AT a MASQUERADE,
How Mr.. Blank Fooled His Bettor-H

How Mr.. Blank Fooled His Bettor-Half
to His Own Satisfaction.
It was in a town not q thousand miles
from Boston that there were recently
given a couple Of masque parties
at private houses, says the Boston Cour-
Ter. At tho second OF these the hostess
of the first party found herself talking
very amiably with a mask in whom she
supposed herself to recognize q gontle-
man who had como to the own Just
after her own entertainment. Simply
for the sake of making conversation,
and Of throwing the gentleman of the
cen of her own identity, -hc ask d:
"Were you at Mrs. Blanks masqus
party?"
mo-" he answered. 81 was not on
ored with an invitation"
Were you here at the timer she
asked.
Eyes," he answered, but Mrs. Blank
does not like me-"
CONSERVATION seized upon Mrs. Blank,
tray herself.
Doesn't she?" she returned careless
ly. Probably that is one of the things
which you imagine. Some people are
always supposing that othersdo not like
them, you know"
Her companion seemed q trife an
noyed.
81 am not one OF that sort" no retort-
ed. rather brusqueiy. Besides, she
has intimated to me that she did not
like me-"
sis 1t fair to ask howP" Mrs. Blank
asked, entirely mystifod in regard to
the Identity Of her interlocutor.
why, | should not mind telling you
II / were sure that you wouldn't repeat
it."
"Oh. l never betray a confidence" the
lady said eagerly.
The gentleman leaned over until his
face under Its mask was near to hers.
~ asked her to marry mo-"
Mrs. Blank was moro startled than
ever The train of her old s%uitors, and
in her day she had had not q few, came
up before her mental vision, and she
wondered which one of them chance had
brought to her side tonight, but In vain.
But" she said, slowly, because q
lady refused you 1t need not follow that
she disliked you. / am sure q woman is
not to be- supposed to dislike overy man
she docs not wish to marry. That would
be q most absurd assumption"
ITO be sure It would" he sssented,
cheerfully; but In this particular ease
she did not refuse me-"
Ibid not refuse you'll" echoed Mrs.
Blank in astonishment. "She certainly
did not accept you?"
That Is precisely what she did do"
at Is not" Mrs. Blank began; and
then considering that II she said true 1t
would be showing more knowledge Of
Mrs. Blanks affairs than was compati-
BILE with pretending to be another per-
son, she changed her sentence and said:
"creditable that she should accept you
and hen marry another man"
"She didn't, Kate" hen husband said
in his Owl voice, ''she married me-"
Toni" she cried.
"Yes, my dear" Tom answered. ''you
told me ut our party that | couldn't fool
you"
you are a wretch and a monster!"
she declared, "und will never forgive
you"
But she did. and told the joke at hor
own expense before tho evening was
over.

killed eighteen of its admirers, but
this idol, to whose worship the ex-
changes and banks and custom houses
of the world have beer dedicated, will
fail and crush to death It's thousands.
But | can not enumerate the idolatrieS
to which men give themselves. They
are kept by them from a religious life.
"Ye can not serve God and Mammon,"
and the first thing that Christ does when
He comes into the temple of the soul
is to drive out the eXchangers.
But it was not only the gods of Moab
that made Orpah leave her sister and
mother-in-law. She doubtless had a
dread Of the hardships to which they
would be exposed on the journey to
Bethlehem, and Orpah was not alone in
the fear. Doubtless some of you have
been appalled, and driven back by the
self-denia ais of the Christian life. The
taunt of the world, the charge of hypoc-
risy which they would sometimes be
obliged to confront, has kept many
away from Bethlehem. They spend
their life in counting the cost, and be-
cause a Christian life demands so much
courage and faith they dare not begin
to build. Perhaps they are courageous
in every other respect. They are not
timid in presence of any danger except
that of trusting to the infinite mercy Of
Christ.
What has God aver done that His
mercy should be doubted? Was there
ever a sorrow of His f~railest child that
He did not pity? Was there ever a soul
that He left unhelped in the darkness?
Was there ever IA martyr that He did
not strengthen in the flamesp Was
there ever a dying man to whose relief
He did not come at the cry of Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit?" Aye, my
soul, what has God done that so basely
thou hast doubted Him? Did He make
the whole earth a desert? Are all the
skies dark and storm-swept? Is life all
sickness2 Is the air all plague? Are
there nothing but rods and scorpions
and furnaces? God knew how many
suspicious and unbeliefs men would
entertain in regard to Him, and,
therefore, after making a multitude of
plain and precious promises, He places
His hand on His own heart and swears
by His own existence: Gas | live, saith
the Lord God, 1 have no pleasure in the
death of him hat dieth." Why then
fight against God? This day the battle
RACES. Thou art armed with thy sins,
thy ingratitude, thy neglects, and Christ
is armed against thee, but His weapons
are tears, are dying agonies, are calls to
mercy, and the battle cry which He his
day sends over thy soul as He rushes
toward thee is save thee from going
down to the pit for / have found a ran
SON." l would not envy thy victory. o
nearer, if thou dost conquer, for what
wilt thou do with the weapons thou hast
snatched from the armed Redeemer,
what with the tears, what with His dying
agonies, what with His calls to mercy?
Would God that Orpah would get tired
of Moab! Would God that orpah would
go to Bethlehem.

THE THUMB.

The Chinese, for several Thousand
years. have recorded the Identification
al persons by means of thumb prints,
aad the method 10 claimed to be In
tailiUle. IL is said that no two human
Beings haze identical thambs, and that
no man's thnmb changes except by
some accident, such as 9 cut or other
wound. IL the thumb, therefore, is
Aaubed with ink and firmly pressed
