A COMMON FoIBLE.

You don't mind much being a common
place man in all other respects, if there be
only one respect in which you can fondly
believe you are the superior to every one
else. A very little thing will suffice. A
man is taller than anybody else in town or
parish he has longer hair he can walk
faster he is the first person who ever cross
ed the new bridge when the queen passed
near she bowed to him individually he was
the first in the neighborhood who got the
perforated postage stamps; he has the
swiftest horse in the district; he has the
largest cabbages; he has the oldest watch ;
one Smithe spells his name as no other
Smith was ever known to do. Tt is quite
wonderful how it is possible for men to find
reason for c%hershing in their heart a deep
seated belief, that in something they stand
on a higher platform than all the remainder
OF mankind, Few men live who do not i'm
aglne that in some respect they stand alone
in the world, or stand first. / have seen
people quite proud Of the unexampled dis
ease under which they were suffering. Its
none OF the common maladies that the peo-
pie round about suffered from. I have
heard a country Woman boast, with undis-
guised %elation, that the doctor had more diff
ficulty in pulling her tooth than he ever be-
fore had in the case Of mortal man. There.
IS not a little country parish in Britain but
Its population are persuaded that IN several
respects and for several reasons it is quite
the most important in the empire.-Frazer,s
Magazine.

AN OUTRAGE.

John Miles, a Mormon of some considers
bic standing in Utah, has been convicted OF
polygamy and sentenced to the penitentiary.
Is this thing to be allowed? Are we to
sit calmly by and see o man and brother
subjected to such treatment, and make no
protesta
Ibis man Miles Is a stranger to us, but
the fact Of his having been married is enough
to awaken in our sympathetic being a mel,
ancholy interest.
10 know that a man has been married is
to know that he has suffered. But to know
that he has been the unfortunate possessor
OF three very lively wives at one time is to
know that his life has been sufficiently N
Uttered without thrusting him behind the
bars of a prison.
That he was indiscreet, we admit. but
this should not be looked upon as a crime.
When we think of the agony he must
nave suffered trying to furnish a house to
suit three different m ; when we real
lie the amount or miscellaneous wearing
apparel that must have hindered and embar-
raised him every night while preparing for
bed; when we see him vainly looking for a
chair that is not running over with skirts
and %corsets, and sleeveless jackets and so
forth when we hear his groans as he falls
over three pairs of CATERS while stumbling
around in the dark after three different
kinds OF medicine; when we see the net
work of wrinkles and scratches that cover
his face, and observe the few scattering
hairs-that are left from what was once an
abundant crop-turning prematurely gray.
we are led to exclaim, Oh, justice! is it not
possible that those scales were a little out Of
balance ?-Peck's MszaDaukee SIN.

DEAN SWIFT.

Members OF his own sex could not under
stand why he held such power over ome /;
but it is a fact that three of the sweetest
women in Great Britain looked for all their
happiness to his harsh, homely face, until
they dropped with disgust or died of de-
spair. With what fierce arrogance he de-
ported himself! A poor scribe, with nothing
in prospect, he was ~insolent to the greatest,
and boldly told aides of the highest quality
who were inclined to treat him with kind
ness, which savored a little of condescen-
sion, that he expected them to make all the
advances. His first love was a pretty, ami
able girl whom he treated so insultingly
that her self-respect compelled her to break
with him. Her successor, sweet Esther
Johnson, he treated kindly and brutality by
turns, SO that he made her ineffably wretch
ed. While he was in London, still another
young woman, Hester Vanhomrigh, rich
and beautiful, became enamored Of the
great bear I; declared her passion followed
him to Ireland underwent agonies of jeal-
ousy !; appealed to him most piteously; and
yet woke no serious response in his harden
ed breast. He had been affectionate to her
in England but he changed in Irelund he
seemed bent on torturing her. He succeed
ed but too well, for bis brutal behavior
broke her heart, and she sank into the grave.
Then he married Esther, and made her lite
more wretched than ever. She was twelve
years in dying but at last came the end
and blessed oblivion. The man who had
slowly murdered two devoted women paid
the penalty which rhine u%nrelentingly ex-
acts. He passed a whole year without utter
ing a word, with a dread OF seeing a human
face. He sank into a raving %lunatic, then
into a helpless idiot, and was buried years
after he had virtually died, leaving all his
property to build a mad-house. 1t is such
men whom women love.

THE SECRET OF BEAUTY.

