There is a brisk, quarrel in the Unh'L. ed Statea over the question who ori- ginated the World's Fair as a celebra- tion of the discovery of Atnerice, It did not originate at all iu the United States, but in Canada. Montreal, whose two hundred and fifthieth birth• day also contes upon this year was the first to propose it and then New York greedily snatched at the idea. Mont. teal did not struggle very hard for her own, for she was conscious 3f some misgiving as to whether she was big enough and rich enough to carry it through. However, when Chic•igo, in turn, grabbed the Fair from under the very nose of New York, XI -introit' felt avenged against the thief, and whon Chicago asked for AIvntreal's rocom mendatian of it to Congress an the proper dile for the'Werld's Fair she had Montreal's support, This is the history of the ori -sin of the Fair and how Chicego time to get it—l!i through Montreal !

From the New -York Advertiser. David G. Yeungling, Jr., entoltain ed a number of his friends at his bre w• e.ry the other day with the story of the origin of bock beer. Two noblemen in Bavaria were rival brewore—brew ingbeing always in German countries a noble pursuit. The rivals for a long times vied with each other in the strength of their respective brews. They visited each other and drank of each other's beer. On etre occasion Brewer No. 1 visited No. 2 at his castle. 'rhe beer wee especially strong. No 1 drank heavily, and when he took his departure a belligerent goat. in the castle yard deliberatly knocked him out. The cries of the butted brewer brought a relief party. When found prone upon the ground he was unable to arise on account of his cargo of beer. He told his story of the goat, brit his entertainer knew that the strong beer had much to do with hie case, and so he adopted the rampant goat as his trade mark and gide the name of "bock" to his beer. That's the legend in a nutshell. APPLES CONSIDERED MEDICALLY. Chemically the apple is composed of vegetable fibre, albumen, finger, gum, chlorophyl, malic acid, gelllio acid, lime and much water. Further more the German analysts say that the apple contains a larger percentage of phoss pborus than any other fruit or vegetable. The phosphorous is admirably adapted for renewing the essential nervous matter of the brain and spinal chord. Also the acids of the apple are of. single use for men of sedentary habits, whose livers are sluggish in actio.n, those acids serving to eliminate from the body nox- ious matter, which if retained, would make the brain heavy and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin eruptions and other allied troubles. The malic acid of apples either raw or cooked will neutra- lize any excess of chalky matter engen- dered by eating too much meat. Fresh fruits,as the apple, peer and plum when taken ripefand without sugar, diminish acidity of the stomach rather than pro- voke it. Their vegetable juices are con• verted into alkaline carbonates, which tends to counteract acidity.—Medical Age. Consumption Cured.

May 7.—hev. Dr. Talmage is in the city to day participa- ting in the services at the ordination of his son, Itev. Frank Talmage, to the ministry. He has dictated the following sermon on a timely and seasonable topic: "May -Time Thoughts," the text selected beiug the beautiful words of Solomon's Song, 4; 15, "A fountaiu of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon." Some of the finest gardens of olden tunes were to be found at the foot of Mount Lebanon. Snow descended and winter whitened the topof the mountain; then when the warm spring weather cane the snows melted and poured down the side of the mountains and gave great luxuriance b the gardens at the foot; and you see now the allusion of my text when it speaks of the fountain of gardens and streams from Lebanon. Again and again the church Ds repre- sented as a garden, all up and down the Word of God, and it is a figure specially suggestive at this season of the year, when the parks and the orchards are about to put forth their blossom, and the air is filled with bird -voices. A mother wished to impress her child with the love of God; and so in the springtime, after the ground had been prepared in the garden, she took a hand- ful of flower -seed, and scattered these seeds in the shape of letters all across the bed of the garden. ' Weeks passed by, and the rains and the sunshine had done their work, and one day the child came in and said, "Mother, come quickly to the garden—come now." The mother followed the child to the garden, and the little child said, "Look here, mother! see, it is spelt all over theground in flowers, 'God is Love.' " 0 my friends! if we only had faith c::ouele we could see Gospel lessons all around and about us—lessons in shells ou tie beach, lessons in sparkles on, the wave, lessons in the stars on the sky, lessons in flowers all over the earth. Well. my friends, you know very well that there have been some beautiful gar- dens created. There was the garden of Charlemagne, and you remember that this king ordered gardens laid wit all through the realm, and