The shock might kilt her; but beyond that there wee a thence that so fiery- spirib as hers, with all her love, would lead her to put an end to her own life, if nothing atill worse followed. Searle had goes back to his district, being unable to spare any more time so he was not to he feared. To do Redbiary inatice, no was hardly likely to hold Sparle or any ono else in personal fear. At leen after much deliberation, more painful than he had 'expected to find the task of decision to prove, he resolved to wain a day or two longer, so as to see her through the crisis, and then he would leave her. He was angry with himself for show- ing such hesitation, which, indeed, surpris- ed as well as angered him. He did not dream that it, was one of the best; symptoms his carless selfish nature had ever shown; nor did he properly estimate the pain which the proepeot of parting with his wife and children gave him. The proposed time elapsed • his wife seemed duly passing through the necessary stages to •convalescence ; she certainly was growing stronger. Her eyes, it was true, were covered by a bandage; but this, Red - bury knew, or thought he knew, was a very common inoident in this terrible disease. Thne the days went on, until once again, for the third time, the eve of his departure had come. "And I wonder," he muttered as after a short gaunter in the fresh open air, he came in sight of his house, "what will happen to upset my plane tonight There has been. the worst of luck about them at present." He was conscious, while persuading him. self that he was anxious for a final BUCCeee, that his heart was not so much in the scheme as it had been, and that its completion would cause in him but a moderate ex. ultation. ^ He Went into his wife's room. It was now the early twilight of an August evening. Everything, even in that crowdedneighbour- hood, happened, as he remembered many and many a day afterveards'to be hushed. No vehicles were passing; the vendors of street goods had not come out for the night, while thews who jelled during the day had ceased their calling; even the children on the street were quiet. How well Rodbury afterwards recalled the unaccuatomed peace and hush of that moment I The room had hitherto been kept darken. ed, bub the blind was now drawn up, and it was light enough; yet Rose still wore a shade over her eyes. The window was open, and the oft balmy air of aummer's lust days made pleasant even the confined apartment.

Now, the terrible announce. ment made by hiewire ; the light of her seem ed ond pitted fare, which the poodgirl knew was ditegured, hut which sbe wouldenever add ; the picture which arose constantly in his mind of the children, Ms children, geode. hag and clinging to their NM, unsightly, end deserted mother, was toe much for him He was sincere in what he said; and despite the slaw:king circumstance!, which surround- ed thenee he named all hour or two beetle wife's side more happily than he had passed any interval for menthe. After a day or two, all fear of contagioe being gone, Rose was moved to a healthy northern suburb of Len - don, and her children were brought to see her. These were in rebuth health. The girl could- toddle about freely and talk with. a very pretty tongue ; while a finer little fellow than the boy never greeted a father'seyes. Rodbury groaned when he reflected that the poor mother would never again look epon their blooming features or eee their pretty curls; and then, with a atill keener pang, Le thought: "What could I have been dreaming ot, to plan the leaving such beauti ul libtle creatures as these? children that many a lord would give half his land a to oera.J This was a great change from his preview lines of reflection ; but leodbury was not conscious of an inconsistency; he only knew, that his heart now seemed bound to his wife 1 Old Bank Betas. and children, and felt that he could not be happy apart from them. In need merely be said here that the sub. sequent report of the doctor and the condi: tion of the patient herself only too strongly, confirmed the painful announcement Bese had made. She was blind, hopelessly and wholly blind.' Yet, as it eo often happens with us in our worst afflictions, there was even with this some alleviating power, for in the increased attention of her husband —the softened tone and tenderness which she so soon recogniseci—Rose had an under- current of happiness despite of her blind- ness; and the sad smile which was once familiar to her lips was ohanged for a bright- er if still a subdued one. As soon as it was safeeto do so Rodbury went to his friend Ashwell and consulted as to the best plan to be pursued under hie altered views. These views conaiderably as tonished Mr. Ashwell, who was greatly af feoted by poor Rose's story, and honestly reproached himself for having given council toher husband which involved so much pain to her. He had no doubt now as to the demon he should give, and this exactly chiming with his friend's own views, it was immediately adopted. A great deal might be said about the im- portant changes which took place; but as the result must be plainly foreseen, it; will nob be worth while to postpone the close of our story. Rodbury—he never changed his assumed name—decided upon going to the Far West, to Manitoba, indeed; and reveal- ing to some extent his altered position, he asked Mr. Spade to go with him, seeing many ways in which the sound practice' sense and business habits of his brotherein- law would be valuable; but Spark's reply was a decided negative. and—as his lad utterance in our chronicle—shall • ' "No, Mr Rodbury," he said.

