Compensation.

A sad little teardrop Rolled out from her eye, And after it followed A sob and a sigh. And then something happened, Perhaps twas kiss, But a glad smile appeared, Bringing comfort and bliss. While the tear paused a while On the side of her face. It was caught by the smile In a happy embrace. As the sun dries the rain On a warm summer day, So the smile held her close Till she vanished away.

that Mr.. Bryan was selected to fill
his place. Naturally. Mr.. Bryan felt
some nervousness, knowing that he
was to act as a substitute for an
older and much better known
speaker, and his apprehension was
not lessened when he heard himself
thus announced by the chairman:

The Traitors Gun.

Among the treasures which adorned

china saucer-the memorial. accord
ing to the author of Edinburgh I'm
der Sir Walter Scott" of a striking
incident in the domestic life of Scott's
father and mother.
One autumn Mr.. Scott, senior. had
a client who came regularly every
evening at a certain hour to the
house, and remained in his private
room usually long after the family
had gone to bed.
The little mystery of the unknown
visitor excited Mrs. Scott's curiosity.
and her husbands vague statements
increased it. One night, therefore.
although she knew it was against her
husbands desire, she entered the
room with salver in her hand, and
offered the gentleman a dish of tea.
Mr.. Scott very coldly refused it,
but the stranger bowed and accepted
cup. Presently he took his leave.
Then Mr.. Scott seized the empty cup
and threw it on the pavement His
wife was astonished at first, but not
when she heard the explanation.
II may admit into my house, on
business, persons wholly unworthy to
be treated as guests of my wife.
Neither lip of me or of mine comes
after Mr.. Murray, of Broughtons."
1t was actually the traitor, Secre-
tary Murray, who bought off bis life
and fortune by giving evidence
against his gallant Jacobitea associates.

later there came violent thunder

will be paneled in blue silk. In the

writing, provided with a solid silver

Executive a penny, but will be paid
