H is face, his very voice, seemed to come

have left its hom e of bliss to keep w ith
her th a t sacred anniversary. T he fancy
consoled her beyond expression. She
glanced over a t th e sleeping hoy, w ith a

ed over him . T hen a sudden Im pulse shot
across her m ind. She w ould n o t keep the
anniversary of her w edding day in the g a r­
m en ts of widowhood; she would p u t on

F o r aw hile, a fte r she had heard his

I hear that a respectable north coun

getting to Australia in 12 hours—a
means so simple that I fancy it must
have occurred to a good many people al
ready. Every one knows that the world
spins rouhd on its axis once in 24 hours,
whence it is clear that, if you hang
yourself up somewhere and wait, in 12
hours A ustralia w ill be under your feet,
aud you w ill only have to step down in
order to be comfortably there. The good
m erchant proposes to send passengers up
in a well appointed balloon, where they
will w ait until A ustralia comes round.
It is an admirable scheme.—Pall Mall
