When Mary and ! were married we
were very young and foolish. l had
nothing to be married with, nothing but
a brave heart, strong heart, and my
love for Many.
We rented room and went to house

furniture, table, bedstead, and a few
dishess but through inexperience our
money gave out before the necessity Of
chairs entered our minds. Here was

quite agreed with me, like dutiful little
wife, and Iaughingly said, We must
turn down the tubs dear" 1t was not
long, however, before a kind neighbor,
calling and noticing our lack Of chairs,
from her peroh-upon tub, offered US a
half dozen chairs she had no other use
for.
They were old ones to be sure, but
they answered just as well for us. New

Years passed away since hen, and

has turned, and my kind neighbor and
myself have changed places She has
become poor, childless widow, but
through her many acts of neighborly
kindness she has endeared herself to Us,
and never can forget those old chairs,
Ali the secret Is out at last. 1t was
those "old chairs" that had supported
Mrs. S. so long. She had been living on
the interest Of friendly act done years
before, thus carrying out the divine com
maniment to Love thy neighbor as
thy self"

Why Young Ladies Dress Extravi-
gantly.

Going down town recently, we chanc
ed to walk short distance behind. two
stylish young gentlemen and overheard
one say TO the other, well tret her oct
this evening and let's see her rags, and
then III tell you what l think of her"
Elegant language from young gentle
men who consider themselves respecta-
Bile; and complimentary to young ladies
who think themselves respectable,
These same young men no doubt be-
long to that class 5Sbo cannot afford to
marry because tire girls are so extrava-
CANT they viii dress in the fashion, and
that costs more than the majority Of
young men can afford. But whose fault
is it that they spend ali their time train
ing and lrizzing? If one of them thought
best to wearsiass years hat or mantle,
would she 90 to an opera. concert or par
ty ? Not once in the season, and she
knows it.
Every once in a while we read very
entertaining article on the characteristics
of the young ladies' Of different cities,
ali as true as fiction, Of course, and, we
remember of reading once such an arti-
Gle, in which an editor. since notorious
in other cities, paid this following high
compliment to Kansas City girls:
"They do not aGect any particular
style of young men, hut judge all by
their brains and possibilities"
We fear that it might be said with
more truth, of the young men of all
cities how adays, that they do affect a
particular style of young ladies, and judge
all by their dress and its probable cost.
To be sure the young man has a con-
science and heart, which may twinge
a little, while he escorts the most hand
sOmely attired yoang lady on the street,
if there CHANGED to be somewh here else q
little maiden whom he expects some day
to SOW on his buttons, and whose papa is
not worth S5G,OO0i but then he mus t
have his amusement, and it would be
anything but pleasure for him to gallant
young lady who was not jast in style.
Don't blame the girls too much for
their extravaganza and waste of time,
until you look about and see whose fault
it IS.
We quote from the news the forego-
ing, commencing it to the attention of
young men and women, fathers and
mothers, and all laying any ella IN to
sense and reflection for dressing beyond
their means is one f the many evils
now so seriously affecting the people in
country towns, and cities, crying loudly
for reform and contraction. If the young
men dress foe and costly, it is to please
the ladies'; and if the ladies dress extrav-
| igantlY,,, it is but to please the gentle
men. Let both take a sensible, reasona-
BILE view of the subject, dress with refer
ence to taste and circumstances, not
aping or following those who, OUTLYING
tn cir income, dress extEayigaEuy for the
sake of display. Our people need taking
care upon this subject; and tha quicker
they bestow more sense and reflection
on it the better for all concerned.

One of the most interesting things in
the Holy Land is the fact that one meets
every where in daily life the things that
illustrates the ways of the Lord. The
streets of Jerusalem are very narrow,
and no one is allowed to go out at night
without light. Throw open your lattice
in the evening and look out, and you viii
see what seem to be little stars twinkling
on the pavement. You viii hear the
clatter of sandals as the late traveller rat
ties along. AS the party approaches,
you will see that he has little lamp fas-
tened to his foot, to make his step safe
one. In an instant the voice comes to
your memory, written in that same city
three thousand years ago, "Thy word is
a lamp to my teet, and light to my
path"

into his mouth while be franticaliy tried

excitement as the moment for pledging
hisftFoth came more and more awfuIly
near, he opened his mouth for gasp or
a sigh, and 10 the ring slipped down his
thro4t as if by magic. For one brief
moment his face assumed a hue so ap-
palGngly suggestive Of apoplexy that his
bride tainted After a desperate strug
Gle the ring went down instead of com

abrupt stop. Another ring was event

was tied.
