Marriage In the Greek Church.

The priesthood III kussla are pc
culiarly situated os respects the con-
nubial state. The Greek, unlike the
Roman church, does not prohibit their
marriage while the Russian polity
goes so far as to enjoine, nay. to insist
upon it. No one, in fact, can hold a
cure until he is married /; and it some
times happens that a wife has to be
sought for in a great hurry in order
to secure a desirable parish. 1ta Rus

The Things In tho Bottom Drawer

There are whipsand tops and pieces Of strings
There are shoes which no little feet wear.
There are bite Of ribbon and broken rings,
And tresses Of golden hair
There arc little dresses folded away
Out Of tho light OF The sunny day,
There arc dainty jackets that never arc worn,
There are toys and models Of ships.
There arc books and pictures all faded and
torn,
And marked by the hnger tips
OF dimpled hands that have fallen to dust,
yet | strive TO think that ths Lord 10 Just,

Sometimes. when try to pray,
That tho reaper hath spared 10 many flowers
And taken mine all away.

That q mothers heart cali love them so.
Then think Of the many weary ones
Who arc waiting and watching tonight
For tho slow return OF faltering feet
That have airayed from the paths Of right /
Who have darkened their paths by shame aud
sin,
Whom tho saares Of tho tempter have gather

They wander far In distant cllmes.
They perish by fold and food
And their hands arc black with tho diroat

That kindled tho wrath OF God.
Yet u mothers song hath soothod thom to rest,
She hath lulcd them to slumber upon hor

From sorrow aud ain and war,
And thank my God with falling toars

wife's death, which made him a wild

tions a second hymeneal connection
He at length rose and took from
concealed drawer in his writing desk
n casket, and from that a miniature
on which he gazed for some moment:
with tender interest. Of course the
picture of his departed wife, says oul
anticipative reader, but such was not
the fact. Her pale, inelegant features,
which were correctly PORTRAYED on the
canvass, ornamented by rich gill
frame, and suspended from the wall,
were in marked contrast to the witch
ing charms of the fair being represent.
ed on the miniature. The form was
the personation of mature life, the lat
er the very dawn of womanhood.
The casket and its treasure was
soon restored to its restlng.place,
memeuto of disappointmenthop and
still cherished affection, which had
made the gay man of the world so.

the thread Of premature age amid his
dark hair. A gentle tug at the bell
cord was answered by the appearance
of au old domestic whom he directed
to inform his daughter that he desir-
ed her presence at once.
Charlotte Parker, then in her six
teen,h year was indeedan object which
commanded admiration. A woman
in form and stature, with features of
surprising lovellness, she still retained
a childish simplicity, and the way
ward but engaging fapcies years of
indulgence had entailed upon her, yet
with frank and generous impulse
which endeared her to all. As she
entered the apartment, somewhat sur.
prised with the formal summons, her
father took her hand, and in q tone of
deep tenderness said to her:
"My dear child, l have sent for you
in order that we might have short
but serious talk of tie future. / need
not ask you if you remember the sad
event which occurred one year ago to-
day."
"Dear mother. she can never be
forgotten" cried the fair girl, throw
mig herself upon his knee, and trying
to smother her sobs upon his should
eI.
ayes my daughter your mother has
long since become an inhabitant of the
unseen, better world, and has only left
us her memory to cherish, and the

A silence of some moments ensued,
and when broken Mr.. Parker had as
