor
farm, I'm agoin' up to see her"
She went up two flights of stairs to

seated on an old box in the corner. The
child stopped crying, half frightened as

"Oh,' said the child, slowly, "you
didn't tell me. Mamma said she
thought she was going to die, but they
didn't tell me; they just carried me
away"
"Well, for gracious sakes!" cried the
girl; you took on so about her bein'
sick that we had to. You amt goin' to

locks an affectionate rub. 81 knew you

The girl went downstairs and left
Ruth sitting very still upon the box
in the corner and thinking hard, with
her eyes fixed on a cobweb just across
The garnet.

Ring out all strife and tears,
AS downward through the ages
You've rung the passing years.
Ring clear, o bells, your message
Throughout all nature thrills;
IL all things living touches,
As when from Judan's hills
There rose the light triumphant
Ger death and mortal fears,
And dawned that first great Easter
The Easter Of the years.
Ring sweet, o bells, your lesson
Unto each heart to-day;
That all before tho Master
May but life's lilies lay;
Ring soft-rlng low; your Ginning
May bridge some past--its tears,
For those, perchance who mourneth
Some Easter In the years.
Again, o bells OF Easter,
Ring out In thrilling peal,
That we, through all our pulses
The newborn glory feel
Gods living, loving presence,
AS each new spring appears
In all that breathes around az,
Throughout the march OF years,
