boonmo nwnro thnt ha loved her.
Tho revelation wns a shock to him,
for ho had been proachingcolibaoy since
ho n a small boy. He had felt him
self wedded to tho chnro.li, to hln nre.it
faith and mission in lifo. Tlio strife of
spirit threw him into n fever.
Miss Canston did the only thlnn that
a young lady in her stato of miud conltl
do. Bhe nursed him, and he allowed
her to. This circiiinstaneo was rufflcicn
proof to their friend that mnrri.ie va.'
cortain. If inoro proof was needed, hi
raved of her in his delirium. Miss Can
ston brought her aunt to lienr him, ani
betwei'U then they fancied him ir.:ii,
'derided to jiinrrr Sophia. ITo tv-U":l hi '
many times if slio would or could mai n
him, "imd it' ho hIiuuM indeed luuujr
her. " Ho went through with tlio mar
riapto ceremony of tho Church of F,njj
land, for tho benefit of imaginary cuu
pies who stood ot his bedsido.
After his recovery Wesley's fiii nil

rcscuo from iiro in his childhood hn he.i"
been convinced that ho had been binnlec
out by his Maker for some (special put'
poso, and now ho was prostrating him
golf before an earthly idol and forget
ting his mission.
Alarmed for his soul, ho rushed to
tho bishop mid tho Moravian iui.ion
nries for ndvico. They had tho samo
hard.unrelonting convintions which tor
mented Wesley, and they advised him
to Bivo up his idol and turn to liia God.
Wesley know not what to do. Ho wan
dnred in the forosts praying aloud for
light as to his walk boforo God. Ho
knolt under tho blooming grnpo vinos,
and shielded by tho long, gray moss
from any living eye sought wisdom
and comfort.
That night ho nskod advico a sooond
timo of tho oldor.
"We havo considered yonrcaso, " Raid
tho bishop. "Will yon abide by our do
cision?" "I will nbido by yonr dooision. "
Then tho bishop said, "Wo advise
yon to proocod no further in this mat
tor." "So be it!" said Wesloy, and that
was tho end.
Poor Sophia was heartbroken. Her
relatives were incensed and compelled
her to marry a Mr. Williamson, though
sho begged Wosley to intoroede in her
bohalf. Even after Rhe was married sho
wrote to Wesley and oast pitiful glances
at him until in his dosperation one day
he forbado hor to attend holy oomraun
ion. He explained this afternoon on
teohuical grounds, but the tide had
turnod and the people of Georgia were
against him. A charge of slander was
instituted, but the assailants, knowing
that they had small ohauoo of snoooss,
dolayed the trial from wcok to week
until life in Georgia beoamo unbearable.
Be made arrangements to leave the col
ony. But even in this tho Canstons
thwarted him. He was forbiddon to
leavo tho province.
Ho novnr went out thnt Sophia did
sot pass and repass him several times,
and often sho was known to look in
upon him whon ho was at prayer in his
own house.
During all thoso trials he continued
to conduct his parish as usual, although
he was a sort of prisoner at largo. At 0
o'olock ono evening tho littlo flock
gathered in tho church for prayers.
Wesley led as usual, Dolumotte was
. there with the friends who still re
i maincd loyal. After tho sorvice Wes
I ley was seen to return to his homo. But
the faithful Dulamotte had planned an
..esoapo from this alow torture. Three
faithful frionds led the young olorioal
, .through the darkness to the pier. There
D Indian skiff bore him down tho river.
Availing vessel was in waiting, and
goon John Wesloy was leaving the land
of Jhis love forever.

Sbakcspeore, who was bora in April,
1604, was in his nineteenth year whon
he umrriod, writes Dr. William J. Bolfe
in Tbo Ladies' Home Journal. Of
Ann o'.e i birth or baptism we have no
record, ,but tbo inscription on her grave
informs ,ps that she was 67 years old
whon Bhe died, Ang. 6, 1023. Bhe must
thereforeihave been at least SO at the
time of ber.mnrriage. Some biographers
have taken .the ground that the "smart"
young woman of 20 entrapped the boy
of 18 into nthis match, whioh, from a
worldly point .of view, was so impru
dent, but I Xuuey that the boy himself
would have disdained to urge any auoh
excuse for hhj.ocaduot

Sovoral tracks of an extinct speoioa of
glgantio bird have t different times
been found in the tou quarry at Hoi

long, armed with three naiifl or claws to

iuohes apart, and 1 1 of them nave been

With the Charcoal Ilrnr.ler.
Many casos of suicide have thus been
brought about by menus of burning
charcoal, of whioh ono example may
suffice, that of son of Bortholiet, tho
colobrated chemist. This young man be
oame affected with great mental depres
sion, whioh rendered life insupportable
to him. Rotiring to a small room, ho
looked the door, closed tip crevices which
might admit fresh air, lighted a char
coal brarier, and with a second watoh
before him notod down tho time, to
gether with his sensations as the gas no
onmnlated. Ho detailed tho approach and rapid
progress of delirium until tlio writing
became larger and larger, inoro and
more confused, and at length illegible,
and tho writer fell dead upon thu lloor.

