Mark Twain on the Devil.

I have no special regard for Sa- tan, but 1 can at feast claim that I have no prejudice against him. II may be even that I have been a lit- tie in his favor, on account of his not having a fair show All reli- gions issue bibles against him, but we never hear his side. We have none but the evidence for the prosecution, and yet we have ren- dered the verdict. To my mind, this is irregular. It is un-English 1t is un-American.
 Of course Satan has some kind of ascase, it goes without saying. It may be a poor one, but that is nothing; that can be said about any of us. As soon as l can get at the facts l will undertake his rehabili- tation myself, if l can find an impo- lite publisher. It is a thing we ought to be willing to do for any body who is under a cloud.
 We may not pay him reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can al least respect his talents. A person who has for untold cen turieS maintained the imposing po- sition of spiritual adviser to four fifths of the human race, and pO- liticaI head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of ex- ecutive abilities of the loftiest order. In his large presence the other popes and politicians shrink to midgets for the microscope. I would like to see him. I would rather see him, and shake him by the tail. than any other member of the European concert.

\ Just Tribute.

Robert G. lngersoll once said: Tt
 takes foo men to make an encamp- ment, but one woman can make a home. l not only admire woman as the most beautiful object ever ere ated, but 1 reverence her as the redeeming glory of humanity, the sanctuary of all virtues, the pledge of all perfect qualities of heart and head. II is not just nor right to lay the sins of men at the feet of women. It is because women are so much better than men that their faults are considered greater. A mans desire is the foundation of his love, but a Woman's desire is born of her love. The one thing in this world that is constant, the one peak that rises above all clouds, the one window in which lights forever burn, the one star that darkness canot quench, is a woman's love. It rises 10 the greatest heights, it sinks to the lowest depths. It for gives the most cruel injuries. IL is perennial of life and grows in every climate. Neither coldness nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty, can eXtinguish it. A woman's love is the perfume of the heart. This is the real love that has subdued the earth; the love that has wrought all miracles of art; that gives us music all the way from the cradle song to the grand closing sympho- ny that bears the soul away on wings of fire-sweeter than life and stronger than death.-EX.
