Alone he eat in his great arm chair, His study door ajar ; Iiia children played or. the • winding stair, The mother sang a bar Of some love song they otgether sang In the happy days gone by: And joyin song and in childmirth rang With all wealth could supply. And yet his heart had a streams pnrest Of mingled fear and doubt ; His soul had long made a fruitless quest For things "past finding out," In sceptic wiles and in science lore He'd searched for so-called "truth," Until he Longed for the peace once more, The simple faith of youth. A little head of bright, golden hair Peeped through the door its charms; A little angel climbed up his chair And nestled in his arms. "Is God dead, papa?" A question new. , _ "No; why ask that?" he said. "Yon don't talk wiv him as you used t' do; I tot, melbe, He's dead." "A child shall lead them," he humbly sighed, And kneeling down in prayer, The fears and doubt were all satisfied As he talked with his Saviour there, 'The little hands in devotion held Unclasped ; she raised her head, And from her lips, and his heart, their welled; "I'm so glad God's not dead." YOU OR I, If we could know Which of us, darling, would be the first to go, Who would be first to breast the swelling tide, And step alone upon the other side— If we could know? If it were you, Should I walk softly, keeping death in view ? Should I my love to you more oft ex- press ? ' Or•Shonld I grieve, darling, any less— If it were you. If it were I, Should I improve the moments slipping by? Should I more closely follow Gi ti's great plan ? Be filled with sweeter charity to man— If it were I ? If we could know ! We cannot, darling, and 'tis better so. I should forget, just as I do to -day And walk along the same old stumbling way— If I could know. I would not know Which of us darling will be first( to go. I only wish the space may not be long Between the parting and the greeting song; But when, or where, or how, we're called to go— t would not know.

Silence, of death, was round about me; it was midnight; I was weak- ened by • illness, prostrated by fatigue, and wan with anxiety for my white and black compan.ons, whose fate was a mystery.

"And what does Reggie wish St. Nicholas to fetch him, a sled?" ,INO-O." "A sword?" "No -o." "A drum?" uNo.n "What then, darling, tell mamma," and the slender, sweet-faced young mother bent down and caressed the fluffy, blonde head lying yr g on her knee. Reggie was silent tt moment, then looking into his mother's ten- der eyes, he said, clapping his fat, pink hands: "Me wants a papa:" Eleanore's pale face grew whiter yet. She had dreaded this hour: the hour when her child should ask for his father. And now that the question had come at this Christmas time, when everything was reminding her of her cruel loss, it seemed hard indeed. She did not at once answer her child, but caught him in her arms and held him pressed convulsively against her stormy breast. The tempest passed after a little, and she calmly said: "Reggie, dearest, that is something St. Nicholas cannot bring you. Choose, instead, some toy, darling." "If I had a papa he could play wiv me," eagerly suggested Reggie. There suddenly flashed before her mind a picture of what might have been. Instead of sitting here alone before the blazing fire, there might have been a handsome, fair -hair_ ed man Lounging there on the tiger skin, with Reggie climbing triumphantly over him, pounding him with his tiny fists, pulling his mustache—kissing hire. 0 heavens! it was too much; she could not bear it. With a bitter sob, she flungherself f upon the low, broad couch and buried her face in the cushions. Reggie looked in the sorrowful eyes of his pretty mamma. He could not understand it. Mamma cried so much. The mammas of the little boys with whom he played did not cry. They scolded sometimes, which was something his mamma never did, but they never cried. There were papa's in all the houses where gie was wont to visit. is childish mind was trying to grapple with this problem. There were papas, the mammas didn't cry I His mamma cried a great deal, and there was no papa. Now if a papa could be found perhaps mamma would not cry. An idea shortly grew in that busy little brain. It was nearly Christ,nns and fit. Nicholas surely must bo somewhere about. Why should not Reggie go in search of him and finding him, beg for a papa ? St. Nieholas, he had been told, was a kind old gentleman to good little boys, and Reggie had been very, very good for such tt long time. Yes, that wns it ! he would set out directly in search of tit. Nicholas and a papa, He stole quietly out of the room into the back hall. Here lie pulled on his stout intdia- rubber boots, put on his overcoat and cap, drew on his fur mittens, opened the door, squared his shoulders:and trudged out into tine night. It was a frosty, star lit evening. Reggie shivered a little, but he was a sturdy, brave little chap mrd not easily discouraged. He hurried down the street toward the railway station. He bad been Gold that St. Nicholas lived away oif somewhere, and as he had long wished to take a trip on those fascinating " train cars" which swept through Rosedale, he deemed this