TENNYSON'S DEVOTED WIFE.
Always the Poets Inspiration and His
Trusted Critic,

In 1890, on path in a wood at Som
ersby, Iennyson came unexpectedly
upon slender, beautiful girl of II
and impulsively said to her: "Are you
a dryad Or an Dread wandering here ?"
Six years later he met Emily Sellwood
again, on the,occasion of the marriage
of his brother Charles to her younger
sister, says the Atlantic Monthly. The
friendship ripened into love and in sum-
ner their marriage took place.
OF his wife Tennyson said many years
later: "The peace of God came into nv
life before, the altar. when I welded
her." Of this marriage the son writes:
1T was she who became my fathers
adviser in literary matters. I am proud
of her intelligence he wrote. With her
he always discussed what he was work
ing at; she transcribed his poem; to
her, and to no one else, he referred for
a final criticism before publishing.
"She, with her tender, spiritual ma
ture' and instructive nobility of thought,
was always by his side, ready, cheer
full, courageous, wise and sympathetic
counselor. 1t was she who shielded his
sensitive spirit from the annoyances
and trials of life, answering, for ex-
ample, the innumerable letters ad-
dressed to him from all parts of the
world" e.. %

TO Be the Control Hing Force ID the
Affairs Of the World
English Tongue to Be Dominant-
Ultimate Capital Of World New
York or ChIcago-Prophecy
Of Or. Barroyys.

Rev, DR.. j ohm Henry Barrows, the
course Of his baccalaure ate SERMON at
AMHERST college at Amherst, Mass,
said: America stands in the highway
of the nations, between the east and
the west. It was partly in order to
secure the trade Of China and the
orient that transcontinental railways
have linked the Pacific to the Atlantic
coast. There are more people in
America who can read shakespe
and Milton than in all other lands to-
gether, and before two centuries have
passed the English tongue will be the
vehicle of commerce, literature and
civilization for the majority of the hui
man race. The ultimate capital or
chief city of the English empire Of the
future will not be on the banks ofthe
Thames, but either atthe mouth Of the
Hudson or on the outhwestern shores
of Lake Michigan. America is the
chief part and England and Russia
recognize it, of what is likely to be the
controlling race of the future. The
vastness of the Asiatic world which
lies to the west of us we do not yet ap-
preciate, but I am convinced that the
connection of the greatest of repub-
lies with the most populous of empires
is to be factor OF immense moment.
Zone does not feel that America
grows less important as, after 80 days
OF voyaging in nidocean or, skirting
the shores of great continents, he
comes to realize the earth's bigness
and the multitude of interests which.
lie outside of our national domain.
And my observations of recent years
have convinced me that American
Christianity is more nearly in accord
with what is rational, humane, scien-
tific and morally helpful than are
some of the chief forms which have
had wide rule elsewhere. ..ss ~
1T rests upon us, brethren and
friends, to assist in showing American
people what larger responsibility God
IS forcing upon US in preparing the
American mind for that ampler sphere
Of national influence upon which we
are already entering, America is no
longer a babe in the woods, but the
foremost of western nationaities, and
the sight to-day of our people, for the
first time thoroughly united, contem-
plating expectantly the greater des-
TIMES to which God is calling us, is
hopeful and inspiring spectacle"

Mandarindom literally goeth about

fees are held at fixed prices by metro
politan and provincial authorities;
taxes are collected in full, but are deci-
mated before they reach the imperial
treasury; t.the big fish eat the little
Ash, and the little Ash eat mud" By
which simile the Chinese proverb ex-.
presses aptly the fact that the great
officials feed upon the smaller ones, and
that they in turn feed upon the people.
No official position in the empire can be
obtained without the use Of money, nor
retained without illegal practices. If,
then, nothing can be hoped for from the
rulers of China, what can be said about
the student class which.is placed at the
head of the four divisions of the people?
This class is. conceited beyond endur-s
snnce; they still speak of THE ground,

upon the "fve elements" Foreigners
are still to them barbarians who came
to China to learn the laws of propriety;
the five great continents represent only.
divisions of ancient feudal states trib-
utary to their country, and commerce
is despised as only being taken up by
those who have not the mental power to
master books. They wear large Cog
giles, cultivate their finger nails into

ing gait with which Confucius is said to
have walked, and have silentcontempt
for all but, themselves. They regard
