LOVES PHILOSOPHY.

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean. -
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by law divine
In one another's being mingle-
Why not 1 with thine?
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea-
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?

PHYSICIAN WEBS NURSE.

The circumstances of the following
story, which comes from Indianapol
indicate that it is unusual enough to be
classed as a romance. Miss Margaret
Mccarthy and c. a. May were nurses In
the smallpox hospital in that city. An
epidemic of the disease broke out recently
and the two nurses. with the other at
taches of the pest house, were busy day
and night.
May and Miss Mccarthy. working to-
gether in the labor of nursing the pa
tents. formed a strong friendship which
grew into stronger feeling rapidly.
While still acting as nurses in the hos
pital they decided TO be married As both
were under quarantine. the method OF
securing a minister and a license and OF
having the ceremony performed seemed
to be involved in doubt. II was decided
that if the two were thoroughly fumi-
gated they might leave the hospital in
search of the minister and license.
They were fumigated. they secured the
license. and were married Then they re-
turned to the hospital, and are spending
their honeymoon nursing the smallpox
patients.

MARRIED AT First MEETING


Closer at home, at Taylorville, H., is
another story of wedding without great
formality. Nineteen-year-o Daisy Youts
recently told her parents that she was
going out to make a CALL leaving her
home late in the afternoon.
The parents had no suspicious, and
Daisy was permitted to go without ques
tioning. She went to the railroad station
and met an incoming train. A stranger
stepped up to her and asked If she were
Miss Youts. She replied by asking him If
he were George A. Cooper. He replied
that he was. They went to Ashland and
were married.
Neither had seen the other until they
met at the railroad station. They had
been writing TO each other for two years.
It was at the suggestion Of a friend Of
Cooper, who was engaged to marry an
older sister of Daisy. that he wrote his
first letter to the girl. She answered it,
and after a year of letter-writing he
mailed proposal of marriage. 1t was
accepted, by letter, and arrangements
were made for the runaway marriage.

A rather amusing instance of the odium
theolOgican-which may, however, have
serious OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES from Austria
liza, but has it's origin in. of all places
in the world, Fiji. Ii appears that the
natives of Suva are greatly excited on
account of the burning of a stack of New
Testaments by direction of some Roman
Catholic sisters. Ninety thousand of
ninety-five thousand Fijians. il appears,
are Methodists the minority being recent
converts to Roman Catholicism. The
sisters. it seems. burned the Testaments
in accordance with rule of their church
which requires that old or defaced reli-
gious books shall be destroyed by fire.
1t is doubtful whether an explanation to
this effect would have had a soothing
effect upon the native mind especially
after good Methodist training. but Car
dinal Moran, Il vigorous member of the
church militant. added fuel To the flames
by procaiming that the converts regarded
the Testaments as only another form OF
their old idols. and had burned them &C
cordingly. There seems reason TO fear
that the affair may lead to serious conse-
quences. At all events, IL Is regarded
very seriously in Melbourne. where the
Protestant churches are furiousiy indig
nant against the cardinal, and have petit
toned the governor general Of Australia,
Lord Tennyson, to investigate the mat
ter. The latter has evaded responsibility
by saying that only the colonial secre-
tary has the authority 10 interfere. So
an appeal is To be made TO Mr. Chamber
lain. Meanwhile, some excited ministers
wrote to Vice-Admiral Fanshawe. the
British commander on the station. to say
that Cardinal Moran had spoken calum-
niOusly Of the proceedings Of the British
navy in Samoa. They begged the ad-
miral TO demand reparation. But the
admiral, a shrewd old sea dog, knew
better than to NEEDLE with such perlous
stuff. and replied CURLY that attacks Of
that sort could only be treated with the
contempt they deserved.

STARTLING CASE OF FICKLENESS.
In Missouri there is a bride who has
upheld womans title TO fickleness in a
startling fashion. She is. or was, Miss
Lizzie Bradley. She would have been
Mrs. Robert Eastir. but she now is Mrs.
Charles Lyons. Eastin went TO Sails
bury last week to keep his wedding ar
rangement with the young girl. He
found that she had changed her mind.
She was prepared for the wedding with
Eastin when q new sutton appeared in
the field. He was a late entry, but Miss
Bradley listened to his suit, and came to
the conclusion that she preferred him to
her fiancee. 1t was not considered neces-
sary to inform the bridegroom of the
change of heart. Probably no one thought
OF him. He was allowed to proceed
with his wedding preparations while the
young girl and the new sutton were mar
ried quietly and left town.
When Eastin came to keep the appoint
ment with his fiancee there was no bride
TO be found. An inquiry was started,
and il was finally discovered that she had
changed her mind ard was already the
wife of another man.

RoMANcEs IN MODERN LIFE.

When the unexpected occurs in a matri-
monial affair it becomes a romance. That
seems to be the commonly accepted way
Of looking AT love and marriage When
the young people issue cards and all that.
II is simply a wedding. When they do
&hings they are not expected to do it is a
romance
The romance depends on deviation from
The ordinary, it seems. For that reason
a marriage in which are included con-
sent Of parents. knowledge OF friends.
Issuing of invitations. and the ike. there
IS romance. That is the popular YER
sion.
Now. no one has any great desire to
be Ike every one else Especially in the
great event of their lives young people
are extremely apt TO want to be differn..
That may the solution for so many
'ronances'
There are other reasons, of course.
Once in while conditions force the lovers
to adopt strange methods. There is the
story of the farmer from North Dakota
who went TO Bismarck to marry the girl
of his choice. He thought he was her
choice until he went TO her residence
with the marriage license, and she told
him she had thought it over and had de-
cided that she would rather be a sister
to him.
