O. u lull and com- plete_ line of She remembered the stolen inter- views, the sacrifices he had made. the nights he had devoted to wander- ing past her beautiful home, the thrilling pressure of asinless hand that had exalted his soulllike a star to the skies. She remembered how he wept in her presence, and how he had naked her not to foreake him; how he had pleaded for a little of that. aympnthy which she could [so easily spare.â€" and last night,â€"oh, lust night.-â€"â€"if she could only recall last night-- bnt no ; it was gone, and forever. “ No, no, Margery, don’t be alarm- ed. your dream is certainly not a reality. He knows you do not care for himâ€"that his love is wasted on you.” What was it that led her to turn her {corsteps to the right, and cross the next street, and hurry in the op- posite direction lrom her home ? was it a memory, or was it an inspir- ation? She journeyed on. She remembered the morning when first they met. when he looked wist- fully into her sweet and lovely eyes, and knew that he loved her. She remembered the beautiful night. the starlit summer night, . when the rustling leaves sang songs of love, and when they had stood together for one immortal moment with only love between; when she saw his passionate heart, the truest heart in all the world, lying like a conquered thing beside her feet. The Speaker had forgotten thst the fires of love were divine and deathless fires, and that, although they burn dim for a time, yet, when once they are kindled they never can be quenched. The clock struck nine. “ I’m going. Ethel.” “ I’ll go with you I” But. before she could turn, the door quickly opened. and the young girl was gone into the night. “Hush, hush, Margery, darling, don’t worry, there’s no danger. Re. member he has spoken to us since the letter went back Why, he wrote to you and thanked you for a poem-â€" a proposal, I think, he called it,â€" you remember,â€"â€"he thought you had sent it, but you hadn’t.â€"-then again we wrote to him after that memora- ble night when he 'delivered the remarkable address,-â€"you know how pleased he was,”-and the young girl’s mind went reflecting back to the pale thin young orator, an exile from all religions, pleading for a universal sympathy among humanity and holding, by his darling and, spirit-stirring eloquence, the vast gathering at the great cathedral, in the hollow of his hand' “Leave meâ€"alone.” “ Why? Margery.” “Oh, Ethel, I’ve had such a dream.” “ About what, love? " “ A‘bout,â€"-but why do you enquire. â€"aboutâ€"O Ethel, what have we done? I saw him as plainly as I see you now,-â€"his e3, es met mine.-â€"they looked love,â€"he asked me to forgive him. There washothing to forgiveâ€" nothingâ€"nothingâ€" and then his eyes closed, and he seemed so stillâ€"so awfully still. On, Ethelâ€"perhapsâ€" perhapsâ€"” ' “ It is her hand-writing,” he said as he nervously opened g.he enVOIOpe. The torn fragments of the returned missive dropt from his trembling hands, and with white, ashen face, and eyes robbed. of light, he fell in a faint. on the floor of his room. That night the torn fragments of a poem journeyed on their cruel way to pierce on the following morning a heart which had been fatally pierced before. “It shall go back to him,” she murmured as she opened the enve- lope and and read half-aloud ; “ I clasped her letter to my heart, .. With sweetest tenderness; “ Rtouched my lips to every part, Name, greeting, and address; " But when I pressed the cover light, “A pleasure I did feel, "For ere she closed the letter tight, ” Her lips had touched the seal.” ”Yes it shall go back," she re- peated, and turnedaher lovely blue eyes to meet the enqu’ring gaze of the beautiful friend at her side. And Ethel flung the letter across the table to her young friend who smiled a smile, half of indifierence and half of scorn,â€"a smile that served only to beautify the lovely countenance it wreathed. “ Yes dear ;â€"I don’t wonder you’re surprised; he does’nt seem to under. stand;-â€"and one would think he would, because he seem so wise. I’m sure if I were written'to as he has been, I’d never care to meet him again. Yet love is a strange and curious thing. I hardly understand it.” ‘0 mrgery 2” “ Ethel !” “ Another letter. ’ “ What ?” u Yes. a letter, and a poem. too;- and they’re for you.” The clock chimed, and she turned over the page, but the book dropt from her hands, and afigure stood before her. 6 ‘No?” TEE humus 1mm One of Normanby’s grand old men departed this life on Saturday last in the person of John Young, of Hamp- den. He had reached the venerable age of eighty years. Deceased was a native of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and like most of his race possessed a well knit frame and an excellent con- The observing editor of an ex- change remarks: " If delinquent scbscribers would only pay their bills, as they do almost any of their other expenses. there would be better papers and more prosperous and happy editors. Most peOple seem to think that the editor gives his serv- ices free, and it does not matter to him whether the subscriber pays or not. This is a great mistake. An editor cannot live