Some excellent bon mots are ascribed
TO Lord North. Il am obliged to you
for introducing me to some old &C
uualntances," he said to his physician
nfter an illness which had reduced his
corpulence. "Who are they, my lord r
asked the doctor; and the Prime Min
lister replied: my ribs, which | have
not felt for many years until now
Oddly enough, though never so happy
as when in society or at home, Lord
North had no love for music. 4 friend
who begged him to subscribe for a
series of concerts urged as a reason
the fact that Lord North's brother did
so. YES" said North, land If | were
Us deaf as my brother | would sub
scribe too" George III. once asked
the Premier the character of a we'll
known office seeker He is, YOU
Majesty" said North, Chief Secretary
for Ireland-a man on whom, If your
Majesty were pleased to hestow the
United Kingdom, he would ask for the
Isle of Man as n potato garden"

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

l believe with my whole soul that wha,
God hath put together man has no right
to put asund.~ l believe that in the
cases where 'God has joined them g.
gether no man can put asunder, no man
ever does or ever can or will; but ] have
too much respect for God to feel willing
to hold him responsible for all the mnr-
riages that have taken place since the
beginning of the world. ] believe we
have a right to turn that saying around.
Where God has put people asunder No
man has a right to force them to stay 10
gether.
If the husband and wife have both
ceased to love each other and there are
no children. they should be permitted 10
separate. Suppose there are children:
suppose husband and wife have lost their
love for the other. If the children's well
fare would be subserved by their MAIN
tanning a home, then they are under the
highest kind of obligation to maintain
that home
! would make divorce difficult. | would
compel people to take at least one year
in the process of divorce. They shOuh
not be able to get through in one month
or three months or six, and perhaps by
the time year was ended they might
have had time to think il over and re-
consider their intention. ] would net
allow them to remarry the next day or
the next week or the next year. ! would
have il at least two years. and perhaps
three.
There is no place In the world whore
divorces are so easily obtained AS in the
United States. and there is no place in
the world where women stand so high,
where women are granted so many HbeF-
ties and rights. no place where they are
so free to seek the highest and best
things, where they are surrounded by 50
much care, such courtesy, such sympa-
thy, such respect.
The great cause why there are so many
more divorces in this country than any
other is that here. for the first time IN
history. women are granted freedom 70
throw off a thousand intolerable burdens
under which they have been borne down
and crushed from the beginning OF the
world.
| believe that If a careful investigation
were made we should find that large
proportion Of the divorces granted in this
country means kindness and considera-
ton toward woman, readiness on the part
Of the manhood Of America to deliver her
from crushing burdens. set her free, givsf
her an opportunity to retrieve so fan
wasted life.

CHAPTER XXIV

Sir Hubert was lying between life and
death, while nurses watched him and list
ened for the faint, low breath. The 81.
lcnce OF night had fallen over that lux
urious mansion when he opened his eyes
and asked for the Duchess OF Bayard.
The women looked aghast at each 9th
er, The Duchess of Bayard was in her
room and asleep, they believed. They
did not like TO call her.
81 believe that | am dying" he said,
"and | must see her"
They heard him murmur something To
himself that no had been saved by a dog,
and 1t occurred TO them that ne wished
to speak to her about the dog. So, in
the silence of the night, they went 10
her room in search OF her, 10 say that the
dying man wanted her. In the silence OF
the night she rose to go.
She found him lying quite calm, wait.
Ing for her, She went MP to him,
You wanted to speak 10 me" she said
gently. IL am here"
Irene" he said, II want you. Send
these women away, that may speak tC
you"
She did so, under some pretsIt. ant
they were alone.

PLUMBERS OF LIFE.
by Rev, PoIenuy NJ SvfSf

Some OF the blunders OF young people
are Ito rush into the arena of life with
out the best possible preparation for the
battle Of the giants, especially such as a
good education would give; to allow ones
self to drift on and take up a business.
trade or profession in "A haphazard way
or to make choice Of life work without
due consideration of the question OF 1T
ness or adaptation; insane matrimonial
alliances; disregard of the eternal laws
of fitness and compatibility; the mistake
of starting where the fathers left off: ex-
travagance and living beyond ones
means; the Subordination Of the future
to the present; short cuts to wealth es-
Fecially yielding to the insane craze of
gambling; the exclusive cultivation of one
department OF nature; living ms il the
making OF money were the supreme thing
and the failure TO make choice of Christ
in early years
Speaking To the second point, every
man is fitted to do some one thing bet
ter than he can anything else. In that
he can succeed splendidly. In anything
else he will be a comparative failure The
world is full OF people who simply dim
and make no honest effort TO get out of
the current, They are east by the waves
of chance upon some shore OF Opportu-
nifty, and there they content themselves
with mediocrity when they might have
won distinction in some other field.
There is no sense in trying 10 make
minister out of boy who Is fit only 90
pillow corn. A man will not succeed In
law If his whole soul goes out 10 music.
What kind Of a mechanic would I,ongrel-
low have made? Charles Darwin could
not nave been a 6rst-clsss poet, soS sossd
Edison have made au artist.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers in 1889 the editor or this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one fine day in
Arril. During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his claim.
he encountered much bad water, which,
together with the severe heat, gave him
a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check, and along
in June The case became so bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one Of his neigh
bors brought him one small bottle OF
cnamberialn's CONC, Cholera and Diarrhoae
Remedy as a last hope A big dose was
given him while he was rolling about on
the ground in great agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon noticed
and within an hour the patient was TAX
ing his first sound sleep for a fortnight.
That one little bottle worked a complete
cure. and he cannot help but feel CRATE
