William, 1 huve not seen you for
a long time. We have not been in-
timate friends, and yet the fault has
not been mine. I have sought you
everywhere and other places.
I would that I might keep you
here in my room. I would that we
might be always together. How
faithful 1 would be to you if you
would but be faithful to me ! But,
alas, it is not to be! Affection
such as mine for thee was born bur
to be blighted.
Come, 1 will introduce you to the
landlady, and she in turn will pre¬
sent you at the court of sellers of
ham and bacon.
How terrible y r our late! It is in¬
deed sad that you may not remain
in good society.

Some newspapers are terrible
liars. In writing of a cyclone out
west one of them said it turned a
well inside out, a cellar upside
down, moved a township line, blew
all the staves out of a kerosene bar¬
rel und left nothing but the bung
hole, changed the day of the week,
Jfilew the hair off the head of a
bald headed man, lifted the mort¬
gage off a farm, blew all the cracks
out of a fence and knocked all the
wind out of a populist.—Comanche

The Origin of Woman.
A translation which has just been
made by a Sanscrit work gives the
following story of the orgin of
women :
In the beginning when Tvvashtri
(the Hindoo Vulcan) came to the
creation of woman he found that
he had exhausted his material in
the making of man, he had no solid
elements left,
In his dilemma, after profound
meditation he did as follows :
“He took the rotundity of the
moon, and the curves of creepers,
and the clinging of tendrils, and
the trembling of grass, and the
slenderness of the reed, and the
bloom of flowers, and the lightness
of leaves, and the glances of deer,
and the joyous gavety of sunbeams,
and weeping of clouds, and the
fickleness of the winds, and the
timidity of the hare, and the
vanity of the peacock, and the
softness of the parrot’s bosom, and
the hardness of adamant, and the
sweetness Qf honey,and the cruelty
of the li g er ’ and the warm g lowof
fire, and the coldness of snow, and
the chattering of jays—and com¬
pounded allthese together he made
woman and gave her to man.”

Potato Salad.
Mix one teaspoon salt in one
tablespoon water, add a pinch of
cayenne, six tablespoons of olive
oil, and two tablespoons of vinegar.
Mix thoroughly together. Chop
one medium size Bermuda onion
very fine and stir it into the diess-
ing. Chop a small quantity of
parsely and a little cold beet, and
slice one quart of cold boiled pota¬
toes. Put the potatoes into a salad
bowl, pour the dressing oyer them,
and toss it up well, scatter the beet
over the top and sprinkle the pars¬
ley over all.

A farmer went into the office of
a weekly paper recently to pay his
subscription and handed out a
$1000,000 bill. The editor’s friend
thought when the last bulletin was
issued that his chances for recovery
were about even.

Night Thoughts.
A pious Scotch minister being
asked by a friend during his last
illness, whether he thought himself
dying, answered : “Really, friend,
I care not whether I am or not, for
if I die, I shall be with God, if I
live, He shall be with me,”—Ar-
vine.
S. T. Coleridge, speaking of a
dear friend’s death, said, “It is re¬
covery and not death. Blessed are
they that sleep in the Lord ; his life
is hidden in Christ. In his Re¬
deemer’s life it is hidden, and his
glory will be disclosed. Physiolo¬
gists hold that it is during sleep
chiefly that^we grow; what may
we not hope of such a sleep in such
a bosom ?” C. H. S.
There must be life in Christ be¬
fore there can be sleep in Him,
“Louis, the beloved, sleeps in the
Lord,” said the priest who an¬
nounced the death of Louis The
Fifteenth. Thomas Carlyle’s stern
comment, “if such a mass of lazi¬
ness and lusts sleeps In the Lord,
who think you’ sleeps elseweere.”
But why should so vast a price
be required? Is man worth the cost
A man may be be bought in parts
of the world for the value of an ox.
It was not man simply* but man
in a certain relation that had to
be redeemed see one who has been
all his days a drunken, worthless
fellow. All apppopriate to hitn
the epithet worthless worth noth¬
ing. But that man commits a
crine for which he is sentenced to
he hanged or to be in prisoned for
life. Go and try to buy him now
Redeem him and make him your
servant. Let the richest man in
Cambridge offer every shilling he
posseses for that worthless man,
and this offer be wholly * vain.
Why FBecause now there is not on¬
ly the man to be considered but the
law. It needs a very great price to
redeem one man from the curse of
the law of England, but Christ
came to redeem all men from the
curse of the divine law.—William
Robinson. ,
Does not justice demand the di-
dication of yourself to your Lord?
God has not only procured a title
for you, but a title to you ; and Un¬
less you devote yourself to His ser¬
vice, you rob Him of His right.
What a man has bought, h^ deems
his own ; and especially when the
purchase has been costly, And
has not God bought you with a
price of infinite value? And would
you rob Him of a servant from His
family ; of a vessel from His sanc¬
tuary ?
To take what belongs to a man
is robery, but to take what belongs
to God is sacrilege.—William Joy.
A speaker at the Fulton street
prayer meeting said, I count all
cheques as cash when I am mak¬
ing up my money and striking a
balance and so when we feel that
we have not much of this world’s
goods we can at least take hold of
Gods promises for they are just so
many drafts at sight upon divine
mercy and we may count them
among our possession. Then we
shall teel rich, and the soul is rich
who trusts God and takes his prom¬
ises as something for present use.—
“My Sermon Notes.”
Promises are like the clothes we
wear; if there is life in the body
they warm us, but not otherwise,
When there is living faith the pro-
will afford warm comfort, but
a dead, unbelieving heart it lies
cold and ineffectual It has no
more effect than pouring cordial
down the ihr<»it <*f ;j corp-.e.— \\ .

