CHAPTER Ii,


A man may be learned historian and a
dignitary of the Church, and yet retain a
GOOD deal of that difidence which is more
becoming than common among his juniors.
Cannon Stanwick, for one, carried modesty
almost to the dimensions of vice. He was
very shy of young men; he did not know
what to say to them; he felt convinced
possibly not without reason-that they
must find him an old bore; and how to in
gratiate himself with dashing young cav
airy officer was puzzle beyond the com
pass of his imagination to solve. However,
he had pledged his word that he would do
this, and accordingly, on the day after the
cricket match, he asked few friends to
dinner, and invited Mr.. Annesley to join
the party.
The young man came, and made himself
so agreeable to the old ladies and gentlemen
whom he met that they were delighted with
him, and allowed him to nionopoli2e the
lions share of the conversation, which
thing they would assuredly not have per-
mitted in the case of any ordinary lancer or
hussar; for in Lichbury the church is dis
posed to look trife askaDce at the army,
and to stand upon its dignity with the
representatives of the latter who are over
much given to riot and unseemly pranks.
But about this particular lancer there was
perfect simplicity of thought and Ian
guage, which, combined with touch of
military swagger, was quite irresistible and
so it came to pass that Canon Stanwick's
first dinner party proved the merriest that
had been given in the precinct for many
long day As for the Professor, he began
to feel quasi-fatherly interest in the son
of his former fame; and when the rest of
the guests had departed ventured to detain
him.
'Do you ever-er-smokea cigar before
you 90 to bed ?" he asked, hesitatingly
II should be precious sorry to 60 to bed
without smoking cigar" answered the
other, laughing
ooh, said the Professor. "Well, l have
formed the same habit myself, and if you
had nothing better to do, and cared to keep
me company for half an hour in my study,
I could offer you tolerably good cigar, |
think; and-and | believe you'll find some
soda-water and brandy on the table.
So presently this oddly-matched pair

Mistakes of Life.

Somebody has condensed the mistakes
of life, and arrived at the conclusion that
there are fourteen of them Most people
would say, if they told the truth, that
there was no limit to the mistakes of life +;
that they were like drops in the ocean or
the sands of the shore in number. But it
is well to be accurate. Here, then, are the
fourteen great mistakes:
at is a great mistake to set up our own
standard of right and wrong, and judge
people accordingly; to measure the enjoy
ment of others by our own to expect uni
formity of opinion in this world to look
for judgment and experience in youth to
endeavor to mould all dispositions alike; ;
not to yield to immaterial trifes; to look
for perfection in our own actions to wor-
ry ourselves and others with what cannot
be remedied not to alleviate all that needs
alienation as far as lies in our power not
to make allowances for the infrmities of
Others to consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform; to believe that our
finite minds can grasp; to expect to be
able to understand everything. The great
est mistake of all is to live only for time,
when any moment may launch us into
eternity.

ministers; but before he spoke the fountain
was made to play, and its splash into the
basin rendered his voice unintelligible to
all save the ambassador without; certainly
a careful and ingenious sultan.
The two kiosks are beautiful. One is
furnished with magnificent hangings, rugs
and divans. The embroidery of the divans
is of the most exquisite needlework, and is
in perfect harmony with the other fittings.
The floors are inlaid with hard wood, and
the ceilings are frescoed in excellent taste
This kiosk is in reality but one room, with
projecting balconies, whence the view is
wonderful. The Golden Horn, with its
floating bridges, is to your left; in front are
Pera and Galata; to the right the Bospho-
rus and Scutari But from the other kiosk
the scene is still more delightful There
you have, in addition, Mount Olympus and
the Princes Islands; the Asiatic shore and
the Sea of Marmora, stretching away until
they sink beneath the horizon. There can
hardly be finer picture to look upon. A
hundred feet below you see the gate through
which so many victims have been carried,
those unfaithful ones who were placed in
sacks and thrown into the sea. As you
linger here your thoughts go back to the
Seraglio as it was, you are recalled to the
Turkish sweets as they are You are
given chairs. One servant hands you a
cigarette, another proffers lighted coal;
you smoke and enjoy it, glad of little
rest. Then another gorgeously dressed
man steps up with huge red cushion,
elaborate and rich with embroidery; on it
there is golden tray with crystal jar of
sweet jelly, spoon-holder and spoons, all
of solid gold, and glasses of water. You
eat spoonful of jelly, drink a little water,
and you are then supposed to be refreshed.
Each in his turn takes a fresh spoon, a
fresh glass and little jelly.
Now comes rare experience. Another
of those silent menials comes to the front.
He bears also tray of gold, but serves
coffee. The coffee is in the most delicate
shells, and these in turn are in cups of
solid gold set with diamonds
1t is thus you drink coffee as guests of
the Sultan of Turkey. 1t is novel and in
every way charming. You feel that you
have always been accustomed to just this
style, and the impression still possesses you
as you walk to the shore and sink back
upon the satin cushions of Sultan's caique.
1t is a luxurious dream as the stalwart
Turks in brilliant costume pull you across
the Golden Horn to the palace of Dolma
Bagtche.

NEVER TOO LATE.
BY EAnSEsr MleArrEY.

There is good aud a bad in the wayside inns
on the highways of fourlivcs,
And man can never be free from sins,
No matter how hard he strives;
Yet even when down distinctions grade
Our thorny pathways trend,
In spite ofa thousand errors made,
ut is never too late 10 mend"
There are crosses heavy for men to bear,
And passions to conquer too;
There are joys and woes that each must share
Before the journey is through;
Aut men may be poor for honor's sake,
And truth and right defend,
And hope will never this promise break
"It is never too late to mend.'
'Tis never too late for a noble deed,
For, blessed by the angels tears,
1t plants in the breasts of men seed
That will grow in after years,
Bind words of kindness, of hope and cheer,
win always comfort lend;
We must live for love, and Danish fear,
1T is never too late to mend"
It is never too late TO- omend, my lad,
No matter what people say,
And no mans nature is wholly bad,
Even If old and gray;
And in our journey toward the grave
Until we reach the end,
There is time 70 change and time to save
ut is never too late to mend.''

Figures are wonderful things. Here is
sample of what can be done with them
By placing one grain of corn on the first
square of chess board, doubling the num-
Der of grains for each succeeding square,
the quantity of corn required for the whole
board of sixty-four squares would fill l.
844, ,375 barns, each holding 100000
bushels of 100000 grains each. If the
United States grows 800, 600, 600 bushels
each year, it would require little over $50
years to make enough.

conclude all the inhabitants OF the city had
been attacked with a sudden mania for roll

management will endeavor to accommodate
all who come. Last night a special feature
was q forfeit race, in which Messrs. Charles
Pearson. Charles Sims. Horace Stout and
Harry Butterfeld were the entries, a distance
of two miles. A condition OF the race was
that the slowest skater should wheel the
winner twice around the rink in a gaily dec
Grated rheelbarrow, which feat was per-
formed by Nh. Stout. Mr.. Battlefield being

commendation for their endeavor to please
the patrons of this popular resort with the

continue to be, given.
