they may by some mischance hurt the
feelings of others. Added to this she has

"John, she said to the manseryant on
the morning following the party, do you
happen to know whether-that isl

the cook, whether the timed salmon was
all eaten last night? You see, l don't wish
TO ask her because she may have eaten 1t,
and then she would feel uncomfortable,

1t would be quite wrong to conclude
that the crystal sphere is discredited
among the faithful. Large numbers are
sold every year-few, by comparison, with

the parchment worn next the skin requires
periodical renewal; in the next, the crys-
tai ball will last forever, and is, moreover
expensive. The genuine article-real crys
tal-may cost as much as $50, but that is
q luxury only accessible to the wealthy
and earnest prober into the future; for 10
shillings or guinea you may possess

l understand that astrology recognizes
no difference in the relative merits OF TIT

in using the crystal ball is great concen

for reasons / am unable to explain, but
not absolutely necessary. You recline II

steamship Britanic, which arrived
Yesterday from Liverpool and
Queenstown, completed on her last
trip to the eastward her 50Oth voy-

markable thing about the Britanic
is that she is faster ship to-day

called the prime of an ordinary sim

THE ISOLATION OF A CHILD.

once knew dear little mother,
With beautiful blue eyed boy.
She constantly bathed and brushed him,
And when he had tired of toy
She would take 1t and scald 1t and scrape 10
And lay it away in the sun,
And that is the way she took care OF
His playthings, every one.
Pent up in his own little playhouse
The baby grew peaked and pale,
And there were the neighbors' children,
All dirty and happy and hale.
If the baby went out for an airing,
The nurse was to understand
That none of the neighbors' children
Was ever TO touch his hand.
But they did, and the injured mother
Brought The dear baby inside
And shut him up in his playhouse,
Where the little one fretted and died.
Then the torn heart turned TO the Virgin,
And this was the weight of her prayer:
80 mother, dear, don't let him play with
The other angels up therel"
