A REPLY.

A young woman was recently asked
by a young man to become his wife.
He was a bright fellow and was &C.
capted in general society because Of
the wealth and official position Of his
father, but his ha0its were known to
be bad. There were no e~vasions in her
apswe
You tell me-" she said, "that I pcs
sess qualities that you must have in
the woman who is your wife. l can,
not say that I have them-but | can
speak OF habits that I do not have, and
that l could not accept in a husband
who did have them. I do not smoke.
I never swear. I do not indulge in
wine. I am not in debt. Not a mo-
ment of my nights is spent with ques
tionable associates, and my days are
not given to idleness or to walking the
streets with silly, unthinking girls.
Most women avoid the indulgences l
have mentioned, and do not welcome
them in men who ask to become their
husbands. AS you have them, or most
of them, I am not willing to become
your wife. I am sure nothing but
wretchednees could follow from such
a union"
The answer was sharp and decisive.

circumstances are not al frank and

SOME YOUNG MIN WHO HAVE
STARTLED THE WORLD.

Many of the grvatest careers have
been made by young men, says the
Baltimore Sun. Washington was but
forty. three when he was called to the
command of the American Revolution
airy Army. Henry Clay was speaker
of the House Of Representatives at
thirty.four. Stephen A. Douglas was
but thirty nine when he first became q
candidate for the Presidency. John
Jay was Chief Justice of the United
States at forty five.
James G.. Blame was only thirty nine
when he became speaker Of the House
of r representatives. Alexander H4mil.
ton took charge Of the treasury at
thirty-two years of age. Martin Van
Buren,, at thirty six, organized the
famous Albany Regency, and was
| G. vernon of New York at forty.
John @. Calhoun, in his forty second
year, was Vice President of the United
States. John y. Breckenridge, OF Ken
lucky, was Wee President at thirty
two, and a candidate for the Presi-
dency at thirty five. George B Nc.
ClelIan was only thirty-eight when
nominated for the Presidency.
In military life especially young men
have been most conspicuous. General
Grant was but forty years of age when
he began winning a name for himself
in our Civil War, and was only forty.
three when the wal closed.
Napoleon was master Of France and
Europe before his thirtieth birthday.
Alexander the Great had conquered
the world and left it before he vas
thirty three years old. Fremont, the
Pathfinder, had exploded the Rocky
Mountains before he was thirty, and
was a candidate for the Presidency at
forty three years Of age.
Columbus was in the thirties when
he explained his ideas of the Western
Passage and enlisted the Spanish
sovereigns in the project that led to
the discovery Of America.
Ricnard Golden was but thirty four
wnen he founded the Anti Corn Law
| League, which revoluGionIzed the COM
mercIal policy Of Great Britain.
William Pitt, ranked by some his
torians as the greatest OF modern Brit.
iah premiers, was practically ruler o.
England at twenty tour.-EX.

THE SULTAN OF sULU.

By no mean the least important of
our new possessions is the Sulu Archi
pelago, a group lying south of the Phil
ippines, and comprising about $50
islands. Like the Philippines, many of
the islands are barren and uninhabited,
out the larger are fertile and under the
careful tillage of a most indus arious
people, who have the honor of being
the first Mohammedan subjects Of the
United States. Our illustration, taken
from the current issue of Harper's
Weekly, represents the present Sultan

QUEEN WILHELMINA OF HOL.
LAND.

Just now WilheImine is a much
talked of, much written about, young
parsonage. The Q leen Mother of the
Netherlands has announced her daugh'
ter's betrothaI to Prince Wilhelm of
WED, and the wedding is to take place
at the Hague in April.
b it sovereign or subject, this pc.
riod of a girls life Away excites more
or less romantic speculation and in
terest. In the case of Queen Viii
helmina every Dutchman will feel
himself to be in the not altogether en-
viabIe position of a father, who, no
matter where the choice falls, never
considers the man good enough fer
his only daughter. OF suitors there
has been no lack, and one of the few
prerogatives left to the Grown is that
the lody makes the proposal" which
many girls will naturally consider
quite a privilege.
Let us recur brie f7 to the day when
WIlhelmina attained her ms ority, and
according to Dutch law look up the
reins of government.
Wilhelmina Helena Paulina Maria is
the daughter of the late King William
III. and Princess Emma of WaIdeck
Pyrmont, whom the King married

unaffected, simple minded girl, with a

very accomplished and a good linguist,
conversing as fuently in three or four
modern languages as in her native
tongue. She has also made a study of
Malay, which is extensively spoken in
the Dutch East Indian possessions
At the time Of her fathers death,
To- vi eight years ago, the Queen
Mother was proclaimed Regent; and
the way she has governed the king
dom and brought up her daughter has
called forth universal esteem and ad-
miration. Toe Dutch nation owes her

THE RELATIVE INsIGNIFICANCE
OF MAN.

In his lecture Saturday at the Royal
Institute, Sir Robert Ball, lately As
tronomer- Royal in Ireland, stated that
we now know the existence of 80, OOO,.
600 of stars or suns, many of them
much more magnificent than the one
which gives light to our system. The
majority Of them r not visible to the
eye or ever recognizable by the tele
scope. but sensiUiz9 I'D Photographic
plates have revealed their existence
hey ond all doubt or question though
most of them are almost inconceivably
distant, thousands or tens of thousande
of times as far off as Our sun. A tele
graphic massage, for example, which
would reach the sun in eight minutes,
would not reach some of these stars in
1 800 years.
An average of only ten planets to
eacn sun indicates the existence within
the narrow range to which human OBJ
servation is still confined of at least
800 600 900 Of separate worlds, many
of them doubtless of gigantic sz3,

from Spain che annual sum of $2400,
his salary as ruler of possessions which
by hereditary right ere his own. The
ruler of Sulu is a devoted Mussulman,
and acknowledges the supreme au-
thority of the Turkish Sultan, and the
CT liens d fer but little from those of
the same faith in other parts Of the
world. In view Of the fact that the
young Sultan is the first American who
is a firm follower of the Prophet, it is
Of interest to hear q personal descrip
ton OF him from MIR Foreman, an
English traveller. Mr. Fireman says:
HIS excelIency was dressed in very
tight elk trousers, fastened partly
pu the sides with snowy chas-
ed gold or gilt buttons, a short
Eton.cut olive green jacket with
an infnity Of buttors, white socks,
ornamented slippers, red sash around
his waist, a kind of turban, and a kris
at his side. One could almost have
imagined him to be a Spanish bull
fighter with an Oriental finish off. We
all bowed low, and the Sultan, eur
rounded by his Sultanas, put his hands
to his temples end on lowering them
he bowed at the same time. One Sui
Iana was very pretty, or had been 80,
but the remainder we're heavy, languid
and lazy in their movements, and their
teeth dyed black did not embellieh
their personal appearance. They all
wore light colored dual garments OF
great wiz Oh, and light bodIces. Their
couture was carefully finished, but
unfortunately a part of the forehead
vas hidden oy an ugly fringe of hair. .
It is more than probable that the Sui
tan will be a source of endless trouble
to our country. The Spaniards, from
all accounts, certainly found him I'm
ruIy, and derived but little profit from
their sIz srlIutv Of rha islands.
