In glancing over an English pa
per recently we noticed a small ar
ticle, which though it consisted of
but few words, was very concise,
and fraught with a great moral les
son. 1t seems that an old woman
caretaker of an ancient castle was
showing "a visitor around. when
pointing to large oil painting of a
gentleman she said: That is Sir
Robert; he lived in the country,
took care of his money, bought and
paid for this estate; managed well,
saved money, and died rich. That
is his son; he was made lord, took
place at court, spent his estate
and died beggar.''
Truly he layeth up riches, but
he knoweth not who shall gather
them"

Now that John r.. Walsh is in his
grave number Of the papers seem
to consider it their duty to take a
final rap at him. He sinned, paid
the penalty and died miserably a
few short days after his release from
prison. His life was not all bad,
there were many good things in it.
He was never convicted of crime
but once, and surely if the papers
can find nothing good to say of him,
they should have the good grace to
let him rest in peace.

SOME four years ago there was an
exhibition in newspaper Office in
Guayaquil, Ecuador, (the Diaro del
Commercial book containing a
sketch of the life of a prisoner, who
had spent number of years in the
Galapagos Islands, where until re-
Gently, Ecuador maintained penal
settlements. The book was COM
posed by himself, and as he was al
lowed neither pencil, pen nor scis-
sors, he had accumulated all the
papers and books there were to be
had and then with his finger nails he
cut from them the desired words
and letters and carefully pasted them
in their proper order on the leaves
of small note book. the whole
comprising some sixty or seventy
pages. The story was concise and
intensely interesting and en- d d
with cheerful little po m adj
dressed to his wife.
The book required several years
work before it was finished, but the
prisoners efforts were not wasted
for it was the means of restoring
him to liberty. It was found on his
person by searching party one day
and was taken to Guayaquil where
it aroused so much interest that the
authorities concluded he was too
good man to waste his talents on
a desert island and pardoned him.
After remaining in the possession
of the editor of the aforementioned
paper for some time, the book was
finally restored to the author, ard
his happiness was complete.

Sweet Hope went singing by my side,
Throughout the summer day;
But fear came in the wintery night
And stole my sleep away.
| walked to mourn--the moonbeams fell
Where Hope lay cold and dead,
And as knelt to weep and pray,
Fear turned and wildly fled.
Since then, nor hope. nor fear,
Is to my spirit known,
But in my soul the angle Peace
Dwells silent and alone.
With dove-like grace she folds her wings,
A bleeding heart above,
And turns revengful thoughts aside
With her deep eyes of love.
