Some of the younger nes began to cry. Davie was like deat 1. lie held Ina breath aud scarcely tared to look ; and yet he could not help coking. Fits eyes were sharp and his 4a.rs were keen; but there was absolutely nothing to bo seen but the writhinglof the waters; nothing to be heard but their dnlIroar. Poor Davie! Was that a cry at last? y_ yes! Oii, thank God! It's Rob's voice, and he is actually calliug D Lvie. Davie descends at once, but totters so that he nearly lo es his footing. "Here Davie ! Here, Ronald Suth- erland! ,Come a.r near the edge as you can, a.nd keep cool. Take a good gripe of Archie1,—that's it ! Now pass him to the others and reach me a firm hand." But theugh Rob's courage held, his strengthovhich had been a good deal tried before the leap, was ebbing; and it is no easy thing to raise yourself up the face of a slippery, perpendicular rock with the strong tide of a great ocean !tugging you back. But for the presence of mind of Ronald Sutherland, who jumped up to his neck in water in a deep hollow some distance back, and bracing himself in it, made the boys form a double chain from him to the edge, Rob would have died a hero's death then and there. As it was, a few minutes saw them all safe on the brae again— Archie Campbell well rubbed under Rob's direction, and both revived by the whisky got by Davie from the nearest cottage. Then, and only then, was it noticed that Dsft Geordie was missing, and with him the upper half of Rob's clothes. Fortunately, Davie's last order had not been executed, and for the rest Rob might have had twelve entire suits would they but have fitted. But there was nothing large enough among the dozen, and so Rob was fain to wrap:him- self in a plaid borrowed from the cot- tage where they got the whisky. But Davie felt, before they started on the homeward run, there was something more to be done. "Rob," said he before them all, "I'm not ashamed to beg.your pardon. I believe every word you said; and as for being a cowarcl,there's ndbody I know would do what you have done. Man," said he, relapsing in his earnest - nese into Scotch, "I.couldna hae thine 't myser." Could Davie's praise go further? "Hooray!" shrieked little Archie Camp- bell. " Hooray !" yelled an adnairing chorus. Rob had won the day.' The entire party formed a gua d of honor to the Manse door, and though k it a great thing to shake hands with aim before they. left. What Archie's father an mother said the reader may imagine. tefore night- fall Rob was the hero of Str thlowrie. CHAPTER III. that the handkerchiefs were stolen a ascended the pulpit stairs by som the old wives who lined it. So to and detect the culprit, she sewed u co ot the handkerchief to one of the pee of his coat tails.

We have opened on the first week of the holidays, which the children had for their own, with the very reasonable re- strictions that they should obaerve the hours of meals and prayers, and every night give an account of the day's pro- ceedings. After these days of grace the boys had some leesons with their father, an. then for at least two hours per diem Uolin's long back and Davie's proud one had to bend over beds of old-fashioned flowers or Imag rows of potatoes, while the little girls had their needlework or praetising, and such mild domestic duties as Jean would permit. If work was, as Mr. Leslie's theology taught him, the primeval curse, it was also, he fully believed, the perennial and univer- sal blessing, a panacea for all the ills of life, and not least for that vague discon- tent which will sometimes creep even into S :ottish Manses. "Ask your mother to give you a handkerchief to hem," would be his command to Tory and Nan, if either 6f these young persons looked depressed in his presence. If the desired article in its unfinished state eoult1 not be produced, to pull his own from his pocket, tear the hem off, and toss it to the wo-begone one, was searce- ly the work of an instant. The remedy was truly magical in its effect, and like most beneficent things had even a wider influence than the author intend- ed. If there was anything that put Davie in a state of jubilation it was to see the angel bairn setdown to what she disdainfully ealled a "snuffy one," and forced to smile .and handle it as if she liked, not loathed, it. On the other hand, when Master Davie's dark hour was upon him., and the uprooting of dan- delions was the prescription, Tory was sure to be taking the air near the scene ot penance. We left the minister and his wife in the study, but their morning was not to be an uninterrupted one. A gorgeous yellow chariot deposited a pair of an- cient ladies at the Manse door, and Jean announced "Miss Maaalaster and Miss a:rizaell, mem." Jean said this inconse- quently, as if the yellow chariot were in the habit of driving up twice or thrice a day; but her mien, which was that of a turkey -cock with its tail spread and its crest up, bewrayed her. The Macalasters of Strathlowrie were geatry of the old stamp, such as you may read of any day in the delightful pages of Dean Ramsay. Miss Macalaster, be- sides the glory of wealth and family,had that of being one of the oldest inhabi- texts. She would be eighty-one her next birthday, she aaid ; and I assure ots she would no more have exagger- ated her age than you or I would ours. She took long walks and drives while at the Castle; spent the season in Edin- burgh (she had no faith in London) in a round of such festivities as the "gray metropolis of the North" can furnish ; discoursed of " pictures, taste, Shake- speare, and the musical glasses," and in all respects seemed to consider herself in her prime. Miss Maealaster had been a beauty in her youth, and had preserved from that far-off time a delicate profile an sundry little airs and graces. Her heaa-pieces, for height and variety, were just wonderful ; yet with their delicate lacc and black velvet. and lavender satin and feathers, not unbeeontine, to the kiailly face, with its seft peach -like bloom.

Blessed babe, thy days of anguish, Cries and suffering all are o'er; Thou hest gone to dwell with angels Where thy pain is felt no more. Blessed spirit, early ransomed From the ills of humse life. Christ hath fought the battle for thee, Thou art free from toil and strife. Friends amid kindred loved thee deeply While on earth Thy spirit atrayed ; Scarcely thought they for a moment One so pure, so soon must fade. But we see the hand of mercy Stretehed to shelter thee -from harm. Leading thee to Heaven's portals There to restin Jesus' arm. No, dear parentkimourn no longer That she's take* from your sight; Look by faith to Yonder mansion, See that cherub olothed in white.

Jesus said, oh blessed sentence, • " ;Attie ohildren come to me, Here those arms shall safely keep thee. From all sin and sorrow free." May we all, like little children, Claim these promises our own, That when Christ makes cip his jewels We'll be worthy of a orown. ilos `lity ife- Pa- e. rm- The Tiger that was Lost in lhe Sky. There was once a Brahmin who so pious that he gained the spiri power to create and change things at will. One day a little mouse was sued by a hawk, and ran up his ale for protection. ." Little mouse, little mouse," said Brahmin, "thou haat faith. Li mouse, little mouse, thou shalt b cat." 'So the little mouse became a cat. day the cat was attacked by a dog, ran to him again for protection. "Little cat, Haft) oat," said he, "t hast faith; thou shalt grow; thou s become a dog." So the little cat -became a dog. day the dog was chased by a tiger, ran to the Brahmin for proteotion. "Little dog, little dog," said Brahmin, "thou haat faith; thou 81 be a tiger." • The Brahmin and the tiger lived pily together until one day some bro Brahmins came to visit him.

The sudden filling of the blood vessels by too sharp activity after waking will in time produce relax- ation, or possibly rupture, in the walls of the cerebral vessels. A person should waken himself slowly, and should rest a short time after waking, indulging in some light, genial, mental operation, just enough to stimulate to normal activity the brain forces before he rises from the recumbent position.—Herald of Health. - - Other People's Affairs. "What makes every one love to be with you ?" the sweet, simple, unaffected and very lovely Princess Alice once asked her grandmother, the Duchess of Kent. "1 tan always so sorry to have toleave you, and so are all the others who come here. Won't you please te.1 me, grandma ?" The old lady smiled, and for a mo- ment that was all she did. The Duchess of Kent knew the secret of her influence over her friends, but how to explain it without vanity or ego- tism to this most natural and truthful little girl at her side was not altogether an easy task. Alice's sweet directness could never be put off with poo -pooh or a displamor, as the dear old lady knew from an intimate acquaintance with her character. "1 think, my child, that this is the reason," the Duchess replied at last. "1 was early instructed that the way to make people happy was to appear inter- ested in the things , which interested them—naanely, their own affairs; and this could only be accomplished by bury- ing one's own grief, annoyance, satisfac- tion or joy completely Out of sight. Forgetfulness of one's own concerns, my dear, a milling face, a word of sym- • pathy and unselfish help, where it is possible to give it., will always make others happy, and, the giver equally so." Such counsel as this took deep root in the heart and mind of the beautiful Princess, and her brief but exceptional life proves the wonderful power of unsel- fish regard for others. Where could a better lesson for all our girls be found than this one, given so many years ago by the aged Duchess? was an - was uri- )ro- ude ned o' -ere • it the ght stl." 1 a as 4iing 1, a ble in- t lof the oy7 rch and un - the the and A P1 asure Shared by Women Only.

The usual remedies, vrhile they may give temporary relief, are likely to do more harm than good. What is needed Is an Alterati-e and Blood -purifier, Ayer's SarsapLzina is incomparably the best. It corrects those disturbances in the cireulation which cause sleepless- ness, gives increased vitality, and re- stores the nervous system to a healthful condition. Rev. T. G. A. Cota, agent of the, Mass. gome Missionary Society, writes that his stomach was out of order, his _sleep very often disturbed, and some im- purity of the blood manifest ; but that a perfoct cure was obtained' by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Frederick W. Pratt, 4124 Washington street, Boston, writes: " My daughter was prostrated with nervous debility. Ayer's Sarsaparilla restored her to health." William F. Bowker, F_!rie, Pa., was cured of nervousness and sleep1essneS8 by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for about two months, during 'which time his weight incroesed over twenty pounds.
