There are two main thoroughfares of prayer—one is the way of man to God, the other is the way of Goa to man, The firet is the most frequented road, hard, barren, unbeautiful; full of dark- ness, labor, and uncertainty, When in distresss they call; the cey is hollow and loud, for it is out of the empty heart. They are always beginning, al- ways on the threshold. The joy of progress is not theirs, nor the fulness of a well rounded life, The certainty of tu-rival is not found in their heart. They labor and neyer.come to a fun knowledge of the truth. Their cry is a cry of want, their hope is a. hope of gain; it is a self-inflieted cruelty, a burden to the weary heart. The travellers in the other thorough- fare are thll of a. degnitied composure; there is a quietneee in their strength; they have a well trained eye, and listen throu,gh long-distanee telephone; a vitality of spiritual intensity which reaches far and always travels down- wards. Like a ship at a wharf out- ward bound, it is a loading up and start- ing on a voyage, it is over full; its joy is to give; it blesses with both hands ear- nestly. The first draught at the foun- tain of life fills it, and it ie empty never more. Being justified freely by His grace, the soul is free and cometh not any more under the dark elduci of condemna- tion. There is weakness but no want, immaturity but no uncertainty, (Burmese but no darkness,; There is a bracing of immortal youth and the equipment for the strife in.the defence of the heavenly places wheie they dwell. • • • N UGGETS Live with the light of God's love shin- ing into your conunon day. Take old gifts and conthmed joys as though they were fresh gifts, as indeed they are. So we cen sing a new song unto the Lord every day.

It may be that I have plenty of annoyances, but they don't trouble me when His presence ie with me. .Am I downcast and worried, then am away from God.

Hope and faith and love are anchors of the soul, tried and true. Have you got them aboard, They will grip the Rock and. will hold the life safe amid. the dlr- est storm that ever threatened to en- gullthe human heart. A large draught of Bible taken every morning, a throwing open of the heart's windows to the promises of the Master, a few words of honest prayer, a deed or . two of kindness to the next person you meet, will do more to brighten your ea,countenance and gladden your life than all the doctor's drugs.

Sylvia would have gone to him, but hie looks frightened and rep Alva her. She went to Ellen, who wis quietle weeping and embracing her, asked: "Oh, Ellen. what is the n e with Falconer.

"Hush, my child, ciou't risk-eyou ,vill know some day. ,1 for Fal emer, be is a wild, hot-neaded boy, who is lotting' his passions run ahead of Ids reason." "I hope he does not fancy,' conthmed Ellen, "that beeause once in a a grateful mouse delivered it lion frmn net, that it is possible in halt foe a mouse to entrap a lion."

And now the poor, weak mother sigh- ed and groaned with vain repentagice, that she bad indulged and yielded to her noble -hearted but too headstrong boy from his early youth to the present, when he was too self-willed to be con- trolled. She wrote to Daniel Hunter, again thanking him for his kind intentions. but begging him to allow her to reserve her acceptance of his offer for some future time. Thus she endeavored to escepe the pain and the loss of a positive refusal. CHAPTER XXI. "We understand," said the local paper, "that Dardel Hunter has been appointed the ambassador to France." Such was the fact, and after an affec- timmte parting with "sweet Maud," for whom Mrs. Hunter possessed an all - consuming love. the new ambaseador and his wife set sail for Europe. Several years paeod before the child and the lady again met. Indeed, the child and the lady never met again, for in tbe years of absence, the child became the womath Ilad either at tbe moment of their partine suspected the length of time that should separate them, scarcely conld they have borne to say "good-bye."

SPARKS FROM A PHILOSOPHER'S FORGE. If worry and wickedness were exclud- ed from the %sphere of human ttetivitY, men could. ea,pitalize energy and. invest it in longevity. Straitened circumstances are deter- mining fectors eementing the bonds of fifeerdsliete Give of your substance if you would have people appreeia,te your sympathy and emulate your spirit. People who carry their heart on their sleeve usually leave their alabaster box on the dressing table on visiting days. Many resolutions of the morning give birth to the regrets of the evening. Lack of self-confidence inayr take the sweetness out of your apple; but over- much confidence in others often takes the apple itself. A true heart, a balanced inind, and a God -adjusted censcience will convert the obstacles encountered in the path of duty into mediums of inspiration. He who clings to. others for support to -day may have to cringe before them in Famines so -Morrow. It is hard for sordid minds to believe in purity, or aruel natures to believe in love. The silence of the eon]. is less musi- cal than its song. It seems infinitely more natural to for- get a kindness than to forgive an injury. All that stands between some men and fortune is principle; and all that stands between others and .perditon is grace. The best way to help our neighbor bear his burden is to manfully and un- complainingly bear our own.—J. M. H. A. A WOMAN'S LOGIC. If Jesus Christ is everything to me.

