I wish you could see them for your. self, or, better still, that you might get e sweet breath of their fragrance. This Wolild be the more needful if you should happen be be city bred. In that ease you do not even kuow what violets are. I know you have bought them in January of the florist at a dollar a hundred, and they have sighed out their sweet life on your person or at your side. But this does not alter the case. if that- is all you have known of them you have never yet known violeta. An essential part of their modest life is an appeal to sentiment and sensibility, spoken only where they eetle low among their green leaves, and almest clingiog to the ground.

Early in June the last of the violets she brought me had breathed out their breath to the bite heaven above them and early in Jane her sweet life went out theirs. And now, if interest enough has been • awakened itt her quiet history to suggest the question of how, she came to die so young, I can only answer that it was not young for a nature like hers. She was of very close kin with the violets, and they are flowers of spring -tune. They do not bear the summer heat, yet they are perfectan their way. In their brief stay we have no sense of incom- pleteness. And this is quite true of my little friend. She matured very fast. There is no other reason for her early exit. She had no bodily ailment, but the soul was very large—too large to live in space so cir- cumscribed. So she went away. • The sea- son of her life was fully rounded. We lost the sight of her as naturally as that of all spring flowers; she was at rest with them 'ill another season. She had been onopf my children in the faith; mine had been thehonor to welcome he; in thfaMaster's name, to a place in His household and at His table. 'This was a little more than a year before the end came. This year was passsd in a kind of happy ecstacy. Her face giew almost transparent, I nnd oame to be like some vision of the holy ones. The zeal of her Father's: house seem- ed literally to be consuming her, and yet these were the only things in which her eager soul found rest. We chided with her as friendsatelling her that the strain of *:hc se things on her weak body was too mucb. Bet we might as well have chided with he.r wept spirit when it broke all bars at last and leaped up to the higher service above. Again and again would she run to me, in- quiring "Mr. 'latching, do you know of any poor or sick person to whom I can take something, or is there anything you think of that I can do ?" In my pastoral rounds I learned in many a place how she had been before me ministering to chest& wed needy. To be allowed to do a kindness seemed to fill her with as much gratitude an if she her- self had been the recapient. In the worship of God's house her face was like a eeraph's, and her conversation was never so animated as when His worship and His service were the themes. It was in such living that the ardent soul burned ant the body till the grosser material seemer etherealized. So she stood by my side on that April morn - in, watched me while I set her violets in my border, and made this errand earnest the last that her willing feet ever ran on earth. You will see, then, what the breath of the violets brings to me,. I can almost feel with each spring's return that her sweet spirit comes down to nurture the flowers she planted. The breath ot their fragence on the spring air is like the srft touch of her presence, and she lives again to lie in what she has done, and in what she is still doing, through her violets. They seem to say to me: "Why should not you be planting some little gift of love upon this earth, so barren to many hearts ?" And their sweet fragrance goes out to all the world saying: "T/1i8 IS the mcease of aervice—the service of:one of earth's frailest little ones." And Why should you not eadh bestow her some kindly deed which may blossom and make life sweeter for those behind when you, are gone? It wants Only the heart to gee in other's lives the garden spot that ig bare. It needo " A heart at feistire from itself • TO soothe and sympathize." There lay the secret of my little friend's ripely blessed life. She was a little laborer under the gentle Husbandman, who finds His field in the hearts of mon. She proved, though all uncontithougly, that "he *which ia greatest among you ahall be as him that servee." The violets are bearing their testi- mony. Their perfume is going out into wider and wider circles, teaching how tas. ed is "The memory of a goOd deed in a naughty world," An old Yeekehithman being informed by a batting man that his friend, the " eaptaie, would obligingly hold the stakee, the canny Northerner replied, "Ay, ay, theta:all very well, btit Who'EI houdet.' captain ?" The German Crown Prince. So much has been said that is unfavorable about the German Crown, Prince, the Em- peror that is: to be, that itis only fair to give the other side. Perhaps after all he ia not ao bad. ea he is painted and the so callea family quarrels, withhia unfiliel conduct, may not lee so had as many would have it be. !loved. It ie never to be forgotten