IN" THE SHELTER OP TIIE FOLD.
There were ninety and nine tliat 6afely lay
In the shelter of the fold ;
But one was out on the hills away
Far off Irom the gates ot gold.
Away on the mountains wild and bare.
Away from the tcnii r Shepheid care.
"Lord, Thou hxst here Thy nicety and
nine;
Are tier not enough for Thee "
Bat the Sheth?rd rnide answer : "This of
mine
Has wandered away from rue ;
And although the ruad 1 rouzh and sitvp,
I go to the deert to find my sheep."
Cut none of the raaso:ued crer knew
How deep were the waters crossed ;
Xor how dark was the night that llie Lord
passed through.
'Ere He trend Ilia sheep that was h st.
Out in the desert He heard its cry,
Sick and helpless, and ready to die.
''Lord, whence are those hlood tracks
the way
TLa: mark out the mountain's track ?"
all
"TIipv wr-re a!y;j fi,r cne who bad cone
"astrav
'Ere the Sheflard could brin; him Utck."
'Lorel, whence arc Thy haa-Ls s rent and
torn !"
"TLcv are ricrced to-n.-ht It m.-.r.y a
thorn:"
And all thro' the mountains, thunder
riven.
And np from the rocky s:ctp.
There rose a cry to the gate of heaven,
"Rejoice ! I have found my sheep!"
And the angels echoed around the throne.
"Ri'jnioe ! tor the Lord brings back His
owa !"
Ton DBlKr.SHIlE.
I was Tom Drake's nearest friend
and coaSJant for twenty years. I
helped him when he began business
for himself, ten years ago: I assisted
him with funds when he was embar
rassed by hard times; I advised with
him when he wa3 questioning hiniself
about Maria Ecascn; I stood up wkh
him when he wa3 married, and his
. TT
onlv boy wears my name, now we
came to be such friends I am cot
able to tell. 1 suppose it was because
we suited each other. Our fiiend.
Lip had no romantic beginning, but
grew wiia our Knowiecga ot eacn
c" :er.
I f aaaot p int out anv distinctive
trait in Toia that held me to him, and
uever supposed him to be more than a
commcnpiace type of a man. In
doub'.edlr be could sav as much of me
As a business man he was tolerably
successful; be did not get rich, but he
was in a fair wav of becoming rich.
and managed his business carefully
and wiselv. I am a plodding lawver.
with a few clients and fewer needs. I
have neither wife nor relative, and
verv few friends. I came into posses
sion of an ample income when I ar
rived at lawful age, and that has kept
me frcm mating any eaort for a repu
tation. When Drake was married to Maria
Benson, I think I was fully as happy
as he was. I knew Maria before Tom
became interested ia her, but when
he told tne that he was in love with
her, I began to studv her as carefullr
as if she were about to become my own
partner. I saw some traits in her
character that I was sorry for, but
judging her as a whole, 1 thought she
was an excellent woman.
Tom was always open-hearted with
me, and 1 knew that be was not blind
to her imperfections; but, as he re
marked, he did not expect to find per
fection. From the fact that ther were
totally unlike in many things, I took it
for granted that they were made for
each o'.her. I am not sure now, how
ever, that that is a safe ruie to lollow
Tom always admired her piety, and I
thought, it a good point myself. "o
matter how worldly-minded we men
may be, and careles as to our own re
ligion, or rather want of religion, we
are anxious that our children should
be subject to'properreligiousinCLaTce,
and we expect them to obtain it from
their mother. Tom was not a very
regular church-goer' and I may as
well confess it neither was I. But
Maria was content in her attendance
and observance of churchly duties. In
deed she was one of the foremost
among tbe young ladies of the
church. She taught a class in sabbath-school,
another in mission school,
and was on nearly every church
committee that required a woman's
presence.
Tom and I discussed this phase in
her character, until we were both
agreed that it was just what a wife's
ought to be.
Maria was very fond of parties,
hops, pic-nics, sleigh rides, and all that
manner of enjoyments that seem to
come under the head of "innocent."
I am sure that I don't know why they
are thus called. I am not responsible
for tbe classification. If I were to de
cide from recollections of my youth, I
should say there was as much deviltry
in everything as one carried there,
and no more. I have listened to ex
cellent sermons preached by actors
on a stage, and have seen some very
good (and bad) acting done ia pul
pits. I have seen people warm
hearted and neighborly to each other
at dances, and heard some vicious
back-biting at church sociables. But
I do not pretend to be posted in these
matters nowadays, and know that
Maria looked upon round dances as
sinful.
I do not know why it should be so,
but I believe it is a rule that wives
do not endorse their husband's friends,
Maria did not quite do me justice from
the first I think she would have
been glad to create a rupture between
Tom and me", but she soon found that
aa impossibility and she desisted.
But ehe never quite forgave Tom for
confiding in me to ihe extent be did,
and I am sure I did not blame her.
I tried to persuada Tom not to open
bis heart to me on matters that con
cerned only himself and his wife, bat
he insisted on telling me everything,
as he had always done.
I am confident now that Maria under-estimated
Tom before she mar
ried him. Women are not apt to
give business men too rnuch credit
Most of their ideas of business are
derived from the armr of clerks with
whom they mingle, and certainly one

