One afternoon Mrs. BIackie and
the writer, sitting on O garden seat,
noted weary wayfarer with dusty
boots open the little gate and climb
up tho footpath. He wore q soft
wideawake and gray clothes, and
displayed no badge Of saintship or
lantern Of philosophy. "A dominic
for pro-, said Mrs. Blackis. The
professors voice was ringing ont
from tho open window Of his turret
study, laden with soft Gaelic gut
turals. It ceased, and the dominic
stood under the porch. A few min.
utes passed. and Bella came flying
to the garden seat. Please, mum,
it's Mr.. Herbert Spencer in the draw
ing room, and the professor is not to
be found. He had closed his book
and gone'by the back door to breathe
on the sublime heights" before din
ner.
Trembling with responsibility, we
faced the illustrious visitor, who re-
stored our composure by abusing the
highlands, libeling the innkeepers
and accusing our sex of bribing por.
tors with threepenny bits, and so
comprising every railway disaster
ever recorded. With some indigna-
ton we flung our gauntlet In the
face of the father of modern phi
losophy, and it is to pc feared that
he fed from such unwonted treat
ment. This has been very stormy
interview" he said, and took his
leave. And just afterward, return
ing from his walk, the professor
missed his visit" Stuart
Blackie," by A. NJ. Stoddard.

The Blgres. American Diamond.

Diamonds have been found occa-
sionally at different places in the
United States, but never in sufficient
quantities to render systematic mi
ming profitable.
The largest authenticated diamond
ever found in this country was pick
ed up by laborer engaged in grad
ing the streets of Manchester, Va.
It's original weight was about "a
carats, and, after cutting, q ~ carat
stone resulted. On this stone, called
by Captain Dewey. its owner, the
Oninoor, there was once loaned 81, =
200, but Mr.. Kunz, the diamond ex-
pert, appraised its value at less than
81, 900, as it is poorly colored and
imperfect.
In tho matter of diamonds Yam
kee land ut all events does not lick
creation. New York Journal

IN THE Successfully in the
present century, in 1905, my father
and mother were enjoying their
honeymoon in the country. My
father was %, his bride only 90.
One day in their wanderings they
came to the village stocks. He sat
down on the bench, just to try how
it felt, and placed his feet in the
semicircular holes; she in girlish
fun shut down the top board, when,
to her horror, she found that it
closed with q spring and that she
had made her husband fast in the
stocks. She had no idea to whom
to apply to undo the spring; she
had to leave her beloved one and
run to the village in search of a
rescuer. We can scarcely, in these
days, imagine the difficulties that
lay in her way. Amy villager she
met would receive her tale with
jeers instead of sympathy, and then
hasten to the spot to gaze on the
unhappy occupier of the place Of
punishment. The bride was a very
pretty girl. with softest nut brown
eyes, and in her white embroidered
gown and straw hat with simple
ribbons she must have looked little
like the wife of a vagrant. | do
not know how she Jared in her quest
of the person who kept the key Of
the stocks, but at last she found
the right man, probably the village
constable, and persuaded him to
come to her aid. He tried her pa
thence greatly as he hobbled along,
grumbling at the trouble she was
giving him, and at last, when she
came in sight of her husband, she
found that some Of the villagers had
assembled there, delighted to see a
gentleman in the stocks, aud imag-
lining, or pretending to imagine,
that he had been placed there for
poaching or robbing the squire's
henroost, or stealing q ''turmit."
Luckily there were no rotten eggs
at hand to destroy the beauty of the
blue coat with its large gold but
tons, or the shirt front with its
broad plated frill. At length the
old constable contrived to turn the
cruel lock, and the victim was free.

bowel trouble. Our Doctors re-
NEEDLES failed, then we tried Cham

A clown makes q poor comforter
when the shades Of the souls win
dows are down and the death rib
bons hang on the door bell. Mer-
riment has it's place in the world,
but there are times when il should
avoid the house of mourning, for
it could not be an appropriate or
welcome guest. For my own part,

cisms Of my chums. never could
appreciate the wit of the man who
jokes about hitting the nail on the
head jus. when the hammer has hit
my finger nail instead of the carpet
tack. There are times when a
groan is a relief TO the Utmost soul
and demanded by good aesthetic
taste. At such o time a lively
common metre tune, even though
set to q religious sentiment, would
seem levity, IL not sacrilege.
Tears befit some situations better
than laughter. | am not preach

you would all want to go. but neith-
er a minstrel show nor a cage of
performing monkeys has any at
traction for man who is weighed
down with a load of new-mown
grief. Poetry and puns have their
place even in a philosophers re-
pertoire, but there are times when
the Dead March in Saul or a
few eloquent flashes Of silence har-
monize with ones circumstances a
good deal better than the noise of
q brass band even though it dis
pense the familiar music of Annie
Rooney. Happy for us men is it
that there are true and noble souls
who know how to adapt themselves
to our merry moments, and to our
profound experiences OF grief, with
equal facility. Choice souls are
these who play wedding when we
suggest marriage, who dance when
we pipe, who play funeral when we
strike up dirge. Ihave my moods

and sometimes l like companion

men in three hundred know enough
to sit and enjoy a quiet hour with
me.
Some who 1 have hoped might

to opine that silent man must be
sick, or an angry man, and SO they
try to get up a conversation on
some topic or other, egging me on

in heaven once for the space of half
hour and good many of us would
have occasional half hours of heav-

of undisturbed silence in good and
pleasant company. Blessed be the
man who, finding me weeping, gets
out his pocket-handkerchief and
raises it suspiciously to his eyes.

POPULARITY for my hours of woe, and
who wants to set my griefs to some
