 The old parsonage was rebuilt and studded with bay windows and medic val porches. Laurels and rhododen- drons were set out In the grounds; the little brook was bridged over with rus tic woodwork-and Joanna Fox and Miss Woodin came there to live In modest comfort.
 But Mrs. Lockedge and her son Simon moved out of Foxville when the mortgage on their old place was fore closed, and the place that had known them once knew them no more.
 And Mrs. Emmons said

Emigration from this country con tinues at an astonishing rate. Depar- lures for the month of May numbered T5,345. The total emigration for the first five months of the calendar year amounted to G1s,36S, and for the first eleven days of June there was an addi- tion of % ,2S3. Immigration was very much smaller, the total for the i've months being but 166,513, and this strange condition of affairs comes soon after the fiscal year that gave us the largest immigration in our history. In the one month of May, 1907, the immi- grafton was considerably greater than the returns for the five months Of this year. The immigration for May, 1906, was 15o.e0T. There Is always emigra- ton as well as immigration, but for the first five months of 1907 1t was only 114.137. or 204,231 less than the fig ures for this year. In contrast with this years increase there Is a decrease In immigration for the same period Of more than 400.000. The cause of the change Is, of course, the depression in business, following upon time of e1- traordinary prosperity, but this general explanation leaves much to be desired. While we agree with those who say that what has happened Is remark able exhibition of automatic regulation, it would be interesting to know the req sons that are effective in many individ- ual cases. Manifestly the emigrants can hardly be the poorest of their kind, since the poorest are not likely to have the means to travel. Furthermore, the prospects are not so bright in Europe as to be altogether alluring. The emi- grants should carry considerable capi- tai with them to support them after they return home. But even If the poorest remain It would seem that the effect of this outflow must be to ease the competition in the labor market, and there is no expectation that there will be any reversal of the present tendencies for some time to come. Il Is said that the steamship companies believe that the emigration will con- tinue in large stream, and also that owing to the changed conditions. the i'm migration officials have found 1t neces- sary to reduce the number of their em, ployes.

There was a great commotion in Fo1v!lle when old Parson Fox died. It was not only because he was the pioneer of the place, having come there when the woods were one primeval mass of green, and himself having erected the old stone parsonage, around which the thriving village had grown up with almost incredible rapidity. It was not that he had preached the Cos pei to them for forty-and-four years 1; t was not that his foosteps had been constantly on every threshold where sickness came or sorrow brooded.
 All this had been received as . mat ter of course, and forgotten as soon as the necessities were past. But 1t was because Foxville curiosity was on the qui vive about Joanna, his grandchild, the sole remaining blossom on the gnarled old family tree, who was left quite unprovided for.
 "She hain't got no common sense" " said Sablna Sexton, the village dress maker: and never had"
 There's no denyin' that the old min ister was as near saint as we often see in this world" said Mrs. Luke Lock edge, piously.

CHILDREN IN NEW ZEALAND.
Their Welfare Looked After with
 Care by the Government.

Their Welfare Looked After with
 Care by the Government.
 "New Zealand is ahead of all coun- tries in the world In the way It looks out for the welfare of children, as I found out in a recent extended sojourn in that country" said George T. Trainor, a retired California capital list, to a Baltimore American man.
 Tn the first place, boys and girls who are homeless or do not receive the right kind of parental care are taken in charge by the superintendent of ed- cation. He Sees that they get both mental and industrial instruction in the government schools and also finds homes for them in respectable famil- les, the government paying for the child's maintenance unless Its service cancels the cost of board. If boy Is apprenticed his earnings are turned over to the minister, who deposits them, and in later years gives the ac. crued savings to the owner.
 "School children are the special pets of the government and whenever they have a distance to go they are carried to and from school free of charge, which is easy, as the government owns the railroads. Biz. central schools are established in preference to numerous small ones and boys and girls who live within a twenty -ive-mile radius are brought to the school-house and car ried home daily. In summer special trains are put on to take the country children to the cities and the city chill dren for outings In the country, so that each may learn something of differ ent kind of life-a policy that broaden the education of the young folks and adds immensely to their happiness.
 "The philanthropy of the New Zea, land system is further shown in for bidding children under 14 to work in stores, factories or on farms, since be- tween the ages of and 14 the law says they must attend school. Nor are girls and women allowed to labor In any place where the occupation is of sort detrimental to their health."

THE LURE OF BoYHooD SCENES

Farewell to the marts of commerce, Adieu to the fight for fame; For I've gathered myself q fortune And bu!lded myself q name. I'm tired of the city's torments, Its chatter. and rush, and blare; Days blurred and murky and gloomy Nights that are only ( glare; Weary of gray walls, sentinel-like, That stand like 6 waiting foe To shut you in with the dust and din And grime of the street below. So here's to the scenes of boyhood, Upland and meadow and dale, Each with its harvest of memories Sweet as a nursery tale. For want to see the sun rise, And I want to see it set;
 And to get away
 Where the light of day
 Has the old-time splendor yet; Where the green hills kiss the heavens And the woods are full of song.
 And the meadows croon
 To the summer moon
 In an ecstasy all night long! The Bohemian.

 When she got home, she found one of the trustees of the church await l ing her. He didn't wish to hurry her. he said; but the new clergyman didn't want to live in such a rulnous old | place and It was their calculation, as the parsonage was mortgaged much be- yond Its real value, to sell 1t and buy 6 new house near the railway station, with all the modern conyeniences, for the use of the Reverend Si1as Speak 1 well.
 So Joanna, who could think of no re maining friend but her old governess, who had long ago gone to London to fight the great world for herself, went there, too, and appealed to Miss Woodin | In her extremity; and Miss Woodin cried over her. and kissed her and ca ressed her, like an old maiden aunt.

 Because 1 owe everything to her." said the young authoress, gratefully.
 And, one day, glancing over the pa pers in the sanctum of The Ladies' Weekly, to whose columns she still con- tributed, she came across a copy of the Foxville Gazette.
 Hester" she said, hurryins home to Miss Woodln, "the old parsonage is to be sold by auction tomorrow, and mean to go and buy 1t For I am quite quite sure that could write there better than anywhere else in the world"
 Miss Woodin agreed with Joanna. Miss Woodin believed firmly in what ever Joanna believed. In her loving eyes the successful young writer was always right.
 | So Joanna Fox and Miss Woodin. dressed in black and closely yelled, went to Foxville to attend the auction sale.
 Everybody was there. They didn't have an auction sale at Foxville every day in the week.
 Squire Barton was there, with a vague idea of buying the old place for a public entertainment center.
 But Simon Lockedge was most deter mined of all to have the old parsonage for his own.
