Mother's Earrings.
"There ! Now is not this too
bad ! I have broken these ear-
rings ! Yesterday I did the same
to my pearl ones, I do think I aur
the most unfortunate girl I know."
"Well, dear, tlo not worry. They
can be mended," answered a gentle,
loving voice.
"But mamma in the meantime I
have none to wear."
Mrs. Fairleigh left the room.
Very soon she returned, and ]sand-
ing lottie a Little box, said,:
"There.,.l,oxoe,you can wear those.
I intended giving them to you for
your birthday ; but as you need
them now, it is just as well."
Lottio opened the box.. The
smile quickly fled, and a look of
groat disappointment was on the
pretty young face.
"\Vhat is it, dear?"
"Oh, mamma, they, are so old: -
fashioned."
"Yes, my love, I know they are
not just the style worn now ; but
they are genuine, and very fine,
and coral is so becoming. Do put
them on."
"Indeed, mamma, I can't wear
them. I'd lintel" sooner go without.
Please don't ask me.', -
With a pained expression on
her pale face, Mrs. Fairleigh said::
"I aur vary sorry my daeghter
loves fashion bettor than her
mother's pleasure."
lite.- e.
.r' keon.ly;.
but it did not improve her state of
feeling, Sho was disappointed and
mortified, and so in a voice full of
petulance; -answered : - • - • • •
• -"I do not seg why it is noeessal_y
for 'me to• make a spectacle of my-
self. Besides, my going without
earrings hurts no one."
Airs. Fairleigh turned' aside to
hide the tears which gathered
quickly in her eyes, but''ottio saw
thein.
Hurrying on her cloak and hat,
she went out without bidding her
mother good-bye. She felt miser-
able. Sho know well how ungrate-
fully she had acted, yet tried to
excuse herself by thinking
"Mamma might have known.
She ought to 'have remembered
when sho was young. She would
not have wantodto- wear things that
looked like those Dins. Noah wore."
Lottie waited ou the door steps
the coming of some ono ; a very
few minutes only, when a quick,
firm tread brought soma one to her
side.
"Have you been waiting,'Lottie?"
he asked.
"Not more than two minutes.
But, •Charley, what on earth made
you wear that funny -looking tie ?"
Lottio asked, her oyes expressing
immense surprise, while a smile
played obout the corners of her
pretty mouth.
"Funny -looking ! I atn glad
you think so. But I thought it
was a very sad -looking ouo. At
any rate, it was a sad trial to n:e�„t�`
have to wear it. Lhavo beol1 ex-
pecting to hear every urchin I canao
across sing out something about it,"
Charley said, with a conical ex-
pression on his handsome face.
"Well, how came you to wear it !
Do lot mo have a good look. Let's
see.. Brown satin, with orange and
scarlet flowers.. My, how very gay
WO aro!"
"Don't laugh, Lottie. I will tell
you how it was. Aunt Kitty made
it for mo.. This afternoon, When I
went up to dress, sho came to my
room, and brought it, saying she
was tired of my wearing those
goouiy� iai tlbs.ndhs know
xpung (hien 1;1kec1 'j raigTt things,
Only silo supposed the girls would
not Audio them for 'me. So she
imd given herself that pleasure. I
could nolhoao,to wound her poor
jell., hearty so... I p t its;on, no'lwatb-
stai;dilig Tate, Mellie'cud Stay pro-
testedegainat it,"
"You might have worn it iu the
house only."
"No, I will not deceive her.
Sllayld
she find :outifet v -Op E ae
case, she would be mortified and
hurt, Ah,. QLottie, dear, we can
afford a little sacrifice of thosa dear
ones, whose 'sands of life are so
nearly run.'"
"Charley, you are better than I,"
Lottie said.
And then her thoughts went
back to the devoted mother whose
every thought was for leer hap-
piness. And she could not banish
from her mind the pale face, with
its troubled look. The dear face,
ever so loving, that sho left without
a parting kiss. • -
"\Vhat's the matter, little girl'? I
begin to think, by your continued
silence, that you don't caro about
walking beside a young fellow with
so remarkable a tie." -
"No, no, Charley. You must
not think so. If it were.possiblo to
love -you bettor, I should, for this
fact of loving kindness," Lotty re-
plied, her voice trembling with
emotion.