yer to bo surprised at hearing of one
more. I think I puffed away at my
cigar vigorously and kopt a wi.se
silence. Tom was silent too, for
some time after his disclosure, at least
he turned to me with a question.
"Wtiat would you do, Kd?"
"Do voor best to remove the trou
ble." "I've been doing my lest for over a
vear, and things grow worse all the
time."
"You are sure you arc not light
ing a creature cf your own imagina
tion?"
" Juite sure." '
"I can't advise you Tom."
We sat and scioked quite a while
longer, but neither spoke until Tom
threw away his cigar with a sigh,
and bade rae gocd-night. He had
not given me any clue to his troubles,
and I wa3 glad of it I think I con
gratulated myself upon the fact that
I had do wife, and then dismissed the
subject from my mind as much as I
could.
Seeing Tom during the next few
days, I carrfully avoided all allusion
to his home matters, aad so did he
I might have put it down to some
trifling misunderstanding belwee i
them, but I had a call from Maria,
and the trouble at once became a
real thing. She was ill at ease, and
I did not help her to become less so.
At last she asked if I had been talk
ing with Tom lately. I replied that
I had seen about as much of him as
usual.
"Have you had any confidential
talk with "him? she asked.
"All our talk is confidential," 1
answered.
"Did he say anything of home
troubles?"
He has given Sic no particulars
cf such troubles."
"But he told you that we were not
happy?"
"He said something that gave me
the impression that you were not quite
happy."
"Hut be ui J not tell you tne cause
of our unhappiness?"
"He did not."
lnere was silence between us lor
several moments. At last she seemed
to have braced herself for the pnrpos
of her visit
"We are not suited to each other"
she said, with spasmodic energy.
' We ought never to have married."
She looked at me as if waiting for
a question, but I remained silent
"We are unlike in every thing,'
tie continued. "I feel as if I was
bthg dragged down into noth'njness.
Tom eats, aud sleeps, and works. He
takes me to nothing scarcely, and
when he does he goes to sleep in a
corner, until I waken him to bring mr
home. I am sick of my life, aad 1
want to change it."
Still I made no suggestion.
"Toiu thinks a woman ought to
feel herself in Paradise if she has but
a child to care for. I semetime.
think I hate the boy. I know that
he is exactly like his father, atd I do
not care for him."
She stopped, as if expecting me to
say something; but as I did not, she
went on again.
"Tom ;an have his boy, aad I
want to go back to my father's. I
have spvkcn to him and he will take
me."
She stopped again. I neither en
couraged her to continue or to be si
lent. "I want yon to speak to Tom," she
said.
"I decline to do anything of the
kind," I answered, emphatically.
"You think me entirely to blame?"
she remarked questioningly.
"I think you are entirely to blame,"
I answered.
"You never thought me good
enough for Tom," she said, rather
sneeringly.
"Whatever I may have thought is
of no consequence; but I am sure now
that you are not good enough for
Tom."
"Well," said she, "that point is not
worth disputing over. I have made
op my mind to separate from him, and
I thought he would rather hear it
from you than through another. It
yoa decline to tell him, I must send
some one else to him "
"I do decline to be the bearer of
any such intelligence," I answered.
"1 see you have made op your mind
in regard to your future, and I do
not take it upon me to advise or warn
you; but as I believe there is a just
God ia Heaven, so I believe the time
will come when you will beg on your
bended knees, - and with a broken
heart, to have these days blotted out !
of Your life, and your pravers will i
only mock you with their misery."
Her face grew pale as I went on, I
and I was almost sorry that I had al-;
lowed mrself to epeak as I had done,
but I felt that I wouid be unfaithful
to one of the truest friends that God j
ever gave to man, it 1 remainea silent, !
or less earnest
"I think you will be sorry for this
when you know all," was her re
mark, aad she went out of the room.

to take a stroll down the main street j
of tbe city, when the boy was sent to j
oea, ana we startea out at cignt at a
-low pace as was usual with us; but
before we had gone many squares,
we began to hurry with others
towards a bright light that was
ahead of us. A handsome mansion
.vas on Cre. The owner had filled
his house with invited guests, and
the orders of the dancing-master had
been rudely interrupted by the ser
vants' cries that the house was on
ire.
High breeding is not much diJr
ont from no breeding when life is ia
danger. The upper-ten in the parlors
vere not less selfishly anxious for
number one, than were the servants
ia kitchens and bails. The fire had
broken out in the lower rooms, and
the stairways were first to be choked
with flames. F'rom the second story
the people were released by ladders
until the fire had become master
there. A few people were still in
the upper rooms when we reached
the scene, and a long ladder was
raised to them. One after another
they were helped down until there
were but two to come, and just as
they' were preparing to step on the
ladder it was licked by the flames,
and in a breath was burning in tnro.
A great shout went up from the
throne, and we looked for soma one
to go to the woman's assistance, with
the expectancy that some one ia the
crowd would surely be equal to the
occasion. Just then a maa came
near us who seemed to know the
women.- I caught the names, and
hoped Tom did not; but he had.
He turned to me: "My God, Ed! it's
Maria!"
Before I could say a word, he had
thrown his coat into my arms and
was lost in the crowd. I heard a
eneer, and saw mm cnmumg up tne

which excited his cunositY. He pro-

The lower bone of the hind legs,
joining the knee with the foot, called
by naturalists tbe tibia, is about 33
inches long, about 32 icches around
its largest end. and is heavy enough
to load an ordinary man. The parts
of the back bone "forming the joints
are from ten to twelve inches across;
and one bone alone, belonging to the
foot, is 23 inches around. All the
other bones are of like tremendous
proportions. When the bones form
ing the pelvic arch are placed in po
