SUNDAY SERMONS.
If Christ loves US we may boldly apply to Him for help in distress and sorrow.

If Christ loves US we may boldly apply to Him for help in distress and sorrow.
 A man is a food who will pride himself in his body, which tonlorrow may be in a s-afe of decay and become loathsc me in the extreme.
 A careless clergyman is the worst en- emy of Christ. and nothing more hurries men in the vile practices than their worldly views.
 Blind fana tics are tlns worst persecu- tors of Gods church. and they often re- proach and murder her best friends.
 Spiritual things cannot be conceived of by a carral mind; that is why so many go blindly to destruction.
 There never was a. person who accepted Gods conditions thag was not saved; if they say they did they w=re deceived, probably like the old woman who prayed one night for God to move a hill in front of her house, and when she arose nexC morning and saw the hill sttiu there. @x- claimed: T knew He wouldn't do it."
 There is no use to think that we can preach Christ faithfully and successfully without persecution and opposition, for there is not single man, wornan or child in Birmingham today who is not in Christ J=sus that would not dethrone God if 1T lay in their power to do so. If

It was the linen cuff and the quick
thought of woman who wore it that
gave us one of the prettiest of the tune
full Strauss waltZes, says the London
Mail. Johann Strauss and his wife
were one day enjoying a stroll in the
park at Schonau. when suddenly the
composer exclaimed. MY dear, l have
a waltz in my head; quick, give me q
scrap of paper or an envelope. l must
write 1t down before l forget It," Alas!
After much %rummaging of pockets 1t
vas found that they had not a letter
about them-not even a bridesmaids
bill.
Strauss music is considered light, but
1t weighed as heavy as lead OH his brain
until he could transfer it to pnper. His
despair was pathetic. AT last q happy
thought struck Frau Strauss. She held
out a snowy cuf.
The composer clutched 1t eagerly, and
in two minutes the cuff was manu-
script. Its mate followed; still Tie In
spiration was incomplete. Strauss was
frantic. and was about to make a wild
dash for home with the third part OF
the waltz ringing uncertainty in his
hcad-his own linen was limp. co'cred
calico-wlien suddenly his frau be
thought herself of her collar. and in an
instant the remaining bar of The Blue
Danube" decorated its surface.

CHAPTER VIII.

Lawrence. who Wore an impassive and
rather weary look upon his handsome
face. was talking to the lady with whom
he had danced the last quadrillc. AS
Mrs. Dumarcsl's party entered. he sud
denly lifted his head. gave his long mus
tachc a sharp pull, and asked his partner
the name of the new arrivals. She fiji.
vorcd him with n short history of the
Dumarcsl family i'll reply. and told him
that the young lady with them was Il
Miss Cartcrct. Mrs. Dumaresq's cousin.
who had just come out from England.
He had been persuaded to stay for Il
few days in Alexandria by Mr.. Calcott. a
young Englishnan whose acquaintance
he had made i'll Norway two years ago.
A chance meeting with Mr.. Heron had led
to his being included in the invitation to
Mrs. Hcron's evening party. Mr.. Calcott
was so we'll known and so highly connect
ed that Il friend of his-cspccially one so
irrrprnnchablc in manners and appear
ancc as Mr.. Damcr Lawrencc-was re-
ccivel ut once into society with open
arms. Mr.. Calcott was responsible for
him. AS it happened, Mr.. Calcott's friend

hin was that lie was Il capital sportsman
and IL good fellow" with plenty of cour-
age and plenty of money.
Mr.. Heron observed the direction of
I.awrrnce's eyes. and thdlght he would
introduce him to Mrs. Dumarcsq and her
niece. But before he could offer to do so,
at the conclusion of the duet. Mr.. Law
RENEE had quietly made his way to Miss
cnrtcret's side. and was greeting her like
an old acquaintance. He asked her to
dance. She refused: she had not been
danring all the evening. Mrs. Dumarcsq
was led off smiling by IL partner-shc
would dance all night if she had the OPP
portunity-and Lawrence took her place,
Il low Armchair. at .Anne's side.
"And how do you like Egypt" he in
quircd. 1t was II tame beginning, but
what else could he say!
''When,do you start for Cairo:" was her
question.
He looked at her keenly as he answered.
She puzzled him. He could not tell wheth-
er she wished him to go or stay. whether
she had been glad to see him or not.
II am waiting here for letters. l may
bc detained several days. Are You not
going TO Cairo. toO:"
II hope to see it before l leave Egypt.

"Nevcr make engagements beforehand"
said Michele Il little sharply. Wait till
the evening. md then We'll scc."
MIR. Dumaresq came out by the next
train. grave and reserved as usual. but
very kind and considcrate. His first qucs-
tion was how Anne liked Egypt so far.
Very much, Anne replied. SO far; but
she did not think she hadsbecn there long
enough to make up her mind.
Callers took up The rest of the afternoon,
and throughout the whole time Michclle's
tongue never seemed to rest. Dinner was
served earlier than usual in order that
the ladies' might dress for the dance after,
and not before. their evening meal; and
Michele begged to bc excused even before
dessert was on the table. Her eyes We're
on fire, her checks glowed with excite
ment.
At Il quarter to nine the whole party
was ready. Anne was dressed in white
She had yielded so far to Mrs. Dumar-
esq's represcntations-and wore white
flowers in her hair. Michele came down
last of all, radiant in IL dainty pink dress
and ornaments of tiligree silver. A light
shawl or handkerchief thrown over the
head was all that was needed by way of
protection against the cool night breeze.

the station. with their respective donkey
b~oys-awaitcd them at the door. There
was no other way of going to Il house at
amy distance in Ramlch. There were no
carriages to be hired. and one could not
walk comfortably through the deep. soft
sand i'll evening dress. Anne was amused
and Il little startled mt seeing what was
expected from hcr in what may he called
craftsmanship only by courtesy; but she
found her stced's PAGES very easy. and
was forced to admit, from her afternoons
experience of the desert sand, that riding
was more comfortable thar walking.
They dismountcd at the door of a house
from which came sounds of music and
moving feet. In five minutes they had
removed their cloaks. drunk their cups of
tea or coffee, and been conducted into the
dancing room. where. in IL lull between
two square dances, they found their host
II hostess.
But as Anne came forward she caught
sight of another figure, the appearance of
which dimmcd her eyes and took AWAY her
breath with surprise.
Then she recovered herself. Why should
she be astonishcd? After all, there was
nothing in itself very remarkable in the
presence of the man who had asked her to
remember him. and whose name. as he
had told her himself. was Damer Law
renee.

Anecdote Of Lowell.

The art and fine spirit of James Kus-
sell Lowell are still quite frequently
spoken of in the literary circles Of Lon
don. and anecdotes of him are told with
keen enjoyment. On II occasion at q
large banquet the pe~culiarities of
American speech were discussed with
English bluntness. Lord s. called to
Mr.. Lowell loudly. so as to silence all
other speakers:
'sThere is m new expression invent
ed by your countrymen so foolish and
vulgar as to be objectionable. They
talk of the ashes of the dead We
don't burn corpscs. No E"nglishman.
would use n phrase so absurd"
"And yet" said Mr.. Lowell. gently.
your poet Gray says. speaking of the
dead:
".E'cn in our ashes live their wonted
fires.
"And in the burial service of the
| church of England it is said: Dust to
dust. and ashes to ashes We sin in
good company" A cordial burst of
applause greeted this prompt rejoinder.

equally apt rejoinder last winter in

The Prince laughed heartily. and de-
