Je Gren Retricto. v1 AN The sistor did not feel so hopeful. "It will take more than a glass of water to satisâ€" fy his fiery thirst," she answered. "And then, you know," she added, "that Barclay is easily offended. He would understand just what you meant, I fear, and grow angry and abusive." Mr. Barclay had several children. The youngest of these was named Fanny ; and she was just four years old. He was very fond of her, and often had struggles with his appetite for liquor on her account. Many times had he gone backward and forward before the tavern door, love for Fanny pleading against love of liquor, urging him to spend the few pennies in his pocket for a toy, or some candies, instead of for beer or spirits But the dreadful thirst for drink almost always got the mastery. Poor man! He was in a very sorrowful condition. "Oh dear! It‘s a pity for all of them," said Mrs. Lee, in a troubled voice. "Why dosen‘t the man drink cool water when he is dry, and not pour burning liquor down his throat 2 The one would refresh and satisfy him, while the other quenches his thirst only for a little while, and makes it stronger when it returns. I‘ve thought, more than once, of meeting him with a cool glass of water as he comes by, in the hope that, on drinking it, he would turn back to his shop, and not keep on to Huber‘s tavern." sister "It might do good," Mrs. Lee went on. "Suppose he did feel a little annoyed, he would hardly refuse the cool drink, and thnt once taken he might not feel so strongâ€" ly drawn towards Huber‘s ; might, in fact, go back to his work instead ot keeping on to the tavern. ‘The next time I saw him coming I could offer the drink again, and with it a pleasant word. I could ask about his wite and children, and show that I felt an interest in him. I‘m sure sister good would come of it."" 5 "Perhaps you are right," said Mrs. Lee. "We‘re alone here ali day, and it would hardly be safe to provuke the anger of a druuken man." Mr. Barclay was a carpenter, and his shop stood on the road not ‘"ar distant from the homeof Mrs. Lee. ife had at one time Jeen very well off, but like too many others, he would take a glass of liquor now and then. This led him into the company of those who visit taverns anl aleâ€"houses, and by them he was too often drawn away from his shop or his home. So neglect of business was nmided to the vice of drinking, and the carpenter‘s way in the world turned downward instead of upward. "A greater pity for his wife and children." said Mrs. Lee‘s sister. "Not at all safe," was the sister‘s reply. It‘s a great pity for him and his family,but something we eannot help." "I don‘t believe it would make him angry te offer him a cool drink of water." The clild who had been listening to her mother and aunt said this quite earnestly. The two women looked at each other but did not answer the child. On the morning after the day on which Mrs. Loc and her sister were talking about him, it bappened that Mr. Barclay was without a penny in is purse. What was he to do? Not a single glass of liquor It is such a pity, said Mrs. Lee, turning her eyes from the window. _A eluld stood near her looking out upon the roadâ€"a small blueâ€"eyed, cherubâ€"like creature, that made you think of a better country than the one we dwell in. A man had just passed, and it was of him the lady spoke when she said " it is such a pity." The Pitcher of Cool Water That would be too pointed The doacon‘s advice was followed, And at carly dawn next day, Over the hills to the poorhouse The pastor took his way, Up spoke an aged deacon Whose scunty hairs were white ; "Of all the plans you have proposed Not a single one is right. "A church trial is a weary (hing ; "Tis not right to law to go, And there wre in the nowspapers Scandals quite enough, I trow "And when the solemn evening comes, And our appetites are hearty , We will hold at that bad preacher‘s house A big donation party." And one suggesteda trial, And one a suit ut law, And a thira would publish the scandal In the papers with "eclat." "List, and I will unfold you An admirable plan Whereby we may avenge ourselves On our wicked clergyman. "Next week there is a fast day, All for the nation‘s sin ; We will not let a morsel That day our lips go in. And the deacons met in council Upon a way to hit That contumacious clergyman To punish us wis fit. Or if he kissed a deacon‘s wife, Or a deacon‘s daughter fair; No matter what the cause it was, The quarrel fiorce was there. I know rot why the quarrel Between themn up did grow, If the parson‘s views were heterodox Aboutâ€"that pluce, you know, It was a reverend pastor, At peace with all mankind Except his Board of Deaconsâ€"â€" A thing you‘ll often find. DURHAM, Co. Grey, FEBRUARY 20, 1879. The Deacon‘s Revenge. POETRY. ," said the "Just what you told me yesterday," said the man roughly. "The fact is, Jim Barclay," he added, thera‘s no dependonce in you any longer, and I shall take my work somewhere else." "It will be done toâ€"morrow," answered the carpenter hardly noticiag what was said to him. The carpenter was in no good mood to bear patiently a hard speech from any one, so he replied as roughly as he had been spoken to, and the man rode off in anger. Barelsy stood looking after him, as he moved down the road, his excitement gradually cooling until the blindness of passion was gone. This was more than the wretched man could bear. Rising hurriedly, and almost shaking off his child, he left the house and started for his shop that stood nearly a quarter of a mile distant. He did not go to work immediately, but sat down on his bench. He had no heart for work just then. "Oh, Jim Barclay !" he cried out at last, in a tone of mingled shame and anguish. "That you should come to this !" "Is asked. "‘Foolish every way !" turning slowly to his workâ€"bench and taking up a plane. "It wasn‘t so once. No dependence in Jim Barclay." "I don‘t feel very well," he answored. His voice had so strange a sound to his own ears that it seemed as if some one clse wore speaking. He got up and walked about like one beâ€" wildered. Just then a man rode up to the door of his shop. He was hurt by the accusation. The time was when no mechanic in the neighâ€" borhood could be more depended on. If Barelay promised a prece of work it was stire to be ready. Alas, how changed ! He was just as fair in promise nowâ€"just as sincere, petliaps, when his work was given â€"but in performance how slow ! He would start in earnest every day, and get on very well, until the desire for liquor grew strong enough to tempt him off to Huber‘s tavern to have a drink. After that, no one could count on him. ‘When he returned to his shop he would be a changed man. Instead of going on steadily with the job he had begun, and finishing it, he would put it aside for something neglected on the day before ; work at it for a short time, and then go to something else; at last growing so bewilâ€" dered that he would drop his tools and go off to the tavern again, often not returning to his shop that day, Some pancls of the shutter lay on Parclay‘s workâ€"bench. He took them in his hands, turned them over, ran his eye along the edges, hesitating what to do, this shnttor was not the only job that should have been realy according to promie, diy before. He began to grow "Papa!"‘ It was Fanny herself. The loving child came in and put her arms about his neck. He felt as if elasped in a vice. + It was as much as he could do to keep from pushing her with strong arms away. "Are you sick papa ?" the child had eaught a glimpse of his pale, disturbed countenance. "I‘m so sorry," and Fanny drew her arms tighter around his neck, kissing He had searcely taken a breath while the box was in his hand. Now he sat down like one suddenly robbed of strength, and panted, the dark flush went off of his face and he looked pale and guilty. A desperate look was in Mr. Barclay‘s face as he clutched this box. Hurriedly he took fromhis pocket a small screwdriver, and in a minute or two the lid was off Half the pennies were emptied into his pocket, and the lid replaced and the box returned to the drawer. What did he bring forth? I grieve to say it was a little wooden box only a few inches square ; he had made it himself of fine dark wood for is dear little Fanny. There was a small hole eut in the lid, which was fastened on with screws. Fanny‘s moneyâ€"box ! Yes, even so. It was Fanny‘s money box. The pennies were very few that came into the child‘s hands ; but all she had received for many months were in this box. She was saving them to buy a present for hor father at Christmas. Slowly, step by step, listening as he reâ€" moved across the room, looking just like a thicf, Mr. Burclay returned to the bureau and opened the drawer he had closed so quickly a little whileo before, thrust in his hand. He opened a bureau drawer to get a handkerchief, when something met his eyes that made him pause with a strange, eager, yet pained expression of face. At first, a light this had shed over his counâ€" tenance, faded out quickly. He stood gazâ€" ing at the object with an irresolute air,and then,shutting the drawerquickly and hard, ho turned away and walked to the other side of the room. For some time he reâ€" mained there quite still, his back to the drawers. _A very bitter struggle was going on in his mind. Alas! he was not strong enough for this conflict. off. But how was he to go through all that day without a single drink of beer or whiskey 2 The very thought made his lips feel dry, and quickened his craving thirst. could be had at