so wicked as it has shown up since Sab-
both day."
Choosing the least frequented street
that opeped near him, Quentin followed
it up as fast as he could walk, and,
shaking the dust of Dingwall from his
feet, sought the open country. As it
grew late he saw near the road a dilapi-
dated bothie, and in the doorway a wo-
man with a child asleep on her knees
and another lying at her feet. She
looked so poor and forlorn that Quentin
was not afraid to ask her if she knew
where he might spend the night.
Na, unless ye spent it here. There's
a free corner o' the bothie, an' ye witi-
na incommode me nor the children. The
farm -wife below here said naebodv

as I'm travelin', an' what with carrying
the bit bairnie an' draggin' the lad—an'
his shanks maist wore off him, puir
wean 1—I'm clean done oot."
Quentin gladly dropped on the ground
beside the woman. She too was home-
less and poor ; -she could pity him.
"The farm -wife below gave us a' the
milk we eould drink—good body—and
she gave some scones and cheese for
my supper. Ye sail jerie some an' ye
are hungry."
"Fm not hungry; I have eaten,"
said Quentin, who • had eaten his two
dear bought tarts and was keeping his
bread and mutton pie for his next day's
food. "Hae ye come far?"
Ay," said the woman. "My mon

him and get sae far as F. William.

coming adapted for the central''figure in

Never say that you don't expect a man
to marry your whole family. It's vulgar.
You do. That is, it you are a good
daughter and a loving sister.' You want
him to be one with you in sympathy
and in affection, and as you take his
name, so you assuine responsibilities as
far as his ueople are concerned. You
two, are the most to each other—your
love for each should be the greatest,
but 'you cannot isolate yourselves and
insist that you have no duties Outside
your own home. If you do this you
become narrow and selfish, and you are
quite too nice a girl for that. So re-
member when he comes, this bridegroom
of yours, that his heart is bound the
tighter to you if the ribbon used to hold
it has written upon it in golden letters
"Love and consideration for those at

Forty Years.

And youth goes with them; so lpve, sweetheart,

the sleepers,hearieg the sounds of mirth,
came into our oar and asked about it.
And the people who had the loud-
est and dearest voices told the incident,
referring to me as "that man," or to
avoid tautology, as the story had to be
repeated many times in the course of one
_hundred and forty-five miles, "that fel-
low," or " that chap," or "that man sit -
tin' there." I sawed . wood very, (tem-
scientionsly for a long time after that,
but on another evil day I entertsined
another traveling audience by tugging
at a car window which had never been
opened since the ear was built If wore
a porous plaster on the plinth of my
spinal colnmn for a couple oi weeks, and
reformed again. I burned the old reso-
lutions onithe tablets of memory, and
engraved them with a pen of iron on my
heart. I also made up my mind that I
would endeavor to remember them.
Well, a week or two since I was thun-
dering along through the miles of ex-
quisite landscape gardening that mark
the suburbs of Philadelphia. A young
gentleman sitting just in front of me
left the train at a local station, and just
as we started again, half a dozen ex-
cited female voices shrilled out upon the
startled air :—" Oh'! Oh! Oh That -
young -man -has -left -his -umbrella ! Oh !
He'll -never -see -it -again! Call -him -quick!
Oh -throw -it -out -to -him -do -do -do- throw -
that -young -man -his -umbrella I" And as
they pointed at the young man and
shrieked at me, I hastily raised the
window, the power of darkness assist-
ing me, yelled at the young man, hurled
the umbrella at him like a javelin,and
we were gone.
In about two minutes a young man
two storeys and a mansard taller than
any member of my whole family came
down the aisle of that car with a dark-
ened brow, and looked long and earn-
estly into the vacant seat whence I had
just fired a silk umbrella with a ham-
mered silver head. He looked under
the seat and then he looked into the
rack. Then he looked atme. I didn't
look up, but I felt his eyes go clear
through me, as I gazed fixedly out of
the window and tried hard to think of
the form of prayer to be used for a man
weho expects to spend the rest of the
winter in the hospital. Before I could
remember it, the athletic -looking stran-
ger said kindly, but very firmly, "I left
an umbrella in this seat a few minutes
ago. For one moment the ghastliest
silence you ever heard settled down on
that car, and then those shrieking wo-
men giggled, as though it were a light.

