scHooLBoY LovE-rlAKINd.

A heart-rending case OF youthful
affection brutality nipped in the bud
has just been related to me BY the
mother of one of my boy friends.
The boy friend, poor fellow, is the
hero. He is in the eighth grade of
one OF the city schools, and he
adores, as only boy of that age,
more's the pity, can adore, girl in
the same school, a pert little snip of
a thing, who draws ia her belt hole
or two, on the sly, and is just begin
ming TO use handglass in making
her toilet. The boy hadn't the cour-
age to tell her the state of his feel
iugs in person, but he wrote her q
letter, a wonderful letter, which be-
gan, Dear Friend Lulu and con.
tanned an ardent declaration of IN
dying devotion. He dida't like 10
trust the precious missive TO the
post, but he knew where she lived.
He passes the house on his way to
and from school, though it takes
him quite three blocks out of the
way to do so. One dark evening he
slipped to the door slyly, laid the
letter on the step, rang the door bell,
and scampered away. Her father
came to the door, looked out, saw
nobody, and shut the door again,
leaving the letter lying where the
boy had put it. Again the young
lover mounted the steps, and again
be rang the bell and fed. The father
appeared again, and again withdrew
without seeing the letter. The boy
determined to make one more trial,
but even as his finger was on the bell
button the door flew open and he
was dragged into the lighted hall.
"I've caught J GU, have II" snort
ed her irate father. SI've caught
you, you young scoundrell This is
the third evening this week I've
been annoyed by you imps ringing
that bell, and I'm going to whale
your smart Aleckiness out of you.'
Several blows fell before the boy
could gasp out his explanation, and
all the while, in the parlor, there,
she-she sat and saw and heard it
all. And oh, few minutes later he
walked down the steps, with a lump
in his throat and a hot feeling all
over him, and q wild thankfulness
that it was dark and g bitter desire
to go somewhere, anywhere, where
nobody could ever see him again the
longest day he lived. The very
street lamps seemed to know and to
wink derisively. Home he went,
and straight to bed, where an hour
later his mother found him, all his
pretense of big boyishness vanished,
sobbing his heart out in the dark.
Even mother couldn't help him, poor
boy! Her father and her mother,
yes, and his father and mother, too,
have laughed about it uproariously,
but his cheeks burn with mingled
pain and humiliation whenever the
horrid specter of it looms up over
his lesson book.

December 4, 1898.

Subject, 1.-The Book of the Law
Found 2 Kings q: $40 Read
Chron. 81. Golden Text, Eye
shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye
shall search for Me with all your
heart" Psalm 119: 2.
The boy king Josiah in the eighth
year of his reign began to seek after
the God of David his father; and in
the twelfth year he began to purge
idolstry from Jerusalem. In the
eighteenth yesr, after purging the
land, he repaired the house OF the
Lord. He sent money that had been
collected to pay the carpenters,
builders and masous, and to pur-
chase materials; but there was no
reckoning made with them OF the
money that was delivered into their
hand, because they dealt faithfully.
And Hilkiah the high priest, who
summed the money, found in the
Lords house tie Book Of the law OF
the Lord given by Moses. Then
they carried the Book to the king
and read it to him, and when be
heard it he rent his clothes for fear
of the wrath of the Lord that was
contained in the Book.
Then he commanded Hilkiah and
his servants go ye. and inquire of
the Lord for me, and for all Judah.
concerning the words of this Book
that is found, for great is the wrath
of the Lord that is kindled against
us, because our fathers have not
hearkened unto the words of this
Book" And they went to Huldah
the prophecies, and communed with
her, and she said to them, "Thus
saith the Lord, Behold, / will bring
evil upon this place and upon the in.
habitants thereof, even all the words
of tue Book which the King of
Judah hath read, because they have
forsaken Me-" But the Lord seat
word to the king, because thine
heart was tender, and thou hast
humbled myself before the Lord
l also have heard thee. thine eyes
shall not see all the evil which
will bring upon this place."
The king went up to the house of
the Lord with all the people, great
and small, and he read in their ears
all the words of the Book. And
the king made covenant before the
Lord to follow Him with all his
heart and soul, and caused all that
were present in Jerusalem and Ben
jamin to stand by it. And he took
away all the denominations out of
all the countries that pertained to
the children of Israel, and all his
days they departed not from follow
ing the Lord, the God Of their faith
ere.
"The Lord is merciful and gra-
cious, slow to anger, and plenteous
in mercy" "He hath not dealt
with US after our sins, nor rewarded
us according to our iniquities."
His Book declares to His children:
'1f any man sin, we have an Advo-
cate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous; and He is the propi
tiation for our sins.' And this Adj
vocate declares in the Book: 81 am
the Way, the Truth, and the Life;
no man cometh unto the Father but

 The importance of MT. Justin MeCarthy's new Story of Gladstones Life," just pub lished by the Macmillan company, has been widely noticed, but the book has an interest far beyond that which belongs to MT. Gladstone's name alone. The book is full of the most interesting sketches of other prominent men whose work has brought them into more or less close asso- citation with Mir. Gladstone, and the por- traits with which the book is full render 1t work of no slight value.

 'Gondola Days," by F. Hopkinson Smith, Is now issued in a pretty twelve mo, with a dozen exquisitely dainty illustrations by the author. It is book upon the won- drous city by the sea, not concerning itself with It's history or it's politics, its religion or its morals, but 1t tells us of "the Venice that bewlders with her glory when you land at her water gate; that delights with her color when you idle along the Riva; that intoxicates with her music as you lie in your gondola adrift on the bosom of some breathless lagoon-the Venice of mould-stained palace, quaint cafe and arching bridge" In short, it is an artists book upon the city where 'it is joy to live, if only for a day"
 It will hold a distinct place among the many books upon Venice.
 Near a Whole City Full' is the title of @ collection of short stories by Edward w. Townsend of "Chimmie Fadden" fame. They are all of scenes that he has made peculiarly his own, and they are in the style that has made him famous among the journalists of New York. It is five years since MT. Townsend came "out of the west, and began newspaper work in New York on the staff of the Sun. When his work had sufficiently established him to warrant his doing so, he asked for assign ments a certain class of news stories, which finally determined the scope of his first literary work. For two or three years he wrote up all of the notable stories of crimes in the congested tenement districts. One result of, the insight this work gave him into the seamy side of life in the me- tropolis is his volume, Near Whole City Full" In this work he has gone deeper and further into the mysteries and trage- dies of now Greater New York;" than he did in his novel, "A Daughter of the Tene- ments," or in "Chimmie Fadden."
 John Kendrick Bangs who has long since won our hearts by his inimitable fun and humor in "The House Boat" and later "The Pursuit of the House Boat has writ ten another volume of tales entitled Paste Jewels" Being seven tales of domestic woe.
 In a short preface the author informs us that every of these "paste jewels came under his observation during the past ten years and that not one of the servants here made famous or infamous as the case may be, was employed except upon presentation of references writtetn by responsible persons. Possibly this accounts for the inane stripidity of the tales, for we are all more less afflicted with a re- cital of domestic woes in real life and none of us should care to go to literature for continuation of them, especially in book by an author who has caused us to expect nothing, but diversion, amusement and the most delightful entertainment at his hands.
