THE CHARM OF REsERvE.-Do not be
too anxious to give away yourself, to
wear your heart upon your sleeve. 1t is
not only unwise, il is wrong to make
your secret soul common property. For
you bring the delicate things of the
heart into contempt by exposing them 10
those who cannot understand them. Ii
you throw pearls before swine, they will
turn and rend you. Nor, again, should
you claim to openness, as duty due to
you, from your child, your friend, your
wife, or your husband. Much Of the
charm of life is ruined by exacting de-
mands of confidence. Respect the natu-
raj modesty of the soul its more deli
cate flowers of feeling close their petals
when they are touched too rudely. Wait
with curious love-with eager interest
for the time when, all being harmonious,
the revelation will come of its own ac-
cord, undemanded. The expectation
has Its charm, for as long as life has some-
thing to learn, life is interesting as long
as friend has something to give, friend
ship is delightful. Those who wish to
destroy all mystery in those they love,
to have everything revealed, are uncon-
sciously killing their own happiness. 1t
is much to be with those who have many
things to say to us which we cannot bear
now. 1t is much to live with those who
sometimes speak to us in parables-if
we love them. Love needs some indie
fniteness in order to keep its charm.
Respect, which saves love from familiar,
ity which degrades it, is kept vivid when
we feel that there is mystery in those
we love which comes of depth of charac-
ter. Remember that in violating your
own reserve, or that of another, you de-
stroy that sensitiveness of character
which makes so much of the beauty of
character and beauty of character is
not so common as to make it cruel
thing to spoil it.-Rev. StoPford A,
Brooks.

Sometime in April huge bear was

ORIENTAL JUsTIcE.-A poor Turkish
slater of Constantinople, being at work
on the roof of a house, lost his footing
and fell into the narrow street upon a
man who CHANGED to be passing at the
time. The pedestrian was killed by the
conclusion, while the slater escaped
without material injury.
A son of the deceased caused the slat-
er to be arrested and taken before the
oadi, where he made the most grave
charge and claimed ample redress.
The cadi listened attentiyely, and in
the end asked the slater what he had 10
say in his defence.
Dispenser of justice" answered the
accused, in humble mood, cit is even as
this man says; but God forbid that there
should be evil in my heart. l am poor
man and know not how to make amends. .
The son Of the man who had been
killed thereupon demanded that eondirp
punishment should be inflicted upon the
accused.
The cadi meditated a few moment:
and finally said:
I" 1t shall be SO"
Then to the other he continued
Thou shalt stand in the street where
the father of this man stood when thou
didst fall upon him."

OLD CHURCHILL.-Some, and they
are not few, can remember old Churchill
and his peculiar ways. One day he was
riding on horseback, when he was met
by an old woman who had not so many
of this worlds good things as he had.
Taking out his wallet, he handed her a
quarter, and rode on. He had ridden
only short distance, when he began to
soliliquize thus:
Now wouldn't have done better to
have kept that money and bought my
self something ?"
Wheeling his horse around, he rode
back to where the old lady was standing,
and said
"Give me that money!"
She handed it to him, wondering what
he meant. Placing it in his wallet, and
at the same time handing her five dol
lar bill, he exclaimed:
There, Self, l guess you'll wish you'd
kept still !"

A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENT ON SOUND.
The following beautiful experiment.
described by Prof. Tyndall, shows how
music may be transmitted by an ordina.
ry wooden rod. In room two floors
beneath his lecture room there was a
piano upon which an artist was playing,
but the audience could not hear it. A
rod of deal. with its lower end resting
on the sounding-board of the piano, ex.
tending upward through the two floors,
Its upper end being exposed before the
lecture table. But still no sound was
heard. A violin was then placed upon
the end of the rod which was thrown
into resonance by the ascending thrills.
and instantly the music of the piano
was given out in the lecture room. A
guitar and harp were substituted for the
violin, and with the same result. The
vibrations OF the piano strings were COM
municated to the sounding-board, they
traversed the long rod, were reproduced
by the resonant bodies above, the air
was carved into waves and the whole
musical composition was delivered to
the listening audience.
