Is not the spirit r(ann in- dustrial, creative, progressive? Ie there alseovery„ enlargenient, embodiment? 1)3 minds project, and wonder and worship? Have they complacency with dignity, eompaesion with restoration? Doo the spirit reolei suggest a system? "Ni. tore is a eyetem; .the ream. observable m in this system iiversel,e eternally enduring, and id le‘et,t act."he Is the creative head C depths! Porty.millione of stars Move in silence; they keep step to -times we do not hear. The tides mopeat the mur- mur on the beach of a theueand yeeto gone. .

Our hearte like muffled amine keep healing fun - pal =relies to the grave, beerotee the body is born, and therefore has to die. The spirit of man waited. at the door of carnal life, leaped into the place of commend, to swim -a seraph or sink a fiend, but not to die. We repeat, Is not the spirit realm. real? Is not the grass green in front of the palace of the Great Ring? la the reign of law found in the heavens, in the animal economy, In the tides, In the tendrils of the vine, and not in the spirit world? Wily, here God is at home a once they say Ile IOW alone; then He began ao giddier, then to braldo,some call Him the Cerponter- God, because He first makes a plan, then worke. He is the Spitit—mnbadied in Christ, Tte chtime the.right to rule the spirit of man, beeauee man is Hie off- spring. In t.hie spirit realm do 1 fina partial- ity? afayhap; "He prateth down one and setteth up another, and who shall steer HIS hand, or say what •d.oeth Thou?" In this spirit reAlm do find time without mutations, without merplexitiee, uncertainty, or drift? Are horizondine do they extend their eurvees, are Nieto departures and long obeeace; arrival4 with jubilant welcome ? In title spirit realm do.1 find that earth is thm only colony, or is apiter, - fourteen hundred times larger than the earth, A colony aliol fn this spivit realm Is there centralization„ projection, and frontier outposts? Do tides of prayer - ebb out from under the throne, divide into countless streams, rivers, rivulet, pausing to bless at many a million do0r3, thee returning in full flow and tarrying not till the sea before the throne is loud in thunders of praise, * Doth not the spirit realm afford me hope? Dotal not the ample Archway give me scope? I travel on the rainbow -bridge with glee, And Moir my loved once on my bosom free. How oft we meet in spirit trysting place, How oft the smiling flushes Of the face, The quickening pulse flona DU with. feel- ings true, And added life .delightful bonds renew. Vaairing spirits ever come and go, They circle round,in one unceasing flmv. What power is this that binds the heart with love? • Sweet is the realm where purest spirits move. —IL T. SOMETIUNG BETTER TITAN GOOD MOT'. VES. It is possible to make such et god of our motives that our duty to God gets shoved into the background. There are people who pride themselves more on their motives than on their deity doing. With them, duty does not often get done, Such persons, for example, say' with evi- dent pride that they won't go to &melt nless they feel a strong desire to wore ehip, or to get, same special help; that to go merely from habit is too perfune- tory for them, and would destroy the real purpose of the eintreh eervice. they stew away. If they feel like giving in a good cause, and eau give front a eonseigue motiveaor desire, to help that, ettlt.o, they will give; but under no other eireumahmeree At other time, when their motive It:omens to be exitetly the line of their duty, they will actually refrain from doing it lest people Should Mink their metivo Was an unworthy one. They will not 'put rt lap bill on the rot- tribution plate for feria they would be euspeeted of doing it fot "eltow."

Aunt Augusta did not in fact see the eouple until they entered the garden, and male aide by side up the path. She was 'standing on the terrace, trimming some of the vines, an office she would not leave to the gazalener. She turned In time to see Erna looking up in a moet rapt way into the_face of a rail and handsome stronger. iShe did not know the earl; except through A very brief correspondence, and. she did not in the least suepect that the approaching stranger 'was. he, It Was quite enough for her to see the 'Attitude of Mono She pulled off her gardening gloves and waited M majesty. "Oh, Aunt Augusta," exclaimed Erna, with an air of movk candor that Mrs, fludstone penetrated very easily, "leb. me present Lord Aubrey. Lord Aubrey, this is Aunt Augusta, of whomyou have heard me speak." 'Lord Aubrey/ said 'Mrs. Hudstone, austerely, "this is -an honor, liana, I beg that you will retire, to dress for the afternoon.' CHAPTER XII. Erna was not disposed Ace make any uoeless opposition before the earl, She knew that Aunt Augusta would insist; and she made a merit of necessity, by retiring gracefully. "I hope you will excuse- me, Cousin Aubrey.," she said, with saucy familiar- ity. "1 will leave Aunt Augusta to en- tertain you until I return.' "Certainly," he gravely replied, either. unconscious of her sauciness, or deter- mined ter ignore it.

"Lord Aubrey," :he said, as they took their seats, "if you had not done me thiaahonthe I should have presumed on our relations toward each other to call upon you. Perhaps I may say that I should have preferred to cell upon you," The eari sat with a grim inexpressive face, though he compreherided full well what her meaning was. But that blow had already been deal% him, and he was prepared for it in the .future, "To what relations do you refer?" he curtly oaked, • "I refer to our joint responsibility," she loftily replied. "And that responsibility goes how far?" said the earl, grimly. 'It extends into her future," said Mrs. Iludetone, with icy meaning. aIts should prevent our doing now anything that will mar that future. It involves a. high and holy care, which I shall not, on iny part, shirk, no matter what the conse- quences to me, or to her." "Will you please to be explicit, Mrs. Iludstonee I won't deny that I catch your meaning in part, but not in whole. Please use plain terms." "I will," answered the austere lady, shuttihg her thin lips in a manner to indicate that her terms would be pain- fully plain. nom tuy lord, were appealed to to supply the funds for the mainten- ance of your 'cousin.

The conformation of the head and .of the anterior portion of the body in tht adult stage is char- acterized by a strained and Lawn - metrical appearence, In this respect the flatfish differ from alI other mem- berg of their zoological class.
