Nothing so hinders us in what we are doing as to be longing after some- thing else; in so doing, we leave off tilling our own fisld, to drive the plow through our neigbbor's land, where we must not look to reap a harvest; and this is mere waste of time. If our thoughts and hopes are elsewhere, it is impossible for us toc set our faces steadily towards the work required of us.—St. Francis de Sales. The Favorite Flower. One reason why violets are the fav- orite flowers of the world is fhat they belong to sweet woods and dooryard gardens. We can plant, tend and pick them ourselves, make borders for our walks, fringe a brook or star a cor- ner of the lawn with their flecks of deep rich blue. Year after year they will come to remind us of our first planting.—The Craftsman.

And:inthis blue light which filled the room there appeared, com- | ing I know: notrom whence, a thick cloud, pale, smoky, strewn with sparks which reminded me of human eyes. They wavered:strangely, as if moved by some mysterious influence. This cloud rose, melted, became more trans- parent, tore itself into pleces, froze me with fear and cold, seemed to me to be infipite, menacing; and from this vapor there came forth a sound like an angry murmuring. Then the a fragments fell apart, became distinct. Visible to my eyes in the | blue radiance which suffused them, they slowly turned, and took, little by little, forms well known and familiar. From what place do these shadows come, and who are they?~ I asked my- gelf, full of wonder and alarm. __ “Who are we, and whence come we?"” sald a grive voice, a yoice whose sound was slow and cold. “Bethink yourself. Do you not recpgnize us?” I silently shook my head, denying all possiblé relation with these shad- ows. And they reeled, yncurbed, in the air, ag though they were dancing some wild saraband in rhythm with the storm outside: The sillouettes, scarcely perceptible, half transparent, crowded along, nofselegsly, before me. Suddenly I distinguished among them : an old man, a blind old man, holding | Or-d0 you, indeed, hate to live by rep- |, by the waist a woman, aged and bent, who looked at me with eyes full of | reproach, Their rags were covered | with snow-flakes of a dazzling bright- ness, and they spread a chill about them. I knéw who they were; but why were they there?” “Now you recognize us?” ! I kndéw not if it wefe the voice of | the tempest which I had just heard or that of my own conscience; that voice had an imperious which mastered me. “You have seen who we are,” the voice continued, “and the others are also the heroes of your tales; chil- dren, women, and men whom you have tone “What Did They Want With Me?" made suffer for the pleasure of those who read yon...Open your.eyes, look, they are going:to march in front of you, and you can judge how many and how pitiable are these products of your imagination.” Then the shadows passed along. The first were a young boy and a lit- tle girl, like two great snow-flowers, spreading round them a lunar light. “See here, at first,” sald the volce, “two children whom you made die under the window of a house in which {a Christmas tree was shining. You i remember; they looked at it, trembl- ing with desire; and they stayed there, frozen and motionless!” My little heroes passed silently be- fore me, and vanished in the blue ra- diance. In their place an exhausted woman, with a pale face, showed her- self: “This one is the mother, anxiously expected, who, also upon Christmas eve, was hastening back from the vil- lage, a long way off, bringing some poor little gifts for her children, and who fainted upon the road.” I looked at the shadow with fear and pity. And the troop continued to pass. The inexorable voice enumerated the heroes of my sad works. And these hero-phantoms floated before me; their white garments waved; I shivered be- fore the cold which fiowed from those mournful, silent shadows. Their alow movements, and the unspeakable an- gulsh of their vague looks, oppressed me. What did they want with mre? What was the meaning of this sight? The last one, the blind old man, with his rags stiff with sleet, came slowly in front of me, and fixea upon me his lustreless, wide-open eyes. His beard sparkled with frost, and icicles hung at the corners of his mouth. The old woman had the bliss- ful smile of a child; but that smile was fixed, frozen In the unmoving wrinkles of her cheeks.

And I also waited, passionately, with all the strength which remained in my weakened soul. This lasted for a long time, and I |be could not withdraw my gaze from the vision, until I cried out at last: “My God! Why is this? What does all this mean?” Then the slow, passionless was heard again: “Reply yourself to you own ques- tions. Y did you write all those things? Without contenting yourself with real troubles, with the tangible and visible misfortunes of life, why have you invented mew tortures and dold them to people, forcing yourself to.depict your woeful fancles as though they had really existed? ‘What do you wish to do? To destroy the scant remnants of courage still left to men, and to deprive.them of all hope of better things by showing them only the evil? Are you, perchance, an enemy of brightness and hope, and do | you.take pleasure.in creating “the' blackest and the saddest things,- in order’ to add, without' respite, to the voice resenting existence as an ordeal-with- out end?

And Incorporal the spectres trembled; their lifeless eyes were still as cavernous as beford, although the faint ottlines of their faces were contracted by horrible, phantom-like grimaces. The blue phos- phorescent. light wavered under this | silent, incomprehensible dance of the | spectres. A cold sweat broke out upon my body, and my hair stood on end. “They are laughing,” said the pas- sionless voice. “At what?” I asked in a voice arcely audible. “At you." . I “Why?” | “Because of the silliness of your | childish talk. By depicting imaginary | | troubles you wish to awaken good feelings in the hearts of men for whom real troubles are a sight only too common! Reflect! If the miser- able reality fails to touch men, and does not wound their souls, will your idle fancles enlighten their con- sclence? And you think that you can. succeed? And you cherish such a hope?” The grinning spectres continued thelr merriment. It seemed to me that it would never end, that I should see it, filled with terror, umtil the day of my death. The tempest, also laughed cynically, and deafened me, and still the soulless voice talked, and | talked. I strove to escape from the obses- sion. I wrapped myself in darkness, full of grief and rage. And, suddenly, rolling from my bed, 1 was cast head-foremost into a dark abyss, in which I awallowed, suffocat- od by the swiftness of my fall. The pitiless laughter of the spectres pur- sued me. Through the shadows they seemed to gaze at me, fixedly. At dawn I awoke with & violent pain in my head, and a sense of distress: My first action was to seize the pages in which I had described the adven- tures of the blind old man and his companion. I tore them up without rereading.
