eyes, long ago fifteen years and more.'
ssPapa was rich then-at least, he was much
better off than he was afterwards; have
heard mamma say So" said Sophy, slowly.
''Is it very large debt, Mr.. Erskine ?"
This was the question he had been dreading.
ut is pretty large" he answered, reluctantly.
s'Please tell me how much.''
s'But possibly it may not have to be paid.
The document may not be genuine; at least, a
lawyer must look into the case," he replied,
evading the last question:
''But how much is it :"
Give thousand dollars"
Sophy was silent. 1t sounded to her like
an enormous sum. In her heart she did not
believe that they were worth so much in the
world but she would not say so. MIR. Ers-
kline, however, read her CONSERVATION in her
face.
"I wouldn't trouble myself about it, if l
were you," he gently said.
II think I won't tell mamma, just yet-un-
less it will have to be paid Immediately ?"
she added inquiringly.
sin any case, 1 would not tell her yet. l
am only sorry it should have come to your
knowledge. You are tooyoung to be troubled
with business matters"
"Oh, don't feel young. feel old, now,' y
she said, with quiet sadness that touched
his heart II only want to keep anxiety and
care away from mamma, if can."
"Wel, if she makes inquiry, you can tell
merely that this is matter which will have
investigated, provided she gives me authority,
and that nothing positive can be known about
it until do. Tell her even that think there
is nothing in it,
s'But do you ?" asked Sophy, reading his
face with her large, wistful eyes.
II think it very possible that the note may
prove fraud. Can you refer me to any law
yer, or other person, in town, who is acquaint-
ed with your fathers business affairs %
Sophy reflected. ''I know Mr.. Goodwin
has done business for him but he used to at
tend to nearly everything himself"
''And can you tell me the name OF his
banker ?"
eyes, he had money in the East Chatham
bank, think; Mr.. Foster is the President. "
II know him. Well, III ride over to Chat
ham tomorrow, an make some inquiries. Per-
haps shall be able to put this whole thing at
rest without your having any more annoyance
at all about it. At all events, promise me to
keep quite easy, and not torment yourself
with unnecessary anxieties and doubts"
She smiled, and thanked him gratefully for
his kindness but her heart was sore with
dread of the impending trouble. She had
less difficulty than she had anticipated in
keeping the knowledge of the matter from
her mother, whose complete absorption in her
grief seemed to divest her of all interest in
other things. But it was all the harder for
her to have it to bear alone.

ALTAR OF RosEs.-In the warm plains OF
Turkey, south, of the Balkan mountains, whole
districts are covered with rose plants, set in
lines about five feet apart, and tended for some
years with the greatest care. at length, on
some, fresh sweet morning Of early summer,
while the roses are yet wet with dew, the ten,
der flowers are torn off by the laborers, and
cast at once by heaps into huge coppers, there
to boil for hours in clean rain-water. The
fragrant steam is carried along a tube, and on
cooling becomes kind of thick rose-Water;
This is boiled up again, and it's vapor cooled
into liquid on the top Of which foats yel.
lowish, oily scum that is known as ''attar OF
roses.'' It takes about four thousand POUNDS
OF roses to make one pound Of altar. once
a merchant opened cupboard in his stGre' .1re
and showed visitor thirty large glass 6oGties,
in which, he said, was sixty thousand dollaIs
worth of the precious essence. This qua9titgy "
must have taken nearly four million POUNDS 30 Ei
roses in the making. But maybe, after al,
their fragrance in that form would give more
and longer lasting pleasure than could nave Vse
been given by the flowers had they been left
mon their bushes, where they could have
chheered only the passer-by.

The INTENSITY OF ARCTIC CoLD.-The
chronicler of Lieutenant Schwatka's recent
expedition in search of the remains OF Sir
John Frank records some interesting facts
regarding the great cold of the Arctic regions.
Tie lowest temperature met with by. the com
pany was 1O3 degrees below the freezing point,
or seventy-one degrees below zero, Fahrenheit,
a degree of cold almost impossible to imagine
bv the people of more temperate climes. Ihe
effects of such intense cold upon the human
system were not so marked in the case OF the
lieutenant and his companions as might De
supposed, and even during month In Whlch
the average temperature was sixty-h degrees
below zero the health Of the party renamed
unimpaired. The men adapted themselves
as much as possible to the habits OF the ma
tives, feeding largely upon blubber and tat
meat, by which the vital heat was sustained.
Plenty of game was found by adventures,
who were able to secure with their repeating
rides enough reindeer at one time to last them
for several days. The difficulty OF approach
inc these animals was often very great, for
in the still, cold air the step Of man upon
the snow could be heard two miles away, and
the grating Of the sledge runners resounded
like the clashing Of tempered steel.

L1FE's AUTUMN.-Like the leaf, life has its
fading. We often think and speak OF it with
sadness just as we think of the autumn season.
But there should be no sadness at the fading
of life that has done well it's work. We well
come with joy the coming of new Life,
traveller through the uncertainties OF this
worlds ways. Why, then should we be SAD
when all these uncertainties are past and life's
work well done. The spirit seeks it's home in
the city Of our Gcd.
AS the spring is beautiful with its freshness
and promise, so is childhood sweet in its in
nocence and the possibilities that the future
may unfold. But it is holier, rarer beauty
which the waning life of faith and duty wears.
The full, refined harvest suggests no thought
of sadness. It is only when the bud drops,
blighted, or the mildew blasts the grain, and
all hope of rich harvest is gone, that one may
we'll be sad. When the ripened year sinks
amid autumn flowers and brilliant leaves, why
should we regret ? And so life that is ready
and waiting for the "well done'' of God, life
that has truly faded as a leaf and becomes
more brilliantly beautiful as the autumn OF
life draws near-should be given back to God
in uncomplaining reverence and gratitude
that one life has so we'll fulfilled life's purpose.
