I ihave not words to express my admiration jfor good womanhood. Woman is not ?only man's equal, but in affectional and re- fligious nature, which is the best part of us, she is seventy-five per cent, his su perior, lea, dunng the last twenty years, through the increased opportunity opened for female education, tne women of the country are better educated than the ma jority oi men; and n they continue to advance mentally at the present ratio, be fore long the majority of men will have difficulty in finding in the opposite sex enougn ignorance to mane appropriate -consort. If I am under a delusion as to the abundance "of good womanhood abroad, consequent upon my surroundings since the hour I entered this life until now, 1 hope the delusion will last until I embark from this planet. So you will understand, if I &ay in this course of sermons some- thinc: that seems severe. I am neither cynical nor distrruntled. . there are m almost every tarmhouse in the country, in almost every home of the great town, conscientious women, worship ful women, self-sacrificing women, holy women, innumerable Marys, sitting at the feet of Christ; innumerable mothers, help ing to feed Christ in the person of His suffering disciDles: a thousand caDned and spectacled grandmothers Lois, bending over Bibles whose precepts they have fol lowed from early girlhood; and tens of thousands of young women that are dawn ing upon us from school and seminary, that are going to bless the world with good and nappy homes, that shall eclipse all their predecessors, a fact ' that 'will be acknowledged by all men except those who are struck throueh with moral decay from toe to cranium; and more inexcusable than the Samson of the text is that man "ho, amid all this unparalleled munih tenee of womanhood- marries a fool. But some of you are abroad suffering from such disaster, and to halt , others of ' you from going over the same precipice, I cry out in the words of my text: "Is there sever a woman among, the. daughters of jny brethren, or among all my people, that .uuu goest to taKe a wue ot tne, un cir cumcised Philistines?' : ' ; : That marriage is the destination of the human race is a mistake that I want to correct before I go further. There are Multitudes who. never will marry, and still Skater multitudes who are ; not fit to m.ai'ry. In Great Britain Jto-day there are n'ne hundred and forty-eight thousand ore women than men, and that, I un derstand, is about the ratio in America. y mathematical and inexorable law, you millions of women will never marry. a he supply for matrimony greater than e demand, the first ; lesson of which is that every woman ought to . prepare - to take care of herself if need be. Then there jre thousands of men I who have no right J; marry, because thev .have become so corrupt of character that , their offer . of arriage an insult to any good woman.

Av in hoice of. a ife first of all seek u.e djre.Uon. About thirtv-five rears ago. when Martin Farntihar Tnrmpr the English poet, urged men to prayer before they decided upon matrimonial association, people laughed. vAnd some of them have lived to laugh on the other side of their mouth -. - . - The need ; of divine direction I argue from the fact that somany - men, and some i of : them strong and wise, have wrecked their lives at this juncture. - Wit ftess, Samson and: this woman of Timnath! Witness Socrates, pecked of the historical Xantippe! Witness Job, whose wife had nothing to prescribe - for his carbuncles but allopathic doses of prof anity ! Witness Ananias, a liar who might perhaps have been cured by a truthful spouse, yet mar rying as great a liar as himself Sapphira! Witness John Wesley, one of the best men that ever lived, united to orfe of the most outrageous and scandalous of women, who sat in City Road Chapel making mouths at him while he preached! Wit ness the once connubial wretchedness of John Ruskin, the great art essayist, and Frederick W. Robertson, the great preach er. Witness a' thousand hells- on earth kindled by unworthy wives, termagants that , scold like a March northeaster; fe male spendthrifts, that put their hus bands into fraudulent schemes to get money enough to meet the laviahment of domeatio ' expenditure ; : opium-using wo menabout four thousand of theni m the United States who xri have the drug, though it should cause the eternal damna tion of the whole household.;. heartless and overbearing, and . namby-pamby and un reasonable women, yet married married perhaps to good men! These are the .wo men who build the low club-houses, where tne nusoanas ana sons go: because they can't stand, it at home. On this ea of matrinipny?, where so many have wrecked, am I not right in advising divine pilotage? Especially is devout 1 supplication needed, because of the fact that society is so full of artificialities that men are deceived as to whom . they are marrying, and no one but the Lord knows. After the dress- and the hair-adjuster, and the s dancing- master, ana tne cosmetic art have com pleted their