REJOICING OVER ELECTION.

The Nonconfornists have felt that their share
IN the remarkable political upheava1 in January

Querer- 10 other Free Church man has been
equally powerful in massing the Nonconformtst

clergy are holding meetings in defence OF denom-

bishops are urged to make strenuous fight for
the principle that education shall not be di-

Many winters ago, IN an old country house, a
little girl gave a tea party for three playmates.
After the children had finished their 'tea" and
were popping corn around the huge fireplace a
sudden thought struck Lovice. the little hostess.
She tptoed over to mother. and after a hasty
whispering announced gleefully:
Mother says you can stay all night and we
can all sleep together"
The little girls looked their delight. but Obedi-
ence gained the day. and Elizabeth, the Oldest
said reluctantly:
Mother said we must come home at g."
Loyice's face showed her disappointment, till
mother said:
That's right. Beth I'm glad you're so care
3ul 10 obey your mothers wishes, but John shall
take note 10 your mother and she will be will
1ng. I'm sure"
Four little faces lighted up with smiles. and
Iilly, the smallest one. piped out:
Can he bring our nighties too?"
Sh!"-Elizabeth tried 20 look prim and dig
fiiled by drawing down the corners Of her rose
bud mouth.
III see to all that" said mother, laughing
The children returned IN high spirits to the
delights Of popped corn and puss-in-the-corne
until the clock struck 8.
oh can't We stay up just a little lOnger?"
begged Lovice.
Half an hour later little procession OF sleepy
eyed children climbed the wide stairs and went
Slowly down the long. dark hall, which seemed
very strange and eerie when viewed by the
Pickering light of Lovice's candle Into the
shadows, went the little girls with shivers OF
cold and what they called q 'scare-y feeling
The wind howled dismally around the house and
The children jumped when door slammed some
where downstairs. Suddenly from the church
sang out the 8 o'clock bell, and they felt very
oissipated and 'grown-up' to be awake at such
late houri
Soon four little whiteclad figures climbed
into the big four poster which mother had made
up crosswise that four tiny girls could lie side
by side Four heated bricks, wrapped in paper
and flannel, were slipped between the sheets to
make a warm spot for forty chilly little toes.
Then mother kissed them tucked them in and
Sook away the candle. How dark it wasi AS
ner footsteps died away along the hail. each
little girl felt another shivery little hand come to
meet hers. and so they .cuddled up together and
forgot the dark and the whistling winter wind

Twelve O'Clock! The wind fairly shrieking
IN the old chimney and the moon hidden in
the clouds.