decided by de- cree cf government what kind of flow- ers should be planted in those gardens. Henry IV., at Montpellier, decreed that there should be planted flowers through- out his realm, and gardens laid out, and he specially decreed that there should be Alpine • pyrena and French plants. S::eustote, the poet, was more celebrat- ed f, r his gardens than for poetry ; his poetry Inas faded from the ages for the roust parr, but Itis gardens are immortal; to all the beauty of his place lie added perfection of ark Palisade and arch at.d aruur and fountain and rustic temple had their most wonderful speci- mens. and the oak and the hazel anu the richest woods of the forest were planted in that garden. Ile had genius and he had industry, and all his genius and all his industry he applied to the beautifies. - Con of his garden. He gave for it $1500, and he sold it at last for 885,000, or what was equal to that number of dollars. It was an expensive garden, laid out with great elaboration. And yet I have to tell you now of a garden of vaster expanse—tho garden. spoken of in my text—a fountain of gardens with the streams from Lebanon. Walter Scott had the great ambition of - his life to build Abuotsiord and lay out extensive gardens round about it. It broke his heart that he could not com- plete the work as he desired it. At his last payment of £100,000, after laying out those gardens, and budding that palace of Abbotsford. at that time his heart broke, his health failed, and, he died al- most an imbecile. A few years ago, when I walked through those gardens, and I thought at what vast expense they had peen laid out, at the expense of that man's life, it seemed I could see in the crimson flowers the blood of the olcl man's • broken heart. But I have to tell you now of a garden laid out at vaster expense—who can cal- culate that vast .expense. Tell nre, ye women who watched Hint hang, tell me, ye executors who lifted and let Hint down ; tell me, thou sun that didst hide, and ye rocks that did fall, what the lay- ing out of this garden cost. This morn- ing, aurid the aroma and brightness of the springtime, it is appropriate that I show you how the Church of Christ is a garden. I remark first, it is a garden because of the rare plants in it. That would be a strange garden in which there were no flowers. If you cannot find them any- where else you will find then along the paths, and you will find them at the gateway. If there be no especial taste and no es- pecial means, you will find there the hollyhock, and the daffodil, and the dahlia. if there be no especial taste and no especial means, you will find the Mexican cactus, and the blue -bell. and the arbutus, and the clusters of olean- ders. Flowers there must be in every gar- den, and I have to tell you that in. the garden of the church are the rarest plants. Sometimes you will find the violet, inconspicuous, but sweet as heaven—Christian souls, with no pre- tence, but of vast usefulness, compara- tively unknown on earth, blit to bo glorious in celestial spheres. Violets and violets all the time. You cannot tell where these Christians have been, save by the brightening face of the inva- lid, or the steaming tureen on the stand near the pillow, or the new curtain that keeps out the glare of the sun from the poor man's cot. Snch characters are perhaps better typified by the ranuncu- lus, which goes creeping between the thorns and the briars of this life, giving a kiss for a sting ; and many a man has thought that life before him was a black rock of tronble, and found it covered all over with delightsome jessamine of Christian sympathy. In this garden of the Lord I find the Mexican cactus, loveliness tvithin, thorns without, men with great sharpness of behavior and manner, but within them the peace of God, the love of God, the grace of God. They aro hard men to handle, ugly men to touch, very apt to strike back when you strike them, yet within them all loveliness and attraction, while outside so completely unfortunate Mexican cactus all the time. Said a placid elder to a Christian minister, "Doctor, y'ou would do better to control your temper." "Alt 1" said the minister to. the placid elder, "I, con- trol: more temper in AVG ttainutre * ulna you do in ftve years."e These people, gifted mets, who have greaatexasperatio.n • et manner, and seem to..be very ttilferent from wlritt they should be, really have in their souls that which conunencts them, to the Lord, Mexican cactus all the time. So a man said to me years ago, "Do you think I ought to become a mem- ber of the church -1 have such a violent temper ? Yesterday I was crossing Jersey City Ferry. It was very early in the morning, and I saw a milkman putting a large quantity of water into his can, and I said, 'That is enough, sir,' and he got off the cart and iustttted no, and I knocked hint down. 