To Those About To Marry.

Ny Advice is to marry as quickly as
possible, for mono but those who are,
unhappily, verscd in such matters can be
aware of the manifold minor, to say
nothing of major, evils which long en-.
gagcment entails. The position of an
aflianced pair, after time, becomes al
most ridiculous. Premature congratula,
tons are poured forth by some over
enthusiastic friends, while others cease
to believe in the reality of an ultimate
settlement and become suspicious of the
sincerity Of your professions, and almost
personally affronted at your delay. Then
the difficulty of sustaining, with appro-
pirate effect, the character OF an engaged
man is something enormous.
Isay nothing of the difficulty which a
lady in that delicate position has to en-
counter, for We all know that they ex.
perience but little difficulty in making
themselves perpetualy agreeable-at
least before marriage but with regard
to man; think of the admirable and ex-
cusable receptions he is forced to be
guilty of-the real distaste, but professed
pleasure, with which he accompanies
"the beloved object, to the festive board
of some oppressive family friend, where,
for two mortal hours at least, he has TO
sit, the observed of all observers, next to
the idol to whom he has been paying
unceasing devotion for the greater por-
ton of the day, and to whom now he has
to make himself agreeable-having ex-
hausted every scrap of news, every con-
ceivable subject of conversation i! He is
afraid to venture upon any tender aside,
for fear he should be thought silly, or to
keep much to generalities, for fear he
should be considered slow.
I have, indeed, remarked engaged
couples who have been content to sit in
blissful silence, wrapped in contcmpla-
ton of their approaching happiness ;
but such state of quiesconce is rarely
observable, and can scarcely be preserv-
ed for an indefinite period.
One Of my earliest recollections Of such
couple is when they were sitting in
this state of tranquil calm and forming
a very limited hand-in- hand mutual as
surance company of their own their OK
example is scarcely to be quoted, as
the partnership was shortly afterward
dissolved forever, and the lady and gen,
tleman are at present thousands Of miles
apart, and each belonging to another
firm.
1t is impossible for man of business
not to sympathize with an eminent ply
stefan, who informed his future wife
that no had no time for courtship but
that if she would marry him, and be
ready on certain day, he should be
happy to meet her at the church and
make her his BRIDE Temple Bar.

The PERILs OF BALLooNlNG. Donald
son, the most daring aeronaut of modern
days, made his second ascension in Chill
licothe, a few days since. The streets
were crowded with spectators from the
adjoining country, and the ascension
was made at | 80 o'clock. In going up
the wind was so strong from the north
that it carried the balloon against the
north end of Lansing's drug store, on
Second street. The aeronaut saw what
was coming, and bracing himself to meet
the shock, throwing out his feet, which
struck the side of the house and turned
him completely over on his trapeze bar.
The balloon in going up, and before he
could recover his place, dragged him
over the chimney, knocking it at least
half off, and bruising and wouuding him
to such an extent that he was unable to
perform his usual feats. This, however,
was not the most serious part. The
bricks, in falling to the pavement, struck
man named Patrick Martin on the
head, fracturine his skull. The balloon
list made but short trip, not going out
of sight, his wounds from the contact
with the chimney became so painful that
he was compelled to decend.

WOman's Faith and Consistency.

