The Filings of 31sptoii was as quiet
a village as can be. There were few
houses in it; and the congregation
that gathered every Sunday at the
parish church came chiefly from the
farms that were scattered broadcast
Otar the surrounding country.'
The vicnr was the Rev. Herbert
Gardner, and be Wa4 tha happy father
of come half a dozen children, the eld
eat of Whom, Mattie, was a charming
girl of twenty. There was little soci
ety in t^e viUagb, hnd ^IfilttieV’ chief
ideas , of the world at large , were
drawn from the occasional visits she
hmde'fo a relative who lived in the
neighboring county town. Slitl,
though sbe’was homely and unsophis
ticated, there was none of that effect
ed simplicity yon so often see in girls.
She was a frank, fearless, outspoken
girl, fall of life and spirits, and never
so happy as when rambling about the
old vicarage garden, pioking baskets-
fol of roses for some sick boy or girl
and carrying with them sunshine into
some darkened home.
And in such .works of real love and
charity the last few years of her life
bad been niaihly spent.- Her father
called her "hiB curate;” and, as the
liylngwosasraall one, she, was the
only curate he bad. ,u ,
Mattie had been free as yet from
jjstjrt disease," though a neighboring
8qoirp’s,8on bad paije several, awk-
IbMgb Mattia quite recognized the
idaeDt bb paid her, she nevet for
^ moBjent,regarded Jiim in any other
lig^t than as a friend, and remained
h'ewl^pefdffiBy, iieart-whflle. Tbie
had happened when she was eighteeP
$ iftdnifegsilMr on loiootbly
enough, and at twenty she was still
happy in her .uneventfol lot.
'' But the smooth run of Kfe^ wheels
was interrupted at last and the wheels
were jolted out of their usual track;'
for about this time there came to the
village a yonng surgeon who was look
ing out for a good opening for prac
tice, and bad determined to settle
down here. As a matter of coarse, be
and Mattie often met in the houses of
the poor, and, although not a word of
love passed between them, people be
gan to associate their names together
and to speak of what might buppon
as a certainty.
One day when Mattie was, aa usual,
among.it her roses, a servant came to
say that Doctor Robertson has asked
for her fatuor, and, a9 he was from
borne, for her. When she entered the
room with her basket of roseB on her
arm, the doctor might well be ex
cused if he wondered which wns the
fairer—the rose in the basket or the
rt83 with the basket. If snch thoughts
passed through bis blind he qnickly
put them BBide, for he said:
“I came to 03k Mr. Gardner if he
would step down to old Silas Jones’,
who is very ill with fever. They are
very poor, and any help yon could
give them fvould be of more use than
medicine.” .
'Papa i8 from home,” she said,
"and will not return till to-morrow.
But I will take them some beef tea
pud port, if you think that would be
good for him:" 1 " ■ 1 ' -
Nothing could bo bettor,” said the
doctor. “But you must not go there
yourself for fear of infection. I am
going past the house and will take
them myself if you will give them to
me.”
“No, thank you, doctor,” said Miss
Mattie. “I never shirk my duty nor
delegate it to others, so I will tuke
them myself.” -
“Anyway, let me walk with you if
you are £oing now 'and we can talk
about' the <jase aa. we'go.”
In a few minutes the beef tea and
*tbef Wine were! ready add Mattie sal*
Eed fdrth with F the doctor. And this
was the way they talked J about fhe
case: , .•moo -nr ■ ',i
“It’s a beantifbl day, isn’t it f”
“Glorious t” said Mattie.
" '‘What has beeomd of yon in the
CrdriidgS lately? I-jihadtoseeyou
frequently, but now yon iiVe never’to
he’acenII-i vt!- ,
Minnie bns not been wClf:lately, so
I have staid at home on her miscount.
It is 1 pleasant to know that some one
misses m'e,” She said laughing.!
“I miss yon a grdat'deil, Mias Ma.-i
tie—almost ns mndh^ if not quite: as
much as your own people do.' This
is Jones* Cottage; so now let mo take

