"At Even, Ere the Sun Was Set."
The author of this well-known hymn
was 'Rev. Henry Twells. He was
born at Aslited, Birmingham, England
•on March tsth, 1823, and was educat-
ed there along with a group; of boys,
some of whom were destined to
,distinguish themselves in later years:
From this group came Archbishop
Benson, Bishop Lightfoot and Bishop
Wescott . Henry Twells studied, at
St. Peter's College, Cambridge, and
was ordained to the ministry of the
Anglican church in '1849. His first
curacy was at Great Berkampstead,
and after three years there he remov-
ed to Stratford -on -Avon where• he re-
mained for sixteen years. Later he t
was appointed Canon of Petersbor-
ough, but failing health Made it sec-•
essary for him to refine to Bourne-
mouth, where he built and •endowed,
at his own cost, the handsome church
of St. Augustine. In this parish he,
ministered 'until his death on Janti
cry igth, eeoo. He was buried with-
n sight of the church he so'loved.
Canon Twells is described, by his
:ontempories "as a "hard working cler-
gyman an dan able preacher and, writ -
r." He was the author of several
•iyinns., few of which are well known,
gut perhaps no hymn written in mod;
rn times has met with more universal
cceptanoe than this one. I It was
vritten for the first edition of "Hymns
lncient and Modern," but it proved
o popular, that .the author was asked;
o give permission for its insertion in
ne hundred and forty-seven other
ymnals.
The circumstance under which the
ymn came to be written are thus nar-
ated by Canon Twells.. "It was
vritten in x868, at the request of Sir
Henry Baker, who said a new evening.
Lynn was wanted for the first'edition
>f "Hymns Ancient and Modern," and
tt that time headmaster of - a .large
rammar school —' the Godolphin
chool, Harimersmith-I wrote it one
tftertioon white the boys were at their
xantinations, and I was supposed to
,e seeing 'All fair.' I am afraid I
:ould not have, been very energetic or
ynx-eyed in my duties that day, but,
Iittle anticipated; the popularity :the l
hymn would attain . I have :beers
asked for leave to insert it in one ;;hem
dred and forty-seven different hymn-
als in all parts of the English-speaking
world, and many mor( have taken it
without leave. " Copies have been
kindly sent to me in Greek, Latin,
German, French, Welsh .and, Irish. I
like to think it mak have brought
souls n rer Christ; and if"so, I heart-
ily ithank God for it."
The hymn is evidently based on.
the incident recorded in Matthew 8:
i6; Luke 4:20; and Mark 1:32-34. The
different stanzas take up very tenderly
and •sym:pathetidallyl the; various
groups that followed Jesus that even-
ing. A very fine verse—the fourth
has been widely omitted, no doubt be-
cause of the, length of the hymn; but
in more recent hymnals it has been.
re -instated. It runs as follows:
"And some are pressed with world-
ly care,
And some are. tried with sinful
doubt,
And some such grieyous passions
tear, ` '
That only Thou :canst, cast thein
out."
STILL GIVING!
They used to give. the editor
All sorts of things to eat
And, often for subscription.
They would bartercorn and wheat.
If he mentioned something special
Or remarked that it 'teas nice,
Ten to one heel, get a melon,
Or'a mess of fish on ice.
,They used to give the editor
A bouquet now and then
In the shape of beets or cabbage.
Or occasionally a hen;
They used to bring hint pumpkins
Andpotatoes by the peck,
But now they bring him nothing
Arid he gets.. it in the neck.
They used the give the editor
Advice when he was slack
Being awfully long in theory,
But, mighty short in jack.
But now the .times are 'different;
And the gifts are not so swell,
For if he doesn't do things right,
They call up and give flim, hell,

Shuffle-Shoon is old and grey,
Amber -Locks a little child;

Age" and youth are reconciled,
And with sympathetic glee
Build their castles fair to see,
"When•'I grow to be .a man,"
So the wee one's prattia ran,
"I shall build a castle so-
With a gateway broad and grand;
Here a pretty vine shall grow,
There a soldier guard shall. stand;
And the tower shall be so .high,
Folks will'wonder, by-and-by'?"
Shuffle-Shoon quoth: "Yes, I know;
Thus I builded Dong ago!
Tlere a gate, and there a wall,
Here'a window, there a door;
Here a steeple wondrous tall
Riseth ever more and more!
But the years have levelled low
What I builded long agd.!"
So they gossip at their play,
Heedless of the fleeting day.
One speaks .of the Long Ago
Where his dead. hopes buried, lief
One with chubby cheeks aglow
Prattleth of the By-and-by;
Side by side they build their blocks—

"I have been refliectiflg," said an
old-tiin.er, "upon the case of the av-
erage man, as his neighbors see him.'
"If he is in politics, it's for pork. If
he's not in politics, one. can't place
ham, and he's no good for his coun-
try.
If he beats an opponent,,he's a thief
and a rogue,
If he gives not to charity, then he
is a''stingy dog. If he does give, it's
for show.
If he's active in religion, he is is
hypocrite. • If he •evinces no interest
in matters spiritual, he's a hardened
sinner.
If , he shows affection, he is a soft
sentimentalist. If he seems to care
for no one, he's cold blooded.
If he dies young, there was a great
future, ahead of him. If he attains
old age, he has missed his calling."

"Why didn't you give me a tum-

her, feeling pretty cheap for not

Pansy regarded me curiously for

pat my hand.
"I'nm no quitter, 13111!" she says
gamely. "New York hasn't got me

me critically. "I hope you're tak-

"The Atlantic ocean will turn

Immediately her sparkling eyes
