Had each lovers token
To mark the holiday:
Maud's was q stately mansion
With towers and spires above;
Mays was diamond necklace,
And mine was oland's love.
Maud's sutton was banker,
White.haired and stout and old;
And Mays u proud patrician
With wealth Of lapds aud gold
But mine was Just toilcr
Content with humble part;
He had but this TO offer
A true and loving heart.
Maud leads, within her mansion
An empty life OF show.
And Mays rich jewels cover
heart that throbs with woe;
But in my heart forever
Love sings her joyous lays;
She lightens all my burdens
And brightens all my ways.
Rare gems and stately mansions
Are but the price OF gold;
But love is aye God given
And never bought or sold.
1t is the souls glad sunshine;
II Is the hearts sweet rest;
And rich or poor. IN loving
We are forever blest.
Then Oh be glad this morning
II such q gift is yours,
For gold'bought joys are changeful,
But honest love endures.
Though lowly may your lot be,
In royal state apart
God crowns you when He gives you
The love OF one true heart.

MISTRESS OF GRAY GABLES
The Secret That Brings a Prayer to
Her Neighbors' Lips.

correspondent writing from Buz-
cards bay, Mass, closes a well written
descriptive article with this pleasant and
delicate reference to the mistress of Gray
Gables:
''But of late Mrs. Cleveland has not
cared much to leave Gray Gables. She
cocsent move about nearly as much as
she did. She loves best to sit upon the
vcranda, with her husband at her side,
or walk slowing with bim hand in hand

Before they went away Mr. Benedict, his

Cod bay on fishing trip. Mrs. Clevc-

she always accompanied her husband to
the Indian village, near which is to be
found such fine sport. Mrs. Cleveland's
mother is at Gray Gables now. There
will be fewer guests the remainder of the

That is because they are women, and

Took q Drink at The Altar.

LONDON, [Cablegram. At Bishop
Stortford's in Hcrtfo,dshire. Charles
Clark was tined $5 and costs for misbchav-
ior in Birchangcr church.
The charge against the defendant was
dcci ;cdly curious, us it appeared from
the evidence while playing the important
part of bridegroom, and DUNG the
per ormancc Of the marriage ceremony
before the altar, h" pulled cut from an
inside pocket flask OF whiskcy from
which he proceeded to drink, notwith-
standing the cxpostulations of the clergy
man.
The id'groom having been stimula-
d enough TO go through the ord Al, and
the Clergyman having ent"rci his protest,
the ccrc nony was completed, and the
cwly IN de husband was handed over,
not the tender mercics of the woman
who had ju sworn to cherish him, but
to the charge of an officer of the law.
Mr. Clark, no doubt, found that
he has INDUCED in the dearest drink of
whisky he has ever had in, his life.

According to the Chicago Meus,

According to the Chicago News, a
Pennsylvania murderer has beea dis
charged because the court found it i'm
possible to hear testimony against him.
The only witness to his crime was his
wife, aad her statements were barred on
the ground that she and her husband
were one.. This one-when giving testi-
mony in her person-would be obliged
either to testify for himself, which no one
ought to do, or to incriminate him
self, which is frightfully unorthodox.
SO the case was dismissed, and there is
one more man who has awakened to the
utility OF the marriage institution.

A Prize Fight in San Francisco.

An overland special from San Francis
co, says: George Dixon, of Boston, and
Abe Willis, of Australia, fought at the
gymnasium of the California Athletic
Club for $1,000 and the bantam weight
championship of the world. Willis was
practically unknown to many here, and
the betting before the fight was in Dix
on's favor, running from 100 to 20 to 100
to 90. Dixon won on the fifth round
The battle occupied less than twenty
minutes. Willis was knocked out in the
fifth round after having had the worst OF
hard fight from the start DiXon's style
of fighting was not known very well
here and he was not expected to do much
rushing, but he forced the fight from the
first round Herushed Willis hard when

manfully, but was not able to hit as hard
or as frequently as his opponent. His
quIckness and his ability to stand hard
punishment saved him from defeat earlier,
but after being knock, Il down in the
first round and numerically pounded in
the four following rounds he was greatly
weakened, and the blow which finally
seat him out was light one compared
to dozen others which he had received.
Dixon was apparently uniniured, and
as soon as he saw that Willis could not
rise in the fifth round the colored man
gave leap almost across the ring, while
the spectators chccred him wildly.
