BIOthers-in-lsw are usually the subject Of deris
ion to Punch, but the old oynic makes the following
exception
Happy the man who. when he takes bride,
Espouses her alone, and none beside;
And doth not find, as many husbands do,
That he has married her relations, too.
Let him that needs must wed select wife
Whose parents, both, departed have this life,
Her sole regard that he may comprehend,
And prove the else iriendless orphans only friend
What mortal ever yet the husband saw
Blsst in the mother he acquired BY law2
Exceptions to all rules in time are born
Long live thy imother-in-law, Lord of Lorne!

Beecher Ready 10 Accept the
Darwin Theory.

=
Science has developed certain
great truths, and among the great
est yet evolved is the so-caIled ORR
gin of man, or the theory of
Darwin. Now, some men cry out,
if these things be true, then the
Bible isn't true. Let US 90 further
back, and take the Copernican sys-
tenn. After a while thinking men
were obliged to shift their ground
and give a different Interpretation
to the Bible. Look at the havoc
geology has made. It completely
upset the first chapter of Genesis.
In so many days God created the
earth. What did We do with this {?
We may merely conclude to call
days periods of time, and geology
and the Bible walked hand in hand.
Now we have come to Darwin,
and have found out our ancestors.
.[A general laugh all over the
church. Adam and Eve are getting
Ito be questionable. Some folks
don'tknow so much about the Garden
of Eden as they thought they did and
they don't seem quite pleased about
this discovery of their ancient rela-
tivos, and are trying to shake these
things off. You can't rub this
out if it is true. You have got to
make your Interpretation of Scrip
ture conformabIo to nature. soien-
tifc disclosures are the best illumin-
atOr that can be given to men,
Nature makes commentators that
stand. We may as we'll prepare
ourselves to accept this theory of
elimination-this growth from the
animaIto the spiritual and I for
one am all ready for it.
The argument which affords the
strongest proof of this theory is the
essential pliancy and educatability
of man. He realizes that his way
is upward and onward. To 90 up
higher he must be educated--in
other words must advance from
progress. That the Bible teaches Us
to expect. The more the Bible is
tried and tested by philosophical
research, the stronger it is found to
be. We can accept the deductions
of science and be better Christians.
Those who throw the Bible away
are very unwise. If man lights
his gas, and then blows ont his
candle, that is as it should be-
There are folks who blow out the
candle, because they have q theory
of gas, and before a pipe has been /
into their houses. /
Wheh you can find me a Bible /
that is more BibIerer than this one, !
l am ready to accept it. This has
a grip in it. 1t retains its hold up
on man.-TH. W. Beecher.

Mrs. Beckford, of Beckfordville
Villa, at Richmond, was sitting
alone in her comfortable parlor,
musing on her far-off son, with a to-
tai abstraction from all outward
sights and sounds, and when all of a
sudden she looked up, a pretty
young person, clad ina quiet style,
stood before her.
"What is it ?" said Mrs. Beckford,
somewhat curtly.
"If you please, madam, I am anx-
ious to come as a companion"
"Who sent you ?' demanded the
lady, surveying the large blue eyes
and golden bands of smoothly
brushed hair rather distrustfully.
"I learned from a lady of your
acquaintance that you wished a COM
pauiOn, and I should like to take
the situation.
"Aum.m-m," said the old lady.
"What's your name ?"
"Edith Moore"
"Moore-Moore ? Got any rela-
tjons in town-ah! at Bayswater, I
mean ?" demanded the inquisitress,
sharply.
"No, ma'am, I am alone in the
world"
"Tm glad of that" murmured
Mrs. Becker, soto Uoce. "I couldn't
stand any one belonging to the guitar
playing girl who-but never mind
that just now. What are your ref.
erences ?"
Edith Moore drew letter or two
from her travelling bag.

eyes, ma'am."
"Well," commented the matrOn,
glancing over the notes, "these rec
concentrations seem very satisfac-
tory. I--don't know-but that you
may come and stay. The only OBJ
lection I can see is that you're too
pretty, and I don't think you are
really to blame for that. Take off
your things"
And the roses that glowed into
Edith's cheek at this very plain ex-
preston of the old lady's sentiments,
did not make her any the less love-
ly, as she united the blue bonnet
strings, and laid aside the neat but
simple shawl, to enter upon her
probation.
