from aIar. Two men were III III, one OF
middle age, with but slightly-grizzled
hair; the other old with rime of many
winters on his soanty locks. She knew
him at once-the lover of her youth.
She would have known him anywhere.
But oh! the change. Yet the features
were handsome still, and calm dignity
was on them, that looked like an habit
ual expression. Age, extreme old age,
was there, but in no repellant form.
Only the eyes that had sought her own,
and wrecked her peace of mind so
sorely, would never look again on
maiden, sky, or meadow. Their lids
were dropped so as completely to con-
ceal them; for during many years he
had been stone-blind.
He sat with his face slightly upturned,
as is the manner with blind people, his
hands resting on the head of his staff,
and as she looked down on him, SO fully
visible to her as he was, he turned in
smiled. Do not the old colors of the
regiment, riddled with shot, battered
and stained out of all their carly beauty,
bring to us sigh of loving tribute TO
the glories so present to the spirit, so
little discernible otherwise nowp The
tears rained from the old woman's eyes
as she looked, so changed and yet with
such an ineradicable likeness to the days
of youth was that smile of her former
lover.
The carriage stopped. The younger
gentleman dismounted with some pa
pers, with which he disappeared for a
few minutes into the hotel. The old
man, gay, active, handsome Ernest
Picardy that once had been, sat still,
patiently and calmly, as one who knew
well how t6wait. And who knows that
his heart did not respond with some deep
seated sensation OF peace and fulfilled
desire to the fervent blessing brcathcd
on him from above, by the woman
watching so near-the woman he had
loved so passionately long agop Face
to face they had met at last, although
only one was conscious of that meeting,

A Cold Summer.

DsVoe, the Hackens ack, New Jer.
sey, weather prophet, foretold with re-
markable accuracy the state of the
weather for the first half OF May.
How accurately he will hit 1t for the

weather this year until September.
The prevailing wind will blow from
East to Northeast with cloudy weather
about four days out Of Eve the list of
May, and June will enter cold and
cloudy, followed by thunder showers
on the 8tk. And men who embark

United States Senator Hearst, Of
California, is particularly fond Of
dropping intoSan informal chat with
Washington newspaper men who call
to inquire about some Pacific coast
matter, and when he gets started he
runs on in this way: "IfI had IL to
do over again I wouldn't be rich.
There isn't much satisfaction after
all in being a millionaire. Your
money brings a lot OF people about
you, but / believe you are better of
not knowing them. My idea Of real
enjoyment Is different from this. II
I was starting again I'd 90 West and
have q chicken ranch. I'd locate in
some fertile, well-sheltered valley in
the mountains, get a hundred and
sixty acres and raise chickens. Just
think Of the satisfaction Of getting up
in the morning and going out in the
splendid clear air AMI looking after
the coops. And just think Of sitting
down to q six.weeks old chicken, fried,
with corn bread and coffee. That is
what / cali genuine comfort"
And then the rugged old gold hun.
ter will relapse into silence, wrapt in
contemplation Of his ideal life.

Personal Influence.

Upon the higher Alps, the snow is
sometimes piled SO high and evenly
balanced that the crack of a whip, tr
the shout Of a voice, may give suffi-
cient vibration to the air to bring down
the whole mass upon the travellers
below.
So in our moral world, there are
souls just lowering over the abyss of
ruin; a word, or even q look from us,
may cause them plunge down into
the depths from which there is 10 re.
turn or helping hand stretched out
to them in the moment of peril may
lead them back to the safe, pure paths
oi virtue.
sKnowing that we have such power,
shall we not humbly pray, LEAD us
not into temptatian, but deliver us
fromsevil ?"
