about them, gathered from the wide ex-

lived with him in GAIA for time, came
one morning, radiant of countenance.
what has happened?" "Oh, my wife
has son" BY night, however, his hap.
piness had turned into sadness. What
has happened?" "Ah, the boy has turned
out to be a grill" His wife's mother had
been so frightened lest he should d.
vorce her daughter for having girl,
that she had pretended 1t was son. In
another case husband anxious to be
the father Of son, solemnly vowed that
he would divorce his wife If she had a
girl. Unfortunately, she had twin
daughters. The poor fellow, however,
really loved his wife, and racked his
brains to get out of his oath. At last he
solved the difficulty. 81 said I would
divorce her If she had daughter, but
not il she had two;" and so he kept her.
How forcibly such incidents remind one
of the words of Jeremiah-"Cursed be
the man who brought tidings to thy ia
ther, saying, A man-child is born unto
thee; making him very glad" or those
of our Lord-"A woman hath sorrow,
but as soon as she is delivered of the

THE OTHER SIDE THE STREET.

But few of us there are who quiet contentedly
abide,
But very few Of us with fate are fully satisfied;
1t seems to us that others get the prizes we
have won,
We're waiting In the shadow while they're

The fields are fairer over there than where our
paths are laid
And quito against our wishes fortune ever is
arrayed
The dull, repulsive faces we are very sure to
meet,
The pretty ones are always on the other side the
street.
The charities that heal and soothe and bless
about us lie,
But all their gracious tenderness is lost upon
the eye.
We do not see the gifts which fortune brings to
us, alas
With envy We are looking at the things our
neighbor has.

Miss Thyrza spent six happy quiet
months abroad. She had always been
great reader of history, and found inf
mite delight in visiting the places of
which she had often read. She travelled
in quiet inexpensive manner from
place to place. No one would have sup
posed that the communicating little
elderly woman, in the perfectly plain
gray dress and cheap straw bonnet, had
several thousand dollars in great belt
around her waist. 'I'm going to carry
plenty of money with me-" she had said
to herself; 'there's no telling what
might happen, and 1 want plenty in
case should lie sick and need doctors
and nurses and all that"
She was not very strong, and her tri I
had been taken partly on the advice Of
her physician. She felt and looked ten
years younger, when one morning, late
in October, she found herself again or
board the steamer bound for home, n
the vigor and happiness of renewed
health and strength.
When the shores of Old England had
been lost to view, Miss Trimpy sat

But Miss Thyrza would and did GO

to the boat each carrying ''trifling
gift" that they hoped might serve to
