A Snug Fit.

An English tourist in the high
lands tells the following amusing
story. He was travelling one day
last summer by rail in the north of
Scotland, and at one of the stations
four farmers entered the train. They
were all big, burly men and com
pletely filed up the seat on the ons
side of the compartment. At the
next station the carriage door opened
to admit tall, cadaverous individ-
ual with about the girth of lamp
post. He endeavored to wedge him
self in between two of the farmers.
and finding it difficult operation, he
said to one of them: Excuse me,
sir, you must nave up bitl Each
seat is intended to accommodate five
persons, and according to act of par
lament you are only entitled to IS
inches of space" AYE, aye, my
FRIEND" replied the former, that's
a very guild for you that's been built
that way; but yet Gamma blame me if
I ha-enna been construckit according
to act of parliament" London

The historic Babu will have to look
to his laurels now that the educated
Kaffir" has entered the field. The
following is the text of letter sent
by a government employee who had
been officially rebuked for his intern
perate habits:
Having promulgated by conduct Of
drinking presumptuously, I beg to
tell me nominally the person in
formed you. Consulted by specu-
1ations, the case should be reprimand-
ed for the derogation of my name.
When you addressed your inspection
I perceived dishonest intermeddIing;
otherwise, am not controversial

to tell me; the matter is not to be
appreciated clandestinely, because it
was proclaimed publicly. Quickness

IF We COULD SEE.

If we could see beyond the veil
Upon the far-on future gaze
Our hearts. perchance, grown weak,
would quail,
/. Our spuls be filed with sore amaze.
= And nerveless for the present be,
If we could see!
If we could see beyond the veil
OF doubt that hides Presence bright,
The Face of Him Who will not fail
To guide US through the gloom of
night;
And Who through Death will set US
free,
If we could see!
If we could see beyond the veil,
Our swn, who loved us SO, and died,
Yet living still. our hearts assail
With whispers soft. unheard, outside;
The joys awaiting you and me,
If we could see!
If we could see beyond the veil
The veil Of wrong that darkly lies
Ger buried hopes we now beWa1ls
Familiar, fond, forgiving eyes
That look a pardon full and free.
If we could see!
If we could see beyond the veil
The veil of sorrow-that dear home
BY Love prepared-no idle tale
For which we long while here we
roam;
{. And nearer than 1t seems may be,
If we could see!
If we could see beyond the veil
The veil of flesh that lies between
Could hear the resurrection "Hail!'
Could see the valleys fair and green;
The treasures of Eternity,
If we could see!
