"A whisper woke the air.
A soft. light tone, n low,
Yet barbed with shame and woe.
All! Might 1t only perish there.
Nor farther go!
But, no! A quick and eager ear
Caught up the little meaning sound.
Another voice has breathed 1t clear,
And 80 1t wandered round
From ear to lip. from lip to ear.
Until it reached a gentle heart
That throbbed from all the world apart.
And that-it broke!

agent, lis always looked on with IA
vor as a risk, but 60 years ago tee
totalism was considered injurious to
the health, and no company would in
sure a teetotaler's life except at an
extra high rate.
Robert Warner, an Englishman,
rather than pay that high rate started
a temperance insurance company. All
the teetotalers flocked to him to get
the ordinary drinkers rate. His con-
cern is flourishing one to-day.
Il never try to insure red-headed
man, for / always have bad luck with