work, how is an unsonhisti- cated man to decipher , the physiological nierogiypmcs, ; ana make accurate judg ment of who it i3 to whom he offers hand and heart? That is what1 makes so many recreant husbands. They make an honor able marriage contract, but the goods de- nverca are so ainerent irom the sample by which they bargained. They were swindled, and they backed out. They mistook Jezebel for Longfellow's Evange linef and Lucretia Borgiay for Martha uasmngton. . Aye, as the Indian chief boasts of the scalps he has taken, so there are in society to-day many coquettes who boast of the masculine. hearts they have captured.. And these women, though they may live amid richest upholstery, are not 30 honorable as the cyvrians of the street, for these advertise their infamy, while the former profess heaven while they, mean hell. There is so much counterfeit woman hood abroad it is no wonder that some cannot tell the genuine coiri from the base. Do j-ou not realize you need divine guid ance when I remind you that mistake is possible in this important affair, and, if made, is irrevocable? ' lhe worst predicament possible 13 to be I unnappuy yoKea togetner. xou see it is impossible to break the yoke. The more you pull apart, the more galling the yoke. The - minister might .bring you up again, and and m your presence read the mar riage ceremony backward, might put 'you on the opposite sides of the altar from where you were ; when ; you were united, might take the ring off of the finger, might rend the wedding veil asunder, might tear out the marriage leaf from the family Bible record, but that would fail to unmarry you. It is better not to. make the mis take than to attempt its correction. But men and women do not reveal all their characteristics till after marriage; and how are you to avoid committing the fatal blunder? There is only one Being in the universe who can tell you whom to choose, and that is the Lord of Paradise. He made 'Eve for Adam, and Adam for Eve, and both for each other, Adam had not a large group of women from whom to select his wife, but it is fortunate, judg ing from some mistakes which she after ward made, that it was Eve or nothing: There is in all the world some one who was made for you, as certainly as Eve was made for Adam. All sorts of mistakes o'ecur because Eve was made out of a rib from Adam's 'side. Nobody knows which of his twenty-four ribs was taken for the nucleus. ; If you depend . entirely upon yourself in the selection of a wife, there are twenty-three possibilities to one that you will select the wrong rib. By the fate of Ahab, whose, wife induced him to steal: by the fate of Macbeth, whose wife pushed him into massacre; by the fate of James Ferguson, the philosopher, whose wife entered the room while he was lecturing and willfully upset his astronomical ap paratus, so that he turned to the audience and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have the misfortune to be married to this woman ;" by the fate of Bulwer, the novelist, whose wife attemper was so in compatible that he furnished her' a beau tiful house near London and withdrew fronT her company, leaving her with the dozen dogs whom she entertained as pets; by the fate of John Milton, who married a termagant after he was blind, and when some one called her a rose, the poet said: "I am no judge of .flowers, but it may be so, , for I feel the thorns , daily ; ' - by t he fate of an Englishman whose wife was so determined to dance on his grave that he was buried in the sea ; - by the fate of a village minister whom I -knew, whose wife threw a' cup of hot tea across, the stable because thev differed in sentiment by all these scenes of disquietude and domestic calamitv. we implore you to be cautious and prayerful before you enter upon the connubial state, which decides whether a man shall have two heavens or two hells, a heaven here and heaven forever, or a hell now and a hell hereafter.' v ' " ' ; ; By the ; bliss of Pliny, whose wife, when her : husband was pleading in court," had messengers coming and going , to inform her what impression he was making ; by the iov of Grotius,, whose wife delivered him from prison under the pretence of ha vino- hooks carried out lest thev be in jurious to his health she sending out her husband unobserved in one ot tne Door cases; by the good fortune of Roland, in Louis' timex; whose wife translated and composed. for, her husband while secretary of the Interior talented, heroic, won- riorP.il AfnHsimfl Roland: bv the haDDiness of many a man -who has made intelligent, choice of one capable being prime coun selor and companion in brightness and in grief praV to Almighty God. morning, noon: and nisrht. that at the ; right ; time and in the right i way He will send you a good honest, loving, sympathetic I wiie; or if she is not sent to you, that you may be Rnt to her. : - .' ' At this point let mo warn you not to ,et a question 01. tnis importance ; ue stv tied by the celebrated matchmakers flour iin almost everv, community.