that grossly wenton and unfounded stories: were circulated about the preeent Emperor and bis wife during their early married life, how that be used to come honie drunk and was in the habit of striking her and so forth. Now all that has long since been dismissed as pure nialicione falsehood, and shay it not be that a good deal said about "Prince William" 18 08 slanderously untrue as what was said about "Our Fritz ?" It is just as well, at any rate, to think BO till the opposite has been demonstrated. This is the way "A Former Tutor" writes about him in Murray's Magazine :— It was between thirteen and fourteen years ago that I last saw Prince William—ea 1 roust still oall him—but if it be true that the child is father to the man, I cannot but think that the estimate of him whioh com- monly prOTailu in England is miEstaken. That Prince William when I knew him was a frank, wellenannered, genial boy, 1 am quite sure. That he has developed now -a. days into an imperioua martinet, 1 for one find it impoasible to believe. Indeed, I heard only the other day from a German lady, whose friends had received them in their house on the occasion of some recent military manoeuvres, that host and hostess had been charmed by his courtesy and kind- ly consideration. Much has been, said and written about Prince William's crippled arm that is far from accurate. I had been in the habit of sitting clooe beside him every day for week: before 1 ever wigged I that hi: arm Was fit an way different from that of other people. Even then, I only obserifed ib becattse my Eaten - Hon was called to it by others. Thew I perceived that the left arm was always in almost exactly the same attitude, and that the Prince could only move it very slightly, bending it a little up Or a little down from it normal position across the body, as though it were fixed in an invisible ling;s and. that if he wished to use it to steady the sheet of paper on which he was writing, he was obliged to raise it on to the table with the othtr hand. No doubt this lack of power ie a great loss and inconvenience, especially to so ardent a soldier as Prince William, for it compebi him, I understand to rade only horses that have been specially trained for his use, but it is fortunately no disfigurement whatever. A more profiles- ing pupil than Prince William, or more - gentlemanly, hank, and natural boys than both Prince William and his younger brother, I can honestly say it has never been my lot to meet with. The general talk in most circles is , about money and how to secure as much of itaa possible. Those who are readiest to speak with contempt of "filthy him' have gener- ally a pretty keen eye for the main chance and a pretty distinct relish for any windfall that may come in their direction. Lovers of humanity at large generally love humanity best when embodied in their individual per- sona, and believers in Henry George ant l his theories are the last to surrender the "un- earned increment" when they make a strike in ren estate or on corners lots. There is -no use or sense ill affecting to despiseImoney. Nobody really does. Still there is a differ- ance. It is intolerable when a man claims attention and honor as he often does simply because lie has money. If he has money plus worth, he is all the better because he is not a beggar. But money without worth I Oh heavens! and what oracles some of these are? TRUTH does not wish to be guilty of idolatry at all but m any case to worship O mere "golden calf" is the last degree of both stupidity and baseness. Yet in how many cases does a man's intelligence seem to grow as his balance at the banker's increases. There are people by the dozens who are fuss- ed about as o aoles who would not be touch- ed with, a ten foot pole were it not for their money. Put out at their drawing -room win- dows the red flag of a sheriffs sale and their dearest friends would not know them. And yet even they must have had some faculty. Here is how one not altogether foolish defines the classes that generally aehieve riches and those who as a rule remain poor :-- The persons who become rich are, gener- ally speaking, industrious, resolute, proud, covetous, prompt, methodical, sensible, un- imaginative, unsensitive and ignorant. The persons who remain poor are the entirely foolish, the entirely wise, the idle, the reck- less, the humble, the thoughtful, the dull; the imaginative, the sensitive, the well-in- formed, the improvident, the irregularly and impulsively wicked, the clumsy knave, the open thief, and the entirely merciful, just and godly person. Take a Best Occasionally. What is to be done to lessen the nervous exhaustion which is prevalent among all classes? Hurry and worry are everywhere, wales the result an ever-growing army of weary, restless, nervous unhappy, beings who are a torment th themselves and all who are near them. What is to be done? The propoti- ed remedies are all but mama. There is not a quack but hail a. specific of his own and is sure that were his advice followed out, and his bottles of medicine drunk, the world would be all well, and nervousness would be unknown.

