or five years the boy quit it,. and entered

During the early years other solitary

a PREAcHER,s LOVE STORY.

Marian Douglass contributes to the At
,a~tic 1onthiyr q quaint poem, Before the
which relates the experience o.
, maiden and q Methodist revival preach
u. We quote a portion of it
But when I came to hear him preach
He told the Gospel story
So thriiiingiy, through all the grove
Went up one shout Of gloryl"
Rough men were bowed, hard sinaers wept
I owned his power To hold nc
His glowing fervor, like n spell.
Against my will controlled me.
"Por who is her" i, said, my own
Admiring thoughts reprovingi
"a Methodist itinerant,
Who keeps forever moving,
Just two years in place"
"That's two hard a way" thought,
"To run the Christian raee!"
I said the preacher pleased me not
did not wish to meet him;
And when we met tried to see
How coldly formal L could be-.
And courteously trsai him:
But when woman tries to hate,
Be sure it's love beginning;
The more frowned the moro felt
That he my heart Was winning.
Dull (may the Lord forgive mel 1 found
The class unless he lead it,
And sweoter seemed the blessed word
OF Scripture, If he read it;
And, from the closing Iowa feast, when,
As we walked home together,
He led me down quiet path,
And calmly asked me whether
my future should be one with his!'
And must take or lose him;
felt my hold on earthly joy
Was lost should refuse hun.
"But il love, there's but one way"
| said, "my love Of proving,
And l nm willing for your sake,
To keep forever moving.
Moving, moving, moving
just two years in aplsce-
Happy, wheresoc'r 1 go,
If but see your facet"

THE SHAH IN EUROPEAN PALACES.


The sovereigns of Europe have been for
the past month rivaling each other in the
splendor of their entertainments of the
Shah of Persia. The etiquette of court
life entities this royal Governor to all the
honors and courtesies of his high office.
Though the ruler of n country almost
equal in territory to France and Germany,
he is q coarse, vulgar, inhuman monster,
not worthy of the recognition of gentle
man. Years ago when Persia was the seat
of Eastern civilization, when her revenues
and dominion were in extent ana magnl--
ticence almost equal to the pictures in the
arabian Nights the Shah of Persia was
ruler of consequence. His tour among the
nations of the earth in that age would have
been the march of a conquerer His terri
tory to-day is about half composed of burn
ing deserts and barren plains. His cities
and villages are made up of low mud how
els and narrow, filthy streets. His reve-
nues are the tithes wrung from an
ignorant, impoverished people. His gov
eminent is OF the worst despotism. There
are no restraints upon his authority. He
can, and frequently does, arbitrarily be-
head or torture to death his wealthiest and
best subjects. His subordinate officials are
subject to his caprice, and cannot tell at
what hour they may be relieved from au-
thority and sent to the executioner's
block.
But his territory embraces some fertile
valleys and the commerce of his ports
brings dollars to the pockets of European
merchants. Ignorant and embarrassed
enough to pay thirty per cent. interest on
loans needed to crafty his passion, he
travels through Europe the representative
of once powerful, opulent nation, from
whom the sceptre of power has forever
passed. But because he has a few dollars
to give to trading merchants, he is allowed
to pass in royal State from palace to palace,
insulting Expresses and ladies of high
rank, and disgusting respectable people
with his base indulgences. Such is the
license extended to royalty. Such is the pic
ture presented in European palaces to-day.
Russia with soldiers enough to drive the
Shah's little army Unto the Persian Gulf
opens to him the doors of her most mag
nificent palace and invites him to the roy
al harems to satisfy his lusts. Austria car
rios him in state through the streets of her
beautiful capital and parades before him
all the glitter of her palaces and royal jew
els. Germany parades before his bewild--
ering eyes the army that in sixty days over
ran Austria and carried the Prussian'
eagles over victorious fields into the royal
palace at Versailles. France, rejoicing in
her new President, carried him through
the gay streets of Paris and tickled his
fancy in the Opera and salons of fashion.
And now England's fleet thunders royal
salutes in the Channel and English Lords
picture the vast extent and value of Eng
lish commerce. All this for Shah, whose
trade is worth a few millions year!

THE WAY TO AVOID WAR.

Our readers will not fail to watch with
interest the result of the recent vote of the
English Parliament upon the motion of
Mr.. Henry Richard, Secretary Of the Lon
don Peace Society, that her Majesty's
Government should communicate with
foreign powers for the purpose of improv-
ing international law, and with the view
of establishing arbitration as permanent
resort for the settlement of differences be-
tween nations" Notwithstanding the OPP
position of Gladstone, the motion passed
by the casting vote of the Speaker. Mr..
Richard, in support of his motion, is re-
ported as saying;
/ have received a large number of letters
from America, expressing sympathy with
my proposition, He proceeded to show
that the danger of war kept four millions
of men armed annually in Europe, rem
dering necessary a taxation of $1,000 ,000,-
600, and the payment of yearly interest
on war debts of $3.50, 100000 In addition
to this the value Of labor withdrawn from
industry was estimated TO be 81 $50, 600, 600
In Germany the CONSUMPTION forced an
emigration which was depopulating the
country. Russia, France and Italy were
financially crippled by the expense of their
enormous military establishments.

This is the first fruit of the grand inter-
national peace tribunal at Geneva, brought
about through the efforts of Grants Adj
ministraton. What the result of this vote
in Parliament will he, we can not now pre-
dict, but the moral effect of it will be good.
The result at Geneva must do much TO en-
courage the great peace mission Of the
English Government. II is significant
that tue Government against which the
first peace tribunal promptly gave verdict
of SIS 900, 600, should be the first to strive
to make universal the peace policy there
inaugu rated.

THE Shah of Persia has been enthusi-
astically received in England. John Bull
has been most obsequious in his advances
to Oriental Royalty. Why're are not pre-
pared to say, but money is at the bottom
of it. Some one has said that the English
contributed to the missionary cause, know
ing that the heather, when they became
Christianized, would want cotton goods
from Manchester, or some English city, to
cover their nakedness. They will make
money out of the Shah's visit.
