THE PYRAMYD OF CABBAGES.

her pretty curved lips, as she opened tho
iiato lcad'uiy to that place. ''Nowhere

"It doesn t seem at all strange to me,
my dear, for during our ten year's friend
ship you ve always been developing sonio
odd passion or other. But l'vo never
lost faith in you. Lead on ; I'll fol
low." nd stepping daintily and gracefully
unimpeded by trains or demi trains, thu
young girls threaded their way through
the crowd ot liens and chickens holding
i loud and lively conversation prepara

waiting to be milked, anil turning their
heads to look after thu intruders with
great solemn brown eyes, and old Low-
leail, the white horse, slaking Ins thirst
at the water trough to tho extreme end
of the yard, where a pile of cabbages,
neatly arranged in the form of a pyramid
confronted them.
"Heboid," said Isabel,stopi)ing before it,
how Nature lends herself lo Art! (That
sounds well, though I don t know as it
means anything,) X his mighty structure

ble lliild laborer, who, having read of
the byrainids of Egypt, has sought
to bury the monotony ot cabbago by

somebody's hoe and rake,) while I go
back to tho commonplace.
"Thank you, Bell dear, I'll share tho

idea that a cabbago would prove a very
uncomfortable seat under any circum
stances. Aud do go back to tho com
monplace, that's a darling, for I m dying
to know what has happened siuco wo par
ted an ago ago.
"An ago ago ! Ono year and a half
exactly. I was then engaged to Claud
Yenner. 1 retty name, isu t lit Ami lie

hair,, and lovely bluo eyes, with lashes
long enough for a bang.' small dimpled
hands, and not an idea in his little round
head. Mv mother with all duo defer

I accord much less delerence mado tho
match when I was eighteen, and I un
made it at twenty. I never loved Claud.
How could I? And ho never loved me.
How could he? AVci were tho victims of
circumstances and match-making mam
mas,'dtid two moitalsmoro unlike it would
bo hard to Iimi. Ho was tho most con
volitional of mon and would have nearly
died if at ono of those dreary dinner par
tics in which his soul delighted somebody
had whispered lo him that his back hair
wasn't parted straight, whilo I havo of
ten been strongly tempted to shock tho
full dressed guests, at tho very start, by
asking for moro soup."
"Well, last Juno, at Newport, my di
minutive friend Kdu Snivlhe.with ahoad
tho exact counterpart of Claud's appeared
upon tho scene, and she and my betroth
ed fell iu love with eaeli other nt fiist

scolded, and asked me, with tragic em
phasis, how I could look on and seo so
many thousands of dollars lost to tho
family, for she was sure that artful minx
would pursuado poor dear Claud to clopo

calmly on, until ono evening Claud, witli

day, leaving my maid to pack my ward

which she discovered years ago. and I
coaxed mamma promising to take Char
ley, our youngest, who is tho 'worrit' of
her lite, with me to let mo spend threo
of my four out of tho-eity months here.
And, Lottie, I havo never been as happy
before, and I nm lirmly convinced that
hero 1 have found tho kind of life that
would suit iiio best. I was born to lore
cows and chickens, to make butter, to
build pyramids of cabbages."
"You l" laughed her friend. "I think
I seo you in tho dairy, in neat cambric

I have examined, I havo doubted, I
havo believed that the human mind had
power enough to solve tho problems pro
sented by man and by tho universe, and
that tho human will had forco enough
lo regulate human life according to tho
dictates of law and morality. After a
long life spent iu thought and action, I
became, and am still convinced that nei
ther the universe is competent to regu
late its own movements nor man to gov-
rn his own destiny by means only ot the
permanent laws by which they aro or
dered. It is my profound conviction
that God, who created this universe and
man, governs, preserves and modifies
them either by tho action of general
laws, which we call natural, or by spc
cial acts which wo call supernatural, and
which, ns well as tho general laws, aro
the emanations of His free aud perfect
wisdom and His infinite power. We
aro permitted to discern them iu their cf
lects, and forbidden to understand them
n their essence and design. I have
therefore returned to the faith of my
childhood. I am still firmly attached to
he uso of my reason and to tho freewill
which aro tho gifts from God, and my
birthright and my titlo of honor upon
earth; yet I have learned to feel myself a
child in tho hands ol Uod, and sincerely
resigned to my large share ot ignorance
and weakness. I believe in God and
worship Him without attempting to un
derstand Mini. 1 seo His presence and
His action not only in the unchangeable
law of tho univcise and in the secrctlife
of the soul, but in tho history of human
society, and especially iu tho Old and
iSew lestament those records ot reve

mediation and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus
Christ for thu salvation of tho human
race. I bow beforo tho mysteries of the
Bible aud tho gospel, and I refrain from
the discussions nnd scientific solutions
by means of which men have tried to ex
plain them. I havo a firm faith that
God allows me to call myself a Christian;
and I nm convinced that when 1 shall,
as will soon be my lot, enter into tho
full light of day, I shall seo how purely
iiiman is tuo origin, and how vnm aro

But such theories aro too weak for our
iicceptance. Languago is, undoubtedly a
divine institution, invented by God, and
by Him made known to man. It was
tho result of a direct revelation from on