Huber‘s tavern, for he was already in dobt there, and they had rofusâ€" @1 to trust him until the old score was paid that shutter ready for me?" he From the window of the coltage mother and aunt looked out on the scene in surâ€" prise, half trembling in fear lest this man should do some violence to the child, yet robuked for their own lack of confidence in the means her own simple faith had made so strong for good, ‘Fhe act was her own. They had no hint of her purpose until they saw her crossing the road with the pitcher of water in her hand, Her own act, did I say? Let me lift your thoughts higher, dear children who tFead this, God‘s love and pity for the poor drunkard had flown into child‘s heart and moved her to do just what she did. So it was God acting through her just as He acts through all of us when we try to do good to others. ‘Think of this. God working through usâ€"making us the agents of His loving kindnessâ€"angels of merey. Mr. Barclay returned to his shop, took off his cont and went to work. The coel water but more the good resolution the child had awakened in him, gave tone and refreshment to body and mind. His nerves, all unstrung when he started for the tavern, were steady now. No tremor ran through his hand as he grasped the chisel, mallet or plain. He wrought with a sense of pleasure in his work not known for a long time. Mr. Barclay drew himsel{ up and stood for many seconds juast as still as a statute. The child looked at him with a halfâ€"seared expression on her countenance, but she kept a firm hold of his hand. _ Suddenly catching his breath, like one who had been doprived of air, he stooped quickly and touched the child‘s pure forchead with his lips. He said nota word but stood straight again, turnod resolutely, and went striding down the road in the direction of his shop. Aiter an hour this feeling began to wear off and the old heaviness and thirst for liquor rcturned. His thought went to Huber‘s tavern and the tempting liquor to be had there. But there was something in the way that he could not passâ€"no fierce lions, such as frightened poor Christians, but a poor and innocent child. He felt that when she saw him coming along the road she would meet him with her sweet, pleading face and pitcher of water, and that to pass by would be imâ€" possible. He harkened for a moment to this sugâ€" gestion, and ther, with an almost angry tone, as if rebuking the temper, said : There was a spring not far from his shop He drank frecly at this, and then, refreshâ€" ed, took up bis work again. How clear his mind was! clearer than it had been for a long time. Like a beantiful picture, frimed in his thonght and holding his gaze with a kind of fascination, was the image of that lovely child meeting him on the road and offering him her pitcher of cool wator. It was perpetually before him "Go around by the old mull," said a tempting spinit in his thought, "and the child will not see you." "Thank you, my dear!" dropped from his lips as he handed back the empty vessel ; and then he stooped and kissed the child. She did not turn from him and go back into the house, but stood between him and the tavern, gazing up into his face. He took a step forward. The child caught his hand. "No! no! no! God‘s angel met me in an evil path and turned me back, I will not go around by any other way." Surprised and startled by this sudden vision of innocence and beauty, Mr. Barâ€" clay did not hesitate for an instant, but took the pitcher and drank almost at a single draught every drop of the eool, pure wator. "Oh 1 don‘t, Mr. Barclay!" she cried eagerly and in such a pleading voice that her tones went further down iuto his heart thain human tones had gone for a long, long time. "Don‘t what, little darling ?" he asked bending tow ard her in neow surprise. "Don‘t go to Huber‘s any more," ansâ€" wered the child. Between the shop and tavern was a pleasant cottage. Mr. Barclay was nearly opposite this cottage, when, out ran a child, holding in her little hends a small glass pitcher full of water, her golden hair tossâ€" ing in the wind. She was about Fauny‘s age, and boautiful as a cherub, "Won‘t you have a cool drink, Mr. Barclay ?" said the child, stopping before him and offering her pitcher, while her earnest, tender cyes, blue as violets, were lifted to his face. "Just one glass to make me all right." And off he started for the tavern, which stoood on the roadside some distance away. "I‘ll get one glass," he said, starting up; "for I must have something to put life into me. The pennies‘are only borrowed ; I‘ll return them, two for one." This thought that he had only borrowed the pennies lessened the pain at his heart. worried, just as it had been with him so many times. But where to begin his day‘s workâ€"which of his