"Is that so, fey darling 1 Then,
Aunt Kitty can make a dozen, of
all the colors of the rainbow, and
I'll wear them all at once, if it
pleases her."
"Oh, would he care to please tae,
or could ho love me if he knew
how dreadfully ungraceful I was
this afternoon?" Lottio thought.
They had walked to their desti-
nation --a friend's house—where
Lottio was to spend the evening.
"I will come for you about nine
o'clock. Lottie."
"All right. And, Charley, ou
your way home now,if you will just
stop in a moment, and sco how
mother is, and if you can do any-
thing for her, I should like it Bruch.
Sho may bo quite alone. And I
noticed her looking pale and wor-
ried when I left. I almost wish I
had remained with her."
"I will look after mother, dear.
And if he is not all right, will come
directly after you."
As Lottio entered her friend's
parlors, a girl—no longer very
young, probably twaity:three or
four—was just taking leave. Lot-
tie'a entrance and introduction de-
layed her going for several minutes
—quite long enough for Lottio to
observe her great beauty, and ex-
claitn as the door closed after her :
"Oh, how very beautiful ! Yet
so very sad. With such a depth of
pathos in her oyes that it reminded
me of Adelaide Proctor's "Cleans-
ing Fires," and those lines :
For as gold is tried by fire,
So a heart must be tried by pain.' "
"Your thoughts aro true with
regard to Claire IIartly, Lottie.
Five years ago she was truly the,
most beautiful girl I ever saw.
Such a brilliant beauty !
"But a terrible shock came to her.
When she was just eighteen sho
wont out'one evening, leaving her
anotlaor•in her usual health. - Three
hours after she wassunainoned home,
to find tho loving spirit": -gone.
Since then her life has been devot-
ed to the four little motherless chil-
dren loft to her caro. She has had
a trying time with the oldest boy.
But faithfully she has worked and
now she has good hope of her efforts
being crowned with success."
"Lottie's heart was very sad.
Everybody and thing seemed con-
spiring against her peace. Oh ! if
I were, only home !
"Lottio," said her friend Susan
Moreton, "we have just received a
telegram, announcing the arrival of
a cousin. Will you excuse me, or
go with me to the depot to meet
her?"
"Is anyone goingwilh you?"
"Yes.—Willie." a
"Thanks, then, Susie, but I prefer
staying here; because in this case
ono more would make a crowd,"
Lottio answered wsth a knowing
emile.
"Then, dear, I shall have to leave
you to entertain yourself. For,
not knowing of this arrival, i lot
\lora go to see her folks this
afternoon. So I 9ha11 have to pro -
side in the kitchen. Now make
yourself comfortable. Draw an
easy -chair near the fire. You look
really cold. And here aro the now
monthlies to amuse you," said
Susie's mother.
And so tho kind little Wolnan
passed out, and Susie went away.
Indeed, Lottie was just as woll
pleased to be alone. She could not
cast off the,gloom that had gathered
over her spirit, and feared her
friends might notice and question
her concerning it. Seated before
the fire, she hold tho books before
her, turning ono after another leaf,
without being conscious of any-
thing on the pages.
• Any other time she would have
found them full of interest.
Slowly the time wore ou. Oh !
if Charley would only come, and
bring her news of • home—of
mother
Ali ! she had not long to wait.
Charley was with -her, but his
bright handsome face was very
grave as ho elapsed her hand and
drew her nearer to him. Susie and
her another came, too, their eyes
filled with a tender solicitude she
could not understand.
"Is all right home?" flho asked
anxiously.
"All is right, Lottie, dear,"
Charley answered.
"Oh ! what is the matter, then ?
You look so strangely.
With a great effort Charley sup-
pressed his sorrow to say :
"Dear, is not Our Father's will
always right?"
"Mother !" the poor girl gasped—
"mother !—what of her ?"
Clasping closer to support the
trembling form, ho said :
"Dearest, mother is well—butter
thou for mauy years, Lottie. Free
from all sorrow, she is with your
father."
