Love and Respect.

A woman can love deeply, truly and
tenderly where she has not one atom Of
respect. Her affection in such instances
Is guided BY her heart rather than BY
her reas n. yet the argument arises from
such statement, Is not the heart the
only factsr to be taken into oonsidera-
ton in all love sffAirs?0
All, no; that ides has long since been
exploded All the world for love, snd
the world well lost, is very charming in
theory, bat sadly deficient when one
seiIes upon sctnality and endeevors 10
live up 10 such pretty principle The
true union Of souls is founded primarily
on respect The man who sees IN wO-
man qualities Of mind and character that
compel his admiration and win the sp-
probation Of that inner self that s con-
tin1ally soaring toward purer and better
things zill find, if his love becomes like
wise involved, that he has founded bis
affections on a rock that is never shat
tered, even when personal beauty and
the charms Of early youth are vanished
forever.
With a woman, she may love ibrok-
en- reed as fondly IS she could a man
whose fellow beings ree&ri as their So
perior. There IS 50 much Of the mater
nal in every woman's heartsong that she
may poar out the treasure Of her sffsc-
tons at the feet Of one utterly unworthy,
yet there will never be for her even
though that affection Dc returned with
equal ardor, the joy and pride that
glows in the heart Of the wife or sweet
heart OF one who IS universally respect
ed. A woman sdores looking up to her
life companion rather than 10 Be even
on a level with hin.
Tie love that has in it sense Of pro-
lection Is not the grand inspiration or
the Eellspring OF happiness that comes
with the regard that gees hand in hand
with a sort OF awe that one - noble, 50
good and 50 true should have chosen her
from all other women, to be his wife.
The man fond vf his wife, the wife who

tual affection, viii be the couple whose

cleveland's Popularity.

Inc world loves an honest. STRAIGHT
forward, consistent man. and sncb mon
are so rare in the political circles Of This
day and generation that Grover Cleve-
lands sturdy honesty has made him CON
spicuous. He is perhaps the most uni
versally admired public man in America
and his nomination by the Democrats at
the Ma sl"nal Convention at Chicago is a
foregone conclusion.
And yet there are those who ignorant
~ talk of the decline of Cleveland's
popularity from 1884 to 1885,
These pessimists would do well to take
a glance at the election returns. In New
York Cleveland received 72,811 more
votes in 1888 than in 1884; in New Jer-
sey, 23,71O more; in Indiana, 16.O23
more; and in Connecticut, 1921 more.
New York gave him 100000 more votes
in 1888 than in 1882, when he was elect
ed Governor of that State by plurality
of 1890 Although defeated bv the
electoral college system, his total vote
in 1888 was $3.50, 242-an increase of
662, 256 over his vote of 1884, and pop
ular plurality of 1894 over Harrison.
In 1884 his plurality over Blaine was 23,-
O05 votes So far from declining, Cleve-
lands popularity has increased with ac-
celebrating pace; and there is no more
striking proof of the fact than in the en-
thusiasm with which most of the States
have elected delegates to nominate him
at Chicago, in spite of the Intrigues of
rivals and politicians.

Americas Earliest Discovorer.

Among pre-Columbian discoveries OF
America the claims Of the Norsemen, or.
properly speaking, the Icelanders-who.
by their low stature and features, are
somewhat different from the character
istic Swedes and Norwegians-an of
the Welshmen under Prince Madoc are
fairly well known, but those in favor of
an lrishman, st. Brendan, bishop Of
Clontert, In Kerry, are not so familiar
to US, although they are to the French.
According to eleven different Latin
manuscripts IN the National library,
Paris, one of which dates from the
Eleventh century, St Brendan left Ira
lee bay about A. D. 300 on a mission to
the undiscovered country which he be-
heved to exist beyond the Atlantic The
vessel he embarked in with his compan-
ions and provisions, including FIVE pigs.
was caught in a current, and after a
voyage of many weeks he landed in a
strange country, where he taught the
natives the truths of Christianity.
After seven years he. returned to Ire
land, and subsequently tried a second
voyage to the same country. as he had
promised to revisit it, but was baf1lad by
the wind and tide He died in the odor
Of sanctity in 518, aged ninety-four years.
The curious thing is that when Cortez
invaded Mexico he found the natives in
possession of some Of the doctrines of
Christianity, which they said had been
taught them by a stranger clad in a long
robe, who came to them from the Holy
island beyond the sea in ''boat with
wings" many centuries before ana prom
ised to return to them. The advent Of
Cortez was in fact hailed as a fulfill
ment of this tradition. -Lippincotts.
