THE OLD HOME.

Twas only a humble cottage,
Not far from the village street;
But the cool green meadows inclosed It.
And the flowers brought fragrance
sweet.
The birds In the roofs old thatches,
The winds in the tall elm tree,
The pathway that led to the woodlands,
q Made the happiest home for me-
Then, no world beyond the meadows,
, Disturbed my beautiful dream;
My playmates were birds and flowers,
And we used to sing to tho stream.
But now the green meadows have wild
ened,
Far, far to the rolling sea,
And 1 sail away on it's bosom
From the home OF my infancy.
o lands of crimson and purple!
o white jeweled cities afar!
Ye throb on the restless ocean,
Ye dazzle like Orient star;
But, oh! for the home of my childhood,
And my world of meadow and tree;
For the quiet calm Of those old, old
days
Has forever gone from me.

CONCERNING MARRYING AGE.
Figures Indicate that the Percentage
of Youthful Marriages Is Small.

The dictum of Governor Warfield
that girls should not marry until they
are 20 has naturally caused consider
abel discussion among those most in
terested-the girls themselves, their
parents and the young men who do
not want to wait for a bride until she
is verging on old maidhood.
The first question OF interest is a
matter of fact: Are our girls generally
marrying at too early an age? Some
light is thrown on this matter by City
Registrar McGlenan, of Boston, in the
Globe of that city. He shows that in
the year 1902, out of 6.172 brides only
100. or a little more than 2 per cent.
were less than IS. While more than
half the total number were under %,
yet 1850, more than two thirds of the
whole number of brides, were mar
ried between the ages of 20 and 90"
These figures, the registrar thinks,
do not indicate that all girls are mar
rying at an abnormally early age"
Other writers on the subject testify
that marriage is entered into by both
sexes at a later average age than in
former generations in this country.
There are many reasons for this be-
sides wise paternal supervision and the
individual good sense of young people.
The growing independence of women.
the more extensive fields for their en-
ployment that have opened, the longer
period given to education, operates to
deter marriage as the increased cost
of the welded state deters many young
men until they can afford it,"
There can be no doubt that this
tendency is wholesome and sensible.
The average girl does not reach her
full mental and physical maturity I'M
! til she is "a at least, and her choice
of a husband is likely to be more in
diligently made if she gives herself
time for observation and reflection. Be-
sides, she is entitled to a reasonable
period of freedom and fun-including
coquetry, which, while natural and
charming in girls, is not becoming OF
always safe in young matrons who
married too early to have had their
share.-New York World.

MRS. SANGsTER AND TALMAGE.
She Sat Next to Woman Who Had
Heard the Noted Preacher.

She Sat Next to a Woman Who Had
Heard the Noted Preacher.
1t was during one of Mrs. Sangster's
Western trips, in vast amphitheater
which had been erected beside a beau
tiful lake. Here, from Sabbath to Sab
bath. noted preachers came from all
over the country and crowds gathered
to hear them. One Sunday Mrs. Sang
ster and her intimate friend, Mrs. Ter
hume (Marion Harland), decided to at
tend one of these meetings. In order
to reach the place they had to cross
the lake. They were detained on the
way, and the house was full by the
time they arrived. The only space
left was ON the platform, and there
were no vacant chairs. Two of the
most distinguished gentlemen present
saw the dilemma, and started out in
search of chairs. Soon they returned,
and forced their way through the
dense mass of people, each of the two
bearing above his head diminutive
rocking chair painted in a conspicu-
Gus tint of light blue. Even the most
serious reflections upon the sacredness
of the time and place could not re-
strain the amusement Of the two la
dies as their knights forged to the
front with these very funny chairs.
They had arms and were over-small
for their recipients, but they managed
to make themselves comfortable, and
gradually Gained themselves in prepa-
ration for the exercises which shortly
succeeded.
During a brief lull a strange woman
near Mrs. Sangster nudged her and
whispered, loudly, rs that man DR..
Talmage?" pointing toward that noted
clergyman.
Yes
81 thought So" she said, triumphant
ly. Il heard him once at the Brooklyn
Tabernacle. | never shall forget how
he began by rushing right out to the
front of the platform with a little
Bible in his hand and hollering out
The ta-astimonies of the La-ard are
ra-a-ight.' l can see to this minute
Just how he did it. l thought that was
him. 1 have come thirty miles to hear
him this morning"
The woman had scarcely ceased
when the distinguished preacher whom
she had been describing arose without
any introduction, as was his habit, anc
advanced like whirlwind to the from
of the platform. Stretching out his
long arms, with a small Bible in his
right hand, he began, in his own pc
culiar, rasping, and yet not disagree
able voice, The ta-astimonies of the
La-a-rd are ra-a-ight.' - Woman:
