Oldest Couple in the United States Lives in

The oldest living couple in the United
States beyond doubt has the last forty
two years resided within three miles of
Black River Fall, Wisconsin. Louis and
Amelia Darwin were born in the Prov

The husband was born on Sept. "a. 1883,
or one year before the Inauguration of
| the first President of the United States.
The wife was born at La Pero's Isle on
March II, 1894, and is now past her 101st
year. The aged people are descendants
from race which for many generations
was noted for remarkable longevity.
Eighty years have passed since they
were joined in wedlock, and family of
twelve children was the fruit of their
marriage Five are still living in this
vicinity, ranging from 70 to 81 years.
The Oldest child, were he living today,

A CAVERN OF BOOKS.
A New York Cellar Where Are 200 600
Books and no Room for Customers.

(From the New York Tribune.)
There is, down in Beaver street, a book
store SO filed with books that there is
literally no room for customers 1t is
one of the oldest places of traffic in New
York city. The entrance is flight of
steps leading from the pavement to a
cellar about eighteen feet wide. This is
cut in two lengthwise, and half of the
precious space is given up to plummer's
establishment. The other half is the
store, and in it are said to be 200, 600
books
There is nothing on the street to show
the character of the place except a pile of
paper-covered novels and few plumber s
tools. If the day is fair the old book
seller sits outside and waits for his Gus
toners, Of whom he has not few. The
cellar below yawns dark and cavernous
toward the street, for there is not a ray
of light coming from either store
When some one from the hurryine
crowds turns aside and descends the
steps gas jet back in the plumbing
shop Is turned up high enough to send a
dusty ray of two out toward the visitor.
When it Is seen that the incomer doesn't
care to get any plumbing done down goes
the feeble flame again and up goes one in
the adjoining book stall The visitor
steps inside the wicket door and stops for
the sufficient reason that he cannot go
any farther. Around him everywhere
from floor to ceiling, books are piled with
no apparent regard for classification or
anything else except space. Away back,

THE MANeER IN BETHLEHEM.
Its Barrenness Concealed by the Rich Gifts
of the Devout for Ages.

No one thing in the Gospel story ap-
peals more to thesshearts of young and old
alike than that the Redeemer of Man was
born in place so lowly as manager, out
of which beasts were won't to take their
food. Every one who has heard or read
the immortal narrative Of that birth has
Uried to picture to himself the soene-that
rough stable, followed out of the rocks
where Christianity had it's origin.
The poverty and squalor of that scene
have been Of wondrous power in affecting
the hearts Of all of US. We have pondered
the rude features of that environment I'M
til it has gained romantic place in our
thoughts. Few of US have not hoped we
might sooner or later look on that his
torio spot SO fraught with portents for
mankind.
But the visitor to Bethlehem is doomed
to disappointment. There is no stable to
be seen. The uncorth chamber of which
the evangolists tell is no more. Whittier
has it vanished? 1t has been concealed
from view by o veneer of beauty--it has
been destroyed from sight by esteem for
it, The rocky walls of the cavern are con-
cealed behind panels of marble; the man
ger, which was the cradle of Christ, is
shown only by the same marble forms :,
innumerable lights 9issipate the original
gloom the Christians Church has delight
ed in binging hither its gifts of gold ;,
frrankfncense and myrrh, as did the wise
men who came under the leading of a
star. The church has done no more than
to follow in it's rich offerings the exam
Pile set forth in the Scriptures, but the
result is unfortunate. 1t thrills the heart
'of the deyout, doubtless, to stand on the
spot where the Infant Christ first opened
human eyes, but how infinitely more
would it thrill the heart could one but
see that soene in all its first nakedness-
the bare rocks, the naked floor, the
gloomy reoesses, the damp air, shaken by
many currents-the unadorned, the real
birth chamber of Jesus Christ?
