Effect Upon Europe OF the Discovery
OF America.

The voyage of Columbus in 1892 was
in many respects the greatest event
which had occurred in the world since
the birth of Christ. Politically and So
cially it was the beginning of an entire
ly new chapter in human history, and
1t wrought. effects upon mems specula-
tive thinking which, though perhaps
less conspicuous, were not less real or
remarkable. In much more than the
mere geographical sense was, is
the discovery of the New World. 1t
was the first in complicated series of
events which four centuries have not
yet fully rounded into a period: The
foundation of a new Europe in Ameri-
ca, in Africa, in Australia and in the
islands of the Pacific; the rise of the
English race to political and CONNER
clal supremacy, and the advance of the
English language toward what NAV be-
come universal dominion; the reorrani-
cation of government upon higher
plane than the Middle Ages had ever
been able to forshadow; the renovation
OF society in the old Europe through
countless subtle influences; the perma-
nent triumph of the industrial over the
predatory spirit; the successful asser-
ton of individual freedom against the
paralyzing absolutism inherited from
the Roman Empire; the overthrow of
sacerdotalism and the Christianization
OF the world. 1t would probably be
too much to assert that some of these
desirable results might not have been
attained, so far as the old Europe is
concerned, even if the lands beyond the
sea had never been explored and col
onized. 1t is unquestionable, however.
that the progress would have been much
slower and much more subject to inter-
ruption. The part performedb by England,
Tor example, in the work of European civ
ilizaGion since the age of Elizabeth has
| been so immense and so complicated
that no elaborateness of analytic de-
scription can do it Justice. Yet En-
gland in Elizabeth's time was hardly \
first-class power, and but for the col
onlzatlon OF America in the seventeenth
century it is difficult to see in what way
she would SO surely or so soon have
gained the commercial supremacy
which gave her in the eighteenth the
DOMINION of the ocean, and thus secured
her the foremost position in the world
10 those-and there are many such in
America-who are in the habit of re.
gar!dlng American history as dry and
undressing study, it may be profita-
bic matter of reflection that since the
beginning of the seventeenth century

"Had you come little earlier you

rather a coincidence, which could not
but convince the most skeptical that we

RecOnciled Before the Ink Was Dry.

A very unusual scene was witnessed
in the Shelbyville. Ind, court room the
other day. A suit for divorce, the
plaintiff being Mr.. Sandufer, was on
trial. The defendant made no defense,
save for the custody of a child. The
divorce was granted. Almost immedi.
ately Sandufer and the woman rose
from their seats and withdrew to Q
corner of the court room, where they
engaged in earnest conversation. Very
soon the officials and spectators noticed
the couple were greatly moved by what
had happened, for tears rolled down
their cheeks. Soon the pair embraced.
then kissed each other, then repeated it
over and over, elinging to one another
with all the tenacity of youthful lovers.
Men Uttered, women cried, and the
Judge grew indignant. Rising from his
seat, the Court declared that couple
capable of such demonstrations as the
one just made could live together, ard
taking up his pen, he drew it across the
docket, erasing the decree, thus making
them man and wife once more. They
left the room in happy state of mind,
and no doubt are now living over their
pleasant days again. Cor. Cincinnati

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Who walketh straight and acteth right,
Whose lips and heart in truth unite;
Who ne err to SANDER lends his tongue
And to his neighbor doth no wrong;
Who lowers not his brothers fame.
Feels as his own his brothers shame;
For vile men hath no tiattering word,
And honors those who fear the Lord;
Who me- err on usury lends his gold;
Though injured, to bis oath will hold;
And takes no bride to doom the pure
Who dealeth thus shall e'er endure.

that she gallops with heroine's recklessness
