And now a babe has died a tender, tottering, lisping, lovable child. is dead; stark anguish stares out of a girl-mother's countenance as she leans and looks at the tiny face which can't look back; the harsh, dry tightening of the throat, the' fierce grip of hand on hand, bespeaks a desperate endeavor to forestall the cry of rebellion that would come at the untimely taking away of that which she holds so dear. Aye, the struggle of will human over Divine will is a difficult one, and she needs all physical, as well as mental and moral strength, to force back that desperate cry that would break from her lips, and to submissively breathe: "Thy -will, not mine, be done!" But she is good, all good, this girl who is a mother; otherwise her love for the babe would hardly be so great and, after a time even now with gloom within and gloom without, she is able to look beyond to look up where the storm-clouds have broken, to the rift where a silver light is struggling through, and to find written there the answer to her anguished cry of "Why, Why, God, why?" is "For of Such is the Kingdom of Heaven." The Causes of the WarSince the horrible European war began there have been some thousands of volumes and' innumerable columns af newstia. per comment written about its causes, In the current issue of Commerce and Finance, Theodore H. Price's splendid periodical, which is worthy of a place on every business man's desk, it is stated that a Chinese youth recently essayed to write a paper on this subject which for simplicity of statement, brevity and comprehension of his subject, together with the one admirable touch, "I am-a country; I am not a road," is well worthy of attention.

He's a genius. Perhaps She's RJgrht. An observant young man and aymtst demure young lady stood on a certain front porch a few days ago and watched a newly-wedded couple walk by. The young man, who knew the happy couple, remarked on the fact that they had been engaged ever since they were children together; that they had never had an-i other sweetheart. i "Well," observed the demure little woman, "They don't know what they have missed." And then she blushed in charming confusion at the young man's laugh.

The" passing show makes it infinitely worth while, and yet all too soon comes the time when we are willing; to shuttle off this mortal coil and our departure. Somebody -we don't know who but it sounds like a Wilmington man has expressed his views on the world in general and its peculiarities in the following language: j.

"This "is a peculiar world. One is struggling for justice and another is fleeing from it. One jnan is saving to build a house, another is trying to sell his for less than cost to get rid of it. One man is spending all the money he can make in taking a girl to the theatre and sending; her flowers with the hope of making her his wife, while his neighbor is spending what gold he possesses in getting a divorce. One man escapes all diseases that flesh is heir to and gets killed on the railroad.

Another escapes with a scratch and dies with the whooping cough. One man stands off his creditors and goes traveling, while another pays his debts and stays at home." That's says a friend of ours, and so it is. But it rings true all right and so we let it go, remembering that we can't change this world but must take it as it is and make the best of it.
