Solomon - that wee the name he was known by. for nobody knew his real nine -- was about 60 years old and one of the hard- est workers in the vicinity. He scraped and .eared and was as mean en old chap In hu bsheviur toward his fellows es you oould wish to see. He lived alone anal had no- thing to do with anybody : and never went away from hie farm for he was • sheep end cattle herder -except when he journeyed to Sidney to make sales and get his moray. What he did with his money was a mystery. Tame and again had his odd shanty been rummaged by robbers anises—eh of hidden treasure, mut they never found so much as ■ penny by way of reward for their puns : and so was left undisturbed. Now he was dying. 5Ce entered the tumble-down hovel which be called home with reverent steps, for to the very roughest of men there is always something, which subdues and awn in the presence of death The old man ley on a neap of straw In a owner. and on the dingy pillow at an .nor mous oat with glassy green eyes, glaring at the white face of her dying master.

Blessed are the deed who die in the Lord." She had been dead 17 years. And poor old Solomon had labored hard and pinched himself of the necessaries of life for nothing. Ye: not quite that. Anne's old, mid mother still lived, rapidly neenog her five - score years, and the mosey which had been sent to her daughter had beau all that had kept her out of the poor -home.

C., who has figured so prominently at Wentworth Aemzea this week. Mr. Ost..r is president of the Hamilton and Dundee ltalroad, and he is also one of the principal stock h..lders in the concern, so Wednesday evening he thought he would take • run out to Dundas to see how the railroad system was working. He reached the Valley Town in safety and after looking around the town for • while with one or two fnends he hoarded the train to return to the city. The lawyer settle 1 himself comfortably down in • corner of the parlor oosch and immediately_ iet his thoughts go out on legal matters. e was so engroseed with has thinking that he dad not see the conductor of the train until that official shoved the fare -box under his nose and politely re- quested him to chip M. The great Q. wa nonplussed for a moment. " What," said be, " don't you know that 1 am Area, dent of this roed, and that i ride over it free.' The conductor was • pew moo or be might have known this, but is his two week's experience on the road he had been given to understand that every 'dummy' passenger must either pay or produce a pass, and he did not know B. R. Osier, Q. C from any other stranger. "Well, you show me your pass'" he added. " Oh,- laughed the lawyer, " 1 haven't • pass, but i amore you, my dear air, 1 am president of this road" Ha laugh was by O o means • mirthful one and the conductor became suspicious "i'm sorry said the conductor, with the least shade of irritation in his voice, "but I gems you'll have to pay Yon see, you may be what you represent yourself to be all right, but i don't know you, .d a000rd- imi to the rales you must whelk up." The Q. C. "whacked app" without furtler argument, bat when he dropped his fifteen orate in the slot the smile faded from nos face and he Meted tired.

Only fragments of Nis (,tiueimlan Syriac were before known, obtained from odd leave. of parchment found in the Nd- trian Monastery. Scholars will be very much interested to know that this new manuscript, which we hope will he pub- lished before lung, does not contain the last eight verses of Mark, although the Nitrian fragments do contain part of them. We can hardly say what may not yet be expected. Within the last new years there have been discovered a commentary, from which we recover much of the Uiatesseron of Tatian, the Teaching of the Apostles, the Apology of Aristides, portions of fragments a the Jerusalem Syriac version of the New Testament. and the Gospel and Revela- tion of Peter. If we went back a little further we should have to add the Sini- tic manuscript. the Phihsaophumena of Hippolytus. Now what we most want to tied are the writings of Papier and the Aramaic Matthew.
