So that group also was taken, with the Ilighland river scene for its background, -aed then they went forward and overtook the carrieire. Mary was much more cheer- ful now, after getting away from that re- proachful eight of Cestle Heimra. Do you know' Mr. Ross," she was say- ing, "1 am aboutto encounter the bitterest erferny I have in the world?" "1 cannot believe you have any enemy," was his reply. "But who 118 this?" "dames Macdonald." " Oh, Macdonald the crofter at Cruagan. Well. what have you been doing to him ?" “ What have I been to doing to him ?" she said, with some epirin "You ehould rather ask what have I been doiug for him. I have been doing far top much for. him ; I suppose that is why he hates me. What haven's I done for him ! I took off the tax for the dike; I handed over the pasturage of Meall-na-Cruagan ; I had the decree of removalquashed, and gave back his holdiug after he had forfeited it; I,stopped the ac- tion against him for cleforcing the sheriff's officer. What marc? What more? And yet he looks aa if he would like to murder me if I try to speak to him," '6Have you any idea of the reason ?'.' "Ye," said Mary, a iittle:proudly. "He says that you are his 4aied, and not ; he says I have nothing' to do with the land or the people here." " Macdonald is a foolish man -and stub- born ; I will talk to him," he said, and he was thoughtful fora second or two. Indeed, when they arrived at the scat- tered little hamlet of Cruagaas'it was not the sun -pictures that occupiedMary Stan- ley's attention. The photographer was al- lowed to choose his subjects as he liked. For in driving up, they had perceived the sullen browed, Russian -looking crofter at work in his patch of potatoes; and as soon as the carriage stopped, young Ross left his com- panions, stepped over the bit of wire fenoe, and went along the potato drills. Macdon- ald ceased working, and respectfully raised his cap. Ross began speaking in a low voice, and yet with some emphasis, as the ladies in the wagonette could gather. It was impossible for them to overhear the words, even if they had beep able to under- stand; but as he proceeded it was clear enough that he was becomhsg angry and indignant, the man with the shaggy eyebrows and the determined jaw having answered once or twice. Then almost sud- denly there came a strange termination to .this fierce encounter. Young Rose remain- ed behind, glancing around him as if merely wsnting to know whether the crop promised well; but Macdonald came down the drills in the direction of the carriage. " Kathchen," said Mary, in an eager whisper, "he is coming to speak to me. Let me get out -quick !" , She stepped into the roadway. As Mac- donald came slowly toward e her he raised his eyes and regarded her a .second in si- lence. He took off his cap -aud forgot to put it on again. He was thinking what, to Take care that yofir drafts on your physical endurance don't come back to you some day marked "no funds."

You can spend these six weeks in finding fault with eich other, fighting and anatchieg when you get tired of this close 'confinement, as you inevitably will be. Or you can make it a point to speak kindly ; wait for whatever you want; be very par- ticular about saying, ' I beg your pardon,' when you interrupt cach other or pass in front of each other ; end, in general, treat each other like very fine gentlemen. I would advise that each of you regard the other as a foreign palace of great cense- qence, who has come to pay you a visit, and treat each other accordingly." This concert pleased the boys, and the six- weeks passed -not entirely without collisions -but, on the whole with great pleasure to all concerned. The boys atill talk of "that beautiful time we had when we had the scarlet fever." . The children of a home will behave, usu- ally, as their father and mother behave. A man who habitually treats his wife and her opinions with disrespect Will find his child- ren treating her in the same way. If he speaks crossly and unremionably to them, they may not dare to retaliate upon hien, but they will surely speak in the same way to their mates. If a hither is ready always to spring to his wife's assistance, to show respect to her opinions, to read her import- ant passages from papers or books, aud lis- ten thoughtfully to her- csmments, the children will pattern after him. Such children will instinctively form conventional good manners, but they will wear them un- conventionally, which is, no doubt, the ob- ject of all sooial training. say. " 1 -not =eh English.

