May 26, igog. THJ at rest about that letter. My very heart shrank as 1 thought of the bitter words in it. Surely, if Jessie had read It she never could forgive me. Her mother gave it to me one day. *1 opened it to see if it was anything of importance, as Jessie could not.

Jessie dees not know of it; how 1 always loved wuat sweet woman." "There's Emily Garde,' said Janet, as again, after lea, she sat on the porch. "And?she's coming in. I didn't think she'd have the face to." Emily it was. however, and a very bright face and lively greetings she brought. She removed a paper whicn surrounded two flower pots. "Oh!" exclaimed Janet, in the delight of a true flower. "That's a?a " "Calceolaria. One of the finest new varieties. 1 uruuguu u iiuuie v?m. ?..*= a peace-maker." "A peace-maker?' "Yes, tnough I don't know that I needed to, for you didn't really know you had a grudge against me." Janet colored a little. "But I must tell you my story. Just before I went away, 1 was at Miss Vale's one day, and she gave me a little crimson geranium for you. Well, on the way home 1 dropped it. It was smashed to pieces. I felt dreadfully, and didn't want you to see it until mother had tried her hand on nursing it right again. It looks about as well as before now.

I didn't tell any lie, fcr I said it was from Miss Vale, which was the truth. So hero is the crimson geranium, and I hope I may have the comfort of feeling as though I had made up for things.' Janet affectionately patted her friend's shoulder, giving her aunt at the same time a beaming glance. "I uon't think it needed any malting up." Then with a smile, as she took in more fully the glorious tinting of the calceolaria: "Oh, Emily, don't you want to smash a few more of my plants?"?Exchange. FOR INKY FINGERS. A girl I know has made a wonderful discovery, which she thinks all other schoolboys and schoolgirls snould know, too. "It's so needful, mamma," she says. "All boys and glrl3 get ink on their fingers, you ?vnow." "Surely they do, and on their clothes, as well," said her mother. "I can't get the spots out of my clothes, but I'm sorry they get there," responded thA eirl "I irv vorv horH not tn Riit - ?J J I can get the ink spots off my fingers. See!" She dipped her fingers into w?ter, and while they were wet she took a matoh out of the match safe and rubbed the sulphur end well over her ink spots, one after another the spots disappeared, leaving a row of white fingers where nad been a row of inky black ones. "There," said the girl after she had finished "isn't that good? I read that in a houseKeeping paper, and I never S PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOU !

THE BOYS. There is nothing in the world so well worth looking after as the boy, and there is no being in the world so much neglected as the boy. The attitude of the world toward him is loo nearly expressed by the mother, who said to the nurse: Where is Johnny? "He is out in (he yaid." "What is he doing?" "I don't know." "Well, go and see, and tell him to stop it." We chaperon our girls, and not too carefully; but we leave the boy to choose his associates and his environments without much advice, and with very little guidance. Girls are naturally winsome, gentle, companionable, and they win their way, too, and are welcome in our homes, but I do not know of many homes where boys are invited. About the only door that swings with sure welcome to the boy, about the only chair that is shoved near the fire especially for the boy, about the only place where he is sure of welcome, is where you do not desire him to go. It is about the hardest thing in ihe world to get hold cf a boy?to get a sure grip on hira. i rememDer a tatner, i once Knew, wno had spent most of his life being a companion for his son.

FOUND OUT. A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect. No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes Barre, Pa., Vvrites: "I used to drink strong cofTee myself, and suffered greatly from headaches and indigestion. "While 011 a visit to my brothers I had a good chance to try Postuni, for they drank it altogether in place of ordinary tvncc. Aiier using rosium two weeks I found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion. "Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left ofT and Postum used. "I observe a curious fact about Postum used among mothers. It greatly helps the fio<w of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness. ?T u ? * * uuu iivuurc 111 gctuug servaiws 10 make Postum properly.
