And the good old Pastor answered, "Well, Bob by, you might, who knows? At least you can try!" He did try, and years later when Robert Muflet came back from his wonderful work in Africa, the King of England rose and uncov ered in Ins presence, and the Brit ish Parliament stood as a mark of its respect. They realized that a mighty man was among them.

Something is missed from the meadows something of bloom and cf beam; Morning is less than the morning, and Twilight's sigh in a dream. Lonesome the lilies that loved her, the vine-llowcrs droop 'round the place. Where once they looked in at the window and smiled in her beautiful face. The house seems the Shadow of Silence, yel speaks as the Silence w ill speak. When in halls that are curtained with shadows a loved, vanished Pres ence we see; When each moment that knew her was golden, with life in love's ten der control; But now, 'tis a Home with the heart gone a House without even a soul ! of a Ol li- II IP!

It's by the dull silence of absence you know that you love her so much ! It's the ache of the silence around you -no love tones to answer Love's call; It's the place where ihe lost dreams arc sighing : The House Willi No Soul tells it all ! Dream of her coming, rose gardens, and woodlands w here w ild flow ers throng !

THE HOME IN THE VALE. I The constable in a small town received by post six "Rogues Gallery" iphotographs, taken in different positions, of an old offen der wanted for burglary in a neigh boring city. A fortnight later the constable sent this message to the city Chief of Police: "I have arrested five of the men and am going after the sixth to night." Ex.

And listening I hear from ihe deep wooded hills, A refrain of nature divine, As it floats on ihe breee, Through ihe foliaged irees, In volume and beauty sublime. in my vision I sec ihe old home in the valcj Where a mothe-voice called lo me, As (he notes nf dove Full of pathos and love, Like music from over ihe sea. In the twilight's soft glow ai that home in the vale, The joy of my heart was complete, Vt'iih the dear ones of home lire I left them to roam, No more 'neath ihe roof-tree to meet. From the city beyond, 'mid the hills of the Lord, A call comes to you and to me, Through a dear mother's prayer, Thai we meet her up there, And so with her ever lo be. by the neck until he shall die,' a seu tence of Imprisonment for life. j "Kor your Riike.