Reflections of a Bachelor.
It is generally a mystery to a
man just how he came to propose.
The millennium is only another
name for the Noah family reunion.
Half of the trouble in the world
is caused by the devil; the rest is
caused by family friends.
The girl’o idea of diplomacy is
to pick out another girl for a man
she thinks wants her and deviling
him into going with her.
The houses in heaven never need
any cleaning, but even there the
women angels will probably want
to change the furniture around.
You can generally 7 buy a man
for a lot less than his wife thinks
he’s worth.
A woman’s political opinions
are most as easy to understand as a
Chinese laundry ticket.
Self-possession in a woman is
knowing that her dress fits her bet¬
ter than any other woman’s there.
Every old maid at 40 ought to
be made to take oath that it was
not her fault or else be imprisoned
for life.
There is about the same danger in
a widow that there is in a success¬
ful lie.
The proof that there is no house¬
cleaning in heaven is that there is
no heaven in housecleaning.
When a woman tells you that
all the men are alike she has gen¬
erally found out that one of them
was different.
No woman can afford to wear
4 t sensible” shoes as long as there
is any man who doesn’t act sensi-
ble about her.
Very few men who are wise
enough to make women love theifi
can be idiots enough to make them
worship them.

Cup Custards.
Heat one quart of fresh unskim¬
med milk in the double boiler un-
til it is quite hot. Beat the yolks
of four eggs until they are smooth
and well broken, add four heaped
teaspoons of sugar and one level
teaspoon of salt and beat until thick
and creamy, Beat the whites
slightly until loamy, add them to
the yolks and sugar, and then mix
thoroughly with the hoi milk, turn¬
ing the milk into the eggs rather
than the eggs into the milk. Set
t e custard cups in a shallow pan,
fill them with the custard stirring
well as you pour it in, that the foam
be equally distributed. Fill them
as full as you can, then set the pan
in the oven and fill till nearly run
mng over, Pour hot water in the
pan and bake them carefully in a
hot but not too hot oven. If they
are very foamy they scorch quickly.
Take each one out as soon as it
puffs up and a knife blade, inserted
clean to the botton. comes out
clean.
The depopulation of Ireland by
emigration goes s f eadily on. O —I -
ficial returns just issued show the
number of emigrants who left Irish
ports in 1900 was 47,107, or 10.5
per 1,000 of the estimated popula¬
tion of Ireland in the middle of the
year, being an increase of 3,347, as
compared with the number depart¬
ing in 1899. The total number of
emigrants natives of Ireland who
left Irish ports from May 1, 1851
(the date at which the returns be¬
gan), to Dec. 31, 1900, is 3,841,419
—2,003,344 males and 1,838,075
females. These figures tell their
own tale. It is interesting,
however, to note that not all who
quit the Emerald Isle seek fresh
homes on this side of the Atlantic,
j n no fewer than 6,050 natives
left Ireland with the intention of
settling permanently in Great Bri-
tian. Of these 4,123 left for Eug-
land and Wales, and 1,927 for .Scot.
land, the average for the four pre¬
ceding years being 1,757 and 1,030
respectively, This shows a con-
siderable increase. T he number of
persons who leave England and
Scotland for permanent residence
in Ireland is very small. On the
other hand, the annual exodus from
Scotland to England is considera¬
ble.
