COursshiO After Nafrfapa

There was much more than a mere witticisn
in the remark of the old bachelor VINO
bad paid attentions to maiden lady
for twenty years, visiting her regularly every
night, when rallied for not marrying. II /
were married L should have nobody to court,
and no place to go al night. He had deeply fsls
the contrast between his own delicate and
ethereal enj0yments and the hard, discomfort
ed, fretted life OF too many married people, and
his answer was irony. He saw there was soma
thing in courtship which too often exhales and
expires after marriage, leaving a cold
duil. monotonous burden. where all WAS
beauty and buOyancy before. Let us see
what that something is. In courtship,
nothing is taken for granted. Both par
ties are put on their good behavior. Love
sion in word and act. But, strange to say, the
courtship usually ends with marriage Very
soon both parties yield to the sense of Posses
sion, and the feeling of security robs gallsntry
OF motive and extracts the poetry from the mind
The beautiful attentions which were so pleasing
before marriage are too often forgotten after
ward; the gifts cease, or come only with the
asking; the music dies out OF the voice; every
thing - taken for granted. and the love til at,
IKE the silver jet of the fountain, leaped to
heaven, denied its natural outlet, ceases TO flow
altogether. Then come dull, heavy, hard DAYS
with two unhappinesses tied together, wishiu !,
themselves apart, and not always content With
merely wishing. This is unnatural and wrong.
What married life wants to give il new tone a nd
sweetness is more of the manner as well a. the
spirit OF the counting time. Very much of the
pleasure Of courtship comes from the constant
dtuthtlOHs OF tne parties 10 each other. ThSir
affection voices itself in all possible ways. Every
senten ce is edged with q compliment and sDok en-
in tender tones Every look Is a confession.
Every act Is a new word in the exhaustless yo-
cabulary or love. kiss and caress are paren-
thetic clauses and gestures In the dialect OF 10 ye
and gifts and sacrifices are the more emphatic
expressions Of the spirit no language can fully
articuiate and no devotion declare. And IL IL
the fact that affection confesses itself continu-
ally in look and word and act, making the voice
musical and the fingers poetic In their touch aud
doing, that makes the experience SO beautir al,
the only Eden many woman ever has on earth,
Love must have expression Or il will die. IL can
be kept forever beautiful and blessed as at the
first, by giving 1t constant utterance in word nd
act. The more ii Is allowed to flow out in deli
cate attentions and noble service, the stronger
and more satisfying and more blessed it will be.
The house becomes home only when love drops
Its heavenly mama in il fresh every day aud
the true marriage vow is M AIDE not once for all
at the altar. but by loving words and helpful
service and delicate attentions to the end

The EclfpSe of Bret Harto

There is one other topic about which it "a
high time word was said-the eclipse OF Brst
harte. No man ever came, stranger, to Bos-
ton. and met a more favorable disposition to ap-
Preciate and honor him. No man ever more
wretchedly dishonored expectations. Haryar.
College had elected him to membership OF the
Phi Beta Kappa before he left California, aai
invited him to deliver q poem at the next An
pual meeting, when President Porter, OF Yale
was to deliver the Grafton. President POrter's
Grafton was a credit to the society and To him
self. 1t has been read wherever philosophy is
honored. Bret Harte despised his opportu sity.
and selected from his portfolio feeble piece,
composed IN his yeally days, which, under the
circumstances, was not much better than a con-
temptuOus insult. He was invited to read a
poem at the meeting of the Society OF the Army
OF the Potomac, IN this city, and accepted. At
the last moment he refused to appear, but seat
atoieraDle tribe, that was read by another gem
tleman. 1t is understood that he contr acted,
al high price, with j. X. OsgOod & CO. 20
write for their publications. The public oe;pg
Judge, he has not earned his wages. During the
period OF his engagement he contributed poems
10 New York magazines, for which it Is fair ID
presume, he accepted pay. He engaged to de.
liver lecture in one OF the courses here, but at
the last moment failed. The manager supplied
his place with DIR. .. W. Holmes, and publicly
denounced bis conduct. Mr. Harte replied in a
replied by q statement, well substantiated by
letters and documents, which left Mr.. Harte
very seriously damaged in reputation. A rival
manager induced him to lecture, aud at lengta
ne kept an engagement. The public. however,
distrusted him, so that, hstanding the fact
that II was publicly announced that he had ar
rived in the city before he had started from New
YORK. people were on the street, distributing
tickets generously, on the afternoon OF the lee,
ture, to insure q full house. The iAdc atoms ara

Taste In Agriculture.

estate, like English ones, could be fenced en-

and would also give so much shelter 10 the

An Unpleasant Predicament

1t Is hardly sale for the owner OF a rare work
to make too sure that no duplicate exists Of it,
One OF the eminent numisnatists in London
came into possession of q singular and highly
valuable coin, OF which ne felt Certain thas no
duplicate existed. Wishing to surprise his
brother numismatists, and have them rejoice
with him upon 20 rare q Pc ssession, he invited
dozen OF them to dinner, and when the cloth
was removed he brought out his coin. Great
was the delight and the cOngratulation as the
coin passed around and one after another ex-
amined it. But presently the coin disappeared
no one could tell how. AT first Ii was thought
that some one had concealed it as a Jest, and
there was no alarm; but time went on and
the coin was not forthcoming, Some
of the guests intimated that the joke
was being carried too far. Still it did
not appear. Wherein a gentleman present
said the loss was 50 serious that, unpleasant
as the suggestion was, he must insist that the
individuals present should submit to being
searched. All were eager to have this done
with the exception OF one eminent man, who
declared that he would not submit to such al
leaving the company convinced that he was the
thief. Next day the poesessor Of the rare co n
visited the gentleman who declined being
searched, and, with profuse apologies for the
affair, announced that the missing coin had
been found, caught in the fringe OF hearth
rug. WhereupOn the numismatist who had lie.
the room said: 81 had in my pocket the dupli-
cate Of your coin. / took it with me, thinking
to astonish you, but when found you had in
vited US to dinner TO display the same coin,
had not the heart to say had one Just like it.
But had l been searched 1t would have been