".v. . t . are ever planning how they can unite 1m pecunious innocence to an heiress, or cell bate woman to millionaire or marquis, and hat in many cases makes lite an unhappi- ness. now can any numan t being, who knows neither of the , two parties as God knows them, and who is ignorant of the future give sifch directions as you re quire at such '; a ' crisis? t -i' ; ,:;-;' -Take the .advice 01 the earthly, match maker instead of the divine truidance. and you may some day, be' led to use, the' words of feolomon, whose expenence in home life was as meiancnoiy as 11 was muitituainous. One day his palace,5 with its great wide rooms and great wide doors and great wide nail, was too small for him and the loud tongue of a woman belaboring . him about V some of' his neglects,' and he re- treated to the housetop to get relief from the fungal bombardmerit,' And while there he saw a poor man on qrie corner of the roof .with a . mattress for his only furni. ture, and the open sky his only covering; And Solomon; envies nim and cries out: It is beter to ; dwell in the corner: of - the housetop than with a brawling woman in a wide house." And one dav durincr the rainy season the water leaked through the root kot the paiace and began to drop in a pail or pan set there to catch it.; - Ana at one side of him all day long the water" went drop!, drop! drop! while .on the other side a female companion quarreling about this, and quarreling about that; the acrimonious and petulant words falling on his ', ear in ceaseless pelting-r-drop! . drop! drop! and he seized hur pen and wrote: "A continual dropping in .a verv rainv day and a contentious woman are alike' If Solomon had been as prayerful at the beginning of his life as he was at hit ciose, how much domestic infelicity ht would have avoided? - -1 But prayer about this will, amount to nothing unless' you ; pray soon - enough. Wait until , you are fascinated and the equilibriirn of your soul is disturbed by a magnetic and exquisite presence, and then you will answer your own prayers, and you will mistake your own infatuation for the voice of God. 1 r 5 If you have this nraverf ul snirit- vou will surely avoid all female scoffers at the Christian religion; and there are quite a number of them in air communities. It must be told that, though the only in fluence that keeps woman from being estimated and treated as a slave aye. as a brute and beast of burden is Christi anity, since where it is not dominant she is so tredted : yet there are women who will so tar forget themselves - and forget their' God that they will go and hear lec turers malign Christianity, and scoff at the most sacred things of tne soul. A good woman, over-persuaded by her husband, may go once to hear such a tirade against the Christian religion, not fully knowing what she lis going to hear; but she will not go twice. ' '' A woman, not a Christian, but a re specter of religion, said to me: "I was persuaded by my husband to go and hear an infidel lecture once, but going home 1 said to him: My dear husband, 1 should result in our divorcement-forever." And the woman was right. If after all that Christ and Christianity have done for a woman, she can go again and again to hear such assaults, she is an awful crea ture, and you had better not come near such a reeking lepress. She needs 1(5 be washed, and for three weeks to be soaked in; carbolic acid, and tor . a whole year fumigated, before she is fit for decent society. While it is not demanded that a WQman be a Christian before marriage, she must haWregard for the Christian re ligion or she is a bad woman and un worthy of being your companion in a life charged "with . such stupendous solemnity and vicissitudes. 'What you want. O man! in "a wife, is not a butterfly of the sunshine, not a giggling nonentity, not a painted doll. not a gossiping gadabout, not a mixture of artincianties wnicn leave you in aouDt as to where the humbug ends and the woman begins, but an earnest soul, one that can not only laughy when you laugh, but weep when you weep. There will be wide, deep graves in your path of life, and you will both want steadying when you come to the verge of them, 1 tell you. When your fortune fails you will want some one to talk of treasures in heaven, and not charge upon you with a bitter, I told you so. Don t make the mistake that the man of the text made in letting his eve settle the question in which 'coolest judgment directed by divine wisdom are all-important. He who has no reason for his wifely choice except a pretty lace is like a man who should buy' a farm because of the dahlias in the front dooryard. Beauty is a talent, and when God gives it He in tends it as a benediction upon a woman's face. When the good Princess of Wales dismounted from the rail train last sum mer, and I saw her-radiant face, I could understand what they told r me the day before, that, when at the great military hospital where are now the wounded and the sick from the Egyptian and other wars, the Princess passed through, all the sick were cheered at her coming, and" those who could be roused neither, by doctor nor nurse from their stupor, would get up on their elbows to look at her, and wan and wasted lips 