In the meadows Of the skies;
One by one, all white and still,
Rest my sheep on yonder hill. :

Toll is over with the day;
Kneeling at my frugal board
Break the bread and bless the Lord.
Lord look on me and on us all,
and make US blest,
And send us rest, r.
At this and every evenfall!
All the day, afar from me,
They have wandered wild and free;
All the day followed still,
Rock to rock and hill to hill,
Calling down the gorges deep, ;
Come ye back, my wandering Sheep"
TIL at eve brought them home,
Safe In fold, no more to roam!
Lord, do thus much for me and all,
And when we stray
From Thy good way
Oh, fetch US home at evenfall!

which, as regards volume Of busi-
ness housekeeping speculation
and general prospects at the close,
has had few equals and no superi.
ors. Thus ends quite satisfactorily
a fiscal year, which, owing to smaller
crop yields, gave little promise at
its opening. No ground appears to
have been lost, but on the contrary
distinct gains over the best Of pre-
Nous years have been noted in many
lines. Profits may have been smaller,
but the volume of trade turned over
has about made up for this. Ex-
port trade in agricultural products
Is one Of the few lines to suffer in
comparison with previous years.
The price movement has been ir-
regular, in keeping with varying
weather conditions, as far as agri-
cultural products are concerned.
Cotton moved higher earlier On con-
tinued dry weather reports from
Texas and Louisiana, but rains At
the close Of the week in southern
Texas gave hopes of change here.
In cereals the features have been
the strength Of corn, ON reports Of
cold weather and the advance in oats,

within narrow limits, but the large
decreases in supplies have consti--
tuted balance 10 the quite favor

INTO his eyes.
TOO hot for our old friend, Mrs.

cropping into the seat beside her.
When Is your visit up?"
Beryl made no reply. He glanced at

were wet with tears.

George Augustus Sala In one Of his let

her. Well, you asked her to lunch, and
you caused very nice peach to be
served at dessert You cut the fruit
with golden knife. one side Of ths
blade of which was endued with a
deadly poison You presented the poi
soned half of the peach to the lady,
who ate it with much relish and then
dropped down dead.
The wholesome half you ate your
self and laughed in your sleeve and
went on slicing more peaches for the
ladies of whom you were Jealous till
you were found out and broken on the
wheel. Aye, there's the rub! What
high old times we might have. to be
sure, but for that plaguy contingency
of being found out!