“No, iodee’d; I shalVgo in myself,”
said Mattie. -n«-i '■>■ -i- -
“No, decidedly no^ said the doc
tor. “It can never b<e:yonr’duty to
rush into unealled-for-dsnger. I am
obliged to see these people^ so let me
take tho basket in.” 1 ! * 'A
From that day it oegan to dawn on
Mattie’s heart that there was one man
who missed her when she was absent
and wbu tried to keep : her ont of dan-f
ger. "* ' "‘bin ■
And little by dlttlk this thought
grew bigger and 'took *ri6ot, until there
came a sort ofhchotttj'it, which said.
“I miss him tooii'i If wish h^ 1 did not

:I And from 1 that day,:ftberdwaS less

shy' resetve»in- tier interootuhe -with
the doctor. And- dometimee Doctor
Robertson did, not know , what, to
make of itv und one evening) he«u
“What hhve I done to 'vex ycto*
Miss Mattie?” - . Im-...
To which ahe replied, “Vexme?
Why, nothing! of Course 11'Whatever

“My own stupidUy, I suppose^” re
plied be. "I should be very sorry to
vex you, Miss Mattie.”
“Then don’t talk about it, else you
will,” she tiiid.
“What a lovely rose that is 1 Would
you miod giving it to me to show me
that you are not vexed?” said the
doctor.
“There are plenty on that bush,”
she answered. “You eau take as
many as you like.”
“But won’t you give me that one?
I am going away for a fortnight, and
it will bo a keepsake—if you will give
it to me. Do, please.’
“If yon really want it you shall
have it,” she said, as she took it from
her bosom and gave it to bim.
And be, aR ho pinned it on bis coat,
said, “It will remind me of a rose even
fairer than itself.”
“For shame, Doctor,” said Miss
MSttie. “I will;not stay to hear such
gross flattery’’—and away she ran to
ward the bouse.. - ,1/..
Shako hands first,” be cried. “I
am going to-morrow, early. I-rnay
get smashed np on the journey, so I
should like to part friends. It is a
long way to Manchester.”
She glvo him her band, ssyiDg,
Good-bye, Doctor Robertson; I wish
you a pleasant journey."
He hud been gone about a week,
when, as Matth) was comii g down the
street, if street it could be called, the
doctor's housekeeper was standing at
tho door with a paper in her band.—
When Mattie drew near, tho old w .-
man cried out, “Laws a massy, Miss
Mattie, but do’ee just read this paper.
My owd eyes binna so good as they
oncost was,” and the old lady held
out a crumpled newspaper.

The suffering in Germany for lack
of employment is great, and the natu-
r.i’ gain in population is uboat 500,-
000 a year. Under snub circumstan
ces,several German statesmen are con
vinced that emigration is inevitatoble,
but they have began to argue that thh*
great stream of peopl?. pouring out
better be utilized for t,he benefft of Ger
many than in enriebipg America,
England, and many other oountries
all over the world. But colonization
has not yet been favorably looked up
on by the German government, whose
aim is the concentration of its powers
within its own compact domain.

Do not pity yourself. Self-compas

of self-respect. Do uot nurse your

Some men never accomplish any
thing in life, because they do not
rightly husband their time. To know .
the art of improving each minute and
taming every honr to good account,
Is to hate a fortune already within our
reach. A man who knSw the value of
time, once published the following
unique advertisement: “Lost—some
where oh-the streets, yesterday, two
golden hours, eactf studded With six
ty diamond minutes. Thw finder need
not retard them, is they can never be
of any mpre service to me.”
Couiitibg'hp the cost of building
the tower is often misunderstood.—
Our Saviour tells us, in tlim beautiful
parable, tbit Vlbatf ought to sit down
and settle the question whether he
bos enough money to finish the tower
before bp begins to build it. But
What tower'is it? Plainly, he means,
by man’s unassisted aid to build a
tower that will reach to heaven. That
ii to'say, in a few words: Can you de
vise a,plan to save yourself ? If you
think so, try it; bat remember, the
btaQding mast be finished, it mast
take in eternity as well aa time, or it
is a failure. Can your corporal’s
guard of soldiers meet your soul’s en
emy with a legion at bis bidding ?
