Valentine laughed and leaned still
further out Of the window. She, for

the fair face worn by the world

Her father took of his gold.rimmed

when all our dreams and aims have
come to naught
And dark'ning clouds OF fear and doubt
assal;
when all in vain some comfort we have
sought
And all our friends and consultations
fail;
When sad-eyed, hcavy-lIdded sorrow
waits
Upon our souls. by poignant grief OPP
pressed.
Deeming ourselves accursed Of the Fates.
Who grant us neither happiness nor
rest
Thou CONTEST heaven-sent, with beaming
To raise us from the depths OF our de-
spair;
Thou bid'st us lift our chances to the sky,
When darknlng gloom stralghtway be-
cometh fair;
The morbid msts which wrapped our
souls around
Are quickly by thy influence dispelled;
Anticipated pleasures then abound
And all our fears and doubts are haply
quelled;
The lowring clouds their silver Innings
show.
The weary road that once appeared so
long
Each moment shorter to US seems to
grow,
Whilst all our signs are turned into
song.

A Novel Canal Lock.

A novel and unusually powerful Gle,

from one level to another is situated
at Henrichenburg, on the Dortmund.
Ems canal, in Germany II is capable
Of lifting a canal boat OF 500 tons bur.
dens a distance OF about fifty.two feet
in slightly over two minutes. The
elevator itself, that is the trough in
which the boat floats, Is about 229 feet
long and twenty.eight feet wide II is
raised by a 150-horse power electric
motor which rotates four vertical
threaded shafts, one Of which is a
threaded travelling block supporting
the trough. AS these shafts are turned
around by the motor the four blocks
are drawn up along their threads, and
carry the elevator along with them.
Five floats in a tank beneath the lock
on which the elevator rests balance
the weight Of the trough and the water
II contains, amounting in all to some
5000 or 1000 tons, so that the energy
expended in raising and lowering Is
little more than that required to over.
come the friction. The lock gates are
operated by electric motors. The
electric generating plant is situated
alongside the lock on the canal bank.

Mr.. Bromley Brown felt sudden

was entirely unable to utter a word.

"Ah, then you don't know each

friend whom | have often talked

speaker pointed toward a distant
view of a large white building miles
away beyond the grove Of pines.
"Estcourt, this Is Mr.. Bromley Brown,
one of my best neighbors."
Mr.. Brown felt as II some one had
struck him q violent blow on the
head.

voice came echoing from the garden,
and in another moment a young girl
ran into the room.

father miserably.
But there are no chickens! You

The parlor maid interrupted them
to say that some cold meat was ready
