Ile was ushered in- to a spacious dining -room, when his tempor- ary. host said - ''That was merely a form of speech, not to be taken seriously.' - I am sorry,' said the ether, for it dis- sipates that delightful vision of free -mason- ry in him which your words conjured up before me.' At this point a 'youth bounded into the room. Oh, father,' he I did not know anyone was here. But I can't manage these questions. I wish you would write and say you do not wish me to go in for the Scrip- ture exam. You can, you know. And what is the good. of it?' The father looked half humorously to- wards the stranger.. This sort of thing is more in your line than in mine,' he could you give my son an opinion in the matter?' 'No,' said the other,'Ido not think an opinion would do much good. But perhaps I could help you with the questions,' he ad- dressed the young student, while I am par- taking of this generous shelter?' • The boy looked shy • then he said, in a, manly way -- Well, I wish you Would, please. I don't like funking a thing that nearly all the other fellows manage to do.' The two, so suddenly brought together, set to work. Soon the boy was deep in the subject, and then he said - 'Well, this opens up no end of possibili- ties! Why, I ane not going to be content with just knowing the answers to these questions --I must master the • whole sur- roundings' His father looked pleased; he thanked the stranger; and fetid - How strange this all seems !

After a mutual exchange of courtesies the stranger left, with a promise of further help to the boy, and giving his address. Six months later he received a letter from the youth, whom he had seen several times in the interval, telling of his father's desire to see him -he had- a communication to make - would the stranger come at once? • He went, and. found his genial rescuer from the storm in some distress of mind.

When my son told me the other day that be wish- ed to become a minister of the Gospel, for that you had shown him Jesus, and he re- joiced in salvation, I was overjoyed. Then I heard my own death warrant ; but I told my doctor it was all right for me. I only feared for my son.' Fear ubt,' said his his feet .are set upon a rock -his heart is right with God.

English spelling is remarkable for its in- definite variety. .As longas " finds," is spelled " phthisis " the voice of the spell- ing reformer should be heard in the land. Mr, Turner, in the following incident, in view of the present method of spelling, was entirely consistent: • . • - Dobbs met his friend Turner on the train. They were both going to London, and stop- ped at the same hotel. Turner registered his name, "E. K. Phtholognyrrh.' Dobbs noticing it, exolaimed • "Here, what are you assuming such a foreign name for ? Are you in any trouble ?" " Not a bit of replied Turner, "and 1 am mai-assuming any foreign name." • • " What kind of a name is that ?." demand- ed Dobbs. • Thatais my identical old name," per- sisted Turner, and it is English, too- pronounded plainly Turner. • "1 malt Hee hove you can make Turner out of those thitteen letters ,• besides, what is your object in spelling that way !" asked Dodds. • "Well, you see, nobody ever noticed my name on the register when I wrote it Tur- ner," explained the latter, but since I com- menced writing it " Phtholognyrrh " I set them all guessing. They wonder what na- tion I am from; what my name is. I can now hear people talk about me all around. It is, as I said before, English spelling. e Meth,' -there is the sound of .'t' in 'phth- isis,' 'olo,' there is the ear' in colonel; there is the 'n' in 'gnat'; ‘yrrhe is the sound of 'er' in 'myrrh."

