G,adstone,s place in History.

Gladstone's place in English history
will be high, and it will be quite apart
from any other. He will have no near
companionship in his fame. 1t will be,
we think, an eminence assigned to NOR
al qualities more than to intellectual
powers. The very sincerity that his en-
emies have denied to him will be count
ed, perhaps, the loftiest of his claims.
1t will be seen that few men of brilliant
gifts and great ambitions have sought
with his earnestness for the right in
what they did or stood with his courage
by what they found it to be. When he
braved the scorn and anger of the
church, which has always been more
TO him than to most of its priests, and
challenged by the same act his own
past in order to do justice to the peo-
pie of another creed, and when he made
righteous peace with the Beers in
the face of storm of English wrath, he
rose to greatness in character that
will be measured in future time with
clearer eyes than now.-Atlantic.

N0woMAN,s LAND.
A Place Where Wall Goes Up from
WifelesA Men for Partners of
Their joys and SOrrOws.

Wives are wanted in Rhodesia, says
the johannesburg (South Africa) Stand
ard.
Then-unutterable woe!-there is a
No-woman' Land as well as No-Man's-
Land Situate, too, in Afric's weird
wastes where there is desolation and
dreariness enough, land knows, without
the otherwhereness of womankind to
complete the awful isolation.
"Wives are wanted in Rhodesia." A
gurgling, vine-muff1ed fountain is want
ed i'll the oasisless desert; warmth is
wanted in the Arctic's frigid wilds;
draught of cool water is wanted by the
thirsting, sun-parched, sea-tortured
castaways; rain is wanted in blistering
Kansas; cool wave is wanted in the
torrid tropics; youth is wanted by age;
wealth and fame are wanted by youth;
perpetual motion is wanted by the de-
spairing inventor; the golden secret is
wanted by the alchemlst; love is want
ed by the lonely; Christian charity is
wanted by the erring; eternal life is
wanted by all who walk the earth.
There is lack of woman's nursing,
there is dearth of woman's tears in
Rhodesia. Shingle nails are substitute
ing for buttons in South Africa. No
mother sings at twilight's fall a song
of the hill far sweeter than all. Porous
plasters must serve instead of patches
in Rhodesia. The sound of children
playing in the streets Is sweet jargon
never heard in that wifeless realm, and
no faithful hand strives to make pump
kin pies the way his mother did. Be
lated men go uncatechised to their
cots in the early morn and the soft
sibilancy of a woman's speech and the
silken swish of woman's robe never
soothe the ear in Rhodesia. The graces
and gentilities of life are departed and
the flowers are dying out of the human
heart because womankind comes not to
that remote and forlorn region, new
hopes to raise, new joys impart and
pour rich balsam on the heart"
"Wives are wanted in Rhodesia." 1t
is voice crying out Of wilderness
of maScullnlty. FAR forms are needed
to bend low over cradles and lull little
rolly-pooly Rhodesians to forgetfulness
with Shadowland songs. Wives are
wanted to take commissions as high
priestesses of the homes, to conserve the
good and true, to bring sweetness and
light into the dark continent, to apply
soft, cool hands to aching brows, to fur
nish sympathy and counsel. to remem'
Der the birthdays and the proverbs, to
take flowers and tears to gravesides,
to do all, to be all, to suffer all, to fear
all, to sacrifice all, to hope all that
wife is expected to be and do and suffer
and fear and sacrifice and hope in Rho
desia-and elsewhere.

The K.iser's Brother.

Prince Henry of Prussia is in every
way the exact opposite of his brother,
the kaiser. quiet, modest, unassum-
ing young man, he makes friends every
where he goes. He is idolized by his
brother officers in the navy, and by the
men also, who do not forget that on two
occasions he dived from the quarter
deck to rescue drowning sailors. His
devotion to his mother in 1889 was
most marked, and in embracing and
blessing his sailor son on the occasion
of his marriage with Irene of Hesse,
Frederick the Noble pressed into his
hand slip of paper for he could not
speak,, on which was written: you
at least have never given me moments
sorrow, and will certainly make as true
a husband as you have been loving
son."-St Louis Globe-Democrat.

AS THE WINDS BLOW.
Time Awakened by q bundle
of Old Letters.

See madame, its bundle OF letters.
l found them a few evenings ago
while rummaging through pile of for
gotten manuscripts. They were tied
with lavender ribbon and still retained
the odor of the violets she used to
love.
AS my eyes rested on the dingy and
brown envelopes and the faded knot OF
ribbon, a thousand memories of the
old days surged through my mind
the old days when she and lwould wan-
der along the banks of the river in the
glad sunshine telling each other the
story of hearts that is told SO often
yet never grows old.
You know the tale, madame. Yes,
YOU have heard it, and with burning
cheeks and throbbing heart you lis
tened to it, just as others had before
YOU, and as others will after you and
| are gone.
1t is a sweet, old tale, madame, is it
not? | thought so when l heard 1t
from her lips, for she was the first to
tell it to me.
All, that dear May day by the river,
the flowers all about us, the birds sing
ing their songs of life and of love!
She plucked a daisy and tore away
the petals. repeating, as each fell to
the ground: He loves me, he loves me
not. he loves me-
That was the last madame.
1t was then that told her the story.
I told her how my love had lived and
burned unspoken for so long, so long
How | had loved her ever since the day
our eyes first met across the path. She
listened, and when l had finished the
look she gave me told the secret OF her
heart.
All, madame, the joy of that moment.
She placed her soft arms around my
neck and whispered: II love you"
was young then, and of the world,
with all its whims and vagaries, knew
but little.
Then by and by | went away.
You know, madame, how sometimes
faces are forgotten, how easy it is for
us to cease thinking Of those who are
away. 1t must have been like that
with her.
This bundle, tied with the lavender
ribbon and still exhaling the sweet
ness of the violets, contains the letters
she wrote me. They were warm with
her love at first. She thought and
dreamed of me alone. was happy for
awhile.
Then came the last.
1t told me she and I must part, that
we were unsuited, that henceforth
our paths must lie in opposite direc-
tions.
I Icrushed the cruel paper in my hands
and returned it to her, but it was too
late. She had married and seemed
happy.
See, here are the letters, madame. Do
you not smell the violets? A last tie,
you say? True, but l would destroy even
that.
There, they are among the GOALS See
how the flames twine about them and
lick the knot of ribbon. Is it not beau
tiful?
There is one that burns slowly. See,

Nothing but ashes.