'prayed1 an audible -prayer: "Godt bless the Princess of Wales. Doesn't she look beautiml? - . The husband looks up m amazement, and says! "Well, well, you are the great est ! woman I ever saw. I thought you would faint dead away when X told you. And as be looks at her all the 'glories of physiognomy in the Court of -Louis XV, on the modern fashion plates; are tame as compared with the superhuman splendors of that woman's face. Joan of -Arc, Mary, Antoinette,' ' and "La Belle ' Hamilton, the enchantment of the Court of Charles II, are nowhere. , ' ' ' . There is another time when the plainest wife is a oueen of beautv to her husband. She has done the work of life. She has reared her children for God and heaven, and though some of them may be a little wild they will yet come back, for God has nromised. She is dying and her husband stands by. They think over all the years of their companionship, the weddings and the burials, the ups and the down, tno successes .and the failures, v They talk over the goodness of God and His faith fulness to children's children. She has no fear about going. .The "Lord has sustained her so many years she would not dare to distrust Him now. The lips of. both of them tremble as they saygood-by and en courage each other about an early meeting in a better world. The breath is feebler and feebler,' and stops; Are you sure, of it? Just 'hold that mirror at the mouth, and see if there is any vapor gathering on the surface. Gone! .As one of the neighbors takes the old man by the arm gently and says; "Come, you; had better go into, the next room and rest."" he says: '"Wait a moroient; I must take one more look at that face and at those hands'." Beautiful! Beautiful ! . - . i ,; : ; . ', ' Mv friends; I hope you do not call, that death. "That is ".an autumnal simset. That is a crystalline river pouring into a crys tal - sea ' That, is the, solo of human life overpowered by hallelujah chorus. - That ia a queen's coronation. That is heaven. That is the way my father stood at eighty two, seeing my mother deDart at seventy nine. Perhaps so your father and mother went. I wonder, if we will die as well. . t THE IVORY MARKET. Th, Supply for , England - Decreases - , 1 v Steadily and .Rapidly. . j Our ! Ivory supply, according ; to the annual reports just issued, continues to show signs of a steady decrease, the total quantity imported last year being only 232 tons, against 272 tons in tne preceding year; and an. average annual importation of 232 & tons, since 1889, so that, naturally there has been a good demand at higher: prices. " ; f ' j In the face of , the continued small receipts prospects are described as be ing decidedly favorablethat is, fromf the seller's point of, view. East In-? ,dlan' cut points suitable for. billiard balls realized, as usual, i the highest price, selling up to 85 10s per hun dredweight, against 75 last year. The west coast :of Africa was the only cen ter that shipped us more ivory last Tear than during 1900, but still the 108 tons received thence are below the average quantity 112 tons-p shipped during the last four years. The quantity received from the Cape was extremely small, only three-quarters of a ton, while last year no ivory came to us through that port. One may say that Cape ivory Is a thing of Tthe past, for even before the present war the country had been t so thor oughly explored that'the big game for merly to be met with in those districts? had either been exterminated or gone further north, and their ivory, if still obtainable, must now be shipped through the more northern ports. This ma,kes one wonder where we shall draw our supply of ivory from when Africa is denuded of elephants, which ' at the present ' rate of progress must soon occur. Would it be feasible to reserve an area large enough to allow the wild elephants to wander about and breed, undisturbed by the hunter, until the time arrives to obtain their tusks? London News. Witty Sayings of Famous Men. King Henry VII. of England was one day much annoyed by a long speech delivered to him by a pompous mayor. As the mayor went on with his speech an ass brayed. "Gentle men," said the king, "pray speak one at a time, please." The story must have been in the mind of the judgd who twitted Curran, the Irish orator. Curran was addressing the court when the bray of an ass was heard outside and the judge could not resist th;e temptation of saying: "One at a time, Mr. Curran, please." But the ass gave Curran his chance. . AS the - judge summed up the bray was again heard and the great lawyer, jumping from his" seat, asked the judge: "Does not your lordship hear a remarkable echo in the court?"

This is an Englisn Bible' printed in 1606. It is bound in - oak boards, covered with leather find re inforced with heavy brass clamps. .The leaves are yellow with age, but : the printing and numerous illustrations are still- perfectly legible. It contains the old Testament, the Apocrypha, a table of proper names, the Psalms, the Lord's prayer, the Commandments, and the Canticles, all set to music. The feature of the book that makes it val uable is the following verse: "And they sewed figge tree leaves to gether and made themselves breeches."
