Some time in each mans life
Comes the strange spirit-doubt;
He cannot shut it out,
Or Danish it by pleasure, rest or strife.
He doubts humanity;
He questions whether Providence exists
And, swathed in binding mists,
Religion seems to him profanity.
Then, once again, goes up
That question: there any God,
Or any life beyond the sod
With which the sexton rounds the grave mound up
And, as of old, he asks,
"Where is the promise of His coming Z" for
Since patriarchs fell asleep, even as before,
Evils foul serpent form i the sunshine basks;
While contradiction strange,
Still makes paradox of human life,
The sacred books with errors clouds are rife,
And through their volumns devils seem to range.
But though he gropes right on,
No answer comes distinct to give him rest;
He too must live in darkness like the best,
Who in the vanished past no vision won.
Yet, when the shafting band
OF myths and phantases have left him lone,
--~sseps down the angel Duty from her throne,
And takes him by the hand.

But at the core,
Holding but bitter dust and blight.

Holding but Dltter dust anu DIlSut.
When first, a short month since, I
entered upon my responsible and lucra-
tive duties as answerer to correspondents,
editor life seemed golden dream of
wealth and comfort. An hours inves-
tigation furnished replies to the farmer
who wanted a poison for potato bugs,
to the grocer who wanted to know the
history of rice, or the traveller who
wanted to reach China 1t was nothing
to give the value of rare coins, to tell
how old the paper was, or to write
brief biography of a favorite author
True it was little monotonous. Fatal
passiveness. Beyond the clear calm of
restfulness and peace hovered the hor-
rible danger of a wild irruption I little
imagined.
One day there came letter from
Samuel Bassett, Sauk Centre, Wis 1t
enclosed the photograph of a beautiful
girl, and it read:
'Alr. Ealto, will you please inform
an old subscriber what you think of the
face l enclose? l am going to marry
her. Will she make good wife2 Also,
please give me specimen of love let
ter-a real warm, gushing one-to write

put that photograph in my pocket.
Then scribbled off a sample love letter.
l am an adept at the art, and l made it
tender as mush. Samuel Bassett's con-
fdence in me decided me to send it by
mail. The photograph and letter put
in my pocket and went home. Some
how lost them, for the next day they
were missing.
If had been very observant man l
would have noticed suspicious change
in my wlfe's manner the next evening
There was tigerish ferocity in her well
come of me, but l attributed it to the
fact that her neighbor had bought a new
bonnet that day. The next day she
said ominously;
my big brother, Charles, is coming
here tomorrow
Glad to know it. We must make
Charley comfortable I replied.
She laughed Historically | stared at
her, and thought no more of it.
That day there was another coniden-
tial letter for me to answer.

B@aIn an article on engagement rings
a French writer says: DO not choose
the ruby, it is too snowy, loud and in
discreet. Good taste inclines towards
the sapphire and diamond, of which the
one does not go we'll without the other.
Do not choose a large sapphire sur

The torquoise is also tasteful stone,

the immense disadvantage to change
color, and to this change most women
