"flrifOrtlinately awl too selfish to give up to strangers the accommo- s dation which has always beim re- s served for my friends." MisS retrington might be cold, might be prosaic, bet she was not 11 stunk!. She saw at once she had t gene too far, and hastened to aped- , ogize with very maidenly humility. ' "I am afraid you will think I care more tor tny plans than " tor the great happiness and honor you have just ar done me. But, indeed, Mr. Maude, it n, Ls aat ecs. It is only thee I never F find any one to, sympathise with MY 0 efforts but you, and so I tax your patience too, much; in my delight at e mead:rig some one wh,o be kind to g.11 rue." "Be kind to me too, then," I sag- w gested, venturing, now that we had oi got among the trees of the garden, to put my hand lightly on her waist. She understood, and with a real e bleak ria last, she let me kisa her. "1 "a have been a hermit a long tinie,"i said in a low voice, "and, I have d fallen out of tile ways of the world t a,nd cif wom,en. But if you will only li have patlence with me, and not be a too much frIghten.ed my uncouth way's, I will make you a very good hueband ; and I promise you it shall e be your own fault if I clo not make ti" you happy." "1 am hare of it," she said sim- ply, witit a confidence which was 1,11 flattering, if still astonishingly pro- td. sate. I led) her around the garden, gath- ered for her my beet roses and fas- tened teem together, while elle cri- tically surveyed the front of the house. "It wants a coat of whitewash, doesn't it ?" I said, anxioue to show her that I was no e too conserve,- tive. "Ye—es, and the ivy wants trim- ming. Why don't you, put it In the hands of the painters, Mr. Maude ?" "What, and go away. — already! Surely that is too much to expect," ventured, looking down into her eyes winch, if not boasting any praclical attraetiOns of "bidden depths," were very clear and straighteorward. "No, I don't mean that; but you could come and stay nearer to es. elle people at Lossie Villa are 'just going to leave, I know." "I am bound here for a little while, as one of my oldest friends has just asked me to give shelter to his wife and her mother for a few weeks." "Indeed! 011, they will be some people to imovv. Have I ever heard of them?" "I don't know. The mother's name is Mrs. Elimer, the daughter's—Mrs. Scott. She has been ill, I believe." ' Mrs. Milner Why, surely those are the people who used to live at the cottage! Oh, I have heard abent them and your kindness to them. People sakl—" She hesitated. ‘' Weil, what did they say ?'' "Oh, well, they Eald you used to be very fond of—the daughter." ' So I Was; so I am. But you need not be jealous." She laughed, a bright clear laugh, scarcely without a touch ot good- h,utnored contempt at the suggestion. I jealous! Oh, Mr. Maude, you 'would not ueriously accuse me of 812011 a paltry feeling! It would be unworthy off you, unworthy of me." I felt, when I had taken my fiancee home, and formally received her par- ents' sanction to our engagement, that I was myself unworthy to live In the intellectual and moral heights on which she fieurlshed. But I could creep after her in a, lannble fashion, and do my best to mnke bar love me. And in the meantime ray loyalty to my friend and my friend's wife was etrengtheneci by a new and sac- red bond.

GEORGE ROBB, Farmer, Markham, Ont. Sold by all druggists. Not Doing Anything. Twenty years ago a diecouraged young doctor in one of our large eitiee was .visited by Ms father, who came up from a rural dietriert to look after les boy. "Well, son," .Ife staid, "hove are you getting along ?" "Pm not getting along at all," was the answer. "I'mnot dereig thing." The old man's countenance fell, but lip spoke or courage and 'pati- ence and perseverance. Later in the day he went with his son to the "Free' Dispensary," where the salon), Ming mail had au unsalaried po- llee father sat by, a silent, but intensely interested ;spectator, • while twenty-five poor unfortu— nates received help. no doctor forgot hie visitor • winde he benthis, ekilled energies to his task; but hardly had the door closed on the last patient when the old man burst *forth: "I thought you told me that yon were not doing any- thing 1 Net doing anything I Why, If I had heipee twenty-five people In a month- as much as you have in ;one morning I would thank God that my life counted for some- thing." "There isn't any money in it, though:," exclaimed the son, some- what abashed. "Money 1" the old man shouted, still scornfully. "What is money in cOmparison with being of use to Your fellow -man? Never mind the ; you go right along at this work every day. I'll go back to the farm, and gladly earn enough to eupport you as long as 1 live." "That speech," I said to a friend of Mine, one who had spent many years as a conspicuously suceess- ful tetteher, "went Into the bones of the young manta life, and strougthened him for a life of un- selfish usefulness." "Alt 1" said the professor, "that one speech was worth years of text- book teaching I And yet it wee Intioantl.e" without an instant's prepare - "Par from; it," 1 answered, quick- ly. "It had taken sixty years of noble living, struggling against sin old self, pressing forward in the pieties of righteousness, bearing the cross, following hard atter the Pet- ra& Man, to prepare that old Christian to make his epeech.
