Life is hut a tangled skein, Full of trouble, toil, and travail, Knots that puzzle heart and brain, We must study to unravel: Slowly, slowly Rending; lowly O’er our task and trusting wholly \ Unto Him, wltos loving hand Helps us smooth each twisted Strand. In our hands at early morn, And at night when da. kites-lingers, Still the distal)’ must he borne. Wtitle tlie thread flips through our [fingers, Lightly, lightly, Twisting tigtly Colo-s that shall gleam out brightly When the fabric feels tho strain Os misfortune, grief, and pain. He who lack of sk’ill of thought Is iii awkwardness betraying, Will the lines of grace distort, By the friction surely fraying Thread so tender. Fine, and slender, Stands accused a spin ofiemler, And himself alone must blame For the knots that cause him shame. Some may wind a silken thread Soft and smooth and beautiful; Others lias; may hold instead, Or the coarse and shaggy wool: But if ever Our endeavor From the stains of sin to sever, We way weave them bright and fair In tlie robes that angles wear. Life’s a complex’skein indeed, Full of trouble, toil and travail, Store'then human help we need All its mazes to’unravel. Slowly, slowly. Bending lowly O’er our task, and trusting wholly In God’s love, we patience gain As we wind tlie tangled skein. The Scottish [Banker's Dilemma. COMPLETE in two chapters. Mr. Du IT, the worthy and respect ed agent of the Central Rank at Tolkirk, was startled hy his teller, James Hamilton, coming to him t<> say, just as the banker had signed the last official letter, before pro cel ding to Irek up the safe: “I am sorry to say, sir, the cash appears to be one hundred pounds short.” James was very pale as he spoke, and despite his efforts to prevent it, his voice trembled. A stranger could not have told whether the youth’s agitation was the result of fright or guilt. Mr. Duff knew him too well to let the latter alternative dwell in his mind for even a moment; hut the lad’i excitement was somewhat infectious, and it, was with just a little throb that he replied: ' You’re joking, Jamie.” Mr. Duff leaned back in his chair and nibbled the feather-end of his quill as lie looked in the lad’s face. ‘T was never more serious in my life.** “It is some mare’s-nest, depend upon it," said Mr. Duff in atone that partly reassured the poor fellow “Have you been very busy at the desk to-day, James?” ‘That is the mystery of it, sir; wo have not been busy. Hardly three pages of our cash-book r.re filled.’ ‘A hundred pounds! Hm! larri going up-stairs to dinner. In the meantime, check your summations and your cash, and hy and-liy I’ll come in to loc.i up the safe with ye.’ The teller went from the banker’s room to the outer office with a very grave face. Mr. Duff’, who lived with his family, as is customary in Scotland, in the very commodious house attached to the hank, sent his letters to be copied by tho junoir clerk, and then went leisurely up stairs to linner. Mr. Duff’s was, for a man who does not object to permanent-resi dence in a providencial town, a very easy and pleasant mode of life. His work was not hard, nor were his responsibilities very heavy. He had a pretty nnd comfortable home in an old-fashioned country town, and although his wife lay in the church-yard on the brae hy the river-side these ten years, still he had two of the prettiest girls in Tollkirk —Minna and Mary Duff (besides Jenny, the married daugh ter, who lived in Edinburg), whose delight it was to make his life sunny and happy. He was naturally— being known to possess private means, and on account of his official capacity as the dispenser of \ discoun'a and eustpdiun of tlicj neighborhood—n mao of some im portance in Tollkirk’s best society. j He was magistrate anil farmer as j well aa bankei; on 1 on Sundays,, for many a long year, lie bad stood beriming hchinil “tbo plate" at the entrance to the‘nnld kirk.’ Every body knew bint, and be knew every- 1 body; and nerbaps nobody respect ed him the less because lie pretty ; well knew to within a pound or two what, every ratepayer on bis side of j the county was worth, financially.; He took life very easy, as I said: j making no updtio fu-s when an ac- j cororaodation bill was presented : tohim.if heknew —ns bo was certain to know—the pedigree and progress j through lifeof drawer and indorser. He was respected too by- bis Edin burgh employers ns a man of pru rience and sagacity, who never made bad debts, never troubled them with applications for rise of salary or transfer of agency—whose books always stood the minuteßt inspec tion, and who, speaking generally, wanted no favors from them. Thither granted favors, by occasional invita tions to visit him at Tolikirk, where there is unsurpassed salmon fishing, besides magnificent ‘links’ for golf, and where the local distil lery yields a liquid of more than local reputation. The city-birds were not slow to accept such invi tations, Mr. Duff being over a tumbler of toddy the best of com pany, and generous in the matter of horses and fishing-rods, The chief inspector of the bank came of'en enough to woo the fair Jenny , and tool: her away with him one summer day to the general bereave ment of Tolikirk. Mr. Duff did not burry over din ner on the particular afternoon no which I write. When he went up stairs lie did not give a second thcughWo James Hamilton's pjrfr face, but q lietlv set I led himself in his arm-chair, after doing justice lo his simple repast, lo read for the second time the report of his own recent yreat speech at the parochial board.given at length iri theTolkirk Herald, the fine roll of his own somewhat improved—spoken sen tences seen in black and white, com municating a pleasing tense of com placency and importance as influ encing public opinion. It was j nearly seven o’clock before he re membered that lie had not yet locked up his safe, and that his clerks were probably writing below for him. He was surprised when lie opened the office door —eidinj to the hall of bis bouse—to find Hamilton still bending over bis cash-book with an expression of j deep anxiety- on his face, at d bundle j of bank-notes lying on the desk be- j fore him. ‘What, James, still in a fog?’l.e asked cheerfully as he came in. ‘Not found your difference, eh?’ 'I am a hundred pounds short, sir, without a doubt.’ Hamilton liml toiled through every entry over and over again, had counted and recounted his bundles of notes, and now had a j very’ sharply defined fear in his: heart, and a vision in the back ground of his imagination of nj dearly beloved old mother waiting j for him at home, who was ill able to bear the responsibility of such a loss—if loss it should prove to I be. 'A mare’s nest, I’ll be bound,’ Mr. Duff said, good naturally, taking Hamilton’s place before the j cash-book. Very carefully ami with a sharp eye lie went over the i entries; very carefully too he went . over the cash, and recounted it; | but only to find that Hamilton’s! words were too true. The cash was 1 undoubtedly one hundred pounds short. ‘I think we had better sleep over it,’ Mr. Duff said at last, looking at his watch. ‘The difference will turn up in the morning, you may depend upon it.’ Then the cash and books were carried to the safe, the safe and the office closed for the night. Poor Hamilton lay awake nearly all night thinking over some prob able clue to the whereabouts of tbo missing money. Never before had he left the bank with such a dread on his mind, for lie felt certain lioi had gone over each item of the day, I that'lie had not over-paid any one to such an extent; pud ho knew that on him devolve.l the respon sibility to make good pny spell de ficiency. Ho hardly spoke to his mother while he ate what she called his ‘mined supper’—-spoiled by three hours’ lofi<( Waltiicr'iiv the oven; nor could she get from him all through the evening, a hint ot tlie cause of his trouj’le. She guessed, and hinted that | crimps Minna Dull’, 'tho little tlirt,’ hud something to do wish his gloom; hut his reply was equivalent to a snub. ~ p i He was hi tho office two hours before .official hours on tlje follow ing morning; hut no trace of tlm missing money could be found. During the day, all the ou.