(CONTINUED) Helen walked briskly down the street, 'thinking intently of hese mothers advice and filly resolved to act upon it ; but wonder- ing lust how it could be brought about to appe ar natural. Reaching the house she was confronted by a glaring card announcing •aitokuess within. "I wonder who ib is," she: thought as she knocked. There was a low murmur of voices, but no footsteps so Helen opened the door and entered. There was no one in sight, bat a voice from the adjoining room said : Who is it? Coma 3n' etting.pails ails on the table and follow. S... lug the voice,she found herself in what look-. sd to be a hospitalward—two beds and a low sob, whereon lay the sink ones, Henry, „Alice, Julia, Nettle and Charlie. " Qh, oh 1 are .you every one sick t" ex- olaimed Helen in diiemay ; " please don't try to get up," as Nettie made an efforb to rise. • My head dogs feel rather badly when I move," she replied, sinking wearily bank aipon the pillow. Helen put her cool, soft hand on the throbbing brow with no thought of oon- :atrainb. The way had indeed been made Allain, and her voice wait full of earnest sym- athy as she said, "I'm sure it must ache dreadfully, it is so hot. Have you been sink long?" "The children were taken nearly a week ago." "Who takes care of you; sorely yon are not alone V' was the anxious inquiry. "We get along very well. I can do all that is necessary," returned Nettie rather stiffly. "I won't mind that the least bit," thought Helen, "for I know there is plenty tor me to do here;" so she said cheerily : "I should be very glad to help if you will let me. Isn't lb time for medicine ? The °look has just struck." "We can all help ourselvesto that," Mill repelling the kind advances. "Yee, but let me give it to you this time, -for I know ib makes your head worse to move. Now I'll fix the fire, for it seems a little cold here," 'continued Helen in quite a ,'matter-of-fact way. The kitchen was even more desolate than the sick room, A few sticks of wood lay on -the door, and when they were in the poor rickety stove there was still room for more. Where to get it Helen did nob know. Could -there possibly be a wood pile, she wondered, and did that •door opposite lead to it? She "dared, not ask nor investigate for herself, fearing to give offense. For a moment, in perplexity of mind as to what the next step was to be, she stood looking about ; then, brightening, nodded her head energetically as she thought a way out,of her difficulty. ac Its exactly what I will do," was her re -solve. Going to Nettie she said hurriedly " I have to go home for a few minutes, bat shall come back ; for, of course, you must not be left alone with these sick children ;" and she was gone before a reply could be made. \Walking rapidly, she soon reached a :pretty white cottage, which she entered un- announced, exclaiming, as the lady whom she sought came to meet her, " 0, auntie, I am turning over a new leaf, and I want yon -to help me." "Dear child," said Mrs. Cummings, Iaugh- =nag, "is it such a great size ?" " I should think ib was ; its the whole 'Tones family 1 You never saw such a plane, I know. There doesn't seem to be :a thing and dirt Every- one but sick folks inthe house hy " .Dae of the children has diphtheria. " O, dear, what will . become of them ? Who is with them ?" askedpre. Cummings in an anxious tone, "Nobody. They are taking care of them. selves. „ "Well, I'll go right away; jest let me get a few thinge to carry them. " "While you are getting ready I will run rome and tall mother ; won't take me but a 'minute. " What do you mean, child ?