AYER'S
Cherry Pectoral
SAVED HIS LIFE
So says Mr. T. M. Reed, a highly
respected Merchant of Mld
dlotown, III., of a Young
Man who was supposed
to be In Consumption.
"One of my customers, soma
?ears ago, had a son who had all
he symptoms of consumption.
The usual medicines afforded him
no relief, and he steadily failed
until he was unable to leave his
bed. His mother applied to me
for some remedy and 1 reoom- o
mended Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
The young man took it according
to directions, and soon began to
improve until he became well
and strong." T. M. Kekd, Mid
dletown, ILL
"Some time ago, I caught a
severe cold, hit throat and lungs
were badly inflamed, and I had a
terrible cough. It was supposed
that I was a victim of consump
tion, and my friends had littlo
hone of recovery. But I bought a
bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
took, it and was entirely cured.
No doubt, it saved my life." oj

THE PARIS BOULEVARDS.
A Knlelitnseopln View of I.lfe to fie Fonml
Knwhera KUe,
In no other streets in the wide world
can one seo snoh varied types as on the
grand boulevards of Paris. Why, a trip
through them, on top of an omnibus,
from the Bastille to the Madeleine
and it takes perhaps an hour will give
yon a kaleidoscopic vlow of lifo to be
found nowhero else. At the Bastille,
thu Boulevard des fllles du Cnlvalro
and da Temple, yon moot the laboring
classes, on Sundays in their "bostest
best" and on weekdays in white
blouses and cotton Jackets. Boyond tho
Place do la Hepubllquo the pioturu
3hnnges. Here are tho littlo merchants
and idmpkeepprs and somo larao ones
too. Part her on, up near Hun Vivienne,
new blnod enters this gront artery of
Paris it is tinged with a golden sheen,
for wo are in the heart of theoxohanges,
among brokers and coulissiers aye,
among just such types ns Zola drew
from for iiis book entitled "Money,"
Now tho shops are becoming mora gay
and beautiful, the oafos more elegant,
and the siren voices of Paris make its
joys even more alluring and more tempt
ing. To appreciate it you must do more
than view it from an outsider's stand
point. You must tako part in it,livo in
it, nml for tho time being forget that
yon over wero anything but a continued
and hardened boulovardier.
There, follow my advice, and I will
guarantee that yon will see Paris as
Paris is and not as tourists soe or de
scribe it. bit down with mo at tho tor
raaso of yonder enfo and watch tlio
stream of humanity as it flows by.
What a cosmopolitan throng I Rioh and
poor, merchants and clerks, unmistaka
ble Britishers, blaso journalists, fetch
ing looking nctresses, chin littlo Pari-
slennes of tho petite bourgeoisie, news
boys and beggars aye, and Americans,
too all "touching elbows," as the
French say. Is it not dizzy to look upon,
in its whirling activity, its abandoned
merrymaking?
Hoe that young exquisito With pointed
patent leather boots? Poor follow I Ho

tho boulevard. F. R. Lay land in Home

"I don't boliove tliero is a man living
who is without his pot superstition,"
romarkod a secondhand furniture man.
"Wo constantly have pooplo who sell us
artiolcs of household use and come in
aftor a fowwooks sometimes only days
and try to buy them back again, with
tho explanation that they havo had 'bad
luok' ever since tho salo was made and
novcr would have good luck again until
the bargain was undone.
"Ono woman who had sold ns her
graudmothor's clock fairly wept bo
causo it was gone beforo sho could buy
it in again. This idea is not onnflnod to
nueduoatod or ignorant pooplo by any
moans.
"At this very timo I know a Louis
villo business man of great cultnro and
rofiuomcut who is vigorously pursuing
an old wooden dosk whioh ho owned
many years ago a desk on whioh ho
mado an enormous amount of money by
a fow luoky strokes of his pen. The
dosk passoil from hand to hand and out
of his possession. IIo is now earnestly
