THE HASTY MAN.
He Makes Some Mistakes, but There
Are Some Things In His
Favor.

"The hasty man is never traitor
German proverb.
The hasty man has never the time
to engage in plots.
He speaks the thought that's in his
mind.
Consistency is a jewel, but only
second-rate men are fond of jewelry
He is weather vane, but he has
his seat as often on the feathers as
on the point. He turns his back on
the wind only when he has a mind
to. The wind may switch him, but
cannot drive him.
He talks too much for comfort, but
never Willingly lies.
He misses many of the good things
Of ife-but never misses them.
He makes more errors, but covers
more bases than the cautious player.
AS an enemy he plays fair; as a
friend he is embarrassing. But he
has more friends than enemies. in the
which he but gets his due.
His greatest enemy is himself, and
he does not always love his enemies.
And here endeth the first lesson

THE VOICES.

In cadence, in a measure,
AS the sound of water falling,
Comes the laughter and the music
OF the voices ever calling.
Mountafn-tops and mellow valleys.
And the rocks rough-hewn features,
Streams and forests, farms and pastures,
All alive with living creatures.
Butterflies upon the flowers,
Bees that delve into deep clover,
Cattle calling from the mountains,
And the joy of life all over.
Wild rose, darling of old nature,
With its petals family flushing;
Farm girls, lost beneath sun-bonnets,
With their freckled faces blushing.
Wet dew in the early morning
And the sunset west at night,
Sounds and signs that fill the senses
With a fatho;nless delight
In a cadence, in q measure,
AS the sound of water falling,
Comes the music of the voices
That to me are ever calling.

"And then Margot heard steps com.

I down the stairs.
THAT was a dreadful night. She
heard the doctor and the priest talk
ing together in the parlor in low
tones, and when she tried to listen,
they closed the door and moved
across the room. She heard great
deal of movement in the sick-cham-
Der, much walking across the floor
and opening of drawers, but towards
morning all was quiet and she fell
asleep. When she awoke it was
broad daylight. The kitchen clock
had stopped at twenty minutes to
five. There was not a sound in the
house. At last the stiffness fright
ened her. She crept UP to the back
door; It was bolted on the inside.

leaned over the balustrade.

CT guess it's dretful late,' said Jul

ran down the stairs again and to the
front door. She found it unbolted
and unlocked. She opened the great
hall-door, and found that it was the
butcher, driving up the avenue. He
came slowly along the drive, and
turned off to go round to the kitchen.
Margot waved her hand to him and
stopped him. He looked surprised.
She ran down the front steps and
up to the cart. All at once, when she
got to where Alibone stood, she
burst out crying.
whats the matter with the wo-
man? exclaimed Allibone.

I'm that glad to see you. There's

Miss Evelyn was sobbing as I ended;
Miss Elizabeth was more quiet, but
her tears were raining down fast.
I resumed my tale, for I saw that
we were approaching my own home,
and I felt now that should probably
have to give up my trip to the village
for that day at least. "Allibone ran
up the stairs after Margot and
pushed in at the door. Some villain
hand has been at work. he cried; and
then Margot turned from the stare
of those open eyes and looked around
the room. It was in dreadful disor-
