Consent not 10 join one Of the many rcgi-

II you are ambitious, oh woman, for noble
aliiaacing, why not marry kinsi And 10
that honor you are invited by the monarch
OF heaven and earth, and this day a voice
from the skies sounds forth: '.As the bride
groom rei0iceth over the bride so shall thy
Cod rejoice over thee" Let Him put upon
thee the ring Of this royal marriage. Here is
an honor worth reaching after. BY repent
ance and faith you may come into G marriage
with the emperor of universal dominion, and
you may be 81 empress unto God forever,
and reign with bin ia palaces that the CEN
turies cannot crUmble or csnnonades do
molish.
High worldly marriage is not necessary for
woman, or marriage OF any kind in order to
your happiness. C-lbscy has been honored
by the best being that ever lived and his
greatest apostle, Christ and Paul What
higher honor could single life on earth have!
But what you need, Oh woman. Is to be af.i-
anced forever and forever, aud tiis bands Of
that marriage l am this moment here and
now ready 10 publish. Let the angels Of
heaven bend from their galleries Of light 10
witness while pronounce You one-a loving
God and forgiven soul. One of tho most
stirring passages in history with which L am
acquainted tells MS how Cleopatra, the exiled
queen of Egypt, won the sympatb, IS of Julius
Cesar, the conqueror, until he became the
bridegroom and she the bride. Driven from
her throne, she sailed away on the Mediter-
ranean sea in storm, and when the large
ship anchored she put out with one womanly
friend in a small boat until she arrived at
Alexandria, where was Cesar, the great gen.
eral. Knowing that she would not be per-
nitted to land or pass the guards on the way
10 Csesars palace, sAe laid upon the bottom
of5he boat some shawls and scarfs and richly
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 announced as a
present for Cesar. This bundle was permit
ted to pass tho 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 Caesar one whose
courage and beauty and brilliancy are the
astonishment of the ages. This exiled queen
of Egypt told the story of her sorTows, 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

"Cleopstra's Barge" and that barge was COW
