and horror, and Lillian lay in Edgar's
arms, her head pillowed upon his breast.
The tree had been struck by the electric
fluid and dashed to the ground,

they both escaped tunhurt.

that Edgar sheltered her, and that he
loved her, and that if.she could only
have died then before another claimed
her, she would have been content.
Many eyes were enlightened on that
eventful day. AL day the ladies looked
obviously at Nina, whose saucy laugh

Too Clever.


The boy who is generally spoken of
as being very smart is an object of
commiseration. And this in spite of the
extravagant laudation always his to
command, the envy and despair with
which he is viewed by the indolent and
obtuse, and the general petting he re-
ceives at his home and, perhaps at his
school. That he is clever does not
admit of doubt. Every one owns it,
and none more complacently than
"young hopeful himself; but it does
not follow that it will be good for him.
Unless, indeed, he be subject to very
delicate treatment, we may even say
that the chances are it will be positively
injurious. Such remark requires ex-
planation. First of all, then, it must
be remembered that these early mani,
festatiors of preeocity are seldom long
lived. Like morning mists, they are
exceedingly evanescent The infant
powers. preternaturally developed, too
soon decay. If they are lasting, they
must be gradually developed. Their
growth should be not that of the larch,
but of the oak. To force, as is often
done, the childish intellect to an extent
far beyond its natural powers is not
only an error, but crime, and a
matter that cannot be too strongly in
sisted upon at the present day. OF
course, some children are naturally
more quick and intelligent than others,
and more may not tunreasonablY, there
fore, be expected of them. But what
we would here particularly wish to
guard parents against is, in the case of
clever children, urging them con-
tinually on to greater mental efforts,
often far beyond their powers. and
feeling unduly anxious and disappointed
when others are ''slow." In the latter
case time may develop unthought-of
talents and unexpected ability. Two
brothers were once at school in Edin.

fellows for sharpness and intelligence,
