God for the blessings bestowed upon
us as individuals and as a State dur

Life and the blessings of life are

TWO WAYS DIVERSE.
My neighbor’s daughter weds to-day;
l.o, radiant guests in lair array
Group round the bloom-decked altar
where
In reverence kneel the bridal pair.
(Mv daughter lies beneath the sod;
The tiowers she loved—the golden-rod
And lily—twine about the spot;
Klie heeds them not, she heeds them not.)
My neighbor’s son «atiinds at her side,
in youthful manhood's strength and pride,
Glad with the might of sturdy arm
To comfort and to shield from harm.
(My son is In his quiet grave;
There pansies nod and rosebuds wave
His favorites in the long ago;
lie does not know, he dots not know )
My neighbor sheltered n sls at homo.
Her sure retreat though wide she roam;
(l sit beside u stranger’s beard,
in what chance cheer such may afford.)
Two ways diverse; yet over each
The same blue heavens shining reach:
Though hers the Joy, mint grief instead,
God is not dead; God is not dead.

/T WEN, old girl, I’m In love.”
IT A faint, pink flush crept into
the girl's thin cheeks and made the
pale, somewhat worn-looking,face seem
almost pretty.
••You—in love?” she asked, softly.
II,. .nmnanllltl 1 Q 1 M'tll ll ftll aWltWard,
half-apologetic sort of laugh.
"You never suspected it of me, did
you?” he said.
"No," replied the girl, and her dark
eyes grew strangely tender.
“I have told no one but you,” he went
on. "She wishes it to be a secret for
the present.”
"A secret,” she said. “Why a se
cret?”
"We've known each other such a
short time, she is afraid people will
laugh at us. They wouldn’t understand,
she says.”
"I suppose not.”
"But you understand, Gwen, don t
you? I begged to be allowed to tell you.
I wanted you to be the first to wish me
joy.”
"And I do, Tom. I do, with all my
heart.”
She spoke without a tremor in the
low', clear voice.
"It seems to me I have known her all
my' life, and she feels the same about
me, Gwen.”
"That is because you love each other.”
“I knew you would understand! he
cried, eagerly. "I told her so, Gwen.
I told her all about you, about our
friendship, and all 1 owe you.”
“Was that necessary, Tom?”
"Necessary!” lie laughed joyously,
“Why, Gwen, I have no secrets from
her."
"No," said Gwen, “of course not.”
"I know what you are thinking—she
may possibly be jealous.”
The girl started, as though she had
been struck.
"Jealous of me?” she cried. “Who
could be that?"
"To tell you the truth. Gwen, she was
—just a little—at first. Then I ex
plained to her what a good,true friend
you had always been to me, and how
I bad learned to love you as a sister,
who was so much better, and wiser,
and—”
“And older than you, Tom. 1 hope
you told her that.”
“I've never given it a thought. Gwen."
"I shall be 2!) next birthday. I daresay
I might be. 11) for all you cared. Tom,
tell her that. It will satisfy her.”
■ "She is satisfied. I)o you remember.
Gwen, what I've said to you so often?
1 Men are your friends, not your lovers.”
“I remember. There was something
' about me. you said, something you
couldn't quite explain, which made me
different from other women.”
“Y'es—and which separates you from
their common fate. You're strong, and
self-reliant, Gwen. Y'ou know how to
make your way in the world, and you
want no man's help. I sometimes think
it's that that keeps us at arm's length.
We know that you can do without us,
that you don't need our protection, and
BO we Bill um liwwi wjKiMife ii. IC
too brave for us. Gwen.”
The girl smiled strangely.
"Perhaps you’re right," she said, "but
you didn’t come here to tall: about me.
What is she like. Tom?"
His face kindled.
"Other people cull her charming and
pretty," he said, "hut to me she is the
most beautiful woman iu the world.
And yet she is hardly a woman, hut a
lovely, innocent child, Gwen, and as
helpless as a child.”
"And that you love most of all," said
the girl. "You love to take care of her.”
lie began to laugh, from sheer hap
piness.
"She Is so young—barely IS—and so
ignorant of the world. Life, for her,
is full of dangers. Oh, I must guard her
well. Gwen, if you only knew’ the joy
a man has in the helplessness of the
woman he loves!"
"I think 1 understand," she said. ’’Let
me see her picture."
"How did you know?” he asked, with
a shamefaced smile, and drew from his
pocket a liny leather case.
She stirred the glowing coals into
flame, and knelt on the hearthrug to
examine the portrait.
U was a pretty, commonplace little
face, witli a somewhat affected expres
sion—possibly due to the photographer,
Gwen reflected.
"It’s not a good likeness,” said Tom,
looking over her shoulder, “and, of
course, all the coloring is lost. She has
lovely hair—bright gold when the sun
is on it—and a real complexion, Gwen,
line a young child’s.”
“She must be very pretty."
“I wish you could see her, but you
will soon, I hope. She’s coming to
town, with her people, next month.”
"Mayn’t I know her name?"
"Of course. I’d quite forgotten you
didn't know. It’s Lucy Mannering.”
She noticed how fondly his voice lin
gered on the name.
"Lucy,” she said. "I think it suits
her, and I remember now that you men
tioned her in your letter. She has been
staying with the Harwoods, too. hasn't