We two, ah„what did we know of love when

at some thoughtless word that I said,
And blushed if I only pressed your hand,or a kiss
or your fair brown head.

Our hearts were light as bright bubbles blown
like childrnn in fairyland,
We wandered doiarn where the daisies grow, to
that wonderful golden strand,
Where all the dreams of the heart come true,
and lovers walk hand in hand.
Since thenssince then, oh, the long, long road
we have wandered through calm and storm
When leaves flew by us and snow flakes whirled,
and we watched the swallows Term
In winged cloads sweeping down the sky to
lands where the sun was warm.
"Eh' lie's 'a very tall mon with
curling white hair ontil his shoulders."
"And he wears the middle o' his eye-
brows cockit up so ?" said Quentin, lift-
ing his brows. " Verra white they are,
and he has a scar alangside o', his
cheek?"
"Save us! Ye ken him e I hope he
is well?"
" Ay, he's wed l and strong. By that
. token, he took me for a ne eredo-weel

"Losh ! ye dinna tell me? Wee!, the
best o' men will sometimes make a mis-
take."
• Appearances," said Quentin, "were

And wheur are ye gangin' ?" asked
the woman.
"To Glasgow, to my muster," 'said
Quentin.
" Wow ! it's a weary road. Ye will
do well to strike the grand Caledonian
canal; ye will find the boat people ver-
ra. geld, and they may gie ye a passage
or let ye work ane, and sae mItke yer
victuals."
Let us look at the map, said Quen-
tin, with a very scientific air; and he
spread out his map. explained it to the
woman, traced the course she had
come, and concluded to take her advice
and proceed to Beauley and Temple, and
so on to Fort William.
The woman highly commended Quen-
tin's learning ; she then said it was time
for sleep. She had piled some heather
in a corner and spread on it a shawl;
here she laid her children, and, piecing
herself by their side, covered herself
and them with her plaid. Quentin piled
some heather in 'mother corner and
wrapped himself in his plaid. ,
I hope, lad, ye dinna forget your
prayers? said the woman • iind the

all slept.
Next morning they all took a wash in
a neighboring stream, and then sat down
to eat breaktrat. Quentin had his pie ;
the others their scones and cheese. As
they ate a cart came by, and the woman
asked the driver if he would take her

And deep in your sweet tear -clouded eyes my
sunshine forever slept.
Look atme,. dear, with your true, kind eyes
beaming under your soft brown hair,
They are far more beautiful now, sweetheart,

And far more lovely your pale, worn cheeks',
than when blushes were burning there.

-a." What was the worst experience
you ever underwent, Colonel ?" "The
worst? Well, it occurred years ago
when I was a young man. I was a
sailor then, and the vessel on which I
was working was wrecked. A barrel
half full of whiskey was floating about
and I clung to it, drifting in the icy
water for a day and a night." "That
was horrible.' " Horrible ! No name
for it. I couldn't keep the bar-
rel in one position long enough to
open it."
—" Oh, Gawge " she sighed, as she -
turned her radiant face to his, "tell me,
darling, tell me do you love me for my
money, or for ADA I am really worth ?'
"Why, sweet," he fopdly replied,draw-
ing her very near to him, "for what you
are really worth, of course." " Bless
you for those words." And she nestled
in -his loving arms. "By the way,"
asked Gawge, and he playfully fondled
her diamond earrings, "ah—what are
you really worth."
—A very little girl in the infant' class
of one of our city Sunday Schools came
home one Sunday and told her mother
that the teacher had taught them a new
song. On expressing a wish to hear it,
the mother was much astonished at the
following sentence, which was all the
child could remember: "I'm a little
greenhorn among a half a cheese." . The
words which had been misunderstood
by the child were these: "I'm a
little gleaner among the harvest
sheaves.
—A teacher in one of the city schools
requires her pupils to write sentences
containing the words in the lessons,_
These sentences are sometimes very
funny. Here are two: One of the
words in the lesson was "urchin." A
little fellow who would evidently rather
stay at home and play than go ito school
wrote: "The father is urchin his boy
to school." The following is more sub -
tie; the word was "pacify," and the
sentence written was: "The author
pacifies the poem." "Why, what do
you think 'pacify' -means ?' asked the
teacher. "The dictionary Se -ye it means
'compose.'"
