But we make blunders juat as

On one occasion the great artist
of whom it was said “he saw an
angel in every block of marble,’’
was censured by Cardinals Salviati
and Marcello, who complained to
the Rope in these words:
‘•\V’e deplore his incapasity. He
is too old,” and they complained
of insufficient light in The Three
Chaples. VVh«u Michael Angelo
heard of this criticism he replied :
“Your Holiness, the insufficient
light is somewhere else and uot in
The Three Chapels.”
Only a few days since I read in
a magizine article the following
criticism by a parish clergyman
who was teaching a preparitory

says:
“Earth’s crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God,
But only he who sees takes off hie shoes
The prophets ot old were ever
lamenting the dullness of the peo.
pie to whom they were sent, and
Christ and the apostles uttered the
same complaint, declaring that it
was the crossness of the heart that
o> s ured the vision, shutting out
God and all spritual beauty.
And today when the Light

“With hands by the evil stained,
And an ear by discord pained,
We are groping for the keys
Os the heavenly harmonies."
He who came to open the eyes of
the blind and unstop the ears of
the deaf, commands every one "to

his divine Ephpbatha falls like

“ ’Tis true, ’tis true, ’tis pity,
And pity ’tis, ’tis true.”
Hamlet, Act 11.
11l a pleasant litile home in one
of the apartment houses on the east
side of New York sat a happy young
mother with her two children, a
little girl of four years and a baby
boy. The father, who was a small
tradesman, was away taking fall
orders, it being now about the
first of September, but he was ex-
pected home the next day, and with
a glad Iviirt she held her daughter
on her knee and told her, papa
would be home in the morning.
And the little one laughed and
prattled sweetly till the “sand*
man” came around, and as she
knelt to say her “Now I lay me,’
added, “Please Dod tate care of
papa and bing him safe home.”
The mother tucked her up and
gave her a good-night kiss, smiling
to see the eyelids droop upon the
rosy cheeks, then sat down to fin
ish a little dress for her, humming
a happy song.
Meanwhile the train sped over
the rails, bringing the husband
homeward. In the early
morning he landed at Jersey City,
crossed the ferry and hurried with
joyous steps to greet his wife and
children.
The trip had been a success. A
goodly number of orders had been
secu el. There was nothing to mar
the pleasure nf the home-coming.
His wife met him at the door
with uplifted finger. “Hush,” she
said, “the children are not awake
yet Come into the kitchen and let
us have a good talk before Mary is
up.”
He set down his bag and hung
his overcoat on a chair, first taking
a traveling flask from the pocket
and setting it on the table.
“Have you needed that” asked
his wife.
“Ah, no,” was the answer.
“Have been perfectly well, but it
is a good thing to have in case of
trouble. Can do no harm and may
be very useful.”
Then they passed through into
the kitchen and were soon absorb
ed in happy chat.
i How long it lasted they never
knew. It was intertupted by a dull
thud in the dining-room, and look
ing in they saw Mary senseless up
on the floor.
“What can be the matter.”
cried the father, catching up the
little white figure. “See she has on
one shoe and stocking. She was
dressing and heard my voice and
started to come to me.”
“Oh! John,” gasped his wife;
“the whiskey. Look !” she held up
the flask, from which three or four
ounces were gone.
The glitering glass had evidently
caught Mary’s eye, and, childlike,
she had stopped to taste, though
how she swallowed such a draught
no one has ever been able to un
derstand.
The father sank white and
trembling into a chair. The moth
er caught the child from him, and
shook her violently to waken her;
but in vain. The head fell ba< k,
and the arm dropped heavi’y.
“We can do nothing. We must
have a doctor!” she cried,
He staggered to his feet and
reached for bis bar “We will take
her to one; not wait for one to
come,” he said.
The still steeping baby was hasti
Iv given into tho care of a neigh
bor, and wrapping little Mary in a
shawl, they rushed into the street.
At the eud of the block they met a
policeman, who told them the
quickest help was in Bellevue Hos
pital, and thither they hastened.
The child was carried into the
baby ward, and the fight for life
began. All day doctors and nurse
worked over the little form, while
the sorrowing parents looked help

Hospital rules had been set aside

But over their sorrow let a veil be
