An Address On Matrimony.
At the recent wedding in London
of Maj.-Gen. R. Pole-Carew, who
won distinction in South Africa, to
Lady Beatrice Butler, elder daughter
of the Marquess and Marchioness of
Ormonde, the Bishop of Ossory per
formed the ceremon', assisted by
Rev. Canon Fleming and Rev. C. H.
Murphy, chaplain of the forces. The
nave was lined with non-commission
ed officers and men of the Coldstream
Guards, in which regiment thfPbride-
grooin formerly commanded a bat
talion.
'The Rev. Canon Flemiug," says
the London Standard in its account
of the wedding, "addressed the bride
and bridegroom as follows:
"Beatrice aud Reginald, with mu
tual pledges and trusting hearts, you
have to day eutered on the most sol
emn and sacred compact that can
biud mau and woman together, for
marriage is the very sacrament of
love. It is often said that marriage
is a lottery, but if it is founded, as I
believe in jour case, on true affec
tion, there is no lottery in it. Two
hearts that have hitherto dwelt apart
are to-day made one, two lives that
have hitherto been divided run to
day, like quicksilver, into one. In
joy and sorrow, from this hour, there
are two to share or divide it. Bea
trice, remember you are the wife, or,
as the word implies, the "woof" of
the home, weaving the threads of
love out of your own gentle heart, to
environ him against the cold winds
of life. This is a rough world out
side. Let your husband return from
it to be always greeted with the sun
shine of unfailing gentleness, for
gentleness is the loveliest robe you
will ever wear. If I venture to speak
thus to you, it is because I have
known you so long, because I speak
to you as an old friend, because I be
lieve you have formed the highest
ideal of the new relation into which
you enter to day, and will seek help
from God to fulfill it. And for you
(the bridegroom), to whose sheltering
care she is henceforth intrusted, who
can doubt for a moment but that a
soldier, so distinguished for his fidel
ity to his late Queen, and now to his
King, so foremost in devotion to his
country, will cherish the young life
you take to your heart to-day, as a
llower given by God into your tender
care, shielding her from every rude
breath and guarding her always with
a pure and manly love. Duty is the
watchword of the brave soldier, and
the same traits of character which
have always found you where danger
was to be met or duty was to be done
will hold you ever faithful and true
to her, as her Irish heart will ever
beat faithful and true to you. And
may this auspicious day be crowned
by Heaven with life-long happiness
and blessing!"
Reflections of a Bachelor.
Until a man falls in love all girls
look alike to him.
Be sure you're right, then go ahead
but don't ask a woman.
Every engagement on one side or
the other, is a put up job.
A girl has got to be 23 before she
H wjse enough not to try to be witty
No baby under a year old can ever
take the place in a man's heart of a
setter pup.
When a girl is proposing to a mau
she acts most like a cat climbing
down a tree backward.
It is generally a race between the
honeymoon and the lace nightgown
to see which will disappear first.
He may claim to the other wo
men that he doesn't, but the average
man likes to have a girl chase him
No matter how much he is in love
with a woman, for the first hour after
he has proposed to her, he wishes he
hadn't.
At a wedding all the unmarried
women cry because they aren't iu the
girl's place and the married ones cry
because they were.

