Spofford, in Bazar. It was all Dicky Carshalton’s fault. In many respects an amiable youth, he can not be said to be possessed of the finer feelings, and perhaps is not aware of the extent ot the discomfort he produced in more sensitive people. A frequenter of parties of every description, he is fond of varying the monotony of the social rou- tine by various little practices. Of these his favorite—not, alas! pecculiar to him. self —is commonly known as spoiling sport. Whenever Dicky sees a pair of people who appear to take particular de light in one another's society, showing a tendency to seek unto themselves retreats —he is never satisfied until, by some bold stroke or cunning stratagem. he has sue- ceeded in separating them, or at least in destroying their enjoyment for the rest of one evening. The happy possessor of an exhaustles supply of self-confidence and the most the objec ts of his at tacks, moreover, being from the nature eno FAAS SAS The note got written at last, all but the signature, and then she began to wonder dreamily if she should sign herself «Yours very sincerely” or *‘Yours affec- tionately.” «Ethel, Ethel!” cried her mother, putting her head in at the door, *‘I am going out. Give me the note for Florence, I can take it to the post." Guilty and ashamed, Ethel seized her pen and wrote hastily, but in a bold hand : “Yours very sincerely, “Jack Davesasrt.” Mrs. Byrne neither came to lunch nor | answered the Marmners' invitation, Mrs. Mariner expressed surprise at this want of courtesy and apologized to the Single- | tons for having no one to meet them, «Are you sure, Ethel, you told her the right day?

But the morning of the next day, as she was practicing her singing in the great holland-shrouded dining-room, the | door was flung open to admit a benign i and comely lady, who advanced smiling toward her, «Mrs. Byrne!" cried Ethel in surprise, getting off the music stool Mrs. Byrne established herself com fortably in a deep arm-chair, then beck oned the young girl mysteriously with a well-gloved finger: ‘‘Come over hore, Ethel.” Ethel! drew a stool to the other's and sat down, smiling but mystified Mrs. Byrne played a little with clasp of the silvér-mounted hand -bag which she carried, from which, having at last in it, she duced a stamped envi lop wddressed to! herself. “Do vou know that handwriting?’ aid, flourishing it before Ethels ished eyes. “It is my own: I wrote to ask you t ] simply: | 1} mamma,” | OMe succeeded opening pro asvon lunch,” Ethel answered 3 while the thought flashed across her mind | POOY f their position comparatively defenseless it iz needless to add that though Dicky | has his failures on record they are greatly i outstripped in numbers by his suce SSeS. So there is nothing wonderful in the fact that Dicky was at the bottom of the un fortunate affair with Jack and Ethel. Matters had long delicate and critical state between those young people. Jack had told himself over and } over again that Ethel was a flirt, and that he for one had no intention of adding | himself to the list of her victims, while Ethel had relicved her feelings by re- peatedly assuring herself that Jack was a cross fellow, who cared for nothing but his books and was quite impervions to the charms of womanhood. But that night at the Warringtons things really did seem to be taking a turn for the better, Ethel had boldly turned her back on half a dozen other admirers, and Jack, looking down into her honest eyes, was rapidly forgetting the doubts and feais which had tormented him dur ing the last months. There is no knowing what might not have happened had it not been for Dicky, who came up to them at this | hopeful stage of affairs, his shoulders in his ears, his hair brushed to a nicety, and | with the most unmistakable look of mis- | chief in his prominent eyes Miss hand in his been in a “Good evening, Mariner.” said, taking Ethel's squeezing it with empressement; and | then the two pour things, suddenly | awakened from their dream, stood ther chill and helpless while Dicky fired off his accustomed volley of chaff, and Ethel, with feminine presence of mind, ventured | on one or two little popguns on her own account g2 Mariner,” he said at last, with a satisfied glance at Jack's sullen face, ‘“‘have you been into the conservatory? | They've put in a lot of pink lamps and | ; and | In | there's the most scrumptious tete-a-tete chair you can imagine.” Poor Ethel looked up at Jack, who stood by furious and sulky. ““‘He is only too glad to get rid of me He hasn't the ordinary kindness to rescue | me from this bore. And I have been so horribly amiable to him,” she thought in despair, : “If she likes that popinjay let her go with him! [I'm sorry for her taste, that's all,” reflected Jack. And in another minute Ethel found herself actually seated in the tete-a-tete chair with Dicky, whose | large eves were rolling triumphaotly in the light of the rose-colored lamps. She did not succeed in making her escape till it was time to go home, Jack was nowhere to be seen, and she drove | back in the chill gray morning with the heaviest heart she had known for many | days i “Ethel,” said her mother at breakfast | the next morning, ‘‘did you have a | pleasant time ai the Warringtons't" “Oh, yes, mmmnma, said Ethel, drear ily.

Which was hard on Jack, considering that his own conduct in the matter had been irreproachable. But Ethel was in no mood for justice.

And then, before she knew what had happened, Juck was walking along by her side, pouring out a torrent of indignant reproaches as to her desertion of him in favor of Dicky Carshalton at the Warrington's party. “It is yeu,” cried Ethel, with spirit, { for the unexpected turn of aflnirs restored her courage-—*‘it is you, Mr. Davenant, | | who were unkind, to stand by and let old | | friends be vietimed without striking a their behalf! me to dol ‘No, thank you, blow in Was I to have ant?” “iAnd if you had been trae!” She changed her tone suddenly.

In the opinion of the Sanitary Volun- | teer, the official organ of the New Hamp- | shire Board of Health, there is a great deal of sentiment and many opinions re- garding the use of ice water that vanish when the light of reason and experience is turned upon them. The fact is that jee water, drank slowly and in moderate quantities, constituts a healthful and in- vigorating drink. There is no doubt that jce is a great sanitary agent, and every family ought to be provided with it during the warmer months of the year.

Had Samuel been in full sympathy with the Lord, in the case of Baul he might not have talked thus: but whenever we are in the least degree out of the fellowship with God we are apt to say and do many foolish and sinful things, The fear of the Lord and confi dence in the perfect love of God, is an effect ual cure for all other fear. “And the Lord suid take an heifer with thee and say, I am come 10 merifice to the Lord Rinful man ean do nothing in the way of serving (od apart from sacrifice and atonement; our holiest actions, our very best service, cannot be acceptable to God apart from the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, but the weakest cry or the fesblest servios is made acoeptable through Him %. “1 will show thee what thou shalt do; and thon shalt anoiut unto Me him whom name ur The servant of the Lord has only to move forward calmly and in per fect « in his captain and he is al WAYS Annee that which the Lord should be, t | prevails, and the servant is and Bethlehem carry out His own plans and manage His own affairs in His own wise way When are thus and also obedient His ) and His pur geome uni of the town at A lack r hearts ht thers to the denon i niimed now as it word « abt] SL lying God Wo Comes 0 We paswi ve Lands, ai wil sdered ’ Hers bon # come Gi ifice unto the Lord” very word 1 he was told to and that is always the right thing Jesus Himself ssid only what the r told Him (John xii, 49); Jeremiah and Eaekicl were to speak only the Lord's words Jer.