a most, excellent opportunity. He entered the station and wis-u,„Il 111s small hands nt the big cool stove with an air of great in:portance. The agent noted the handsome little fc!low with oheol:, like apples and eyes like stars, and long blonde curls falling over his shoulders, and smiled nt 1 hen little manly airs he gave himself. The eastern bound train thundered Mown, and Reggie went forth close behind a man - r l and wife with their four or five children. Use! The brakesnran snpposhlg him to be of this party, swung him on board, and a little bit frightened and a good deal delighted, Reggie found himself really starting in a journey in search of a papa. The conductor, passing through, repeated the brakesmaa's mistake, and the young traveler was not questioned. On and on through the solemn, winter night rushed the train bearing the little boy on his quest. He fell asleep finally and made so lavely a picture that the conductor, who Md two 'fine boys at home, regarded him with ap- proval It suddenly dawned upon him that there was no striking resemblance between this beautiful child and the snub-nosed, freckle -faced family on the other side of the car, and he began to make inquiries. He was somewhat alarmed when no one was found to lay claim to Reggie. However he could not put the child off the train and de- cided to wait developments. * * * * There was horror, confusion and eh when Reggie's bedtime came and he was n where to be found. The absence of his wra showed that he was not hidden about t house for mischief. Grandfather and grandmother were in state of mind which it were idle to attem to describe. The poor mother passed rapi ly from one fit of unconsciousness to anothe and stalwart Uncle Rob was the only to think and act. It was nearly mit,tig before the child was traced to the stats but once traced to that point the rest w comparatively easy, and Uncle Rob soon he a precious yellow document in his han announced that thew little runaway y safe on train No. 10 and would be return on No. 5 the next day. Eleanor's agony was relieved, though s could not sleep that night, and the mornin found her to weak to leave her bed. Reggio would not return from his trip til three o'clock that afternoon. His moth counted the hours and moments till s should hear that merry childish voice again The western -bound express rolled into th big station at M— the next forenoon, a little, mussed, dishevelled boy of fo years was put in charge of the sleeping conductor. His story was soon known b everybody from porter to the passenger the last section. He was so handsome, so mischievous, bright, that -he was soon the centre of a traction. •The porter brushed him up an even combed his curls. He was petted an cuddled and questioned over and over. every fresh catechism he returned alway the same answer: that he had gone to fin St. Nicholas toask him to bring him a pap o mamma wouldn't cry so much. This naive answer affected many tender hearted ladies to tears, and even caused uspicion of moisture to gather in more tha ne pair of manly eyes. The most desirable section in the Caledoni was filled with coats and luggage bearing an uantity of foreign labels. There we iles of books, papers and uncut magazines However, the occupant of No. 11 did littl •eading. He occasionally fumbled his boo n the most nervous and distrait manne maginable, and passed the most of his tin) n the smoking -room, lighting cigar afte •igar. He stared steadily through the fros overed windows, but not at the scene, )ver and over fie saw but one ,picture: a•ightly-lighted room, daintily furnished verything new and fresh and smart. H aw three people there—two men and omen. One man starting forward wit leading, out -stretched hand—he could h is voices"Listen; Harry, you must, you hall. Good God, man, it's all a mistake!" He saw the woman, sweet-faced, slender, raving herself up with superb disdain, an aching a look of resentment and contemp t the third actor, who mad with rage an ealously was rushing from the room—away way from his home, from his sweet, your ifs, from his country, to wander for nears our long years to and fro, hating himsel nd everyone else: With astart this man, with the bronze face nd sad, tired eyes,tlung his half -smoked cigar nd lighted another. He recalled thatmorning ),'Venice when he received a letter which had ollowed him all over Europe. A letter from woman who had hated his young wife and ho had sent him that terrible anonymous tter which had poisoned his naturally joal- us mind. She was dying and wished to nolo the wrong she had done. The allege - ons she had made were all false. Stung with remorse he lived again that ocking scene wherein he had accused his rife of her affection for his friend, and refus- g to listen to any explanation had left her he thought forever. Now he was on his way back to beg her to rgive him. Ah ! would ho find her erhaps she was dead. A childish voice startled him. "0, what a funny 'ittle room. Tan I me in 1" He looked up and saw a beautiful fair - aired boy, in kilts and sailor blouse, stand - g in the door of the smoking -room. Just hind him stood the porter benignant, •otecting, smiling.

