Enchantnaent Or Distance.

To live with people is to dis
cover their faults it ID better,
then, not to live with them. To
come together ID the same village,
town, or city, is the ruin Of some
excellent friendship, which would
have gone on happily during life
with short railway for each visit.
Wee betide certain acquaintance,
whose aspect is mutually pleasant
seen from opposite corners Of the
same street, If they become next
door ueighbors.
No greater mistake can be made
than for persons to suppose that,
because they are friendly with one
another at this or that distance Of
removal, they will become iucreas-
ingly friendly in proportion as
they draw higher. Few Of as can
support with credit too intimate a
frisndship. Numbers Of family
quarrels have risen merely because
the members came together too
often many "a friendship has
ended for ever owing to the par
ties having met everY evening for
week, instead Of interpreting at
east two blank nights.
Aunt Mary may be a charming
visitor at intervals of about three
years if she came each Summer
she worll be iBtOlerabls. You
rather like your brother Johns
children, if you don't 60 there
oftener than once in the three
mouths.
It is all very well to hear talk
about eternal friendships. Some
people can only be intimate and
remain friendly with some other
people for half an hour at . time.
Who has not observed the part
played by time in visits Of somo
length to friends at q distance?
How agreeable somo peFsons arc
on the second day, but they begin
to change before the next Is fully
run out. Some are never quite 20
nice as on the evening Of the fiFst
day /; although these same persons
generally make partial amends by
Frightening up brilliantly during
the last few hours or minutes Of
your stay, and are wholly perfect
1T the moment Of your departure.

been the peoples party striving

Nothing Of this sort, but rather
concessions and compromises,
where an avowed policy, even il iii
had not reclaimed to us our lost
freedom would have at least con-
vinoed our adverssries that they
alone, at the day of reckoning,
would stand convicted Of the mis-
deeds their party has so foully
