Destruction OF a Historical Temple.

and the destruction Of the "Uempl, Of

Married Bliss.

"You ought to get married, Bill"
said Spuddles to young friend OF his
as the two were leaning over the front
gate Of the Spuddles cottage, talking
about old times.
"DOnt know" said the doubling
William, "it strikes me that single
life beats your married bliss out OF
sight" =,
"Theres Just where you are of, old
boy" said Spuddles. "You know J.
used to be one of the gayest Of our
gang, but now, since I've tried married
life 4 year, I'm twice as happy. L have
n COW home, u nice little wife, and one
of the sweetest Of children, and when
nv days work is done ] come home
and ali is peace and harmony. No
Bill, the old life has no charms for mo

Just then the door opened and Mrs.
Spuddles' head protruded.
"Mr. Spuddles, run right mp town

was flying up the street at gait that
would have charmed an admirer OF fast
stock, so we suppose he did not hear his
wife when she raised her voice to the
highest pitch and fairly screamed:
"Coms by old Tubbingers and see il
Sally con wash for me this week."
The door CLOSED with slam, and the
happy wife muttcred:

glowing language the insincerity which
underlios much of the modern society

the necessity OF an earnest, vital.

Les me tell you AZ incident tat came

In n tree near An old fashioned farm
house way mp in Vermont, two robins
built their nest. A lady watched them
day by day bring stravs, and bit OF
cotton or thread and weave taern deity
in TO form the summer home. One
morning she found three blue, specaied
eggs in the nest, aud, on another. three
tiny little birds III their place. how bu-
sy the father and mother birds were,

When they were large enough, they
gave thsm lessons III flying, and herein
seems the point of my story. Nnen
they were trying their wings one day a
Cat caught one, and before the young

creature back in its nest and loft Ii

1t was of no use. The cats cruel
claws and sharp teeth had done theii
work, and their victim died. A few
days after, the lady seeing and hearing

nest, and found that they had built a
matched roof over the poor little bird

claws sticking mp through the straws
