Renowned in letters, famed in art,
The age recedes; Of many thing
Won for mans good from natures heart,
Who will may sing.
The glories OF the faded years
| rather Backward glancing mourn
The deeds i'll done, the wrongs, the tears,
OF the age outworn.
Red wars that reeked with blood Of man,
Wide-wandering license, scepters rent,
Fierce guile that threats the Vatican
These lament.
Where is thy glory, stainless, free,
City Of cities, queenly Rome?
Ages and nations kneeled to thee,
The pontiff's homo.
Woe for lime of Goddess laws!
What faith, what loyalty abides
Torn from the shrines the ancient cause
To ruin gides.
Listen, how science wildly rav>s
Around the affairs overthrown;
Brute nature, with the world for slaves,
Is God alone!
Not made in Gods own image now
Is man-'Tis thus the wise dispute
But sprung from one same cell, they vow,
Are man and brute.
Oh blinded pride on chaos hurled
Oh night proclaimed where light should be!
Obsy thou Him who rules the world,
Man, and Be freel
He only 10 the Truth, the Life;
He only points the Heavenward way;
He only frsss the Soul from strife,
If men obey.
Twas He who led tho pious throng
But now to Peters dust divine;
OF faith to live through ages long,
No empty sign
Jesus, the Judge of years to be,
Direct the tides the tempest still;
And make rebellious people free
To work Thy will.
Sow Thou the seeds Of happy Peace,
All Evil drive from Us afar;
And bid the rage and tumult cease
OF hateful war;
The minds Of Kings and People mould;
Thy word may ali obey with awe;
Be there ono Shepherd and one Fold,
One Faith, one Law.
My course is run, long ninety years
Thy gifts are mine; Thy grace retain;
Let not Thy servants prayers and tears
Be poured-in vain.

CHAPTER WI.

Gladys was pale with wrath. To
men, her excitement would have
seemed wholly disproportionate to its
cause; but women, to whom their in
innate belongings are always part of
themselves, will understand her sensa-
lions. She could have borne personal
attack as easily as this upon her
Lares and Penates. Phebe had never
before known her to be SO angry, and
was startled by the passionate demon
stration. She demanded that Harvey
should be sent to her the minute he
returned from business, nor would she
be persuaded to wait till she was
cooler. When he came, marveling at
the imperative summons, she met him
with reproaches, and censured Helen
unsparingly for her insolent interior
ence. He listened quietly at first-his
surprise at the unwonted exhibition of
anger equaled Phebe's-then his own
ire rose.

Vast Development of the Empire Dur
Ing the Century.
An English writer contributes some
interesting facts relative to the great
growth of Great Britain and her col
onies during the century now closing.
During 1800-1900, he says, the British
empire has increased at the rate of
two acres per second. In 1900 the Unit
ed Kingdom had a colonial area equal
to sixteen times it's own area; in 1900
the United Kingdom has colonial
area equal to ninety-six times its own
area. Roughly the increase has been
from 100000 to 100000 square
miles. II the Orange river colony and
the Transvaal be taken into account,
the colonial area is now more than 81
times that of the home country. The
French colonial area is only eighteen
times the size of France, the German
colonial area only five times the size
Of Germany. In population, the Brit
ish empire has risen from 115.000,000
in 1900 to 800, 900, 900 in 1900. In the
same interval the United Kingdom has
risen from 100000 to 100000,
France from 27.00O.OO0 to $4,000, 900,
and the states now Germany from 21,-
900, 900 to 55.OOO.O0O. The population
of the British empire outside OF the
United Kingdom was, in 1900, about
100. 00O, 900, of whom only 100000
were white. Now it numbers $4,000
600. Of whom 100000 are white;
then one person in so was white. now
one person in Is is a white. The Brit
ish empire is peopled at the rate OF 50
persons to the square mile

she put them in caps and aprons?"

"They belong to the family, and seem
to enjoy living here. They're all over
the place, and you'd think they owned
it, They bother Saunders to death
stealing his flowers. Them Blakes are
very possesslve people"
"And Harvey-does he approve?"
He'd approve Of anything that
pleases his adoring wife. The way she
goes on over him is just sickening.
And the girls. too, make an awful fuss.
It's Brother Harvey here and Brother
Harvey there from morn till night.
They treat him as the head Of the
family, and he's boyish enough to be
tickled to death by their nattering
ways"
Gladys sighed.
I'm afraid 1t will be very hard for
me to right matters, Phebe. I don't
feel equal to the task"
Not now, because you're not your
self. You'll get back your courage in
good time; you must, for your author
ity will be gone for good If you submit
to Mrs. Harvey's impudent meddling,
and you'll have to fight for your rights.
1t won't be as hard as you think. All
the servants are ready to come back.

their board. Was that rightT'
Gladys nodded approval.
Annette is staying with Sauder's
cousins, hard by, and can be brought
over at any hour. So you see matters
are not as bad as they seem. Now
drink your wine and milk and forget
all this. Never cross bridge till you
come to it, dearie."

asked.
Yes. Why not? I am almost as

"That isn't it, Miss Gladys, but you
see-wel1-the room isn't ready for
you," Phebe blurted out.
mot ready? What do you mean?'
Then, as a sudden suspicion flashed
across her mind, she asked sharply,
Surely Helen has not interfered with
my own private parlor?"
She's done just that, and given 1t to
her sisters as sort of day nursery and
sewing room. When Il objected, Mrs.
Harvey said she was sure you would
not object to an arrangement that kept
the baby so near you, and as you had
no maid, her sisters would be at hand
to do any bit of mending you needed"
How dared she!" cried Gladys, with
flashing eyes and compressed lips. HAS
the furniture been removed?"
"Only your desk and book cases and
card tables, which are in the library.
The piano was left for the girls to
practice on. Their music lessons were
interrupted when Mrs. Harvey mar
ried."

How Mrs. Pinkham
HELPED MRS. GOODEN.

LETTER TO MRS. PIMKHAM NO. 1881
81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. went back,
but in less than week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, ! de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone l felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

now is How much better you look" and