AKP 0 SPRING.
Bill
Finds Pleasant Thought When the
Sun Shines Again.
How inspiring is the earliest breath
of spring when nature like a blush
ing maid is putting on her pantalets
and preparing to bang her silken
hair. What harmonious feelings
spring up in one's bosom and gush
forth to all mankind. A balmy day
fills all the chambers of the soul with
music that is not heard and poetry
that is not expressed. Spring is un
locking the flowers. I see sweet vio
lets peeping from their leafy beds
and jonquills lifting their yellow
bells to catch the sunshine. What
a rebuke to man is the innocence
and beauty of the flowers what a
contrast to cruelty and strife and
selfishness. The love of flowers is
refining and draws a man nearer to
woman and to heaven, and it is safe
to say that, whatever a woman loves,
a man had better love, or try to.
Flowers, music and birds are given
for our happiness. They are the ex
tras of creation designed for our spe
cial pleasure. Providence would
have withheld them if He had not
loved us. Or He might have given
us only the howling of the winds for
music and buzzards for birds and
dog-fennel for flowers. The love of
flowers is close akin to the love of
children.
Madam deStael said that music
was the only thing upon the earth
that we would find in heaven, for it
was common to angels and to man,
but she dident know. If there are
beautiful mansions and golden
streets and gates of pearl and trees
whose leaves are for the healing pf
the nations, why not flowers? Spen
cer in his arie Uueen says:
"And is there care in heaven and
love iu heavenly spirits for the flow
ers?'' Wadsworth says :
"It is my faith that every llower that
blooms
Enjoys the air it breathes."
The more uncultured and unre
fined a man is the less he cares for
flowers and music and birds. Cow-
per says he would not number on
his list of friends the man who would
uselessly tread upon a worm. Sha
kespeare says the man who has no
music in his soul is fit for treason,
strategems and spoils. Some years
ago I was trying to sell a cottage
home to a rough man who wanted to
buy, and I pointed out the beautiful
roses that adorned the front yard.
He turned away carelessly and said :
"I don't care anything about them
sort of things. If I buy your house
you needent add ary cent for blos
soms." The poet says, "The hum
blest flower that blooms gives
thought too deep for tears." But
there are folks who care no more for
a beautiful flower than for an ugly
weed.
"A Primrose by the river's brim
A yellow primrose was to him,
Ami it was nothing more."
The poets in all ages have paid
tribute to the flowers. One of the
most beautiful poems ever written is
the "Ode to the Flowers," by Horace
Smith. It is among the classics of
old England.
"Y'our voiceless lips are living preach
ers, Each cup a pulpit and each leaf a book.
"Floral apostles that in dewy splendor
Weep without woe aud blu.--h without a
crime."
Mrs. Hemans says:
"The flowers whisper the all fostering
love
That clothed them into beaut-."
Longfellow says:
"They teach us by persuasive reasons
How akin they are to human things.
"Emblems of our coming resurrection,
Emblems of the bright and better land."
But Mrs. Hemans sings the most
fascinating songs to flowers when
she tires of other subjects she takes
a rest on flowers:
"Brin 2 flowers fresh flowers for the
. bride to wear,
They were born to blush iu her shining
hair.
"Brine flowers pale flowers o'er the
bier to shed,
A crown for the brow of the early dead
"Bring flowers to the shrine where we
kucel in prayer,
They are nature's offering their place
is there.
"Bring flowers to the captive's lonely
cell.
They have tales of the joyous woods to
tell.'
Shakespeare had a great heart for
flowers, and he knew them like a bot
anist. There is not a common or fa
miliar one that he does not bring to
pleasant use in some of his plays
How pathetically he laments the
death of Imogen:
"With fairest flowers I'll sweeten thy
sad grave.
Thou shalt not lack the flowers that's
like thy face,
Pale primrose nor the azur'd harebell
like thy veins nor the leaf of eglau
tine that outsweetened not thy
breath."
There was a long time ago a ballad
about two lovers for whom two flow
ers were named, Margaret and Sweet
William. We have margarets among
the flowers now, and sweet williams
are very common. What became of
the lovers is quaintly told in the old-
time verses:
"Margaret was buried in the lower
chancel,
And William in the higher:
Out of her breast there sprang a rose
bush, And out of his a briar.
"They grew till they grew to the church
top,
And then they could grow no higher;
And there they tied a true lovers' knot
Which made all people admire."
As stern and solemn as was Moses
the lawgiver, he was not unmindful
of the beaut' of flowers, for when he
planned the first sanctuary that was
set up in the wilderness he directed
that his cunning workmen should or
nament the golden candlesticks with
carvings of flowers open flowers.
When Solomon designed his magnifi
cent temple the molten brass was
ornamented with representations of
flowers, and so was the cedar carved
with figures of open flowers. The
Bible makes mention of flowers, but
not by name, except the lily and the
rose. "I am the rose of Sharon and
the lily of the valley." "Consider
the lilies how they grow. They toil
not neither do they spin; but Solo
mon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these."
I notice in a late New York paper
that the culture and sale of flowers
has largely increased in that city;
that fort' years ago the sale
amounted to only sixty thousand
dollars a year, and that for the year
just passed the sale of roses alone
was nearly six millions, and that it
was not uncommon for a millionaire
to spend ten thousand dollars for
flowers for a single entertainment.
This is a good sign, and may beahelp
to save Sodom I mean Gotham
from destruction. I wish that all our
public schools would encourage the
pupils to study flowers. There is a
little simple botany that even a child
can understand, and it will tell them
why the kingly house of the Planta
genets took its name from a flower
the Scotch broom (planta genestha)
with which Henry II had himself
scourged for a heinous crime. And
why the geranium means a cranes
bill and eglantine a needle and nas
turtium a nose twister, etc. The
origin ot tne names oi nowers is a
funny book to me.
These school boys and girls keep
me pretty ousy answering ineir
questions and doing their perplexing
sums, and most of them inclose
stamps in their letters. I will con
clude this letter by giving them a
sum: A man sold a sow and pigs for
eighteen dollars. He received as
much for nine-tenths of a pig as he
did for one-tenth of the sow. How
many pigs did she have?