'Well,' he said, 'do you think I could ever become a Christian?'" That man had•in his soul the grace of the Lgrd Jesus, but outs?de ho was full of thorns, and full of branches, and full of ex- asperations; but he could not hear the story of a Saviour's mercy told without having the tears roll down his cheek. There was loveliness within, but rough- ness outside. Mexican cactus all the time. But I rememl.er in boyhood that we had in our father's garden what we called the Giant of Battle, a peculiar rose, very red and very fiery. Suggestive flower, it was called the Giant of Battle. And so in the garden of the Lord we find that kind of flower—the Pauls and Martin Luthers, the Wycliffes, the John Knoxes —Giants of Battle. What in other men is a spark, in them is a conflagration. when they play, their prayers take fire; When they s fft r they sweat great drops of blood; when they preach it is a pente- cost; when they fight it is a Thermopylae; when they die it is martyrdom,—Giants of Battle. You say, "Why have we not more of them in the Church of Christ at this time?" I answer your question by asking another : "Why have we not more Cromwells and Hutnboldts in the world?" God wants only a few Giants of Battle ; they do their work and they do it well. But I find also in the Church of God a plant I shall call the snowdrop. Very beautiful, but; cold ; beautiful as the snowdrop, and as cold as the snowdrop. No special sympathy. That kind of man never lcwcs his patient,; he never weeps, he never flashes with anger, he never utters a rash word. Always cold, al- ways precise, always passive, beautiful snowdrop, but I don't like Trim. I would rather have one Giant of Battle than 5000 snowdrops. Give Inc a man who may make some mistakes in his ardor for the Lord's ser • vice, rather than that kind of nature which spends its whole life doing but one thing, and that is keeping equili- brium. There are snowdrops in all the churches—men without any sympathy. Very good ; they are in • the garden of the Lord, therefore I know they ought to be there ; but always snowdrops. You have seers in some paces perhaps a century plant. I do not suppose there is a person in this house who has e'er seen more than one century plant in full bloom, and when you see the century plant your emotion, are stirred. You look at it and say: "This flower has been gathering up its beauty fur a whole cen- tury. and it will not gloom again for an- other hundred years." Well, I have to tell you that in this garden of the church, spoken of in my text, there is a century plant. It has gathered up its bloom from all the ages of eternity, and nineteen ceu• Curies ago it put forth its glory. It is •not only a century plant but a passion- flower—the passion -flower of Cl rist; a crimson flower, blood at the root, and blood on the leaves, the passion -flower of Jesus, the century plaut of oternitys Come, 0 .t inds from the north and winds from the south, and winds front the east, and winds from the west and scatter the pPrfutne of this flower through all na- tions. - ltis worth, if all the nations knew, Sure the whole earth would love nim too. Thou, the Christ of all the ages, hast garments smelling of myrrh and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces. ' I go further, and say the church of Christ is appropriately compared to a garden because of its thorough irriga- tion. There can be no luxuriant garden without pleuty of water. ,. I saw a gar- den in the midst of a desert, aurid the Rocky Mountains. I said, How• is it possible that you have so many flowers, so much rich fruit in a desert for miles around ? I suppose same of you have seen those gardens. Well, they told me they had aqueducts and pipes reaching tip to the hills, and the snow melted on the sierra Nevada and the Rocky Moun- tains and sten poured down in water to those aqueducts, and it kept the fields in great lu<ilriance. And I thought to my- bell—how like the garden of Christ I All around it the bareness of sin and the bareness of the world, but our eyes nre unto the hills, from whence cometh our help. There is a river the streams whereof shall make glad the city of our God, the fountain of gardens and streams from Lebanon. Water to slake the thirst, water to, •refresh the fainting, water to wash the unclean, water to toss up in fountains under the sun of righteousness, until you can see the rainbow around the throne. I wandered in a garden of Brazilian cashew -nut, and I saw the luxuriance of those gardens were helped by the abun- dant -supply of water. I carne to it on a day when strangers were not admitted, hut, by a strange coincidence, at the mo- ment I got in, tine king's chariot passed and the gardener went up on the hill and turned on the water, and it came flashing down4 the broad stairs of stone, until sunlight and wave in gleesome wrostlo tumbled at niy feet. And so it is with this garden -of Christ. Everything conies from above—pardon from above, peace from above, comfort from above, sanctification from above. Streams from Lebanon,' oh ! the consolation in this thouglit. Would God that the gardeners turned on the fountain of salvation until the place where we sit and stand might become Elim with twelve wells of water and threescore and ten palm -trees. But I hear his sound at the garden gate. I hear the lifting of