PARTED,
W hich of us two Is to blame? vou ask,
Paling and flush ng with wounded pride
Which of us two? 'Twere an easy task,
Holding the balance on either side,
Bright was the morping, but all too brief,
Doubtful the day that could thus begin,
Fair was the rarland in "loom and leaf,
Sharp were the thorns that were hid
within
Each made light of the loosening chain,
Lips were smiling, and brows serene,
Bhowing no sign of the hidden pain,
Hiding tha scar where the wound had been,
Vain snd bollaw were smile and speech,
Far divergeth our minds and ways,
Slowly died from the heart of each
All the trust of the earlier days.
Bo it must come that the bonds would grow,
Slighter and weaker as months went past;
Word and deed have been false, you Know,
Falsehood ever must fail at last.
As for the world, let it gibe or frown,
Care we not wnen its worst Is said,
Snaps the bond ere the sun goes down;
Faith has vanished and Love is dead.

Effie donbled her little tists and stamp-

indignant reproaches, that he retreated
with precipitation and that nook was
ever after sacred to grandpa, alone,
One day, after the baby had begun
to toddle abont, the minister called. [It

daughter-in-law and her dozen boister- !
ous boys,—always silent; for it seemed !
to the old man that there was no room |
in the world even for his weak, tremb-
ling voice.
Years and years ago, he had been the |
proud master of a broad farm in a hap-
py Arcadian Valley. Lands, home, fam-
ily and riends had left him one by one,
and only the memory of them now re-
mained. Ah! in that beautiful world
of the Past was no lack of room. There
the fields were ever green and friends
always kind, Sometimes, when almost
happy in the serene light of those |
blessed days, he would berndely awak- |
ened by an impatient push from his
busy, daughter-in-law, or by a snarl
from his eldest grandson, who found
the old, black Bible, grandpa's one
book, in his way; and the old man
would hobble from the room in silence |
and sit in the cold with a bitter pain in |
his heart, whose every pang, you may |
be sure, is noted, ay, and recompensed
by Him who seeth all things.
It was May; and grandpa Holmes '
had limped out into the sunshine with
his old, black Bible. Some of the soft
warmth and glow about him hal crept
into his heart, and the page before
him, like the monkish mannseripts of |
old, was illumined by golden lights,
soft gray shadows, thrillsof bird-songs,
and tints from the bl
apple-trees. The stirring danghter-in
law had not been abont for some days,
and the old man sighed, when ne
membered that these periodical dis ap |
pearances meant grandcaild,
and less room in the world
for him. But just then his dim e

and after that—the winter,
Grandpa's obair was in its usual cor-
ner, and his quiet face had an
gion pathetic to see, as he shrank into i
the smallest possible space and thought
of the many cold, dark days to coms. |
Some one pushed his feet, he drew
them closer, they were pushed again:
looking down the soft, round pink and |
white face of a roly-poly baby smiled
into his, and two little fat arms were |
lifted, with a gentle, pleading coo to
be taken. Feeling somewhat as old
Simon must have felt, when he took
the holy Christ-Child in his armas, he
placed on his knee his youngest grand-
child.
How strange that he had never no.
ticed her before! How lovingly she
nestled in bis long empty arms, and
with what soft delicions pats, she
stroked his bright white hair!
“What is her name?” he asked of the
mother whose wide black eves were re-
garding them with surprise.
“Effie,” she answered with nnnsnual
gentleness. “Effi«!” The aged hand
fell tenderly on the silky rings of hair.
The name of his only daughter and
best beloved child. Burely Aer strong,
loving soul looked from the blue baby
eyes before him!
A foolish fancy perhaps; but ah, the
peace and blessedness it bronght!
The baby’s love and eare for grandpa,
grew with her growth. At the table
her chair must be beside his; and how
jealously she watched to see that he
was not neglected! Before Effie’s reign,
the mother, in her haste to silence the
clamor of her ill-bred boys, would serve
them first; and many a cold morning
grandpa’s coffee would be entirely for.
gotten; and in consequence, the weak,
old man would leave the table with a
sense of loss in his shivering frame,
Never now. The baby's sweet, clear
tones emphasized by the drumming of
8 spoon on her tin plate would be heard
above all the clamor.
“Gianpa, ganpa's jink.”
At length it me the custom to
serve him first, and once he was sur-
prised by hearing his hitherto unob-
servant son say.
“Don’t take that ernst, grandps;!
take the soft piece.” Finally it be |

son, when the gentle, old man said:
“Yon must e .cuse baby; she thinks
every one must notice her old grand-
pa." But the ycung minister never
afterward forgot the deference due to
the aged.
Effie was nearly three yearsold when
one lovely June day, the eldest grand-
son came in, and astonished the old
man, by saying:
“Grandpa, 1 am going over to Isling-
ton on business. Maybe you wonld
like to go along and see uncle Jack's
folks. 1 will get up the light wagon
and youn may take Effie.”
Islington was ouly six miles away; it
longed to see this
more. Scarcely a week
passed but that some of his people went
there, yet, never until now had any
one thought of inviting him.
In those years many a dear friend
had sickened and died, and now but
few of the old acquaintances were left:
but when he sat in the carriage with
Effie at his feet, smiling and prattling,
and at his side the grandson, cheerful
and considerate of his comfort, and
drove through the old scenes and fa-
miliar places, swathed in the perfamed
gold and tender green of early sum-
mer, he felt very near to Beulah Land,
n
and lost companions of his youth.
Would he ever forget that ride among
the dear and never-to-be-forgotten as-
sociations of youth and early man-
hood ?

What it Coste---The Method Usually
Employed-—-Pay for Contribu-
tions,
“How much does it cost to produce |
an encyclopedia?” was asked of an ex- |
pert, and he said:
“That depends upon the method pur- |
sued in making it, The American
Cyelopmdia cost $500,000 before a penny
was realized. The maps and engravings |
In the work cost about $115,000, The’
best lithographers were employed and |
many of the pictures cost hundreds of
dollars.”
**How is an encyclopmlia made?”
“Well, usually after the method
employed in compiling dictionaries,
Editors are engaged for the different
departments, There is the religious
editor, the medical editor, the kistorical |
editor, the scientific editor and the
editor on miscellaneous subjects. The |
best authorities in the land are chosen
to edit the work, and large salaries are
paid. In the process of compilation an |
alphabetical rule is observed. The old |
encyclopmdies, such as Chambers’ and |
Encyclopmdia Britannica are followed
as regards the subjects they treat of. |
The modern encyclope lia, however, has
very much of a newspaper flavor, Itis|
based upon the principle of American |
journalism. It is timely and intended |
to hit the spirit of the age. The blog- |

“How much do the contributors to |

“Generally we pay magazine rates

who receive $500 or $1,000 for a short |

Facts About the Sea.
Che sea is the reservoir into which |
run all the rivers of the world, It is |
the cistern which finally catches all the |
rain that falls, not only upon its own |
surface, but upon the surface of the land
and upon the roofs of our homes.
All this water is removed again by |
evaporation as fast as it is supplied. It

feet thick on the bed of the Atlantic.
This is upon the sapposition that

reported that in many deep bays on the

At this depth waves are not felt.
Waves do not travel-—that is, the water

We measure waves by their height
and by the distance from crest to crest.
In deep water this latter distance is
about fiftesn times the height of the
