Matrimonial Bosh.

Among a certain class of people cry
has lately been raised, the burden OF
which is, Beware Of marrying a pretty
woman" Now isn't that pretty way to
talk to us young fellows2 What is the
matter with pretty women; don't they
make good wives7 OF course they do,
and for our part we advise the ladies not
to marry handsome men; they get thread
bare in spots and places, but it does not
follow that pretty women will do any
thing Of the kind. We mean naturally
pretty women-not the manufactured
kind. Why, what a lot Of lunatics they
must be who argue that they cannot be
made good wives Of We had rather
have two pretty women than one ugly
one any time; so had any other sensible
man. Besides, these crOakers, when
they advise men 10 beware Of marrying
pretty women, virtually advise against
marrying altogether; for where is the
swain who does not consider his dulcina
perfectly beautifully Shamel we shall
marry the handsomest girl in this city.

The Hand that saved Us.


Two painters were employed to fresco
the walls of cathedral. Both stood on
the rough scaffold constructed for the
purpose, some forty feet from the floor.
One of them was so intent upon his
work that he became wholly absorbed,
and in admiration stood off from the
picture, gazing at it with intense delight.
Forgetting where he was, he moved back
slowly, surveying leisurely the work of
his pencil, until he had neared the edge
of the plank upon which he stood. At
this critical moment his companion
turned suddenly, and, almost paralyzed
with horror, beheld his imminent peril
another instant, and the enthusiast would
be precipitated upon the pavement be-
meath. If he spoke to him, it would be
certain death; if he held his peace,
death was equally sure. Suddenly
he regained his presence Of mind, and
seizing wet brush, he flung it against
the wall, spattering the picture with un-
slightly blotches of coloring. The painter
few forward and turned upon his friend
with fierce upbraidings; but starting at
his CHASTITY face, he listened to his recital
Of danger, looking shudderingly over
the dread space below, and with tears Of
gratitude blessed the hand that saved
him. just so, we sometimes get alb
sorbed upon the pictures of the world;
and in contemplating them, step back
ward, unconscious of our peril, when
the Almighty, in mercy, dashes our
beautiful images 20 the ground, and
draws us at the time we are complaining
of His dealings, into His outstretched
arms Of compassion and love.

There is story going the rounds o.
the press of a young man who is a trav
cling agent for Chicago firm. Out in
the far West he was arrested, no expla-
nation given in answer to his demands,
and he was taken ninety miles into the
interior, where he was hailed as horse
thief, and immediate preparations were
made for lynching him In vain he
pleaded and explained. The crowd re-
cognized in him notorious horse-thief
and die he must. He tried to pray, for
he thought there was no hope. But
even while the moose hung over his
head, blessed thought struck him, Ma
sonry would save him. He was Royal
Arch Mason, andin all that crowd there
must be Masons. He gave the Grand
HaiIing Signal, and instantly promi-
nent citizen was at his side More Ma
sonic signals followed, and the victim
was surrounded by some thirty deter
mined men, who held the crowd at bay
with pistols. Telegrams we're sent to
Chicago, answers received, the mob con-
vinced that they had got hold of the
wrong man, and all went merry as q
marriage bell" This is said to be a
fact
