SEYMOUR REACHES PEK1N.
after ArduOzis March aud Frequent
Fighting the Relief Column Is at
Chinese Capitals Gates.

H1ondOn, June .21.-A dispatch from
Shanghai, dated June 20, says: "Aft-
er an arduoUs march and frequent
fighting with the Chinese, Vice Adj
miral Seymour arrived at Pellin Sun
day afternoon. On five occasions the
Chinese attacked the column in
great force. There were many
mounted men among the Chinese, but
most of the natives were badly armed.
AT times they fought with admirable
courage and bravery. The losses of
the Chinese during the march are es-
tinated at 500 Killed. The losses. of
the foreigners were t1ifing.7'
The rebellion is spreading far and
wide. There is an impression in diplo-
matte circles here and on sthe CONT
nent that the allies have not yet
grappled with the situation effectively
and chat even $4,000 troops would be
powerless to do much to control A.
100000 square miles.
The effect of the bombartiment of
the Taku forts, as described by the
Shanghai correspondents, was CORY
in the extreme, nothing less than
rivers of blood" and '''mutilated
corpses piled up insiae the forts"

ADVICE ON MARRIAGE.
This Autherity Says Girls Should Noe
Wed Men and Then Try
to Reform Them

Let net even one thought of marry
ing for gain or worldly ease enter
your mind. Not for "a home, not for
money, not for relief froTn work. not
to help some member of your family,
not even to add to your mothers
comfort, is il right to marry, says
Home Chat. Work your fnger-ends
off 9or those dependent on you, trust
in Sod and do your best. but never
marry for any reason but the only
sufficient one. the certainty that you
love a man better than anyone else
in the world, better than you love
yourself, and believe him to be worthy
of your whole trust. One of the most
pitiful mistakes young girls make in
regard to their marriages is the not
,infrequent sacrifices of themselves
in the belief that they Will be able
TO reform dissipated lives. how many
Broken hearts have followed mistaken
sefforts OF this sort to save a maa
from drunkenness or other debasing
fOllies none of US can ever reclSOns
God alone keeps the sad record! If
:unhappily you learn to love a man
who has fallen into sins which mar
his life, let him prove himself able
to walk nprightly before his marriage
and not imagine that your presence
will save him. Give him no pledge
or promise until long and patient
probation has shown that he is coR-
queror over his evil inclinations.
Some such faults are linked with
most generous traits, and are the
weaknesses of nature originally Iowa
BILE to "a degree; bait it is worse than
folly Ito marry such a man believing
that you can ward off his enemies
God and his own courage must win
the battle.
[ do not mean 4that you may not
have wonderful influence for good;
that precious. gift is yours without
stint. Youth, and sweetness, and the
longing a man has for wife and home
will do infinite service to soul
struggling to free himself from sin;
but let your love be a guerdon faith
fully striven for; and let his self
conquest be long assured before you
risk that most sorroWful existence
