From the time wheu he Tras •n impetuous youngster of fourteen ontll be stood beside Martha Custis, a proud brldrnrroom nt twenty-seven, the young Virginian was continually falling in or falling out of love.
He was barely In his teens when ho •et about penning verses. Poetry, however, was aiiparently the wrong route to the heart of Mary Bluud. of Westmorelaud, who proudly reservetl ber smiles, but whom Washingiou re¬ ferred to for years as his "Lowlauu Beauty."
But ronstuniy was not a virtue In the eyes of tile fourleeu-yfarold Washiugion.
In less thau u year he bud beeu iu love with two others—Miss J.uiy Qrymes aud a uauieless luiss whom he uddresBod as "JJcar Sally."
The heroine of the uext eugioKsiUK affair was -Miss Mary C'ary. a eon- neetlou ot Ihe Tairfuxes. Thfiugli at first Miss Ciivy reminded hiui tuo painfully of the "Lowland Beauty" who had rejected blui, and made liiui long, as he said, to "iiury tliat chaste and troniilesome passlou in oblivion. ' yet he flually succumbed to tbe new attraction and Ihc alTalr with Miss Gary continued for several years.
Callant youth though he was, Washington did not always find favor with the maidens uf whose charms he was so promptly  susceptible.
There was. for iustauce. a Miss Betsy ranntleroy. of Kichnioud. with whom, iu \"C WasbiuKlou fell ard¬ ently lu love, but whom be iu vain besuuglii to revoke ber "fornier cruel •entence."
But all this was the mere appreu- tleeshlp at love—a preliminary school Ing In tile world of women. Tile lively Sallies aud lleislcs who coquetted wllh Waslilngiou at fouileen left uu permanent scar. ^J^sceplible as hi' was, he never yielded the whole of bis generous heart until one I'ebruiiry dny lo 1750. \vh<»i Ilic liaiidsouicsl yoiiuc ofllcer in .Viiieiica met aud loved the must lirilliaui and beautiful yuuii;; wuuiau of lier iliiie.

For he was tho very picture, at this time, of tbo gallant that maidens love, with bis pale, aquallne face and mili¬ tary figure set off by a uniform of buff and blue, with a white and scar¬ let cloak orer his shoulders aud n sword   knot   of   rod   aud   gold.     Ills

I. "In those days." This phrsse wsi used to niaik an indefinite period. In Alau. ;i: I it implies a number of years, wiiite 111 Acts 1: 15 it marks a period oi onlv a few days. The events of this lesson oi'ci.rrcd just before the death of Stephen, which was only a short time before the conversion of Saul. "Wus multiplied." AVaa becoming numerous. "A uiunnuring." A complaint. Thr ground for the com¬ plaint was that partiality had been shown in the distribution of the common fund.
3. "The twelve." The apoalles. Jlat- tliiai ^as now one of their number. It seems thai up to thia time the apostles had attended to thia matter. "Callsd the multitude *' As soon aa they were in¬ formed of tlie complaints they immediate¬ ly called the whule churrit together snd proposed a plan by which theae temporal interests could be conaerved. "Not rea* ¦on." "It ia not tit." R. V. It is not the proper thifis tu do. "Forsake the word of Cod" IK. V.) To leave the higher funi'- tions to which we have been railed. "And serve tables." That ii, to attcad to the business duties of the ^nurch.
3. "I.Aok ye out." Choose. Here We ai'C an organised, working cbureh. Ths aiiostiea took the wiae course in order to sllsy any aunpicioD that tbey were show¬ ing piirtiiiiity or Heiired to control the af- fsira nf llie church. "Krom among ynu" III.   V I    That ia, from  among  the Ore
1 lana and llrliieu-a, that there may lie jiia- lice done, and no further cause of com plaint. "Seven men." Seven waa a sa < red Dumber ainoDg the Hebrews sod dc noted coropletenesa.
4. "C'ontinually to prsyer." The orig¬ inal expression here used denotes intense and persevering application lo a thing, or iinu-earied effort in it. Even apoatlea cou'd not live without prayer "Miniatry of the word." Tbe preacblng of Ihe gospel. It is by "the fooliahnesa of preacEing" that the world ia to be saved. The niniater who does not pray muck will be a failure spiritually.
5. "The saying pleased." There was no thought of neglectipg any one, sad lbs whole body of tke diseiple* rejoiced thst a remedy had been proposed. "Stepben." A man in every way qualified to nil the nfflee. He aobly defended the cause of the I.«rd -Teaus and had the bonor of being the first Chriatian martyr. "Philip." In chsp- tcr t; .1 we hear of Philip aa s praaeber in Samaria, and hc ia probably tbe aame st "Philip the evangelist" mentioDad in chap¬ ter 21: 8. Of the other five nothing I« known outaide of thia paaasae. "Nicolaa." That S'lrnlaa waa the founoer of the acrl mentioned in Rev. 2: 8 is a eonjecturs without proof.
8. "Set before the apostles." The peo¬ ple choae thr men, but Ine'spoatlca con* timed tbe selectioD. Tkis implied a veto |K>wrr. "Prayed." The apostlea prayed for theae persona thst tbey might be qual- itird to fill the poaition to which they had brrn called. ''liSid their haads." Tbis waa a symbol of tbe impartatioo of ths gifu and graces which tbey aasdcd to qualify them for their ofBoe.
7. "Incrcsaed." That is, waa non widely spread now that the apoatte* wert freed from aceular csraa, aad left lo girt ihemaeleea unto tbe miaialnr of tka word. The proaperity referred to aaows that per¬ fect narmoay had been rastoeed. "A graal company," etc. Thi wsa tha cn>wBin| triumph of tba aospcl.
I. "And Wepbea." Very iittts is known of Ike history of Btaphen. It it thought tbst he wss osw el Pottr's cob- veru on the day ol Peataeoat. "Fall ol grace aad power" (R. V.)