Yea see, Auntie, I sin determined to try to ba lees'selfieh audio whatever good I am able;" "Its a noble resolve to make, dear, but I was thinking of that dreadful disease ;; if it would be quite safe. " "Why, auntie, 1 have often heard you' say people should not regard their own safety to, the neglect of others. I have done nothing but regard myself up to date; it isn't saris factory, and now I am going to regard the ,-Pones family as long as they need me ; then shall look further. Don'b go without me. will be back in ten minutes. " Doctor Clark was continually worried -that day, as he went hie " rounds," about the condition of affairs at the Jones' house; And so it gave him great relief, when he unade his afternoon visit, to find that two angels of mercy had taken charge during Tris absents and had wrought a wonderful change. The children looked brighter and better; Nettie had owned her inability to caro for the sick and taken her place among -them. It only needed a glance to convince ,one that the house, too, had undergone the :same rejuvenating process. Everything was improved, even the dilapidated furni- ture looked a little less forlorn. The doctor ;greeted the attendants with a cordial smile as he entered the eok room and, sitting down by Nettie, said in his hearty way: 'r Well, well 1 this is much better. You are taking the sureat way of getting well and ;that is by acknowledging you are sick." "It was somewhat difficult to convince her of the fact," said Mrs. Cummings pleas• .antly. " I like to be independent and not burden other lolke," aaid Nettie, " Yes we all do," replied the doctor, s' but somehow we can't geb rid of that law o ago, to the effect that we "•,laid down so long g , are to bear ono another's burdens. Wo all leveto depend upon our friends occasionally, IBe willing, my girl, to give your cares hp for a time into these competent hands, believing, as your mother deep, that the Lord sent them," As the dootor passed ;through the kitchen on his way oub, he taw Jo brooding disconso. lately over the stove" evidently Bober, but ,overcome by melancholy. His manner was sothowhat embaraseed, remembering, no elouhb, the good advice the doctor had given bite in times past, which he not only had :failed to profit by, but had repelled with some force and more profanity. Gathering ?himself up he approached the doctor with hesitation and asked : "Pretty sick, ain't =they?" nodding towards the bode, "Yee, Jo, they are, and dhariie doesn't cent to gain." "You dont think—you don, b moan— baaped Jo in blare-,- then stopped, hitt' leared eyes aeardhing the debtor's face for ifnformation, ' "There is alR&ys more or lees danger I f u' this disease, and he is rather hall, to combat it successfully,"was the reply. "Save him, elector. Yon will not let him die," groaned .To, teaching out his trembling hands for supflorb. "I shall do my very best, Jo, and the children are sure of good nursing, which is as much as medicine ; but you must stay by and give these ladies all the help you oan• We will trust the Lord for the rest. Char- lie is in hie hands." Jo staggered to his chair, tears rolling down hits face, which, alas, showed marks of dissipation so plainly. The doctor's Words, "We must trust Charlie to the Lord," filled all hie thoughts, making the case seem hopeless, forgo, like many another peer soul, could see no hope beyond and medicine glass. If that had failed the Charlie's recovery depended upon some un• seen power, then the chance was email, in- deed. For a long time he sat there, his faoe buried in his hands. He could hear the low murmur of voices in the next room: Lifting his head, he saw Mrs. Cummings as she went from one to the other ministering to their wants, or speaking a cheerful word, Sitting by little Charlie was ,Helen, so dainty and stylish, so different from her present sur- roundings, that Jo felt ashamed of them for the first time. Tney never had looked so shabby to him as now. Re saw her bend over the little boy, running her white fingers through his sunny curls in each a caressing well while she talked to him. Charlie's eyes wandered from her faoe to a knot of bine. ribbon she wore, ; then Jo Saw him touch it as he said : "It's pretty; ft's like some flowers mamma had, bub—" the voice stopped and a look of confusion Dame into"t'zesweet, sensitive face. The listener well knew why, for into his mind ruched the memory of those flowers, brought by a lady who belonged to a hated temperance society, and how he had Dome home, maddened by drink, and had dashed them through the window, cup and all, only sorry that he oouldn'b send the whole aeobety after them. No wonder he listened with shame, but there was nothing too fear; the loyal child was silent and ` Helen' too delicate to gaestion, but she said, smiling down into his face ; "Ib is lik'eyour eyes, dear. Do you know why I wear' it ?" "No. What is it for t" " It is the badge of a temperance sooiety I belong to, AU of us wear this ribbon. It tells people we never can drink. a drop of the dreadful stuff winked men sell, and it always reminds us of our promise." "Then don't you ever want to 1" asked Charlie, his voice weak yet eager, and Jo saw an expreseion of mingled • hope and fear on hie face as he waited for the answer, "0 no," replied Helen, eariestly, "and if we did this would prevent us." A long drawn sigh of relief gave evidence of the importance Charlie bad attached to the reply. His hands still strayed over the blue loops and a wistful look name into his eyes; seeing which Helen said, as she unfast- enedthe knot " I'll give it to you, dear, and I will call you my little recruit, for I am ante you will be good when you are grown up." " Oh," said Charlie, with a little gasp, as he took the ribbon, "don't you feel sorry without it?' " Not a bib, for I'll get another," was the reassuring reply. He looked at it thoughtfully a moment, then aimed with hesitation t " Could -could I give it away if—if—anybody would ba— good ?" "Yes, certainly you may ; then yon would have a recruit, too," said Helen, cheeiily. "Now we must stop talking. I will give 3 on some medicine, then you must try to go to sleep while I am away, for :I must go home for a little while," - -(To BE CONTINUED.) 11, Via.- -- T e Eskimo. While the Eskimos have a far wider range east and went than any other race, there is much evidence that the north' and south limits of their territory have greatly narrow. ed. If the suggestion of Capt. Adams, that the Smith Sound natives, about 200 in number,be removed bo south Greenland to prevent them from entirely succumbing to the hardships of their isolated'' home, were carried; out, the north and south range of these natives wouid4be still further diminish ed. We know that the Eskimo once hunted in the northern part erG'¢rant Land, oyer; 200 miles north of the present homes of the Smith Sound highlanders. Oa the other side 'of Baffin's Bay theEskimo:nab 'long' ago often went to Cape Sabine, where Greely s party passed their last winter, but they have not been heard of so far north for some years On Banks Land McClure found very old retnainaof Eskimo huts, but the natives south' of Banks Land had not even any traditions: of people tieing so far north, and the natives of. Wollaston Land, who would be most likely to go there to hunt, have said they never go north of Prince Albert Sound, which is far southeast of Banks Land. These facts point not more to the southerly retreat of the Eskimo than to the gradual extinc- tion of the rage. Even in southwest Green- land, where under Danish rule, the hard lot of the natives has been considerably ameli- orated, they are barely keeping up their numbers. Vengeance on an Unfaithful Lover, An original method of wreaking vengeance on an unfaithful lover has been adopted by a deoeived damsel', says a Paris dispatch bo to London Telegraph. The'man was a tailor and the woman a cook, who, when she heard that the gay deceiver had given her up for a spruce dressmaker, armed herself with a pair of big scissors and a bottle of vitriol, and,pro• deeded to the lodging of the false-hearted swain. What she would have done had she mot the tailor in the flesh can only be con- jectured in a vague and speculative manner, but it happened that he' was out, so she set to work on his Sunday clothes,. These she pull- ed out of the wardrobe wherein they lay, strewed then on a table and out them into ribands with her earners. She next sprinkl ed vitriol over the lot and treated the tailor's socks, shirts, and pooket•handerohiefe to vicious douches of the same corrosive sub- stance. Then she wont away satisfied, but was arrested this morning, according to a legal phrase rather appropriate to the dr.. cumstanoes, "at the snit" of the tailor. A Hard Year.

