Former Senator George F. Edmunds,

man Of pre-eminent reputation among
American statesmen. He is able, as
tuSe. quick in apprehension, strong in
conviction and one of the most success

Mr.. Edmunds began the practice o
law In 1S49, when a young man of 81.
Five years later he entered political
life by becoming a Representative in
the Vermont Legislature, where he re-
mained until 1860. In 1861, while he
was president of the State Senate, he
was appointed by the Governor to ill
vacancy in the United States Senate.
With this began an unbroken service Of
thirty years as a Senator. After his
election to fill the unexpired term, he
was four times reelected, and when
his official life came to an end in 1891 u
was through his voluntary resignation.
Mr.. Edmunds never gave up entirely

he has confined 1t to the Supreme Court

A Queer Club in Paris.

The painters, sculptors and poets of

Paris. are in the habit of hitting upon
novel ideas A number of the members
of this free-and-easy community have
devised q mode of solving the problem
OF existence which could only have oc-
CURED to the eccentric inhabitants of
the butte sacree," as Sails of Chat
Noir fame was wont to term the
heights Of MOntInartre. These inge-
NOUS, but out-at-the-elbows gentlemen
have founded a society which is pom
pously styled the Royal Bohemian AS
sociation. To belong to 1t you must be
able to prove absolute impecuniosity
and to furnish evidence that for at least
five years you have "eaten mad cow"
or, in plain English, been chronically
in want of dinner. You must owe
rent to not less than two landlords,
have plausible pretensions to literary
or artistic culture, and have establish
ed your reputation as boon compan-
ion. You must be a sworn hater of the
Philistine and must prize woman, wine,
tobacco, work O. absinthe, and clean
linen, above all else in the world. The
association has been formed to receive
donations, to be distributed among it's
members, from persons anxious to
count as patrons of art and letters.
Once a year the associates will hold an
exhibition, and distribute the exhibits
among their benefactOrS by lot. The
founders of the society are quite in
earnest, but it may be doubted whether
their association will be taken serious
ly beyond the limits ON Montmartre.-

Woman was an Independent creation, and
was intended, If she choose, to live alone,
to work alone, act alone, think alone, but
never fight her battles alone. The Bible

who are harnessed for life in the marriage
relation would be a thousand-fold better

BILE in this way OF kindness, whe WORKS
with magic power to transmute iHns
triiies into priceless treasures-as
cup Of cold WAR given to du. Sa:d
weary pilgrim prs5ved to be, as he drShK 1t,
n cup of precious wine. Kind words often,
as Dante says of Beatrice's words more
smiled than spokeD,' Kind actions, cost
ing little, but bestowing muchl How easily
they might be multiplied to the immeasur-
able cheer and comfort and enrichment of
lifel They make the gloomy smile, tie
angry grow meek, the suffering to cease
from groaning; they light up hope, sweeten
bitter thoughts, console sorrow, strengthen
the faint and turn from sin; and they reach
and move those whom no other good inhu-
ences affect and conquer such as have re-
sisted all other powers of grace.
Bitter and all too frequent are our re-
gretS and repentances, as we recall, per-
haps too late for aught but regret and re-
pentance, the unkind things said or done
by us, or the kind things We might and
should have said and done, but left unsaid
and undone. In our cups of recollection
overfiowiny with divine tender mercies
and loving kindnesses there is no bitterer
ingredient than this. But seldom, if ever,
90 we recall any error of ours on the part
OF Kindness or find any occasion for regret
ting merciluI allowances. favorable inter-
lretations or whatever spirit of kindness
may have prompted. We have never stood
by coffin or a grave and repented of any
utmost or even unrequited kindness shown
to the person at rest there.
The Gospel of Christ is precious because
It is gospel of the "exceeding great kind
ness of God toward us'' in Christ, and be-
cause it is all the while aiming to touch
and waken the chords of human sympathy
in our hearts; and in bringing US under the
law and into the spirit Of brotherly kind
ness, to make US know and rejoice together
in the loving kindness of our God, OF this
gospel We can all be ministers, and the
best and most useful portion of our lives
will be our 'little, ,nameless, unremembered
acts of kindness and of love" q

swift to love, make haste to be kindi'
