Of Archbishop TAFT and his devoted

When David Livingstone had passed
his thirtieth birthday with barely
thought for such IAN indulgence as
wooing and wedding" he declared
humorously that when he was little
less busy he would send home an adj
vertisement for a wife, preferably
decent sort of widow; and yet so I'M
consciously near was his tate that
only a year later he was introducing
his bride, Mary Moffat, to the nome
he had built, largely with his own
hands, at Mabotsa. From that "su-
premely happy hour to the day when,
eighteen years later, he received her
last faint whisperings" at Shupansa,
no man ever had a more selt-sacrl-
fcing, brave, devoted wife than the
missionary's daughter.
In fact, they were more like two
happy, light-hearted children than Sc
date married folk. and under the
magic of their merriment the hard-
ships aud dangers of life in the heart
of the dark continent were stripped OF
all their terrors.
Jean Paul Richter confessed that
he never even suspected the potential
tiles of human happiness until he met
Caroline Mayer, that sweetest and
most gifted of women" when he was
fast approaching his fortieth year;
and that he had no monopoly OF the
resultant happiness is proved by his
wife's declaration that Richter is the
purest, the hottest, the most godlike
man that lives. To be the
wife of such man is the greatest
glory that can fall to woman; while
of his wife Richter once wrote: y
thought when l married her that
had sounded the depths of human
love: but have since realized how
unfathomable is the heart in which
noble woman has her shrine.

While grim Fate is reaping
The harvest of red.