Want Xo Woman's Department.
Missouri clubwomen, led by the
Wednesday Club of St. Louis, have
addressed a petition to the Legisla
ture of the State asking that at the
exposition to be held at St. Louis in
1D03 there shall be no distinctive wo
man's department and woman's build
ing. It is earnestly desired by the
Missouri women that such work
as shall be sent in by women exhibi
tors shall take rank according to
merit, and along with exhibits dis
played by men. It is felt that this
differentiation of work according to
sex is a false and pernicious one, and
that women are entitled to the ad
vantages of a general competition.
It is even urged that there shall be
no board of lady managers because,
as Mrs. Potter Palmer has explained
to the Missouri women when con
sulted upon the subject, from this
board of lady managers at the Chic
ago Fair grew naturally a Woman's
Department and a Woman's Build
ing.
Siilu and South Carolina.
The Boston Post condemns the
system of contract labor in South
Carolina by which, it is reported, a
considerable number of negroes are
held in what is practically involun
tary servitude.
"But," adds the Post, "a practice
which strikes us as intolerable in
South Carolina is established and
recognized under the Stars and
Stripes in Emperor McKinley's new
vassal state of Sulu, in the Philip
pines. There it is found to be con
ducive to industry and prosperity, if
we may credit the statements of
United States officers accompanying
the agreement with the Sultan of
Sulu, whereby the market price of
slaves, to be sold under the Ameri
can flag, was fixed. Sulu is a long
way from South Carolina, but slavery
is the same thing in one place as in
the other."

parts afflicted and realizing instant ben
efit ami entire relief in a very short
time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh
joint, almost prostrating him with se
vere pain, which was relieved by two
applications, rubbing with the liniment
on retiring at night, and getting up free
from pain. For sale by M. E. Robinson

A Western Campaign.
The Atchison (Kan.) Globe hits off
the somewhat amusing mayoralty
campaign now in full swing at To
pe k a. There are two candidates,
and both are regarded as law-abiding,
moral and temperate men. But
the friends of each seem bent on
proving that the other is a monster
of moral obliquity. Colonel Hughes,
says the Globe, points proudly to his
record, which is that he has not miss
ed his weekly prayer meeting in 18
years. "Can Colonel Warner say as
much?" he tauntingly inquires.
"It is true," retorts Colonel War
ner, "that during 18 years 1 have
been absent from prayer meeting
twice, but what are the facts? I can
prove that I had malaria, and could
not leave my bed. Nothing but se
vere illness would have kept me from
weekly prayer meeting, and Col.
Hughes knows it."
It is understood that the Journal,
which is supporting Colonel Warner,
will spring a sensation ; it will charge,
and prove by the records, that dur
ing the past 18 years Colonel' War
ner has entertained preachers at his
house 30 times, including the bishop
on 2 occassions. In addition, he en
tertained 92 delegates to Sunday
school conventions, prohibition con
ventions, Bible study conventions,
whereas Colonel Hughes has always
been backward in doing his duty in
this respect, claiming that his house
was too small, whereas it is generally
known that his house is larger than
that of Col. Warner.
A Ludicrous Telegraph Blunder.
The vagaries of the telegraph ser
vice have caused any number of se
rious and amusing errors in the trans
mission of messages, says an English
monthly. One of the most ludicrous
mistakes ever made by the telegraph
was caused by the loss of a single dot
in a telegram from Brisbane to a
London news agency. As it reached
London it read thus: "Governor
General twins first son," which the
news agency "edited" and sent
around to the papers in the following
form: "Lady Kennedy, the wife of
Sir Arthur Kennedy, Governor-General
of Queensland, yesterday gave
birth at Government House, Bris
bane, to twins, the first born being a
son. me telegram arriving in tne
small hours of the morning, there
was no time to refer to any books,
and it was published by most of the
newspapers in London and the prov
inces and caused an unexpected sen
sation. Sir Arthur's friends pointed
out with conclusive force that some
one had blundered, as there never
was a Lady Kennedy, Sir Arthur be
ing a bachelor. The repeated mes
age which followed read: "Gover
nor-General turns first sod," refer
ring to a railway ceremony.

100 WILLIAM STREET, NEW YORK.
Effect of War on Trade.
German manufacturers of cotton
goods are beginning to feel the result
of the war in China and their deter
mination to restrict production may
affect American exports of cotton.
"For years," states the New York
World, "cotton has been our chief
export, exceeding in value all classes
of breadstuffs; for the pastj-ear high
prices have made it more than ever
the leading feature in our commerce.
Last year the English spinners lim
ited purchases, but were unable to
prevent cotton from goingtolOcents
and one or two pretty sharp 'corners'
from being engineered.
"As cotton was quoted in New
York only a shade above 9 cents on
Monday, the day when German wea
vers were agreeing in Stuttgart to
curtail production, reasons other
than the price of raw material doubt
less influenced them. One of these
reasons a trade factor which will be
felt more and more in the future is
that one of the chief cotton markets
ef the world, China, is devastated by
war and bankrupted by the extor
tionate demands of the powers, Ger
many leading in both lines of activ-
ity."
The Churches Closed.
The people of Waycross, Ga., went
through a novel experience on last
Sunday. Waycross is a city of about
7,000 inhabitants, and has seventeen
churches, but every place of worship
was closed. None of the Sunday
schools were open, and no religious
services of any kind were held ex
cept by the families in thuir homes.
This suppression of religious gather-
5 was due to an order of the
Board of Health forbftiding the as
semblage of persons in public places
because of the existence of an epi
demic of scarlet fever in the com
munity. The people and even the
pastors of Waycross agreed with the
Board of Health that the step was a
necessary one, and no one raised any
objection.
