And is this death that comes with hectic flush
And sobbtng breath to her who long defied
His sbafts?-sO long we needed not the slow
Decline that marked the nearing end.

How little OF life's cycle do we seel
How often DO we shrink from what is only
o sad-eyed. patient death Not King OF Ter.
rors thou,
But gentle herald from the Silent Land
To lead us through the gates of sorrow
To that larger life OF perfect peace and love,
Not all the flowers from loving hands can
cheer
The lonely tomb but. flashing back the blaze
From Calvary's broken sepulcher. the grave
A chapel where the soul draws near to God.
We could not wish thee back, for through our
tears
We see the heavens opened. May thy rest be
sweet.
AS sunset shadows slant across our path.
How often shall we miss thy kindly councils
And in the thick OF earth born conflicts
Yearn tor a true hearted friend. Forgetting
self,
To do for others was thy constant Joy.
Thou didst never seek a fight nor, craven,
Flee one. Tenderest of mothers love like
thine
Can find its last fulfillment only
In the place of all.perfection.
That was denied thee here, in largest meas
ure
Be thy portion now.

to write for them. The fee was a shil-

shilling between them they agreed to
have a joint letter written to the wo-

Two old hunters were swapping
yarns and had got To quail.
"Why." said one. Il remember a
year when quail were SO thick that
you could get eight or ten at shot"
The other one sighed.
"What's the matter?" said the first.
81 was thinking of my quail hunts. l
had fine black horse that | rode ev-
srywhere, and one day out hunting
quail l saw big covey on a low
branch of a tree. threw the bride
rein over the end of the limb and took
a shot. Several birds fell, and the rest
flew away. Well, sir, there were so
many quail on that limb that when
they flew off it sprang back into place
and hanged my horse"

Where She Differed From Paul.

A Scotch clergyman called upon a
parishioner, an old woman who was
not possessed with many virtues, but
who possessed a very varied assert
ment of vices. He took the latter as
a text for a sermon and spoke to her
at considerable length upon the sub
ject. concluding with some extracts
from one Of st. Paul's epistles which
he felt to be apropos.
She didn't speak for several minutes
after he had finished. and he thought
that he had made an impression upon
her at last. He was mistaken, how
ever, for she suddenly turned round
with the remark: "Humphl That's
just where Paul and l have differed
these ten years."
The argument was not continued.
