JOHN DAKEY & SONS LUMTURF,* WELLINGTON MILES, LONDON,

There was a sad a story told is the Press recently, so we ever remember to bavo read. It filled but a few lines, but it held a whole parable. It concerned only the lives of ordinary people in un obsouro village, but if it were grazed on brass and set up in a public place of every town in Ludia is might strike home to the careless and the cruel, and save so inany "broken hearts.

out-rotring her pride out and groying her life out in that isolation in a British community that can make the wastes of tho Aretia scom kindly in comparison.

And who are the people who do these things, who kill souls is surely as the manrderer that takes corporeal life? Ans they really innately eruel, heartless, malignant, and ruthless? Not at all. Nothing would hurt them more than the suggestion that they would wantonly mis. judge or injure a fellow human being- they are often reputable Christian people, Elling honourable positions, and occupy.

What is, then, the explanation of this auto of local slaader that makes ita in nocent Ishmales in early every town or village? It is this-hat narrow sur. roundings mako narrow minds. In their microcosm of an orbit they knew no pro portion--as gata in their hillock, know nothing of the mountains that shadow it. And thus losing proportions of life, people icso proportions of mankind. The social minnows of the outside world are tritans I nowcones shizes but our scale of in a country place jealous tritons, too. another colour sha la suspect among them. Their touchstones become infinitely little, their canons incredibly small. A slug gish life makes a jaundiced vision-and such a vision locks with a yellow sye on the life of the neighbour.

This is the story-it will lose nothing by a stark way of telling it, not need we repent locality and names. The wrong door has paid and the wronged have claim to privacy;