And 1 -am to ask your pardon -and sorry I am if there is not god -will - and there is good -will now -and it is sorry I "Not at all -not at all; we are going to be quite good friends, Mr. Macdonald -and there's my hand on it," said she, in her frank, impetuous way. "And you are go- ing to ask me into your house ; and will you give Me a little bit of oetcelte or something of the kind -and when you are next over at Lochgarra you muat not for et to come and see me. And at any time, ind you, if you have anything to complain f, come to me first ; come direct to me.; d n't go to Mr. Purdie or anybody, for perh pi 1 might be able to settle the matter for you at once." And with that she called on Mr. Ross and told him they were goirtg into the cot- tage to get a bit of oatcake, 1 for Macdonald was already leading the way thither. When they came out of -Macdonald's cottage they found that the photographer had quite com- pleted hie work, BO they at once set out for home again. Mary was in an extraordinary stateaot delight over this vanquishment of her obdurate enemy, and said she should take meene to remind him of their com- pact of good -will. 13uti young Ross Only laughed. "'Wherefore he called that place Beer- sheba,'" he said, " because there they !were both of them.'" The following Saturday was Mary Stan- ley's birthday. Early in the morning she and Kate, in fulfillment of a long-standing engagement, drove away out to Craiglarig to pay a visit to Mr. Watson and talk over mime matters connected with his farm; and as they stayed for lunch they did not get hack till the afternoon. By that time the mail had come isoind there was an astonish- ing number of letters and parcels addressed to Miss Stanley, for she had a largenumber of friends in the south who held her' in kind- ly remembrance. She was looking at these mod guessing at the sendere, when she came to one that was - larger and heavier than the others ; more- over, it had not come by post, but by hand. Something impelled her to tear off the brown wrapper, and behold, here was the Rhodian dish she had so particularly admired when they were out at Heimra Island. "I saw he noticed how long you looked at it," said Kathchen, with smilingteyes. Well, she did not look at it !long now, beautiful as it was. She had turned again to the wrapper, and she seemed to take a curious interest in studying her own name as she found it there. "It is an unusual handwriting, don't you think so, Kathchen ?" she said glowly, and almost as if she were talking to herself. "Firm and precise, .

"I don't know about that at all.

It cannot be too early impressed upon children that they are to keep their natural proclivities under at home just the same as abroad ; that they are to treat each other just as kindly and politely as though they were strangers paying each other visite. Two boys, aged respectively twelve and fourteen years, were recently attacked with the scarlet fever, in a form so mild that they were not for a moment debarred from fol- lowing their usual pursuits, excepting that they were ordered by their physician to be confined in one room for six weeks. 'The largest and pleasantest apartment in the house was given up to them ; the books and games that they liked beet were moved there, and everything was arranged for their comfort. Then their mother sat down for a serious talk with them. "Now, boys," she began, "here you are, with the cook and me to wait upon you. We will do all that we possibly can to en- tertain you and keep you in good condition, For Horses and Cattle Use Dick's Blood Purifier Stanley.

Mr. Armstrong was a conscientious and liberal member of the Presbyterian Church. He was modest and unassuming in his character'but firm and steadfast in main- taining what he believed to be right. His honee was always a home for ministers. During his long continued Mims he was cheerful; and looked upward -and onward in faith and hope and increasing desire, "To depart and to be with Chritst, which is far better. As we think of bine we breathe the prayer, "Let me die the death of the right- eous, and let my last end he like his." Hullett.

A most shock- ing suicide was committed by Charles Mitchell cutting his throat with a reaping hook. Mr. Mitchell, it appears, was not altogether right in his mind at the time and had frequently told his son James, a boy of 16 years, that he had a good notion of put- ting an end to himself. On one occasion he told his son there was a hole in the ice near Mr. McMurray's place, just the size for him to crawl in and drown himself. When his son told his father to come away into the house he went and when on the path at the door he said to his son : "New, I feel like taking a good run through the fields. This was a few days before the deed was committed, and although he was well watched and all sharp tools were concealed from his sight, it appears a reaping hook unnoticed by anyone was in the wood shed, This he had seen when out for an armful of wood, and at the hour named, he went out- side, although a few of the neighbors were there at the time, no one ever thought what he went out for. A few moments after- ward one of his daughters went outside and was horrified to find her father lying on the path. She gave the alarm, and on Mr. Clark going out he found that Mr. Mitchell had cut his throat. They carried him in, and a physician was sent for, who dressed the wound, but he gradually grew wea,ker and died about midnight. He leaves a wife and five children, two sons and three daughters, to mourn his untimely end. Hay, Cousen m EETING. -The council met pur- suant to adjournment en Saturday, March llth.
