EARLY MARRIA0 ES.--Shc stood be-
side the altar when she was sixteen. -
She was in love; her destiny rested on a
creature in fashionable clothes, with an
empty pocket. He "came of good
family" however, and blood, you know,
is something. She looked lovely as she
pronounced the vow. Think of vow
from anburn hair, dark eyes and pouting
lips, only sixteen years old.
She stood beside the wash-tub when
her twenty-6fth birthday arrived. The
hair, the lips, the eyes were not calcula-
ted to excite the heart. Five cross
young ones were about the house, cry
ing; some breaking things, and one urg-
il4g the necessity Of an immediate sup
ply of the tactical secretion. She stop
ped in dispair and sat down, and tears
trickled down her once plump and rud-
dy check. Alas! Nancy, early mar
riages are not the dodge. Better enjoy
youth at home, and hold lovers at a
proper distance, until you have muscle,
limb and heart enough to face frown-
ing world and a family. IF a chap real
ly cares for you, he can wait two or
three years, make presents, take you to
concerts, and so on, until the times
comes. Early marriages and early cab
bages are tender productions.

! he remark made the young attorney
flush with anger, and turning his flash
ing eye upon the audience, be convinc.
ed them that i. was no mistake, saying.
sJustice wan IS no other book"
His confusion was gone, and instantly
he vas as calm as the overlooking judge
upon the bench.
The Bible was opened, and every eye
was upon him as he quietly and leisure
" turned over the leaves. Amidst a
breathleSs silence, he read these words:
"Lead as not into temptation."
A minute of unbroken silence follow
ed, and again he read:
'*Lead us not into temptation"
We felt our heart throb at the sound
of those words. The audience looked
at each other without speaking-and the
jurymen mutely exchanged glances, as
the appropriate quotation carried its NOR
al to their hearts. Then followed an
address which, for its pathetic eloquence
We have never heard excelled. Its in
flnence was like magic. We saw the
guilty accuser leave the room in fear of
personal violence. The prisoner look
ed hopeful the mother smiled again,
and, before its conclusion, there was not
an eye in court that was not moist
The speech was affecting TO that degree
which causes tears-it held its hearers
spell bound.
The little time that was necessary to
tran; pire before the verdict of the Jury
could be learned, was period of great
anxiety and suspense. But when their
whispering consultation ceased, and
those happy words, "Not Guilty. came
from the foreman, they passed like a
thrill of electricity from lip TO lip-the
austere dignity of the court was forgot

not join the aeclamations that halle the
lads release!
The lawyers first plea was success
full one. He was soon favorite, and
now represents Lis district in the coun-
sells of the nation. The lad has never
ceased his grateful remembrances-and

ExTRAvAGENcE OF GENTLEMEN
The newspapers have rather ungallantly

liable to the same censure in the prices
paid for many articles of dress now in
vogue. The most fashionable cravats
are sold for s.. The fall style of vel
vet vests range from $50 to $50 each
Most of the desirable patterns of the

prices above $40. In the matter Of
vest buttons there is great extravaganza
We hear of sales of single sets at up
wards of hundred dollars, and the

SANDER.

Many young man just entering life
with high hopes and bright prospects has
had those prospects blighted and those
hopes blasted by one slandcrous word
spoken in an unguarded moment. Ru-
NOR unlike the rolling stone, gathers
moss as it rolls on. 1t is the greatest
curse to society. 1t has destroyed many
high hopes, blunted many bright pros.
poets. Many young man with earnes,
endeavor to do right, with good resolu.
tions and better intentions, has become
dismayed and overwhelmed by the SLAM
derous suspicion and consequent distrust
of others.
Many one who has done wrong, but
who would do better, is thus on the very
eve of reform thrust back into the path
way of ruin.
Beware then how you help to circu.
late evil report Of any one. The spirit
which manifests itself in this way, which
delights in accusing, shows lack Of
right principle in him who pursues it,
and indicates that he is in some mea-
sure guilty Of the sin which he accuses
another.
would by far, rather be the SANDER
ed than the slanderer. And you who
are the victim Of this evil, if you pro-
pose, to be good, if you resolve, to be
right; press on, unintimidated by the
groundless whisperings Of an evil tongue.
Preserve your integrity spotless, and
then fearlessly breast the world. Let
not man be your judge; scorn the decis-
ion Of thoughtless world, and press on
ward to meet the future with bold
heart, and you will find your reward.