The secret of beauty is health. Those
who desire to be beautiful should do all
they can to restore their health, it they have
lost it, Or to keep it, if they have it yet. No
one can lay down specific rules for other
people in these matters, The work which
one may do, the rest he must take, his baths.
MS diet, his exercise, are matters of indiyid-
ual consideration, but they must be careful
ly thought of and never neglected. AS a
rule, when a person feels we'll he looks well.
and when he looks bad he feels bad as a

general thing. There are times when one
could guess, without looking in the glass,
that his eyes were dull and his skin was
notified. This is not a case for something
IN a pretty bottle from the perfumer's, or
Tor the lotion that the circulars praise so
highly. To have a fresh complexion and
bright eyes, even to have white hands and a
graceful figure, you must be we'll. Health
and happiness that usually ONE with it,
are the true secrets Of beauty.-Quarteriy

GOLDEN EAVES.
To share in Nature rich domain
Is Woman's igb-born heritage;
In her W realm shall she maintain
IlA hnnnrs If thu Go1lnn

Death is like the thunder-we are alarm
Ell at the sound OF it, but it is only formi-
dable from that which preceded it.
Gods faithful promise is that though
the outward man perish the inward shall be
renewed day by day.
People are apt to fall in love with those
who are beautiful at sight. But to retain
love one must have truth, tenderness and
constancy.
Nothing does so fool a mar as extreme
passion. This doth make them fools which
otnerWlse are not, and show them to be
fools that are not.
There are many masked faces In life.
ana II by some superhnman power these
masks should be suddenly torn off what q
sight one half of the world would present
to the other,

NO PONY, NO CASTOR LIE.

His loving mother said, "If you take
some of the castor oil. I'll let you go to the
circus"
"How much % he cautiously inquired.
ooh only a spoonful just a spoonful
she replied.
"And you'll give me some sugar besides ?'
he asked.
"Of course | villa big lump
He waited until she began pouring from
the bottle, and then asked, :. and you'll give
me ten cents, too p
Eyes, of course"
"And you'll buy me a shoo-hy kite ?' he
went on, seeing his advantage.
81 guess So"
"No kite, no ile," he said as he stepped
back.
"Well, I'll buy a kite" she replied filing
the spoon up.
"And a velocipede %
SI'l think of it,
"You can't think no castor lie down me.n
he exclaimed, looking around for his hat.
"HereI will, or I'll tease father to, and
| know he will. Come, now, swallow it
down."
"And you'll buy me a goat?'
"Yes.n
"And two hundred marbles ?"
"Ies. Now take it down."
"And a coach-dog"
81 can't promise that"
CAL right; no dog, no ile.o
"Well, I'll ask your father"
"And you'll buy me a pony"
ooh! couldn'tdo that. Now be a good
boy a swallow it down."
20 yes I'll swallow that stuff, I WILL,
he said as he clapped on his hat. "You
may fool some other boy with a circus ticket
and a lump of brown sugar, but it'll take a
hundred dollar pony to trot that castor lie
down my throat. "-FzusAiing Journal.

THE Il ME- CIRCLE
GIVE HIM A LIFT

A44NA ~ 1t4F1s
Give him Il lift! don't kneel i'm PRAYER.
Nor moralize with his despair;
The maj is down, and his great ne ed
Is ready help, not prayer and creeo.
'Tis time when the wounds are washed an
healed
That the inward motive may be revealed;
Bat now, wiiate' er tie spirit DC,
Mere words are but u mockery.
One grain of ai6 just now is more
10 him than tones of sanity lore;
Pray, if you must in your heart,
But give him a lift, give him a start.
The world is full of good advice
OF prayer, and praise, and preaching nice
But the generous souls who aid mankind
Are scarce as gold and hard to find.
Give like a C~hristian-speak in deeds.
A noble life's the best of creeds;
And he shall wear a 70 val crown
Who gives them a lift when they are down!

AN ISLAND IN MID.oCEAN.

"A PooSIapLlcdl lacL HAS laleiy Deen re-
called to the memory of the civilized world.
1t is, that there is an inhabited island, Iris
tan d'Acunha, in the South Atlantic, 1000
miles from the coast of South America, and
1000 miles from the African coast. The
United States ship Essex recently visited it
to rescue several shipwrecked sailors, and
found it about seventeen miles in diameter,
with a central peak $500 feet above the sea.
Il is inhabited by ninety-six persons, form
ing sixteen families, who have voluntarily
isolated themselves from the rest of the
world. The history OF its present settle
ment is thus narrated
In 1916 the English government placed a
garrison on Tristan d'Acunha, in order to
guard more securely their royal prisoner at
st. Helena, 1900 miles away. IT,
On the death of Napoleon, IN 1921, the
troops were withdrawn. One of their num-
Der, Corporal William Glass, with his wife
and two seamen OF the St. Helena squadron
with their wives, obtained leave to remain
on the island and occupy the quarters left
vacant by the departure of the troops.
Glass was at once chosen chief, and was
.habitually called Governor. He became the
father of seven sons and eight daughters.
What with the progeny of the two mem
ot-war's men, and the settling among them
of four or five whaling men, and the mar
rying of the daughters of Glass and his first
companions in this voluntary exile, the
population rapidly increased.
In 1867, her Majesty's ship Galatea, COM
manded by his Royal Highness the Duke of
