great crime. He believed that at the time
she had attempted to commitit, she had been
the victim of temporary madness, which
she had been unable to resist or escape from
and that if her life should be spared, the day
would still come when repentance and re
morse would soften her heart and atone for the
past. In his dreams he even pictured to him

between them, when full forgiveness should be
asked and accorded. and all the dark by.gone

Weakness, this, you will say-childish, in
conceivable weakness and folly! Perhaps it
was-certainly there must be few in whose
breasts such profound love and generosity can
exist. But that such was the condition of
Sir Roland's mind was an undoubted fact.
This desire and hope Of reconciliation was
the one supreme, engrossing object of his
thoughts. TO be near her who had wfonged
him, whose cruel hand, in its womanly slight.

strive for his destruction, he had stayed con

lead hermit life, within four narrow walls,
to seeking refuge in some distant land where
discovery could not follow him. Here he
could breathe the air she breathed could re-.
ceive tidings of her daily welfare, brought to
him by the reluctant Priscilla, who would
fain have torn her image from his mind. One

A REMARKABLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT
An almost incredible explanation was given
of the cause of an accident to the Scotch ex.
press, near Leicester, England. 1t is said
that the train was stopped a little beyond the
town Of Kibworth, the engineer thinking
somethin,. was the matter with his engine.
Examination showed the locomotive to be
all right, and the engineer again applied
steam, BIT instead Of running forward the
train was backed, and the engineer did not
notice the change Of direction until the train
had returned to Kibworth station, where it
ran into freight train, but not before the
engineer had applied the Westinghouse brake,
and so prevented more damage than the
smashing of two cars and the wounding OF
four or five passengers. The engineer was
suspended but it appeared from investigation
that none of the train hands knew they were
going backward instead Of forward until it
was too late to avert an accident. 1t was
stated by way of explanation that the night
of the accident was very dark.

The ADVENT OF TEA.-Queer stories are
told of the advent of tea in the fashionable
market. The ignorance Of its preparation
was illimitable, and fine ladies, determined to
tread closely on the heels of fashion, were
compelled to take lessons in the art of brew
ing it. One lady, before consenting to be-.
come candidate for culinary honors, boiled
several pounds and served it as vegetable.
Another, equally stupid, set. forth her table
with it as dried fruit, and naturally failed
to relish it. At the tea parties in the seven
teenth century, the leaves from which the
tea had been drawn were handed round to
be eaten, as a great delicacy, with bread and
butter. To refuse was to affront the giver in
this odd entertainment, and to stamp oneself
an "outer barbarian" in the realms Of gen.
tility. Not so very long ago it was the gen.
eral custom to carry to New England tea
parties ones own cup or tea.dish. The lat
ter curious vessel-from eight to ten inches
square and an inch deep gave rise to the
phrase "a dish of tea."

pg A lady of his flock once called upon
Dr. Gill with a grievance. The Doctors
neck kbands were too long for her idea CT min
isterial humility, and after long harang,ue
on the sin of pride, she intimated that she
had brought her scissors with her and would
be pleased if her dear pastor would allow her
to clip them down to her notion of propriety.
The doctor not only listened patiently to her
lecture, but handed her over the offending
white bands for her to operate upon. When
she had cut them to her satisfaction and re-
turned the bibs, it was the doctors turn.
"Now," said he, "my good sister, you must
do me good turn also" "Yes, that I will,
Doctor; what can it be?" "Well, you have
something about you which is deal too long
and causes me no end of trouble, and l should
like to see it shorter" "Indeed, dear sir, l
will not hesitate; what is it? Here are the
scissors, use them as you please" "Come,
then," said the sturdy divine, "good sister,
put out your tongue"

FAITH AND PLUCK.-At certain Sab.
bath school, not long since, the old clergyman
of the parish, in visiting the different classes,
came to class of four and fve.year olds be-
fore whom the question of faith had just come
up, and he thou ght to illustrate the subject
to the little ones by telling to them the story
of the child who was called to jump into the
fathers arms, in the dark.
"The father was in a dark cellar, while
his little daughter, only three years old, stood
upon the edge of an open scuttle, or hatch
way, in the floor. She could hear her IA
theirs voice very plainly, but could not see
him. "Come, my child" the father called,
"iump right down. will catch you in my
arms. Be not afraid. 1t is your father who
calls"
Now, the little child could see nothing be-
low but utter darkness; nevertheless, she
trusted her dear fathers voice, and jumped
jumped boldly down into the darkness, and
was safely caught into her fathers arms.
"Now, think of it," said the aged clergy.
man. "Was it not beautiful illustration of
| faith ?"
He saw one little, bright faced boy shake
his head.
"Well, Johnny, what do you think Of it :?
Do you think it required a great deal of faith
on the part of that little girl to make that
leap in the dark 2"'
"Well-I dono; but she must a had lots o
pluck, anyhow"
Evidently the old pastor had gained new
idea, and one which he could not dispute

BAD MaNNERs.-It is bad manners, and
it shows a lack of sense to talk in loud tone
of voice, in public conveyance, about ones
purely personal affairs. On street car or
on railway train the passengers are often
called to hear some persons who might
otherwise pass for well bred gentleman or
lady-tell of his or her doings. Of the day,
and plans for the future, in tones that pene.
trate to every portion Of the conveyance, and
must be listened to. Private and household
matters are shouted into all ears. Facts that
might be given with propriety to an intimate
acquaintance, but which the public have no
business with, are bruited abroad and COM
monty more or less of gossip is included
which ought not to have been given any
where. This is bad manners, in that it forces
the speaker unpleasantly on the attention OF
the other passengers, and practically monopo'
Lies the listening powers of all also, in that
it makes public much that an innate modes
ty would shrink from disclosing to every ear.

