They were so gay, I supposed it made me feel more lonely than I oten did I spent minute like one stupefied then rut up, pinned on my collar again, went straight down to my father's library, and put the letter into his haud. Ho read it, and looked up to me with a smile, as I hung over the back of his chair. "Well," said he, "I liavo heard something of this before." "Who from, father," I whispered. "From Lawrence himself' he answered.

"Well, father?" "Nell. Jenny?" vViiai shulf I do, father dear?" 'i think it I were you, I should go to the parlor and tell the young man what he wants to know." "But what must I tell him, father?" And I bid my crimson face on liis shoulder. Ho smoothed back my hair, and said, gently: "Jenny, have already told him that if he wants my-littlo daughter, I am willing to give her to him, because 1 believe he will make her happier than she is here. Xow go, Jenny!" I clung to him a minnto, gave him a squeezo Mid a mute, little kiss, and slowly went up to the parlor. Lawrence Heath stood alone by the window, but as I entered, he turned' quickly, came forward, and took both my hands.

Our best -frtends ere at home. Those who love us best, who would do most for us, who ai'e most interested in our lives and would weep the bitterest tears were wo to die dwell under our own roof, cat at our own table and sleep under the shadow of our own protection. How, then, should we feel towards them and treat them? If thej are our best friends wo should be theirs, and if we are their friends we should show it. Concealed friendship dees not do us much good. If a mine gold is on our farm and wo know it not, wo are not much better off for it.

Many people have a strange way of showing their friendship to the members of their own home circle. They are exacting, cross, surly, fretful and hateful in many ways, and all this to friends they really love. They mean no harm, they mean not to break the crd of friendship, or mar its sweet symphonies but somehow forget thai home friendship should be treated more delicately and kindly than any other, becauso it is better, and more immediately affects our happiness.

But woman's ia comparatively a fixed, a secluded, and a meditative life. Sho is more the companion of her own thoughts and feelings; and if they aro turned to ministers of sorrow, where shall she look for consolation?

AVell, I heeded my good father's words, and did learn all I could, so when wo all come to our graduating exhibtion, the girls looked the loveliest, on the stage, but I carried off the ribbons of honor. After we went homo I had but a small part in the gay life they led. At first people invited me with them, but it cost so much to dress four girls, that mother would aay. "Jane don't care about going, and she's so plain, too." And the new dresses were bought for tho other girls, while people, seeing I did not go out, soon ceased to invite me. Eut I had my books and my music at homo, and 1 really cared little for society.

So I contentedly curled and braided the girls' long hair, and trimmed their hats, and did up their laces, and, in return, they gave me plenty of parity worn dresses, which my fingers contrived to make nearly as good as new, so I could present a good appearance at church, or the few other places I went.

No word or act of ours should disturb it. What is so dear to us and so essential to our happiness, should be preserved at all expense. Home friendship is our richest treasure below tho skies. It is better than gold, rubies, lands, fortuno, learning, fame or power. Nothing of an earthly nature can compare with it.

Then we should treat it as our best treasure, and be true to it, if wo are false to everything else Every member of the home circle should bo a faithful friend of all the rest and show his friendship by friendly words and acts. llnral World, St. Louis.

Looking in that direction she observed a man crawling into her room, closely followed by another.
