confidently of the future life that they

A flood of feeling overwhelmed her;
she was worshiping and giving thanks
in her tears and silence. And Michael
by her side stood perfectly unmoved,
wishing that they had not come.

OF the book. 4. It's unreasonable SUI.

she might otherwise have seen and

posies to the shepherds guests; or per-
haps of Nydia, the blind fiower-girl of
Pompeii, weaving her chaplets in tho
Thessalian fashion; or of those heaven
ly flowers which st. Dorothea sent to
Theophilus after her martyrdom. And
all the while the roar of the great
world was going on, and the endless
procession went sweeping along pala-
tial Regent street, while one quiet
maiden dreamed her dreams and wove
her garlands in peace.
She did not forget Lucy Cromer, that
dear friend who had once sat in this
very place, busy with the same dainty
work that she was doing now. Little
as Olive knew of Lucy's story, she had
guessed at some of its details, and felt
that weary, passionate heart had
throbbed over the flowers in those DAYS.
Why had life been made so bitter to
Lucy. and so sweet TO Olive herself?
Why had the one been taken and the
other left? This bright girl, young and
undismayed, thought pityingly of her
who had leant upon broken reed, and
rejoiced proudly in the trusty staff that
supported her own footsteps. The time
of loneliness and desertion was nigh at

PROPERTY VALUATION.

from SIC, ,y02, ,993, ,543 in 1850 to S24 651 ,50S,-

of 81, ,74S. .59l, ,922, or 45.S4 per cent. Should
the same relation be found to exist be-
tween the assessed valuation in 1890 and
the valuation as existed in 1880, the
