looked straight at Maggie, and then a
cry broke from his lips.
There. there, darling, don't cry"
said Miss Susan tenderly, as she lift
ed the child in her arms and crossing
to the old rocking chair began wrap
ping him in the warm couch cover,
rocking and grooming as she worked.
The woman in charge of the child
stood helplessly as though dazed, and
Maggie seeing it, pushed chair to
her and began removing her wet
wraps. This done, the little woman
rocked to and fro, ringing her hands
and talking in a low tone to herself.
Maggie, you get some hot tea. She
is sort of .dazed. That was an awful
FASH said Miss Susan. In few
moments Maggie was standing with a
steaming cup before the little woman.
Miss Susan with the child wrapped
warmly, now was singing slumber
song and the childs eyes were fixed
steadily upon her.
Il wonder how it came about?'
said Maggie, looking from the little
woman to the child nesting SO con-
tentedly.
Il think she lost her wits just for
the time" said Miss Susan, in low
tone, with a nod to the little woman
slipping her tea.
Miss Susan" faltered Maggie as
she looked from the child to the little
woman. Il think it is the Macarthur
nurse. This is little Abel Macarthur. /"
Miss Susan Strengthened.
Il never thought as to whom the
child belonged
Il am most sure it is the little Mac
Arthur boy" said Maggie, "and he is
named after his grandpa Abel"
The little child hearing his name
spoken lifted shis head, and looking
steadily into Miss Susan's face, said,
Are you nuver of my grandmas?"
mo, dear lamB, | am nobodys
grandma
you be my grandma" said the lit
tie fellow nesting down. Il loves
YOU
For answer Miss Susan held the boy
close, and tears dropped down her
face, and seeing them, Maggie turned
hastily as she murmured:
God finds his own way into hearts. Z

MY TRUNDLE BED.

AS l rummaged through the attic,
List'ning to the falling rain,
AS it battered on the shingles
And against the window pane;
Peering over chests and boxes
Which with dust were thickly spread
Saw | in the farthest corner
What was once my trundle bed.
So | drew it from the recess
Where it had remained so long,
Hearing all the while the music
OF my mothers voice in song;
AS she sung in sweetest accents
What | since have often read
FLUSH, my dear, lie still and slumber
Holy angels guard thy bed"
AS | listened, recollections
That l thought had been forgot
Came with all the gush of mem'ry,
Rushing, thronging to the spot;
And | wander back to childhood,
To those merry days of yore
When | knelt beside my mother,
By this bed upon the floor.
Then it was with hands so gently
Placed upon my infant head
That she taught my lips to utter
Carefully the words she said;
Never can they be forgotten,
Deep are they in mem'ry riven-
''Hallowed be, Thy name, 0 Father
Father! Thou who are in heaven.
Years have passed, and that dea1

FORM GOOD HABITS.

Habits are formed like masonry.
Every thought seems small, as every
brick seems small. And yet, l notice,
in the building that is going up behind
my dwelling, that, small as bricks are,
one by one being set in mortar day by
day, by skillful hands the wall thick
ems and rises and solidifies, and the
huge structure is piled up at La T.
Taken singly these bits of burnt q Ey
are of no great significance, but al of
them together are of tremendous sig
nificance. Now, a mans life is made
up of little thoughts, any one of which
is not much, but the multitude of
which are like bricks in the hands of
the builder. The walls of your char
acter are going up day by day, and
YOU are building, not alone for time
but for eternity.

BISHOP COULD STICK TYPE.
Called on The Portland Argus, Where
He Learned His Trade.
(By James A. Rooney, LL.D)

1--WE got a little item for your pa
per" said a. clerical-looking gentleman
to the editor of the Portland (Me),
Argus one day in the spring of 1860,
as he walked into the sanctum. Items
were meat and drink to the country
editor in those days, and are yet, for
that matter. From the cut of the WISH
tors garb this editor thought he had
some item of church news and taking
up his pencil he told his caller that he
would be glad to print anything he
might have to offer.
"Oh, I'm an old typo and I'll set it
up myself if you don't mind said the
visitor, and appearing not to notice
the editors amaZement, he sauntered
into the composing room. Finding an
unoccupied case and an empty stick,
he set up the item out of the case
without any copy. The boys in the
Office refrained from their usual guy
ing, for the manner of the clerically-
clad typesetter forbade any bandinage,
as he handled his stick and behaved
like one of the craft.
He was watching them out of the
corner of his eye, and when he had set
less than a stickful, he read the mat
ter over as he crossed the room to the
old-fashioned proof press, laid his
stick on the bed without dumping his
take on galley, linked it and pulled
proof He looked it over and found
it clean enough to submit to the edi-
tor This is how it read:
Among the visitors to our town to-
day is the Right Rev. Josue M. Young,
Catholic Bishop of Erie, Pa. He will
be in town for few days to renew
old acquaintance. AS a boy he learn
ed his trade as a printer in the Office
of the Argus, and by the kind permits.
sion of the editor it is he who has set
up this item to let old friends here
abouts know that he will be glad to
meet them. He is stopping at the
Catholic rectory."
Then he passed the smokes, return:
ed to the sanctum and laid the proof

