request for a second furlough, but hint
ed that if his object was to replace his
recent partner. he might deputize some
friend to select an eligible lady. This
he accordingly did. When the steam
er was signalled, the bridegroom-elect
went down to meet lit, accompanied by
Mr.. Brown, one of his deacons. After
they got aboard the captain pointed out
the lady, q buxom blonde at the other
end Of the deck. Brown says that the
preacher gazed at her despairingly,
and then pulling his hat over his eyes,
groaned: Red hair-for the third
time-and after so much prayer"
Men die, but sorrow never dies;
The cr0wding years divide In vain,
And the wide world is knit with ties
OF common brotherhood in pain.

Obedience the Highest Nobleness.-l
You hear every day foolish people
speaking about liberty as if it we're
such an honorable thing: so far from
that, it is, on the whole, and in the
broadcast sense, dishonorable. and an at
tribute Of the lower creatures. No hu-
man being, however great or powerful,
was ever so free as a fish. There is al
ways something that he must, or must
not do; while the fish may do whatey-
er he likes. All the kingdoms of the
world put together are not half 80 large
as the sea, and all the railroads and
wheels that ever we're or will be INVENT
ed are not 80 easy as fms.
You will find, on fairly thinking Of
it, that it is Restraint which is honora-
bic to man, not his liberty; and, what
is more, it is restraint which is honor
Bile even in the lower animals. A but
terny is much more free than q bee
but you honor the bee more, just be-
cause it is subject to certain laws which
ft il for orderly functions in bee socie-
ty. And throughout the world, Of the
two abstract things, liberty and re-
straint, restraint Is always the more
honorable.
1t is true, indeed, that in these and
other matters you never can reason fl
nally from the abstraction, for both
liberty and restraint are good when
they are nobly chosen, and both are
bad when they are basely chosen; but
Of the two, repeat, il is restraint
which characterizes the higher crea-
ture, and betters the lower creature
and from the ministering of the arch
angel 10 the labour of the insect, from
the posing Of the planets 10 the grav-
itation Of o grain of st,-the power
and glory Of all creatures and all mat
