About the year 1900 one of those dan

is only the fearful source of crime and

came to establish himself as a merchant

Tar MoDBL WIFE.-Rev Dr.. s. \
Willetts, in recent lecture delivered in
Brooklyn described the model wife Of
ancient times. Among other traits Of her
character to which he referred was her
industry He said
She was the model woman of that
period for this age, and for all ages to
come. Customs and costumes had chang
ed, but all the essential features of woman
ly character are as fitting now as then.
The speaker then read the description Of
her IN the Book OF Proverbs, and remark
ed that Of all that human genius had Ia
bored for centuries to embody IN marble
and canvass, or in the pages Of poetry, for
conception Of that which Is true and
beautiful and graceful in woman, we might
challenge the world to bring a picture Of
woman worthy to be compared with this
The whole picture was lighted up with
the glow of most cheerful activity. She
not only superintended the duties Of the
household, but worked with her own
hands The daughters Of modern society
might here find useful hint The idea
prevailed nowadays, to 2 great extent,
among young ladies that work Is deerad-
Ing that it belongs TO :. common people
The modern idea Of womanly beauty is an
ethereal creature, with fair features and
frail body, supported by whalebone. The
hearty, vigorous blushing face used to be
and emblem of beauty, but 1t is now the
lily, even though the liiy-white be made
accessory to such result. 1t might be
truly said of them, " They toll not neither
do they spin; yet Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one Of these The
idea of domestic industry being vulgar is
one of the conceitS Of modern DAYS. !
Neither rich nor poor were exempt from |
the divine law that industry was healthful
and proper. You, ladies, to be model |
wives, should be industrious.

The heralds of dawn on the mountains.
Chant ds their matin hymn.

Mingling of light and shade,
\ deepening gold on the hIll- tops,
Where the pale star beams played
The revel and dance Of the sunlight.
Seeming, in careless mood,
To laugh with the dew-drops and breezcs
To daily with wave and wood.

With banners Of light unurled,
\ chorus of welcome awaits her,
Thank God for this glad, new world.

STENCIL PLATES AND MATRmoNY The
story of the old lady who bought a dOorplate
with the name of Thomson on it is well
known, but that old lady did not utilize her
acquisition as did a fond and economical
mother in San Francisco lately. The daughter
of the aforementioned lady had indiscreetly
purchased stencil bearing the Joint initials
OF herself and young man to whom she was
about to be married, and with the b,ackest of
lndelible ink had marked her wedding linen
Herewith. But alas the young man proved
unworthy fthe eonfding trust so touehingly
displayed. Nothing daunted, however, the
mother of the betrayed one started out. and
after diligent search succeeded in finding a
young man bearing the initials of her daugh-
ter ) taithless lover. Him she straightWaY
took along, and forthwith married him to her
daughter. Thus were the yearnings of the
fair one soothed and her stencil plate utilized.

FIVE years old, has not been found yet.

\ WICKED TYRANT-Neba karu, the
King of Corea, was, by nature and training,
bigoted, cruel, and tickle. At one moment
he would raise an humble serf to the highest
Office in a day or two thereafter this same
whilom tavorite would be seen standing on
the executioner's block for some real orlan-
cied ofense. The kings spasms Of generos-
ity toward his own subjects were invariably
followed by ac,s of oppression toward those
unfortunate Christians who were endeavor
ing to find means of subsistence within the
realms of his kingdom As a solitary
instance, | will state the fact that a. Neba
karu was one day walking along past the
public baths OF his capital, he suddenly
professed to be annoyed by the confusion
within, and upon being informed It came
from female bathers there, be Immediately y
ordered every means OF exit to be walled
up, and thus miserably perished all the un-
fortunate inmates to the number Of about
three score During his bloody reign of
something like thirty years, no less than
thirty thousand people were put 10 death
while nearly one hundred ami fifty places
Of worship were destroyed by his orders.
The most 6endish outrages were daily pTac-
ticed upon all foreigners. They were de-
MED the privilege OF purchasing even the
common necessaries Of life. CoIeau mor-
chants were forbidden to extend to them
the smallest favors Neither gold nor all
lection could purchase immunity from the
tyrant's cruel mandate. and when some
hundreds Of them were forced by the kings

were forbidden the use of animals or boats.
