There WAS much more than
mere witicism in the remark of an
old bachelor who had paid atten-
ton to a maiden lady twenty
years, visiting her regularly every
night, when rallied for not marry
ing: II I were married, I should
have nobody to court, and no place
to go at night He had deeply
felt the contrast between his own
delicate and ETHEREAL enjoyment and
the hard discontented, fretted life
of too many married people, and
his answer was irony. He saw
there was something in courtship
which too often exhales and expires
after marriage, leaving cold, duh,
monotonous burden, where oil was
beauty and buoyancy before. Letus
see what that something is. In
courtship nothing is taken for
granted. Both parties are put on
their good behavior. Love keeps
itself fresh and active by constant
expression in word and act. But
strange to say, the conrtship un-
usually ends in marriage Very
soon the parties yield to the sense
of possession, and the feeling of
security robs gallantry of motive,
and extracts the poetry from the
mind. The beautiful attentions
which were so pleasing before mar,
riage are two often forgotten after
ward, the gifts cease, or come only
with the asking; the music dies
out of the voice; everything is tax
en- for granted and the love that,
like the silver jet of the fountain
leaped to heaven, denied the natur-
al outlet, ceases to flow altogether
Then comes dull heavy, hard days
with two unhappy ones tied together
wishing themselves apart; and not
always content with merely.wishing.
This is unnatural and wrong. What
married life wants to give is new
tone and sweetness and more of the
manner as well as the spirit of the
counting time. Very much of the
pleasures of the courtship comes
from the constant attentions of the
parties to each other. Their af-
fection voices itself in all possible
ways. Every sentence is edged
with compliment and spoken in
tender tones Every look is new
! word in the nexhaustable vocabu-
larry of love. Kiss and caress are
parenthetic classes and gestures in
the dialect of love, and gifts and
sacrifices are the more emphatic ex-
pressions of the spirit no language
can fully articulate and devotion
declare. And it is the fact that af-
fection confesses itself continually
lin look and word ana act, making
the voice musical and the fingers
poetic in their touch. and doing,
that makes the experience so beau
tiful, the only Eden women has on
earth. Love must have expression
or it will die. It can be kept for
ever beautiful and blessed as at the
first, by giving it constant utter
ence in word and act. The more it
is allowed to flow out in delicate at
tentions and noble service, the
stronger and more satisfying and
more blessed it will be. The house
becomes home only when love drops
| its heavenly mamma in it every day,
and the true marriage vow is made
not once for all at the altar but by
loving words and helpful service
and delicate attentions to the end.

Age.

Our Common School system.
How TO INCREASE IT'S EFF1cIENcY-
NECESSITY OF LIBERAL AnTION-LET-
TER FROM SUPERINTENDENT HOPKINS.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION,
January Ia, 1873.
To the General Assembly of the
State of Indiana:
In advance of my regular biennial
report, permit me to place you in
possession of the following facts,
taken from the files of this Office:
The amount of theschool
revenue from State tax
for 1872 is. 81, ,O7O,301 50
Interest of Common
School Fund held in
trust by the counties, 16O,S4O 10
Interest on State Bonds, 223, TAO SO
Interest on Congressional
Township Fund. 146,9 $50 21
Revenue from liquor Ii
cences. ..............1 los, $3.50 90
Revenue from unclaimed
IeeS,. 0uu w
Revenue from local tut
ton tax, All, 97S 81
Total; $2,122621 81
This entire sum has been expend-
ed for tuition in our common schools
during the past year, and has in
creased the average length of their
terms to five and eight-tenths
months.
Many of our schools continue
their sessions eight or nine months,
quite number of them have four,
five or six months, and few of them
not progressed beyond 3 months
An increase in the average duration
of these terms is the one thing
needful. How shall this be done9
I greatly desire that this question
arrest the attention of the repre-
sentatives of the people; for all
other questions connected with our
common schools are insignificant in
point of importance compared with
this.
This object can be accomplished,
to certain degree, by any one of
the following means, or by all com
bined:
l. By fair and equitable valua-
ton of property. It is thought
that the school revenue of the State
will be augmented considerably by
the act just passed at the extra ses-
sion providing for a uniform as
sessment cf property" etc.
2 By requiring the trustees to
| levy o local tuition tax, which, com
bined with their ordinary revenues,
will increase the school terms to
six months.
8. By an increase in the rate of
State tax. It costs the State $21,-
430 SO per day to educate her child
rem. An additional tax of one cent
on each 500 worth of property to
the 16 cents already authorized by
law would increase the average
school term three days; two cents,
six days and in the same ratio four
cents, making the State tax 80 cents,
would prolong our schools twelve
days. May I not appeal to the re
presentatives of the wealthier coun-
ties to give another demonstration
of their iberality, generosity and
patriotism, by increasing this tax to
80 cents on each one hundred dol
larsi This being done the Legis-

