AN ENORMOUS LEGACY.

Peggy Strutters inhabited a cosy thatchhouse in the vicinity of Strathaven, and shortly after the death of her husband an acquaintance called to condole with her.

"*« Willie '11 hae left ye VrawT ah' weel"?* cautiously queried th§

' Ou ay, Guid be thankit, I'll no need to scart a ueebor's pah-itch pat /at ony rate,' replied Peggy. . , •

'He wad leave the feck o' twa hunner pund, I'll warrant?'

'Tuts, haverhi' twa hunner pund!' exclaimed the widow. ' Woman, he left the hale world ahint him ; what d'ye think o T that?'

THE NEW PHILOSOPHY. Across the moorlands of the Not

We chase the grusome When, And hunt the Itness of the What

Through forests of the Then. Into the inner consciousness

We track the crafty Where ; We spear the Ergo tough, and beard The Ego in his lair. With lassoes of the brain we catch

The Isness of the Was, And in the copses of the Whence

"We hear, the Think bees buzz. We climb the slippery Which bark tree To watch the Thusness roll, And pause betimes in gnostic rhymes To woo the Over-Soul.
