CALVIN IN SEARCH OF Wire. In spite
Of the distressed state Of his pecunary affairs Cal
vim was at this time looking for wife to help him
to bear his burdens. Calvin in love is indeed ne
cullar phase of his history. He had now arrived at
the sufficiently mature age of thirty; and as his
imagination had never been very susceptible So in
the business of choosing help,rnate he was guided
wholly by motives of prudence and Convenience
In fact, he left the matter entirely to his friends lust
as one would buy horse any other thing, giving
them instruction to the sort of article he wanted
Writing to Farel on the 10Th of May 1889, he saws:
Il will now speak more plainly about marriage
know not 1t any one mentioned to you her whom
wrote about before the departure of Michael; but
beseech you ever to bear in mind what seek for in
a wife. am not one of your mad kind of lovers
who doat even upon faults when once they are taken
by beauty of person. The only beauty that entices
me Is that she be chaste, obedient humble, econom
zeal, patients and that there be hopes that she will
be sollcltous about my health. If therefore, Won
think 1t expedlent that should, marry, besr YOUR
self, lest somebody else anticipate YOU But If YOU
think otherwise let drop the subject altogether
From another letter to Farel, dated the 9Th of
February, 1910, 1t appears that young German la
dy, rich and Of noble birth had been proposed to him
Both the brother olthe lady and his wife were anx
lous that Calvin should espouse her. The latter.
however, scrupled on two grounds; because the la
dy was unacquainted with French, aud because he
was afraid that she might think too much of her
birth and education. If the marriage was 10 take
place, he insisted that his bride should learn French
but on her requiring lime to consider of this Cal vim
dispatched his brother and friend to fetch him
home another lady, and congratulates himself on the
escape he has had. lie speaks in high terms of his
fresh choice.
1t appears, however, from another letter to the
same friend, dated on the 2st of June, 1910, that
this match OF which he had thought so highly, was
also broken off After these failures, Calvin exnress-
es doubt whether he should prosecute his matri-
monal project any further Soon afterwards. how
ever by the advice of Bucer, he married Odeette or
ldelete de Bures, the widow of an Anabaptst at
strasburg, whom he had converted Y Ide-
eie had several children by her former marriage, in
whom Calvin seems to have taken some interest,"
BY Calvin she had only one child, son, who died
shortly after his birth.-Ljfe Of Calpia.

THE LEGISLATURE.

In the Senate, Monday, the liquor bill was further
amended and passed In its present state, it merely
changes the existing law to change the word pr
au9us wherever ii occurs before the word liquors. for
'ntoalcaing to allow of licenses to be given bv the
County Commissioners, with the appreciation of the
Seectmen of Towns for the sale of such liquors, for
medicinal and manufacturing purposes only; and to
make imperative in the courts put voators of the
law under heavy bonds for their good behavior in add-
ton to the penalties in force on second or any subse-
quent conviction This bill will undoubtedly be accent
able to the House; and think that we NAV pretty
safely calculate that can now discern the final shape
which the matter is to assume so far as this legislature
is concerned.
In the House Of Representatives, the motion to re-
consider the vote of Friday last by which the House
refused to remove the terms of the Court now held at
Concord to Lowell ANA Cambridge, was rejected after
being debated through nearly thewhoe of the morning
session. BY yOteOf yeas g. nays ls1, so that Con-
cord will still remain shire town of Middlesex Coun

Company was then taken up and passed to third read

City Council.
