BEARING ANorHea's BURDEN.
How Shy. Girl Of II offered Herself as
a Sncrifice for Her Friend.

sacrince Tor Her Friend.
My heroine, whom we will call Margaret,
was a slim, fair girl Of II, shy and retiring to
excess. She lived with young married
couple, Mr.. and Mrs. Field, and was treated
by them as one of the fsmily
One evening Mrs. Field was out driving
with friend, and, as they were passing a
Mrs. Smiths house, n slanderous report that
was current in this neighborhood concerning
this Mrs. Smith came into Mrs Fields mind,
and she carelessly repeated il to her friend in
the ordinary conversational tone. Mrs. Smith
happened to be out in her garden, and, owing
TO the lateness of the hour and to the shrub
berry, she was not seen by the ladies in the
carriage.
She overheard greater part of what they
were saying Boiling with anger, she sent
word early next morning to Mr. Field that
his wife had spread an evil story about her.
and that she intended to have the matter
taken into court
The first thing Margaret heard on coming
from her room that morning was the bitter
sobbing of Mrs. Field. She inquired the
cause and was overwhelmed to learn the dire
full effects that would follow if Mrs Smith
persisted In her determination to take the af-
fair To court, for Mr.. Field was already
heavily IN debt, having got into an extensive
business, and II he were forced TO 90 To law
about this difficulty his prospects might be
ruined
Then this brave little girl came TO the res
cue. As II was late in the evening she said
Mrs. Smith had probably only recognized the
horse and carriage and not Mrs. Field, and
she, Margaret would bear the burden. and
say 1t was she who had uttered the SANDER. IL
the matter should then be carried TO court
there was no one but herself To suffer. and.
although the thought Of staining her fair
reputation was very bitter, she was deter
mined To take the blame upon herself sooner
than see her friends suffer 50 greatly.
At first they would not hear of it, but she
finally succeeded in having her own way, and
then, donning hat, started at once for Mrs
Smiths home. She explained TO that lady
that she and not Mrs Field was the one To
bear the blame, but that she was very sorry.
and that the report should 60 no further as
far a lay In her power 10 prevent it, aud at
last begged that lady % forgive aud forget
And Mrs. Smith did 50, finding It was only
Margaret, instead of Mrs. Field, for whom
she had always entertained violent dislike

Really an ADVANTAGE.

Again the hard hearted historian has laid
violent hands upon the story of the Highland
lassie who. shut up in the walls Of Lucknow,
heard the welcome sound Of the hagpipes Of
the Highland regiment playing The Camp
bells Are Coming" which, he declares, is
founded upon imagination and not upon fact
1t really does not matter much. People
enjoy Hamlet and "Dandie Dinmontn and
''Sam Weller" without bothering themselves
to inquire whether they are founded on fact
or not, and 1t is really an advantage for the
Lucknow lassie to leave the shifting sands Of
history and take up ter abode on the firm
ground Of fiction. Toronto Globe

ROCHESTER, N V, Jan. ia remarka,
BILE aurora was observed here last evening
at seven O'Clock. 1t consisted of vast
circle of white light in this center, near
the zenith and the circumference passing
over the moon. Streamers reached up to
it from the north. The diameter Of the
circle was about seventy-fve de-
grees. AT fifteen minutes to eight O'Clock
similar circle of shorter diameter formed.
1t also passed across the moon. As the
moon rose still higher, another circle
formed of still smaller dimensions, still
passing over the moons center, removing
at zenith The approach of the moon
toward zenith seemed to regulate the size
of the circle. The semi diameter of the
circle was on each occasion the distance
from the zenith to the moon.