Is the Traffic on the Increase? Ib ie enough. Oar hearbs are sick with slaughter. Let the witnesses stand down. Is the smoke of this torment to go up for ever and ever ? Remember that these deeds of blood and darkness are no isolated facts, no temporary misforbunes, no mere passing accidents of the savage state.

Do not let it bo supposed thab this horror is over, that this day of tribulation is atan end. This horror . and this day are now. It is not even abating. "Slavery- on the increase " Time, civiliza- tion, Christianity, are not really touching it., No fact in relation to the slave -trade is more appalling than this. The fact of this increase, for a time denied, then doubted, has at last been reluctantly admitted, even by the Government of England. In a Gov- ernment Blue -book issued only the other day, Her Majesty's consul for the Somali Coast reports that rt the slave -trade has been very active of late. Oa the 16th of September (1888), Captain Gissing captur- ed three dhows and brought two hundred and four slaves to Aden." The consul ab Zu zibar ,writes (September,1888j' to the Marquis of Salisbury . Thera is A MARRED INCREASE in slave -traffic oarried on under the proteo- tion.of the French flag." The consul further states that :.dhows carrying French colors were constantly and ;regularl), leaving for the CUmero Iialande, Mayotte, and Madagas- ear;• loaded With slaves. ' In, June, 1888, Brigadier General.Hogg, dating from the Aden' Residency, : wrote to the Bombay Government` i " I have the honor to bring to the •notice of Government that ]: have from time to time received reports of ` the activity of the slave trade from the neigh• borhood of the Gulf of Taj ourra, and I deem it my duby to inform Government of this fact with a view to such action being taken as may be deemed advisable."—(Soribner's TELEO APHID BRIEFS.

Mr.'F. Broughton, late manager of the Great Western railway, died suddenly at his residence in Eastwood the other morning.

We all know people who are eminently trustworthy. We all know those who are just as much the reverse. In the world of each of us exists the man or woman in whom we believe as in the sun that shines in the sky above—who is ad faithful as the needle to the pole, as solid as the granite rook. If suoh a one promises a thing, we regard ft as already done. Death, , absence new interests —nothing of all that sways a more fluid mind so much as changes the mere surface of this one's thought.