And he began to rise from his knees, But she clasped his hands and detain- ed him, gazing with her heavenly eyes upon his troubled face. And her words fell like heavenly blessing on his soul. "I do not now even ask you whether your father was innocent or guilty. But I tell you that, to -morrow, if you please, I will go to church with you and become your wife," "Sylvia! Sylvia! are you crazy?" ex- claimed Falemier, starting up, and, in a tone of voice indescribable from its blending of doubt with unutterable joy. "No, my poor, dear harassed boy— my boy who would be a giant if he had but faith. I am in earnest—I will 'be your wife to -morrow." "011, my dear Sylvia! Yes if I had had but faith' even in you to have told you my secret sorrow before, how much anguish it bad saved me And you never gave Mrs. Hunter the promise sbe wished to exact !" "She did not wish to exact a promise. She said she hoped I would not marry until she got home. I offered to bind myself by a promise not to do so; but, oll! mark the lady's goodness! she would not let me! She said she felt that in any case where her known wishes were not strong enough to restrain me, I ought not to be restrained at all!" "Oh, my dear—my dear Sylvia!

Sylvia, Neal' the housewife's instinct, tried all she could to add to the narrow income of the family.

The fair young couple were amply blessed with "the blessings happy peasants have," in the form of hal fa dozen pretty little creatures, al- to eating girls and boy s One evening, about the middle of Nov- ember, Sylvia was sitting and knitting alone in the little parlor, wishing for her brother's return from the post office, perchance with a letter from Mrs. Hun- ter. Presently the latch of the door lifted, and Falconer came in. He threw the expected letter in her lap. It bore a foreign stamp. She tore it open and devoured its contents with a countee- time that grew brighter and brighter as she -read. She finished it with an excla- mation of joy: "Oli, -Mrs. Hunter: sne is coming home, Falconer! she is coming home! I am so. so happy!" With a sound between a sigh and a grunt, Falconer tossed his hat from him and strode up and down the floor in great excitement. She watched in per- plexity hie most unreasonable agitation, and'after a little while inquired in a gen- tle, sad tone: "Falconer, nee you not pleased because Mr. and Mrs. Hunter ttre coming home?" "Pleased!" he exclaimed, pausine abruptly in his hasty walk. "Nol you know I am not pleased! You know 1 hate, detest, abhor the very name of that man, and you ask me if I am not pleas- ed!" "Tiut Mrs. Hunter, Falconer—" "What is she to us, or what are we to her? She is like her husband. They ate all of a piece, renegade republicans! up- start aristocrats! Away with them! We don't want them here! Let them stay where they are; it suits them better. Let them sun themselves in the glare Of foreign courts," he exclaimed, in bitter scorn and anger. His violent temper often flattened the maiden very much, but she could not let this pass. It, would not be right, she felt. She replied, gent- ly, but firmly: "There le no one in the world more worthy of love, honor and reverence thee Daniel Hunter and his dear, lovely —yes, adorable lady! There is lio one under heaven that I love and honor and reverence so much as them." He stood and gnawed his under lip. and glared at her till a circle of white flamed around Ids clerk orbs, and chok- ingly exclaimed: "You—you do You—you avow it I" "I should deserve to die if I did not," replied Sylvia, firmly still, though she turned pale. He started and fluue himself out of the house, banging the 'door behind him with a force that shook the rafters. And what became of him for the next two or three hours no one knew but his own evil demon. Sylvia was knitting when Falconer came back. Quietly he closed the door, ,and as she looked up he came to her and sank down on the carpet by her side, aml laid his head on her lap—just 0S he had often in similar circumstances laid it on his mother's.

