But we make blunders juat as palpable every day of our lives. 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 school many years ago in an Eng lish town. Sneaking of two pupih he de clared that Arthur was the stupid est b>y at figures who ever came under his care, save only one, who was yet more hopeless, being una ble to grasp simple addition and mini iplicai ion.

Mrs. Browning 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 Truih is shining into the dark places ®f the earth, and the song of the Angels is swelling “from star I to star.” wh grope on in blindness ; and our ears are so filled with the I din of worldly pleasure and earth ’ly pursuits we fail lo hear. Thus, “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 be called” who is seek uig Him the only source of life and light. And his divine Ephpbatha falls like sweetest music ou ears unused to hearing. If we walk in the Light then Our hearing will be hearing, “And our 83eiug will be sight” Mbs. Bruce Harris. “ ’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 lessly cu, A Fifth avenne physi cian came and sat by the bed mur muring. “This is too bad too bad,” and racked his I rain to think of reme dies. It was by his order that el c tricity was applied and oxygf n - poured into the Jungs in the vain* hope of preventing the deadly par— ’ alysis which had involved all the rest of the brain, from extending j to the moter centers which con* trolled the muscles of the chest and heart. But the red corpuscles • of the blood were too far affected by the alcohol to be able to take up the oxygen. The breath grew fainter and the heart beat. ,4norc feeble through the night. In the morning they ceased, and tne very doctors turned tearfully from the bed. Hospital rules had been set aside and the mother asked to remain by her child all night. The father who had gone home to care for the baby came ic just after the end. But over their sorrow let a veil be drawn. But even this was not the end for them. There remained not on. ly tin desolate home going and laying away vs the dead but the or deal of a coroner’s jury . It was a poison case, and no doctor could give a certificate. The little form had to be given up to the knife to piove that death had really been caused by alcohol. But no trace of any other poison could be found.
