of the laws delay than by defending

ANGELS.

ANGELS.
Margaret e. SanSstev.
In the old days God sent his angels oft
To men in threshing floors, to women
pressed
With daily task; they came to tent and croft
And whispered words of blessing and OF
rest.
Not mine to guess what shapes those angels
wore,
Nor with what voice they spoke, nor with
what grace
They brought the dear love down that ever
more
Makes lowliest souls it's best abiding place,
But in these days I know my angels well;
They brush nay garments on the common
way.
They take my hand and very softly tell
Some bit Of comfort for nay weary day.
And, though their angels names do not ken.
Though in their faces human love / read,
They are God-given to this world of men;
God sent to bless it in It's hour of need.
Child, mother, wife-brave hearts that take
The rough and bitter cross, and help us bear
Its heavy weight when strength is like TO
break
God bless you all, our angels unaware!

Romance of a Statue.

The statue of Charles /. which now
stands in London was sold TO brazier
during the commonwealth with the I'M
Outstanding that it should be broken
up. The buyer. however. saw chance
to make money and buried it instead.
To cover his action he made a large
number OF bronze knives and forks,
which were eagerly bought by both
royalists and Puritans as souvenirs.
When the monarchy was restored to
power the statue was dug up again
and bought by the government to lie
placed in its present position, where 1t
has remained since 1874

Dear Aunt Madee:
ON my way from Yarmouth to Smiths Cove
yesterday I couldn't help taking notice of the
forest We passed, either through or beside of,
and thought how glad we Pasade mans would
be having such a source of fuel supply near
home. Even If we could cut out only the dead
trees, we might be able TO bring down the
price of fuel, which is very high with us.
o, If we could only move some portions of
the surface Of this earth very near other
portions, We could more easily break up the
trusts, dispensing cheer and comfort where
most needed And, yet, it might not be best
after all. Who knowss
From the one window of my room here in
the farmhouse can see and hear two daily
trains when they go by. They pass between
this house and the shore. And there are also
two country roads between this house and the
shore, running parallel; and now hear the
tinkling of a bell on a single OK drawing q
two-wheel cart, with man and big cask in
it, along the nearer of these two roads. And
the man says: .."Gidap, hubuck."
To the postoffice mentioned in a former
letter go again to-day. The postmaster, over
ninety years old, is also mail carrier to and
from Bear River station. On returning home
meet the one-ox cart, cask and man. The
eask is filled with water, on the surface of
which dances a wooden pail The man is
about three rods ahead of his OK, and carries a
CAD over his right shoulder. From the upper
end of the CAD bangles a half inch wide
