We Have Done With Tears and
Troasons.
Here is a letter from Arentag" ~
peated the Doctor to his wife, who
was just entering the room. Come,
Ava, and listen to what she has to
say" Then Cornella read aloud the
following words:
MY Dear Friend Cornelia: II to-
day could walk down Maiden Lane,
If to-day / could see you and talk to
you, l should imagine myself in hea-
ven. For as to this city, l think that
in hell the name of Paris must have
spread itself far and wide. Do you
remember our learning In those happy
days at Bethlehem OF the slaughter
of Christians by Nero? Very well;
right here in the Paris of Marat and
Robespierre, you may hear constantly
the same brutal cry that filed the
Rome of the Caesars-"Death to the
Christians!" Famine, anarchy, muir
der, are everywhere, and live from
moment to moment, trembling If a
step comes near me.
"As to religion, there Is no longer
any religion. Everywhere the AL
mighty is spoken of as the ''soi-disant
God" The monarchy is abolished, and
yet so ignorant are the leaders of the
people, that when Brissot mentioned
the word Republic in Petion's house,
Robespierre said with grin, "Repub-
lie! Republic! What's a republic?"
Spying, and fear, and death penetrate
into the most private houses; above
all, fear, constant fear of every one
with whom you come In contact.
Il have told you the truth about our
condition, because have Just had a
letter from my father, and he talks of
leaving his business in Claos Bergen's
care, and coming here to look after
me. You must convince him that he
could do me no good whatever, and
that he might do me much harm. Tell
him not to fear; Arenta says, not to
fear. While Minister Morris is here
I have a friend that can do all that
can be done.
ASK our good Domino to pray that
l may soon return to q country where
God reigns. Never again do l wish
to spend one minute in place where
there is no God; for whatever they
may call that place, its real name is
hell.
"Arenta, Marquise de Tounnerre."
Poor Arenta!" said the Doctor
when CoTnelia had finished the
wretched epistle. Suppose that you
go and see Van Ariens and give him
all the comfort you can"
Cornelia crossed the street and was
going to knock at the door, when Van
Ariens hastily opened it. When Cor
nelia told him her errand, he was in
hurry of loving anxiety to hear what
his child had written.
81 understand" he said, when he
had heard the letter. "She is fright
ened, the poor little one! But she
will smile and say 1T Is nothing How
ever, yet think must go to her"
do not" urged Cornelia. You may
see by Arenta's letter, that she does
not, fear the guillotine. Come over
tonight and talk to my father and
mother"
well then, l will come"
Then he took both Cornelia's hands
in his and looking earnestly at her
said:
Poor Rem! Impossible is it,"
quite impossible, sir" she an

ply, and let her hands drop. In an

NEW BRITISH CABINET.
Hon. Alfred LyttIeton Succeeds secre.
tary Chamberlain,

London, Oct. 6.-The three weeks
cabinet crisis has ended in ma"ner
more remarkable and dramatic than
that of it's inception. Mr.. Balfour's
new ministry affords measure of the
enormous difficulty he has mad to con-
tend with in the task of reconstruc-
ton. and it's composition sens to indi-
cate that the premier himself can have
little belief of it's durability. The
most sanguine supporters OF the gov
eminent express the smallest hopes of
such an administration living many
months and the prevalent idea is that
there will be a general election be-
fore parliament reassembles. The new
cabinet is composed as follows:
Mr.. Brodrck. secretary for India ;
Austen Chamberlain. chancellor of the
exchequer; Alfred Lyttelton. sacre-
tary for the colonies; H. 0. Arnold
Foster secretary of war; Graham
Murray. secretary for Scotland; Lord
Stanley. postmaster general.
The withdrawal of the Duke of
Dcvonshire is heavy blow Had he
remained the government might pos
sibly have survived another parlia-
mentary session by avoiding legisla-
ton dealing with the fiscal problem.

The Origin Of Typography.

About century ago an artist named
Cranch was standing one day in front
Of fire in his home ut Administer.
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch that
this expansc Of wood might be i'm
proved by little ornamentation. He
picked up the poker. heated it red hot
and began to sketch in bold design.
The result pleased him so much that
he elaborated his work and began to at
tempt other fire pictures on panels Of
wood. These met with ready sale,
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning of
what is ROW known as typography.
The poker artist Of today uses many
different shaped tools and has special
furnace in which they are kept heated.
The art has been elaborated greatly.
The knots. curls and fibers of the wood
are often worked into the design and

witnessed the shooting, and started in

Hayes, who was formerly school

he shot Christman in self-defense,

a club. The threshers say Christman
had only a lath in his hand. The
trouble is said to have started over a
young woman who was employed at
the farm. 1t appears that Lewis had
written her a love letter, which she
indiscretely showed Christman. who
in turn revealed the contents to the

the latter ''guyed" Lewis unmerci-
