“Nothing is more impressive
than the permanency of Napoleon’s
greatness. Year after year,” as
Dr. John L. Stoddard aptly ob
serves, "accusers rise, assail his
memory, and pass away. But still
the Vendome Column towers
above Paris, and still its plates of
bronze portray in beautiful relief
his victories over united nations.
His memory resembles a gigantic
cliff emerging from the sea of time.
The waves of calumny may break
against it; the lightning’s bolt of
hatred may descend upon its brow;
the cutting winds of sarcasm and
malice may attack its surface;
clouds of misunderstanding may
conceal it; and even the disinte
grating touch of Time may strive
to mar its massiveness; but pres
ently the waves are stilled, the
tempest disappears, the mists all
clear away, and lo! the cliff is
there, serene and indestructible.'’
Had we the lime we would have
paid a visit to the renowned and
splendid Chateau of F'ontainebleau
(just forty miles from Paris) with
which so much of French history
is intertwined, particularly of the
Napoleonic period. The palace
of Fontaine belle-eau has been
"compared to a magnificently dec
orated volume of French history,
each page adorned with famous
names, distinguished portraits,
royal coats of arms, and illustra
tions of the pageantry and pleas
ure, luxury and intrigue, comedy
and tragedy, inseparable from the
records of a Court.” We also
longed to visit the famous battle
field of Waterloo (not far from
Brussels), where upwards of 50,-
000 soldiers perished, and Napol
eon was overwhelmed (see Victor

Port St. Denis. Leaving the tally-

Carroll and the author were driven
to the salon in the triangle be

Seine, or two Palaces of the P'ine
Arts—the Grand Palais and the
Petit Palais, where we spent some
time viewing with considerable

from London, however, showed us
a lot of this vile matter that he

never have we seen anything like
them for out-and-out immorality,
After being shown them we were
sorry that our eyes had ever gazed
for a single moment upon such.

We have such as the testimony of
credible physicians and visiting
the truth. The
that anyone on
earth can in Paris enjoy larger
liberties without outside interfer
ence or personal detriment, and
we have no doubt of the former
while very serious doubt as to the
latter. The iniquity of Pompeii is
more than reduplicated in Modern
Paris, if we may believe the testi

thank God the tempter has never
in all our life led us across the
threshold of a den of impurity.

even in wicked Paris—"the cradle

—the Lord has others of His own

favorite seat in the Abbey, saw the
graves of the Wallace family, also
where "King Robert Bruce’s

enclosure. This ; s a wonderfully
fine old specimen of Gothic sculp

not to have its equal anywhere on

ranking among the most beautiful

Enlarged
The Railroad Wreck Sale is over. It was the greatest sale
in the history of this stole, and convinced ns that, there is
plenty of room for the growth mid development of our
business. So we have determined to enlarge and improve
our store. The work will be done next month; and before
the carpenters, plasterers and painters move in to do this
work we w ant to move out as much of our stock as possi
ble. We want to get the goods out of the way to make
room for the workmen. In order to sell the stock down
as low as possiblo, we have decided to price everything for
the next few weeks at most attractively low prices. Any
thing and everything in the store will lie sold at less than
usual prices, to move the goods.
(’ome and see the stock and gel w hat yon want 'at
prices that mean a great saving of monoj to every pur
chaser.
Remnants of the

Broken lots of the big wreck sale stock remain. They
must go. V011 can get these goods at any reasonable price
offered. Here’s the place and the time to pick up bur-

The
Importance of Life
Insurance.
MV REV. It. K. IlYAN.
I am no insurance ngout; hut I Jo
not hesitate to Huy that modern in-
suninoc ooiiich nearer to giving some
thing for nothing, and making that
something sure and certain than any
other known institution of our times.
Indeed, so sure, cheap and certain
has it become that no man, however
poor, is without excuse who does not
tnku advantage of thu inducements
offered him lo lay up a little money
to bury him when dead and provide
support for his afflicted and stricken
loved ones when lie is nailed away.
It is siiort of unpardonable crime
when a father and husband, with a
wife nnd children de|>ending upon
him for support, neglects tills sacred
obligation; uses up uuch week his
wages, nnd in a movement of time is
stricken hy death; compels his
friends to bury him; leaves iiis fam
ily destitute and objeots of pity and
charity.
Though I should live a thousand
years I never coaid forget the picture
of just such a scene as tins I saw in
Mt. Hope cemetery a few days ago—
tlie one that inspired the sermon. I
was called upon to preach the fune
ral sermon of a man who wus a clerk
in one of the great railroad offices.
He had a beautiful little home, a
lovely wife and child. He lived a
life of simple, happy ease. In vain
did insurance agents importune him
to ouriy just a little insurance. He
lived each week to the limit of his
small salary, saving nothing. He
refused to take tusurunoe on ucoouut
of the expense.
One day he was sitting at his desk
writing and whistling when sudden
ly his whistling censed, his writing
stopped, his head dropped forward
011 iiis hook, and his heart, ever light
and guy, oeased to throb.
When Iiis oooouuts were footed up
ho had nothing. The hoys in the of-
fleo had to buy iiis coffin nnd defray
all funeral expenses, and they were
just as poor as ho. One dollar a
week invested in life insurance
would have avoided all this.
The saddest sight I think I ever
witnessed in my life was his frail,
delicate littlo wife, standing beside
that open grave with the cold winds
whistling through the barren trees,
sobbing ns if her poor heart would
break, with not enough money in
her pockotbonk to buy her a lunch
and nay her way hack to her cheer
less home.
After she returned to her home,
what then? No lin-ad in the pantry,
no money in the purse, no coal in the
hunker, and the next month’s rent
due.
I have no sorrow for that dead hus
band. My sympathy is all for thu
poor, destitute and unfortunate wife.
It is a pity that such men cannot suf
fer the penalty of their own folly;
hut, unfortunately, the suffering is
endured by their luckless wives and
innocent children.
