laughed with JOY as he stepped aboard
his yacht, Water Witch, Homewarct
Bound.
Ger the Summer Sea was borne the
echo of The Convent Bell. The Star
of Hope had risen at Sing Sing on the
Hudson and as the vessel touched the
old stone pier Armadale knew the
Golden Gates of love would open of
their own accord.
Passing by Old Curiosity Shop he
heard Domboy and Son discoursing on
the Hard Times, and by the Shadows
on the Snow he saw The Haunted Man
gaze fearfully at The Cricket on the
Hearth. Just then Barnaby Rudge
came by leading Little Dorrit by the
hand who was crying for Bread and
Cheese and Kisses. Our Mutual Friend
left Armadale at the corner, and Alone
he entered the haunted Chamber where
Cleopatra Repented at Leisure. In the
Old Arm Chair she reclined, a vision
sweet of Blue Eyes and Golden Hair.
"My Queen" said her husband folding
her to his breast. 81 Shall Never Be
Happy Again." she sobbed. "Now
Don't Be Angry With Me Darling"
he whispered "for I'll be All Smiles
Tonight, now Loves Conflict Is Over.
In the Golden Days of the future We
Two-will wander by The Blue Alsatian
Mountains, where the ox-eyed daisies
bloom, or lying on the fair banks of
Old Father Thames we'll watch the
moonlight mellow on the stream"
Then Shandon Bells were ringing;
Our Mutual Friend was bringing Kith
and Kin all robed in silk attire. There
were Charlie O'Malley and Harry Lore
quir, Mrs. Geoffry and Phyllis, both of
them Beauty's Daughters. Monica
and Donovan stood under the Mistie-
toe while Airy Fairy Lillian fitted here
and there with The Heir of Lynn.
Shirley in alluding to The Bag of Dia-
monds, whispered to The Professor,
"What Will He Do With It?" "Put
Yourself in His Place." said The
Grumbler, who overheard the remark.
Just then The Old Clock on the Stairs
chimed the hour of midnight. Arma-
dale placed the Chaplet of Pearls
around the swan-like throat of Lady
Audley, and twined the coronet of
diamonds in her golden hair. SIT is no
! longer A Dead Secret" said he bowling

How 1t Feels to Die.

THE phenomena of death ever
held for man an interest and
fascination unequalled by any
other of the great changes
Nature displays with so lavish
hand. Science ventures the assertion
that it is painless at least as much so
as birth-the babe having practically
no consciousness at that particular
period, but is still capable of sensation.
AS consciousness and sensation are so
closely allied in conception, the idea
might become more clearly defined, if
one were to try and imagine the falling
and crashing of some huge pine, say
twenty miles distant. The sound
the vibration from the impact-ra-
dates to certain limit, according to
its force, but does not reach the listen
er's ear. So as in birth, in death-lack
of consciousness probably intervenes,
thus saving the individual from end
less suffering. So far the concensus Of
opinion rules. Beyond that specula-
tion enters the arena of thought, and
pictures the Mohammedan's paradise
peopled with voluptuous houris who
continually regale themselves on milk
and honey; the golden strand, on whose

Old, old, the life behind her lay
Like long country full of light;
She gaZed there with the inner eye,
For round her here was falling night,
But turned across her path to see
What lovely splendOr crowned the height!
And as the Fates once trod on wool.
All sounds came muffied to her ears,
Yet still her fancy heard the tune
OF bubbling laughs, of frolic fears,
OF tender whispers in the dusk,
Grown tenderer because of tears.
The gay sweet spirit in her felt
The joyous movement of the dance,
Albeit her faltering feet refused
The tripping measure. If perchance
She sang. alas the sad old voice
Was like one singing in a trance.
SO fresh, so strong in all her thought
That, by the cruel mirror spelled,
Or in the glass of young girls eyes,
1t seemed phantom she beheld
Masqued with gray shadows of gray lines,
Enchanted in shape OF eld.
And knowing then the soul in her
Swelled, ever swelled with fine increase
And essence of immortal youth;
So she possessed that soul in peace,
And sat the slow bright summer day,
Smiling and waiting her release.
