THE PAUSON'S LAST TEXT.
This brings my story again to that after
noon in May, when Prudence Palfrey made
her appearance at the cottage in Horseshoe
Lane, and was solicited by Salome to speak
to the parson,-Avho had locked himself in
the little room after the departure of the
two deacons.
It was with an inexplicable sense of un
easiness that Prudence crossed the library,
and knocked softly on the panel of the in
ner door. The parson did not seem to hear
the summons: at all events lie paid no at
tention to it, and Prudence knocked again.
"He's gittin' the least bit hard of hearin
poor soul," saidalome. "Mebbe he heard
that, though," she added, more cautiously,
"for he always hears when you don't spose
he will. Do jest speak to him, honey; he'll
know your vice in a miuit.".
Prudence put her lips down to the key
hole and called, "Parson Wibird ! it's
Prue won't you speak to me?"
He made no resposue to this, and in the
silence that ensued, broken only by the
quick respiration of the two women, there
was no sound as if he were preparing to
undo the fastenings. Prudence rose up
with a half frightened -expression on her
countenance and looked at Salome.
"What can have happened?" she said,
hurriedly.

A. bit of romance recently came to mv
notice which has not before appeared in
mint. Some time in December last a crirl
about 17 veafs of age, who at that time
was serving as a table w aiter in a large
dining restaurant was arrested lor stealing
a package of money-from the pocket of a
gentleman's overcoat, Which was hanging
iii. the roo,m while he was eating his dinner.
At the preliminary examination a party
swore to having seen her take the coat down
and hang it up quickly again; that she soori
left the room for a short time, and, as the
money, was not to be found she was held
for tn.il. In vain slie protested that she
.merely moved the coat to avoid its getting
soiled; in vain w ith tearful eyes she offered
to be searched. The circumstances were
suspicions, and the officers inexorable.
In the meantime the gentleman who had
lost the money became interested m her
history, found she was an orphan girl, and
though comparatively friendless bearing an
excellent cbaacter. Further than this, he
ascertained she was of English, parentage,
that her name Avas the same as his own.
and, to make the storv short, from evidence
whic.lt he could not disbelieve, that she was
the daughter of his own In-other whom he
supposed to have died childless in Australia

fine dust sifting down from tlie lintel.
The girl retreated a step or two, and,
shading her eyes with' the palm of hjer hand,
peered into the darkened space.
Nothing was distinct at first, but as Sa
lome raised the light above Prue's head,
the figure of the parson suddenly took shape
against the gloom. !
He was sitting in an old-fashioned arm
chair, with his serene face bent over a great
Bible covered with green baize, which he
held on his knees. His left arm hung idly
by his side, and the forefinger of his right
hand rested lightly on the middle ot the
page, as if slumber had overtaken him so,
reading.
"Laws o' inercv, if the parson hasn't
gone to sleep !" exclaimed Salome, stepping
into the small compartment. r
Asleep !" repeated Prudence, the reas
sured color returning to her cheek. "
Salome laid her hand on the -parson's
arm, and then passed it quickly over his
forehead. i

her shoulders and waist. When I spoke
about it, and declared that I -preferred

were astonished, and said that there was

and all their, children wear wooden shoes.
They are not able to buy socks, , so they
