Miss Baeman's Leah is Of select and impressive

notable that actress is thoroughly identified with the
suffering woman whom she represents, aud that her

IFrnnl the Central Rantisf I

We long for the day when this
custom shall be obsolete. 1t is un-
becoming the truly sffllcted one. The
wearer says by the black garments
al have lost dear friend. ] sm in
deep sorrow" Bnt true grief does
not wish to parade itself before the
eye of the stranger; much less does
it assert its extent. The stricken
one naturally goes spart from the
world to pour out the tears. Real
afiiiction seeks privacy. 1t is not
respect to departed friends to say
we are in sorrow. II We have real
grief, it will be discovered. When
God has entered household in the
awful chastisement of death it is
time for religious meditation and
communion with God on the part of
the survivors. How sadly out of
place, then, are the milliner and the
dressmaker, the trying on of dresses,
and the trimming OF bonnets. There
is something profane in exciting
the vanity of young girl by fitting
q waist or trying on hat when the
corpse of q father is lying in an ad-
joining room. IL is sacrilege to
drag the widow from her grief to be
fitted for gown, or 20 select vail.
1t is often terribly oppressive to the
poor. The widow, lett d6solate,
with half dozen little children, the
family means already reduced by
the long sickness of the father, must
draw On her scanty purse to pay for
q new wardrobe for herself and child
rem, throsipg away the goodiy stock
of garments already prepared, when
she most likely know not where she
is to &c: bread for these little ones.
Truly may fashion be called tyrant,
whQn it robs a widow of her last dol
lar. Surely your sorrow will not be
questioned, even if you should not
call on the milliner to help display
it. Do not IN your affliction help
uphold custom which will turn the
of your poorer neighbor to
deeper poverty as well as SORROW

The Good Old Winters.

In 401 the Black Sea was entirely
frozen over. In 763, not only the
Black Sea but the S -rait of Darda-
nelles was frozen over the snow, in
some places, rose fifty feet high. In
S22 the great rivers of Europe-the
Danube, Elbe, etc, were frOzep so
hard as to bear heavy wagons for a
month. In $50, the Adriatic was
frozen over. In 961, everything was
frozen the crops totally failed, and
famine and pestilence closed the year.
In 1867 most OF the travellers in Ger
many were frozen to death on the
roads In 1874 the Po was frozen
from Cremona to the sea the wine
casks were burst and the trees split
by the action of the frost, with great
noise. In 1136 the Danube froze to
the bottom, aud remained long in
that state. In 1916 the crops wholly
failed ia Germany wheat, which the
year before sold in England at two
shi'lings the quarter, rose to f2. In
1889 the crops failed in Scotland
and such famine ensued that the
poor were reduc d 10 iced on grass,
and many perIshed miserably in the
iald. The successive winters OF
1882 3 4 were uncommonly severe
La 1868 the wine distributed to the
soldiers in Flanders, was cut with
hatchets. In 1858 the winter was ex-
cessively cold most of the hollies
were killed coaches drove along
the Thames, the ice of which was
eleven inches thick. In 1709 occur
red the cold winter; the frost pene-
trated three yards into the ground,
In 1716 booths were erected and
Iairs held on the Thames. In 1744
the strongest ale in England, expos
ed 10 the air, was covered in less
than fifteen minutes with ice an
eighth of an inch thick In 1909.
and again in 1872, the winters were
remarkably cold. In 1914 there was
a fair on the frozen Thames.

TIE INFLUENCE OF MUsIC.-Luther,
in his writings, is frequently and fer
vently thankful for being enriched
with love of music He says :''lt
is one of the fairest and most glorious
gifts of God, to which Satan is a bit
ter enemy for it removes from the
heart the weight OF sorrow, and
the fascination of evil thoughts
Music is kind and gentle discipline ;
it refines the passions, and improves
the understanding. Those who love
music are honest and gentle in their
tempers.' This latter assertion is
not true in these days of professional
musicians but then, those who live
by music do not necessarily love it,
so that Luther may be correct after
all.

THE LIGHT OF HOME.

She comes with fairy footsteps:
Softly the echoes fall;
And her shadow plays, like n summer shad
Across the garden wall.
The golden light is dancing bright,
Mid the mazes of her hair,
And her fair young locks are waving free
To the wooing ofthe air.
Like sportive fawn she boundeth
SO gleefully along,
As the wild young bird she caroleth
The burden of her song
The fragrant flowers are clustering thick,
Around her dancing feet.
And on her cheeks the autumn breeze,
Is breathing soft and sweet.
The very sunbeams seem to linger
Above her holy head,
And the wild flowers at her coming
Their richest fragrance shed.
And o, how lovely light and fragrance
Mingle in the light within!
o, how fondly do they nestle
Round the soul that knows no sin.
