thoughts ran on and on /; but presently she
started violently
.sWhat is it. dear!'
Captain Delaney had just entered the
room and saw with alarm the flush deepen
ON the pale face, and that wild look of de
lirium creeping into the dark eyes again.
He had talked with her only yesterday
in the glowing of the October sunshine, held
her thin white hands confidently in his own,
and felt sure that the pain and suffering
were over. She had seemed so contented
and hopeful, but now the thin hands fiut-
tered wildly and the restless eyes failed In
recognition.

one loved face TO the other as they bent

The fever Of delirium had burned cut
Pale as a lily lay Christie in the sunset

sands OF life were about run out
The cold hps moved; they stopped TO catch

Alas! Cedar-wood!' -
A sigh-a shuddcr, and it was over; gos.

such woman to walk to the polling

The Uses of Electricity.

People are prepared to accept any
claims put forth for electricity. 1t is
apparently to be the motive power in
transit for passengers and things to an
extent impossible now to limit. 1t
has not probably occurred to some
that it is to be valuable factor in the
churches. 1t lights them at night,
and in New York many of the largest
organs are pumped by electricity, and
it is believed this will become gen
eral where the connections are possi-
Bile. The telephone has shown its
possibilities in the way of reporting
sermons to the absent. Tho phono-
graph, too, will come and record the
words and voice, and reproduce them,
no doubt eventually with fullness of
expression and volume. Talmage and
other great preachers will speak their
discourses into the monographs with
all the vocal ranges, and they will be
repeated to audiences all over the
country. The photoscope will be per-
fected so as to present the speaker
with all his dramatic posing and eye
rolling, and electricity will be the in
ducing agent to all the church re-
citals-St. Paul Globe.

MARRY A MANI

Don't marry man to reform himi
To God and your own self be true.
Don't link to his vices your virtue;
You'll rue it. dear girl, II you do.
No matter how fervent his pleadingS
Be not by his promises lead;.
II he can't be man while a-woo'ng,
He'll never be one when he's wed.
Don't marry man to reform him
To repent it, alas, when too late;
The mission of wives least successful
Is the making OF crooked limits straight.
There's many maiden has tried it,
And proved it failure at last;
Better tread your life's pathway alone, dear,
Than wed with lover that's fast"
Mankind's much the same the world over;
The exceptions you'll find are but few;
When the rule is defeat and disaster,
The chances are great against you.
Don't trust your bright hopes for the future,
The beautiful crown Of your youth,
To the keeping OF him who holds lightly
His fair name of honor and truth.
To ''honoc and love" you must promise;
Don't pledge what you can not fulfil.
If he'll have no respect for himself, dear,
Most sure y you, then, never will.
IT'S told OF US the frown Of woman
Is strong as the blow of a man.
And the world will be better when women
Frown on g rror as hard as they can.
Make virtue the price OF your favor;
Place wrong-doing under ban;
And let him who will win and wed you
Prove himself in full measure mani

A STRONG CLAIM.
A Good Point In Favor of Woman's Rep
rcsentation.

rcSentat1ons
In the reply of many distinguished
English women to the ladies' protest
against woman suffrage in the Nine
teenth Century, they make ths follow.
ing good point:
The ladies' protest gives prominence
to the fact that women's work for the
State is different from that of men, and
that many minor differences follow as
natural consequence from the funda-
mental difference of sex. This differ
ence is one of the strongest claims
which women have to representation.
Ii men and women were exactly alike,
and thought and felt alike on all SUBJ
jects, if their work in the world were
exactly the same, women would not
suffer. and the State would not suffer,
from the misrepresentation of one part
of the homogeneous mass. But, being
different, that wherein they differ re-
mains unrepresented 1t is a loss to
the State that women's knowledge of
home and domestic life, their expert,
ence on such subjects as the care OF
children and the service of the poor,
should not have its weight in influence
ing the representation of the country
and the course of legislation. 1t is not
urged that these things, Of which wom-
en- have special knowledge, should
have preponderating influence; but il
Parliament is to be the mirror of the
nation, they should have their place in
the representative system. More
than one instance could be adduced in
which blunders have been made in
