When I was eighteen the matron one morning call ed me Into her room and said to me: "You have "been very useful to us here since you ' passed out of child hood, but I am expected by the managers , to get on without help. You are now old enough to be self supporting and must either work for yourself alone or in a home. ' I oc casionally receive a letter from some man desiring one of our grown girls for a wife. I had one of these let- vcia wis uiurmug i rum a young man ha the west, who says that he has a gooa rsrm on which he lives alone, and he wishes me to send him some one for a helpmeet whom ,1 can rec ommend, and he has forwarded let ters recommending him. Let me know If you wish the position.' ' The matron was used to condensing verything she said Just as she had spoken these words. She was a good woman, but was so intimately connect ed with tbe world's troubles that' she could not give much attention to those of any one person. She turned to oth er duties, and I left her to go to my room to think. ; ; : The result of my tearful delibera tions was that I was a few dav later t handed a ticket and what money I .would need on the Journey and took iram lor me west. ; My leaving was telegraphed to my future husband, who was to meet me at the station, 1 1 d rr The Grgatcst 2 It V 1 V. : ,;!

He listened to it attentively and respectfully and when X had finished said: . Y "Has it occurred to you Jthat the man who Is to marry you is in the same position with regard to you that you are with regard to him?" 1, never thought of that" ;'w ; "And do you know that mpny so called love matches turn out very un happily r : - "I supposed.,, I replied, "that it was the forced marriages such as the one I am about to make that are failures." There, is no truer' saying than that marriage Is a lottery. -1 think you have a better chance In yours than those people who, blinded by love, see no fault until a number of them are plainly visible after marriage. Un biassed . persons have recommended this man to you and yon to him. You both trust to them Instead of your own Judgment biassed by love. Tht chances are largely in your favor." "What you say," I replied, "totmds ncouragtng. but it seems to ma that I would rather begin with love vn if I must end with disappointment-" ' v""- "Spoken like a woman." he rejoined. And I would rather begin" without lore and end with love." What a treasure are these people who have, the faculty of lifting the cloud that hangs over us and showing OS the sun shining behind.

He was with me .most of the morning and all the afternoon. He soon ceased to . talk about .my trou ble, leading me into other, paths, though he told the many instances of persons who had made marriage a matter -of. business and found' it a matter of affection. My lover I was certainly thinking the word, mockery that it was had written that my train wpuld land me In the nlgh't at the Inst principal town on my route, and I was to remain there, taking another train the' next morning. When I parted ' with my newly made friend I relapsed into the same miserable condition as before. But I was tired, and that night, though I went to sleep in tears, I got a fairly good rest. This and a bright morning kept me up the next day till I ap proached the last station, where I was to meet "my lover," when It was all I could do to resist a temptation to throw myself from the train. I per mitted every one to go out before me and wished there were more of them. Then when alone I nerved myself for the ordeal and left the car My lover was there waiting for me, extending his hand to assist me down tbe steps. , . ;, .- . . A sudden wonder mixed with a wild fluttering of my heart caused me to pause. Was I in a dream or was I waking from sleep? The man waiting to hand me down was my sympathetic friend.'-'.' -' .
