never approach me again upon a subject
which can only add one more pang to
the sorrow that through you'll must
say it, though it wound you-must for
ever bar the entrance of happiness into
my heart"
There was moments pause, then n
mans troubled voice breaks it.
"And it was my hand that wrought
YOU this sulleringP Though he whom
wounded recovered from his hurt, and
my hand is free from the blood of a fell
low-bcing | have slain a soul! Cousin
Violet, forgive me if you can-I can
never forgive myself. "
There was sound of retreatino foot
steps, and of n woman's sob; then, I'M
able to control longer the emotions that
impelled him, deserving his friend, and
climbing with agile quickness up the
supports of the balcony, Carol Danton
stood before the wife he had lost but
never ceased to love, despite the tor
turing doubts that had embittered tho
last dark years.
"My wife, he cries; my injured
Violet! 1t is your husband, not dead,
but alive and beside you, who has heard
your eXoneration from your own lips.
Do you not know me? DO not shrink
from me. 1t is indeed your Carol,
asking upon his knees for pardon for
the sorrow he has caused you to
suffer-"
The cry Is full Of an unutterable, ag-
onized longing, and as Violet hears
and feels herself gathered into close
embrace that proves beyond mistake
the life and well-being of the husband
she had deemed dead, happiness once
more springs back to the throne to
which it has been stranger for SO long
and dreary while.
And thus Mark Blair learns the Sc
cret of his friends sadness, and feels
no small qualification at his own share
in the blissful reconciliation.

An Arden correspondent of JO1rnQL
deS DcbatS gives flattcring account of
Obock and the taking possession of it
by the French. 1t is but ten hours
voyage from Alden, and is described as
having an excellent natural harbor,
with two anchorage grounds having
depth at low tide varying from ten TO
thirty meters and it is protected BY
cliffs from north and west winds. In
this harbor French ships of war and of
commerce will find the refuge and the
revictualing that they have hitherto
had to seek at Alden. The territory
which has been ceded apparently by
the most conciliatory OF sheiks, is about
one hundred kilometers in length by
thirty kilometers in breadth. Again
French moderation is in the ascendant;
for the amiable sheik Of Aoussa and the
chiefs who were with him said to the
officers of the Infernet: "Why fix any
limits? Pray take the whole. We are
entirely yours. l." Whether the officers
thought this TO be in earnest or wisely
judged it mere ancient Oriental
formula, they did not abuse these
good feelings Nor did they concede
the shiek's request TO be allowed to put
himself under n French protectorate
On the contrary, they have now to treat
with him about the roads to Shoa. AT
present at every we'll on these roads
eXorbitant exactions are levied on the
caravans. The French are now to
prove the depth of the sheik's good
feelings by trying to induce him TO
cede all his rights to these tolls, etc,
and to accept for them moderate
fixed tribute per man and per camel
for the whole way. For the moment
they are very self-satistied in their
sense of moderation. They believe
that the English are very indignant
about this modest acquisition of
theirs, and, in response, they contrast
its small proportions with the large
acquisitions which England us about
to make" in Egypt, "under color Of
defending the rights of that country"

surprised to see a large and apparently
tame gray squirrel hasten across the street

rcIship was closely followed by flock of
sparrows. the majority OF whom took Il
position opposite the door. So as To cut OFF

feet from the sidewalk and near to the en-
trance. The squirrel made frantic Efforts

beat retreat, but the sparrOwS forced him
from the sidewalk and he sought an en-

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.


Beautiful faces are those that wear
II matters little if dark or fair
Whole-souied honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show
Like crystal panes, where heart-fires glow,
beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true.
Moment by moment the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down loneliest ways, if God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
CeaSeleSs burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness.
Whose hidden fountains few may guess.

Dare to Say No.

Dare to say no when you're tempted TO drink:
Pause for a moment, my boy, and think;
Think ofthe wrecks upon life's ocean tossed.
For answering yes, without counting the cost.
Think of the mother who bore you in pain:
Think of the tears that Will fail like the rain
Think of the heart-ah how cruel the blow
Think Of her love, and at once answer no.
Think of the hopes that are drowned in the bowl.
Think of the danger to body and soul;
Think of the sad lives once as pure as the snow,
Look to them now, and at once answer no.
Think of the manhood with rum tainted breath;
Think how the glass leads to sorrow and death ;
Think ofthe home that now Swallowed with woe,
Might have been heaven had the answer been no.
Think of the lone graves, both unwept and
unknown.
Hiding fair hopes, that were fair al your own
Think of the proud forms. now forever laid low,
That might have been here had they learned 10

Think Ofthe demon that turks in the bowl,
Driving TO ruin both body and soul;
Think of all this as Lies journey you go.
And when you re assailed by the tempter say No.
