A BEAUTIFUL THouGHT.- God knows
what keys in The human soul to touch. in
order to draw out its sweeter and most
pe,tect hnrmonies- Tney may be the
minor strains of sadness aud sorrow; they
may be the loftier notes of joy and glad
ness. God knows where the melodies Of
our nature are, and what discipline will
bring them forth. Some with plaintive
tongues must walk in lowly wales of life's
weary way; others in loflier hymns sing
of nothing but jcy. as they tread The
mountain tops of life, but they all unite
without discord or jar as the ascending
anthem of loving and believing hearts
finds its way into the chorus Of the re-
deemed in heaven. Vidette.

on the grand avenue of the Champs
Elysees. The foundation stone wss laid
on August 80, 1S06.ihe anniversary Of the
birth OF Napoleon |. II was not compile
ted, however. until 1896, "a which year il
was iuaugurated. The total cost was
at out 9,65l ,Is5 frances, about equally di
vided between the Empire. the restora-
ton, and the reign of Louis Philippe. The
work OF building 1t was thus carried on
under three different dynasties. At its
completion it was dedicated to sthe glo-
ries of all the armies of FraLce since
1892" The height OF the arch was $50
feet, its breadth l27 feet, and its depth ss
feet The foundations were l63 feet long
and 81 feet wide. The arch was adorned
with groups OF statuary representing the
military glories of France. Under lis
giant arches co:leges of all kinds and dis
tinguished people without number have
passed. The first to pass under it, while
it was still merely skeleton, was Marie
Louise of Austria, when she came TO
Paris as wife OF Napoleon. II ii be true
