After Nineteen Years.

Nineteen years ago a female infaD,
was left with an old Irish woman In
boston by its young parents, who
boarded with her, supposedly under
an assumed name. The only clew to
them was a handkerchief bearing
initials, which was the ohild's effects,

she was taken to an oculist, who re-
marked upon the singularity of the
case, and said that he had operated
only upon one other similar case in
the course of his practice and that was
upon the eye of wealthy ladv in n
city near Boston. Here was the lonC-
hidden clew to the child's identitT
The person who took the little oiri to
the occulist reported what the doctor
ha9 said. An attorney was called in,
and 1t was, in the process of a long in
vestigation, developed that the name
upon the handkerchief was the name
OF the manufacturers wife and the
girls mother. VIZ

pies an equal position with the man .
In the outside world her rights are
generally recognized. Schools and
colleges are thrown open to her and
every educational advantage is accord

professions and in many trades

Loves Aspects.

Ovid remarks that tears are nv rc
means unserViceable in love becausf
by tears you may touch a heart ~
stone. He, therefore, advises tbe love,
20 eIueaVor that his mistress should
ma MIN with his cheeks bathed in
Years and he adds that if you are NOT
quite equal to the shedding of genuine
Tears, you may bathe your ewes and
cneeks by other means. But Ovid Is
dlscoursing on the art of love. and
What we are at present CONSIDERING are
Uhe true marks Of genuine passion.
There are, no doubt, few matters in
which there has been, since the world
began, so much Discrimination and
hypocrisy as in love affairs. and Ovid,s
artful suggestions recall the Drofane
observation Of a cynical writer. that
Love consists of a little signing, a lit
Tie crying, little dying-and a deal of
! lying" Ii IS not our present purpose
however, to enter into the false in love
OF the spurious impersOnations which
sUalK about in his name. Let it suffice
10 say that Ovid's crafty advice is
founded on the fact that true love ie
often fearful and desponding. II NAV
not be as Silvius puts it. "Ail siobs and
IGears' but even the most sanguine
love may have its moments of sadness
ana doubt. Love, says one of the
poets:
g Love though most sure
Yet always to itself seems INSECURE"
And Scott declares that "T,ovo :
loveliest when embalmed in taors ;;
An0ther poet argues that unless YOU
quake and are struck dumb when YOUR
mistress enters the room, you have
loyed amlss and must begin anew.
but II love is sometimes downcast
and fearful, it just as often scars aIoft
on the pinions of hope, for "Iove can

Lovers are proverbially blind to
each others shortcomings and tbeir
