us He RICH"

Many a sigh is heard, many a heart is
broken, many life is rendered miserable by
the tel rbe infatuation which parents often
mani(ests in choosing a life companion for
their daughters. How is it possible lor hap

but does that afford any evidence that he will
make kind and affectiouate husband!
Is he rich !'-Ye his clothing's purple
and fine linen, and he fares sumptuously
every day; but can you infer from this that
he is virtuous

a GOOD MOTHER.

THE CHOLERA

About month ago, says London correspon-
dent Of the New York Recorder, November Cd.
the sPasmodic cholera made its appearance in
Edinburgh. In that city and its suburbs there
have been reported $50 cases; log OF which have
ended fatally More recently there have been
some deaths from the same cause in England
We have reason to be thankful, however. that
genuine cases of Asiatic Cholera in the south
have been comparatively few, and that there Is
evidence that the maIady is spreading Most
OF those which have occurred in this district have
been on the river Thames, or in Its immediate VI
entity. You are aware, perhaps that weekly
report of deaths IN the metropolis IS regularly
published, with the average number for the same
week in a series of years. 1t is remarkable that
during the last few weeks the number of deaths
has been below the usual average Last week
ending October 2Sth, the deaths in London and its
Suburbs were 1907, whereas the average for that
week is 1854. The number e2orted as fatal cas-
e. Of cholera was "a. The number OF births In
the same week was 1411, making a majority of
births over deaths of 3C4.
