is entitled to the first kiss. IT Is the
hand and the cheek of him without
whom you would never have got there
at all, the Lord Jesus, the darling of the
skies, as he cries out, 81 have loved
thee with an everlasting love, and the
fires could not burn it, and the floods
could not drown it," Then you. my
dear people, having no more use for
my poor harp, on which used to open
your dark sayings, and whose chords
sometimes snapped, despoiling the
symphony, you will take down your
own harps from the willows that grow
by the eternal celestial water courses,
and play together those celestial airs,
some of the names of which are enti-
tied "The King in His Beauty" "The
Land That Was Far Off," And as the
last dark curtain Of mystery is forever
lifted, it will be as though all the ora
torios that were ever heard had been
rolled into one, and Israel in Egypt"
and "Jephthah's Daughter" and Bee

ter's first Sonata in D minor" and the
Creation" and the Messiah" had been
blown from the lips of one trumpet, or
been invoked by the sweep of one bow,
or had dropped from the vibrating
chords Of one harp.
But here l must slow up lest, in
trying to solve mysteries, l add to the
mystery that we have already won
dered at, namely, Why preachers
should keep on after all the hearers are
tired. So l gather up into one great
armful all the why's and hows and
wherefores of your life and mine, which
we have not had time or the ability to
answer, and write on them the words,
Adjourned to Eternity" l rejoice
that we do not understand all things
now, for if we did, what would we
learn in heaven? If we knew it all
down here in the freshmen and sopho-
more class, what would be the use of
our going up to stand amid the juniors
and the seniors? If we could put down
one leg of the compass, and with the
OluCl oWCCp d SilSlC NiCoi oAOuhA Ola
the inscrutables, if we could lift our
little steelyards, and weigh the throne
of the Omnipotent, if we could with our
seven-day clock measure eternity, what
would be left for heavenly revelation?
So l move that We cheefully adjourn
what is now beyond our comprehen-
sion; and as, according to Rollin, the
historian, Alexander the Great, having
obtained the gold casket in which
Darius had kept his rare perfume, used
that aromatic casket thereafter to keep
his favorite copy of Homer in, and
called the book, therefore, the Edition
of the Casket," and at night put the
casket and his sword under his pillow;
so 1 put this day, into the perfumed
casket of your richest affections and
hopes this promise, worth more than
anything Homer ever wrote or sword
ever conquered: What l do thou
shalt know hereafter" and that l call
the Edition Celestial"

CHAPTER VII.

"Baynes," said Mr.. Hall one morn
.ng as he was starting out for the run,
II want you to go down to Sullivan's
this afternoon-you know-the public
house where the coach stopped when
you came up. The drays are up from
town, and we are so short of a num-
Der of things that l am sending some
pack-horses to meet them, so you can
load up with whatever you think we
most require. The bullocks are so
done up that hear they will not be
able to come any farther for the next
three days. Very provoking it is, to
be sure. suppose all the men will get
drunk there. However, 1t can't be
helped" -----.

Observation has disproved for me the
theory that only the women devoid of
emotion and feeling can retain a
youthful appearance in maturity.
personally know three women who
have passed through heart-tragedies
and cyclones of emotion, and who yet
wear the satin of youth upon their
cheeks, albeit their birthdays have
long ceased to be among the years fes-
rivals for them. They said, like an
other before them, my youth and my
happiness are gone, why should 1
throw my beauty after them?" And
they straightway began to battle with
time and grief. There was scientific
massage for the encroaching lines
about the mouth and eyes; there were
carefully prepared baths for the COM
plexion and varying food tonic" for
the wasted pores; there were outdoor
exercises unlimited, resting and sleep
producing. Strong, great emotions,
such as love and sorrow land they
walk ever hand in hand). may ravage
beauty for a season, but they intensity
it eventually if the exterior is well
cared for.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox in
Woman's Home Companion.

STORYETTES.

At Killarney every visitor hears
some laughable stories. Here is one:
"A number of boatmen who were quar-
reling about the division of tips" in
duged at the top of their voices in a
good deal of profane language, which
the marvellous echo repeated verbatim.
"Arrah, look at that, now, for scan
| dal," said one Of the party, who was
of a pious turn. TEACHING the poor
harmless echo to curse and sware."
The construction of Prince Bis
marck's sentences were frequently por-
tentous. On the occasion to which l
have been particularly referring, says
writer in the Century, my compan-
ion was as impatient as only an intel

tellectual treat before her and gave
minute instructions to her interpre

low voice Of the painstaking transla-
tor rendered with some adequacy the
thought of Bismarck. Then there were
short pauses, followed by rapid little
summaries of what had been said. AS
these grew more and more frequent,
the lady became irritated. Finally
there was an entire cessation on the
part Of the Interpreter and yet Bis
marck was going right on with ever
increasing vehemence. There we're
constant calls from the lady of What's

an increase of Impotence in the box

lence of the speaker. Finally the
wretched interpreter could endure the
strain no longer and, turning with a
gesture of fierce resentment to his ex-
cited employer he Kissed: Madam,

STAMP COLLECTORS.

