Because people arc* old tlicy ]<ave

broken up some homes. The youn^r

voice that keeps him couching iii'ie -n
minutes afterwards. "Boys! stop
that racket!" as though any boy that
ever amounted to anything- in the
World did not begin by making a
racket.
Indeed, there are ehiMren who owe

of a home is an aged father and
and an aged mother, if the procc-ss of

Besides that, if your old parents
are hard to get along -with now. you
must remember there was a time
when they had hard work to get along
with you. V.'iieu you were about live
or seven or ten or twelve years oi'
ago what a time they had with you!
If they had kept a written, account of
your early pranks and misdoings, ir
would make a whole volume. That
time when you gave your little sister
a clip: thai time when you explored
the depth o: a jar of sweet things for
which you had no permission: that
havoc* you one day made with your

when. instead of being at school, us

and many a time did you imperil
your young life in places where
you had 110 business to climb or
swim or venture. To get you through
your first iifieen years with your
life and your good moitds was a i'e.:ri'ul
draft upon p;irental fidelity and
endurance.
Indeed, it may be that much of tins
present physical and mental weakness
111 vour narents mav have been a re
f.iili of your early waywardness. You
made such large and sudden drafts
upon the bank of their patience tiiat
yon broke tlic bank. They were injured
iu being thrown while trying to
break the colt. It is a matter of only
' oiumoii honesty that you pay back
to the m some of the Ions? suffering
winch they paid to you. A father
said to his son: "Surely no father
ever had as bad a boy as I have."
"Yes." said the son. -my grandfather
had." It is .about . the same from

l'.eed to be patient with children,
and cliildren dutiful to their parents.

i heavy a trouble you put u^on her
when, by misdeeds, you wrench that
name from its lii^h significance! To
haul it down from your mother's forehead
and trample it in the dust would
be criminal. Your father's name may
not be a distinrruv-hed name. but I
hope it stands for something irood.
It may not be famous, like that of
Homer, the father of epic poetry, or
Izaak "Walton. the father of . lujrlinir.
or J'jscliylus. the lather of tragedy.
or Etheiwold. the father of monk--.
or Herodotus, the father of history.
or Thomas Aquinas. the fa-lie" of
moral philosophy. or Abraham. the
father of the faithful, but your father
it t ....
has a mime m :? small cuvie as precious
to biiii as theirs in a larger
circle. Look out Low you tarnish irl
Further, the recklessness anil dissipation
of a young m:ui are a cause
of parental distress at a time when
the p;irent is less able to bear it.
The vicissitudes of life have left their
impression upon those parents. The
eye is not as elear as once, nor the
he;imig as acute.nor the nerves as
steady, nor the seep us strong, and
with the tide of incoming years
comes the weight of unfilial behavior.
You take your parents at a great disadvantage.
for they cannot stand as
much as they once could. They have
not the elasticity of feeling witb
which once they could throw oil
trouble. That shoulder, now somewhat
bent, cannot bear as heavy a
burden as they once could. At the
time when the machinery is ?rettiu?r
worn out you put upon it the most
terrible strain. Perhaps it is a good
tiling1 that cruel treatment by a child
abbreviates a parent's life; for what is
there desirable in a lather's life or a
mother's life ii' its peace is gone.' Do
you not think death is something
beneficent ii' it stops the mother s
heart 1'rom aching and her eyes from
weeping. and says: "You need nor
bear the excruciation any longer. Go
and sleep. I will put the defense ol'
a marble slab between yon and tiutt
boy's outrages. Go now where the
wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest!" At the departure
of such mothers let the music be an
antliem instead of a dirge. "While
you and I hear no sound, yet there
are at this moment tens of thousands
of parental ^ hearts breaking.
All care was taken with the boy's
schooling, all good counsi -'-.given.and
the equipment for a sober and carnest
and useful life was provided,
but it has all gone, and tin.* foolish
son litis become the heaviness of Ins
mother.
Much of the poijjnaney of the parental
.irrief urises from flit* iiijrralitude
of such behavior. Y\*h;-t an undertaking
it is to conduct a family
through the ailments and expo sures of
early life! Talk about the sldll demanded
of a sea captain commanding
a ship across the ocean! Thai
requires less skill than to navigate
a young soul in safety across the infantile
and boyhood years. The
sicknesses that assault, the temptation
that entrap, the anxieties that
are excited! Yotmg man.you wilinewr
know what your mother has suffered
for you. You will never know how
your father ha^ toiled for you. You
have been in all their thought*, iu all
their plans, in all their prayers, from
the time your tirst breath was drawn
to this moment s respiration. Y/hat
they could do for your health, what
they could do for yum- happiness,
what t hey could do lor a our mind,
what they could do for your soul,
have been absorbing questions. To
cam ;l ilveiUlOOli ior you Jias not always

father. B y what fatigues of body
and what disturbances of mind. and.
lon.sr years of struirirle in which sometimes
the losses were greater than
the .trains, he ,^ot bread for you. nay
fng for it in the sweat of his own
brow and the red drops of his own
heart's blood! He looks older than
he ouirht to look at his years, for it
has been work. work. Many a time

