THE ANGEL CONTENT.
Ons sees! of His holy ones attending.
The soul In peace or p»!n hath learned to
love;
Ons angel, that from many overbending
Descendcth like a doTO.
In shadow-time or In the morning glory.
In drought and famine, or In feasting days,
When grief is long and gladness transitory,
She hath her song of praise.
Bobed not in purple, she no chaplet weareth!
In kindly services her feet aro swift.
And In her willing hands no gift she beareth,
Herself a perfect gift.
When friends and foes forget, forsake com
pletely,
And Hope, awoary, homeward flies, nigh
spent,
One from the silence elearly calls and sweetly:
"Lore me, I am Content."

MBS. BRADSHAW’S DIVORCE.
GARRAWAY

stood up as young
Mrs. Bradshaw
rose from her seat
at the dinner table.
It had been rather
a quiet dinner, and
he had to do nearly
all the talking. Ilradshaw opened the
door and Mr. Garraway (of Gray’s Inn
place) noticed that each avoided look
ing at the other.
Ernest Bradshaw closed the door and
came back to the table. Ho cracked a
walnut, and, on opening it, threw it
into the fire.
“Bad?” inquired Mr. Garraway
“Yes,” said young Mr. Bradshaw,
violently. “Of course it's bad. Worst
of it is that you never know until you
try.”
“But all the nuts are not bad, Brad
shaw.” Bradshaw grunted. “Any
thing wrong at Whitehall?”
“No. Whitehall’s all right.”
Mr. Garraway owed his success as a
solicitor mainly to knowing exactly
When not to do the wrong thing.
“I want to ask you something, Gar
raway. Do you ever have people com
ing to you to draw up deeds of separa
tion?” ' •
“Oh, yes; pretty often.”
“Well, would you mind being of some
use to me—and to Ellen?”
“Why, certainly. But you don’t
want to be separated? Why, man alive,
you haven’t been married a year!”
“Garraway, look here. We have had
a row—a dispute, or whatever you like
to call it. We have agreed to part.”
On tlie piano in the dining-room up
stairs a chord or two were struck, and
the cigar voice of .Mrs. Bradshaw rang
out.
“You see,” said Bradshaw, “perfectly
jolly over it.” There was a sudden
stop and crash on the piano, as though
the player could keep it up no longer.
“Look here, Bradshaw,”—Mr. Garra
way passed his hand carefully over his
smooth, spare hair—“look here. Call
at my place at eleven o'clock to-mor
row morning and I'll do what is
wanted.”
“Thank you, Garraway.”
• “Shall we go upstairs? I must ar
range with her. ”
The demure, precise little clock on
the mantelpiece in Mr. Garrnway’s
chambers struck eleven. A small boy
entered with a card.
“Thank you, Judd. Show the lady
in.”
Mr. Gibson withdrew with his work
to the outer office, stepping aside at
the door to permit a slim, girlish figure
to enter.
“I had no chance of speaking to you
last night,” said Mr. Garraway, “ex
cepting to ask you to call. But I had
a brief conversation with Bradshaw,
and he assured me that you had quite
made up your mind about the matter.
“Ho is, in this particular instance,
quite right,” she put her lips together
and looked determined.
“And so I am to draw up the deed of
separation?"
“If you please."
“It’s rather rough on me,” went on
Mr. Garraway, with an effort at hu
mor. “Why, it seems only yesterday
that I was his best man, and you and
he went away to Ncucliatel, and we
cheered you as you left Victoria sta
tion. Do you remember?”
“Would you mind telling me, please,
when the document can be drawn?
- “And do you remember your first
dinner after your return, and how jolly
we all wore? Why, you were as com
fortable as anything, until a week or
so ago.”
“What I propose to do,” said the
stem v.-i!irvT hidv. with iust the 8US-
a bad Idea.”
“You think—you think it will work
all right, Mr. Garraway?”
“Oh, yes.”
“It was our quarrel of last week
parted us, and—”
‘Well, will you allow me, as an old
friend, to give you a little advice?
I should advise you to make up this
difference of opinion with Ernest. I'm
told—of course I'm only a bachelor—
but I’m told that all young couples
have their quarrels to begin with, and
they do say—here again I speak, of
course, as a mere bachelor—that the
maklng-up is always the most delight
ful part of it.”
“Mr. Garraway, 1 thought you would
argue in this way, and It is very good
of you. But my mind was made up be
fore I eam« here, and nothing that you
can say will alter it. A woman must
judge for herself in these matters.”
“It shall be put in hand atonce.”
“I should like to leave London this
day week.”
“I dare say,” said Mr. Garraway, with
great amiability, “that that can be
managed."
“There is only one question of a
housekeeper. Somebody must be there
to look after the servants."
“It is there, I think, I can be of some
assistance to Ernest." Mr. Garraway
spoke with genial assurance. "It so
happens that a client of mine is looking
for precisely a situation of that kind."
"How extremely fortunate.”
“She is a good manager. She is a
widow and she has had charge of a
house similar to yours.”
“That capital. As 1 say, I shouldn’t
like the house to go to rack and ruin.
When could this old lady come, do you
think?”
“This—who?”
“This old lady—this widow. When
could she come?”
“Oh, but”— Mr. Garraway smiled
pleasantly, “you are laboring under a
slight mistake, Mrs. Bradshaw; the
lady is not old.”
“Oh, she is not young, I suppose.”
"Well, as a matter of fact, she is
rather young. By the bye, I ought to
have her portrait here somewhere.”
It had cost Mr. Garraway one shil
ling, this cabinet photograph, in a shop
that morning. The shopman couldn’t
tell him who it was; she was an ex
ceedingly pretty girl in demure black,
and the wily Mr. Garraway was con
tent.
The bunch of narcissus at the lady's
bodice was bobbing up and down as
she continued to lo.ok at the photo
graph.
“You see, the thing is to get some
one who would make poor Bradshaw
of tender years, but one who is possi
bly destined for the highest honors,
should be guilty of the highest impro
priety—the gross unprofessional im
propriety, sir—of noticing a matter of
this kind. I am surprised at you; per
fectly surprised at you. Would you ;
like to go to the theater to-night, you
young scoundrel?’’—St. James Budget. I

