THE LESSON OF THE LEAVES.

The autumn lay in glory on the slopin' of
the hills
All so fancy-rcd an yellow, gold an
brown
As II a mighty cvenin' tide was scttlin'
DER the rills,
An the sun a-sheddln' lights a-goin'
down.
oh. the rustlin' of them leaves
AS they fell from of the trees.
A-dancin' an II prancin to the music Of
the breeze;
An our hearts a-keepin' time
To the laughin' of the rhyme
A-listcnin' to the rustlin' of them leaves.
VIA the glory round she whispered to me
sayin' | was dear,
An talked gcntle-like an prctty-like
an true,
Bout our love bcin' all bright colors like
the mountains strctchin' near,
with the grace of God Ntouchin' every
hue.
OH, the ruutlin' of them leaves
As we walked among the trees,
h-blowin' an tip-toein' to the singin' of
the breeze,
And we two fondly dreamin'
or the days so swcet-liko scemin'-
A-lIstenin' to the rustlin' of them leaves.
An while the autumn on the hills was
yet a-luokln grand,
An time so happy passin' quick along.
A shadow sudden 'pcarcd to come an
cover all the land,
An fallin' on my heart put out It's song
oh. the rustlin' of them leaves
Az I prayed beneath the trees,
Begged the angels send IA hope a-soundln'
on the breeze:
AZ DER my darlin' bendin'
I fought the death i%mpendin'-
A-listcnin' to the rustlin' Of them leaves.
But when the day was CROWN dim she
said, low-likc to me:
I'm eoin', love, long with the sunset
tide.
A-crossin' of the Bar-its shirnmerin's
An the mornin' light upon the othe'
side"
Oh, the rustlln' OF them leaves,
'Bovc the graves beneath TN" trees,
Like whispcrin's Of ~ blossin' from 8
spirit in the breeze;
While from DER the cvcnin hill
Come the echo-"Pcacc. he still."-

THE BISHOPS
az BEARD. -
10y &. SEWELL..


nDARDON me-" said the quiet man
in the corner, suddenly, Il am
about to make u singular request"
DR.. Bigworth, bishop OF Steadmin-
ster, put down his paper and stared
h|auehtily over his spcctaclc9 at his
v~is-a-vis. He made it q rule never to
enter into conversation with strangers
on Il long railway journey. Generally
speaking, he didn't even doign to no
tice their existence; but on this occa-
sion he had remarked, with Il feeling
as much akin to irritation - his Su-
pcIior code permitted, that the mar
vino sat opposite possessed a ioNllG
beard of quite unusual length and OK
IRENE Stiffness.
Now, DR.. Bigworth's solitary weak
ness happened to be pride in his beard
hence the luminosity. 1t certainly
was a sinyularly handsome me. So
cicty papers devoted whole paragraphs
to it's honor. 1t had become as much
a part of his personality as the collars,
orchids aud eyeglasses that are from

celebrities.
That a strangcr-and a somewhat
sccdy stranger TO boot-shouid pre-
sumo to exhibit such a possession, too,
was something in the nature Of a lib
erty. No wonder, therefore, that the
bishop had locked more severe and re-
prcssivc than usual.
Truth to tell, he was not in the best
of tempers that morning. He had
risen at six and swallowed his coffee
and egg hurriedly by gas-light, to the
accompaniment of suppressed yawns
from a very sleepy butler; and there
Is something 30 utterly lacking In dig

But he had pressing business in Lon
he had left Mrs. Bishop snoring peace
fully, and had %ensconced himself in the
corner of an empty first-class, hoping
as there was no stop for two hours
for privacy. And then just at the last
minute an apologize guard had hustled
In this man with the beard and
slammed the door.
Naturally, when he ventured tc
speak, the bishop surveyed him with
chilling d%isapproval.
Indeed, sir?" he said. cOldly, In re-

in the corner did not follow UP his
