a Bells Five Hundred Years.

The city of Brcslau celebrated the five
hundrcdth anniversary of an occurrence
which was memorable IN tho history of
the town and is known wherever Ger
man poetry finds q home. The bell
which hangs in the southern tower of
st. Mary Magdalcns Church and is
named est. Mary's bell" but is usually
known as "thc poor sinners bell" rang
ont morning and evening on the 18th of
July to remind all who heard it that 1t
was cast on that day five hundred years
ago. Next day Sunday the preacher
reminded his congregation of the
pathetic story which has made it singu-
lar among bells, how, when Ill was
ready for casting, the bell founder with
drew Tor few moments, leaving a boy
i'll charge of the furnace, warming him
not to mcddle with the catch that Sc
cured the seething metal in the caldron.
But the boy disrcgardcd the caution,
and then, terrific on seeing the molten
metal beginning to flow into the mould,
called to the bell founder for help.
flushing in and seeing what he had in
tended to be his masterpiece ruincd as
he thought, angcred to madness, he slew
the boy on the spot. When the metal
had cooled and the mould was opened,
the bell was found to be an exquisite
work, perfect in finish, and of marvellous
sweetness Of tone. Coming to his senses,
he recognized his bloody work and
gave himself to the magis-
tratcs. "Blood for blood" was the law;
he was condemned to die, and he went
to his doom while his beautiful bell
pcalcd an invitation to all to pray for
''thc poor sinner" whence its namc.

chief end of woman is to marry. And it
# no less true that the question of mar
riage is one i'll which the women of the
world arc more nearly interested than III
any other. This being the case, the Won
der grows that there are so many i'll
assorted marriages and unhappy homes.
a little common sense in matri-
monial affairs, although it may despoil
the courting days of something of their
romance, is n very good thing. = =
Man, OF all animals, is the most stls-
ccptiblo to creature comfort. A loving
heart and II carcssing hand arc very al
Turing, but they lose some of their en-
chantment if they forget to season the

shirt buttons and sock heels.

woman's natural impulses lead her to
choose ruler and guide in her husband.
Veryfew women desire to rule the man
to whom they link their destiny. The
true wifo gives to her husband her hearts
best gift; she rejoices il him, is proud of
him, and wishes the whole world to be in
sympathy with her. But let her not err
in thinking that her love can hold his.
The love which prompts unsclfshness,
thongbtfulness and consideration is very
good, s0f as it goes; but il must be
tempered with common sense, so that in
its absorption it does not neglect the
comfort of tho house and forget to be
agreeable and dainty. Philadelphia Re
