make an exception, | stipulate the
time for its return, as | am firm be-
lever in what is worth borrowing Is
worth returning. In the second place.
| keep All account of the books loan,
to whom and when. In the third
place. when need to use book loaned,
or when think it has been out long
enough to be read, | send for 1t
whether the borrower be friend, neigh
Dor, or acquaintance. In the fourth
place, | always intend to cover with
paper a book | lend, though | believe
a careful borrower should do this II
the book is taken uncovered. AS to
fine bindings, | am more chary about
loaning, my decision depending upon
the borrower, and my opinion OF hlm
or her.
d" seldom have lost book by lend
ing. If the borrower dislikes being
reminded OF his delinquency in keep
ing the book an unnecessarily long
time, or Of my (the owner needing
the same, perhaps he will not soon
again borrow, which decision on DIS
part suits me exactly, if my experience
with him shows his principles. >

Mr.. Erskine was an idler that sum

pleasant town Of BucrthOrpe. Just
up from "A typhoid fever, the doctor
had ordered him to take his ease and
forget business. Mr.. Erskine was Il
single gentleman IA fact that Brier-
thorpe WAS not slow to discover He
was not without means the Cos
sips further vOuchsaled. and he pos
scssed a fine figure and COmely coun-
tenance, with manners SO genial and
polished as to be irresistible. Nat
urally the FIRST families Were anxious
TO make the acquaintance of Il gentle
man So attractive, especially as young
men were not abundant, and the sup
ply of marriageahle daughters greater
than the demand. But they were
anxious TO show him the ciyilities due

of course not with the remotest idea,

or Ruth Ellen at his very promising

Il mind TO do, that they speedily ac-
complished, The Misses Ilardacre,
having gone out To row in a leaky
boat, managed % come 10 grief one
afternoon in Mr.. ErSkiuc'S uclghbor-

a sharp tooth of the hidden rocks,
threatened to capSi2e. He took them
into his own craft, palpitating with
pleasure at the success OF their strata

tide to the border of the paternal
acres. The young ladies were rem
dcred fluent 10y the emotion called
gratitude. Papa would be SO glad
,o make the gentleman acquaintance;
their prcSeryer would always he re-
membercd. would he give them his
card and address, that papa might
call and thank him. and SO forth and
SO on.
Mr. Erskine was not sorry that a
romantic episode had arrived 60 vary
the mouurouy OF his retirement. The
young ladies were pretty and spoke
with the accent of cultivated people,
and wore the fashions Of good society ,
and he was waxing more or less weary
of books and the middle-aggi modluc-
rity MS clearinghouse. Tie felt "a
natural craving for society. Pore
