A box of old documents which had remained long unclaimed in n Wabinn ton storage w irehouso. was sold Cor a IVw cents sometime ago, and the purchaser, nn looking them ovur, was delighted to find that they consisted of letters writti'ii to and hy James Buchanan. Many of tho letters had mine value as autographs, hut ono w is of especial intero.it, as il threw ui'W light on an unhappy romance iu the early il'e of liiueolu's predecessor. It has not heen known that Buchanan died a batchclor because bin engagement willi the dau 'liter of a prominent resident of Liiica-icr, l'.i , was broken by the girl': parents. Her naiuo was Annie Coleman and she died in 1811), a few nioiitls alter I lie; irouMu oceuncd, It is said, from grief over the loss of her lover. W hut excited her f.illier's hostility to young Buchanan is not definitely known, hut those most intimate with the tw heard vaguely of anonymous charge:' which Mr. Coleman would not allow his daughters suitor to answer or even ! hear. Afler .Miss Coleman's death Buchanan wrote to her father askinn pei-uiU-ion to attend the funeral. The let ter was returned unopened, and it wn among those in the box bought from the warehou-e people. In it the future president said: "You have lost a dear child. I hav. lost the only earthly object of my affec tions. My prefects arc all cut off, and I feel that my happiness will bo buried with her in the grave. It is now no time for explanation, hut the time will come when you will discover that she, as well as I. has been much abused. God for give the authors of it. .My feelings ol resentment against theiu, whoever they may be, are buried in the dust.

Open ing the Word of (I 'd at tho beginning and going through to the end we will find them closely woven t igcther. It was when Noah stood by his altar amid the desolations of the tl lod swept world, that he saw the b iw in the clouds and back ol it heard the promise oftlod that He w.oild no more destroy the world by water. It was while Abraham watched amid the deep daikiics around bis allar that G"d sp ike to him of the future id his seed, and gave the promise of tln ir inheritance, then caused ihe fire to pass t hrough and eotisume his waiting sacrifice. And it washy the allar upon which his son lay, be beard God proclaiming him father of the faithlul. It was when .Inch had left all to cling to the promises of (lod that the ladder was seen at Bethel and ihe angels ascending and descending there in. Again, it was after he had disposed of everything he had owued so as lo meet and appease his brother, that "the Angel of God" came, wrestled with and crowned hiin ' Israel" l'rincouf God. It was not ns heir to Kgypt's throne, leader of Kgypt's armies, nor chief coun cilor ol her legislators, that Moses was commissioned to bring up God's peopl but it was long after he had given up all of these that he saw the burning bush and heard the unmistakable voice of God makinL' him the great deliverer anil law giver of his people. It was not whet Saul marshalled Israel in battle array but wheu Samuel stood by the altar upou which was offered a sucking lamb, that (lod hurled back with terror nnd dismay I-r.iel's invadiug hosts; nor was it wh Saul in his majestic biaringaud full armor led ihe host, but when faithful, fearle David took his life in his hand that Goli.it hand the I'hilistinehost were hurled down before the armies oKJod Not until i he thiee llbrew children went into the liry furnace was one like unto the Sou ..I God si eii walking with them nor m, til lluiib I went into ihe lion's den w ii kn w n that the angel of God would lock the lien's mouth that thev do him no hurt.

