A Canadian Romance.

Thirty.six years ago there lived in that
pleasant little town down the river called
Sorel-yery little it was then-a youth and
maiden. The name of the youth was Gesrge
Beaupre, the name of the maiden Mary Ann
Pearce. They belonged to families of mod
crate circumstances. He, with the strength
and devotion OF honest young manhood,
loved this maiden, and wooed her with that
earnestness which only such a lover can. He
was given every encouragement; wac, some
say, actually accepted; was congratulatipg
himself, at least, on the smooth coursing OF
true love, when, suddenly, rival appeared,
and everything for him turned black. The
rival was one Jacob Savage, of the same
town. Pretty soon she and Savage were
married and settled down in the place, and
then young Beaupre's hope died out. He
tried to work on as before, but could not.
He closed up his business, settled up his
affairs, and started to the far West, toward
which go many adventurous spirits were
about that time shaping their course.
From that day to within a few weeks
ago he had not set foot in this
part of Canada. He had worked hard,
saved carefully, prospered and laid
up property worth at least 5000, 900. He
had never married. He was getting up to-
ward sixty years of age. Several weeks ago
he took an idea to come back once more to
see his friends and he started East. He
searched out friends IN Sorel and Montreal,
but found few that he remembered. He in
quired for the woman who, as girl, had 30
many years before thrown him overheard for
a rival. They told him she was widowed;
her husband had been dead many years; she
had been living several years in Montreal;
went to call upon her; met her, and then.
He found her getting old, in poor circum.
stances, with several children, but that made
no difference; he saw only the girl of thirty
six years before On Saturday they we're
married by his Lordship Bishop Fabre, the
wealthy bridegroom being content with no
other dignitary than the highest in that part
of the country. He has bestowed all the
happiness that wealth and affection can upon
his bride and her children, and in short
time they will go to his home in the Black
Hills.-MontredL Star.

GrumbIers Ouiwitted.

that women had neither the strength nor

pointed 10 the organs into which women's
work had gone, and declared that they were
failures; that any skilled ear could detect
inferior workmanship, etc. The grumbling
continued fer months; and finally the NAL

and declared that they would not be employed
any longer IN factory where such frauds
upon the public were permitted. At this the
good Baptist brother became righteously in

paid off and you may leave as soon as you

Woman,s Voice.

Not in the swaying of the summer trees,
When evening breezes sing their vesper hymn
Not the minstrel's mighty symphonies,
Nor ripples breaking on the rivers brim,
High thoughts in happy hearts. and carking cares
beguile.
But even as the swallows silken wings,
SKINNED the water of the sleeping lake,
Stir the still silver with hundred rings
So doth one sound the sleeping spirit wake
To brave the danger and to bear the harm
A low and gentle voice-dear woman's chiefest
charm.
An excellent thing 1t is! and ever lent
To truth. and love, and meekness; they who own
This gift. by the all gracious Giver sent.
Even by quiet step and smile are known;
By kind eyes that have wept, hearts that have
sorrow'd-
By patience never tired. frsm their own trials Dor

An excellent thing it is-when first in gladness
A mother looks into her infants eyes
Smiles TO its smiles, and saddens to its sadness
Pales at its paleness, sorrows at its cries;
Its food and Sleep and smiles and little joys
All these come ever bent with one low, gentle
voice.
An excellent thing it is when life is leaving
Leaving with gloom and gladness, JOYS and
The strong heart failing. and the high soul griev
ing
With strongest thoughts, and wild unwonted
fears;
Then, then woman's low, soft sympathy
Comes like angels voice to teach us how to die.
But a m ost excellent thing 1t is in youth,
When the fond lover hears the loved ones tone,
That fears, but longs, to syllable the truth
How their two hearts are one, and she his own;

be only sixty-three. The insurance company
supposed that she would live to be at least
seventy, and that her annual payments
would secure the company against any loss.
She died, however, very soon sitter insuring
her life, and the company, on learning her
real age, refused to pay the amount OF her
policy. A suit was brought and the company
was defeated, the court holding that the
policy had not been vitiated by the false
representations m ade as TO the woman's age.
This is the first judicial recognition OF

now definitely decided, an nturance policy

scented her age cannot be set aside on the
ground of fraud, much less can a marriage

Women can now safely call their age what
they may choose that others should think it,

she really is need have no fear that her mar