The city of Now York has three public library systems, one for Manhattan, Bronx and Richmond boroughs, another for Brooklyn and another for Queen's borough. In 1906 there were tlairty-six circuleting branch libraries in the Man- hattan, Bronx and Richmond system, with 505,482 books, having last year a circulation of 4,752,628; in Brooklyn -25 branches with 476,009 books and a circu- lation of 2,579,068, and. hi Queen's four- teen branches with 92,910 books and a circulation of 344,038. In the 45 cities of the State, contain- ing, by the census of 1905, 5,700,675 in- habitants, or 70 per cent. of the total population, there are 2,499,408 books in the free circulating libraries, or an aver- age of 100 books for every 224 inhabi- tants." In fourteen cities, including New Yore, the supply of books is below this average. In thirty-one cities it is above the average. The library circulation in citiee was 11,741,573, a gain of 1,634,627 or 16 per cent. for the year. As com- pared with population this circulation was at the rate of two books for each inhabitant. As compared with the books available, every 100 books were used' 461 times. In this respect New York city is above the average. While the city circulation was 11,741,- 573 for 5,700,675 inhabitants, the circu- lation outside of cities for 2,366,633 in- habitants was 2,008,439. This indicates that 70 per cent. of the population of the State living in cities use 85 per cent. of the books, and while in the cities each inhabitant had two books, in the country each had. less than one.

Phillips Brooks once premised I tier. mon erom the text, "Who pimeing through the vstaley of weeping make it a well," He mid that there were two ways of treating aorrow, Ono may bay, "This thet I have to bear is hard, but the clouds will break and there will come IxAter day.. Compensation is in etore for me, It may not be in this world, but some time it will ell be made up to me," Or ho may say, "I will do jeet what Seriptureetells me to do. I ' will make of my valleys of weeping, well-oprings of joy. I will turn Badness into occasions for rejoicings" The epee - tie says, °In overything give thanke." Assuredly we cannot be thankful for everything, bfit in every experience that comes to us we may find some remon for giving thanks. 'When Jeremy Tay. lor's house had been plundere,d, all his worldly poeseations squandered, his family turned out of doors, ne congrat- ulated himself that his enemies, had left him "the sun and moon, a loving wife, many friends to pity and relieve, the Providence of God, all the promises of the Gospel, my religion, my hope of heaven, and my charity toward my ene- mies." Can you see the glory of the Lord in the cloud? The meeting hero of Lord Selborne, High Cosnmissmnor oe South Africa, and Luan- Ike. Paramount Chief of Barotseland, was full of quaint incident. Nothing could oe more picturesque , than Lupanika's arrival. A fleet of some 2,50 na- tive dugout canoes came up tho broad Zam- besi, led by the chlof's own enormous boat, with its crew of thirty paddlera. There broke from the hundreds of women taseembled on the shore the royal song of welcome as Luanilca's craft drew nigh. Dressed in every imaginable brilliant color, black faces shining and black eyes sparkling with excitement, the women marohed slowly forward to the rhythmical clapping of hands, chanting as they went, to the river bank, and them with wild shrie'ks aud peals of laughter, broke their ranks end raced to bathe their hands and faces la the water in which tho kiag's boat swam. In the evening the Paramount Chief pre- sented Lord Selborno with a young hippopot- amus. Tins beast, which is perfectly tame and about half grown, had followed the chief's canoe SOO miles down the river from Lialui. taking no more than a passing in- terest in the horde of wild "hippos" on the way.

"There is a little town out in Iowa where our train stopped at the dinner hour for a few minutes the other day that is noted for the thieves about the station," said a drummer at the Holten- den yesterday. "They know that most of the passengers leave the train to get a bite to eat and they go through the train and pick up suit cases, overcoats or anything they can lay hands on. "Of course the conductors or the few passengers in the coaches can't always tell' but that the stuff belongs to the man taking it and they doe't like to say anything. One man on our train knew the reputation of the place, and when he laid his cravenette coat over the beck of his seat he ran a little chain around! the arm of the seat and through one, sleeve of the coat and fastened it with a padlock. Then he moved back to an- othee seat to await results. In a little while a well dressed young man passed down the aisle rapidly and grabbed up the coat as he went by. He turned three or four different colors when he saw that the coat was nailed down. J thought that was my coat,' he said, as he looked around at the few of us who had noticed him " 'Yes,' spoke up the owner of the coat, 'and if I hadn't had it chained X guess it would have been yours.'
