She'd no time for heads and bangles, and for silks and worsted tangles, while by logarithmic angles also foretold the next rolipne. She could lecture by tho hour, and with much forensic power, upon Locke and Sehopenhauer and the tuodlroval monks. And she thought it was her mission and the height of her ambition, just to scat- ter erudition, and to leave it round in oliunks. She was like a knowledge bottle from which poured, as from a throttle, views of Bacon, Aristotle, Reid, Ricardo, and Rouen. But no crazed swain tried to get her, for alto couldn't fry a fritter, dross or cooko a log of mutton' broil a fish, or sew a button ; for she never was con- structed on that good old fashioned plan. ABSENCE—"A FONDER HEART."

How I loved the little letters' that from • time to time see sent me— lts I read it seemed that they a momentary seabreeze lent mo— • When she wrote of pin -nice, bathing, yacht- ing trips ; then made me ponder Well the truth of that old saw : "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Oft she spoke of her admirers—how sho made them dance attendance, Made then carry books and baskets and forswear their independence; Spoke of one she nicknamed Crcesus, who on her his wealth would squander; But she added : '.Dear old goosie, absence makes the heart grow fonder." So I worked away, quite happy,, through the boiling summer weather, Longing for the conning autumn, when we'd wally tho world together, Though her letters were lase frequent, still 1 very often conned her Last one, where the postacsipt told me : "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Power atilt were now her letters, and she wrote: "Pun very busy," I expostulated—mildly—with my way -way 'witching Lizzie; Once more came the same old answer— any other seemed beyond her— "Don't you know, you stupid Willie, ab• Donee makes the heart grow fonder?" Ono more letter yet she sent ore while alto at the seaside tarried, Laughing at our "mild flirtation,'telling me that she was married " And 'twee thus her note concluded--ria1 read my face grows yellow— "Absence makes tho heart grow fonder— fonder of the other fellow tc" Uenls of Thought.

We have lost very heavily, but our greatest loss is our beautiful church, which our people have lately built—we had only been in it four Sabbaths, and it wits rapidly filling up. My people hers lost all and Lire unable to rebuild. ' My only way of getting a place of worship again for some time is to make a personal top• peal to some of my old friends. Knowing your interest in the O0nee of Christ and your sympathy for the snfforor, I thought I would write you and asic if you would kindly assist us to rebuild. This is n hard place, morals aro in many respects low; there is much Sabbath breaking, and so great need for a plauo of worship. Our good people have shed many tears over the ruins of our Zion. 1 hope the Lord will pot it into t11e hearts of those who have means to help us liberally. WA had a vory beautiful organ in our church, which we purchased from Doherty & Co., Clinton —this, too, was buruod ; we Will )piss it, for Mrs, T. has had to lend the singing in the church, olid it is hard for her to do so without the inetrunent. I would be vary thank- ful if you could induce a few friends iu Clinton to send us au organ of the same kind, along with a good sub. scription. It may seem bold of me to plead in this way, but it is for the Lord's cause and for a place of wor- ship, where tho Gospel shall be preached for tho salvation of souls..
