A little episode occurred at Atchison,
Kan sas, few days ago, not laid down X:
the programme. About six months ago
a man married Missouri girl, and efter
ten days honeymoon he started to Kan
sas to look up home" or to settle one.
Not hearing from her husband, the new
wife started in pursuit. When she
changed cars at Atchison, imagine her
surprise when she beheld her husband in
company with woman and seven chill
dren. There was a storm-a general ex-
plosion-on the part of the young wife,
but wasn't her comb cut though when
she learned that it was his brothers wife
he was in company with, just returning
from shopping tour? The husband had
written to her regularly, but his letters
had been intercepted by enemies, and he
had given her up as false. This shows
how much stronger woman's love Is,
when they do love, than mans.

Bears us from infancy to death,
Both hated and revered
live would win ambitions goal,
And take downward view;
We must expect mo royal road,
But pathway rough and new.
When tempestuous clouds arise,
And all looks dark and drear;
We must not fear the storm,
Bvt look up and persevere.
When waves roll mountain-h high, "
And fears our soul distress;
We must keep the goal in prospect,
And steadily toward it press.
We must not distrust ourselves,
But Away with doubts and fears
Bear unmoved the worlds praise,
Nor tremble when it sneers.
Ever keep the end in view
The goal that attracts the eye;
And we shall surely conquer,
Before the day we die.
