I'VE teach a Sunday school clasp "Nes,
indeed" said pretty young st. Paul society
lady the other day. For long time used
every Sunday to teach a class of little boys
at the Mission Sunday school, branch OF our
church at home. There were quite NUMBER
4 them ranging from to Il years old, and
they were just as intelligent and smart as l
could have wished. But. do you know. the
first Sunday that / took that class L was
amused. OF course, | wanted to know their
names, where they lived, and IN fact VINO
they were. Questioning them in turn found
their answers quite satisfactory, until came
to a bright little fellow about 10 years olu.
He told me his name and where he lived, but
when asked him his fathers business he DID
not reply at once. l treasured him with my
brightest smile, but felt dubious when he said
he guessed he couldn't tell me that. My Gu
riosity was now aroused. and at once made
up my mind to know all about It. Thlnklng
Of the horrid dYnamiters and burglars, and
all those awful men we are constantly near
ing about, il was with some trepldatlon that
l insisted on his telling me. His reply re :

No DowRY has been asked for by Prince
COlonna with Miss Mackay, his bride. Two
uncles of the bridegroom who brought him up,
and of whom he is heir, are making him a
handsome settlement. He is q years old and
is in the Italian army. He is to be attached
to the Duke of AOsta's household. Queen Is
abella has written on the occasion an ahec-
Tomato letter to Mrs. Mackay. Her Majesty had
few winters ago hoped for marriage be-
tween the young lady and one of her nephews,
but as there was no love on one side, and an
American feeling against forming royal con-
nectlOns, nothing came of the good offices of
the Queen mother. The Queen of Italy has
also conveyed, through the Countess Telfner,
aunt of the bride desi gnate, her best wishes,
and expressed her great satisfaction at the
prospect of seeing her often in Rome, where
the cOurtship began. Miss Eva Mackay II
what the French term Hli0HORne. Without
any shyness she is the reverse of self
tive, has attractive manners and a charming
expression. The two Colonna uncles took a
great fancy to her, and write that in marry
ing their nephew she will gain two fathers.
Mrs. Mackay has been asked by various illus
trattd journals to give them Ikeness5s OF her
daughter and son-in-law, but has declined, as
she does not wish the eyes Of the world to see
into her domestic hearth.
A YOUNG GENTLEMAN and lady, recently in
New York city, paid a friendly call together
| upon friends who had been lately married,
and were staying at prominent uptown
hotel. 1t was in the evening of the coolest
! day of the winter. They left the hotel about
| II o'clock by the ladies' entrance, which was
GA a side street. That is. they got as far as
| the vestibule and found the outer door locked
| and the key withdrawn. Turning to re enter
| they discovered that the inner door which
| shut with a spring locked itself also IN the
! same way. There was nothing to do but to
! summon the porter, not by ringing, for there
| was no bell in the yestibule, but by vigorous
/ knocks on the oaken panels. But the porte +
was asleep or absent from his post, and their
4 lOudest alarms failed 10 bring him 10
their assistance. Then the lady's escort
/ tried his s-cength on the outer door, hoping
1 to attract the attention of some passer-
/ by, but the night was bitterly cold
| and no one heard or came. 1t must he
acknowledged the situation " as serious. The
! young man knocked, he pounded ard beat
| upon the doors with feet and fists, while his
! companion laughed and cried alternately. IL
| seems incredible in such well-ms mayed
| town as New York is, but it is nevertheless
/ true that not until an hour had passed an
the imprisoned couple were nearly helpless
! with exhaustion and half frozen with the cold
! that the sleepy porter appeared and opened
/ the door. And as the hero OF this adventure
relates it, 1.-The fellow began to abuse me for
waking up all the guests IN the house, and in =
/ key and we must so out of the main entrance.
/ We did, Lut not before | had seen the porter
| at the foot Of high pair of stairs. But,dO you
! know, | would rather lead a fOrlOrn hope to
| KhartOum or the North Pole than 90 through
/ that hours experience again"