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A THUNDERSTORM.

my, but that was a fash" Miss
Susan Barker moved closer to the
window, her face suffused by strange
excitement The girl in the blue ging-
ham, who was peeling apples, looked
at her with round, frightened eyes.
81 wish you'd have the shade drawn,
Miss Susan" she replied. 1T scares
me so when it gets that bright"
For answer Miss Susan turned and
looked through the window over the
wet landscape, and her eyes rested on
a house with a tall chimney appear
ing through the mist in the distance.
ct would serve the Macarthur s
right if that chimney was, struck with
lightning" she said. THAT chimney
shows what kind of folks live there. I
Maggie laughed.
CAS- though a chimney could do
that"
'Well, it does said Miss Susan.
"The MacArthurs think they own the
whole world. We little folks cannot
afford chimney like that"
For years Miss Susan had brooded
over wrongs in connection with the
MacArthurs, and she had grown into
the habit of resenting the tall chimney
that overlooked the treetops near her
window. 1t seemed always to strike
her heart with bitterness, and more
than once she had said,. Il would like
to live long enough to see the Lord S
lightning strike that chimney" And
now something of this she said to lit
tie Maggie, peeling the potatoes.
We'll, l am sure I'd hate to talk
about my enemies in a thunderstorm =
said the determined Maggie. 81 should
feel the lightning might strike me-
Miss Susans lips went together
firmly.
"Well, it does seem as though light
ming went where it was sent But it
will be that chimney of the Mac
Arthurs if lightning strikes around
here"

cred them with water, andt set them
aside in readiness when needed She
had heard a good deal about the Mac
Arthurs since she had come to live
with Miss Susan. 1t was matter OF
common talk in the village that the
fortune of the MacArthurs family had
grown out of deal made with Miss
Susan's father in which an unfair, il
not an Illegal advantage, had been
taken of the old Mr.. Barker's ignor

own Miss Susan Barker would feel a
slight inclination toward hoping some.
thing would happen to the MacAr.
thurs. For years she had brooded
over the trouble, but Mag gle knew
that there was more than 10 IS of the
property that troubled Miss susan.
Now she said little hesitatingly:
Everybody says, Miss Susan, that
| old Mr. Macarthur cheated your pa.
They say your father was so simple
| like after he had the fever"
Then she added hesitatingly:
"But Mr.. Macarthur has been dead
all these years, and his children are
not to blame for what he did,
Children can right wrong" said
Miss Susan sternly. But they enjoy
the fruits of ill-gotten gain, and think
little of how they might right them. 7
| AS this was said a peal of deafen-
ing thunder rolled over the little
house, standing back from the tall
elms that stood by the road running
along through the hollow. They
watched the trees swaying in the
wind, while black, threatening clouds
| blotted out sunshine and blue sky
Even as they looked, the rain smote
| the window pane furiously, and a
binding flash made Maggie jump
back with fright
ooh, Miss Susan" she gasped, edo
come away from that window, it isn't
safe"
She broke off her expostulation as
she realized that Miss Susan was
| drawing nearer to the window, and
was looking down the road with look
of apprehension.
1T cannot be that woman is going
to stop under the big elm,' she said.
"A child is with her. OF all things"
Even with the words Miss Susan
ran to the door, flung it open and
plunged into the storm. Maggie saw
| her make straight for the woman and
child and in few moments she had
| the little one in her arms and was
making for the house. Then it seem
ed to Maggie the foundations of the
world were broken up, as though the
crashing in her ear marked the final
catastrophe of the universe. She shut
her eyes. When she opened them,
Miss Susan was entering the room
with the child in her arms.
1T just beats all what folks will do
when their head goes wrong" said
Miss Susan breathlessly, as she laid
the child upon the couch and began
hastily to remove its wet clothing
1T is almost scared to death"
The child's eyes we're closed, and
the little face so appealed to Maggie
that she dropped down beside it.
"Oh, Miss Susan, suppose it would
not wake again!"
But even as she said this the little
lad opened a pair of blue eyes and
