The nlr was with sweet life pulsing;, and
Swung gciitlv In cimiico of Incense, whero .
the Master knelt apart,
Allnight lie had prayed and wrestled'mlrt

Llko cathedral aisle, made sacred each

Tho people throng about him, and fairer
than blessed taper, i
Consecrated for nyo by prayer, and tho
wreathing Incense vapor,
Glowetl those eyes of temtercst azure, from
tho Hps such pearls of pralso,
Falling on those eager spirits, sent a glory
through their days.
Ah. those words! llko holy chant coming

And the smile I as sweet as saints, Ion
Invested with tho nnlni.
Lol tho hell of Coil's great peaco through

Anil they felt the shining ones sometimes
, brush them with their wings.
Up the alslo camo hurrying footsteps ; sco,
tho haughty Scribe Is tliero, ,.
And tho iMiarlseo's broad phylacteries
seem to stir tho dreamy air,
Ever tn tho world's glad pean breathes an
undertone of woo;
Side by side, like shine and shadow, puro
and wretched come and go ,
Slowly bowed tho blessed head, till tho

Vollod tho eyes of wondrous pity was.

Ah I thnt voice of tender pathos: " Let tho

Ono by ono tho crowd departed, leaving'

Bowing low; with a sweep of glos9y hair

And ,hcr voice was sud anfl low,, like a

In her soul tho fair white petals blossomed

THE JUD&E'S' STORY;
" I don't seo how I coulil,havo' done
more lor hiiri than I did ; but still' tho
man should not 1iave been punished
be should havo been' acquittal.."
With these words the Judgo awoke
to tho consciousness that lie had a fel-low-traveler
; and then, as if somo ex
planation .of his remark would bo in
order, he went on;
" We had a yery Interesting trial In
Austin! last week. Tom Carberry -Irish
Tom he is called was tried' for
murder. I defended htm, and never
1 struggled harder for a client in my life.
For a week before, and throughout the
trial, 1 worked ulcht and day to look
up testimony, and to present the case
to, the jury in the best possible light.
1 consulted with all tho attorneys1 not
engaged for the prosecution. We got
