Gypsy Lore.

The wandering e1iles whose origin has been traced to the valley of the h. dies make 1t a rule to conform to the dominant creeds of their adaptive lands They are good Mussulmen in Turkey, Roman Catholics in Austria, and Protestant Christians in northern Germany and the United States But in addition to those dogmas of expe- diency, they profess tenets of an elder creed which has been defined as a sort of sun worship, and involves rites which are still observed at certain times of the year, or even publicly upon ex- traordinary occasions. A few weeks ago hundreds of gypsies assembled at Mascoutah, Ills, to attend the funeral rites of "Prince" Celiouka Laja. the young son of an influential chieftain. The body of the little nomad was buried with strange incantations, after having been completely stripped and exposed for six hours to the hallowing rays of the sun.-Ekchange.

Will Be Married in the Fall.

The people who were at the steam. boat wha.f ill Bucksport Saturday noon when the steamer Lewiston left for Bos- ton were treated to all interesting cpl. sode which was as rare as it was anus ing to all concerned.
 Two lovers became so engroSsed in each other in the waiting room that the blanks had been removed and the bow line thrown off before they realized the situation, but nothing daunted, the lovers started arm in arm at a double quick down the slip and lcaped on board, while friend followed with the trunk, which in their innocent biiS they had forgotten to have checked, and the boat baggage men had conse- quently not taken.
 The best was to come. for the lover had meanwhile returned to the wharf, when the shrill voice of the maiden was heard above the din as the boat was swinging away from the pier. "Come here a minute"
 The obedient lover again leaped ou board mid the cheers of the crowd and the encouraging cry of those interested, You have forgotten to kiss her good. by," and clasping the maiden around the neck in a loving embrace, implailt. ed a hearty smack upon her lips, and with one last desperate leap again re- gained the pier, while the air resounded with the cheers, clapping, etc., from the witnesses on the wharf and the boat.
 Some one remarked that the scene was good enough to put in the paper, when the lover with radiant face said, ''I'u have something better than tha: for the paper by and by, for she has been up here for fortnight, and l have taken her all around to my folks, and they all think have made fine choice-you just wait till fall.

Making Uso of Her Fl usband.

An old lady in Mississippi river town was a practically philosophic soul and was satisfied with things as they existed. Her old man was drowned in the river. and his body was not recovered for a long while, when it was discovered by some boatmen. One of them went to her and said: Madam. we've found the body of your husband and taken 1t out of the river, and it's chock full of cells. What shall we do with it2''
 "Well," said the. old lady, 'I reckon you had better secure the cells and set it again. Chicago Herald.

cities know that pomp and opulence

cities know that pomp and opulence and temporal prosperity are no security. Those ancient cities lacked nothing but good morals. Dissipation and sin slew them, and unless dissipation and sin are halted they will some day slay our modern cities. and leave our palaces of merchandise, and our galleries of art, and our city halls as flat in the dust as we found Memphis on the afternoon of that Thanksgiving day. And if the cities go down the nation will go down. "Oh," you say. that is impossible; we have stood so long-yea, over a hun dred years as a nation" Why, what of that7 Thebes stood five hundred years; Memphis stood a thousand years. God does not forget. One day with the Lord is as thousand years and a thousand years as one day.
 Rum and debauchery and bad poli- tics are more rapidly working the de- struction of our American cities than sin of any kind and all kinds worked for the destruction of the cities of Afri- ca, once so mighty and now so pros trate. But their gods were idols, and could do nothing except for debase- ment. Our God made the heavens and sent his Son to redeem the nations. And our cities will not go down, and our nation will not perish, because the Gospel is going to triumph. Fowardl all schools and colleges and churchesl Forward! all reformatory and mission ary organizations Forwardl all th3 influences inarshaled to bless the world. Let our modern European and American cities listen to the voice of those ancient cities resurrected, and by hammer and chisel and crowbar be compelled to speak.
 VOICES FROM THE PAST
 notice the voice of those ancient cities is hoarse from the exposure of forty centuries. and they accentuate slowly with lips that were palsied for ages, but all together those cities along the Nile intone these words: Hear us for we are very old, and it is hard for us to speak. We were wise long before Athens learned her first lesson. We sailed our ships while yet navigation was unborn. These obelisks, these pyr- amids, these fallen pillars. these wrecked temples. these colossi of black granite, these wrecked sarcophagi under the brow of the hills, tell you of what was in grandeur and of what am coming down to be. We sinned and we fell. Our learning could not save us. See those half obliterated hieroglyphics on yon- der wall. Our architecture could not save us: See the painted columns of Phil@ and the shattered temple of Es- neh. Our heroes could not save us: Witness Menes, Diodorus, RaIneses and Ptolemy. Our gods, Ammon and Osiris, could not save us. See their fallen temples all along the four thou sand miles of Nile. Oh, ye modern cities, get some other Coda God who can help, a God who can pardon, . God who can save. Called up as we are for a little while to give testimony, again the sands of the desert will bury us Ashes to ashes, dust to dusti" And as these voices of porphyry and granite ceased, all the sarcophagi under the hills responded, Ashes to ashesl" and the capital of lofty column fell, grind ing itself to powder under the rocks. and responding, Dust to dusti"