Some one has forcibly remarked that prop- er names escape from the memory as easily as greased pigs, and illustrates the remark with an anecodote concerning Joe Jefferson, who never forgot his lines, buk had an im- perfect recollection of names. • Jefferson had been introduced to Gen. Grant at a time when that distinguished soldiCr was the lion of the social world, and, the popular actor was much impressed with the person- ality of the hero. A few hours later as he went- up in his hotel elevator, a rugged - looking man with a military bearing bowed pleasantly to him, and made an observation regarding the speed of the elevator, when •Jefferson said : • I beg your pardon. Your face is very familiar but II cannot recall your " Grant," was the laconic but perfctly courteous reply. t •" I got off at the ferson "lar fear I he hail ever been in A favorite trick is to substitute soni wanted, a process A. Lie is a Lie. • Mr. Jones was a man who always told the exact truth, and the same regard for truth which he practised himself he demanded of those whom he employed. When Henry Leith seeured a position in his office every one said it was a splendid chance for the boy. If he suited Mr. Jones he was sure to work his way up to some responsible posi- tion in time. His father cautioned him about his conduct before he began to work. " Remember," he said, "that Mr. Jones is very particular about truthfulness. He is Gs particular about it in small matters as in large ones. Keep this always in mind." Mr. Leitch ewes anxious to impress the importance of absolute veracity on his sone because he knew that he was inclined to be somewhat lax in this respect: • For a time Henry profited by his father's advice. Then he began to get careless. It was not long before Mr. Jones satisfied him- self -that Henry's statements could not im- plicitly be relied on. Then he said to him: We must part company. I have no use for a boy whose word I cannot have entire confidence in." - "Do you mean to say I have lied to you ?" asked. Henry, indignantly. You may not call it lying," was the re- ply. " Some people sulboth it over with , their conscience by calling such things white lies.' I don't. I consider a lie a lie, no matter what its degree. I'm sorry we cannot get along together but -we can -- not, for I cannot trust you." " So Henry lost his splendM chance." Remember boys whether you call it black or white, a lie's a lie. -Eben E. Rexford, in New YorktObserver. "Before I came to this part of the coun- try I was engineer on a railroad down south," said a railway man. "We used to make a long run, and we were pretty slow about it.' lierhile on that line I had some very odd experiences. I remember one day, when we reached the junction station a wo- man came up to me and asked tpe to hold the train for fife minutes. She said that her daughter wanted to take the train to the city. I told her thaa it was impossible for me to hold the train for her. "1 don't see why," she expostulated. "I think you might do a little thing like that." I tried to explain to her that trains ran on schedule time, and, like time mid tide wait for no man, or woman either, for that -matter. But she wouldn't have. it, and fi n - ally, just as we were about to start, she shouted indignantly: Well, I'll just see_about that." I laughed, but soon I ceased to laugh. For what did that old woman do but get right on the track about three feet in front of the engine. She sat herself there, firmly grasping hold of the rails with -both hands. The conductor signalled for me to go ahead, as our stop was over, but couldn't do it as long as she remained on the track, for I would kill her certainly. I called to the conductor, and he, impatient at the delay, came up. explained the situation to him. • He waeras rnad as I was, and going up' to the woman told her to get off the track. "1 just wou't she replied, " my daughter gets on board your train." He 'pleaded -with her some more, and finally declared that -he would be compelled to use force. Just you dare," she cried, "I'll sue you for damages if you do." This opened a new complication, and we rea,soned, with ourselves whether we had better remove her by force. Just as we had determined upon a course of policy, her daughter came up, and, seeing the old wo- mao on the track, kissed her good-bye and A TEA -GROWING PARADISE."

An aunt of mine when she was young was at a musical party in Edinburgh. A gen- tleman sang with great feeling, "Oh, why left I my Mime !" When it was finished some one asked - "Can you tell me who is the author of that song ?" "Oh, yes," answered the singer; laugh- ing, "it is a half daft fello doon aboot Leith they ea' Gilfillan." The singer was himself Gallen, the author. Some friends of my grandfather lived over in Fife close to a family called Chalmers. A low dyke divided the two kailyends. It was the custom of the two old fathers to lean over this low dyke that divided their properties and crack at the darkening. One evening the old. man said to Chalmers -e • "What's that up at the heid o' the yaird?" . Old Chalmers turned his head. leisurely around. "Oh, that's oor daft Tam studying the stars." "Daft Tam" was afterward Dr. Chal- mers. A lady who lived once at Portobello told me she had as neighbors a family celled Maokay. The water for household purposes was taken from a pump well. One morning this well would not work, and the man called in did more harm than good. The young lad Mackay came round. • "If you Mt me I think I can mend it," said the schoolboy. They laughed at him. "Von may try whoa you can. do. You can make it no worse," said the lady. They left him. A while after he came- it is all right," he said, modestly. Sure enough it was all right. Young Mackay went out to Africa and became a missionary. He died all too early. In Moffat there was a natural daughter of "Burris" serving at Cranstone Hotel, under the name of " Eelin the Cook."

The feeling was on of constant dread. I expected some- thing; dreadful to happen, I knew not what. Again I was dizzy, m memory failed me very .often, and as ' a matter of fact my whole 'system was out of order. Our druggist, Mr. H. W. Love, corner Broadview and Danforth avenues recommended Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills some three weeks ago, and I - have taken them according to directions. From the very first I began to improve, and am now surprised at the changein my condition. I am very much stronger; my nervet are eteady. and my memory bright, I no longer Buffer with that morbid feeling ef dread. The pills have proved certainly, in nay case, a remarkable remedy for weak nerves and re- duced physical strength. I cannot too1highly recom- mend them to all who snffer front any i or all of the symptoms which I have mentioned to you, and must return my thanks to the manufactuters of these pills for placing Buchan excellent medicine before the public." , (Sgd.)