THE VALUE OF POSITIVE OPINION. • It was Sidney Smith (who vacs a keen observer of human affairs), we believe, who said that a great deal of talent is lost to the world from the want of courage, 1ho teen who has the courage of his c,rurictions, and is not afraid to avow them, is always a useful man as long.as he stands inside the lines of sound morals and legi- timate ll um:: 1 rights. Indeed, when he gets somewhat outside the: lines, he may still be useful by provoking thought and dis- cussion that will drive him inside, if he is an honest man, and that will at any rate prevent others from standing in a false position. The truth often suffers fi•om stag- nation :lad ought to be stirred up; it suffers less by discussion than from being let alone. Rubbing it makes it brighter, .just as it floes with gold and silver and precious stones. Positive opinions beget opposition, of course; but the world and the church need them all the same. Those who are afraid to express them in behalf of truth can take the av 11 re- sponsibility of silence, but truth will march forward without them. But where will they be when they see it marchinglon ?— [New York Evangelist.

An extraordinary attempt at intimi ' dation has been made by Mr Raikes, Postmaster -General in the Britt Government. As many of our reader are no doubt aware, the telegraphs o the motherland have for over 20 yea been in the hands of the Government and the clerks are therefore direotl responsible to the Postmaster -Genera whose department is charged with thei oversight. The men have been agita ting for better hours and increased re muneration, as they have a perfec right to do, but Mr Raikes, apoeiule Tory autocrat that he is, holds to th opinion that these hardworking clerk have no right to meet and conside their grievances, at least not withon his being cognizant of their every move for he has issued an order forbiddin them to meet unless his official short hander is preesnt to take down ever word that is uttered. The Nations Conference of Telegraphers, which ha just held its meeting at Leicester, ha very properly denounced, the Postmas- ter's order as tryannioal and unconsti tutional. They resolved that their leisure time belonged to themselves, and decided to refuse admission to the notetaker. The men are well organized and full of fight, and as Raikes is as obstinate as a mule, he may force mat- ters to a general strike. The experi. ence shows how unreasonable the aver- age Tory boss is apt to become when dressed in a little brief authority. Minard's Liniment relieves Neuralgia. People living in the upper part of New Haven, are agitated over the death of Paul Gebhardt, a young son of Paul Gebhardt, editor of the Conneti- cut Volksblatt. They boy died after suffering a week from spasms and a rupture brought on by a severe thrash- ing received at the hands of Principal J. G. Lewis, of the Webster school. The lad was a cripple, but with all his physical defects he was a remarkably bright boy, full of pranks, and ever ready for a good time. He was a fav- orite with his school -fellows and with several of them played truant on Mon- day afternoon. After being reprimnaded by his father the boy returned to school and his teacher, Mise Mallahan, re- ported his absence to Principal Lewis. What followed is not exactly known be- yond the fact that his parents say:— "Paul was strapped to a bench with ropes around his thighs and his ankles. In this position Mr Lewis flogged him until his frantic struggles overturned the bench and his piteous cries brought the neighbors in the vicinity to demand what was going on." When released he i was assisted to his home by several of the pupils in the school. On his back were the welts from the rattan used by Lewis. Several German and American physicianstes- tify that he died from the effects of the beating. Dr Oulman in dais cer- tificate of death says that the boy was subject to epileptic fits, and was so severely punished that the fits were brought on with fatal results.
