-I'd like to sell it back to you for a dollar." The young woman was looking at the girl thoughtfully, pityingly, but presently she turned her eyes to the wrap, which she had unrolled. "I guess somebody must have worn it,” she remarked, with a laugh; "it certainly has that appearance." "I wore it nights," admitted the girl. "When you went out after dark?" "When I was in bed. It was warm and soft, and I liked it, and I couldn't wear it any other time. Isn't it worth a dollar to get it back? Seems like it ought to be worth something to somebody." There was a moment of hesitation. Then the young woman pushed the garment away and left the room. "Mother," she said to the elderly woman she found in the library, “the waif, that I gave my old wrap to the night Harry made me so angry, is here." "Well?" returned the elderly woman, inquiringly. "I'm going to order the carriage and go to her home with her," asserted the young woman; "perhaps I can be of some real help." "I should think you had given her enough already," suggested the elderly He how to raise turnips successfully. found out-"Just take hold of the tops and pull." Being young, he wished to marry, and sent 34 1-cent stamps to a Chicago firm for information as to how to make an impression. When the answer came it read, "Sit down on a pan of dough." It was a little rough, but he was a patient man, and thought he would yet succeed. Next advertisement he answered read, "How to double your money in six months.' He was told to convert his money into bills, fold them and he would see his money doubled. Next he sent for twelve useful household articles, and he got a package of needles. He was slow to learn, so he sent $1 to find out "How to get rich." "Work like the devil and never spent a cent." And that stopped him, but his brother wrote to find out how to write a letter without pen or ink. He was told to use a lead pencil. He paid $1 to learn how to live without work, and was told on a postal card to "Fish for suckers as we do." MODERN FOOTBALL.

I'm awfully sorry," and in five minutes she will be doing the same thing and rattling off the same formula. An over-issue of paper dollars; they become quite valueless. The superficial readiness to forgive comes under the same category. I once read a letter in which the writer apparently inflicted an injury upon his correspondent. He closed it glibly as follows: "I know you will resent this, but I forgive you freely beforehand!" Of course this coin was counterfeit on its face. Forgiveness and apology, from sinned-against and sinning, must stand for positive sympathy with the other party, or they really become affronts. Forgiveness is a sort of self-blame too; you blame yourself for not having forgiven before, and it is the lack of universal sympathy which lies at the root of both transgressions. You find yourself out of tune like a violin and you proceed to screw yourself up to the proper pitch.-The Whim. AN ALLEGORY. Edwin Markham. There is flying through the world the story of a builder, a foolish eye-servant, a poor rogue. He and his little ones were wretched and roofless, whereupon a certain good Samaritan said in his heart, "I will surprise this man with the gift of a comfortable home." So, without telling his purpose, he hired the builder at fair wages to build a house on a sunny hill and then went on business to a far city. The builder was left at work with no watchman but his own honor. "Ha!" said he to his heart. "I can cheat this I can skimp the material and scamp the work." So he went on, spining out the time, putting in poor service, poor nails, poor timbers. man. the When the Samaritan returned builder said: "That is a fine house I built you on the hill." "Good," was the reply; "go move your folks into it at once, for the house is yours. Here is the deed." He The man was thunderstruck. saw that instead of cheating his friend for a year, he had been industriously cheating himself. "If I had only known it was my house I was building!" he kept muttering to himself. But in a deep sense we are always building our own houses. Each one dwells in the heaven or hell of his own making. I care not what his temples or his creeds, The soul of man is cast. CONUNDRUMS. What is the difference between an honest laundress and a dishonest one? One irons your clothes, and the other steals them. Why is a shoemaker like a true lover? Because he is faithful to the last. Why are good husbands like dough? Because women need them. Why are postage stamps like bad scholars? Because you lick them and put them in a corner. Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all. ABSOLUTE HEALTH.
