Whose Hair Vas II.

A novel trial is reported to have taken
place in London. A lady went to a ball,
and when preparing to return to her
home in the evening, before going to her
carriage took off her coifure and tied ii
up in handkerchief TO keep it fresh TO,
a party she was to attend the following
night and that she might be more con
veniently put warmer wraps on her heI
head, the evening being cold. When
she reached her dwelling the coiffure was
not in the carriage. She despatched a
messenger for it, but it could not be
found. Some days after she met an ac-
quaintance. whose hair was the same
color as her Own-rather peculiar hue
and was satisfied she wore her coiffure.
She taxed her with it Of course it was
Indignantly denied. So certain was the
lady that it was her hair the other had
taken from the ball and was wearing she
sued her for it. When the trial came on
the defendant struck the prosecutor dumb
and convinced the court by letting down
her tresses and showing they were her
own, thereby procuring judgment in
her favor. Subsequently she quarreled
with her hair dresser, when it came out
that the hair she had so dexerously e1-
hibited as having grown on her head had
grown on some other head, but had been
artfully and artistically arranged for
the pulling down process by the hair

Be true to yourself and your God;
Ere you build your house mark we'll the spot
Test all the ground and build you not
On the sand or the shaking sod.
Dig. dig the foundation deep, young man.
Plant firmly the outer wall;
Let the props be strong and the roof be high,
With an opening turret towards the sky
Through which heavens dsws may fall.
Let this be the room Of the soul, young man
When the shadows shall herald care;
A chamber with never roof or thatch
To hinder the Lighter door, or latch,
To shut in the spirits prayer
Build slow and sure--'tis for life, young man,
A life that outlives the breath;
For who shall gainsay the Holy Word:
Their works do follow them" saith the Lord,
Therein there is no death
Build deep, and high, and road, young man,
As the needful case demands;
Let your title deeds be clear and bright,
Till you enter your claim to the Lord Of Light
Fer the touse not made with hands.

NATRINONY EXTRAORDINARY.

An entert lining article entitled Tony
Wcller's Widows appeared in the Ches-
ter (Pa.) Republican, from which the
following is all extract:
Another very cour,able widow was a
young lady of Washington. Pennsylva-
MIA. She became engaged to a young
man named Robert -. in 1916. Her
father. however, objected to this match
with one of his clerks, and when the
young lady received tempting proposal
from a wealty suitor. the paternal in
fuence soon effected a marriage, despite
the former engagement. In less than
three months her husband was killed by
a kick from horse. Robert was sec
ond time then suitor, but DELAYED the
important question until fifteen months
had elapsed, when. to hi. horror, she in
formed him that she was engaged. In
three months thereafter she was married
Two years elapsed. when the married
couple removed to Syracuse. n. Y where
among the victims of the cholera. when
the pes,ilence swept that city, was the
second. Robert again sought her hand.
and when a year had elapsed, was on the
eve of a declaration, when 10 he had
received an invitation to her wedding
Tier late husbands business was found
in euch state tha, to avoid immense
losses she married the surviving part
ner. Shortly after, she removed with
her third husband to Detroit, Michigan.
A few years elapsed, when herself and
husband were on steamer that was
wrecked near Buffalo. The husband
persisted, and the wife escaped solely
through the exertions Of a friend who
was on board, His gallantry oinspired
such sentiments in her breast that she
married her brave preserrer few months
after her third widowhood. The happy
pair removed to Pitsburg. where her hus-
band was engaged in mercantile business.
Thither Robert, still cherishiug his first
love, followed them. One day as he was
passing the husband store he saw ter
rible commotion. Rushing in. he beheld
the mangled corpse of that gentleman on
the floor A tierce of rice, in being
hoisted to an upper story, had fallen
through the traps, killing him instantly
Anxiously Robert inquired if any one
lad been eeut to inform his wife, and
IVES told that the book keeper had just
gone. Robert started for Allegheny
City, where the deceased had resided, at
the top of his speed. The book keeper
was just ahead of him. and, from past
experience, knowing the virtue of prompt
action, and appreheuding that the clerk
had designs on the widow, he ran for
deal life, eide by eide. The race con-
tinued until they reached Hand street
bridge. when the clerk was obliged to
stop to pay the tolls. while Robert a
commuter, passed over without stopping.
Reaching the house of the widow first
Robert told the heart-rending news, and
in the same breath made proposal Of
marriage. He was accepted. True to
her promise, after year of mourning
she became bis wife. As all her hus-
bands had died wealthy, Robert was
comfortably fixed after all. This case is a
remarkable example of what pluck and
perseverance will do for man, while at
the same time it teaches lesson on the
danger of delay.

THE FAMINE IN PERSIA.

A few months ago, news came from
Persia of most distressing character
Plague and famine had smitten the coun-
try. Men, women and children were
dying by thousands, unaided. unattended.
There were no medicine for the sick and
suffering; no food for the hungry
Whole districts were described as raw
aged by the destroying angels of hunger
and disease For time, the news ceas-
ed TO allude to The case of Persia, and it
was hoped that the worst was over. Not
so, however. Late intelligence from
Ispahan shows the country is still in the
dreadful agony which for long months
back has afflicted it. The distress in
the cities and large towns is described as
terrible. and all exertious of the authori
ties prove unavail;ng to stay the march
of desolation. Deaths from sickness are
multiplying. and want of food killing
thousands. Major S. A. Smith, English
resident, writing from Bushirc, says the
people are won to skeletons. and some
of them are always trodden down and
killed in the daily rush for the English
Rice. Mr.. A. J. S. Adams, travelling in
Teheran about two months ago, says,
that in the crowds who swarm in the bar
rack-square to receive dole of small sill
yer from the Shah, hundreds. men and
women, are literally stark naked, worn
to the bone, and covered with sores. The
people follow the visitors howliug for
bread; two lie upon the ground, quite
dead, and third is laid upon one side Of
the bazarr, covered with piece of dirty
cotton. A naked woman lies in the
agony of death, surrounded by a crowd
of beings almost as badly off as herself
The next form is that of woman, who
scrapes from the ground handful Of
mellon seeds and filth, which she divides
between her two childrens." There is
no hope of home relief. Persia is ex
hausted. There is no food for the well
10 relief for those smitteu with the plague
What is to be done? Will the Christian
world stand with folded arms, and allow
thousands of human beings to die 70,
want of food and proper care? If not
then sume movement should be made tc
aid Persia in the hour of her mighty dis
tress. And what is right to be done
must be done quickly. 1t is said til,
Lord loveth cheerful giver.'
