FRIENDs.-People who have warm
friends are healthier and happier
than those who have none. a
single real friend is & treasure
worth more than gold or precious
stones. Money can buy many
things good and evil. All the
wealth of a world could not buy a
friend or pay you for the loss Of
one. II have only wanted one
thing to make me happy" Haz-
litt writes, "but wanting that have
wanted everything." And again,
"My heart, shut un in aprison
house Of this rude clay, has never
found, nor will it ever find heart
to speak to-" We are the weakest
of spendthrifts if we let one friend
drop off through inattentioa or
let one push away another or if
we hold aloof from one for petty
jealousy or hcedless Sights or
roughness. Would you throw
away a diamond because Is pricked
you? One good friend is not to
be weighed against thejewels Of
the earth.

curled in indignant sorrow.
"Stop, Leila, or you will deeply
wrong me also. I met this loved
one, as said before, in one of the
sweetest, sunniest wales of our
broad Illinois; wandered with her
hand in hand. for long years. be-.
side the sparkling waters Of my
childhood's homo. First, by her
smile of exquisite sweetness, she
taught my heart that she loved
with unutterable foudness, and
never have l doubted; my trust
in her has ever since been stead
fast and fearless; never has her
eyes looked coldly upon me, and
never will it till the death angel
shall dim it for the long sleep. OFT
in the still hours ofthe night have
l been awakened asif by the gen
tie tanning Of the sleep-god's
wing; and beheld that face, those
eyes gazing upon me with all the
beatific tenderness of a guardian
angel over repcnting prodlgal :;
and q kiss would fall upon my
brow more soothing than the dew
of Hebron. The same gentle
hand has held me along life's
Aowery way, and beside its un-
rufled waters; and if ever my
arm was raised to do deed OF
wrong, or my heart steeled to
conceive it, that gentle, admoni-
tory voice came whispering in my
ear, and stayed the one midway,
and drew the iron from the other.
And l do we'll remember, in my
manhood's ripper years, when deep
sorrow fell upon my soul, and l
fain would have drank oblivion
from tho wine cups's fiery brlm,
that same dark-eyed woman came
and bade me, in the namo of God,
to shun the fatal snare, and twining
her arms around my neck, while
her eyes beamed with loves deep
est inspiration, she poured oil up
on the troubled waters, told me OF
purcr hopes and brighter aims'
and in my ear whispered a golden
word that has outlived all sorrow.
Leila: would you know the name
of my first love? 'Tis my mother !"
"Oh, Paul! III forgive You and
share your love-indeed [ will"
II knew you would, Leila.
Second love is as dear as the first" !"
