WOMEN'S FAULTS.
Analwe Them and They Shrivel
I p I.Ike (he Petals o( a Rose
A Chicugo preacher has been
canvassing his Hock to ascertain
hai ure ihe faults of women, and
last Sunday lie preached about
them. Now these are the renoried
fauhs : The present styles of fe
male dress, her cra for soldiers;
puning so much powder on her
face : thai she loves too many
men at once;ihai she has no aim
and purpose in life. It was thought
that hen this canvass was institu

cinating it is the same old story,
(hat when a man goes to searching
about For objections to women he
only succeeds in exposing himself.
Of course, man is not guilty of the
little faults he ascribes to women,
for ihey are too small to cover his
infirmities.
There is the objection to fash
ion- nonsense, it makes them still
more attractive; craze for soldiers
shows her preference for them
over slackers; too much powder is
only the abuse of an almost invisi
ble fault; loves too many men

have to have any; she is aim and
purpose in herself. And so it goes

shrivel up like the petals of a rose.
VERY MUCH THE SAME.
When Lincoln was still an in-
significent country lawyer he had
occasion to travel to a small town
to take charge of a case. It was a
drive of fourteen miles from the
railroad station to the town inn
where he was to spend the night.
Wet and chilled to the bone, he
arrived at last, but to his dismay
found only a small fire built in the
grate, while standing about it, so
as to exclude the heat from the
traveler, were the other lawyers
interested in the case.
At length one of the bunch turn
ed to Lincoln.
"Pretty cold, eh?" he asked.
"Yes," replied Lincoln, "as
cold as it is hot in Hades."
"Ever been to Hades, stranger?"
asked another.
"Yes," replied Lincoln solemn
ly. This raised a faint smile among
the other lawyers.
"What does it look like there?"
they asked,
"Very much like this," said
Lincoln, dryly; "all the lawyers
nearest the fire." Minneapolis

MY ISLE OF
Oh, for a lovely isle somewhere
Away in a boundless sea,
Away where the tidings of mortal strife
Could never come lo me;
Away where the tropic breezes play
And sing their songs of love for aye,
With none to hear save my love and me
In our Isle in the boundless sea.
Oh, for a lovely Isle somewhere,
Where the blue waves lap the shore,
With the gull and parquet to nest
In peace about my door.
And rear their young with none to see
And share their bliss save my love and me,
Where the blue waves lap the shore
And sing their peaceful lore.

entertains lavishly, and hns an
abundance of money; what
more can be desired she is cer

always seems so bright, and
has such a pleasant word for
every one she meets; sho would
not be though with the posses

"What you say is all very
true," replied her friend, to
whom these words were ad
dressed. "Sho has plenty of
money and the things that mon
ey can buy, but I know it to be
a fact that she is one of the
most miserable people in exis
tence. She is often alone in
that great house of hers, hav
ing no children, and her hus

he has a wife. I tell you hon
eotly I really feel sorry for her
and often wish there was some
thing I could do to brighten
her life. Let me tell you, my
dear, outside things have noth
ing to do with our happiness.
It is a matter of disposition, and
all money in the world cannot
make us happy if we aro idle
and discontented and have no
worthy aim in life."
How little do we know about
the people we associate with
our friends and acquaintances
anil even the members of our
own household. When we go
out into the world we put on
the best appearance, don our
good clothes, wear a smile and
sneak a ' asant word for
those we unxi,, when often
fear and dismay clutch our
hearstrings. If we could only
see beneath the surface and
fathom the secrets that lie hid
den there, we would be more
lenient towards those for whom
we are so often disposed to ceu
sure.
We can never judge any one
unless we know all the secrets
of their lives, and this we can
never do, for there are some
things that can never be dis
closed to a human being. The
best is generally told, and the
most important withheld, only
revealed to Him from whose
all-searching eye nothing can
be hid.

him, had often officiated at mar
riage ceremonies, but this was his
first experience ai giving away the
bride.
He was in a devout mood; his
church was small, his salary mea
ger, and his family numerous.
This daughter had been especially
expensive.
"Who giveth this woman to be
married to this man?" droned the
preacher.
Genily the father placed the slen
der hand of the bride in that of the
embarrassed groom.
Take her, my boy!" he ex
claimed, his face aglow. "It is
more blessed to give than to re
ceive." HE HAD EXPERIENCE'