ordered him to leave Switzerland,
the publication of a favorable ac-
count of the attempt on Strasbourg
being considered evidence of an in
tended outbreak from Ahrenenberg.
The Swiss Government sustained
him, but to prevent the risk of a
second CONTINENT in prison he
quietly departed, taking refuge in
England, where his next attempt to
gain the throne was planned. On
the 9th of August, 1910, he landed
near Boulougne with party of
twenty-five including Volson and
Montholon, and found butts a single
man in the entire Garrison ready
to enlist under his banner. It was
here he was captured and in Octo-
ber he was placed upon trial before
16O of the Peers of France. AL
though ably defended by III. Berr-
yer, the great advocate, he was SEN
fenced to perpetual imprisonment
and was confined in the catidel of
Ham. On the 25th of May, 1916,
after 40 years of confinement, he
disguised himself and escaped into
Belgium, and thence into England,
where he resided until the down
fall of Louis Philippe in 1848. He
atonce figured for a seat in the
National Assembly, obtained it, and
was soon after elected Prince Pres
ident by an overwhelming vote For
nearly three years he disguised his
ambitious designs, and held France
in a more prosperous condition than
she had known for years. He pre-
tended the most ardent love for re-
publican principles while surround
ing himself with these who retained
q respect for the first Napoleonic
dynasty. On December 2, 1851, a
crisis came, and he boldly proclaim.
ed himself Dictator, at the same
time offering himself as q candi-
date for the Presidency for the
term of ten years. Safe from oppo-
sition by the imprisonment Of scores

The New York Erening Post falls into
very singular blunder in regard to tho Chief
Justiceship. Referring to the mention OF the
names Of Senator Conkllng and Senator
Howe In connection with the appointment Ii
holds that both these gentlemen are ineli-
yible under the sixth section Of the first
article of tho Constitution, which declares
that ''no Senator or Representative shall,
during the time for which he was elected, be
appointed to any civil office under the
authority of the United States which shall
have been created, or the emoluments
whereof shall have been increased, during
such time" The Post adds: Among thu
salaries raised by the last Congress was thai
fore, is precluded from appointing to tina,
Office any member Of the United States Sen
ate who belonged to that body at the las
| session." 1t Is just here that tho blunder o
the Post occurs. Mr.. Conkling and Mr.
Howe were, 1t Is true, members Of the las
session of Congress, and, II we mistake not
voted for the increase but they do not CONT
within the constitutional provision referred
to, inasmuch as "thc time for which the.
were elected" expired the Sd of las
March. So that the hope of our cotempO
rary THAT only the Senators themselves whC
have voluntarily put judscship on the su
preme bench beyond their reach will har
reason to regret ii" is likely to be disap
pointed. Mr.. Coukling or Mr.. Howe may o
may not DO appointed; but that they are in
eligible for tho reason alleged is not correc

THE DEATH AND DEFALCATIoS Of Mills,
the president of the Brooklyn Trust Com
pany, has suggested discussion OF thc best

Two wrongs do not, to be sure, make right,
but the pccuniary virtue of the times Is &c
easy that Mr.. Mills doubtless saw nothing
wrong in using the money entrusted to
his keeping. In the pride OF In

bers him all over with praise as having ut
