a TEST OF FRIENDSHIP.

There is story of Prince who lived
Long years ago, a people great among,
Who to him bent the ear and bowed the
head,
Caressing him with eye and hand and
tongue.
All that he did was good and right and
WISE
His people said, and yet the Prince was
fain
To frown upon his page, WIZ sometimes
found
A fault in him and of it spake too plain.
Now when the Prince was dead, his peo-
pie sought
The rarest flowers, which they, weeping,
brought.
Transported, in the gardens Of the day
The Prince was walking, hands with
flowers filled,
Rejoicing greatly in the wealth of love
Shown forth by them. His heart with
pleasure thrilled.
Here said his angel guide, "the foun-
tain is
Where earth's affections may be truly
Cast but your flowers in the water there"
They stood awhile the fountains brink
beside;
Slowly the Prince flower threw. and 10,
Touching the water, it but dropped and
With feverish eagerness he threw them
all,
Then: "All trusted false have proved!"
he cried
s'Take this one, now whitening on the
grass!'
The guide said softly. Bitterly he threw
His pages flower. In the waters clear
1t starlike shone and fresh and fair it
grew.
IF thou wouldst not shattered friend
ship rue,
Trust thou in him whose words are Al
ways true.

[ heard the gate click, and pushing
the bureau hastily back, I stood up
right, and began to dust again the
immaculate top of the old piece of
furniture. AS I did so, I raised my
eyes to see Miss Dacres looking in
through the open window.

she. Gust hand me my little coat,
will you? I forgot it. There it is,
hanging over the rocker. That's it;
thank you. Now I'm really off, and
she was.
I wondered if I looked conscious
as she stood at the window. When

at Miss Dacres' door. I heard the
slamming of drawer, and then she
came hurriedly across the room.
AVhen she opened the door her face

Fbut l won't have that Vinegar Cruet

Dacres, have you heard any unusual

Her face flushed again. ''What do

they have no conscience; the following
instance shows that they are equally
lacking in sense of humOr. \ public
body, noticing large increase in their
water bill, suggested TO the company
that perhaps the metre might he out of

that the metre had been tested and was

that directions would at once he given

an accurate metre does not meet the