neglected ousâ€" tomers to serve first, he did not know, his hands were unsteady ; m sense of heaviness weighed down his limbsâ€"in body and mind he felt wretched. He thought of Huber‘s and a refreshing â€" glass. Just one drink, and his shattered nerves would be steadiar for the day‘s work. Then he thought of the pennies in his pocketâ€" the carefully saved treasure of his dear little Fanny, stolen from her that morning; and such shame fell upon his heart that he ‘ sat down on his work bench and groaned in pain. ‘ heihne s TORONTO Malcom Canmore, the first King of Seots, whom the chronicles present to us with something like distinet personality, was the son of the "Gracious Duncan," who was murdered by his subjects, Macbeth being probably the prime mover, about the year 1040, Duncan had married a kinswoman of Siward, Earl of Northumbria ; so that Malcom was closely connected on his mother‘s side with England ; and it was by the aid of Earl Siward that he was put in possession of his Scottish kingdom in 1054. The whole of Seotland submitted to him, and the coronation of Macom at Scone is the first which is recorded to have taken place in the famous abbey. The forefathers of Margaret were the whole line of West Saxon kings ; and her mother‘s kin went up to the Cresar‘s who bare rule over Rome." These are the proud words of the English chronicler. The Etheling Edgar, with his mother and sisters, had fled to Scotland after the submission of Edwin and Morear to the Conqurer, and had passed the winter of 1068â€"69 with Malâ€" com. It was, perhaps, during this first visit that the Scottish king "began to yearn" after Margarct, On the second occasion he wooed her so ardently that he might not be withstood. "Ho dealt with her brother," says the chronicler, "until he said yes ; for in truth he durst not say otherwise, secing they had come into his power." But Margaret, like her sister Christina was strongly inclined to a religious life; and her marriage vow, plighted as it was atlast, scems to have been plighted unwillingly. The marriage, was, neverâ€" theless, a most fortunate one. "It was a good day indeed for Malcom and for Seotâ€" land when Margaret was persuamded or cot * strained to oxchange the easy selfâ€"dedicaâ€" tion of the cloister for the hardor task of doing her duty in that state of lifeto which it had pleased God to call her. _ Margaret: became the mirror of wives, mothers, and queens, and none ever more worthy earnâ€" ; ed the honors of saintship. Her gentle inâ€" ‘ fluence reformed whatever needed to be reâ€" . formed in her husband, and none laboured more deligently for the advance of all temâ€" ‘ poral and spiritual enlightenment in her adopted country. . . , . . . There was indeed, no need for Margaret to bring a new religion into Seotland, but she gave a new life to the religion which she found existing there, and she made changes in various points where the traditions of the Scottish Church still differred from the reâ€". ceived practice of Western Christendom." To the personal santliness of Margaret, her biographer; who knew her well, bears ample testimony, To her, rather than to the mother of King Malcom, apply the words which Shakespeare has placed in the mouth of MacduS®. Siemens‘ machine for generating the clecâ€" tric light has proved a most decided success in the Marston rock salt mine,Cheshire,one of the largest in Englanfi, whose capracity is about seven or cight meres, being a gi« gantic space, the roof of which is supported Anrca or Oxtarto.â€"This Ontario of ours is quite a place after all.

Up to the powerful, and the resuit was satistactory in every way, the workmen being able to carry on their mining operations with the greatest facility. *"If," he said to a friend,yoars afterwards, in referring to this period of his life, "the old desire came back, and my thought went back to Huber‘s tavern, it never got past the white cottage, for out from its porch I would always see coming to meet me,pitcher in hand,that heavenâ€"sent ange!â€" child, and to have Passed her would have been unpossible." For the first time in monthsâ€"it might almost be said yearsâ€"Mr. Barclay came home that evening clothed with sobriety and in his right mind. What a great throb of joy his pulse gave as he saw the look of happy surprise in his poor wife‘s face, and felt the delight of dear little Fanny‘s heart as she sprang into his arms and hugged him in a way that told what a new gladâ€" ness was in her soul! Not until he had unseen by any one, returned the pennies to her bo®, did a red spot of shame fade off from his manly cheeks. Mr. Barclay was never seen in Huber‘s tavern again, nor in any other tavern. and the longer he looked upon it,the softer his heart became, and the stronger his good resolutions.
