Wisconsin contains curiosity in
whom some Snowman would find q
fortune. 1t is young lady with snow
white hair and pink eye brows. HcI
complexion is very white, and she can
see in the night as well as the day. The
complexion and hair are those Of al
Albino, and are easily rcconciled to
Natures whims; but the pink eyebrows
are a little too much for US. Perhaps
they are pink eyes?

If ever a man deserved q divorce
from the marriage tic it is William M.
Hill, of Chicago. He deserves it
more than Chicago men generally DO,
and it is said they all deserve it. He
lived with his wife just one month
During that time she beat him with a
bunch of door keys, and left his bed at
2 o'clock in the morning to walk the
streets. Ifhe interfercd she would, she
said kill him. He did not interfere, but
left her and went to q hotel to live.
She visited him in his room there,
again uttered threats against his life,
and threw two water pitchers at him.
This last straw broke the camel IS back,
and he went to the Courts for relief.

declared that pecuhiary aid from the

Uncle Joseph's will.

ooh. Miss Benton"' said Lulu,
"Wc could not think of interrupting
your grand music for mere common
places. Such music as l never dreamed
Of hearing this side of the celestial
gates of Heaven! And now, Miss Ben
ton, permit me to introduce you to my
cousin, Clinton Ashton. Cousin Gin
ton, Miss Lille Benton"
She bowed, but her cheeks were suf-
fused with deep crimson which mount
ed to her pure white forehead. And
even her enowy neck and the tips OF
her tiny ears were dyed with the Grim
son tide. Fearful lest her too great
confusion should be noted and COM
mented upon, she hastily excused her
self and fed to her room. Locking
her door, she sat down and tried to
recover bel composure, but for long
time her efforts were unavailing. Fl
nally, summoning up all her courage,
she arose, washed her face and pre-
pared for the call to tea which she
knew the bell would soon convey to
her ear. Clinton Ashton would not
know that she was Mamie Lee; and
she resolved not to let her knowledge
of him again disturb her composure.
Later in the evening she was again
startled by an exclamation from Lulu
"Cousin Clinton, the last time you
left here you were just starting to the
town Of R, to see something
about a will made in your favor, pro
vided you would marry the beautiful
and accomplished Mamie Lee. And
remember, also, you we're much op
posed to such marriages. Have you
conquered all your prejudices, and arr
you now the accepted lover Of thu
beautiful young heiress? Is she as in
telligent and fair as represented ? Come
cousin mine, tell US all about it."
Lilies head bent lower over her en-
broidery. But intent on Clinton's re
ply, no one observed her.
"True, cousin Lulu, such will wa
made by Joseph Lee, Mamie Lees un
Gle. But l an. quite old'fashionet

is capable of feeling such q passion a

persons contemplate assuming the du

hearts; and having never seen Mis-
Mamie, of course no such feelings ex
isted, and such a marriage would have
been fraught with unhappiness to boil

THE FAMILY CIRCLE,
TRUE TO THE GRAY.
BY PEARL RIVERS.

DA AGAhb NAV Eh5s
! cannot listen to your words,
The land is long and wide;
Go seek some happy Northern girl
To be your loving bride.
My brothers they were soldiers
The youngest of the three
Was slain while fighting by the side
OF gallant Fitzhugh Lee.
They left his body OH the field,
(Your side the day had won,)
A soldier spurned him with his foot,
You might have been the one.
My lover was soldier,
He belonged to Gordon's band;
A sabre pierced his gallant heart,
Yours might have been the hand.
He reeled and fell but was not dead,
"A horseman spurred his steed,
And trampled Oh the dying brain,
You might have done the deed.

No cold, unrighteous pride,
For many gallant soldier fought
Upon the other side.
But still cannot kiss the hand
That smotc my country sore,
Nor love the foes that trampled down
The cOlors that she bore.
Between my heart and yours there roll
A deep and crimson tide
My brothers and my lovers blood
Forbid me be your bride.
The girls who loved THE boys in gray,
The girls to country true,
Can ne'er in wedlock give their hands

Poor Lille! she might have added
heartache! She had never once thought
it possible that he loved her. He had
ever treated her as friend--nothing
more. She waited until the family had
retired for the night. Then descended
to the long piazza which full moon
had flooded with soft mellow light
For she felt as If she must sull'ocate if
she did not get breath Of fresh air.
She sat down, flung back the hair from
her forehead, which, now released from
confinement, hung in heavy, luxurious
masses around her shoulders, and with
aching brow and heart sat there think,
ing, thinking. She heard no step, and
knew not that proud, manly form had
walked out in the moonlight and taken
seat beside her. She only realized
her misery. The great future stretched
out blank, burning, desert waste be-
fore her. Presently strong arm stole
around her waist, and a sad voice
said:
Darling, I am soon to leave! /
love you better than life! Will you
not tell me before 60 that you are not
utterly indifferent to my welfare? Will
you not be my wife, my own Lille,
henceforth and forevcrf'
Lilies heart gave great bound
Of joy, and her head dropped on his
strong shoulder. She murmured Il low
reply, which caused him to press her
to his heart, and call her his darling,
his treasure.
Later, Lille said
"And you really love Mamie Lee as
we'll rs Lille Benton? How odd that
uncle Joseph's will should be fulfilled
at last"
Clinton laughed. Then kissing her
lips he babe her seek Ecr rest.
The next morning all was explained
to the kind, generous Whites, who
laughed heartily over their little ro-
nance. 1t was then arranged that
Clinton should go on to New York,
settle his ai1ars, and then return at the
end of two months, at which time the
nuptaIs should take place at the resi-
dence of Mr.. David White. Clinton
then departed, happy rs one could well
be, yet 10th TO leave his pet; while she,
smiling through her tears, exclaimed
softly to herself, "only two months"
A few days after CIinton's departure,
as Mamie and Lulu were sitting in the
room of the former, discussing some
article of wardrobe, u servant entered
and said lady was in the parlor who

they knew her name now.) Wonder
ing who it could possibly he, she de-
sccnded to the parlor, but what was
her surprise and JOY when she saw her
grandmother. Mrs. Lee caught her in
her arms, pressed her to her heart, and
begging her to come home to her poor
lonely grandmother, said she would
never more expect or desire her to do
ANYTHING against her wishes, as when
she desired her to marry Clinton Ash
ton.
Two months after the marriage OF
Mamie Lee and Clinton Ashton took
place at the residence of Mrs. Lee, and
Lulu White was first bridesmaid.

Interesting to the Student.

The 25th verse of the 10th chapter
Of Matthew is rs follows:
"Whosoevcr will save his life"-
pSucheen-" shall lose it, Whose
over, to avoid shame, rcproach, suffer
ing, or death, shall swcrvc from God,
His Son, or His cause, to preserve his
life, shall fail of life---of that life Jesus
came to give. "And whosoever will
lose his life '-psucheen-" for my sake
shall find it," The loss Of life for
Jesus sake is only temporary
The next verse the 2Gth--is as fol
lows:
"For what is man prolitcd if lie
shall gain the whole world ard lose his
own soul ?"-psucheem---" or what shall
a man give in exchange for his soul -
psucheen.
Honesty requires that pSucteen should
be translated alike in both places. DR.
Adam Clarke admits this, and says
"Sure l am, it'-psucheen--" means
life in both verses
The term psucheen occurs in The
Greek New Testament some fifty times
not including parallels. 1t is rendered
Life by the translators nineteen times
and Soul fifteen. - Exchange.