SELF-DEFENSE.
The Supreme Court
the
Interprets
Law Relating Thereto.
A United States district judge in
Arkausas instructed a jury that
everywhere except within his own
house the law requires a man to run
away and do his best to escape from
an assailant before killing him. The
judge further said that when as
saulted on his own premises but out
side his own house a man must show
his sense of danger by efforts to es
cape before his plea that he killed
his assailant- to save himself from
great bodily harm can be accepted.
This instruction was handed down
from ancient times when weapons
of assault consisted of knives, blud
geons, swords, etc., which an active
man had some chance of escaping.
But it is not applicable to these days I
of revolvers and Winchesters, whose j
bullets no mnn can dodge or outrun,
and the United Statessupremeeour
has sent it to the black-letter lutnbo
garret.
The man sentenced to eight years'
imprisonment by the Arkansas
judge has obtained from t he supreme
court, an order for a now trial under
a new instruction. This new instruc
tion declares that wherever it man
may be, if helms a right to bo there,
and if he hits not himself provoked
the assault, the law justifies him in
standing his ground and killing his
assailant, provided the provable cir
cumstances are such as to satisfy a
jury that ho had reasonable grounds
for believing and acted on the belief
that tin* killing was necessary to
project himself from great bodily
barm.
Putting any further limitation on I
the right Vo kill in self-defense would
abolish it altogether. Arkansas is j
only one of the many states in which i
a man may have to decide very j
hastily whether he shall be tried for j
killing a fellow-citizen or let the fol- j
low-citizen be tried for killing him. j
In these cases, with his attention
excitedly fixed on his assailant, he j
has no time to get legal advice or to
study the necessities of the situation
through the eyes of bystanders.
Court and jury will do that after
wards; and he is under restraint
enough when ho knows that In sav
ing himself from the peril of the
moment he Incurs the
of having to satisfy a
act was pis tiffed by
stances.

She put the photograph down on the
table.
“This luily,” said young Mrs. Brad
shaw, definitely, "shall never conn; in
to my house.”
“No,” agreed Mr. Garraway, sweet
ly; "quite so. Not in your house. Site
will, of course, bo in Ernest’s house.
I am sure that on my recommenda
tion—”
"Do you mean to say, Mr. Garraway,
that you would recommend a person
like this for such a position?” Mrs.
Bradshaw had risen from-her chair and
spoke indignantly.
"Now, Mrs. Bradshaiv. Pardon me.
I can't allow you to speak ill of a client
of mine. I have every reason to be
lieve that she is a well-bred young lady
and comes from one of the best fami
lies. I have no doubt in my mind that
she will make my friend Bradshaw
very comfortable indeed."
There was a tap at the door, and the
smart boy- entered with a card.
Mr. Garraway went toward the door
to receive the newcomer. Not before,
however, he had seen the handkerchief
go to the eyes of the young visitor.
“Bradshaw," ho whispered at the
door, “listen to me, man. Your wife’s
in there, crying. Go and kiss her,
j and make it up."
An hour and a half later Mr. Garra
way sauntered back. The small Judd
followed him into the room and put
some more coals on the fire.
“Mr. and Mrs. Ilradshaw gone,
Judd?" demanded Mr. Garraway.
Master Judd said; "Yesir. ”
“What the deuce aro you grinning
