Arabs possess a wise practice in
proceeding for divorce. When
married people seek a separation,
the Cadi orders them to live FOR
some time with a discreet and aus

see on which side the blame lies.
The elderly man makes report at
the expiration of the appointed

development of our best capabil

higher wisdom and stronger power
than their own; love answering to

ceive an atmosphere more eXquls-
itely adapted to quicken in young
souls the innate germs OF that NOR

tined to find its highest object in
the disclosure to it OF the father
hood of God? We often speak OF
the sanctities Of home. Literally,
as we'll as figuratvely, our charac-
terizatlon OF it is true: for il is there
that those affections are first elected,
exercised, and expanded, which IN
due time, ard unless perverted by
evil, will be filled with ihe lullneSs

Source, and that will consulate our

life becomes more anterior. We
are distracted from outward scenes

lived in the present. Our ear
grows deaf To external sound; it is
turned inward, and listens chiefly
to the echoes OF past voices. We
catch no more the merry laughter
OF children. We hear no'more the
note OF the morning bird. The
brook that used to Pfa;tle so gaily

forgotten TO hear such things. But
little children remember, sensitive.

complaining tone, should not startle

little being whose harp of life is
so newly and delica,ely strung,

land there was once fine piece OF
woodland. Tall eIms, or at oaks,
and siIvery- barked beeches grew
closely, yet not so much so but
that the sun beams shot down be
tween their branches to the earth
and kissed Into growth the seeds
hidden in the brown mold. The
ground, too. was broken and uneven.
Here it rose into messy hillocks
crowned with holly and hawthorn,
and garIanded with the purpiI,h
leaves and lilac blossoms OF the
ground-ivv. There it sank INTO
dells yellow with prinro>es, PINK
with wild flowers, and perIumed
with the tiny woodcoof- Again il
opened into glades green with short.
thick turf, and set with the broad
leaves and white bells OF the valley
lily. Happy animal life frightened
the pleasant spot. The nut seeking
squirrel leapei and chartered, the
tinid rabbit hid himself in the wav
ing fern, the pigeon coed, and the
nj ghtingale sung. There also came
the fairies to dance on the dewv
sward.
Upon the border of this wood
dwell little child. who was called
Honeybel. on account Of her loving
ways. There was nothing that she
liked so much as TO hunt for acorns,
and gather hyacinths and curious
orchises. Oae day she fell asleep
under a groupof elders, which grew
on the edge OF a glancing riIl.-
Their spreading bloom arched her
with its snow, and their scent. In
which lies a fairy spell, deepened
her slumber. The sun went down
The twilight followed. Then the
stars came out silently, one BY one
All was still, when troop OF fair
les went laughing b., and stumbled
against the dreamer with a torch
like that of a rose leaf. They
screamed with fear, but at the mo
ment the moon came from behind
a cloud, and showed them the closed
eyes, the smiling lips, and the
locked fingers stIIfgrasping trea-
sure OF crimson buds. The Queen
sighed, and exclaimed, "Why is
she sbt of us? Let us take her to
the Fortunate Islands,TwhIc know
neither cold or tempest.

husband.

There was but one way in which
they could accomplish this purpose,
and that was by means of a
charmed liquid, which they KEEP:
carefully in their home amidst the
