There lived on the same nven00 It
widow lady by the name of

son and daughter. As Carro lyes

teams were much together. Everett

very handsome young fellow, ttnd

manner.
'We must make a match between
Everett and Oarro ; she could be
easily managed, I think, after she
was married. Of course she will be
rich as she ie the only child. Some-
thing must be done soon, for our
iealase is mortgaged nearly its whole

:alxc:e1. If we could only get her

could keep oar place in society.'
This is an example of the conver.
cf ate that passed between Mrs.
Shadows and her daughter.
'Carro,' said Mr. Birklow, one
esersaiog, 'Everett Shadows asked
tete' to day how I would like him for

ward night, and the next uiolnlug
found Carro tut orphan w11110 1 n
home.
Paul Nettleton left the day after
Carro oil; muck to the chagrin of
Alice Shadows.
The Shadows family soon heard
of efr. Biglow's ruin, and instead of
sympathy, they only congratulated
themselves that affairs had gone
no further. Carro wrote to Everett
in her trouble and received the fol-
lowing sumer :
'Mies Birklow :—I think the past
few weeks have proved that I am uo
longer the possessor of your affect•
tions, and that our engagement
would be better broken.'
This news slid not add to Carro's
grief, for she saw that she had never
truly loved ]rim.
Ono of her father's creditors, who
was to take the house, kindly effete
ed her a home in his family, until
she cbtaiued one elsewhere ; but
her pride would not allow her to
accept this offer. She tried to ob-
tain a situation as governess, but
Mere seemed no vacant place; when
her money was nearly gone she
succeeded in obtaining employment
in a store on vary small wages.
She called upon the Shadows,
several times for an explanation of
their conduit, but never found them
at home.
Ono cold stormy day in winter,
when she was returning from worst,
her faoe very sad, for she was think-
ing how two years ago she had a
father to care for her, as well as be -

wanted.
Orme she asked him if he would

'Why, my littlepet,' said Everett,
'linty could I help loving you ? Do
not ever ask me such an absurd
geteation again.'
Boarding at the same house with
112em was a young Southerner by
elm name of Nettleton. As ho was
tnarnarned, and reputed to be
wealthy, he was always included in
&eifr party. Mrs. Shadows was
very adroitly trying to arrange a
marriage between her daughter and
I? ui
,lelettleton.
As Carro'a acquaintance with Mr.
Nettleton ripened into friendship
she could but admire his noble and
generous nature. On the other
hand, he secretly loved Carro.; but
(wing ofher engagement, he was
too honorable to reveal his love.
'Otte night Oarro received a tele-
gram from her father, requesting

ing-house she saw the man stop,
take the number of the house, and
then pass on.
The following evening her board-
ing mistress came to her door and
said :
'There is a gentleman in the par-
lor who wishes to see Miss Birklow.'
As this was the first call she had
received for nearly two years she
was much surprised, and went down
to the parlor wondering who it could
be, it was no other than Paul
Nettleton. He told Carro how he
had been trying to find her ever
since her misfortune. He had call-
ed on the Shadows, but could get
no clue to her.
'Cerro, 1 loved you the first time
I caw you, and could hardly prevent
myself from revealing my love, and
beg of you to break your engage-
ment with Shadows, as I knew your
marriage with him would only re-
sult in misery.',
In a few weeks Carro married
Paul Nettleton, when they Bailed
for Europe. Five years after, the
robber of her father's bank died,
confessing his crime, and revealing
the place where the money could
be found.
Everett Shadows married a
lady he supposed to be rich, but,
like herself was deceived.

A good story of the Bev. W. F.
\Gilson, Grand Chaplain of the
Orange Grand Lodge, is told by a
delegate to the 1al t Grand Lodge
meeting in Godorfoh. The Grand
Chaplain is frequently taken to be.
long to another creed. As Goderiob
hotels were crowded Mr. Wilson
told the conductor of the train that
he thought ho would stop off a little
way from Godorich, stay all night,
and go in by the early morniog
train. The good conductor whisper-
ed to the supposed Roman Catholic
priest that the village was full of
Orangemen, and that 11 wouldn't be
safe to go in there alone. Mr. Wil•
son thanked hila for his warning,
and, saying be would risk it, got off.
Next night the came conductor at-
tended the Grand Lodge banquet,
and es he saw his supposed priest

ly dawned on him That he hacl made
a fool of himself.
The most unseemly and unneces-
sary call ever made upon a long•
suffering public for money has been
issued by Dr, Talmage. His big
tabernacle was destroyed by fire a
short timo ago, and ho issues an
appeal to all Christendom to assist
in replacing it with a larger and
finer structure. This call is issued
in spite of three facts, which clearly
show that the call is out of place :
1. Mr. Talmage's congregation is
rich, and one of the largest in the
country. 2. His church is attended
by thousands of strangers, who have
contributed thousands of dollars to
its running expenses, and will con•
tinue to do so. 3. Tho insurance on
the house is $120,000, which is al.
most enough to rebuild.. The fire
did not roach the people, and not a
single member of his church was
hurt, much less impoverished. It
would indeed be a nine thing to take
the $129,000 insurance and $100,-
000 contributed by the country at
large and build a larger and better
house. This would leave Mr. Tal-
mage and his church nothing to do
but stand by and see the money
well spent. If this scheme suoceeds
other people might be glad to see
their old churches catch fire and
burn down. But other churches are
not so popular. Hundreds of people
will oontrlbuto to this who would
scorn to help an enterprise nearer
home and far more needy.
