Dollie knocked at my door.
Dollie is my niece and my goddaught-

see her, but when she wakes me up
at o'clock in the morning to give me
that pleasure / cannot say that it is
wholly an unmixed one.
Auntie, may come in?"
You are in,' l answered tartly, for
she had opened the door.
Evidently she considered this an in
vitation, for she closed the door be-
hind her, put the candle down on the
table, and sat down at the foot of my
bed.
"Auntie," she said penitently. II

1T isn't what has taken place, but
what will take place. Auntie must

Extremely sudden. I see no imme-

1T will sound crude. I am in love
with three men,
mot bad for your years. Do you
propose to marry all three?'
"No-but I propose to marry one of
them. The question is which,"
And where does my part come in?"
You must decide for me-" pleading

pride of hearing man like that say,
That is my wife Think of the pleas
ure of assisting his work, of standing
between him and the everyday disturb
ing annoyance of life, above all, the
pleasure of having him to look up to
and admire. Admiration for a man is
a luxury so rarely possible to women
nowadays. And I admire everything
about him, from his clear cut features
and keen eyes to his enormous brain
and wonderful eloquence."
I was so much astonished at Dollie's
own unwonted eloquence that I could
only blink stupidity for a minute or two

shone on the pink ball dress and made
her jewels sparkle. But the jewels
were nowhere compared to her glisten-

Ruskin's Mother

"My mothers general principles OF
treatment" says Mr.. Ruskin, ..were to
guard me with steady watchfulness
from all avoidable pain and danger;
and, as for the rest, let me amuse
myself as like, provided was neither
fretful nor troublesome But the law
was that should find my own amuse-
ment. No toys Of any kind were at
first allowed. Nor did I ever painfully
wish for what was never permitted
FOR an instant to hope for, or even i'm
agine the possession Of such things as
one saw in toy shops. think it should
be related that I was steadily whipped

ticulars think the treatment of nv
childhood entirely right. AS soon as

Harcourt az = Coniurer.

Had Sir William Harcourt not taken
to politics, he might have earned re-
spectacle livelihood as conjurer. At
sleight-of-hand tricks he is pastmas-
ter, and often amuses any young peo-
pie who may be staying in his house
by making an egg pass from his hand
into a little box standing on the man
telpiece. Artfu1 Sir William has had
this box specially constructed for him;
in fact, it has a false bottom, but his
young friends are not aware Of this.

in time and one in eternity; brother
now, brother forever" Blessed be God
for Gospel platform so large that all
who receive Christ may stand on it!
I think we may overthrow the Sc
we're sectarianism and bigotry in our
hearts, and in the church also, by re-
alizing that all the denominations OF
Christians have yielded noble institu-
lions and noble men. There is nothing
that so stirs my soul as this thought
One denomination yielded a Robert
Hall and an Adoniram -Judson; anoth-
er yielded Latimer and a Melville;
another yielded John Wesley and
Summerfield, while our own depomina-
ton yielded John Knox and the Alex
anders-men Of whom the world was
not worthy. Now, say, if we are hon
est and fair-minded men, when we
come up in the presence of such
churches and such denominations, al
though they may be different from our
own, we ought to admire them, and we
ought to love. and honor them.
Churches which can produce such men,
and such large-hearted charity, and
such magnificent martyrdom, ought to
win our affection at any rate, our re-
spect. So come on, We six hundred
thousand Episcopalians in this country,
and We fourteen hundred thousand
Presbyterians, and We four million Bap-
lists, and We five million Methodists
come on; shoulder to shoulder we will
march for the worlds conquest; for all
nations are to be saved, and God de-
mands that you and help. Forward,
the whole line! In the Young Mems
Christian Associations, in the Bible So.

ciety, in the Tract Society, II the For
eign Missionary Society, shoulder to
shoulder all denominations.
Perhaps might forcefully illustrate
this truth by calling your attention to
an incident which took place twenty
five years Ego. One Monday morning
at about o'clock, while her nine hun
dred passengers were sound asleep in
her berths dreaming Of home, the
steamer Atlantic crashed into Mars
Head. Five hundred souls in ten min
utes landed in eternity! Oh, what a
scene! AgOniZed men and women run
ming up and down the gangways, and
clutchtng for the rigging, and the
plunge Of the helpless steamer. and the
clapping of the hands Of the merciless
sea over the drowning and the dead.
Threw two continents into terror. But
see this brave Quartermaster pushing
out with the lifeline until he gets to
the rock; and see. these fishermen gath
er1ng up the shipwrecked, and taking
them into the cabins, and wrapping
them in the lannels snug and warm;
and see that minister. of the Gospel,
with three other men, getting into a
life-boat, and pushing out for the
wreck, pulling away across the surf,
and pulling away until they saved one
more man, and then getting back with
him to the shore Can those men ever
forget that night? And can they ever
forget their compan1onship in peril,
companionship in struggle, companion
ship in awful catastrophe and rescue?
Never! Never! In whatever part of
the earth they meet, they will be
friends when they mention the story of
that night when the Atlantic struck
Mars Head: Well, my friends, our
world has gone into worse shipwreck.
Sin drove 1t on the rocks. The old ship
has lurched and tossed in the tempests
OF six thousand years. Out with the
lifeline! I do not care what denomi-
nation carries it. Out with the life
boat! I do not care what denomina-
ton rows it.. Side by side, in the men,
DRY OF common hardships, and common
trials, and common prayers, and COM
mon tears, let us be brothers forever.
We must be.
One army of the living God,
To his command we bow;
Fart OF the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.
AND 1 expect to see the day when all
denominations of Christians shall ioin
hands around the cross of Christ and
reclte the creed: II believe in God the
rather Almighty, Maker Of heaven and
earth, and in Jesus Christ and in the
communion OF Saints, and in life ever,
lasting. Amen"
