"Ah, but you would have heard of it,
said Kate, IL you bad staid quietly in camp
to get your letter, instead Of rowing over the
country without word Of warning to your
friends ...- ..... .--
d" Give me one more kiss, Katie. and Pm
off to see them. One more, my betrothed

"And you are my soldier now. whispered
Kate, playing with the gold buttons on his
coat with tremulous fingers. Mine to 81 nd

no gift for my country, now can. give my

So there were three surprises that May
evening-one for Kate Marian, (wouldn't
you have been surprised, Mademoisele, to be
caught and kissed in the dark and not know
who the ksser was?) one for Captain Silver
Ga very agreeable one though, and the old
original surprise, if We may 80 term it, for
his mother and sister. And Carl has not yet
left off congratua;ing himself that his "leave
Of absence" occurred in the Howeyy and mig
ra ory month of May. For if he admit blum
dered into Miss Mariam's house, and kissed
her by mistake, thereby bringing matters
prtciptately to focus, the probabilities are
that to this day he never would have mus
tered courage to tell her of his love.
And when the golden armadas of tire au-
tumn eages float down the forest brooks,
and The blue mist Of Indian summer wraps
the hills in dreamy light, Carl Silver is com

FIFTEEN GREAT MISTAKES

Iti great mistake to set up our own
standard Of right and Of wrong, aud judge
people accordingly. 1t is grtat mistake to
measure the enjoyment of others by our owo;;
to expect unifornity Of opinion in this world;
to look for Judgment and experience Inyouth
to endcavor to mould all dispositions alike /;
not to yield in immateral trites to look for
perfection in our actions to worry ourselves
and others with what cannot be remedied -
not to alleviate all that needs slleviation as
far as lies in our power not to make allow.
ances for the inhrmi ties of others to consid-
er everything impossible which We cannot
perform, to believe only what our finite minds
can grasp; to expect to be able TO under~
stand everything. The greatest Of all mis-
takes is to live only for Time, and that when
any moment may launch us into Eternity,

THE RULING PASSION,


| An eminent Fronch artist possesses a nod
ey' very intelligent, very ugly, bpt an i'm
! meDse, pet Of her owners. MademuisilIe
NQuniae, however, possesses all the defects
which the cynic considers to be particularly
feminine. She is lazy, inq'iiSitYe, excess
,vely addicted TO sugar plurns, fruit cake, &C.,
tidgety, disorderly, touching every ything,
breaking everything she touches, daubine
her masters pictures, twisting the necka of
his wife's canaries. and one upon time
pulled every feather out of splendid parrot
IN imitation of the cook, who she had seen
day before picking fowl. A sh IT time
since, the artist, having to go out, and dread
ing lest Nnuine should perform SON, new e
piece Of mischief during his absence, betho't
himself of method Of furnishing her with
sumething TO do until his return. He ac-
coadIngly took The monkey in his lap, Dress
ed her in gay gown which had served As g
model in one of his pictures, in which figure
a marquis If the time of LOUIS XIV, painted
her checks white and red, with black
,atch under one eye, powdered her heaai
aud then having seated her on the floor, in n
correr of the aIIier. with a small looking
glass in her hand left her, not without some
msgiving, and promising himself NOT to 30
long way. But instead of returning early.
the artist was Unexpectedly detained, and
only got home the next morning. He o.
the ateIier went in terror. expecting to find
everything upside down, and half his pictures
spoiled.
81 really must get rid Of Nouine," said the
artist to himself, as he anxiousiy unlocked
the d. OF Of mis- studio, "fOr | cannot let my
work remain at the little wretch's mercy !.
But to his surprise and relief he found her
asleep, exactly where be had placed her. and
holding the looking glass in her hands. Not
thing had been touched By her in the arr
fists absence.
"The fact is,'' continued the cyuic, "thas
the ugly little beast, as vain as her sex enti
| thus her to be, had been so en1ap,ured with
heI own beauty and that Of her finery, that
she had remained lhr, ugh the entire day, alb
sorbed in the contemplation OF her charming
self in the little hand-glass. Now tell me"
he added trumphantly appealing to his lis
teners, "does anybody believe that male
monkey would have passed whole after
noon in gazing at himself in a hirror, and
can anybody doubt, after such proof to the
contrary, that vanity is the ruling rassion
the female sex ?"

BAsHFULNEsS IN YOUTH.

Young people, on their first admission to
| this outer world, are especially afflicted with
| false shame So that it may be regarded as
one o: the moral diseases of the minds iufan-
| cy. 1t is at the bottom of great deal Of
their shyness. They cannot feel at ease, be-
cause they mistrust something about themA
selves or their belongings, and have that feel
ing OF baroness and exposure in the presence
of unfamiliar eyes which attaches TO sensI-
tiveness under unlrled circumstances. Every
thing then assumes magnified, exaggerated
characIei, the place they occupy on the one
hand, and the importance of the occasion on
the other. The present company is the woI Id
the universe, convention of men and gods
all forming deliberate and il reversible judg-
ment upon them. aud deciding u their dlsad-
vantage on account of some oddness, or awk-
wardness, or passln, slrpgin them selves or III
the access ,ries about them. But IN most
per- obs, time and experience bring So much
humility as teaches them their insignlficanct.
1t is not, we soon learn, very ltAeiy that at
any given time mixed assemblage is think
ng very much about US and then the horror
OF a consp cuous position loses its main sting
This ON the one hand on the other, We are
not as dependent on the award Of society as
we were. Even roontul comprises, t. our
enlarged Imagination, by no means the whole
creation. There is something worth caring
for outside those walls. And also we have
come ~ form a Sort of estimate OF ourselves