she? I know now,” she added, with a
light little laugh, "why you wrote to
me so seldom, Tom.”
”1 was a selfish beggar and I’ve never
asked you, Gwen, how you've been get
ting on. Splendidly, as usual, of
course?"
She smiled a little bitterly.
"it you choose to call it that.” she
said. "1 can always get plenty of work.”
"And you deserve it.”
"Such as it is.”
"Oh, come now, Gwen, you, a success
ful journalist, oughtn't to talk like tills.
Why, thousands of women would give
anything for your position."
“I daresay."
"But not many of them have gi *
your brains or your enterprise.”
"Don’t you think so?”
”1 always said you were bound to suc
ceed, Gwen, when I watched how you
stood up against ail odds, how you
smiled at rebuffs that would have made
other women weep, how you bearded
the editors in their dens and calmly told
them that your stuff was what they
wanted, and how, when they declined
your manuscripts time after time, you
only laughed and declared that your
hour would come some day—do you re
member, Gwen?”
[ "Yes, I remember,” she said, wearily.
"And your hour has come!”
"I knew you would. You are ro cool
and plucky and unmoved. Gwen. Some
times I feel almost afraid of you."
"Afraid—of me?"
She stared at him, with wide eyes full
of pain.
‘‘Almost afraid," he said. "Yrou are so
different from other women. Some
times, Gwen, you are almost unnatural,
you seem so jmoud and strong and in
dependent.”
•'if he only knew,” she whispered to
herself, and in that moment she real
ized the vast gulf tiiat stretched between
her and this man who understood her
so little.
"Forgive me if I send you away now,
she said, presently. "1 have a story to
finish for the Epoch to-night, and it’s
weighing on my mind.”
"Weighing on your mind!” he ex
claimed. “I don’t believe you allow
anything to weigh on your mind,Gwen.”
"Don’t you?" she asked, listlessly.
How little he understood!
The editor of the Epoch had rejected
her last contribution, with a curt note
to the effect that the story was scarcely
up to her usual marie.
No one but Gwen herself knew how
she winced beneath that criticism, as
beneath every rebuff of the same sort.
To her editors and colleagues, Gwen
seemed a case-hardened journalist who
pocketed snubs cheerfully, as a matter
uf course, and showed n commendable
appreciation of her own ability.
They little guessed what agonies of
doubt and self-distrust'the girl endured
at every business interview, at every
post that brought back a rejected manu
script; what bitter tears site shed in
secret; how, at times, she would cry
out in her loneliness and feel afraid—
desperately, hopelessly afraid of the
struggle that lay before her, the sordid,
miserable struggle for mere bread-and
cheese that had been her lot almost ever
since she could remember.
The success that had fallen lo her
share had cheered iter, but it did not
suffice to set at rest the terrible doubt
of herself and her powers that torment
ed her so persistently.
Sometimes, at the end of a more than
nsuallv hard spell of work, her over
taxed brain would suddenly refuse to
respond further to her call upon it. ami
then an awful fear would seize her—
the tear that site had come to the end
of her resources, that her stock-in-trade
of ideas had been exhausted, that site
had. In fact, “written herself nut.”
At such times she would sit at her
desk for hours, wild-eyed and white
faced. unable to pen a single line, won
dering desperately what the end of It
all would be.
And then, all at once, in the midst of
her misery, a thought would come to
her. bringing a light to her tired eyes,
and a flush to her cheeks, that seemed to
transfigure the anxious face and make
it strangely beautiful.
She was not altogether friendless. He
had told her, again and again, in his
boyish, impulsive fashion, that he ad
mired her more than any other woman
in the world; and, though she smiled at
his extravagance, it was infinitely
soothing to her.
He had never pretended to he in love
with her. Indeed, he had hurt her often
enough by his thoughtless, outspoken
comments upon his own and other men's
attitudes towards her.
But—there had been no other woman.
Perhaps, some day—who could tell ?—
he might—he might—Gwen never got
beyond this point. She was proud; she
tried to be proud, even to herself.
It was pride that made her smile her
calmest smile when she was most dis
couraged and depressed; pride that
made iter silent in her suffering, even
before him, and when he understood her
least made it the more impossible for
her to undeceive him.
There bad been no other woman.
Well, that was over now.
“My love to Lucy,” she said, as Tom
bade her good-by that night.
“My love to Lucy," she whispered to
herself, when the door had dosed be
hind him.
Then she began to laugh.
Sho was too proud to cry.—Short Sto
ries.

James M. Barrie, the novelist, has no
patience with reporters who try to
pry into his private affairs. On one oc
casion he was ashed to pen a short auto
biography. At Hrst he refused and then,
when the reporter began to coax him, he
stopped him, tool; up his pen and wrote
as follows: "On arrival in London it
was Mr. Barrie’s first object to make a
collection of choice cigars. Though the
