The beaux and bellies Of village sweet
In 81. Mary's pleasant land,
Resolved one Autumn eve 70 meet
And IN club 10 band.
A literary union il was 70 be,
And social too, Of course;
The meeting hour was after Tea
When the crowd would come in force.
A constitution and bylaws
We're speedily drawn up
By three or four within closed doors
So none could interrupt
Each member had 10 sign their name
To the document now matured,
So ell would share the wondrous fame
By IL 70 be secured.
The number fixed at I've and twenty,
Each member went to work,
And intellectual peace and plenty
Around them seemed 10 lurk.
Next came The Ameet" 10 speak and sing
And together dwell in thought,
To quaff away at the Pierian Spring
As each good member ought.
They worked together for sixty dayr,
At orafory and song,
But slss, for them, Sol hid his rays
And the tsBpesf came along.
The membership, as fixed BY law,
The placid waters troubled;
Many opposed the taking more,
Some thought it should be doubled.
Prof Adams, who all along,
Had shown slight unrest.
Now came out boldly and proclaimed
That thirty-flye was best.
Upon this question they did vote,
And the votes did surely tell,
That twenty-five was large enough
And suited very well.
To reconsider" next some tried,
But work Il as they might,
The ballots always testified
That twenty-five was right
The victors then for the sake of peace
To the vanquished next did say,
"We'll make IL thirty if you'll cease
To cause so much delay"
This olive-branch the vanquished spurn,
And say they will not yield;
They quickly to each other turn
And think of another field.
Prof Smoot rose from his chair,
And like Calhoun Of old,
Did then and there at once declare
I'll have to leave the fold.
Prof Adams followed next,
And said he would withdraw;
No limit was his creed and text
As always heretofore.
Miss NJ X was the next to rise,
And leave the Club so dear,
Because it was not just the size
To them it should appear.
And then Miss Ne rose TO say,
That she would go out, too,
Because do not like your way,
cannot stay with you.
Miss A-e, with the bright black eyes,
Said she too would secede;
She could not make a sacrifice
OF her dear and cherished creed.
And now seceeders, great and true,
Be careful how you act,
When next you form social Club
Pray have q little tact.

THE EARTH'S DURATION,
Instructive Speculations Theme {
Never-Ceasing Interest.

Instructive SpecuIations on a Theme OF
Never-Ceasing Interest.
The present age of the earth has
been placed by Sir William Thomson
at 100, 900, 900 years, while the specula-
tions of others have given much larger
figures. NJ. Adolphe d. Assier, who
believes such estimates to be greatly
exaggerated, considers the life of the
earth in three periods, which he terms,
the igneOus or nebulo-stellar stadium,
the stadium of solar illumination or of
organic life, and the stadium of dark
ness. cold and death. The first
which began with the detachment of
the terrestrial nebula from the solar,
and ended in the formation of the
crystalline crust of the globe-he cal
culates from physical laws to have
been 500, 600 years in duration. The
second-comprising the present epoch,
and to close with extinction of the sun,
embracing the entire cycle of geological
formations-is found by geological and
physical evidence as likely to have a
total length of 25,00O,000 years, of
which more that half has passed. The
third misunderstanding from the end
of collar illumination. and closing in
the terrible and inevitable catastrophe
of the fall of the earth to the sun, and
momentarily frightened by the in
of the earth as the moon
crashes into twill have length
that can not be calculated until the
precise rate of acceleration of the mo-
ton of the earth around the center of
attraction is known. but will probably
be, at the lowest estimate, 100, 1000, 600
years or more. Upon the whole. the
present age of the earth appears to be
about 16, 600, 900 years. This is but
small part of its existence. and every
thing leads to the belief that its total
evolution through the immensely oil
space will exceed million centuries.

THE DIVORCE PROBLEM.
Position of the Catholic Church on the
Marriage Question.

Position of the Catholic Church on the
Marriage Question.
Cardinal Gibbons has been inter-
viewed regarding the position of the
Catholic church to the question OF
divorce and remarriage, and he said:
The church holds that under GER
tain circumstances separation may be
necessary. but in no case does it sane
ton divorce implying the right to
remarriage-
THE church holds marriage to be
irrevocable. There is no absolute re-
lease allowed a vinculo. The Gospel
forbids a man to have more than one
wife or wife to have more than one
husband, and we follow the Gospel
teaching.
Marriage is the most aviolable of
all contracts. Adultery alone may
Justify divorce, in the cases of sep
aration. But not in any case does it
justify remarriage during the life
time of the two partners to the we'd
ding contract. Moses, we know, per-
mitted separation in principle, but in
this federation the great law-giver had
regard to the violent passions OF the
Jewish people for whom he legislated.
and to their liability to fall into great
er excess if their desire for a divorce
were altogether refused.
Then. you know, our Lord Himself
SAYS: .Whosoever shall put away his
wife, and shall marry another. COM
mitteth adultery while, though an in
jured consort may be justified by the
Gospel in obtaining a divorce from
bed and board the church firmly
maintains that this does not imply the
privilege of remarrying, whatever Pro-
testant commentators may assert to the
contrary.
when the Pharisees tempted Christ,
You may remember. the Saviour an
swered: And say to you that who
soever. shall put away his wife, except
it be for fornication, and shall marry
another. committeth adultery; and he
that shall marry her that is put away

ABOUT INDIGESTION.
How to Restore the Lack of Balance II
tween Food and Exercise.

How to Restore the Lack of Balance Be-
tween Food and Exercise.
Frequently after eating I have
nausea and palpitation of the heart.
Three or four hours later / have much
gas in the stomach and bowels. My
appetite is good most of the time. Per-
haps 1 eat too much for the exercise
take. / stay much in the house. and I
am a little nervous. | am cOnstipated
when have the bad spells. My only
drink is cold water"
The case is doubtless one of indiges-
ton, caused not by organic disease,
but by a lack of balance between food
and exercise.
The good appetite indicates natur-
ally good digestive powers, but more
food is taken than can be duly di-
gested. Hence it becomes, to greater
or less extent. fermenting mass, and
is thrown into the bowels, where
the fermenting process is con-
tinued. The bile, which is an
alkaline fluid, neutralizes the
thizes with the weakened stomach.
and fails to secrete the normal quantity
of bile, as is indicated by the consti-
patton.
If the patient, instead of being kept
most of the time in the house by
fatiguing domestic duties and the
wearying cares of motherhood, were
a strong man, working from morning
to night in the pure air and sunshine,
her ordinary diet would doubtless be
within safe bounds.
The question for such a person is
one of quantity, not of quality; not
what kinds of food shall take. but
how much; but since long-continued
transgress has weakened the entire
digestive tract, it is desirable, while
the stomach is recovering its normal
tone, to reject all fat meats and what
ever experience has shown to be
specially disturbing.
Every thing designed to quicken the
appetite should be permanently avoid
ed. 1t spurs only to weaken. Rich
pies and pastry should find no place in
the diet.
We would say to all those whose
case is like that of our correspondent,
reduce your diet by one-third. and
watch and wait results. Later, per-
haps, the amount may be increased. 1t
is of the first Importance to secure an
intelligent control of the appetite. A
strong appetite is like good horse;
the stronger the better, if held we'll in
hand. As for tea and coffee, they
weaken digestion. Nothing is better
than water.
The palpitation in the above case is
due to the sympathy of the heart with
the disturbed stomach. 1t need give
no concern. Frequent bathing, fol-
lowed by brisk friction. is greatly help
full. and outdoor exercise is a neces-
