Brown or the Club-aye, and pay her bills

And what matters il to you, oh reader,
with all these things TO live, and to do,
whether this man or that woman "feels
above you :" whether you have the en-
tree Of this set, or the doors Of that circle
are closed upon you! Of all vanities, of
all ambitions, this one Of wealth and po-
sition seems to us the most piliable, the
most God cOntemned
And what right have YOU to set your
self above another? What unIitterabIe
scorn must the angels flash down upon
the soul who refuses to recognize another
human soul, saying, " stand of, ! am bet
ter than thou"
And what makes you better! Wealth!
social position /! Poor, blind-struck human
soul, what will those trappings and in
sigma of time avail you in score or two
of years! Oh woman woman for
what mess of pottage are you selling
your birthright.
For, after all, this life with its petty
cares and its great sorrows, its WEAKNESS,
temptations, ,andiIs burdens, heavy enough
for the happiest Of us, may be made a
tune that shall sendis sweet melody thro
all eternily-s crown that shall sparkle
with jewels beyond all price or naming.
Then, too, the false cannot live, and
the only possession we can take out from
this world is the True, the Right; and it
is probable no life ever set itself to lhe
right tune, until it calmly surveyed the
end, and seen time in all lis true relations
with elernity-that one great truth we
must all meet. And to you reader has it
been given--this great unspeakabe gift
"to liye," and the picture of your daily

will meet you on the other side, set in
hues that shall never fade. .
Let not the opinions, the scorn or com

God on your side, all shall be well and
so go on with calm independence, the
way He spprovelh, and let every day
place something in the golden treasury

mained in France ill 1920, when Ferdi-
nand took oath to renew the constitution
of 1912, He then returned to Spain,a and
resided at his native town of Arevsllo,
where he had some property from thence
he wrote to his wife to claim his SOM
She refused to send the child. Don
Joaquin went to exercise his paternal
right, but Donna Joaquin returned home
without his child, but after few weeks
he went back to Fon,epelayo, fell in love
again with his wife, and proposed that
they should live together again and say
nothing abou, the divorce, which was
known only to her family and brothers.
She returned with him to Arevalo and
there resided with him until October
30, 1928, when he died from the effects
of fall from his horse. Her son inher-
tied his fathers property, under the guar
dianship Of bis mother, who continued to
reside at Arevello. We say her son, be-
cause, although at the death Of Don Joa-
quinn she had daughter. aged nine
months, the child died shortly after the
death Of its father In the year 1880
she had also the misfortune to lose her
son, and her grief was embit'ered by the
couduct Of her late husbands brothers,
Don Antonio and Don Aran,io de Mon,ijo.
who ordered her to leave their late bros
house, she having no right to call herself
his widow, having by her Infamous con-
duct necessitated divorce. She refused
to leave her house. Proceedings were
insttuated before the Corregdor Of Arev-
allo, Don Joaquin Beneito, who delivered
his sentence on the 10Th of June, 1927,
that whereas divorce had been pro-
nonnced in France in 1918, it had moi,
been annulled by after cohabitation con-
sequenlly, in fault of heirs direct, she
must restore The property of Don Joaquin
de Monlijo to his brothers. Against this
sentence Donna Maria went to the Royal
Chancery Of Valladolid. and after many
months litigation the original judgment
was quashed. "Whereas Donna Maria
de Montijo, and whereas the divorce was
pronounced in foreign country, then
under the rule of usurper, under a
government as illegal as irreligious, and
not recognized in Spain; and whereas
such divorce had been annulled by the
ultimate remorse Of the parties, declares
Donna Maria entitled to the life interest
in the property of her late husband, 10

Now, dates are troublesome things
The French Monitieur Of tile 4th June
last announced that the Empress Eugene
had attained her thirty second year on the
preceding day, and had received The con-
gratulations of her friends on the occasion.
According 10 the official Monitieur, there
fore, the Empress Eugene was born on
the Sd of June, 1926, and according to
the undispuled testimony Of registers and
other documentary evidence, her father
died on October 80, 1923, from the effects
of fall from his horse. These things
doubtless admit Of explanation, but none
has yet been given. Indeed. the French
Gazette de Iribunar Of September 81,
1891, which contains the verbatim report
of this cause celebre, has been forcibly
abstractcd by Imperial ukase from the
files Of that Journal which are kept for
reference in the reading rooms.
