Why • He Close Her,
Why' is it that such unequal portions
of goodare meted out to different per -
eons? Was it not enoilggh that my ek-
ter Della should have had a fortune le."t
her by;her godmother, while I am the
"poor Miss-Wh'ton," (I quote from a
e each I chanced to overhear) that she
should be the beauty~ also? I would
not mind being plain looking, if I could
have retained the symmetry which
dwells even in a homely face. But
when a child of eight, I was kicked up-
on one cheek by a refractory colt my
father was training, and owing to a
lack.of skill in dressing the wound, the
disfigurement bec8,mea permanent
one. But I will not complain. The
bright side shall be resolutely turned
uppermost.
.A sweet ringing voice calls:
''Meta!" •
"What is it, Bella?" I respond.
"Come to the music room and try
ro-
noised Mr Reynolds to sing it for im
over that new duet. You know I
this evening, and I rely upon your rich
contralto to bring out my piping tre-
ble."
Little thinks Bella that her words
are again arousing within me the evil
spirit I have been trying to banish.
Charles Reynolds was my little knight-
errant years ago, when lie was in
knickerbockers and I was a' tiny maid
in pinafores. His parents went abroad
before lily poor face received the im-
print of Zephers hoof. He has not for-
gotten his little playmate, for Bella
says he was asking her about me at
the Degnby's fete.
THE NEXT DAY.
Alas for the blighting sorrow which
has come to,us 1 Charlie Reynolds is
with us and he is at the point of death.
He had made an engagement to accom-
pany Bella for a ride, and then to take
dinner with us and spend the evening;
but just as he entered our grounds a
band of urchins came marching along,
and the sudden tatto of the drum
frightened the horse,lwhich reared and
fell back upon its rider. Bella and I
have given up our boudoir for his sick-
room, as it is the pleasantest place in
the house; but at present he might be
in a dungeon, for all that he knows of
his surroundings. His injuries are
mostly confined to his head, and he is
unconscious. If maiiennawere`hiswery
own mother she could not be more at-
tentive tp his wants. She has consti-
tuted herself chief nurse at his bedside,
and if mortal help or solicitude can
avail be will have the benefit of it.
A $'3W DAYS LATER.
Mamma has sent for me to come to
the sickroom. ° What can she want of
me?
She meets me at the door. Her eyes
shovw.tiiat she .has been Drying.,
"Meta," she says a in a low whisper,
"he thinks I am his mother, and you
know ,she died years ago 1 It is so
piteous to . hear him. And he wants
me to sing. That is why le sent for
you, for I am sure that I should lose
control of my voice if I tried. I fear
the end is very near,"
I resolutely chokedown the tears
which rise to my eyes, and go to the
A Little Daughter
Of a Church of England minister
cured of a distressing rash, by
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Mr. Rlc:lnr:n
BUM, the well-known Druggist,,`:27
)fcGiII st., Montreal, P. Q., says:
I have sold Ayer's Family Medaciares
for 40 years, and have heard nothing but
good said of them. I know of many
Wonderful Claris

in particular being that of a little
daughter of a Church of England minis.
ter. The child was literally covered
from head to foot with a red and ex-
ceedingly troublesome rash, from which
she had suffered for two or three sears,
in spite of the best medical treatment
available. Her' father was in great
distress about the case, and, at my
recommendation, at hist began to att-
minister Ayer's Sarsaparilla, two bot-
tles of which effected a complete euro,
much to her relief and her father's
delight. I am sure, wore ho here to -day,
he would testify in the strongest terms
as to the merits of

,Cufrei othelre, will cure you
sufferer's bedside; ids is' rasping aim,
lessly at, the air, as though in search o!
something. I take the palet nerveless
hands in mine, and coimeence to sing
softly the words of a 'sweet old. bymki.
The sound acts like 'magic upon his
restlessness. Ile quiets down .and Soon
.falls asleep. I etaud in the eagle poet-
, tion, scarcely daringg, eo move, lest I

'them again, if he becomes restless. It

told; for•l feTt~� the strength pass away
from me as poor Charlie 'grew quiet,
and now my hands seem cold and life-
less.
He still sleeps, and mamma says :
"Thanks, dear, for your help. You
have done ney poor patient more good
than his medicine, I am sure, Now go
and rest, I may need you again."
But I was not agaili called to the
sick room until aboutthe came hour
next day. .Then carne a similar rest-
leseness and delusion, and again I held
his hands and sang for hien with the
same beneficial ,effect.
His rosin is darkened to that twi-
light p•loom whicn is so grateful to an
invalid's eyes. -
Objects have a sort ofvisionary look