the latch of the gate. Who comes there ? It is the Gardener, who passes in through the garden gate. He comes through this path of the garden, add He comes to the aged man, and He says, "Old man, I come to help thee, I come to strengthen thee. Down to hoary hairs I will shelter then ; I will give thee strength at the time of old age; I will not leave ; I will never forsake thee. Peace, broken-hearted old man, I will bo thy consolation forever." And then Christ the Gardener comes up another path of the garden, and He sees a soul in great trouble, and He says, "Hush, troubled spirit, the sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night, the Lord shall preserve thee from all eviA, the Lord shall preserve thy soul." And then the Gardener comes up another path of the garden, and He xolae3 where there are' non e. beautiftilt lace„° slid I say, itStep, 0 clhrdener, do not break themoft', Dot He breaks. theta off, the beautiful butts, and 1 see a great flutter anroung.the leaves, and I wonder what 1ltl \lcing,''and Ile says, "I do not dome to destroy these flowers • I am only going to plant them in a higher terrace, and hi the garden around My palace. I have come into My garden to gather lilies. I must take back a whole cluster of rosebuds. Peace, troubled soul; all WW1 be well. Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid then] not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Qlr, glorious Gardner of the Church! Christ comes to it now, and He has a right to come. We look into the face of the Gardener as Ile breaks off the bud, and we say: -Thou are worthy to have them; thy will be done." The hardest prayer a bereaved father or mother ever uttered— •Thy will be done." But you have noticed that around every king's garden,there is a high wall You may have stood at the wall of a king's court and thought "How I would like to see the garden;" and while you were watching, the gardener opened the gate and the royal equipage swept through it, and you caught a glimpse of the garden, but only a glimpse, for then the gates closed. I bless God that this Garden of Christ has gates on all sides, that they are opened by day, opened by night, and whosoever will may come in, Ohl how many there are who die in the desert when they might revel in the garden! How many there aro who are seeking in the garden of this world that satisfaction which they can never find! THE DRUMMER'S ADVENTURES.

In this huge city of Chicago, the seat of the World's r'air of 1898, and unduubt. edly destined to Le the greatest exhibi- tion of the kind tee world has ever seen, the weather has been of the most wretched description fur some time past, and this morning was no exception to the rule. The day, the opening day, lo which so litany had Leen looking for- ward with such pleasaut exlrectaaey, opened with cold wind and chitty rain ; but nothing could droop the ardor of the hundreds of tliousuuds of enthusias- tic citizens and sight -seers who were determinded to do honor to the great occasion. Mud was everywhere, but the multitudes ploughed through .it ener- getically in the direction of the exhibi- tion grounds ; and, by ten o'clock in the forenoon, everywhere inside the gates there was a seething mass of humanity waiting for the t pening ceremony to begin. Much to the general de- light, the rain clouds cleated away about 11 o'clock ; and the sun, as if in glorious approval, shone forth in all his brilliancy. Then every- thing went on smoothly. There was a grand procession, in which, of course, President Grover Cleveland was the central figure, but which included many other dignitaries such as members of the U. S. Cabinet, representatives of foreign courts, troops of American soldiers as well as soldiers from many other lands ; the whole making up a Most brilliant pageant. The air resounded with cheer- ing all along the line of march, and it would be impossible to describe the out- burst of enthusiasm when Mr. Cleveland and the distinguished individuals ac- companying hitt made their appearance on toe large platform which ttad been erected for their accommodation, The greetings of the President were of the most cordial description. The opening ceremonies went on in sight of the vuet" multitude, but as will bo readily under- stood, in the herring of only a limited number. 'Titers was music by 'a grand ercliestra, and prayer by the blind chaplain, R •v. Dr. Millburn:, Just past the noon hour. the President, after having delivered an appropriate :nation, touched the little goad button which was to set the wheels riwviig, and the vast machinery of the World s Fair took its new life. Thou- sands of hands pulled thousands of ropes, and at once thousands of flags of all shapes and sizes, representing all nations on the face of the earth, saluted the President• while at the same time salutes were firer' from the men of war in the harbor. Hundreds of bells joined in the joyous acclaim, and the.crowds of people almost went crazy with excitcrn..nt as they realis.1 that the great World's Columbian Exposition was at 1,st an accomplished fact. The