TT HE parish priest was reputed to be
 a good man and wise one, but strict in his interpretation of the word of God. In worldly matters he was gem erous and kind-hearted, but in spir- ftual affairs he held closely to the letter of the law, and those who had offended against the church, however so slightly, rather summed him. His manner at times was forbidding and his questions searching, but spirit of justice pervaded all his acts and gave him an extraordinary power over his parishioners.
 It was his reputation for justice that made the young woman anxious to see him; it was his reputation for severity and strictness in all church

 burgh that possesses a clock four centuries old may fairly claim a respectable measure of antiquity. Such is the boast of .Musselburgh, the ancient and evil-smelling neighbor of Edinburgh. Recently, however, the clock has ceased to go, and in due course will find a resting place in the town museum. It well deserves thus to be preserved, for it told the time to the duke of Somerset and his army, as far back as 1547, when on the field of Pinkie, hard by, they tried to force the Scots to give their young queen Mary in marriage to Edward VI. of England. Prince Char lie and his Highlanders, too, marched under it in 1745 to do battle with Sir John Cope at the neighboring village of Prestonpans.

II no man is hero to his valet it
cannot be said that Sir Redvers Butler
was not hero to his orderly. Cor
poral George Ashley rode behind his
chief from the time he arrived at "the
front" and returned with him to Eng
land. Corporal Ashley, who belonged
to the military mounted police of Ma
tai, entertains unbounded admiration
for Sir Redvers. He cites as an in
stance of the generals GOODNESS under
fire that, when shell passed only a
few feet away, he turned to his order

in a commanders favor when one and
all who have followed him feel SO