The clerk in Washington who amused his leisure hours by selling thousands of dollars worth of postage due" and ''peTiodical' stamps seems to have slipped through the meshes of tine law in some mysterious way.
 Another real-estate stamp deal has been consummated, this time in Philadelphia. One man had a lot Of ground. valued at s2,oo0, and tic other Ii:an had q let of stamps, valued at the same figure. It was an even exchange. and each man appears to. be satisfied with his end of it.
 During the first 55 years since the in troduction of postage stamps in 1S4O. Great Britain has issued for the use of the United Kingdom but 104 different stamps, while not less than 2GO varieties were issued for the postal requirements of six almost entirely uncivilized ter ritories of inner Africa within the last Il years-that is, since 1885.
 One of the New York stamp firms has on exhibition the figure of man whose costume, from head to foot, is complete ly covered with postage stamps The coat is composed of the one-cent blue of the present issue; the trowsers of the two-cent red, and his necktie of the two-cent Columbians, while the other articles of apparel have been adorned with various colored stamps of foreign countries.

 Not the least among our varied at fractions are the mountains that en- viron the valley like a corCon of giant sentinels. Thought grim and bare and hence not so attractive as the forest-clothed and grass-carpeted hills of other regions, still they are things of beauty whose loveliness increases the longer we dwell in their shadow. The play of light and shade on their gaunt Hanks and the transfguring color effects, varying from warm gray tones at midday to steel blue and rich violet at sunset would enthrall and inspire even Ruskin-

CREDIT OF ARIZONA

ment looking to the repudiation of the indebtedness created under and by virtue of such acts; and
 Whereas, We believe tha- such F. pudiatfon would, under the circum- stances, work great wrong and hard ship to the holders of such bonds, and at the same time most seriously af- feet the credit and standing of our peo- pie for honesty and fair dealing and bring us into disrepute;
 Therefore we most strongly urge upon your most honorable bodies the propriety and justice of passing such curative and remedial legislation as will protect the holders of all bonds issued under the authority of acts of the legislative assembly, the validity of which has heretofore been ac- knowledged, and that you so further legislate as to protect all innocent par ties having entered into contracts re- sulting from inducements offered by our territorial legislation, and relieve the people of the territory from the disastrous effects that must necessarily follow any repudiation of good faith on the part of the territory; and that you may so further legislate as to vali- date all acts of the legislative assembly of the territory which have held out inducements for the investment of capital within the territory, and which have fed to the investment of large sums of money in enterprises directly contributing to the development and growth of the territory and thus re- l1eve the honest people of the territory from the disastrous effects that must necessarily follow any violation of good faith on the part of our people.
 Resolved, That our delegate to congress be, and he is hereby instruct

ed. to use all honorable means to bring this subject to the earnest considera ton of congress; that the secretary of the territory be, and he is hereby re- quested to transmit copy of the foregoing memorial to each house of congress, and to our delegate in con- gress.
 From these views it must follow that the temporary injunction will be dissolved and permanent injunction against the loan commissioners is- suing bonds to the holders of Yavapai county bonds issued to the Prescott & Arizona Central Railroad company is denied. WEBSTER STREET,

 The notes on farm topics now ap- bearing in The Republican are new and valuable feature. This could be made a strong department if farm CTS. fruit and stock raissrS would con tribute suggestions and notes drawn from actual experience. The trouble with most rural notes is that they savor too much of the sanclum and not enough of the clod. Agricultural notes to be of practical value must, Antaeus-like, keep in close touch with mother earth.

After the ceremonies lunch was served in the hall and high jinks reigned until the sandwiches disappeared. The only thing that marred the feast was MintZ's unjust and ungrounded sus- picion that the bread was sour Four teen members of Phoenix lodge drove up in Charles Stevens's excursion hack and voted their Glendale brothers royal entertainers.
 The quickest way to silence a kick CT is to quote him facts that speak for themselves. So glue your optics to the following items, MT. Croaker: i During the past year C. R. Hunter, who has one of the best improved places in the valley, made over $1,0O0 clear on forty acres. Isaac Eyer made $500 on twenty acres and John For ney nearly as much CD the same acre age. These are only few cases in point taken at random from large number. We shall have more to say on the same subject later.
