your happiness Celibacy mas been nonore1

greatest apostle. Christ and Paul What
higher honor could single life ON earth haveI
But what you need, oh woman, is 10 be all
enced forever and forever, and the bands OF
that marriage / am this moment here and
now ready to publish. Let the angels Of
heaven bend from their galleries Of light to
witness while pronounce You one-a loving
God and n forgiven soul One OF the most
stirring passages In history with which am
acquainted tells us how Cleopatra, the exiled
queen Of Egypt won the symLathies OF Julius
! Cesar, the co1gueror, until he b,cams the
bridegroom and she the bride. Driven from
| her throne, she sailed away on the Mediter-
ranean sea in storm, aud when the large
ship anchored she put out with one womanly
| friend in a small boat until she arrived at
Alexandria where was Caesar, the great gen.
sral Knowing that she would not be per-
mitted to land or pass the guards on the way
| to Caesars palace, she laid upon the bottom
| of the boat some shawls and scarfs and rich
| ly dyed upholstery, and then lay down upon
them, and her friend wrapped her in them
and she was admitted ashore in this wrap
| ping of goods which was announcer as
present for Caesar. This bundle was permit
| ted to pass the guards of the gates of the
palace and was put down at the feet of the
| Roman General When the bundle was un.
rolled there rose before Cesar one whose
| courage and beauty and brlliiancY are tho
astonishment of the ages. This exiled queen
of Egypt told the story OF her sorrows, and
he promised her that she should get back her
throne in Egypt and take the throne OF wifely
dominion in his own heart. Afterward they
made triumphal tour in barge that the
pictures of many art galleries nave calien
HCleopatras Barge" and that barge was COW
cred with silken awning, and its deck was
soft with luxuriant carpets, and the oars
were silver tipped, and the PROV was gold
mounted, and the air was redolent with the
spicery of tropical gard ems and resonant
with the mu &c that made the night glad as
the day You may rejoice, oh woman, that yon
are not a Cleopatra, and that the one TO
whom you may be atlianced had none or the
sins of Caesar, the conqueror. But it suggests
to me how you, a soul exiled from happiness
and peace, may find your way TO the feet OF
the conaueror OF earth and sky. Though u
may be a dark night of spiritual agitatlonsln
which you put out, into the harbor OF peace
YOU may sail, AMI when all the wrappngs OF
fear and douE,t and sin shall be removed you
will be found at the feet of Him who VIII put
YOU on a throne to be acknowledged as his
in the day when all the silver trumpets OF
the sky shall proclaim: Behold the bride
groom cometh," and in barge of light you
sail with him the river whose source is the
foot of the throne and whose mouth Is at the
sea of glass mingled with fire.

He FOrgaye Them,

A little boy had been extremely
naughty at dinner and had been sent
away from the table just as his favorite
dessert-cabinet pudding with butter
and sugar sauce-was being served.
About 9 o'clock that evening, when the
other children had gone to bed and his
parents were alone in the sitting-room,
tear-stained little face and white
robcd figure appeared at the door.
Mamma" it said, bravely, between
sobs, "you told me never to go to sleep
when anything wrong had been done
until it was all fixed up right, so l came
down to tell you that-that-that T.
forgive you and papa for what you did
to me at the dinner table,"

Pigeons as Weather Reporters.

Mr.. ODonnell, of the United States

Nassau in the Bahamas. When the
birds are trained they are to be given
to sea captains to take to sea and send
home again with weather reports. The
service is expected to BIO useful in the
West India islands.

How to be a "Nobody. ="

1t is easy to be nobody, and the Waterman
tells how to do it. Go to the drinking saloon to
spend your leisure time. You need not drink
much now-iust a little beer or some other
drink. In the meantime, play dominoes,
checkers, or something else to kill time, so
that you will be sure not to read any useful
books. If you read anything, let it be the
dime novel of the day. Thus go on keeping
your stomach full and your head empty, and
yourself playing time killing games, and in
few years you will be first-class nobody. un-
less you should turn out drunkard or pro-
fessional gambler, either of which is worse
than nobody. There are any number of men
hanging about saloons just ready to graduate
and be nobodies.

A womnn,s Sweet VIII.

She Is permaturely deprived Of her charms
of face and form, and made unattractive by
the wasting effects of ailments and irregularf-

upon her amiable qualities as well, is her first
duty. This is safely and speedily accom-
plished by a course of self-treatment with Dr.
