When the point comes as it usuall: does when a promise “not to tell” is required, the confidante can express a desire to disclaim any such responsibil- ity, It is better, however, to divert the trend of though before that time comes, In addition to the inadvisabllity of taking advantage of a sympathetic listener in the confiding of troubles, there is generally a change of heart afterwards which makes the one con- fiding regret having been so outspoken. To keep one’s own council, even under penalty of being considered uncom- mlfi?lume, is the better choice of evils. ‘Those who are easily stimulated to confidences should “watch their step” when with friends whose attitude is over-persuasive in regard to their mak- ing of personal revelations.

This is the safe course to follow.

And yet, I never see the asters marching, shoulder to shoulder, under the woods and over the hills, without remembering that the red man knew them, too, gave names to them, perhaps. I never see a thin, lilac spiral of smoke rising from some eountry house where a woman conjures up the nii of fire against the genii of the first f:usty ‘morning, without thinking of the campfires of the departed race, or the smoke rising solemnly from long plpe of the savage. The feel of corn kernels in the hand, the rime of frost on a pumpkin's ripe side, the rainy sound of & gray squirrel jumping into a leafy bough—he knew them all, as we know them now.

RUTLEDGE'S HOME, AS It is pleasant to read about the ladies of Charleston, 8. C., during the difficult days of the Revolution, when their city was in the possession of the British under Lord Rawdon. They were the wittiest of the witty, and the jests they made at the expense of ‘ht: invaders wounded as deeply as lets. 'l'l:al soclety of the Britishers was some they could not avoid, but they took pains to exact a toll for their pany. Mrs. Anna Elliott was walking one day in a garden with an English officer o | Doted for his relentless persecution of those opposed to his political views. “What flower is this, madam?” he inquired, pointing to a camomile. ~“The rebel flower,” she replied. “And why is it called that?” “Because it fi es most when trampled upon.” A British officer ordered Mrs. Sabina Elliott's poultry houses to be plundered. Later she discovered an old muscovy drake which had escaped the plunderers ‘wandering about the premises. She had the bird caught and sent it gofl.hnm to the officer by a servant on orseback who also bore this message: “My compliments. In your hurry you must have overlooked this fowl.” Mrs. Robert Brewton, a native of Ire- land and having real Irish wit, angered her country’s enemies on more than one occasion by her verbal shafts. ‘When she came into Charleston from the country after Gen. Greene, American commander, had won several successes, an English officer asked her about the condition of things in the out fons. sir,” he replied, “all nature smiles, for everything is Greene!” This bon mot procured her an imme- diate order to quit the city. ‘The American ladies customarily ‘wore deep mourning in token of their grief over British occupation. One day when Mrs. Brewton was walking in Broad street an enemy officer joined her just as she was passing the house of Gov. Rutledge who had been compelled to leave the city. She at once paused to tie a piece of crepe torn from her dress to front railing of the house. ‘‘Gov. Rutledge’s home, as well as his cynical friends, should wear mourning for him,” she said.
