"Where have you been' so long? We have been so lonesome. It made mam ma cry, and when I said my prayers, mamma said if I prayed hard God would keep you safe and bring you home, and oh, papa, He has, He has! You will never go away again, will you?" And she twined her little arms around his neck and kissed him with childish fervor. The strong man shook with emotion, and a great sob burst from him as he bowed his head upon little Marjorie's neck and asked: "And mamma would she wish it?" "Oh, yes! She will not cry any more If you stay mamma! mamma! Where are you?" "Here, dear," responded May, as she entered the room. 'Tapa Is never going away again, and we shall have him all of the time. Oh, aren't we glad, mamma?" May, remembering her husband's words when he came in, looked at him inquiringly. "Shall! stay, May?" "Say yes, mammaoh, say yes, quick!" cried the child. "Harold," she said, and her voice rang with truth, "as my heavenly father bears me witness, your suspicions were most unjust unfounded. From the day that I met you at the altar your honor has been as dear to me as my own, and I have been faithful to you in thought, word and deed. I can only answer your question by asking an other: My husband, can you trust me?" "Yes, May, my own true wife. My eyes have been opened, and I have longed, oh, how I have longed for this hour! Take me back to your heart, my darling one, and let us begin agaia. Come, May, cottie to me." Half an hour later the young wife, with a happy smle upon her sweet face, pointed to little Marjorie, as she lay sleeping In her father's arms. "Yes," said the father as he ga2ed upon the upturned face, "the little peacemaker's mission is finished, and she sleeps."

Every year there are picked up in the gutters of London, or taken from pawn brokers' shops, jewels amounting in value from fifteen to twenty thousand pounds. These are duly advertised; but for many reasons even people who rec ognize the description of their own property In the advertisements do not care to claim It, and it thus comes about that the proportion of property left unclaimed js a large one. It is the rule, Indeed, that where such valu ables have not previously been report ed to the police by their owners as missing they are seldom claimed after wards. The Loudon police keep all such property for twelve months, ad vertising It In three dally papers dur ing that period. If no one claims It, and the account of the finder seems rea sonable, it Is handed over to the latter, the police deducting the cost of the ad vertisements only. If a pawnbroker has detained the article and no one claims it, the police at the end of twelve months give the pawnbroker a reward; and here let it be said that these re wards often amount In a year to a large sum. In this latter case the article U sold, aud the surplus money, after the reward bus ben paid, Is handed over, not to the police funds, as most people Imagine, but to the relief and mainten ance of discharged prisoners.

"Lighter Mouieut" Is the title of a modest little book, chiefly anecdotes of thee lergy, recently published In Lon don by the executors of the late Bishop Wnlshnni How. He relates a couple of anecdotes of Archbishop Magee. When that dignitary was Dlshop of Peter borough he was walking with the Bish op of Hereford by the Wye, and said: "If you will give me your river I will give you uiy see." There is this other story also In Bishop How's collection: "A lady who was a great admirer of a certain preacher took Bishop Magee with her to hear him. and asked hlru afterward what lie thought of the ser mou. 'It was very long,' the Bishop said. 'Y'es,' said the lady, 'but there was a saint in the pulpit.' 'Ami a mar tyr in the pew,' rejoined the Bishop." Dr. How had the following definition: "Dr. B of Oswestry has three horses, which he has named 'High Church,' 'I)w Church' and 'Broad Church.' The reason he gives is that the first Is always on his knees, the sec ond never, and as for the third you never know what he will do next" Can Obliterate Itself.
