11sNritten Specially For The BuIietin.) These March and April days are giving us much of both shadow and l sunshine in the weather. Sunshine l brightens all the landscape for 8 time i tc be followed suddenly by furry of snow, as a dark cloud passes over the l sky, or equally bright days are broken l b5 short frequent showers of rain. So l quickly do sunshine and shadow suc- eeed each other. that we are some times favored with rainbow at the l hours are all the brighter for. the clouds that intervene. and the clouds are forgotten in the sunshine that follows or in the beauty of the bow of promise.
 So in every household we find sum- shine and shadow combining to fill out the everyday life of each if us. Long fellow tells us
 Into each life some rain must fall.
 Some days be dark and dreary.s
 And no matter how prosperous and protected one may be, he may be sure that the sunshine will some time be with patience and hope, for life's hap piness is increased thereby.
 E But equally true is it. that in almost every home we find hum&n illustra- tions of both sunshine and shadow. Sometimes they are united in one in- dividua1, and we say:
 She is an April child, all smiles one instant, in tears the nextr
 
 people play the separate roles of su- shine and shadow, and this quality in each is recognized by all the family connections. So often we hear it said.
 If John could only see the pleasant side of things, how much happier he would be. How different he is from his brother James"or Susie always sees the pleasant things of life. All her small worries seem to have slip ped upon her sister Mabefs shoulders. Mabel is sure to find gloom if there is any to- be found and make the whole house miserable with her forebodings.'
 Years ago, two teachers. both young men. were so named by the pupils of the school where they were employed. What became of shadow, I do not know, but Sunshine went through life, dispensing good cheer and happiness to all with whom he came in contact and making the world brighter and better for his fellowmen.
 Sophie Lovejoy and her sister Julia were Striking examples of sunshine and shadow. What made them differ, I wonder? Born of the same parents, reared in the same surroundings. ed ucated in the same schools, one would expect a similar degree of happiness to attend each. Such was not the case, however and so striking was the con- trast between the two girls that from childhood to old age all their circle of friends recognized the fact, and made allowance for it in all their dealings with them, Everyone knew. Sophie could be depended upon to be actively interested in any project in which her help was desired.
 Was house party planned for the week Be sure to get Sophie Lovejoy: she is so lively and re- sourceful for such things" But we shall be obliged to ask Julia then, and she is certain to find something wrong in the planning of the whole affair. How can she be so different from her sister? Her name should have been "Killjoy instead of t'Lovejoy'.
 At another time, we must have Sophie Lotejoy on our yacht next week She will enjoy it so much, and for once we need not have Julia. She is so fearful of sea sickness and dang CT of running on rocks that she will 1 not go, I'll invite her though, for she will feel sighted if do not include her"
 So they went through early life | Both married into well-to-d do families l