"Gone ! Dead ! Oh, Merciful
Father, take me, too ! Oh, mother 1
mother !" the agonized girl cried.
"Why, Lottie, darling, what is
the Matter? You have been dream-
ing."
"Dreaming? Oh! is it a dream?
Are yon Susie, perfectly sure ? Has
not Charley been here? Lottie
asked., searching the room with
still anxious eyes.
"Yes, dear; you have been sleep-
ing. I came in a while ago and
found you so," said Susie's another.
"Oh ! thank IIeaven 1 Still, I
shall not feel just right until Char-
ley comes. What time i. it?"
"Why, eight o,clock. We had
to wait for the the second train.
You slept at least an hour and a
half. Como, tea is ready. Ah ; and
here comes Charley, just in time to
bring you good news; so as you can
enjoy mamma's delicious waffles."
• Lottio, forgetting her usual ;to
serve before company, sprang for-
ward to meet Charlie, exclaiming
"Oh I ani so glad to see you !"
His face was not as she saw it in
her dream ; but smiling as he
answered :
"Why ono would think we had
not met for an age, little one. I
hope my coming may always bring
you pleasure, dear."
"About home. Did you see
mother 1"
"Oh, yes; she is all right."
Never before -had those two words
struck so forcibly on her car. With'
a perceptible shiver,"sho repeated
them :
"All right, Charley ?"
"Yes, indeed ; but I am afraid
you aro not You look pale, and I
declare you aro trembling. Go in
to the fire."
" \viat did mother say ?"
"That I must not let you stay
late ; and be sure to wrap you up
well in tho great shawl she gave me.
Now -isnot that all right?" Char-
ley asked, giving her a sly kiss as
he pushed her gently into the warns
room. • .
All right ! Thank God !" Lottie
-i;'orverrtly--said;'and- n • prayer of sin-
cere thanksgiving wont to the Mercy'
Seat.
"She 'shall bo all right when I
get back to her. Heaven bless my
mother! • . And,God's help forever
to coln.e," Lottie resolved:
The loving mother's heart was re-
joiced by the warm embrace with
which Lottie greeted her on her re-
turn. And when she said : "Mother
darling, will you forgive your
naughty girl, and let her wear those
earrings?". the happy mother won-
dered if there were many such good
daughters as this one, who so blessed
her mother's heart.
Mrs. Fairleigh never knew the
cause; but she felt every day Lottio
grew more thoughful, gentle and
loving.
• Ulster Tenant Right.
Tho Ulster Tenant Right was the
right of the tenant to any value in
his holding over and above the
rental value. It has now boon ex-
tended to tho whole of Ireland. The
landlord may not evict his tenant
except for non-payment of rent.
Even in that Baso he must pay for
improvements and compensation for
disturbance. ;.Cho tenant may pay,
the back rent at any tirno within six
months after eviction and reclaim
the holding, and in that case the
landlord must pay for probable pro-
fits which the tenant might have
made had he not been evicted. The
tenant may have the rent fixed by a
court, and in that case tho landlord
cannot again increase it. Tho right
which tho tenant thus acquires to
the land ho holds is frogtiontly of
considerable value, and he is at
liberty to soli or otherwise dispose
of his right. Sometimes the tenant
right is worth more than the rental
of the land. In Ulster the, tenant
right grew up by custom. In 1881
it was extended to the whole of Ire-
land,giving tenants "the three F's" :
free sale, free rent, and fixture of
tenure.

responsible to the publishers for payment.
2—If any person orders' his paper alis•
3oatinued, be must pay all arrearages, 01
the publisher may continue to send if

pa -1n the Division Court in Godurieh
at the November sitting a newspaper put -
lisher sued for pay of paper. The defend-
ant objected paying on the ground that he
had ordered a former proprietor of the
paper to discontinue it. The Judge held
that that was not a valid defence. The
plaintiff, the present proprietor, had no
notice to discontinue and consequently
could collect, although it was not denied
that defendant had notified (em-mer...pt•o-
prietor • to discontinue. In any event
defendant was bound to pay for the time
he had received the paper and until he
had paid all arrears due for subscription.
