Marriage is a fair transaction on the

But there is great many put up job.
in it.
1t is an old institution, older than the
pyramids, and is full of hieroglyphic.
that nobody can parse.
History don't tell who the pair was
who first put on the silken harness, and
promised to 90 together through thick
and thin, up hill and down, rain or shine
survive or perish, sink and swim, drown
or float.
There is a great moral gain in mar.
riage. II is the mortar that holds the
social bricks together
Marry young! it it my motto.

talking about
If any body asks you why you got
married (if it needs be,) tell him you
don't recollect.
Marriage is safe way to gamble-ii
you win, you win pile, and If you loose,
you don't lose anything, only the priv.
lege of living dismally alone, and soak.
ing your own feet.
No man can swear exactly where he
will fetch up when he touches calico.
repeat it, marry young!
There is but one good excuse for q
marriage late in life. and that is-a Sec

LincOln's Religious Belief.

Mr.. Herndon, the old law partner Of

full and doubtless very reliable account Of
the religious views Of Mr.. Lincoln. The
history Of his religious growth is shown
to be that of a =" free thinker from the
beginning; at one time, 1885, he wrote
a small book on infdelity, which was al
attack upon the whole grounds of Chris
tianity, and especially upon the idea that
JESUS was the Christ the true and only be.
gotten son of God, as the Christian world
contend" But friend, failing to per-
suade him not to print it, and fearing il
would be an obstacle to his popularity, as
rising politician, snatched the manu-
script from him one day, and chucked il
into the flaming fire. Mr.. Herndon con-
tinues
From what | know Of Mr.. Lincoln
and from what have heard and verify
believe, can say: First, that ho did
not believe in special creation, his idea
being that oil creation was an evolution
under law secondly, he did not believe
that the Bible was special revelation
from God,as the Christian world contend
thirdly, he did not believe in miracles, al

fourthly, he believed in universal inspira.
tion and miracles under law he did moi
believe that Jesus was the Christ, the son
of God, rs the Christian world contend
sixthly, he believed that all things, both
matter and mind, were governed by laws
universal, absolute, and eternal. He held
many of the Christian ideas in adherence

Times Changes.

0 Otime! how swift thou dearest us along
As on thy bosom we, unheedlng, sleep,
And pass our lives, In vain, delusive dreams,
OF grand attachments, and of high renown,
OF well earned glory, meet of earnest toll,
Which, rs we near, recedes and ever still,
As we approach, glides phantom like before
Yet on thou dearest us, and still we dream:
And now change. The vision seemeth real,
And happiness almost within our grasp,
When 10, 1t vanisheth from us again,
And leaves our hearts bereft and chill ms

Thou hurriest, from the fond maternal care.
The beautiful and all unconscious babe.
We look, and there behold the dmpled chcel,
Pressed lovingly upon a mothers breast,
The dropping lids and softly coming breath
Bespeak the sweet repose of innocence.
Again we look and now the mothers arms
Entwine In fond embrace about her boy,
And he is gone to mingle with the world
And she, all pale and mute, with outstretch

Imp.ores kind Heavens blessings on her child
We pass along the thronged busy waste,
And faces greet that. many years ago,
We knew In some old dingy country town,
Or yet, perchance, in far remoter days,
Had loved, within the schoolroom quaint an,

Or In Thoughtful moment, all convulsed
By struggling intellections pent up fires.

The first intelligence that human will
Assumes It's empire DER the life of man.
We greet but yet we cannot realize

And sink within the cold embrace Of death.

And volets breathe their odors on the dawt
Then wither and decay upon the ground,
And our remembrance dies with their la,

The Wife's Greeting.
MRS. O. T.. THOMAS.

1 wait for thy coming this hour with delight
The strings of my harp are In tune.
I've woven my hair with fresh blossoms to-
night,
:eneath the full glow of the moon.
\ welcoming ray hath the heart and the home
Whose doors are wide open for thee.
Oh, swift, weary feet to thine ark of rest, come
And care IN Its shelter shall flee.
Each tone OF thy voice hath a magical spell
There's charm in thy radiant eye,
Forever some rich chords In silence must
dwell
Unless thou, beloved. art nigh.
dream OF the past, OF "A star illumed hour
Unmring its banner of pride.
When two hearts were praying life's hoiies
dover,
On their spirits, ever might bide.
They plight ed their VOWS when the shadowles,
| On the church-tower radiantly shone,
Then away from the shrine, meath wllderint
tune,
They passed to the years unknown.
Thourr here, with thy kis ,es On lip and eye
And wonder ifJoy iikethis
Is not born mid all beautiful things 10 die,
And pass to II realm Of bliss.
| clasp thee close In my fond embrace,
And the swift tears gushing fall,
When think OF a mound in a daisied place,
And life that must bear pail.
But God is good and His dear love keeps
The souls of His children warm.
Fen tho they are LOST ON the surglng deep.
Enshrouded In night and storm.
/ We'er nearer in heart, this hour, my own.
Than when the first pledge was given.
We're nearer, we know, to the golden throne
That stands In the peace of Heaven.
Come join in the song for the lamps are bright
And the glad hours quickly spent,
Let the burden that floats ON the ear OF nigh
Be Affection, Home and Content.
