the advantage over Lowell of being both

free hand as to paying for articles. The
prices then paid were lower than NOW.
but were raised steadily, and he first in
troduced the practice Of paying for each
manuscript on acceptance. He had a
virtue which | have never known in

The scotchwoman,s Bank No,s.

A poor old widow living in the Scot.
tish highlands was called upon one day
by gentleman who had heard that she
was Ill need. The old lady complained
OF her condition and remarked that her
son was i'll Australia and doing well
:" But does he do nothing to help you?p
inquired the visitor mo, nothing, :" was
the reply. He writes me regularly
once month, but only sends me a lit
tie picture with his letter." The gentle
man asked to see one of the pictures
that she had received and found each
one OF them to be draft for g1O.
That is the condition of manv of
Gods children. He has given us manv
exceeding great and precious prom

or 1ail to appropriate. Many of them
seem to be pretty pictures of an ideal
peace and rest, but are not appropriated
as practical helps in daily life. And not
one OF these promises is more neglected
than the assurance of salvation. An

ster declare that it is the mate of Fitz-
simmons ii, whom they captured some
weeks ago near the same spot and who
has been at the aquarium ever since

point, but it is possible that they NAV
sui learn something. The fishermen saw
that the latest catch weighs 81 % pounds.
or p pounds more than the one which
is said to be her mate.
