WIDOWS.

Winter-kept apples, seasoned wine, a
cloudeu meerschaum, a vase around which
the scent of the roses still hangs all these
have a rare, ripe, evanescent flavor that sug-
gest, but cannot express, the charm of the
widow. A young widow is, perhaps, the
most interesting object in nature-or IN art.
She represents experience without its Wrink-
les or its gray hairs. She has matronly
beauty and maldenly freedom combined.
She is grief with a laughing eye-sorrow in
a house of festival silver moon in a sable
cloud. She is too sweet for anything ! Like
all good things she can only be created at a
great sacrifice. Mrs. Browning says that Il
man must be pretty thoroughly spoiled be-
fore he can leave a widow, This black swan
this mournful Phoenix rises only out of the
funeral urn that holds the ashes of a hus-
bands heart.
Let us wipe away the briny tear and pro-
coed. Perdite Pierides. Poets, statesmen,
heroes and philosophers hare each felt the
indefinable influence of widoWhood. Its
quality is not sustained. 1t falls alike upon
the Just and unjust. Edward Plantagenet
married the widow Elizabeth Gray, though
he knew she brought civil war for her doWry.

George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte,
John Wesley, Tony Weller, Ben. Disraeli
and all the boys married widows. Henry
VIII. was so fond of them that he took two,
and King David was sc pleased with Abig-
all, the widow of Naba1, whom he took to
wife, That he turned Bathsheha into a Wild
ow on purpose tomarry her. When Judith
ceased her cogitations over the virtues of the
late lamented Manassas of Bethulia, puts off
her mourning and adorns herself in brave
attire to set out for the camp of Holofernes,
we feel instinctively that she will come
back with his heart, his crown or head; which
ever she goes for. When the old widow
Naomi counsels the young widow Ruth how
to lay her snares in the harvest fields of her
kinsman, and spring her net on the thresh-
ing floor, we know at once that the wealthy
Bachelor Boaz might as well order the we'd
ding garments. Allan Ramsey wrote a song
telling how to woo a widow. He might as
we'll have left directions how to get struck
by lightning.

rich the heart and scatter sunshine all
around, winning many true and faithful
friends; for
IF we knew the cares and crosses
~CroWding round our neighbour way,
If we knew the little losses
sorely grievous day by day,
Would we then so often chide HIM
For his lack of thrift and gain,
Leaving on his heart q shadow
Leaving on our life q stain.''
And as much of the %unhappiness of this
world arises from hasty and unklnd words;
but women have the right to make one
place, If no more, free from all that, theright
to nave a happy lovely home. Some one
has said Homei is the one place in all the
world where hearts are sure OF each other.
1t is the place of confidence, the place where
we tear off the mask OF guarded and supi-
clous GOODNESS which the world forces us to
wear in selfdefence, and where we pour out
the unreserved communications of full and
confiding hearts. It is the spot where ex-
presslons of tenderness gush out without
any sensations of awkwardness, and with
out any dread of ridicule. Let a man trav-
Ell where he will, home is the place to which
his heart, untrayeled fondly turns. He is to
double all pleasure there and to divide all
pain. A happy home is the single spot on
this earth which a man has for the %cultiva-
ton Of his noblest sensibilities."
We have all these rights and myriads
more. Are we using them we'll? and have
we used them all? Our influence none can
tell then how exceedingly careful we should
be, that our words are all pure words; that
our hands are helpful hands and that our
feet walk in straight paths.
Think of how happy we will be in eterni-
ty if only one soul will rise up and bless us
in the great day of final award.
"If in one poor bleeding bosom,
l a woe-swept chord have stilled;
TIA dark and restless spirit,
with hope of heaven have filled;
If I'ye made for life's hard battle,
One faint heart grow brave in strife;
Then, my God, 1 thank Thee, bless Thee,
For the precious boon of life"
PANDORA.

REINFORCEMENT

There are many young working men who
are anxious to improve their minds by read
ing and study out of business hours. But
too many grow discouraged and fail in their
effort for self-improvement, although they
begin with the best intentions,
A want of thoroughness in whatever is I'M
dertaken is, perhaps, one great cause of
such failures. A practical writer On that
topic gives the following good directions:
"Neyer leave what you undertake to
learn, until you can reach your arms around
it, and, and clench your hands on the other
side.'
1t is not the amount of reading you run
over that will ever make you learned it is
the amount you retain. DR.. Abernetlly
maintained that :" there was a point of satu-
ration in his mind,o beyond which it was
not capable of taking more. Whatever was
pressed upon it afterwards crowded out
something else.
Every young MAI should endeayor to per-
feet himself in the science of the business he
has chosen. Without this, he must always
content himself in the lower walks of his
calling. The cost of a few cigars will buy
all the books he requires, and his w dill
gence may be made to we'll supply the place
of a tutor. Without such diligence, the
best teacher in the world could not manu-
facture him into a scholar. If one going
over a point will not master it, he must
tackle it again. Better give a weeks study
to a page than conclude that you cannot
comprehend it.
But though it is wise to give your main
strength to your own speciality, you should
not contine yourself to such studies exclu-
sively. The perfection of all your power
should be your aspiration. Those who can
only think and talk on one subject may be
efficient in their line; but they are not
agreeable members of society in any of its
departments. Neither have they made the
most of themselves. They become one-sided
and narrow in their views, and are reduced
to a humiliating dependence on one branch
of industry. It costs nothing to carry knoWl-
edge; and in times like these, to be able to
put his hand to more than one branch OF in-
dustry, often serves a man a good turn
Do not attempt too much in the way OF
| study to begin with; you will surely lose

GOLDEN

I've mark ed in contemplative hours,
When fate has struck some dreadful blow,
When the dark cloud of misery lowers,
And every earthly hope is low;
When all that man has laid in store,
OF Afric's bright and g%littering ore,
Cannot assuage the agony
That almost browns the soul in woe
And scattered like the stricken tree,
Is all by one relentless blow.
Man may subdue much.
Never lie still and wait when you can TO
more.
-Tis to love and be loved that makes life
so fair.
Hanger is not restraining, it is frequently
more ~lartfal to us than the injury that pro-
voked it.-Seaaeca.
Better it is, toward the right conduct OF
life, to consider what will be the end of q
thing than what is the beginning Of it-for
what promises fair at first may prove ill.
and what seems at first a disadvantage NAV
prove very adyantageous.-ReH

~tinguislled from one another j; and therefore,
though silence be innocent as death, harm-
less as a rose's breath OF a distant passenger,
yet it is rather the state OF death than lfe<-

A ROYAL FUNERAL IN EGYPT.

AROYAL FUNERAL IN EGYPT.
The khedive of Egypt recently buried
his tavorite daughter, Princess Hanem lei
nub, who was but fifteen years old, and the
wife of lbraham Pasha. She died of typhus
feyer-a likely cause considering the mala-
rial character of the Nile regions in the
warmer seasons of the year. The ceremo-
nies attending the burial were certainly i'm
posing, if a large concourse OF Moslem
priests and people, the scattering of money
from a treasury which a few months since
was declared to be bankrupt and deeply in
debt, and the butchery of oxen, followed by
a big exhibition of go%rmandizing, suffice for
the creation of ar impression. The Cologne
Gazette thus describes the remarkable de-
monstration: 1910.
"The Khedive and his family, as we'll as
his guest, the Sultan Of Zanzibar, and the
whole city of Alexandria, were much dis
turbed by the sad event, and the theatre was
closed for three days. The body was taken
to Carlo the same day, and placed in the
kasrel-Nile palace. An immense concourse
followed the body to the depot in Alexan-
dria, and hundreds of thousands of lare were
distributed among the poor people. The
interment took place in the Rilah mosque on
the following morning. Twenty-four bull
locks, 80 camels, and 20 wagons were in the
funeral procession. These animals were
laden with bread, dates, cooked meats and
vegetables; the wagons carried casks of wa
ter and sirup, and all along the route dis
tribution Of the provisions was made to the
poor. Eunuchs, meantime, threw 450, 900
pieces of silver coin to the people who
thronged the street. Three thousand priests,
some clad in rich vestments of gold and silk,
others half followed the wagons re-
peating prayers as they marched, and clap
ping their hands. After them came the
family of the poor young Princess and the
high officials of State, and then the coffin,
borne by officers of rank. Behind this
walked three %eunuchs, bearing on golden
shovels copies of the Koran to be buried
with the deceased. The coffin was of sim
pie rough hewn wood, and the corpse was
sown up in linen cloth. Upon the coffin
were placed the jewels Of the Princess,
worth ST.. 800, 900. After the burial the
priests slaughtered the Il bullocks before
the mosque, roasted them, and ate them up.
The priests remained in the neighhorhood
of the grave to pray for the soul of the de-
parted. The Khedive was so overcome with
grief that he could not receive any visits of
condolence.''
Contrast this with a funeral of Christian
civilization, and even the expensiyeness OF
its furnishing by the fashionable undertaken
seems chaste and far more appropriate.

BRAVE ENGTNEER.-Ihe engineer of q
train on a Vermont railroad deserves g hon.
orable mention for his courage. quick wit.
and fidelity to duty. The Burlington Free
Press tells the incident:
A few days since, as an excursion train of
eighteen heavily loaded cars on the Vermont
division Of the Portland and Ogdensburg
railroad had commenced the descent of a
heavy grade between st. Johnsbury and the
Connecticut river, the engineer deserted
three cattle upon the track just in advance
of him. TO drive or brighten them from the
track, or to s%easonably stop the train, was
impossible Instantly he decided upon his
course. He sent his fireman to %disconnect
his engine and tender from the train, wistle
"doWn hrakes,o and with full steam on
plunged forward alone, and with fearful inn
petus thus gained, threw the cattle from the
track. He then quietly allowed the train to
oyertake him again, connected it, and con-
tinued on, his passengers knowing nothing
of the fearful danger they hal escaped.

A ROMANTIC STORY.

In them middle of the winter of 1888 a fire
broke out in the female seminary at Lin
oges, France, and spread with such rapidity
that it was feared all the inmates would per-
ish. Suddenly there came a cry that one
little girl had been left in her room. AS the
excited spectators We're beginning to pray for
the unfortunate child, a tall girl, with dish
eveled blonde hair and flowing night-gown.
ran through the crowd, and, with a shrek,
"Ill save her - that rose above the sound
OF cracking timbers and falling masonry,
dashed into the doorway. A loud hurrah,
that was prolonged to the echo only to be
repeated again, attracted the attention of the
deyotees, and the pale-faced girl was seen
hurrying through the flames with the ter
rified child. A few days thereafter King
Louis Philippe sent the heroine a gold
medal for her bravery, and a captain in tho
French army, who had witnessed the girls
pluck, begged an introduction. The captain
is now President of France and the brave
girl Madam MacMahon.
