In addition TO this reas son, the income

My Heavenly Home.
Published by renuest.

(Published by request.
When this earthly life is ended, when
from labor l am free,
Twill be sweet to meet with Jesus in
that home prepared for me,
In that home, that heavenly mansion,
facing streets of purest gold,
There I'll know no pain OF sorrow
while eternity shall roll.
Once away from God wander ed in
the wilderness of sin,
Lured on by sinful pleasures, never
dreaming of the end.
But the blessed Savior found me, as I
wandered in the cold,
In his loving arms be bore me back
into the sheltering fold.
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus. and to
take him at His word,
AS we climb life's rugged mountain
by the path that leads to God,
Though his way Is straight and mar
row as when trod by saints of old
Where it leads deaths stream is shall
low and the waters are not cold.
Still in climbing up the mountain,
and the summit seems 80 near,
To home in that bright city I can
read my title clear.
Soon these mortal ties will sever, soon
he'll lead me to that fold
Where I'll dwell in peace forever
while the endless ages roll.

Well, as / feel somewhat under the

be greatly annoyed because of serv-
ants and slaves. Now, uncle, | as
we'll as you, would be pleased to get

But, now, uncle. let's reason a lit

see if you can lead the world to the
glory land Old Noah told Canaan
be should be servant of servants,
and we find both sacred and profane
history full of servants: Abraham,
Solomon, David, Saul, and in fact,
most all the Bible is full of teachings
about servants. And, uncle, don t
believe that God intended this world
to get on in any other manner than it
now is, and if He did it seems to me
He might have had it changed at His
will. 1t is absurd to believe that an
all powerful God who made this world
would permit it to proceed very far in
the way he had forbidden. Oh, no,
uncle, all you may say or do will not
change the destiny of even Grumpy
county. for the wisest man, Solomon,
and in fact very great number of
great men, have made effort to revolt
utonize tae world and in the end all
their labors have failed to make any
thing even to resemble heaven.
Now, uncle, you and | are like small
potatoes in Ireland, but little noticed.
Some claim that this world is growing
better, but don't believe it is For a
sample just think by God brought a
food. Was it because the world was
getting better? Was Sodom burned for

to destroy the world because the peo-
pie are going to be too good to stay

why should they cry for the rocks and
mountains to fall on them. No, sir,
uncle, there will be more John DIS,
more Spreckles, more Carnegies, more
Gates. and thousands of others who
will fall at the sound of that great
trump of Gabriel than there would be

Princess Amelia's Four Lovers
Not many years have gone since the
Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria shocked
every court in Europe by running away
with Baron Seefried. a young infantry
lieutenant and cousin of the chief execu-
toner to the government at Vienna.
Even more; headstrong was the Princess
Amelie of Bavaria. who, not content with
q single elopement,r actually ran away
with four lovers, thus creating record IN
royal love romances. 1t is proDanly some
extenuation for such shocking conducl
that the princess was scarcely RESPONSE
BILE for her actions.
One of the eccentric Amelie's daugh-
ters, the Princess Elvira, was the her.
oine of a runaway marriage with count
Vrona; another Princess E1vira of Bour-
bon created a great sensation not long
ago by eloping from Rome with an
almost unknown artist; while the dow
ager duchess of Genoa. mother OF
Queen Marguerite of Italy. left her hus-
band to run away with an artillery
officer, whom, after she had become
a widow. she married.
There is, however. no royal family of
Europe which can compare, in ro-
mances of this description, with the
house of Hapsburg. Mesalliances seem
TO run in the Hapsburg blood,
One of the most romantic of the
many stories told of this family is
that of which the Archduke John was
the hero, early in the last century.
The archduke, when returning from
Italy to Vienna, stopped at a small
village for a change of horses and pos
tilion. To his great annoyance no pos
tilion was available.

duke to the next station.
Here were all the elements Of a
romance--a susceptible prince and a
beautiful maid. whose charms were en-
hanced by the masculine garb she wore
and the romantic character she had so
courteously assumed.
The Archduke John promptly foll in
love with the fair position and as his
wife and Countess de Meran she had no
reason to regret an adventure, which,
no doubt, she thoroughly enjoyed, quite
apart from its romantic consequences
