came more marked as tjje weeks passed, •nd one which told the ever-watcliful mother that a battle was being fr.ught by her child and oh, how earnestly that mother prayed for heralllicted d:iughte.rl "It is an interesting question," says •ome one, "when a human noul thus finds its way of life hedged, iti to see what course it will pursue. It is more than an interesting question, it is a test question, for the littleness or the greatness of that soul will show itself at this point, and a vast number of lives aro brought to som' such test or trial."

Again he says: "When a soul reaches such a point in life as this, it is met by one uniform and powerful toinptation, riz., the. temptation to sit and brood over the calamity, to shut one's self up from the sunshine of the outer world I and to live in an unhealthy atmosphere of grief and complaint Sometimes the temptation resultB in a simple moping melancholy, sometimes it produces a fierce rebellion against God who allows such unequal chances of outward life."

Mrs. Kyler, fearing that Iluth's great disappointment might cause her to bo rebellious or despondent, put forth every effort in her power to convince Ruth that God really loved her, and allows no sparrow to fall to the ground without His notice.

CHAPTER II.

"MAN'S EXTREMITY IS GOD'S OPPORTUNITY." About three months after the event recorded in the first chapter, Ruth's mother, in order tp lighten expenses, decided, after much pcrsausiou, to runt their iirst floor front, which was remarkably largo, pleasant and well lighted, to be used as an artist's studio. As time passed, Ruth spent much time watching the pupils at their work, and before the close of the first term's lessons had become so interested that she asked .Miss Crawford, the artist, with much fear and trembling, if she might be allowed to join the class.

The reply was all that her saddened, aching heart could wish, but as she tonic her place among them keenly did she feel the contrast betwt.'en herself, with her pencil or brush pressed between her hands, and the graceful, happy girls "near her. -Many times did she feel her cheeks crimson as she became conscious of the curious ^ra/.e of some stranger in the room. Fortunately, however, for her, she was influenced to begin at tho foundation, to see and represent eorrcctly. instead of bein*^ encouraged to paint a few pictures to hang upon tho walls to show her friends, as specimens of her work, when, in reality, more or less and often times the most of the work would be that of the teacher.

Iler progress at first was slow, very slow, indeed, and at many times discouraging. but as the months passed she saw a pew world opening to her view, a world of bea'ity of wliieli she hail never dtvamed. but a world which she, yes. even she. might e.nler, if nothing unforeseen occurred.

Fifteen years have parsed and we will enter the pleasant, south room again. Miss Crawford is not there, neither are there any- pupils, but Ruth is then', looking u:t of the same window as when we first saw her. but with a much ha*p ier, although paler, face. I!"i'.re her is an almost finished picture representing water lilies growing in a river. If we will lo »k out iif the window. too. we shall sec her model. Her brightest hopes have been more than realized. She had accomplished more, much more than she hail thought posslsiblc when she began. She has had many pupils, (tie1 writer of this being among the number), filled many orders, and is now competing for a pri/.e. The conditions are that the pictures must be original paintings representing flowers. She would have preferred faces if the privilege of choosing had bee:, hers. The reward is to he such that she will be abje to assist greatly, if she be the successful one. the parents who have given so much of their timo ami strength to her. and as she works there all bv herself, this petition is offered many times: "O (Jod, may this picture not only bo fin inspiration to others in trouble, but the means of relieving the loved ones so dear to me. Yet, not my will, but Tliine be done."

There are to be five judges, and ono week from this time finds her picture on its way to its destination. It also finds Ruth weak, very weak, from exhaustion. This last great strain upon her vitality, and her previous confining work, are giving her warnings which site can not understand.

With your permission we will now enter another room—a room many miles from here and one in which the judges are deciding in regard to the merits of sixty or seventy flower pieces. The pictures are numbered and hung in the best light possible, and there is a numbered and scaled envelope fastened to each picture. These contain the names and addressesof the competitors, and tire arranged in such a manner that their decision must be according to their judgment. The less deserving pictures aro being taken from their places one Vf one, until at the close of tho first Week fifteen only remain.

These are carefully and conscientiously compared until four others are put aside, later six others have their faces turned to the wall, and so on until at tho close of the second week only tlireo remain. Of these three, one represents sunflowers, another Easter lilies, and tho third, water lilies. Then the merits of these three wero discussed many times, until it was decided that as there was but little difference in the work, the thought expressed and brought out must decide tho question. "And uow, if you please, what object had the artist who painted these sunflowers," said one who seemed to be a recognized leader among them? Each expressed himself freely, and the general opinion was that tho object was to represent nature as perfectly as possible.