Five years ago Ira f. Holland, n young
and energetic man, settled down in the
County of Calhoun, Michigan, near the
City OF Marshall, and applied himself to
farming. Young Holland was industri-
Gus and economical, and seemed on the
fair road to competence. if not wealth.
1t was the habit of Ira to visit n Mr.
Blngley, who resided in the City of Mar
shal, and who was one OF its wealthest
residents, and to deposit with him all
his surplus money. In this manner, af-
ter couple of years young Holland had
accumulated some $4,000, which amount
remained in the hands of Mr.. BingIey.
During the visits Holland paid to the
house Of Mr.. Bingley, he met the daugh-
ter of the latter, young and very beau
tiful girl, who was most favorably i'm
pressed with his manly bearing. Young
Holland fell deeply in love with the fair
Alice almost at the first meeting. With
every subsequent meeting his passions
increased, and after about three months
acquaintance, he received the assurance
from the maiden's lips that his passions
were returned. But his hopes were
doomed to terrible disappointment
The young couple returned home from n
delightful ramble one day. AS they en-
tered the house of Miss Bingley, they
were met by the father, who was in a
high state of excitement He ordered
young Holland from the house, placing
in his hands the amount of money left
with him, and sternly forbade further
intercourse with the fumily. On the fol,
lowing day Holland was arrested on the
charge of horse stealing, and the trial
elected sufficient proof to sentence him
to the State Penitontiary. 1t appeared
that valuable span of horses had been
stolen from the barn of Mr.. BingIey, and
had been sold in the City of Grand Rap
ids BY a man who answered exactly to
the appearance of young Holland, who
had been absent from home at the time
of the sale-on business Of his own, as
he stated it, but which, of course, was
not credited by the Court. In consider.
alton Of his excellent character before
the crime, the Court was lenient, and re-
turned a sentence of three years impris-
onment Holland was fastened away to
prison amid his protestations Of limo
cence, and without an opportunity of
speaking a word to his betrotbed. Wear
lily dragged on the months to the con-
yict, but at last his term of sentence ex-
pired, and he issued forth from the pris-
on doors bowed down and heart brok-
en- man, bis hair whitoned before its
time by the great mental anguish he had
endured. He came to Cleveland and
there met Alice Bingley. She had be-
come an orphan during the imprison-
ment of her lover, and, tired of the
scenes amid which she had suffered Sc
much, removed to Cleveland, and was
living with her mothers sister. She had
adhered, with all woman's devotedness,
to the memory of her convict lover, and
had never deemed him guilty of the
crime charged to him. The long-sepa-
rated couple were married. and immed.
lately took their way to Kansas, intend
ing to commence life together in that

A QUESTION FOR PHYsIC1ANs.-Judge
Ball, who is collecting facts for history
of Hoosick Falls, furnishes the follow
ing "In the year 1899 several cases of
smallpox occurred in the town, and
dwelling near the village of Hoosick Falls
was used as pest-house, Seventy years
afterwards the house (having been occu-
pied all that time as dwelling, with no
case cas- Of smallpox or other unusual sick,
ness) was repaired. One of the workmen
employed on the repairs was taken down
with disease which proved to be malig-
nant smallpox, to which he had not been
otherwise exposed than by working on
this old pest-house." If small-pox virus
can be retained for seventy years in the
walls, floors, ceiling or furniture of
dwelling house, greater care and more
stringent measures will be necessary to
insure protection from this loathsome
disease. Troy Press.

A Strange Discovery in Florida.

During the heavy gales which prevailed
last fall, the tide, on one occasion, was
driven so low in the North River, that a
remarkable discovery was made. About
seven miles north of st. Augustine, on
the west shore of North River, the re-
mains of an ancient city were discovered.
Several wells, walled in with coquina.
are now visible, under water but the
foundations Of the houses can be felt
with pole.
On the occasion of the discovery, a
gale had prevailed for four or five days
from the north driving the water out of
the river to an extentnGver before known.
Further investigations have also brought
to light a coquina quarry on this same
site and what is more remarkable, the
quarry is in the midst of n dense ham
mock-and which any one can see now
by taking the trouble to go there. The
rock is of quality equal to any on Anas-
tasia Island, and the quarry has been
extensively used, doubtless for the pur-
pose of building the city Or settlement of
ST. Augustine-for one or the other it
certainly was.
The question which naturally arises is,
by whom was this settlement made-by
natives of this continent or Europeans ?
All historiographers agree that Ponce de
Leon, companion of Columbus, in his
second voyage, first touched on this New
World at a point three miles north of St.
Augustine. Say they, one and all, she
found the natives fierce and implacable. "
But at this period-1512-all history is
silent, and we hear nothing more of Flori-
da or America until 1926, when Narvaez
arrived on the western or gulf coast.
Who will solve this mystery? Perhaps
it may throw light on the history of
America, hitherto concealed. For let it
be remembered that St. Augustine was
the first city settled in America.
