her here. One day sitting alone in
her own room, this knowledge came to
her. She no longer hated the whole
world, she had 4 sort of feeling of
friendship for it; she even was conscious
of pit,ing her father and brother. With
4 sudden impulse, she arose. put on her
fur wraps. and was just tying her bon
net strings, when Robbie came into the
room and stood beside her.

he had, he even changed the subject.

A sudden flush swept up Miss Shell
iey's face to her very temples. She
hastily drew open one of the drawers,
saying: - You can do so pow. Robbie,
whenever you want to-" and kissing
him goodbye, left him in happy posses
sion. She went downstairs slowly,
drawing on her gloves on the way. She
did not like to admit how this bit of
innocently-imparted news pleased her;
she seemed uncomfortable to see set up
against this kindness the words she
spoke to him that day before she left
her fathers home. She had an indeli-
mite determination of some day apollo
giving. The library was at the foot of
the stairs; as she was passing she
glanced in; he was there alone, stand
ing before the CRATE fire, his back to
the room. The indeliniteness suddenly
resolved itself into definiteness; she
was possessed of purpose, Disagree
able, painful. but she was possessed of
it. She hesitatcd only moment. then

FRIENDSHIP.

II matters not il no more face to face
look thee my friendi Though sweet indeed
To clasp thy hand in mine, there is need,
For perfect friendship knows time nor place.
Heart reaches heart across unmeasured space;
Soul touches soul from ruder contact freed
Ours is one hope life work, and creed;
One destiny the flying moments trace.
The shadow OF thy grief may not depart
Till it has fallen on me-thy delight
Flashes swift radiance over land and sea,
Such friendship is Eden for the heart,
In which il grows TO blossom without blight,
Gives itself wholly and is wholly free.

the gayety and laughter, the shallow jokes and
real witticisms, there came to Mrs Waters the
constantly recurring vision of a patient, pale
faced needle-wOman, whose outstretched hand
seemed to ask, not charity, but for that which was
rghtfully hers, and whose white lips seemed to
say, 'YOu have sinned."

Praise no man too literally before his face, nor
censure him too lavishly behind his back-the

both are reprehensible; the true way to advance

MADAGAsCAR WIDows.-Upon the death of
any man of position or wealth, on the day Of the
funeral the wife is placed in the house dressed i'm
all her best clothes, and covered with her silver
ornaments of which the Sihanaka wear consid-
cradle quantity There she remains until the
rest of the family return home from the tomb.
But as as they enter the house they begin to
revile her with the most abusive lahguage-tell-
ing her that il is her fault that her lCiRi0HU, or
fate, has been stronger than that of her husband,
and that she is virtually the cause of his death.
They then strip her of her clothes, tearing Off
with violence the ornaments from her and
neck and arms. They give her a coarse cloth,
spoon with broken handle, and dish with the
foot broken Off from which 20 eat. Her hair Is
disheve,ed, and she is covered up with coarse
mat. Under that she remains all day lying, and
can leave it only at night and she may not speak
to anyone who goes into the house. She is not
allowed TO wash her face and hands, but only the
tips of her fingers. She enduTes all this some
times for year at least for eight months and
even when that il over her time OF mourning Is not
ended for considerable period for she is not al
lowed TO 90 home to her own relations until she
has been first divorced by her husbands family.
