beautiful brow, a sweet, almost girlish face-not q line or wrinkle marring it's smOothness-the incarnation of wOmanly sweetness.
 One who is sensitive and observant, need never to have heard one word of Mir. McKinley's family life to understand the relation Mir. and Mrs. Mckinley occupy toward one another, and while the pleas ant morning conversation proceeds, we seem to feel through the atmosphere of the room every word of the spirit and ex- istence of the happy welded life perpetu- atcd, which Browning expressed and painted in his By the Preside"
 We are looking at and discussing pie lures of Mir. and Mrs. Mckinley, when one of the family, taking up one of Mir. Mckinley, which from the view of the face shows the deep thought line extend ing the length of the forehead, remarks: Mrs. Mckinley does not like thcse-she thinks that line looks like a scowl." We all smile and quite agree with her. that that picture does not .'do him justice,' and We think what picture could DOT tray him as he is, the charming person. ality. the kindly, genial manner, the clear, perfectly modulated voice. the bright blue eye, and clear complexion, and the fine smooth skin that wom- an might envy? While his pictures can not portray this. they do show with fidel- ity some qualities of the man whose splendid constitution has never been i'm paired by eXcesses. the erect form, the brown hair, that shows but few traces of silver; the broad. full forehead. deep set eye. clearly cut features and square, massive jaw, the features and bearing one might look for in the hero of the battle of Fishers Hill and Cedar Creek. where he was breveted major by Presi- dent Lincoln.
 
 flowers is recognized by his friends.
 Are not those roses lovely!" says Mrs. Mckinley. calling our attention to some vases of rare red roses. upon the mantel and brackets: but l love these." glancing at bouquet of sweet peas on the pretty table beside her. "rhe roses came in such beautiful wooden box. The name of the giyer is not here. Will Ham," addressing Mir. Mckinley. and, taking up q card and reading. ITO MT. and Mrs. Mckinley, from your devoted friend, - ''The magnolias were sent from the South" As Mir. Mckinley rises, our eyes follow him. and we catch a glimpse. through an open door. of a dainty couch in white and gold. and Mrs. Mrs. Mckinley says softly, William, there is n baby asleep in there."
 So gentle is the step on the thick car pets that it could not awaken the lightest sleeper. and holding the great snowy, waxen blossoms for our inspec- tion he says, the recollection, perhaps, suggested by the thought of the little sleeper in the adjoining room, "We commenced our first housekeeping in this house over twenty-five years ago. Here our little ones were born and passed away, the old homes endeared to us by many pleasant, hallOwed mem- Ories."
 The silken flag that adorned the chairman's desk at the Republican con corner of the piano. The gavel used by the chairman on that occasion, beautiful piece of carved workmanship, was shown us. "It is said to have been made from q piece of one of the logs from the log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln lived. It is n pleasant thought to q lover of relics and to the patriotic" says Mir. Mckinley.
 There were also some beautiful bad ges, used during different presidential campaigns. one q white satin badge used during President Tyler's campaign, bearing his motto, the design of which would have done credit to the finest of today, with all our modern accessories of art.
 Mir. Mckinley is, as it has been said, "the deliyerer of new gospel to women and children in making protec- ton and the tariff plain to them" and we may add, that is his blameless politi- cal. professional, religious, domestic cnd social life. he has also revealed new gospel to the young men of our country.
