The windows were draped with handsome lace curtains and crowned with greenery. At the back of Hie pulpit was placed a large mirror, around which were ferns, Ivy and white chrysanthemums. On either side of the arch was holly, against which was banked graceful Hosten ferns. Along the chancel rall were many lighted candles, which, with the mel lowed light from swinging lamps, suffused a soft radiance over the darkened church and brought out in clenr distinctness two lovely pillows of white lilies, which stood on either side of the steps leading up to the platform., carpeted in white. On either side of the aisle the ends of the seats were lovely In the decora tions of white ribbons and chrysan themums. As two of tho ushers, T. N. Carter, Jr., and C. D.

But it's ai ither thing at night To sit alone by candle light, Or gang to rest when sharp wind* bite Without a wi fey. It's vera wool, when young and hale But when you're old and crazed and frail, And your blithe spirit 'gins to fall. You'll want a wlfey. But mayhap then the lassies dear Will treat your offers with a sneer; Because ye'er cranky, gray and sere Ye'il get nae wifey. Then haste ye, haste ye, silly loon! Rise up and seek about the toon And get Heaven's greatest earthly boon, A wee bit wlfey. Almost Lost His Lifo. S. A.