If the Bible (observes Mary E, Spencer, an American lady) had mad man was made out of a woman's rib, I would believe it; for of all things in this world a man is most helpless alone. A chicken two hours out of the:shell can take better care of itself than a man can. So it is all right that a man by 2,0 or 25 should be looking around for a w�,. man to take care of him; and a womui is never permitted to look around for a man. The women do not need to go courting. I am sure there is some mistake in the trans- lation. 11 should read that man was made of a rib of a woman. 1 cannot,stick a pin down in literature but I come upon the praise of weinae; and it is not for me to say it is not all deserved. Let me give youa taste of my col- leobion of • nice things. 1Vlartin Luther said, "Earth has nothing more tender than a woman's heart when it is the abode of pity." Idiohelet said, " Woman is the Sun- day of man, not hie repose only, but his joy —the salt of his life." That is a little mixed as a figure, I allow, but Mr. Miohelet meant well, and when one is in love he cannot help getting a little flurried. At least it is SO With Women, John Mama said, " All that I am my mother made me." Lord Lans- downe said, "11 thd whole world vs ere put into one scale and my mother into the other, the world would kick the beam." I like that because of all things I am sure the very best is a noble mother. The Arabs say," One may get a hundred wives, but he can never get but one mother; therefore O mother is equal to a hundred wives." But Leopard Sohefer has ib better yet when he says, But one thing on earth Is better than the wile: that is the mother." ' However, the wife gets enough praise, and need not be jealous. N. P. Willis said as sweetly as he said all things, "The eWeeteet thing 1u lie le the unclouded web aome of a who.- Riehter, that is, the divine Jean Paul, said, "No man Call either live piously or die righteous without a wifa." Emerson said, "A beautihil WOrnan is a practical poet, taming her savage mate, planting tendernees, hope, and eloquence in all she approaohes." I have, however, never heard thatArs. Emerson had much taming to do—only she must see that her mate had hie hat on when he went abroad. Among the very pretty thiogs said of wo- men, Whittier has given us this: " If woman lost ns Eden, such as she alone restore:3 it." Voltaire said. "it is woman who teaohes ns repose. civility, and dignity." Reskin says a great many fine things of woinan. Shakespeare has no heroes ; he has only. heroines." This is always true in a ruder, earlier stage of society. Woman always be- gins civilisation. The honor of woman has always been the corner -stone in building socially. A race lacking respect for women has never advancedpolitically and socially, but has speedilly decayed. Leasing said, "Nature meant to make woman its master- piece. " Confucius 2200 years ago said. "Woman is the world's masterpiece." But adalherbe spoke the mind of all Frenchmen when he said, "There are only two beau- tiful things in the world—women and roses : and only two sweet things—women and me - Ions." This was gallant but natural ; and it gave woman her true place as a blossom and fruit of nature. Concerning woman and men as equals, 1 Raskin says—" We are foolish and without i excuse in claiming the superiority of our sex to the other. In truth, each has what the other has not. One completes the other,and they are in nothing alike. The happiness of both depends on each asking and receiving , from the other what the other only cen give." Thackeray drew his contrast—" Almost all women will give a sympathising hearing to men who are in ,love. Be they ever so old, they grow young again in that conver- sation and renew their own early time. Men ' are not quite sogenerous." Voltaire said— "All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of woman." Gladatone says 1 " Woman is themost perfect when the most womanly." Dr Clarke says—"Man is not superior to woman nor woman to man. • The relation of the sexes is one of equal- ity ; not of better and worse, or of high- ' er and lower, The loftiest ideal of hum - mita demands that each shall be per- fect in its kind, and not be hindered in its best work. The lily is not inferior to the rose, nor the oak superior to the clover; yet the glory of the lily is one, and tbe glory of the oak is another; and the use of the oak is not the use of the clover." " Woman," says another writer, "must be regarded as woman, not as a nondescript animal, with greater or less capacity for assimilation to man."
