things provided, the remainder of the even-
ing was spent in music. The family will be
much missed in the community, as they
were very highly respected and esteemed by
all who had the pleasure' of their acquaint-
ance. All wish them prosperity .in their

His Best Self. -
;"Joe; what do you go to see that Miss
Reid so much for? she isn't pretty, she isn't
tich, and she is an orphan : she has no
fatally."
"What do I go to see her so mueh for ?"
queried Joe in- a dreamy tone. "No, she
isn't metty,and she isn't, ugly ; she certainly
isn't rich, for she teaches for a living ; and
though her parents are dead, they were nice
people. I go to see her beca,use she makes
me keep companyewith my best self when I
am with her. I say to myself when I am on
my way to_call on her 'Wow if you have
any noble thoughts, yeu can utter them Le
her, sure that they will be- appreciated.. If
you've read anything unusually fine or beau-
tiful, you can tell it to her, and find an eager
listener.' She always makes me true to the
highest and best that is in me.
"What do you think she said to me the
lest time I was there? I had been telling
her some funny story about old Giles, and I
repeated some of his jargon -you know how
he talks. Just before I came.away she said
in a Nery modest, downcast kind of way :
" 'Mr. Lyon, may I ask a favor of you?'
" 'Certainly,' I said, 'I would be most
happy to Obliee you.'
" 'Would you kindly refrain from repeat-
ing any profane words in tny hearing? slt
hurts me to hear them.'
" I felt as though six incites had been tak-
en from my statute, and I replied :
`I will not offend that way again,I know
the commandment, "Thou shalt not take
the name of the Lord thy God in vain," and
I suppose one ought never to repeat profane
language.'
"I tell you such a woman as that has cour-
age as well as conviction."
Mies Reid had- brothers from vt•hom she
was separated, and for whom she felt a sis-
terly solicitude. If I am careful to hold my
young gentlemen friends to high standards,
she said to herself, "some lady •perhaps will
do the same for my brothers.' .And this
motive actuated her in all her intercourse
with young men. She hail no thought of self
in the. heater, and when Mr. Lyon said to
her that he could be a better man with her
as his wifethan with -any other woman in the
world, the declaration came as a surprite to
her.• Friendship ripened into hive, love
which had "its seat in reason, and was jud-
icious." United in everything that was sin-
cerely good, the home they founded was the
home of peace, the cradle of all noble virtue,
the reward of high endeavor, and its most
potent stimulus. -Selected.
TO CURE DROPSY.
A New Treatment that. Differs
from the Old Methods and is
Invariably Successful.
MCINTYRE, Ontario, March 11.th.-Dropsy
is due in the majority of cases to some dis-
order of the kidneys. It is one of -the symp-
toms of ]right's disease and indicates ,an
advanced stage of the disease. One reaeon
why so many cases Of dropsy prove fatel is
that a wrong system of treatment is follow-
ed. If the cause be removed the disease
will Flisappear. - lake the kidneysall right
and dropsy will go. This is the plan fol-
lowed'_by Hugh Lamont, of this place, in
the case of his fourteen -year-old son, who
had dropsy since he was an infant. Mahe
mont gave the boy Dodd's Kidney Pills and

• Slight Misunderstanding.
A clergyman was very anxious to intro-
duce some new hymn books into the church,
and arranged with his clerk that the latter
was to give out the notice immediately
after the sermon. The clerk, however, hada
notice of his own with reference to the baptism
of infants, to give out. Accordingly, at the
close of the sermon, he rose and announced
that, " those who had children whom
they wished to have baptized were to send
in their names at once to the clerk." The
clergyman, who NVa,S stone deaf, assumed
that the clerk was giving, out the hymn-
book notice, and immediately rase and said,
" And I should like to say for the benefit
of those who heven't any, that they may be
obtained in the vestry any day from three
to four o'clock ; the ordinary little ones
is. each, and special ones with red -backs at

But when Donald came to speak of this
matter he said : Our little talk finally
decided me not to enter that scheme, Aneie.
I could -Irak down your argument, but I
could not feel willing to be engaged iu that
which a high-minded girl like you thought
below your standard of right. In these
days, when a young man has to fight every
inch of his way in the world, and. then
struggle to maintain it, the dust and noise
of the battle are so great that we cannot
always see and hear the trnth. That is
surely one reason that God gives you differ-
ent lives from ours ; sheltered. lives, calmer,
less tempted, less beset, that you may keep
the standard high, and that we may judge
by your standards," -American paper.

A correspondent of the Silver Cross
writes :
" I was invited out to dinner durieg my
visit to the World's Fair, and started on an
unknown car line,. feeling the depression of
being a stranger in a, stranee city. After
riding a block a lady entered car, and
as soon as seated reached out her hand, say-
ing : I greet you as a _sister, I see you
-wear the silver cross.' There was time for
only a, few hurried words and the -quick in-
terchange of cards, and then the lady left
the ear. But my loneliness .was gone, and I
felt that the wearing of the Weer cross had
brought me a friend. Could we.- not all
give to weevers of tht cross such a pleasant
greeting, even if wt. Ancet as strangers, and
in a street car? •
" (Inc of our members wore her eross in
paying a visit, and her friend, noting the
badge, enquired &beet the order. Out of
the clues -tem and reply came a circle of
thirty-one members -the ( ; race (;ardener's
Circle -and, best of all, to more than one
heart, the personal acceptance of the King
as Lord and Saviour.
" Possibly all have heard the rernark of
the Broadway policeman that the silver
cross is the best protection a young woman
can have in the crowded streets of a great
.eity. What it may mean to one travelling
alone has' just been shown with special
vividness. A young lady, a member of our
order, started on the 'imirney from Cali-.

The body was placed in the care of the
undertaker at the next station -a, small
country teem. Both the undertaker and
his wife were Members' of the order. and
when they saw the gleani of the silver cross
on the breast. of the dead, they cared for
the spirit's casket as for that of a. sister be-
loved. Taking it to their home they, with
other members, watched beside it, tenderly
notified the stricken friends in the far West,
and placed around it the flowers that told
of a common love and faith.
"The meaning of our badge ? It is a
symbol of brotherhood and sisterhood, of
unity and protection. And it is more than
this -it has a personal meaning, and each
wearer may well ask the question, The
