St Paul makGS !' it tho oouter of a group of thrco, saying "Now abidoth faith, hope, charity." u And, though ho aaya that charity ia f1 tho grcatost of tho three, he does cot take one plume from too wing, or ouo %v ray of luster from tho trow, or one r< aurora from tho ohoek, or opo melody 1 from the voioo of tho angel of my text, "Whioh hopo."

When wo ait down hungry at a table, wo do not want an analytical diaoourso 11 as to what broad ia. Uand it on; pass it round; give ua a alico of it. .John " speaks of hope as a "puro hopo." Peter . oalla it a "lively hopo." Paul etylis it j" a "good hopo," a "euro hope," a "ro- J1' joioing hopo." All up and down the Biblo it ia Broken of as au anchor, aa a *r harbor, as a helmot, aa a door.

" A Seen* of Indeaoribablo Confussioa and Horror A fatal wreck ooocrrod on the Santa Fo Railroad, ouo milo west of Franoonia, Arixon, a switch station 20 miles earn ot Needles, Cal., early Wednesday. Sovcn trainmon were killed, P>ree passengers and 14 trainmen injured. Limited trains, bound eastward and westward, crushed togother while running at full spood. The eastbound train was drawn by engines, while the west bound train had but one locomotive. The trains were orushrd and blown to pioees by an explosion wnioh followed the collision. Both tra<ns weio made up of vestibule b oars of the heaviest kind, and whilo i they itojd tbo terrific shook woll and ^ protected tho passengers to a great extent, srvoralof oars took fire at once * and burned up. The dining oars, one ' on each train, one Pullman and two i oomp >?ito oars wore destroyed. i i dg collision in laid to have boon duo to adit regard of orders by tho orew of tho 'Vij't bouDd train, though full r partiou'ais on this point aro as yet ? lacking. From all aooounte, however, ^ it is gathered that tho oast bound train kad orders to tako tho siding at Fran- * oonia and await tho passing of the west ? bound flyer, whioh was running two " houra late, and tryiag to makoup timo. P The oast byund train failed to roaoh * tho einiDg, aod, as the wost bound train 1 did not wait for 1., tho two trains oamo k together without warring and with an D awful crash. Tho boiler of tho west b< und GDgico is raid to havo exploded P irauicdiately after tho orasb, soalding D to death those of the engine orow who "* had not been killed outright. Q A toone of awful oonfusion followed. 1 Tho massive engines piled up iu an in- * dcsoribablo mass of brokon and twi6tod *! a'ccl, while tho soalding steam hung in a donso, suifooating olonld over tho 0 debris, from which tho agonising orios P of the injured and dying onginoor oonld * bo heard. Tho heavy Pullmans and c ocmposito oars jammed tho dining and |< baggago oars upon tho heated pilo tf c debris, carrying death to thediniDg oar b crows aod sotting tho oars afire. '' From tho meagro dotaila of the sooncs gathered from tho p&saoDgcra, it is 8 learned that tho slooping oars, with ono ? or two exceptions, suffered slightly, ? and as a result tho ptBrongors were af ' forded oornptr?tivo immunity from io P jury. So far as loarnod, only three P passengers, all from California, suffer- " cd injuries of a rcvero oharaoter, tho c terrible remits of the wreck being coo- ^ fined almost entirely to the train craws ' and tho employes of tho dining oar w service. ,, The wcBt bound limited carried a fnll ? passenger list from eastern oilits, lot 11 it appears nono wero injured. n n Bridal Superstitions. ii Relative merits of the various months ^ with legard to ma'rimony are set forth ri n the old rhymo whioh runs: p "Marry whon tho year is new, 01 Always loving, kind and trno; When February birds do mate 0 Feu may wed. nor dread your fate. p If you wed when Maroh winds blow, " Joy and sorrow both you'll know. Marry in April when you oau, Joy for inaidon and for man; Marry iu tho iuon^h of May, Fou will surely ruo tho day; C Marry when Juno rosea blow, Jver land and soa ycu'll go. ni i * * iney wno in .July do wed, tluat labor always for thoir bread.

Of tho days in tho woek, Wednesday ai s tho best and Saturday the worst on t! rhioh to get married. The old rhyme ^ uns: ol "Monday for wealth, ^ Tuesday for health, Wednesday tho best day of all, Thursday for oroBsos, Friday for losses, ( Saturday no luck at all." If wo aro to believo superstition, a , ride's happiness depends not a little n what she wears. "Something old nd something new, somothing borowed and something bluo," ia invari- ^ bly regarded by brides. According o an old rhyme: ^ "Married in white, M You have ohoscn all right. T< Married in gray, A You will go far away. PI Married iu black, N You will wish yourself baok. S: Married in red, T< You had bettor bo dead. Married in green, Ashamed to bo seen. Married in bluo.
