WHY the Guest, Abstained.

Bishop Uttertor's mother was a re-
markable woman and inherited much of
the vivacity Of her father, When she
and her husbandswere at Gibraltar dur
ing the peninsular war, the latter was
known to be. particular about his shaw
ing water. From his friend, the Spanish
governor Of Algeciras, he received the
sympathetic present of some dozens of
rainwater in bottles, which the butler,
thinking 1t to be wine, duly took charge
Of.
Some time afterward the colonel gave
adinner party, but at the last moment
was called off by official duty, and
brother officer was asked to take his
place at the table. In due course the
hock was handed round, but it was OBJ
served that the guests were singuiarly
abstemious in regard to it. The explana-
ton was discovered when they had de-
parted. The well stored and savory

And Joy for the days and years. -.

Atime and Q place for tears
Weary of revel and riot, ~
Sick of the worldly strife,
Cometh the peace-thc quiet
That quickens the founts of life.

With Joys that are bitter sweet,
And the soul which for rest had panted
Falls down at the Masters feet.

And love at the best seems loss
What help is there then but only
To cling to the crimson CROSSE
To cling to the cross that blossoms
With blood for the erripg shed;
On the tenderest Of tender bosoms
To pillow the weary bead;
To feel tho love that IL glowing
From the heart that, is quick to beat
With even the harsh nails going
In tho beautiful SCARED white feet.

The Future of Greece.

1t is impossible TO have intercourse
with modern Greeks without being
touched with some degree Of the enthu-
siasm which inspires them in discussing
the future of their country, or without
sharing the confidence with which they
approach it. 1t may be true that the
people are of hybrid race, that little of
the old Hellenic blood flows in their
veins, but few European nations of note,
our own perhaps least of all, can boast
unmixed descent. There is. that in the
air this people breathe, in the language
they speak, the land they live in, which
is of the very spirit of liberty.
One meeting a countryman on the road
accosts him as ''patriote, " term of more
significance, of larger meaning than
''citizen." But they are people deeply
democratic and require gentle handling
to steer liberty clear of the shoals of L.
cense. Murmurings against the growth
of taxation are already heard, and the
extraordinary activity of the press in
sures the publicity of every unpopular
act OF the administration Blackwood's
Magazine. - -. - ~

Astrology seems to be gaining in pop
ularity, and many are turning to it for
pointers concerning the fate that is in
store for them. Meteorologists are con-
sulting the planets in relation to changes
in the weather, and scientists are seri-
ously discussing the probability, or even
possibility, Of the larger planets exert
ing an influence on the earth sufficient
to affect conditions of life or health.
Astronomers do not believe in astrol-
ogy, but are willing to give the unique
science credit for assisting to develop
the science of astronomy. Long before
there was an interest taken in astronomy
there were many careful observers of
the heavenly bodies. The names chosen
by these men for stars and consultations
remain unchanged.-Edgar Lee in Arena.
