CHAPTER XVIII.
FACE TO FACE,

It was midnight. Peace and quiet
had settled upon the great house. Not
a light twinkled from its many win
dows, not sound disturbed its uaiver-
sal peace. But in the walks beneath
it was not so. There a restless figure

at tie rauit Of stars above his head.
but oftener to turn toward the house
from one of whose windows an influ-
ence breathed which chained him to
the spot.
1t was Hamilton Degraw, the artist.
What were his thoughts? What
were his dreams? What was the charm
which made this vigil more alluring
than the repose which awaited him in
his own rooms? He had parted from
the signorina under the eyes of Miss
AspinwaI and her friends. Ee had

What to Learn.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your own
business-a very important point.
Learn to tell story. A well-told
story is as welcome as sunbeam in
a sick-room.
Learn the art of saying kind and en-
couraging things, especially to the
young.
Learn to avoid all ill-natured re-
marks, and everything calculated to
create friction.
Learn to keep your troubles to your
self. The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croa!iing. If you cam
na see any good in this world, keep
the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under n pleasant smile. No one cares
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism.
Learn to greet your friends with a
smile. They carry too many froWns
in their own hearts TO be bothered with
any of yours.-ClriStian Life.

A New Note.

Make up your minds. that definite and
settled opinions in theology, if rot within
easy reach, are possible, are desirable, are
worthy of intense inquiry. Shake of this
lcthargy which allows you to remain in
eternal suspense, this indifference which
you call liberality, tnis apathy you name
candor. 1t needs, doubt not, sor1e finer
and more generous statement to win the
ear and heart of Christendom, but feel a
that Christian theology clears her trumpet
and utters a not uncertain note, the voice
Of Claiming will be the dominant of the
strain.-HenrY w. Bellows.

name for the mere tyranny OF the multi
tude-a subservient mass a prey to passion
and to schemers who are its panderers-
fattering while they degrade. But then
the "rule' is lost, and the demos is by
his means thwarted of his ends. Democ-

Therefore, hold both that Christianity
intends democracy, and that only in its
reality can democracy thrive or endure.
Other foundation it cannot lay. If the
Son of Man shall make the peoples free
they shall be free indeed, and not other

theirs. In Him, who Is all IN all, they are
complete.
