1t 10 not often that an umbrella Is q
factor in the course of true love and
plays a part that makes its current run
smoothly, yet that Is what happened a
few months ago, with the result of a
happy consummation that has just fol

the President OF local bank.

no difference, aud he came to the house
with provoking regularity.

The Power of Sadness.

There is a wonderful power in what
is sad. A pathetic ballad will hush
the crowd by its strange spell, We
linger over the page that swells the
heart and fills the eyes. The plaintive
note that comes from the woods wooes
our sympathy. The sorrowful look Of
beast, half human in It's tender gaze,
touches the heart The sweetest
poems in our language are those that
tell of pain and grief This power Of
sadness is universal. A tear is a
greater force in the world than is a
sceptre, and a sigh vii persuade soul
that command could not move. The
music that means and walls brings
the world weeping to its feet. The
drama OF suffering and anguish melts
the audience into one mood, The
thought that sways one mind with re-
greet has power over all the world.
Words of despair and grieflive because
every human mind is moved with those
passions.

searched the sitting room for his &C
customed helpers.
"Oh, dear began Fred, who always
thought IL great nuisance TO go up
and down stairs, unless he wanted
something for himself and couldn't get
any one TO go; but before he had finish
ed his grumbling sentence little Lille
had deposited her lapful OF patchwork
on the sofa, and with CHEEKY, "I'll get
them, grandpa" was on her way up
stairs.
Fired, you forgot TO put your tools
away, mamma said, little later.
"Oh, dear. it's such IA bother to put
everything away, fretted Fred.
Cant leave them where they are till
tomorrow, for will want TO use them
again. =
mo, want them put away at once"
said mamma, in such a decided tone
that Fred knew she required instant
obedience.
"Oh, dear! | can never learn this
long lesson, he grumbled that evening
when he sat down to prepare his reel
tations for the next day. Its such
lot OF work to translate all these sent
ences."
DR.. Morton had dropped in for a lit
tie chat with Fred's father. and he
looked up as he heard the impatient
exclamation.

diversion from his books.

that she could not use it as she wanted
to She makes lace very cleverly, and
her earnings have been great help to
the family, but, since her arm was hurt
she has not been able TO work at all.
We held a consultation at the hospital
today, and decided that the only way
TO help the child would be to break her
arm again and reset it,"
