''It is written of the Son of Mary, that 'having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them until the end. "For that reason, love your brother, who is in the world, and love him until the end, "Love is indefatigable; it never grows weary. Love is inexhaustible; it lives and is born anew in the: living and the more it pours itself out tho fuller its fountain. "Whosoever loves himself S better than he loves his brother is not worthy of Christ, who died for his brothers. Have you given away everything you possess? Go and give up your life also! Love will restore all to you. "Verily I say unto you, the heart of man that loves is a paradise on earth. He has God within him, for God is love ! "The wicked man loves not, he covets; he hungers and thirsts for everything; his eyes, like unto the eyes of a serpent fascinate and allure, but only to devour.

"There's a path by the long deserted mill, And a stream by the old bridge, broken still, Where the golden willow boughs, bending low, To the green sunny banks where the violets grow, The wild birds are singing the same sweet lays That charms me in dreams of the dear old days, When Lora, my beautiful, sat with me On the tnossgrown seal 'neaih the old elm tree. 'Twas there, with the bright blue sky above, I told her the tale of my heart's true love; And there, ere the blossoms of Summer died, She whispered the promise to be my bride. And there fell the tears of our parting sore-- Ah ! little we dreamed we would meet no more; That ere I came from the far blue sea They would make her grave 'neaih the old elm tree. Oh, cruel and false were the tales they told That my vows were false and my old love cold; That my truant heart held another dear, Forgetting the vows that were spoken here. And her cheek grew pale with the crushed heart's pain, And her beautiful lips never smiled again, But she bitterly wept where none could see, She wept for the past 'neath the old elm tree. She died, and they parted her sunny hair, On the cold, pale brow, death had left so fair, And they laid her to rest where the bright young Holers Would watch by her side through the Summer hours. O Lora, dear Lora, my heart's lost love, Will we meet in the angels' home above? Larth holds not a treasure so dear to me As thy lonely grave 'neath the old elm tree. SOUL SAVING. I am sick of the preacher's only strain Save your soul, save your soul, save your soul; I am tired of hearing forever and aye The same old song Irom the pulpit roll. It seems to me like a selfish cry This telling a man that the only thing Of any importance here below Is saving himself from a future sting. Tar nobler, far better, it stems to me, To tell a man to save some other; To send him up and down through the world Seeking and saving a fallen brother. To put him off from the beaten track Out into the hedges of sin and shame, To teach him to tell the captive there The beauty and glory of virtue's name. To rescue the starving one from death; To rescue the sinning one from crime; To preach the gospel of present help To the weary one on the shores of time. To seek out those whom the world forgets; To plant a flower on a nameless grave; To hide the erring one in the heart, And strengthen it with a purpose brave? To do the little ones of God The things which the world does to the great; To walk the world with a purpose grand, And with eye on the final good, to wait. If a man does this, I dare affirm That he can afford to forego all care About going to heaven, and give his whole time To the work of getting his neighbor there. MARRIAGE NO JOKE. THE PEST. Experience ol Arkansas Lawyer Points to the Obvious Moral. livery sport has its hazard, as the Anne Arundel philosopher tru ly observes, but the joke marriage carries with it an element of risk sufficient to appall all the tempora rily imbeciles. Instances in point crop out in the news of almost every day. There is the Arkansas lawyer, who, on being twitted on being single, wagered $100 that he would marry a girl he did not know, but who had caught his fancy at a public entertainment. He did, and is now touring Eu rope to give the lady a chance to divorce hint for desertion. In the news of the same day is the ac count of an aged woman who married her nephew, twenty-three years old, while she was on her deathbed, 10 save herself the trouble of making a will in his fa vor. But worst of all is the unc tous divine a misnomer, if ever there was one who holds him self out as willing to unite boy and girl elopers, and then square his conscience by a suable fee and a doubtful Scriptural text. Of course, the divorce courts are crowded. But they won't be when men exercise the same de gree of care in picking out a part ner for life that they customarily devote in buying house and lot.

Absolutely Pure Tho only baking powder mado from Royal Crapo Cream of Tartar WO ALUM.Wa LiME PHOSPHATE SMALL VICES NOT SO BAD. A southern lawyer tells of a case j that came to him at the outset of ; his career, wherein his principle ' witness was a darkey named Jack son, supposed to have knowledge of certain transactions not at all to the credit of his employer, the de fendent. "Now, Jackson," said the law yer, "I want you to understand the importance of telling the truth when you are put on the stand. , You know what will happen, don't you, if you don't tell the truth ?" "Yessir, was Jackson's reply; "in dat case 1 expects our side will win de case. " Beware of the Eminent Respecta ble Says Judge Ben l.indsey, ol Denver. He warn of the eminently re spectable citizen with the im maculate personal habits. He ware of (he man who has no small vices. He ware of the person in public life who neith i cr smokes, chews, drinks nor ' beats his wife. Judge Hen Lindsey, of Den ver, gave this warning to the women of the Arche club in a lecture recently at Abraham Lincoln Center and, revolution- ary us it was, the remark was ; received with applause. It is the goody-goody boy, said the ; judge, who usually proves the j weakest in the presence of I temptation. The judge used the goody -goody man to illustrate his idea of the dill'erence between vice ; and sin. Algood many small '. vices, he said, are not necesn rily sinful or indicative of sins that may be hidden. On the. contrary, an absence of tin; i small vices is a psychological evidence of character weak ness, rather than of austerity. The judge didn't say, of course that a collection of small ices. ; is always a concomitant civic : virtue; the idea he desired to emphasize was that as a crite rion of righteousness the lack of small vices was entirely misleading.- Chicago Record -Herald. SHE HAD MUCH TO LEARN "Oh, mamma, mamma John d-d-d doesn't love me any more!" "Nonsense, child. What's hap pened?" "When he came home last night he didn't kiss me. And he kept edging away from me whenever I'd go near him. " "Did he indeed?" My dear, he'd had a glass of beer and didn't want you to smell it. It probably didn't hurt him at all, but he was afraid of you. Don't make any mistake, daughter if he hadn't loved you any more, he'd have kissed you without hesitation. You've a lot to learn yet." WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. A school teacher was trying to make a class understand what a volcano is like. In reviewing the lesson she drew upon the black board her own conception of a flaming mountain, using colored crayon with extraordinary effect. "What is it ?" she asked. The scholars shook their puzzled heads. "What docs it look like r" She pursued. "It looks like hell, ma'm," re turned a small boy, soberly.

"Yes," was the reply, "I thought 1 would go. They say that there is quite a number going to join the church." "Is that so? Do you know who they be?" "No. I ain't heered who they all be, only they tell me that Jake Simpson's got religion, and he's among them." "You don't say ! Well, that beats the Dutch !