excitement con- tinued without abatement until the close of the day, but the crowd was a good humored one throughout and everything passed off merrily. Before closing nay references to the opening I may say that anions- those who attended the ceremony wereAeting- Prernier Hon. MacKenzie Bowell and Hon. A. R. Angers, Minister of Agricul- ture of the Dominion, both of whom had been specially invited to be present, and both of whom enjoyed their experi- ences very highly during their stay in the city. The Exhibition itself is in a decidedly backward condition as yet, and it may as well be understood that, generally speaking, it will not be in a finished state for at least a month yet. The Ex- hibition buildings proper are about com- plete; but it is the arrangement of the exhibits in tltetn that is away beliiitd- hand. Canadian exhibitors may find some consolation in the fact that their exhibits are just as forward as those of any other country, and a long distance ahead of some of them. The existing backwardness is in no sense the fault of the Commissioners, but is entirely owing to the congested condition of spur rail- ways leading into and through Jackson Park. Hundreds of carloads of exhibits have been delayed on the sidings for weeks through the fault of the railway companies, and it will take some time yet before order succeeds the existing chaos. But our Canadian Commission is snaking good progress and the exhibits from the different provinces are al- ready attracting considerable atten- tion. Mr. J. 8. Larke, the Dominion Executive Commissioner, and Mr. W. D. Dimock, the secretary, are indefatigable in their efforts, which are well seconded by the commissioners and other repre- sentatives front the provinces. This afternoon President Cleveland • while making a round of the manufacturers' building, paid a visit to the Canadian section, where he was cordially welcom- ed and given rousing cheers by Mr. Dimock and the other gentlenten in charge. Mr. Cleveland acknowledged by a neat little speech, in which he spoke of the friendly relations subsisting be- tween the United States and Canada. Of course all the exhibits are not in position, but the presidential party were apparent- ly very touch interested in diose that were. A description of the building that has been erected by Canada will be of much interest. The Canadian Pavilion stands upon a site of nearly 6000 square feet of ground on the lake shore, but a short distance from the United States battle ship, and almost opposite Victoria House — the handsome and substantial building that has been erected by Great Britain—and in one of the most delightful localities in Jackson Park, The view from the "look -out" on the tower of the Pavilion is simply perfect. It extends on one side to where the restless waters of the great lake seem to kiss the dis- tant horizon ; and on the other sides takes in the magnificent pier, the architecturally beautiful Peristyle and Music Hall, with glimpses of the historic convent of Rabida, the great Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Build- ing with its rich Corinthian architecture, the United States Government Building —that architectural poem—the Fisheries Building, and many of the fine and expensive edifices erected by foreign na- tions. The Canadians are delighted with the site awt.rded them, and would not exchange with any other state or nation in the park. The Pavilion has three entrances ; v Mirk or front enc! ent'e facing the sotitlt•, east, ttttti two,end entrelee seen .the tient' attd wog respectively. The front en- trance is through the tower and haq three doorways, and opposite this Main entrance is the 1pa3nd stairway, beneath and in the rear of which aro wt1ttcrott; and well -fitted lavatorit-o. In the entrance hall are located am' postoflice, the telephone t filch, and an in- telli•-ence office. In the latter sere kept registers giving p1l possible infoi•ntatiun to visiting Canadians ats to lodgings, board, the whereabouts of friettls in Chicago, and other information that may- be useful to Canadian visitors tit the World's Columbian Exposition. Off the entrance halt is the reception rr,efrt. Over fitehundred Canadian newspapers are on file here, so that a Canadian visi- tor can hardly come from any part of the vast Dinneen' without finding the newspaper of his locality, and is• tints enabled to keep himself au fait with events at home. To the left of the main entrance are two handgonte offices for the Dominion Commission, while the other four offices on this floor are occu- pied by the Coituiissiooeis • from the provinces of Ontario and Quolec. On the first floor are two more offices for the Dominion Counmission,'`four for Commissioners from different provinces of Cauada,a Committee Ruom,and a fine large parlor for the use of the whole staff. Ou the second floor are the Towtr- Room and the Smoking Room, and in the attic. above is the dormitory fur the guardian of the Pavilion. As the sum appropriated for the ereo- Lion of the Pavilion was limited, a plain style of architecture had to be adopted. Running around