-tomer’.s win had on the previous day been [laid large sums, were requested to cheek thiir payments; but when four I’. M. arrived and,the cash had ! again to bo counted, t the Imlnnct still showed one bundled pounds short. If tlie money had been paid away in error, t.o man had been paid away in error, nip man had been honest enough to return it. Then, for the first time in tho his tory of the Toltkirdg a deficiency in tlie cash had to be reported to the head office. Hamilton became nervous, not being altogether cer tain that the authorities might pul suspect him of having appropriated the money and from very n»rvuus ness was guilty during the next few days of several small errors in his cash dealings, which confirmed him in the belief'that he had paid the money to some unscrupulous risen! who did not mean to own it. It seemed an age, although in reality baYcly » month WV p»w«A, Lefore a note from Mr. Tail, the I clieif inspector [Mr. Duff's son-in law] set the matter at rest. ‘ln con • sidenrfiWf ~u;6 iioie 1:1",, adrnirufil.e mode in which the busi ness < f the brai.ch at Tolkirk lias hitherto been c'oHcuHed, the Di rectors have agreed to wipe off the deficiency in cash, which it may In hoped will yet turn lip arid lie r- - credited; but in doing so i! must hr firmly kept in view that, the Di rectors hy no means establish the present case as a precedent, and must, remind the gentleman wlm haR charge of the bank’s cash at Tolkirk that at no future time will the Directr,rs be disposed to relieve him ot the responsibility attaching to his office. ‘There, Jamie; take'f/mt to your mother,” said Mr. Duff kindly, handing theoffn'cial note to Hamil ton. ‘I thought IVter would man age it’ [ref -rring tn his son-in-law, the inspector]; ‘hut "wo rnaon on’ c:iriny*’Stiid the banter, relasping into broad Rbo'Cb/’to pot the re proof, if sucH it might be called, in the gentitest form to spare the Lid’s feel! p.‘ ' There were tears: of reli-if in 1 lam’: 1 ton’s eyes as- lie read tin note. ‘That is treatment, sir; I was afraid they would roup [sell by auction] me rrrtd toy old iirotlierout ii’lil/W. ‘Roup ye? I couldn’t spare ye, lad.’ Then' tho youth went, home to his mother, jubilant, a burden lift ed from hnn. Rut the next evening, after busi ness hours, Hameltoti’s face was whiter than ever. His hands were trembling as he fumbled over hi?' cash, and 'cast’'and ‘re-cast’ the ong columns of figures in his cash hook. It was marko.t-day, a busy day, and large sums had passed into and out of his hjnds. To his horror, he found his cash three linn deed pounds short! lie had not the courage on ibis occasion logo to Mr. Duff’s room with his plaint. Rnt tho bin tei saw at once as he passed through 'the office on his way up-stairs that something was wrong. ‘You are late, Mr. Hamilton. ’ (Mr. Duff never in a general Way never called James ‘Mr.’ His doing ; so now implied miesgivings.) •Yes, sir; but I thiriK I wont be long;’ his lip* felt parched from i excitement. ‘Are ye ready tolocK up the safe with nit? 1 ‘X'>t quite. If you are in no hurry,sir, perhaps we can Jock up when you come down.’ j ‘Very well.* i Mr. Duff went upstairs; hut on this occasion lie did not linger over j his meal. When he came down i hidfnn hour later, Hamilton was j not ready to luck 'he wife, lie was silling loi King into space his bend ; resting on bis hands. ‘Have you balanced your cash i now ?’ Mr. Duff asked with ju>t a perceptible edgy ofunnoyuhce in h> tone. ‘No, sir. I differ three hundred pounds,’ ‘Over.or short ?’ 'Short, Sif!’ ‘Mercy on us! This will not do. You must, hesiij- yourself and -t-and find it, Lhave to go out, to a-meeting 10-mght.” Tlie bantu spoke sii roly. Jlainilf on once more, under Mr. Duff's eye, nervously went over Ms figures at d counted Ids cash. Tin deficiency could in no way bo ‘ ac counted fir. ‘This is terribly awkward, James.’ There were tears in th» youth's eyes ns uttered : - Y:s sir and it will drive mo mad.’ When Mr. Duff return fiom Ids meeting at eleven o’clock, Hamil ton was as far from peace as ever I’iic younger clerks had gone away Again (ho hunker and ILin.iltoit went over each item together—in vain. ‘We can’t report this to flic head office, whatever happens,’ quoth Mr. Duff grimly. What’s to he done, sir ? •Find it 1’ They looked blankly in each other’s faces. Roth men went to bed with heavy hearts; nor did tin spaivli next day throw any lighten tlie mysterious transaction. Mr. Dufi'-c.iuUl not Bring himself to re port this second dcfii ii nc.y to his head otlici; and the only alterna tive left was to refund the a mom t from bin own priviAcg' TMs as it may he iniiiatni d, he did vftj’ reluetuntly; and for tho first time in his i xperier.ee ho watched, the younger men, and [ii rhaps he trust ed teller too, with just a faint and “irrepressible glinum ring of suspi eion. A mistake of ti,is sor t might happen once; Init to happen a sec ind time at so short, an inti real, made him uneasy on - t'bcr matters than mere ioss of money. He h d a framework of malm, any and glass omdo for Hamilton's nrsl<, so tlml one could come near the cash ii future 1 u Ih in lion biros: If. Ant! so, w ith what grace ho could sum mon, tend with many grave war mings, Mr. Ruff paid the abort mon -ey; having, an he said, to ‘grin nnd jhcttr it.’ For a week or so il Rigs worked well under the new arr ingment; hut lor the third tone lie was des tined to see Hamilton poring ovei Ilia bool s long'after bank hours, this time to hear on inquiry that the luckless hid was slurt by* no less'an arriniiilt than five hundred pounds! Had the ‘shrewd, quick witted James Hamilton, tiller ten years of faltfiY! set vice, H-conie sud denly dull ?. ‘This fs beyond endurance,’ the hanker said sharply, as tbe fact was communicat?:! to him. ‘lt is most strange,’ replied Hie helpless teller, f. eling thafttife fates were agaii st him. ‘Tt is gum, sir.’ ‘Then you mftft find it. I ear. no lot g r I* responsible for your blunders. Here is no less a sum than rune hundred pounds in le.-s than six weeks to he accounted for. Many a one has linen sent across tlie sea for less.

I must leave the. place.’ j*lr' Duff was looking at him with wry keen eyes ns this was sobbed out. ‘Leave Tolkirk ? Understand; Mr. Hamilton, that you dare not leave Tolkirk before this matter is cleared up.’ For the greater part of the night i the men sat up searching; hut j when the morning came they were I as far from the mark as ever. Mr. Duff, much to tho surprise I of customers of tlie bank, next day j ‘took over’the cash himself, and rather awkwardly from want of practice became Ida own cashier.

In a hook written by Rear Ad miral Werner, of the German navy a strange story is told of the way in which many years ago, in 183 G, t French man-of war went down with all hands on hoard in West Indian waters. The ship hud heen in cum mission for two years on the Anti! <" station, and duringthe whole o liie ti oe her captain, who is lie--- lit.--1 -,s an incarnation (f cruelty, h.nl x-'t'eised his ingenuity 1 i i tor'iii'ii!ing in every possible way l"''h ihi odicers and men of hi* «? w. - well lord lie sueeceded t'i it to" lives of ail on board had in en re. dared a burden to them, while the captain himself war Htated with -in inleoi.-tyof hieh pnii'/ <d whle.ii was soup, to be given. Orders at. length came fir the ship to return home. V,t long after (he anchor had been weighed i became evident that a heavy spinil was coming down on llie ship, and't!ic* captain dirieted the officer of the watch to shorten "sail. The orders were given but not a man moved. Again the orders were repeated, lire time l.y the captain bin self; but still not a man moved. ‘•This is mutiny,” cried the rap tain,' and then a hundred voices answered: “Wo will not shorten sail.” In vain the-the terrified captain appealed to the officers to surport him. They stood silent, and neither threats nor promises availed to make man dr officer move, save only a few who were noted as spies and favorites of the captain. A few minutes more and the squall struck the ship. In a moment the vessell was thrown upon her beam-ends. '"Cut away the mast!" shouted the captain; hut still not a nan moted. In another minute however, the rigging was carried away the masts went hv the board, and thus reliev ed, the ship lighted herself. Then the long supp-owed rage of the crew ’brrtke forth, and, rushing aft, they • eiz Tthie captain. A few minutes more end' he would 1 have followed the rigging, hut* the first lieutenant, going below, opened the door of the magazine and fired his pistol into it. There was a loud report, and the ship was no more. An hoar afterwards an American vessel pass ing over the spot picked up one of the crew, who told the story nf what had happened, and died shortly afterward. The Friend of Delicate Ladles.
