Friends and Relations.
 Narbonne, France. June 1.-The dis content caused among the men of the tooth regiment of infantry by their confinement to barracks for the last five Sundays on account of the wine wine growers manifestations was brought to a head last night by a dis pute between the privates and non- commissioned officers, who tried to pull down men from a wall whence they were cheering passing trains loaded with wine growers going to Montpe- Her.

Don't be fippant. When you're for

silly kind. And she might have known
l didn't mean anything, anyway. And
it was most becoming bonnet. And
o dear, why am I always saying things
l don't mean? It's simply awful!
you see, Miss Ashley has always
dressed in that correct, Quakerish way
that you'd never notice, any more than
you'd notice her, If you didn't know
her. I always thought she was the
perfect picture Of ladylike insignifi-
canoe. So when she appeared yester-
day in an exQuisitely stylish gray
gown, with fluffy boa to match, and
the witchiest little gray tulle bonnet
with big pink rose in it-actually
pink rose! Naturally, though it wasn't
snowy in the least, it made us look at
her.
Il was standing with a bunch Of the
girls, and when she'd passed I said,
o gracious, isn't somebody growing
giddy in her old age!
"Oh, yes, 1 know how hateful it was,
but you needn't reprove me because I
don't need it. You see, she heard! I
knew it in a minute when I met her
again to-day in the same dress, but
without the elegant boa, and with the
pink rose gone out Of the bonnet and
hateful old white chrysanthemum put
in. And, o Polly, she had never had
such beautiful things before in all her
life,-it seems cousin sent them to
her from Paris,-and now I've spoiled
them for her! Whatever shall l dor"

wisely. Tell her you didn't mean a

1t was hard advice to take, but Pat

terview smiling rather uncertainty, and

ed that she had; and that she was as
sweet and kind and sensible as could
be, and not in the least sensitive about

regard them.
"I'm forgiven, and she'll wear the

The Gain Of our Failures.

The Gain Of Our Failures.
Our plans often miscarry 80 that
Gods plans may endure. Defeat and
failure and death are soil Of this earth
out Of which gracious harvests arise as
it is warmed, and watered, and lighted
from above. A man who had been
given many possibilities Of earthly use
fulness, and who cherished high ambi-
tons, suddenly saw them all about to
vanish unfulflled, as In the very be-
ginning of youth he was called to die.
Then he comforted himself and bright
ened others by his clear vision OF truth,
saying, as to-day it is written on his
grave: "In Eden every flower is blown"
There Is no failure, there Is no defeat,
if we, like him, will learn to count In
our plans the eternal years and the
eternal love of God

WITTY PARSONS,

The old first church of Quincy, Mass,
had In its history many homely details
not without interest. Mrs Dolores Ba.
con, in "Old New England Churches"
says that at first this church building
rested on two rows of dressed stone.
At that time the town decided that
this dressed stone under three walls Of
the church was all that appearance de.
manded. This left the east side in
rough condition., and that was the
side which looked toward Thomas Ba1.
ter's house. The Rev. Mr.. Wibird, pas
tor Of the church, boarded at Bakers
and the rough, unfinished side was con-
tinually in his sight, When be learned
Of the towns decision to let it stand
thus, he exclaimed, "Why should not
my side be dressed stone, too? 1t must
be; will pay for it myself"
There are many lovable generous
things told of this same preacher. As
he looked over the tax lists from which
his salary was drawn, he now and
again would erase a name with the re-
mark, This man has been unfortu'
nate," or "Such an one needs the money
more than l do" and would strike ou1