What is rendering him unhappy on
this night of all others, when the "woman
she believes he loves has been his
willing companion for so many hours,
when doubtless she has given him
proofs of her preference for him above
all men?
Sinldenlv liftinir his head. Sir Adrian
becomes conscious of the face in the
window above, and a thrill rushes
through him as lie recognises the form
of the woman he loves.
The scene is so calm, so hallowed, so
! full of romance, that both their hearts
beat madly for awhile. They are alone;
any one still awake within the house is
1 far distant.

At last. However, ms Jieair compelling
bim, lie speaks aloud.
'Tlorencc. you still awake. when all
the world is sleeping?"
His name falling irom his lips touches
a chord in lior breast, and wakes her
to passionate life.
"You too." she savs'in a whisper that
reaches his strained ears. Then- seems
to her a subtle joy in the thought that
they two of all the honwehohl are
awake, are here ta'.kinjx tojrether alone
in the pale lipjbt <>f the moon.
Yet she is wron^ in ima^iui.n^ that
no others are np in the house!, as liis
next words lei! her.
"It is not a matter of wonder in my
case." he it*s] ?ri.Is: ";i few fellows are
still in the Miioking-room. It is early,
you know?not yet three. Jtut you?
why are you keeping a lonely vigil like
this?"
'"The moon tempted nie to the window,"
answers Fioivnce. "See how*
calm she looks riding: majestically up
there. See"?stretching out her bare
white arm untji the heams fall full upon
it. and seem to change it to purest
marble?"Joes it not- make one fee] jus
it all the world were being bathed in
its subdued glow?"
! A pale tremulous smilo widens her
lips. Sir Adrian, plucking a tall pale
I lily growing near him. flings it upward
i with such an eager aim that it alights
I uoon her wimiow-sili. She sees it. Iler
finders close upon it. t
"Fit emhi^n o* its possessor," says
Adrian softly. an<l rather unsteadily,
i "Do you knoV of what you remind me. i

j mediieval .saint cut in stone?a pure an!
gel. too good. too far above all earthly
[ passion to enter into it. or understand
( it, and the grief that must ever attend
j upon it."
lie sneaks bitterly. It seems to him
j that she is indeed cold not to have
guessed before this the intensity of bis
love for her. However much she may
have given her affection to another, it
still seems to him inexpressibly hard
that she can have no pity for his suffering.
He gazes at her intently. Do the
, mystic moonbeams deceive him. or are
there tears in her great dark eyes? 11 is i
heart beats quickly. Once again he re- I
members her emotion of the past even- |
ing. He hears again her passionate |
sobs. Is she unhappy? Are there
thorns in her path that are difficult to
remove?.
".Florence, once again I entreat you
to confide in me." he says, after a
pause.
"I can not." she returns, sadly hut
firmly. . "But there is one thing I must
say to you?think of me as you may for
saying'it?I am not cold as you seemed
to imply a moment since; I ;im not
made of "stone; and. alas, the grief you
think me incapable of understanding
is mine already! You have wronged
me in vetir thoughts. 1 have here," she
explains with some vehemence, laying
the iiaml in which she still hoiiIs' the
drooping lily npon her breast, "wiiafc I
would gladly be without?a heart."
"2sav," says Adrian hastily; '"you forget.
It is ho longer yours, you have
givfm it away."
Tor an instant she glances at him
keenly, while her breath" comes and
goep with painful quickness.
"Yon hnY8 no right Vj w*y go." s!h?
murmurs at last.
'"Xo. of course not: 1 be? your pardon."
he says apologetically. It is
your own secret."
"Thorn is no secret." she declares !
nervously. "None."
"I have offended you. I should not
have said that. Yon" will forgive me?"
he entreats, with agitation.
"You are quite forgiven:" and, as a
token leans a little further out of the
window. ami JOOivs clown at hmx wiin a
face pale indeed, hut lull of an unutterable
sweetness.
Her beauty conquers all hid resolutions.
"Oli. Florence," lie whispers in an
impassioned tone, "if I only dared tell |
you what?"
She starts and lays a linger on her |
lips, as though to enforce silence.
"HusliI"' she says, in trembling accents.
"You forget! The hour, the
surroundings, have momentarily led
vou astray. [ ought not t<> have spoken
with you. Go! There is nothing

"Stav. I implore you. for otic moment.'1
he cries: but she is firm, and
presently the curtains are drawn close