Her sense of amell was also destroyed and that of taste much impaired. She was taken to Boston when she was 8 years old and placed in the 'Perkins Itiatitution for the 131ind. The late Samuel G. Howe who wee then Superintend eat of the add?, took a great interesb in the child and undertook the diffizelt task of instructing her. He began his work by giving her the word "knife," printed on raised letters on a stip of paper. Then she was given the knife so that she could feel the label on it and the sign' indicating likeness, which was made by piecing side by side•the fore fingers of eaoh hand, vas conveyed to her. By repeat- ing this proem with other articles she was lea to understand that the words represent- ed'the objects to which they were affixed, and she showed great pleasure at mastering her first lesson. Then the operation was re vaned,' arid the labels having been given her ahe would search for the article and designate it by thia means. She acquired the alphabet in leas than were leaned. by the Treasury, but experi- ence dictated a change to the broke under Government inspection and control: A writer in a provincial paper says that the early Chinese bills were in all essentials similar to the modern bank notes, bearing the name of the Jbank, date of issue, the number of the note, the signature of the official issuing it, indications of its value in figures, in nerds,. and in the pictorial representation in corns or heaps of coins equal in amount to its face value, and a notice of the pains and penalties of count- erfeiting. Over and sbove all was a ladn- ic exhortation of industry and thrif "Produce all you can; spend with econ- omy." The notes were printed in elute ink on paper made from the fibre of the mul berry tree. One issued in 1339 B. C. is still carefully preserved in the Asiatic Mus- eum at St. Petersburg.

It is proposed in Montreal that doh alder. men wear a badge, in order that he may be distinguished from the ordinny ratepayer, and -that he may receive from policemen, fireman, and the kublic generally the defer- ence due to munecipel rank. The idea is novel and not at ell bad. In olden times an alderman was distinguished from oommon mortals by his ;weave proportions. But lately the electors have been voting in muni- cipal conteete regirdleas altogether of the size and weight of the candidates. The re- sult now -a days is that; one may pass we alderman on the street without knowing it. If a, tag be attached to each City Father this sort of thing will not occur again. Ti is Rot proposed that there be a number on the ,badge. The intention is to have a plain label informing the public that the wearer is an alderman. A New York hotelkeeper is dispensing charity on a princely scale. ' Some years ago he gave a complimentary dinner to his pa• trona at a dist of $2,000. It then occurred to him that the people who ate these dinners were the fat and prospercrue; and he began to give Christmas dinners to the poor. A further development of charity came with the thought that poor people want dinuera at other times than holidays, and tie had this announcement posted on his hotel :—" Any person, man, woman or child, who is hungry and lacks money, will be cheerfully nerved with good wholesome food, free of charge, in the red of this hotel." It is curious to note that, although the food is given without any questioning or boy dition, only fifty peo- ple a, day have been fed since Chrietreas, and, as the weather grows warmer, the num- ber decreases. Father Damien's work in the Remade:al leper settlement, though a very diatinguitih- ed instance of missionary heroism, is not a solitary one. The Miasionary Year Book for 1889, published by the Religious Tract Society, shows that the 135,000 lepers of India have had their ministrants, chiefly from Scotland end Ireland, for the last fifteen rare. The work of the missionaries extends to places which even ambition and greed fail to find.
