vienna's bachelor club.

Our Vienna correspondent is able to
contradict misleading report, says
the London Telegraph. 1t has been
said that a club OF men of position has
been formed in that city for the assist
ance of young women of humble sta
ton who may aspire to marriage with
them. A new club has indeed come
into being. but 1t is of quite another
sort. 1t is a club Of professe,l bachel-
ors--a celebrate order of dandies. 1t
derives it's origin no doubt from we'll
known London institution which bears
the same name. But our Bachelors
Club binds its members by no self-de-
nying ordinance in regard to the future,
and we believe it demands not more
than that candidates shall have been
single at one time in their lives. That
might be tolerated as a passing condi-
ton. but it is n very different thing to
shut the door to repentance forever.
The Viennese women are Justly in
censed, and some threaten to retaliate
by forming another society pledged to
stern refusal of all offers from the
Bachelors Club. This implies the be-
lief that the bachelors cannot possibly
keep their vows and it proves to be in
singular harmony with experience.
They have broken them by anticipa-
ton. An indignant woman has openly
charged the President with frequent
promises of marriage to herself and has
demanded his deposition. In all proba-
bility the institution will have to
change its title and become the Sour
Grapes.

First Lady of France.

Nine. Carnot, wife of the President
of the French republic, is brunette,
with dark blue eyes, a pale complexion,
delicately nodded features, and hair as
black as glossy as black satin. Her
expression is at once intellectual and
charming, says a writer in the Ladies'
Home journal. Outside her Official
duties, which are many, Nine. Carnot
leads "a very quiet and domestic life.
The ordering and experimenting of
her toilets absorbs a good deal of her
time and is really one of her official
duties, the dress of the wife of the
ruler of state exercising a widespread
influence over the commercial inter-
csts of France. Then She is interested
in number of charities and drops in
from time to time to see how her pro-
tteges are progressing.

united by bridge after bridge with
what will then be the district of New

The murmur OF waterfall
A mile away.
The rustic when robin lights
Upon the spray;
The tapping Of a Rowland stream
On dipping boughs,
The sound Of grazing from herd

The echo from wooded hill
or cuckoo's call,
The CULVER through the meadow grass
At evening fall:
Too subtle are these harmonies
For pen and rule.
Such music IL not understood
BY any school:
But when the brain is overweight
IL hath spell
Beyond all human skill and power
To make IL well.
The memory OF a kindly word
For long gone by.
The fragrance OF fading flower
Sent lovingly,
The cleaning Of a sudden smile
Or sudden tear.
The warmer pressure Of the hand,
The tone of cheer:
The hush that means II cannot speak
But have heard"
The note that only hears verse
From Gods own word.
Such tiny things we hardly count
As ministry,
But when the heart is overweight
Oh, who can tell
The power of such tiny things
TO make it well. FIR. HAvEReA