again into the full glare of daylight I
feel like one who has been seeing
visions.
THREE WEEKS LATER.
Our invalid is convalescing slowly,
and the doctor says he can be wheeled
into the sitting rooms for a while every
day, and that sunlight must no longer
be excluded from his room.
So I must expect now to retire and
give place to Bella. I feel a keen pang
as I think of it—as a child might who
was to be deprived of a pleasure. My
voice helped to soothe poor Charlies
pain --tel call him Charlie to myself by
force of habit, but do not think anyone
has heard me place thus at defiance the
laws of etiquette—but melody does not
make up for physical ugliness.
Let me study my glass for the first
time in months. Am I hideous? Bella
comes in and finds me standing before
the mirror.
"Why, Meta," she says, with a light
laugh, "what has come over you?
Take care 1 Remember the fate of
Narcissus 1"
"Bella," I reply, earnestly,. "tell me
truly; am I as ugly as I imagine?
Bella looks at me an instant with un-
feigned surprise; then she saps: "I
wish that everyone looked as lovely to
me as you do."
"But that horrible scar 1" I say, and
I lay my finger upon it shrinkingly.
"True, I had forgotten that. Let me
see;" and Bella stands a little away
and studies my face with the look of a
connosieur. "Well, it isn't a beauty
spot, but one who is used to it don't
mind it."
"Ones who are not used to it would
shudder at it, would they?"
"Why, Meta, what has got into you
this morning? Are you going to be
sick?"
I laugh at Bella's look of anxiety,
and with that laugh my morbid fan-
cies flee away, and I am again like the
usual self which it is my habit to put
into the background so, completely
that since Charlie Reynold's advent
into our sphere of action I have seemed
to be changing, I have thought so
much more about my deformity and
how he would regard it.
._.J_forget.allbut pity when I come in-
to the room auk see hispooh;"Teale-facts
propped amid the piliows of his huge
invalid chair.
Mamma and Bella are there beside
him, but as mamma says, `Meta, come
here," he puts out one thin hand, and
says feebly as I place mine within it:—
"Miss Meta, I believe I owe to you a
good share of my getting thus far on
the road to health. Let me thank you
for your sweet hymns. They soothed
my troubled brain when all else failed."
I am glad," I say timidly; for the
pleasure his words give me cause my
heart to thrill with a strange happiness
which almost takes away my power of
speech.
"We are very proud and thankful
for our Meta's gift of song," says my
mother,. with a gentle pride in her
youngest duckling. Like the bird in
the story, her black nestling is as white
as the whitest.
"But you are to be very quiet, and
not talk much," the doctors say. "By
and by the restriction will he removed.
Then you can chatter away as muchas
you like."
A few weeks later and our -patient,
fully restored to health, is sauntering
slowly along, by my side through the
garden. It is June, and the roses are
in bloom.
"Please pick me a rose, Miss Meta,"
my companion asks.
I give him a handful of the blushing
beauties.
He looks at them critically, and at
last selects one for his button -hole. It
is not the prettiest one, and I say:
"Why do you take that homely little
rose? I thought you had better taste."
He looks at me with an expression
which I do not quite understand..
" Beauty is not everything, Miss
Meta," he answers. "This little rose
le so fragrant that it is my favorite.
It reminds nee of a young girl I knew.
It is so modest and unassuming that,
were it not for its sweetness one would
pass it by."
I raise my eyes wondering. and meet
the full splendor of his dark lustrous
ones. I begin to tremble, for his
meaning flashes into my mind.
"Will that little girl accept the devo-
tion of one who loves her dearly, that
without the hope of securing her gentle
companionship the world would seem
but a desert.
I know not how it is, but his arms
are about me, and I am hiding my tu-
multiious blushes upon his breast.
If Charles loves me, what care I any
loner for beauty ? I am the happiest
little girl in the whole world.
Recent revelations of immorality in
Montreal have startled end shocked the
citizens. It has been shown that with the
full knowledge of the police, houses of 111-
fame for the debauchment of girls of tend-
er yearsliavo existed for a long time in the
heart of the city undisturbed. The mo.
they of one of the child -victims coolly ad-
mitted that she was award that her dangh-'
for went there and that she herself had
sent her there for immoral purposes. No
wonder Judge Wgqrtelo expressed his horror
of such a state of things ane denounced
the police as oriminaliy negligent. Of all
the,gnilty persons interested, however, the
inhuman mother deserves the severest
punishment.

Oppressive.
CHLOROFORM nv HORSESHOEING
' Acting on the inspiration and advice
of a local veterinary surgeon, black-
smith "Gib" Pierce, of Norwich, Conn.,
used chloroform in shoeing Banker L.
A. Hyde's valuable and refectory fami-
ly horse last week. The horse was
good enough ordinarily, but when it
came to.a matter of having iron shoes
nailed to his feet he kicked habitually
and mightily. Mr Pierce, who was
familiar with that fact, at first tried to
coax the sprightly beast and convince
him in dentist style that he wouldn't
hurt him, but the instant he essayed to
pick up his nigh forward hoof the horse
showed him how easily he could raise
his hoof.
A crowd had gathered about the per-
formers. Local Veterinary Tower said
"Why not chloroform him? It's easy
enough." So the animal was chloro-
formed, though, he kicked against the
operation vigorously, and yielded re-
luctantly to the action of the anaesthe-
tic. It was wonderfully easy to shoe
him then, reclining on his side, with
his limp legs dangling.
Then all hands tried to arouse him,
but the steed, no less contrary, kicked
resolutely against taking up the burden
of consciousness again. He lay all day
motionless and flaccid• in the black-
smith shop, and the surgeon kept hire
swathed" in wet blankets and aoused
him with cold water douche from time
to time. At night he regained his con-
sciousness, and was returned to his
stall in Mr Hyde's handsome stable at
Norwich town.
But it was evident that his chloro-
form drunk hadn't agreed with him. A
fel* ditysifter re begamto droop then -
was attacked with lockjaw, and he died
in his stall of that malady. There is a
difference of opinion here about the
cause of his death. Many believe it
was due directly to chloroform, saying
that it was anunheard-of thing to em-
ploy the drug in shoeing a horse.
