THE HOMELY GIRL.
Why She Gets Better Husband Than
Her Pretty Sister.
y


'How did that homely woman contrive
to get marriedr' is not infreauently re-
marked Of some good domestic creature
whom her husband regards as the apple of
his eye, and in whose plain face he sees
something better than beauty.
Pretty girls who are vain of their charms
are rather prone to make observations of
this kind, and consciousness of the fact
that flowers Of loneliness are often left to
ness go off readily, is, no doubt, in many
cases at the bottom of the sneering ques-
ton.
The truth is that most men prefer
homeliness and amiability to beauty and
caprice. Handsome women are some
times very hard to please. They are apt
to overvalue themselves, and, in waiting
for an immense bid, are occasionally left
on the market" The plain sisters, on
the contrary, aware of their personal de-
ficiencies, generally lay themselves out to
produce an agreeable impression, and in
most instances succeed. They don't as
pire to capture paragons with princely
fortunes, but are willing to take anything
respectable and Noteworthy that Provi-
dence may throw in their way.
The rock ahead of your naughty Junos
and coquettish lIebes is fastiidiousness.
They reject and reject until nobody cares
to WOO them. Men don't like TO be
snubbed or to be trified with--a lesson
that thousands of pretty women learn too
late. Mrs. Hannah Moore, very excel
lent and pious person, who knew whereof
she wrote, recommends every unmarried
sister to close with the offer of the first
good, sensible, Christian lover who falls in
her way.
But the ladies hose mirrors, aided by
the glamour of vanity assure them they
were born for conquest, pay no heed to
this sort of advice.
1t is a noteworthy fact that homely
girls generally get better husbands than
fall to the lot Of their fairer sisters. Men
who are caught merely by pretty face
and figure, do not, as rule, amount to
much. The practical, useful thoughtful
portion of mankind is wisely content with
inpretending excellence.

Landing of the Co!0Eistr.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va, May "A, g

w WILLIAMSBURG, VA, May Ia, ii.
Mr.. Editor " esterday the historic
island of jamestown was made merry by
5e voices of those who Assem- bled to cee
pr -. he day which should be dear to al
ttts country, but especially TO the hearts o.!
tie Eirginians, the day On which Our fore
fathe-s Ia. ded.
Batoie tho late war it was the custom %
ths Faculty of the College of William and
Mary to celebrate this day, and the present
faculty, wishing to retain all the good
features Of the college, and TO add as many
moro as possible, have again taken upon
themselves to celebrate this day
The exercises were pr,nc pally confined
to the Virginia History class, with Profess
sor Hail, professor of English and History,
as master of ceremonies.
The exercises were bald in the old bury
ing ground, amid the moss covered and
cracked tombstones.
The exercises were opened with music by
the Asylum Band, followed with prayer
by Rev. ]. H. Moss. Then Prof. Hall,
master of the occasion, gave a speech,
showing the object of the college in cele
brating this day. He drew comparison
between the interest manifested by our
Northern friends in celebrating the landing
NANTES ed by US, the Seutherners, in the
day on which our forefathers first landed
he spoke of the jealousy with which our
Northern friends take care of their places
of historic interest, and the negligence
which we NANTES also of the Importance
of there being something done to protect
our sacred places. He said that this was
as noble cause as the men and women OF
Virginia could engage in, ard predicted
that unless something were soon done the
historical island, with its crnmblipg church
tower, the island on which our forefathers
first landed and drove back, step by step,
the dusky redman from the rich soil which
was intended by God should be occupied
by superior race, would soon be washed
away and the waters would soo1 cover the
place where jamestown orce stood.
Let us give heed to his remarks, and
lend helping hand; for the place where
the chief houses once stood is now washed
away and the fisherman's boats ply to aE6
fro over it. Prof. Hall's speech was fol
lowed with music by the band. Then Mr.
| W L. Bibb held the attention of the audi
ence for about thirty minutes with ar
grafton; his Grafton was followed BY "My
J Country" sung by the students.

Rev. DR.. Briggs to be Tried for Heresy.

Rev. DR.. Briggs to be Tried for Heresy.
On Tuesday of last week, by vote of "A
to 80 the New York Presbytery decided to
try DR.. Briggs for heresy contained in his
inaugural address, and committee was
appointed 10 prefer charges against him.
DR.. Briggs is one of the ablest and most
learned ministers Of the Presbyterian
Church, and President of the Union
Theological Seminary of New York. The
New York Herald says this "action is
likely to prove of momentous consequence
to Presbyterianism in America. 1t is tne
beginning of contest which, if waged to
the end with the zeal and determination
that have characterized its opening, can
only result in either revision of the es-
tablished creed or splitting of the Church.
If DR.. Briggs be found guilty of heresy
he must either rcroanoe his heretical views
or leave the Church. Il is not likely that
he will change ais convictions, and hence
the, only alternative will be to Leave the
Church.
II he stood alone in this controversy tno
result would concern himself chiefly. But
he does not stand alone. He represents
party, and no small party, of Presbyterians'
If he cannot remain in the Church it is not
easy to see how those who believe with
him can remain.
If, on the other hand, the accused pro-
fessor is not declared a hereto the Church
must accept his views and accordingly re-
wise its creed as now understood by many,
if not q majority, Of its theoiogians and
members.
It is, therefore, no less problem that
confronts these Presbyterians than whether
there shall be in the future one Church with
q creed broad enough for all who are now
in conflict, Or two churches-the old and
new one."
