The grateful people did what they could
to honor his AIemory-grander obsequies

solemnity was appalling, if the word may
be used. From the cathedral the miles

lined with weeping thousands. At st. Mich

as the banner covered coffin was born out
a shrek was heard, and a women fell, her
head striking heavily against the stone floor

to the dust, with all honors to the memory

rounds, found a woman, heavily draped in

story was bruited about, was astonished.
The wonderment grew more when it becme
known that she was Iowrie's wife. The
two had been secretly married in England,
but owing to circumstances, had never
ayowed their union. Lowrie, at the time
of their marriage, had nothing but his pay,
while the lady had nothing at all. He had
been ordered to India, and while there the
lady permitted the advances of a sutton
favored by her parents. Lowrie heard of
this, hurried home to England, declared
his relationship to the lady, denounced
her for her perfdy, and then departed for
the station, where he met his death.

Man as q HOusekeeper.

Man is o creature that has always elic-
tied our unqualified admiration he is in
many capacities useful, and, by judicious
arrangement of blue cloth and brass but
tons, can often be rendered, to certain
degree, ornamental. In the sphere of
action, for which his many estimsble
characteristics have qualified him, we ac-
cept him without murmur but when it
comes to having him foisted upon us as a
housekeeper, we Indignantly reject him.
that capacity, and he is an ignominious
failure. For the ornamental part of
housekeeper, he is peculiarly unified his
soul is closed and his vision dim to the
truly beautiful. He scorns bric-a.brac
and is not susceptible to the ennobling
and refining influence Of that home angel,

An Astonishing Fact.

We do not realize that we are growing
old until it has become an accomplished
fact. Children grow up around US, but
we get used to that, and seldom stop to
compute their ages and realize the swift
flight of the years. In fact, our
children never get old to us. The wife,
who has stood lovingly and faithfully at
our side so long, never changes, and is al.
ways the fair young bride of the old and
happy days. Aud so with the husband
to the wife. Though his hair might have
grown gray in some way which we do not
understand, and his firm step may seem a
little less elastic or firm than it was, the
husband does not seem to have
changed much after all. The friends of
our youth become gray-headed; yet they
are not old. Some one-he may have
been philosopher-has said that If we
doubt whether we are really growing old
we should look in the face of friend we
have not seen in twenty years. The
writer tried that few days ago. He did
more he looked in the face of friend
he had not seen for nearly forty years
What his thoughts of him was he does
not know. They were both too polite tc
express their thoughts. He knows he KEEP
wondering, and wonders yet, what had
happened to his friend that he should looh

brought him face to face with fact which
astonished him.--Selected.

who was made entirely from flowers.

Where summer blow;
I'll make me a little sister

I'll make her body Of lilies,
Because they're soft and white;

with dew-drops shining bright
I'll make her lips Of rosebuds.
Her cheeks Of rose-eaves-red
Her hair Of silky corn-tops,
All braided round her head

The Temple OF Karnak.

The little village halfway between Kar-
max and Luxor looked specially beautiful
and Oriental, with its white houses half
visible in the moonlight, half hidden by
groups of date and dome palms, and by
fragrant creepers. just outside the tenn
pie, where the moonlight shone brightest,
six white-robed Arabs were saying their
prayers, with many pr ostrations and gen.
affections. Mshomedanism has a pecu.
liar influence over the lower class of its
votaries, far greater in some respects than
that of Christianity in any of its forms.
The precepts it inculcates are undeniably
good and sound, and in many cases worthy
of imitation, even if we are unable to &C.
cept them as a whole. The Temple of
Karnak, in the cold moonlight, is indeed
sight to be seen and thing to be
dreamed of in years to come. If ever
live to be old, grsy-headed and rheumatic,
only able to occupy an armchair by the
Preside, feel sure that the remembrance
of the scene, as bebeld it tonight, will
always remain in my mind as that thing
of beauty which is Joy forever. The
tender but bright light exhibited all the
exquisite proportions OF the building to
perfection, and seemed to throw delicate
veil over the scars and scratches made by
the rude fingers of relentless time, or by
the hand of the spoiler. Everything
seemed more perfect than in the garish
light of MONDAY. Columns appeared to
be without crack or flaw, colossi concealed
their general delapidation obelisks looked
even higher and more pointed; the ave-
