boy, but fatal 10 act upon, for Of
all misfortunes that can happen to
a man the very worst is to be tied
down 10 a sickly wife. II means
nerves, which I'm turn means tenn
per and bitter unjust speeches.
II means working your fingers to
the bone to pay doctors. 1t
means never having one minutes
peace or freedom. 1t means GO
ing from a hard days work to a
home that is full Of Querulous
complaints and whining. 1t means
a life that is a nightmare.
If sickness comes after mar
riage. and the wife becomes an
invalid, a husbands duty is to
comfort her as we'll as he can.
That is an unavoidable misfoT-
tune, and must be borne as such,
but no man need hunt for trouble
as he does when he picks out a
delicate woman for a wife.
The moral of ali of which is,
my son. to select the kind of a
wife you need and can afford. Ii
you've got a parlor mantlepiece,
then the Dresdent statuette may
be all right. Otherwise stick to
serviCeable delft.

Lovely Thing 1t Was.

Do you remember that German
ivy your grandmother had? 1t
grew, and grew till it was al
most a scandal. Old ladies came
for miles to see it. They fairly
tiptoed into the room where il
crept over the window.
"My,my, whispered one of them,
as If she looked upon a miracle.
My, my; why, it's almost scarey
when it grows so tall"
a lovely thing ii was, the Ger
man ivy, green and glossy, and
shining. Five points the leaves
had, didn't they, like little fingers
on a delicate hand?
Creep, creep, up the old win
dow 1t felt its way, up the south
side first, looking for the sun that
cheered its day, across the top,
down the north side, a regular
curtain that made flecks Of shad-
OW on the old floor and caused the
puppy to leap growing upon the
dancing spots when a draught
stirred the leaves.
There were other plants in the
window there at srandma's, set
on a wire stand. Who has seen
one Of those wire stands for
years? 1t was banked high with
plants, geraniums, fish and rose;
whoever dared call that sweet
flower q fish? Which was it had
the crinkly leaf and when you
crumpled 1t in your hand It smell
ed, oh, like Araby the blest?
What big. strong, smooth leaves
the other kind Of geranium had.

OF course. Napoleon cared
nothing for treaties if they stood
in the way of mis- ambition. and
six years later he and the Car
Alexander entered into a pact by
which they hoped TO create for
England the same dangerous sit

So filled with pain and trouble to the end

Nor stand mmoved and them 90 astray,
Nor would ] force unwilling souls to stay
Who longed for freedom, you, my friend
But like a tender mother l would take
The weary world upon my shetering breast
And wipe away Its tears. and sOOthe its strife
| would fulfill my promises and make
My children bless they sank to rest
Where they curse-if | were YOU 0 life!'
IFE made no answer; and Death spoke again:
L"I would not from God sweet nOthingnesS
A soul to being, if could not bless
And crown II with all JOY. If unto
Ny face seems awesome, tell me- Life. why then
Do they pursue me- mad for my caress,
Believing in my silence lies redress.
For your loud falsehOOds? so Death spoke again.

The mighty secrets of that other place