Not to Saul, amid the surroundings of affluence, and favor, hut to l'aul who had counted all things loss for Christ that the third heav ens were opened aod words unlawful lor mini to utler were spoken. Not to John lis house at Jerusalem, but to John e exile on ratines OIU nou utnoiu inui unerriug roll of future history and glory of His kingdom. Now all iostauces are not accidents, but as sure as a man movesout and offers up self and sell's to God's service he is going to have a clearer and deeper rcali- iii ion of the co-operation of that liviug God. "Jehovah Jirab." (in tho tuouul of ihe Lord it "shall be seen") is the voice from the allar ol real sacrifice still the great law of faith. Ileal faith reaches down into the preciouslhiiigs of life and moves iieaier God lo offer them for His seivice; Maiv-like seeks and hriugs out the box . , of s ikenard for Him, aud so sure as Paul reaches this stage ol sacrifice it is going to see and grasp more ot God, for back nf ihe ens He ever waits and all who will may go up theieon and feel His lov . much aud move with I In power i n in the glory of Ilia purpose. This lilt of uust Ifi-h sacrifice lor God rises up to God in true realiiuioiis. MARRIAGE AND LONGEVITY Statistics Slwwirm That Man Lives Longer In Marriage Than In Celibac. The duration of our life may, in a gen eral way, he lengthened or diminished by ourselves, according as we contribute to its maintenances by healthful methods of living. Independently of these, however, vaiious inner and outer influences urc of great effect upon the duration ol hie, such as marriage, heredity, occupation, religion, race, and cliin ite. This is mani fest to every one in regard to certain influ ences, as, for instance, climate; but it is uot so manifest as relates to marriage. And yet the influenc) or marriage upon the dtiraii m of life is highly favorable. Il.irwin said in his "Origin of Man:" "According to au enormous mass of stai is' ics which were taken in the course of the year 18Sil, it was then ascertained that tho unmarried men in Franco be tween the uges of 2 and 'W die in much greater numbers than the married. Of the unmarried 11,!! die ycatly out of evory thousand, and of the married ouly 6-5. In Scotland this wis shown as early as 180!!. There, for in.-tancc, out of every 1 ,111111 unmarried men between I lit" ages of 2d and !! ) years 1 1 1) died yearly and married only 7 2, or less than hall." A similar condition is observed in nearly all other lands According to Hufcland in his ' Mabrobiotik," out of every 1011 persons, 11 bachelors aud 27 inaiiied men reach the age of "0 years and 21 unmarried and 2S married wo men. -According to Mr. J. L. Casper, the nu nber of persons who reach the pe ril) 1 of life between "0 and 100 years is as follows: Unmarried men, four; mar ried men, twenty; unmarried women, fifteen; married women, thirty-two. The l'reneh stall-lician Deparcieux, who has recordeil not less dS5HI deaths from the parish of St. Sulpiec, gives the fallowing as tin result of his researches: Hi app".irs that man lives longer in mirri ige than in celibacy The number o1' bachelors who die after attaining tlj age of 20 years is n -any twice us great as of married in ui and widowers Als it is found that, of those who survive the age of II ) years the proportion of married wouieii is still more striking; the numbers of those who reach the age of ill) years are as 1 12 to 1 1, respectively.'

When Wulter Forward then 10 was working on bis father's denting in Ohio, an odd volume of Blackstono fell in his way. lie pored over it at night, and resolved lit whatever cost to become lawyer. But bow? He was in the wilderness. He knew the name of hut one lawyer in the world, a certain Henry Baldwin, who lived ill the viilago of I'itls- burg, !!00 miles distant. He started on foot to find him with in his pocket and his volume of Black stone in a bundle hung on a Miek over lis shoulder. He had but one shirt, and ouly the clothes on his back. Oil his way he lound an old horseshoe, which he put in the bundle for guod luck. Before he reached I'iltsburg his money was gone, lie couiu not pay lor crossing tho ferry to the towu. The ferryman at last agreed to take the horseshoe as late. Forward ou reaching the village walked up the street, reading the signs. A man who was mounting a horse asked him what he was looking for. A lawyer named Henry Baldwin," he answered. I am he. What can I do for you, my lad?" Baldwin said kindly. The boy told his story. Baldwin look- d at him and then handed lion the key of bis nflice and told him to take posses sion of it until his return. He remained with Mr. Baldwin 12 years. Ba'dwin in time beeami) judge of the supreme court and Forward one ol the 'orniiosl jurists in tho country, lie was secretary of the treasury under Tyler, and later, minister to Denmark. Such stories as this illustrate the hard daily struggles of most of the men of that lime. They knew nothing of the advan tages which are now common and free as air to every American citizen.

Mexican home life is uniipie. It dif fers very essentially from the domestic life of the Anglo Saxon nice, for it is founded on respect for parents. The in fluence of the Catholic church is power ful in maintaining u high grade of family behavior. There is u sweetness and a charm about a well ordered Mexican home which is a revelation to northern people who have imbibed a false idea of mailers here. The women of tho best Mexican families are naturally of a gcii tle disposition, but they command obe dience, and rarely spoil their sons, whom they idolize. There are exceptions, but they are not enough to break down the general social discipline, As for the girls, no reputable Mexican father or mother would allow for a mo ment the t bought of permitting a girl of any age lo ho on the streets ulicrdark unless accompanied hy an older person, a trusted servant or elder brother. So, even among girls ol the humbler class, there is no street strolling iu the evening. They may, in warm weather, go to the alamcda, or pub lic paik, when there is a band concert, but always under escort. They may go to a tertulia, or evening party, but wnh some competent person. They may 1 ince, mildly flirt, on such occasions, but they are always under the watchful eye of a relative. There is plenty of proper freedom for young- girls, and a larger liberty in the cities than formerly, but they are not allowed lo run about without escort, and a very careful eye is kept upon them hy parents and relatives, even to distant male cousins. Such a thing as a young girl or young woman of any character or family being upon the street at night, alone and unattended, is unknown. Your daughter goes to visit a friend in the afternoon and stays to tea. 1 hen Ihe gentleman and lady ot 1 the knowledge hotie, the gentleman aloue or an old s i vaut briugs her home.

I u milder cases ihe newspapers give uiiuute descriptions of the "satyr" who has insulted a lady, and the public is asked to take warning.
