Meanwhile the old man in the next

conscious Of what was going on so
near him. Presently the young man
arose, left the girl, entered his fathers
room and began to talk to him. The
fathers face was turned sidewise, so
that could see his expression. From
interest it passed to wonder and from
wonder to pleasure, but before either
of the first two expressions died q
smile dawned on the fathers lips.
Then the son went back and brought

far different from when she and his

kiss. He smiled on her benignly. The

The Merchants Dream.

Last evening was talking
With merchant aged and gray,
when he told me Of dream he had,
think twas Christmas Day.
While snoozing in his Office
This vision came to view;
For he saw an angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and new
Said the angel, PIP from heaven:
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory
And put on your golden crown.
You've been friend to every one,
And worked hard, night and day:
You've supported many thousands
And from few received your pay.
SO we want you up in glory.
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward. -
Then the angel and the merchant
Started up towards glory's gate;
But when passing close to hades
The angel murmured wait
I've place wish 10 show you:
It's the hottest place in Hell.
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment forever DWELL"
And behold the merchant saw there
His old patrons by the score.
And grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more.
He desired to sit and watch them
AS they'd sizzle, SINCE and burn:
And his eyes would rest on debtors.
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the angel, "Come on merchant,
There are pearly gates to see."
But the merchant only muttered.
"This is Heaven enough for me .

Why Meersch colors.

In forming pipe or cigar holder
the meerschaum is prepared for the op-
Grafton by soaking in composition OF
wax, oil and fats. The wax and oil
absorbed by the mineral are the cause
of the color produced by smoking. The
heat of the burning tobacco causes the
wax and fatty substances to pass
through the stages of dry distilla-
ton, and these, becoming mixed with
the product Of the distillation Of the
tobacco (nicotine), are diffused through
the substance of the pipe or holder,
giving those gradations OF tint which
are so highly priced.

June, recalls the fact that nearly all
Of the minor colleges in the state have
men now on the faculties who have
been connected with the institutions
for nearly as long period, and are
worthy of the Carnegie pension. One
man, in point ohrdlu mfrdwl rdlu
man, in length of service, exceeds the
record of Dean Culrier by four years.
William King has been president Of
Cornell college at Mt. Vernon since
1852, during which time he has stamp
ed the impress Of his personality on
the thousands OF students who have
passed thru Cornell, among them be-
ing Leslie NJ. Shaw, the retiring secre-
tary Of the treasury. who was a stu

D. Sands Wright, of the State Nor

that institution for more than thirty
years. l.. F. Parker another pioneer
