"N'o woman wortiiy of the name," w:ote one of the loveliest la<lies in London society recently, "really cares a brass farthing whether the man siic honors with her hand is handsome or ugly so long as ho possesses the manly qualities of brains, physical strength, honor HT.d so on which make powerful ap- peal to our sex." And certainly history support this ratiier unconventional view, says Tit-Hits, for many of tho plainest men of whom we have any recor<l have not only won pretty ant! well f!eveloi)e<l brides but have been able tl pick and choose among the fair- e.t, to the confusion of their iiuiro well favore<l rivals. Was there ever a plainer wooer, wi; woiuler, than John Wilkes, the famous cl'.aiiipion of iiopul.ar liber- iu I an<l one of the most dissolute ri lies of his <lay ? So ugly vvaa Wilkes thai. THE VERY CHILDREN !.ui uway shrieking at sight of liim ill the streets, aiul yet such was the sjiell he cast iner women that "iu<lies of beauty and fashion vied V. iili each other for his notice, while iiieii of handsome exterior aud all eiurtly graces looked enviously and ini) (itently on." "Give me a (piarter of an hour's start " he usi'tl to boast, "aii<l 1 will win any lady's liaiur against til) handsomest man in Kngland." .â- \iid ho could ha\e <ione it too. Tliere wer(^ few beauties, howe\er fair or highly [iliui'd. whose hands ciiiild not have been his for the ask- ing, and in the very early 'aOs he v.( n for his wife one of the loveli- e-it heiresses of the time, a laily V, Iki refiisi"*! more than one coronet to be his iiiiile.. " 'Beauty and the lUast' they call VIS," Wilkes once said to a fiiciKJ, "and really F cannot fin<! compensating grace of speech or manner. Con, clous of his uiiattrac- tiveness he shunnej ladies' society as he iniglit have shunned the p;ague. And vvhat was the result! Tha ladies, the most lovely and aristocratic in tho land, simply nabbed the "UGLY LAWYER," En<l wei-e as proud to win a smile frcm hitri as an offer of a coronet from any ( ther man. When any one asked. "Where is Bioaghai? ?" the invariable answer wa-i, "Where the ladies are thick- e.st." And, sure enough, there he was ; and the more "he repelled his fi;ir persecutors, the more they clustered round him. Another famous "lady killer" was Jean Paul Marat, one of the leading and most infamous figures in the F'rench Revolution. "Beyond any question," wrote a contempor- aiy, "M. Marat is the ugliest man ir the whole of France â€" and not re rely ugly but positively repul- sive in person, habits and man- ners." And yet in his early years he was beyond rivalry the most popular physician in Paris. His consulting rooms were crowded daily by the loveliest women in the French ca- pital, pushing and jostling to get a word with or iierhajis win a smile from him. That he turned a deaf ear and cold shoulder to their al- lurements only stimulated their ardor, until their attentions became so embarrassing that at one time ho seriously meditated flight. Even when he contracted a loath- some skin disease while hiding in the sewers of Paris, he was devoted- ly nursed by one of the loveliest of iiis many admirers, whom he "mar- ried one fine- day in the presence of the sun." Jf possible a still more repulsive man was Potenikin, the former pri- vate soldier who enslaved the fancy <)f Catherine the Great and by her favor was made virtually Czar of Russia. DREADFUL AND REPULSIVE, was the description of him by one who knew him. "He has an un- wieldy iigure and knookknees, is svarthy of skin, coarse in feature aid has lost one eye. He often passes whole days in his room half dressed, uncombed, unwashed, bit- ing his nails and scratching his un- tidy head." And yet, says Dur- ana, "the lunpress is quite crazy o\or him, as is proved by her pas- sionate letters, in which slie ad- dresses him as 'my lord,' 'my king,' 'my inestimable treasure.'" But perhaps the most remarkable rf all these cases of woman's infat- uation for ugly men was that of W. Hamilton, a Scotchman, of a cen- tury and a half ago. Hamilton was no*^ only preternaturally ugly but he was terribly deformed, "His legs," we are told, "were drawn up to his ears, his arms were twist- ed backward; and almost every member was out of joint." In spite of these terrible physical drawbacks Hamilton easily out- stripped all the gallants in his dis- tiict in the favor of the ladies. "He might have married any of them for ;he asking â€" indeed, it is said sever- al of them actually asked him," say« a chronicler. "But he remain- rtl proof against all their wiles un- til after his eightieth birthday, and then he married a girl of '20, hini- stlf being carried to tho altar >u men's shoulders." ^„,,v, put """" ' 'ts of «at«^ ^ f""" "•'"' "'^" 'leHcriplion. ^ith about t^^'-^ ''"*',,,._ „eel.