all sides of the building is a verandah ten feet wide- with a balcony of the sante width. The balcony is supported by 28 Tuscan columns. The walls at the eaves of the rout are finished with a bold dental cornice. The pavilion is covered with a low pitched roof partly hidden by a paiaquet watt The tower as it i:,sues through the roof is circular and is divided into twelve panels, beneath these are detached pilasters. The walls are finished with a dental cornice, over which is an open balustrade. Over this is the "look -out" whence rises the flag pole front which from sunrise to sunset proudly floats the Cauadian flag. There is a well -finished stairway from the ground floor- to the "look -out" of the tower, whence, as al- ready stated, a fine view cau be obtain- ed of the lake and surrounding park and buildings. There is no plaster work in any part of the inter;or of this Pavilion ; the walls and ceilings being handsomely finished with native Canadian ' woods, highly poli lied and show': g :he ural grain. Each Province of Canada has fundi lied the native woods required to finish its individual rooms. One oiliee, o•cupied by the Commissioner aucl staff from Ontario, has a ceiling in pine, walls of chestnut, wainscotting in t.ak, mouldings and mantel in cherry, doors of oak, chair rail walnut, and floor of maple ; and the second office has a ceiling of maple, walls oak, wainscotting birch. mantel bird's-eye maple, floor white maple, moulding asst, and chair tail walnut. The Commission from the Province of Quebec will have luxuriant quarters in one office, with a ceiling finished in white maple, walls of bird's-eye maple, wainscotting of butter- nut, mantel of cherry, doors of ash, and cherry mouldings ; while their second room has a ceiling of pine,• walls ot asst, mantels of butternut, wainscotting of birch, doors of ash, . and mouldings of cherry. The rooms to be occupied by the Dominion Cominission, the committee room, reception room, corridors, etc., are to be finished with tinker from British Columbia—the ceilings being of Douglas pine, the walls of cedar, the wain- scotting of spruce, the doors of cedar, co lar mouldings, and the beautiful Douglas pine also for floors. The rooms to be occupied by the other representa- tives from the other provinces of Canada are finished in a similar manner, and with woods indigenous to the different localities. 'i'lte main stairway is con- structed of British Columbia woods—the treads of the stair being of Douglas fir, the strings of cedar, and the newel posts, hand railings and bannisters being of curly maple. Around the Pavilion is a neat plot of ground covered with a beautiful green turf, ,lotted here and there with native Canadian shrubbery and conveniently and artistically divided with serpentine roadways and walks. This building,. with its furnishings and surroundings, cost over $30,000, was designed by the Public Works Department at Ottawa, and the work of Construction was carried on by the Deem .'menes assistant archi- tect, Mr. D. Ewart. Need of An Internattonat Coln. At this time of year, when everybody is fretting about Letters of credit and alt the otherimakeshifts to avoid penury in a foreign land, it occurs to the mind un- skilled in questions of finance to wonder why we cannot have one single inter- national coin, which would be good wherever it is spent, says Kate Field's Washington. An entire international currency is a boon reserved for our grandchildren, but a single gold coin of about the value say of two dollars and a half would be an immense convenience to travellers. A moderate sunt in such coins would not be burdensome, and br,- fore leaving each country the national a currency could be exchanged into them at the hotel office or the nearest -shop without any fuss and feathers whatever_ Multiples of such a coin, to the extent of a hundred or more, would be easily portable, and fractions of it would not be large enough to cause serious embarrass- ment to most travelers. The amount of time and trouble with • tt, single inter-. national coin would save is a?tnost in• calculable. A scene in Manchester During the Cot- ton Famine, There eame at last a time when the war was ended, and then) was a •pathe- tic story of the'first bales of cotton being met by a crowd of hunger and trouble - worn factory operatives with sobs and tears, and cries of rapturous welcome— and of ono man—perhaps u father wlio had sat by a fireless hearth, broken of spirit and helpless, while his young swarrn cried for bread—a poor gaunt fel low who, lifting his hat with tears run- ning down his cheeks, raised his voice in the Doxology, one after another joining in, until the whole mass sang, in ono great swelling chorus : "Praise nod, from whom all blessings flow ; Praise lihn, all creanire. hire below ; Praise him above, ye heavenly host ; Praise Father, Son, and holy Ghost." The Small Person heard this story with a large lump in her throat. She felt that it meant so much, and that there must have been stralige sorrowful things going on in the cottages in the back streets.—Mrs, F. H. Burnett.
