      [A] According to this legend, Catherine was a noble maiden of Alexandria, distinguished alike by birth, riches, beauty, and the rarest gifts of genius and learning. In the flower of her life she consecrated herself to the service of her Redeemer, and cheerfully suffered for his sake the loss of wealth, friends, and the esteem of the world. Banishment, imprisonment, and torture were in vain tried to shake the constancy of her faith; and at last she was bound upon the torturing-wheel for a cruel death. But the angels descended, so says the story, rent the wheel, and bore her away, through the air, far over the sea, to Mount Sinai, where her body was left to repose, and her soul ascended with them to heaven.

      THE CHARMER.

      "'But you must charm him every day,' said Socrates, 'until you have quieted his fears.'

      "'But whence, O Socrates,' he said, 'can we procure a skilful charmer for such a case, now you are about to leave us.'

      'Greece is wide, Cebes,' he said, 'and in it surely there are skilful men; and there are many barbarous nations, all of which you should search, seeking such a charmer, sparing neither money nor toil.'—Last words of Socrates, as narrated by Plato in the Phædo.

      WE need that charmer, for our hearts are sore
