Says the New York Observer: We
do not know how many hundred thou
sand times the old adage that GA little
knowledge is a dangerous thing" has
been repeated, but we think it is about
time that some one should give us as
condensed suggestion of the possible
evil effects of great knowledge. 1t is
not at all certain that the wonderful
knowledge achieved in the scientific
world, which enables men to make
such deadly munitions of war as are
now produced, is blessing to man
kind. The London Spectator calls at
tention to the fact that the new ex-
plosive OF anarchism could not have
been created without the diffusion of
chemical knowledge. A burglar can
use chloroform in his nefarious pur-
suit quite as successfully as a surgeon
can relieve pain with it. Much of the
crime of the day is committed by per-
sons of education, whose resources in
that respect aid them in their opera
t;ons. The conclusion to be reached
in the matter is, that knowledge, like
all other good thing, needs to be
sanctifed, in order to be put to the
highest use for the blessing of man.
kind and to prevent its perversion.
knowledge is power for good or
evil. if good then only because of the
existence of something betteF that
holds it by the reins.

There seems a possibility, however,
that even when some fragrant plants

some such plants are free from the at

The DAYS THAT NEVER RETURN

Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats a song that is half sigh,
Like the sound OF leaves when the wind
sweeps by,
Like the sound Of breakers far away,
As they beat and sob,
AS they beat and throb,
fill hear a voice in the distant roar
On that lonely stretch of sandy shore.
Over the strings Of my heart to-day
Floats a song for the dying year,
A song that thrills with an unshed tear
Thro' the winter twilight, cold and gray,
As the breakers sob,
AS the breakers throb,
And hear the voice with its old refrain,
For the days that never come back again
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats a song for my sweet lost youth,
For, oh, l would give in very truth,
Riches and fame and power away
To dream once more
Those bright dreams DER
ut is vain regret" signs that old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats song for the dying year,
Asong that thrills with an unshed fear
Like the sound Of breakers far away
How they beat and sob
How they beat and throb!
And hear that voice with its old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.

detest Celia.
We were SO happy till she came to
stay with Jacks people and told me l
was spelling him. OF course it was
no business of hers if I were, she adj
mitted that; but she was SO fond of
me that she felt she must speak, being
older and more experienced than /,
and lmplore me to remember that it
wasn't only my lover I was spelling,
but my future husband; and if 1 let
him have his own way in everything
now, l should never be able to have
mine by and by when we were mar
ried. She spoke so seriously about it
that couldn't help being a little i'm
pressed, though of course didn't let
her know that, and l wouldn't have
told her for the world that [ intended
to ask her advice on the first oppor-
tunity that offered. For it was one
thing to quarrel privately with Jack,
but quite another to tell Celia that I
was going to do 1t, and take her into
my confidence against him.
So Jack and l quarreled at the
Hornes' dance last night.
I hardly know what it was about in
the first instance, but it grew and
grew until it seemed to me there was
nothing we weren't quarreling about,
and Jack was soon terribly in earnest
Though we had been engaged for three
weeks, I'd no idea he had it in him to
be so angry; and, of course, 1 lost my
head, and got angry, too--really
angry--and said horrld things; and
and--I told HIM our. engagement was
broken off, and there must be an end
of everything between us; and--and--
Jack took me at my word. 1 never
thought of his doing that.

quite quietly all of a sudden, We

engagement to end, Maud? SO be it.
Your letters shall be returned to YOU
tomorrow, and 1 will at once leave
you free to resume your Irritation with
Frank Horne"
"But--Jack-"
His face was set and white. He
never even looked at me. The music
ceased. Celia and several other
dancers strolled into the conservatory
and left me.
Yes, he went away and danced with
other girls; and he never spoke one
word to me or came near me again the
whole evening.
OF course / danced, too--what else