LET THEM ALoNE-Never try to rob any
one of his good opinion Of himself. 1t is the
most cruel thing you can do. Moreover, it
is by no means doing what you would be
done by. Crush woman's selfesteem, and
you make her cross grained and snappish.
Do the same to a man, and you only make
him morose. You may mean to create a
sweet humble creature, but you'll never do it.
The people who think best of themselves are
apt to be best. Women grow pretty in be-
lieving they are so, and fine qualities often
crop out after one has been told she has
them. It only grati6es momentary spite to
force your own unfavorable opinion Of him
deep into anothers mind. 1t never did any
good. All if this world, full Of ugly people,
Of silly and vain people, knew their own de:
6ciencies, what sitting in sackcloth and
ashes we should have! The greatest Of all
things that man can possess is satisfactory
identity. If that which he calls 81" please
him, it is we'll with him otherwise he is ut
terly wretched. Let your fellow.beings
alone; hold no truthful mirrors before their
eyes, unless with pure intention to uproot
sin. So may a mirror without flaw never
be prepared for you. In those things which
we cannot help, may we ever be blind to our
own shortcomings. We are neither ugly, no.
awkward, nor uninteresting to ourselves if we
do not know it. A fool may have the wis
dom of Solomon in his own conceit. Let
him be, and the path to the grave will be
easier for him to tread; you will be worse,
he no better. Leave every man as much
selfesteem as his conscience will allow him to
cherish 1t may be pleasure to enlighten
people as to their faults of mind and person,
but it is certainly not duty.

WORDS OF W1sDoM-You should never
give advice. If the person to whom you offer
it is wise he doesn't need it; if he isn't he
won't take it.
No man can be brave who considers pain
to be the greatest evil of life; nor temperate,
whe considers pleasures to be the highest
good.
The passions of men Of society differ as
much from the passions Of the natural man as
the fruits of the grated tree from those OF
a wild one.
The keenest abuse of our enemies will not
hurt us SO much in the estimation of the dis
cerning as the injudicious praise Of our friends.
Sense can support herself handsomely in
most countries for some eighteen pence a
day; but fantasy, planets and solar systems
will not suffer.
A man should never be ashamed to own
he has been in the wrong; which is but say
ing, in other words that he is wiser to-day
than he was yesterday.
Don't covet the possessions of any man
until you are willing to pay for them the
price which he paid then you will not need
to covet them, for you can 60 and get them
for yourself

p9- Hogarth, the great painter, was once
applied to by certain nobleman to paint on
his staircase representation of the destruc-
tion of Pharaoh's host in the Red Sea. In
attempting to fix upon the price Hogarth be.
came disgusted with the miserly conduct Of
his patron, who was unwilling to give more
than half the real value of the picture. At
last, out of all patience, he agreed to his
terms. The nobleman was soon told that the
work was finished. Surprised at such expe-
dition, he Immediately called to examine it,
and found the space painted all over red.
"Zounds !' said the purchaser, "what have
you herep 1 ordered scene Of the Red
Sea-" "The Red Sea you have" said the
painter. "But where are the lsraelites ?"
"They have all gone over" "And where are
the Egyptians?" "They are all drowned"
The miser's confusion could only be equaled
by the haste with which he paid his bill.

SHANT BITE ME.-There was fellow IN
certain neighborhood in Arkansas, who was
strongly suspected of sheep stealing. There
were good many cases of the mysterious
disappearance of choice mutton from the
flocks of the planters which were traced to
his door; but, being very wild and inge-
NOUS chap, he generally succeeded in prov
ing an alibi, or some other defence which
reduced the charge to mere suspicion. At
last, however, planter riding through the
woods, observed him in the vicinity Of lot
of sheep. The fellow, after looking around to
see that no one was near, walked up and
deliberately knocked over the largest and
fattest.
At this moment the planter rode up, and
confronting the thief, exclaimed:
"Now sir, have got you! You can't get
off you are caught in the act"
"What act?" Indignantly inquired the
thief.
"Sheep stealing p was the confident reply.
"Sir, you had better mind how you charge
a respectable American citizen of such 9
crime as sheep stealing!' replied the gentle
man with the penchant for mutton.
"Now, will you deny that l saw you kill
that sheep?"
"No, sir" was the prompt answer II did
kill him, aud I'd do it again. I'll kill any.
