Beware of the poetical lover, the brilliant lover and the witty lover. Brilliant wit makes many comedians in love and very few true lovers. Beware of the lover wha enumer- ates alt his virtues to you. Always take It for granted that a man never possessee the qualities ane virtues he boasts of. A. good man rather beasts of the defects be has not got than of the virtues- he possesses. Remember that a lover who makes protestations and. vows af constancy may perbn.ps mean what he says, but that he says is often not in nature, and assuredly not in his power to ecap. The best tactics in love Is to be natural. Beware of the man who is In the leaet degree affected. If he loves with all the wit possible he ictres three-fourths of his advantages.

It is encouraging to beeold this of- ficial of eigh rank, "minister or fin- ance," in the court of Queen Can- dace of the Ethlopian,s, now earnest- ly, bumbly. and persistently inquir- ing the way of salvation. When the ela01 is thoroughly aroused to a true sense of its destitute condition, it realizes the utter and absolute insuf- ficiency of everything eartbborn to yield that for which the immortal eoul craves, God's rega.rd for the inquiring soul. The eunuch had turned to tbe right source for light, ria, the word of God. Pea. exix, 9, 105 130. This light the dejected traveller was seek- ing. His inquiring mind had been led to that beautiful and all anoropriate passage, so resplendent waft light (Isar Mi.) and yet so difficult for tbe natural man to understand, for in it we have a most wonderful descrip- tion of the marvelous combination of writers, and splendid qualities, eve- stituting a character in which was personified every ennobling, enrich- ing and God -honoring principle and characteristic, with which the pur- est of mortals had ever been endow. ed, viz., he Christ. , Plan& appointment specific. It was made with special reference to the male of this inquiring soul, as certainly as was the angel sent to inetruct Daniel (Dan. ix. 21, 22), or the seraphim with n. coal of fire to Isaiales lips. (Isa. vi. 8, 7). It must have seemed strange to Philip whose hands had been full of work in the busy city, to now be requested to go "unto the w -ay that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gam which is desert?. Why must be quit the field where analtitudee of souls oan be reached, and where there is so much material to work upon, and go down into a desert, where probably there would be nothing to do but enjoy what God had dove for, and within him? P.Itilip's appointment prOvidential. In the providence of Goa he reacia ed the "desert place" just. in time to meet this inquiring, anelons bout. The etnnich eould have returned home over a. mush more pleasant route.

PRINCE HENRY OF PRUSSIA: Wit& AND WHAT 11E IS. Sketchy Paragraph Study of the German Royal Visitor. Here are some facts about Prince Henry, of Prussia now so much talk- ed of : He is of the Prussian royal family of Hohenzollern. , He is the only brother of the reign- ing German Emperor; eon of a Ger- man Emperor; grandson of a ger- man Emperor; great-gra.ndsoti of a long line of Prussian kings. He is a nephew of the King of Eng- land and a grandson of Queen Vic- toria. He is a brother-in-law and elect own cousin of the Czarina of Russia. He is intimately connected by blood or marriage with the ruling houses of all the smaller German principalities and kingdoms. At the time or his birth his grand- father, William I, was King of Free- sia, the empire not ,aaving been formed. In 1871 his grandfather became first Emperor of the modern German Empire. In 1888 his father, Frederick III., ascended the throne of Germany as second Emperor. The same year Freaerick III. died was succeeded by his sone Henry's brother, William IL, the present Em- peror. William IL has leveret children, who are now In Rile for succession to the throne. Prince 'Henry's chances of ever becoming Emperor are there- fore extremely retuote. i1i6 Pitesique.

Like ids father, Frederick III., he is a Liberal In politics. He has thus frequently incurred reproof from his reactionary brotlier, the Emperor, but has gained in consequence the devotion of the people of Germatty.

(New York Commercial Advertiser,) '„!1 Landsmen boast of their haunted houses and the weird spirits that deuce In country graveyards at mid- night, But there's not a house, no matter how black and dismal and how Inc book from the public road it ricia.y be sitting, nor how many murders may have been committed Within lee walls years ago, that can compare in supernatural terror& with the haunted ships with their crews cif dead men that haunt the traceless waves of the ocean. A.ncl there's not a ghost on land, no mat- ter how many graveyards lie may prowl around nor how many old man- sions he may rattle eludes in and groan and disport himself, that oan hold ap Ole head for ono minute in the presence of one of the gristly, grinning, matted, dank ghosts that ship as Ai le on a ghost ship. - There Is an air of vagueness and unreality anyhow' about the ocean that makes it naturally:a more fit abiding place for ghosts than the prosaic shore. The great track- less, unfathonnel, mysterious deep, with ite centuties of nameless hor- rors still firmly locked in its silent bosom, is tbe proper place for ghosts. And so it, Is no wonder that they who go cloven to the see in ships be- lieve as, firmly in spirits and, spirit ships and roving hulks with crews of men dead centuries agone as they believe in their own existents°. One of the spectral shipsbest known to landsmen generally is the Flying Dutehman, with which Captain Mar- ryat made his readers acquainted. The Flying Dutehman was trying to round the Horn SOli30 time in the early part of the rieventeenth oent- ney. The ship was repeatedly dri- ven back by contrary winds and tides until the ship's captain, vanderdeck- en, swore fearfel oath he would round it if It took tal 3qdment day. Vanclerdeekeewas taken\ at his word, arid nOW for three eenteries lie and his worn (tree, have been bat- tling. to round the cape. Sailors weteh with fear and trembling when their ships are rounding the Horn, afraid that every- moment may bring bath view the spectral Flying Dutch- man. It is believed that every ap- pearance of the Flying Dutchman will be followed by death or mis- fortune to some of the crew of the fillip that sees the ghost vestal. Sees the laying Dutchman. In the private jeurnal of the late Duke Clarenee and las brother, the present Duke of Cornwall and York during their crulee on the Bacchante in 1879-1882, an account is given of their experience with the Flying Dutclartat, whicb they fell in with near Sydney'. The duke wrote: "July 11, 1881, at 4 a.m., the Fly- ing Dutchman crossed our bows. A strange red light, au of it phantom ship all aglovr, ie the midst of which light the meets, spars and sails of the brig, 200 yards distent, stood out in bold relief. ae it came up the ler/emit men or; the forecastle reportee it as, close on the port bow.
