The Fatted Calf

From The Youths Companion
The danger in going too much into
detail in talking about subjects with
which n is not very familiar is exem-
pliied in the story Of an English town
bred c%urate, who had consented to do
duty on Sunday for his friend, the rec.
tor of 3 country parish in the Midlands.
The subject of the morning sermon
was the parable of the prodigal son and,
in the hope of impressing upon his
hearers the Joy which the patriarch felt
on the return of his son, as instanced
by his ordering the fatted calf TO be
kil,-d, the young curate felt a pardon
able pride in dwelling upon a subject
which could not fail to be comprehen-
sible to the dullest cowboy in the con-
gregation.
Remember" he said, "this was no
ordinary calf which was to be killed; it
was no common calf or beast suffering
from murrain, no half starved calf slow
ly awaiting death. No; it was not
merely a fatted calf, but" becoming
more expressiye) cit was the fatted calf
which had been priced and loved by
the family for many years.
A sea of wide eyes and Gaping
mouths arrested for a moment the elo-
quence of the ledgling parson, and in
the next moment there was such a
ehuckling and grins and f~uttering of
old heads below as had not been wit
messed, even in the memory of the
sexton, for more than many years"

The Welded Life of Charlotte
Rronte.

Lucy Hooper in Philadelphia Telegraph,
Since l last arrived in Yorkshire I
have heard it generally asserted that
the brief welded life Of Charlotte
Bronte was by no means the roseato
dream of happiness that her biogra-
pliers have described. Mr.. Nicholl APP
pears to have been q harsh, If not posi-
lively unkind husband, and certainly
his actions otter the death of his first
wife prove him TO have been an unlov-
ing one Perhaps il wa better So
that early death with the dim eyes
turned to the bleak moors that the dy-
ing woman loved better than the grand
eurs of London or the loneliness OF
Paris. That strange, morbid nature
was not created for happiness. The
last supremest chance that O woman
ever has afforded heT-namely, that of
coniugal bliss-seems to have failed her.
Fame and glory and the applause of the
world found her Indifferent and unre-
sponsiye. She had outlived the sister
whose nature was so like her own-the
brother that she had idolized in spite
of his shortcomings. What was there
left then to the lonely, unsatished
heart, save the one repcse that may
never be troubled? Yet TO how many
of us would not her life have appeared
one OF unspeakable happiness? To
have written Jane Eyre--to have been
received as one of the greatest authors
Of the day-to have been welcomed as
a sister by Thackeray-to a healthy APP
p~reciative nature such a destiny would
have seemed resplendent with the
choicest gifts Of heaven.

Post Official recently, "if you could
know how frequently stamps are used q

is the most surprising thing about it is
there is no profit for a person using a

more than two cents worth of applica-

but the loss to the Government is very
considerable. / wouId be content to

A Rlushing Chinese Bride.

A wedding in high lie was on the taps,
and a crowd Of 400 n 500 Cinnamon

When the girl started down the narrow
stairs, in charge of an old woman, the
curious heathens made a rush for the
doorway, and when she appeared upon
the sidewalk, with her blushing face hid
behind a fan, the excitement became so
intense that the services Of the police
man were necessary to clear q way TO
the carriage. Every face in the surg

pensiye, costing not less than 500 or
$3.50. But there is a iady's watch,
about AN inch in diameter, made in
Switzerland, that can be sold as low as
s13. Unless q man cares to pay $3.50
for a Jergessen chronometer, he can
buy q good watch Cor all ordinary pur-
poses fer 800 in America as q mar

as low Of SO. The price Of watches

Watches that sold for S35 a few years

This only applies to the cheaper grades
of watches. The finer grades could be
sold cheaper than they are now, and
vet at a profit for tho manufacturer.
