One morning he was deeply en
grossed in a new treuiise he was
preparing when his young daugh
ter was brought 10 him by her gov
erness. "I have 10 repori Miss Ellen for
a terrible thing. She called her
Aunt Mary aa-a d d fool!"
said ihe governess.
"How terrible!" responded the
divine, "Did you call your Aunt
Mary (his awful thing?"
"No, father I didn't," faltered
the uungsier. "I called her a
fool but rwi a a-a d d fool."
Well, even that is very wicked
or you, ne rcpiieu, but as you
did not use ili.it awful adjective 1
will forgive you. You may go."
And he returned to his writing.
The youngster, however, did
not go. Please, lather, she
said, presently, "I didn't call Aunt
Mary a d d fool. I called her a
fool. But I I 1 did call Aunt
Jane a d d fool!"
"Yes, yes!" he mumbled, with
out looking up from his work; "I
quite agree. That is the precise
distinction between them that I
usually make myself !"

Where there lingers still the joy-times of our happy childhood day
Though sometimes the way is weary, and we chafe beneath the load
That we bear on tired shoulders as we trudge the weary road,
ei ev'ning comes upon us and we seize the rest we've won.
Laying down a while the burden ge have borne since rising sun,
We can close our eyes on toiling and mem'ry's wings of gold
Fly back just around the corner to the childhood days of old.
ust around the corner! Such a hide ways to go
When we travel back in mem'ry to the joys we used to know
Such a little backward journey, but how long the journey seems
When 'tis measured by (he heart-aches and the pains of vanished
dreams,
uch a little journey taken on the wings of memory,
Though now how long the way, and weary, since the days of used
to be.
But when ev'ning's shadows gather quick we take the backward
way-
Till we're just around the corner where we used to laugh and play.

Just around the corner! J, how blue the arching skies;
And how sweet the roses Diooming, ana now sweet the woodland lies
Hear the music of the water as it turns the grumbling wheel;
Waich tha- partridge through the thickets in the cooling shadows steal;
Hear the chatter of the squirrel, hear the nuts as they fall;
Catch the far off welcome echoes of the old horn s ringing call!
Long the road that we have journeyed, though it's but a little ways-
Only just around the corner to the joys ot our days.

From the dreaming darkness 10 ihe Rose of Day;
l-'or the stars have whispered from their home of blue
Of an old loved garden where they dreamed of you !
And it's 0 for the glory of the bloom and beam,
And the old, sweet story in a star's love-dream !
The Wind is singing, for the song came
When the stars made music that could breathe your name;
Is ihere one at a window in a light-lived place,
Where the rose is fairer that has seen her face ?
0 light in glory from the far skies stream
Tell the sweetheart-story of the stars' love-dream I
Love is the glory of the Springtime, sweel;
Love is ihe story all the stars repeat;
Lead life loveward, 10 the lilies there,
Where every blossom is an answered prayer.
And night shall be light, and iis splendor stream
'Round the old, sweet story of a world's love-dream.

A mysterious apparition has been
seen in St. Thomas s Church Ke

ly Hgure is told by the Kev. Clar
ence May, the vicar, who asserts
thai it appeared to him personally.
He is partly supported by other
people, who state that noises were
heard by them before ihe appear
ance of ihe spirit.
The events have occurred in
the course of the last three weeks, "
said Mr. May. "Uncanny KnocK-
ings were heard by the caretaker
and her nephew, who was with
her in the church at the time. She
came and informed me, while the
man waited outside. No one could
have oassed him without being
seen, but when I arrived the church
was empty.
A few days later my curate, tne
Rev. John Evitt, heard patterings
of feet, although no one was in the
church.
"Lastly, at 8 o'clock one morn

tinctly saw a cassocked figure

Victim of Carelessness Came Back
With Pointed Remark Concern

Two negroes were working in
coal bin in a Mississippi town,
one down in the bin throwing out
the coal and the other wielding a

a large lump and heaved it care

resounding blow on ihe head.
As soon as ihe victim had re

he walked over to the edge of the
bin and, peering down at his mate,
said :
'Nigger, how come you don't

You done hit me smack on the

The other looked surprised.
