The men In Germany do not marry

are perfectly willing, even eager, vic.
Tins. They want to be bought, but
their position does not allow them to
grasp the initiative, and they are
thankful when at last some one comes
along and declares herself capable and
willing to pay the price.
The girl and her mother. with their
purse in hand, pass the articles in re-
view and choose out the one which
best suits their means and fancy.

The Easter parade

An echoing drift forgan rolls
Through Gothic churchly arches,
Where saints in marble aureoles
Smile as the column marches.
Fresh from the hower.hung ehancel rail
Comes scent Of springtime's greening
Gathered in valley and in dale
To whisper Aprils meaning.
Across the sky the steeples chime
A message of rejoicing,
Sounding the song Of Eastertime
Our hearts new gladness voicing.
Blossom, We fowers-chime on, we

Sing out your chant Of glory,
Till every pink and pansy tells
Once more the sweet old storyl
Daisies and daffodils devout,

Leave not a bird or bluebell out
That makes the music clearer
And down the stately avenue
City-soarred sons and daughters;
Toward our soulsl In proud review
We walk beside still watersI

Queen ElizahstI,,s Amulst.

Queen Elizabeth during her last ILL
ness wore around her neck charm
made of gold witch had been be-
queathed TO her by an old woman In
Wales, who declared that so long as
the queen wore It she would never be
Ill. The amulet, as was generally tho
case, proved of no avail, and Eliza

charm, not only sickened, but died

were hung around the neck and also

After making arrangements whereby
towns, voting money for militia
armories, could secure state aid, the re-
cent Vermont legislature neglected to
provide the money from which state aid
could be doled out to the towns so vot-
ing. 1t was estimated that $4,000
would be sufficient, and it is said that
q bill was drafted; but where it went
to is another story. Attorney General
Sargent does the best he can in ex-
planning, by the following letter to the
chairman OF the Bellows Falls armory
committee which was to have charge of
the building in that village: "The at
torney general has advised the board of
armory commissioners that by reason of
the fact that no separate appropriation
was made for the military department
by the legislature, there is no money
available for the construction of armor-
les at the present time. The appropria-
ton for the military department which
was included in the general appropria-
tion measure as originally drawn by the
auditor was stricken out late on the
last day of the session without my
knowledge" The decision of the attor-
hey general will probably make it i'm
possible to begin the construction Of
armories until after the next session OF
the Legislature. 1t was an oversight
which ought to be looked after at the
earliest moment when the next legisla-
ture convenes.

Another good audience was present
last night at the Y. NJ. G. a. revival
service at Calvary church. Rev. Hi!
pr ached strong and interesting ser
ron. He spoke as follows:
MY text for this evening will be
found i'm Math, 5th Chapter and third
verse:
Blessed are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the kingdom Of heaven You
remember when Jesus came into the
world and preached a little while he
lad about twelve join church. He
took the church out to have camp
meeting upon the side or a mountain
and he began to preach to them.
When ne saw the multitude he opened
Eis mouth and taught them saying:
blessed are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the kingdom Of heaven. When
Jesus came and started to preach this
S, rmon the first words that he spoke
went right home TO the people.
Now IL there are any folks here that
don't know anymore about the Bible
than ! did. haven't had the chance to
study it. I want to make an cxplana-
ton. If Jesus had lived I'm these mod
ern times and had condescended to use
every day street language that you
hear and all classes of people use to-
cay he would have sa:d Blessed Is
the man who is not stuck on him
self" That would Be the modern way
of putting this thing. blessed Is the
man who thinks that the world might
go on If he dies; blessed is the man
who thinks that the Sunday ,schVol

dent blessed Is tIe man who thinks
that the church might be managed Il
