A physician writes to young men as
follows: "My profession has thrown
me among women of all classes, and
my experience teaches me that Heav-
en- never gave man greater proof of
his love than to place woman here
with him. My advice is; Go and
propose to the most sensible girl you
know. II she accepts you, tell her
how much your income is, and from
what source derived; tell her you will
divide the last shilling with her, and
that you will love her with all your
heart into the bargain. And then
keep your promise. My word for it,
she will live within your income, and
to your last hour you will regret that
you did not marry sooner. Stop wor-
rying about feminine untruth. Just
you be true to her-loye her sincere
", and Il more fond, faithful, foolish
slave you will never meet any where:
You will not deserve her, ! know; but
she will never know it,.

"Our Boys" has been performed in
London, for more than two hundred
nights, and is still as popular as ever.
An officer on furlough, whose regi-
ment was in India, recently applied
for a seat. All were engaged for
three weeks ahead. He informed the
ticket agent that he wanted to see it
very much, as he had been ordered to
return to his regiment and would be
absent about two years. "Oh, that's
all right" responded the ticket man;
"you can see it when you come back.

that the system possesses certain ad-

Second-The rapidity and certain.

Fourth-Uniformity and free circu'

United States, without respect to the
place Of their issue.

which failing banks are placed in hqui

weak-minded husband to will all his
property to her, and then locked him
up in the woodhouse to die, while she
received the courtship of the man
whom she intended to marry when she
became a widow. In her absence, the
husbands friends made a search, and
found him emaciated, drugged, and
nearly dead. She was arrested.

Guards, the Horse Guards aud the Royal
Engineers. Further back in the vast semi
circle was the chorus.
The concert opened with a march, after
which Oliver Wendell Holiness "Hymn of
Peace was sung by 5000 voices. Gilmore
then mounted the rostrum to lead his band, and
received an exceedingly enthusiastic greeting.
The great glass structure rang with huzzas and
shouts of welcome. La response the band
played "God Save the Queen" All through
the concert there was the same enthusiastic
greeting whenever Gilmore led bis band The
cheers were answered by American national
airs, which were generously applauded.
The leading singers were Mr.. Lloyd, Nine.

At the conclusion the band after playing the
national anthem and "God bless the Prince of
Wales," received quite an ovation The con-
cert developed great expression of good feel

in London and throughout the provinces on his
return from Paris and before his departure for
America.
