An Index to Marriage.

1t don't require an astrologer, a medium

is very simple-lies in nutshell, and can
be expressed in a few words. They are
these: The last person you would natur-
ally think of.
If a girl expresses fondness for ma
iestic men with large whiskers, make up
your mind that she will marry very small
man with none. If she declares that
smind" is all she looks for, expect to see
her stand before the altar with a pretty fell
low who has just sense enough to tie a
cravat bow. If on the contrary, she de-
clares she must have handsome husband,
look about you for the plainest person in
her circle of acquaintance, and declare
| that is the man." for it will be.
Men are almost as bad. The gentleman
who desires wife with mind and mis-
sion, marries lisping baby who screams
at the sight of mouse, and hides her face
when she hears sudden knock at the
door. And the gentleman who dreaded
anything like strong -mindedness, exults in
the fact that his wife is exactly everything
he declared he detested.
If a girl says of one, Marry him I'd
rather de-" look upon the affair as settled.
and expect cards to the wedding of those
two people.
If man remarks of lady, mot my
style at all % await patiently the appear
ance of his name in the matrimonial column
in connection with that very lady's.
An diff any twopeople declare themselves
g friends and nothing MORE" you may
know what will come next.
There is no hypocrisy in all this. and such
matches are invariably the happiest. Peo-
Pile do not know themselves, and make
great mistakes about their intentions. Love
is terribly perplexing when he first begins
| to upset ones theories, and when his ar
row first pierces the heart there is such a
| fiuttering there that it is hard to guess the
cause. Besides, man proposes and God
disposes. and it is the 81 don't know
what" with. which people fall in love, and
not those peculiarites which could be given
in a passport.
| IT WAS AN ANCIENT CUSTOM of the
Spartans, in order to inculcate among their
youth an adherence of intemperance and
| its kindred vices, to make their slaves
drunk with wine in the public market
places, SO that the rising generation, upon
whom would some day devolve the honor
and safety of the Lacedemonian Republic,
might see before them all the CHASTITY de-
tails of the drunkard's disgrace, his loss OF
reason, and of physical strength. 'Twere
well, perhaps, to-day, could some of our
young men contemplate a similar instruct
i've lesson drawn from the life, showing
them, by a sharply drawn contrast, the adj
vantages and true loneliness of abstinence
and virtue.
! For such as appreciate these, VINEGAR
BTTTERs is the beverage best adapted, it

of alcohol or mineral poisons, and posses

The InYalid-A Pen Picture.

See her pallid countenance, but short time
ago the picture of rudy health, the envy of
the school and the pride of the household.
She was always welcomed by her school
mates, for her 1.-THE form and pleasing dispo-
sition carried cheerfulness into Their ranks.
Diligent, punctual and exemplary, obedient
and graceful at home, she won the hearts of
all. But, alas, we are sorrowed. Those rosy
cheeks and rudy lips are blanehed by Con-
sumption. The voice once so enchanting in
laugh and song is feeble, husky and supplant-
ed by hollow cough. Let us approach her
couch gently and take her hand. Do not
shudder because of the feeble and passionless
grasp. The hand once so hearty and plump
is emaciated and shows bony outlines, while
the cords and tortuous veins are plainly
mapped upon the surface. The pulse that
bounded with repletion, carrying Yigor to the
whole system, and impartiDg life, beauty, vi
vacity, health and strength, is delicate to the
touch. The feeble heart cannot propel the
thin, scanty blood with force. Must we lose
her while yet in her teens? Companions and
friends gather around with words of cheer
and consolation, and depart with moistened
eyes and silent steps. Must we lose her?
No! there is relief We can stay this de-
stroyer of our happiness and not suffer the
loss of so bright gem. Something more is
required now than dietary and hygienic OBJ
servanee, for nature calls for aid and she shall
have it. Take this pleasant medicine. 1t is
invigorating. How it allays the irritable
cough, improves the appetite and digestion
and sends a healthy Jingle through the frame.
The blood is enriched, nervous force increas-
ed, and the heart bounds with new impulse.
See her face brighten by degrees; the color is
returning, her voice is getting clearer, and
pleasant words are spoken. The strength
falters yet, but is gaining. Let us take her
out in the warm sunshine. In q short time
she will be able to go without our aid, cheer
full girl This delightful medicine must be
God-blessed. 1t is restoring health to our
loved one. She is emerging from her sick
ness sweeter and nobler than before, and DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery must have
the credit. 1t has raised her.

Uncle Billy's Catfish Aquarium.

The little town of Pennington on Pearl

of the Poitevant Mills is situated there, and
consequently the place is well peopled with
negro laborers.
Old ssUncle Billy" venerable old
darkey with side whiskers, has cabin
built near the river bank, and was among
the first inundated. He was accosted on
the street the next morning after the rise

Domestic Nurture.

1t is the opinion of great many people
that the education of son or daughter
cannot be finished properly until he or
she is sent away from home to school.
Now, while we believe that very many
Neutrality-suspicious. are excellent, and doing
great work for the young, we are sure
that no possible boarding-school can be
so good for youth or a maiden to sim
ish'' in as a pure, refined, intelligent, and
happy home. ssGetting weaned" from
home is very bad thing for man, woman,
or child. Though sometimes it does seem
imperative to send children to boarding
schools, and perhaps is so where parents
are incapable of directing and supervising
a child's education, yet i'm very many in
stances as much really valuable in the
at home as away from home. A little
smattering of French, q turn through the
"ologies," glance at mathematics, and a
superficial study of music, are what the
majority of girls get at d boarding school.
Meantime they learn so many follies and
vanities, and so much that their mothers
would never have them know! For
years we have believed that if parents
could balance the good and the bad re-
ceived at neutrality-suspicious., far more chill
dren would be educated at home than are
at present.
Every day a boys associations need
looking after, his habits need forming, his
morals toning, and the harmony between
the Intellectual, the spiritual, and the
physical requires daily attention. The
same is true of girls. What we want of
our boys and girls is not to be scholars

we wish all interbIended and forming a
well-developed and perfectly-rounded hui

DON'T TAMPER WITH CoUGH.-Perhaps
in the whole category of diseases to which hu
mainly is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in in its early stage. A simple cough is
generally regarded as temporary affection
unpleasant and nothing more; but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, it is the
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases-C Consumption. A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure as the