on soup made of grass and stones, flavored with im- agination, he cannot wear old shoes and no collar and patches on his trousers. We have not the least doubt that there is a special felicity in store for people in the next world who always. respond cheerfully and promptly when their subscriptions1 are due.” ‘ The electric lighting system at Beeton, under municipal ownership, is not giving good satisfaction, The lights have been out several nights during the past month. The World has been informed that part of the trouble is chargeable to the council because they neglect to keep on hand necessary supplies for cases of emer- gency. Complaints are made that the lights are not turned on soon enough in the evenings to suit the takers. An exchange says there is no need of walking the floor with a ‘felon if you make use of the following re- cipe :--Wrap a. cloth loosely round the finger, leaving the end open. Pour gunpowder in the end, skake it until the felon is covered, and then keep it wet with camphor. In two hours the pain will be relieved and a perfect cure will quickly follow. And Margery flushed, and picked up her book, and looked across the table at the speaker, and faintly smiled, and answered :â€" “ No I am not ill.” And the clock chimed again. Toronto. Nov., 1900. “ Why, Margery, you have nearly fallen from your chair; were you dreaming;â€"or are you ill?-you look pale.” She started violently.â€"her book was lying before her, and a. tear had fallen on the page. She raised him gently in her arms, and bent her lips close down to him, and a sweet reply sobbed out from the loving heart of the girl. Then his blue eyes spoke their last message of love, and then closed forever on this wcrld,â€"the cold hand closed tightly on the warm one. and then relaxed ;--the heart did not beat again, and the girl pressed her lovely lips to a lifeless cheek and wept alone in the dark. “Margery, I have been unkind to you; forgiye me before I go.” A pale girlish form dropt in the grass, and a thin, cold hand felt for the soft fingers that were delicately stroking the damp curls back from the fevered brow. What was it that shot like an arrow through his heart? The old enemy was returning. The long nightly vigils. after the hard days labours, had preyed on the strength of one who was never very powerful He strove to rise, but he seemed chained to the Spot. He felt the ir- regular pulsation of his heart, and a coldness crept over his body. His limbs grew chill, ,. * ,. His hands fell by his Side. * * t Again the vision came back. He saw it all now. He had been intrud- ing. A lifelong friendship between the two girls had been endangered. No wonder they resented it. No wonder that they were annoyed be- cause he encountered them so often. No wonder his persistence was dis- tressing. And then he thought of last night, and his eyes swam with tears. Yet he would go and ask to be forgiven; she would forgive him when she knew he soon must die. He drew from his breast a. letter, and pressed it it. his fevered lips.

Tho following account of Dr. Dow ie’s doings in London, England, is told by the Scottish-American : “ The Rev. John Alexander Dowie, the Zionite of Chicago, whose oflicial title is “Overseer on Earth of the Christian Catholic Church,” has lat- erly been attracting a good deal of attention in London. where he has been conducting services in the Cale- donion Road Baths and elsewhere. At one of his meetings in Holborn he announced that he preferred the “Union Jack ” to the“ Star Spangled Banner.” “1 have been accused ”‘ he said. of being an American ‘ freak’ and I want to say I am not an Am- erican at all. I am a Scotchman. l amasubject of the British Crown, and am proud of it. I object to the United States Constitution because God is not in it. I prefer the Brit- ish Constitution because it recognizes God. If the United States should declare war against Great Britain Il would go over into Canada and pray gfor the United States to get licked.” ’The meetings are the scenes of fre4 quent disturbences, and the Zionists have to be protected by detectives. He denounces Rome, pork, tobacco, secret societies and the press, which, he avers, has formed a league against him, in consequence of the influence brought to bear on it by the Free- masons. It is stated that the com- munity of Zion, though Lut seven years old. had amassed property worth at least $1,000,000 all of which is in the hands of Dr. John Alexander Dowie, “not as trustee but as ab- solute owner.” 'Ititntion. He had lived in the vicin- ity of Hampden for forty years and was thoroughly conversant with pioneer life. Deceased took an active part in everything which had in its wake anything beneficial to the com- munity in which he resided, He took considerable interest in school .matters, being Secretary-Tress. of ‘the school for many years. In poli- tics. deceased was a strong Liberal, but he was unable to poll his last vote, owing to illness. His death was the result of kidney trouble. Deceased was a member of the Pres- byterian Church for many years and had been characterized as a “ strong :churchman.” He was an elder lor ,many years.
