We hail Thee, King Anointed, Great David's greater Son; For at the time appointed Thy kingdom was begun. Thou camest from oppression Our captive souls to win— To "take away transgression And make an end of sin." Thou art all succour bringing To those who suffer wrong: To Thee the frail are clinging; In Thee the weak are strong. Thou givest songs for sighing And clay in place of night; For those condemned and dying Are precious in Thy sight.. All prayer and preise unceasing Eaeh day to Thee ascend; Thy kingdom is increasing: Thy reign shall never end. The tide of time shall never Exhaust Thy wondrous fame; For Thine shall be for ever The one all -glorious name. JAMES' MONTGOMERY, 1822. Alt. by T. WATSON.

She could not even pass up the broad, ghostly staircase without noticing tat ei- ther Marie or Fe,iton were creep- ing softly after her. It was vain to nurse a wild hope that she might see Dorothy or some one of the Hall household.

Yet, those who make a scien- tific, study of such phenomena as- sure us that it is so, In the" journal de Neux'ologie" , for 1905, Dr. Fero, a French seien- tist of note, andan authority an mutters of psychological interest, referring to the wide diffusion of this "gerontophiiie," as be calls it, mentions, among many others,, the case of a young man of twenty- seven who was attracted only by the white haired, elderly wemen and eventually fell in love with' one: She reciprocated his affeo- tion, and, in her anxiety to please him, and—in appearance, at least —to lessen the dispari±y in their ages, she dyedher hair a light brown, "whereupon," says Dr. Fere, "he ceased to care for her Two interesting, if somewhat ex- treme, oases lately came to the writer's knowledge.

Indeed, her worldly circumstances were, if any- thing, the more prosperous of th two. She declared that she "loye. the kindness of his eyes and voice I" But the most curious thing aboujt ' it was the fact that the ancient bridegroom—who was a widower— had been married at the age of twenty-four, to a woman thirty- two years his senior! In the other ease a young matt of twenty-eight—the son of wealthy tradespeople—became enamored of a white-haired spinster of sixty..

The lady, who was a de- vout churchwoman of the ritualis- tic- type, was a member of a well- known "advanced" church in a. place where the young man was staying with some friends, The - Fates decreed that he should at- tend that church, and, moreover,. guided his steps into the pew of which' she was the only occupant, He himself confided,to the writer that it zeas a genuine case of "love at first sight," as far as he was. concerned; and from themoment. he set eyes upon the lady he . wase irresistibly fascinated by her beau- tiful,. clear cut profile, and her sil- very hair.