The Easter lilies were then pnt to tlie test. Again there was a general expression, but this time opinions differed widely. All saw in them a partial representation of the Resurrection Morning, but farther than this they did not ag-ree. It was then discovered beyond a doubt that this was a copy to a oer-

tain extent of a picture that had been painted several years previously, by a master hand, and a little later it had been cliromoed. The would-be artist had re-arranged tho flowers, and in so doing, because he did not feel and see it himself, had failed to show the one yrand thought of the original.

The water lilies wero then put In the crucible. Not a word was spoken for fully five minutes, then one said: "Wonderful. Do you see? Do y„u the artist's conception? Lixdt at this deep, dark, foul water. I- rum the blackness of sin and the depth of human sorrow, come, as the result of love, light and help from above, a beautiful character. Do you see how it is expressed? The blossoms which have received tho most light aro larger, whiter and more nearly perfect than the others, while the buds are just DRffinnintf to openly respond to its influence. We may not all believe tho statement they make, but it is tho artists thought and he believes it with his whole heart, and I will venture to Ray, without knowing- the circumstances, that these (lowers have in some way been an inspiration to this person, in days of deep distress. "lam ready to make my choice now," said he.

So are we all, I think," said another. An expression was then taken in writing- and the water lilies wero unanimously awarded the prize.

Hie envelope was then opened and the artists name and address read. We will now return to our pleasant south room.

Kuth was gradually becoming weaker, yet she anxiously watched the mail for news of the judges' decision. At last, it had seemed apes to her. their report came, and with it congratulations, and this poem: "O star, on tlio breast of tho river, 0 marvel of bloom una prare.

Did you fall straight down from IIcaTen Out of the sweetest place?

ou are whlt» ».s tho thought of an AMgoL, Your hcart'is stooped in the sun, Did you grow in tho Golden City, My pure and ra liant one*

Nay. nay, I fell not out of Heaven, None truve me my saintly white It slowly prow from the blackness Down in the dreary night.

From the o'.)7e of the silent river, 1 won my glory and grace, While souls fall not. O pout. They ri.se to the sweetest plaeo."

"They did p-et my thought," -aid she, "and perhaps others will see it. too. my dear mother and father. For myself it does not matter, 'twill soon be over."

As was feared, the excitement was too great for her. She sank rapidly and in three days had passed beyond the help of human hands. Vft she lives in the hearts of those who knew her, ami her life will ever be :ni inspiration to the many students who attend the colIe^c and hear the storv of her life.

Who can measure tie- influence of such a life'.'—I.aura I. Ii.irtiett HI Christian KvanarelUt.

A LANGUAGE OF MUSIC.

Tlio ilinn 111 c, rtuin Airs with I lie Iliircri'nt NatitocilitH's. We iy call "music" the lan^uaye of the world, for it speahs us many idioms as there are nations, races and even individuals. One sinirle detached note, intoned by different voices or instruments. will convey as^nany meaning's as there may be cans to hear it. It may sound martial upon the ••trumpet." sylvan upon the "horn." feminine upon the "clarinet." naive upon the "hautboys." sublime upon the "oriran." mysterious upon the "a^olian-harp." prosa.ic upon the "sueet oj^m," and common upon the "banjo." The specific timber of these instruments ami their handling may invest that one tone with volumes of images and poems, to a certain degree uliin among cultivated listeners, and quite contradictory to others. Sweetest remembrance may be recalled by it upon the banjo, tcrpsiehorean inspirations roused upon the street organ, and a chorus of anfjcLs may descend from it upon the worldly cornet-a-pis-ton. The simplest sony, although provided with words, will scarcely ever repeat analogous sensations in the same person, and probably never in a large uudience. in which traditions, associations, historical or national influences, will more or less increase or lessen tlio receptive powers. Adding to this the numerous conditions under which tlio performance of that song may take place—such as the singer's voice, disposition, art and personal magnetism the audience's number and kind the locality, its atmosphere, light, etc.—it is evident that even if the en groa effect may be of a homogeneous nature, ia details it will be quite kaleidoscopic.

The "pibroch," the "Marseillaise," "Die Wacht am Rhein," the "Rakoczy March," speak each its own special language, untranslatable in its real essence. It takes a Scotchman, a Frenchman. a (Icrm.'iu, and a Hungarian to understand their full meaning, although their governing spirit may be valued by everybody. This is. of course, more applicable to national than to cosmopolitan music, which may be also the subject of local, political, or other influences. National music, the source of all cosmopolitan music, is in the same measure attached to language and poetry as race characteristics. tine arts and sciences depend upon climatic, geographical und political conditions. Thus it is a nation's language which generates its musical rhythm its poetry which creates its melody and its temperament, the spirit of its dignity, tenderness, mirth, sadness or flightiness, whichever may express the respective people's national character.—Francis Korbaj', in
