signs only when the in1rmities OF age

OF independence. An English paper
tells a story illustrative of this.
A lady's coachman, a crusty old fel-
low. who had been in the service Of
the family in her fathers time, gave
her great trouble and annoyance on
several occa sfons by not carrying out
her instructions. At length bis conduct

ed TO dismiss him. Calling him into
her presence. she said with as much
asperity as she could command:
Il cannot stand this any longer, John
You must look out for another situa-
ton You wifi leave my service ut the
END of the month"
The old servant looked at her In
amusement for minute, and then the
characteristic loyalty" came to the
surface.

you to the kirk to be baptized l drove
you 10 your marriage and I'll stay to
drive you 10 your funeral"
