A happily married woman who had
enjoyed 33 years of conjugal felicity,
and who was the grandmother Of
three beautiful children, had jovial
old colored woman for cook.
One afternoon, which proved to be
the mistress birthday, beautiful box
of flowers was left for her, when the
cook happened to be present. Mandy
eyed the beautiful roses longingly.

for the king as the everlasting hills,

grandeur.
Suddenly a horses hoofs rang down

clattered at gallop into the yard and
across the front of the soldiers, and
every one in the agitated company
saw that the man reeling in his sad