Peter's Confession, Matt. 16. 13-28. Uoldcn Te.\t, Matt. 16. 16. Verse 13. The parts of C'aesarea Philippiâ€" It was a lovely district, | whose scenery, from its richness! and variety, has been compared to the Italian Tivoli. Here, about a grove dedicated by early Greek set- j tiers to the worship of Pan, had' giown up a heathen colony, audi H( rod the Great had built a tem- \ pie of white marble in honor of, his patron Augustus. As the place inc- eased into a city Philip tho tet- rarch had adorned it and given it a name suggesting his own power and that of Caesar Augustus. Who do men say '( â€" The question n:ay be regarded either as prepara- [ tory to the more incisive one to' follow, or as a request for infor- mation from those who, through ' closer intercourse with the people, | would know their views. Note that | it is the people's and not the rulers' j opinion which Jesus desires to. know. Fiver since he began his^ publ'c career men had been discuss- ing his deeds and his teaehings. â- The Son of man â€" Mark and Luke | omit this touch, which carries so ! much of our Lord's consciousness of his humiliation and glory. The! n-.arginal reading, "that I,, the Son! of man, am," involves the asser-' tion that he who speaks is the Son cE man, an assertion which could mean nothing else to Jewish ears than a claim to Messiaship. 14. Others, Jeremiakâ€" Though disesteemed during his life, he came to be regarded as one of the noblest of the prophets. There seems to have been a belief that he was to return to the earth. 15 Who say ye 1 â€" The last word is emphatic. Could it be possible that they who had lived >:: such inti- macy with him shared these chance ard uncertain guesses of the crowd l It was a crucial question, since the answer would indicate how deeply the training of the jiast months had really taken hold of them. 16. Peter answered â€" Unquestion- ably he was pre-eminent among the apostles, their spokesman. Mat- thew not only places him first in the list (Matt. 10. 2). as all do, but calls him "first." Already he had accpted the Messiaship of Jesus (john 1. 41), and more recently had given practical utterance to his be- l:cf (John 6. 09). But however tentative these former convictions, tiif re is now nothing but the hearti- est full allegiance. 16. Thou art the Christâ€" To a Jew this could mean nothing less than the One in whom were fulfilled all the expectations of the pro- phets, all the eager longings of men, all the purposes of God for the redemption of men. Under the circumstances, it was an extremely significant confession. Jesus had ccitaiuly done nothing to encour- txpi', the prevailing conceptions of Messiaship. On the other hand, He j hai' oiiposcd them. .\s a result, e\eu the Baptist had cherished a! doubt. But now, in spite of all that ; seemed to contradict the Lord's Messiship according to Jewish ideals, this declaration from the disciples comes forth clear and de- cisive. 17,â€" Blessed art thouâ€" This is the only case of the Master's calling an individual blessed." It is a kind o( cry of exultation, as if he were relieved, by tho answer of a great had of aii.xiety. The use of the ori- ginal name, Simon, adds solemnity, esjiecially as it is coupled with the other name, John, meaning "grace <if the Jyord." The former Simon had trilty become a child of divine grace; for his confession surely c.inie not from any human instruc- ticn but directly from the Father in heaven. 18. I also say unto thee-jHe too, as well as the Father, has l^cvela- tion to make to Peter. It h.as to do not with hiiiisolt but with the fu- ture of his own work, and the rela- tion whi<'h Peter is to sustain to that work. Thou art Pett-r, and upon this rock I will build my church â€"Find- less controversy has arisen over this saying. Which is meant, that the rock is Peter, or Jesus, or the confession of Peter, or the other disciples as well as Peter,' In Ii|ih. 2.
