court to two married women and prom

when she became a widow. Curious
fate after removed both hu Stands sim

in a most embarrassing situation, to get
out of which he ran away to Rome. and
through his friend Cardinal Hohenlohe

course, it was impossible for either of
the promises to be fulfilled. One OF
the widows, princess, forgave him,

about him in revenge.

GODS VEIL OF BEAUTY.

Their kind, their field, their foe. Mans

Sight is mans having all the universe,
dis pass TO the majestical far shore.
But it is not enough, ali not enough
To look upon it and be held away,
And to be sure that, while we tread the
rough,
Remote duh paths of this dun world, no
ray
Shall pierce to us from the inner soul OF
things,
Nor voice thrill out from its deep master

ITO show the Skies and tether to the sod
A daunting giftr we moan in our long
strife;
And God is more than all our thought of
God;
Fen life itself more than our thought of
life,
And that is all we know; and it is noon;
Our little day will soon be done, how soon
oh, let us to ourselves be dutiful;
We are not satisfied, we wanted all,

the novel and momentous question of
''woman suffrage"
The debater upon the ''anti-woman
side was doubtless engaged in his first
effort, and this fact, together with a
slight impeachment Of speech and a
most original series of arguments,
combined TO produce one of the
funniest and most unanswerable

And buying "the milk of one COW"
Then Jennie, who jlted me next, what OF

She's an invalid now, thin and pale,
And her husband has ruined himself, they

A Buffalo telegram announces that

g. Barrett Rich of that city said:

Miss Folsom is now about %, tall in

and vivacious, well read and accom-.

pite her youth, to fulfil the responsible

the President of the United States.
The fact that she is the President s

The smart BOY.

There were two bright little girls OF
for holiday with their Western uncle,
a big. gOOd-natured man with a dia-
mOnd breast-pin, and his voluble son,
lad about the age of his little cousins,
whom he constantly pesterod by his
ruie and dominating behavior. The
boy was a product which it is the de-
spair Of all Europe to produce, and our
travellers had great delight in him as an
epit)m of American ''smartncss. He
led all the conversation. had confident
opinions about everything, easily put
down his deferential papa, and pleased
the other passengers by his self-sufii-
cient know-it-all air. To a boy who
had Travelled In California and seen the
Alps it was not to be expected that
this humble mountain could afford
much entertainment. and he did not
attempt TO conceal his contempt for it.
When the stage reached the Rip Van
Wrinkle House, halfway, the shy
schoolgirls were for indulging in lit
tie sentiment over the old legend, but
