Lord Brampton's Touching Speech.
NondOn Daily Mail)

4 story with pathetic interest is told
by Lord Brau1pton in connection with
a man whom he defended. The man was
charged with wife murder and his two
children were in court, dressed In black
and sobbing violently. A verdict was
given in the prisoners favor. But the
interest in the case did not end there.
"On the same evening, writes Lord
Brampton, Il was dining at the country
house of a Mr.. Hardcastle, and near me
sat an old nhabitant of the village where
the tragedy had been committed.

THE DINNER OF HERBS.


NRlTTER is dinner of herbs where
~ love is, than a stalled OK and
hatred herewith said .the wise man.
An of the happy Thanksgiving din
ners of last week We're not eaten in
the mansions. All Of the diners did
not have turkey and plum pudding
and the other good things ordinarily
associated with the holiday feast. All
of the repasts were not served in
courses by deft maids and buffers. In
some homes the fare was nieagre and
plain, but who shall say the partici-
pants therein did not enjoy their food
and their day as much as anybody.
Turkey and oysters and plum pud-
ding are mighty poor food il you
haven't the appetite for them. Bacon
and corn bread are rare delicacies
when one is hungry It isn't so much
the food as the company and the sur
roundings. In a family where love
does not enter there is no possibility
of enjoying food or. indeed. anything
else. The cottager looks toward the
mansion sometimes and imagines him
self man much abused by the world.
Then he looks at his wife and his baby
and is sure that he wouldn't trade
either of them. for the mansion and
all the lands, tenements and heredita-
ments thereuntO belonging.
Love" said Georgiana CAREY in the
play the other night, does not make
beasts of men; it makes men of
beasts" Love can make the meanest
home paradise; the absence of love
can make the most splendid palace a
hell. All the money in the world can
not buy love; all the misery in the
world cannot drive it away. True love
forgives everything, forgets every
thing.
Hatred stirreth up strifes. but love
covereth all sins" said Solomon. And
again, Many waters cannot quench
love, neither can the floods drown it,"
The highest average Of happy homes
is not found among the people who
seem to have so many things TO make
them happy. 1t was not a cottager
who first asked the question: as mar
riage a failure?' The records show
that there is a great deal more mari
tai unhappiness, proportiOnately-
marital unhappiness means unhappy
homes or ruined homes-among the
rich than among the poor.
Perhaps this is because the rich have
so many other things to occupy them
that they don't have time for love,
which is most unfortunate for them.
And this brings US back to our din
ner of herbs where love is" If you
have that, nothing else really mat
ters.

A TRAGEDY OF SANDER.

mo, it's SANDER.
Whose edge is sharper than the sword,
whose tongue
Outvenoms all the worms OF Nile, whose
breath
Rides on the posting winds, and doth be-
lie
All corners Of the world"
4 SALT LAKE WOMAN left last
n week for New York on the sad
dest of errands. She went to assume
the care of her two sisters who were
driven insane by cruel ISLANDERS. These
sisters had little store. They had
built up prosperous business and all
was well with them until two women
began lying about them, began de-
stroying their good name.
The easiest way in the world to gain
an audience is TO tell something un-
pleasant about a .neighbor. People who
are too busy 20 listen to story of the
neighbours good deeds, his spotless rep
utauOn, his beautiful home life. have
plenty of time TO hear how the neigh
Dor beats his wife and children and
makes his home a hell. The easiest
thing in the world to destroy, the hard
est thing in the world to restore, is a
wOman's character.
The women in the case to which we
refer were as blameless as babes. Their
slanderers now admit that they lied,
they say they were mistaken. But the
slandered ones are cropping in darkness.
Through brooding over their ruined
regulations the light Of their lives has
gone out. Helplessly, hopelessly in
sane, they will spend the remainder of
their days IN restraint. A more pitt
full story has not been told in recent
months, nor one so we'll calculated TO
arouse the bitterest Indignation.
No punishment would seem too Sc
we're TO visit upon deliberate slanderers.
Some Bible writer's place them in the
same class as murderers and others
who commit grave crimes. In the oIden
days gossips were ducked in the most
convenient stream or pool. Today they
should at least be sent to prison for a
brief period of reflection over the enor-
NIFTY Of the offense.
It is too much to hope. in advance of
the millennium, that the tongue of the
slanderer viii be stilled Of the SANDER
er's own will. But it is not too much
to hope that the time is coming when
the slanderer will be ostracised by de-
cent people.
