instead of champagne, drinks whiskey
or beer, and practicing strict economy
in various ways, considers himself "a

wonders why he doesn't live as well on
the same money as before marriage, and
concludes it must be Angelina's fault
she ''don't manage right" The baby
cries, as babies have a chronic habit OF
doing, and, like most men he don't like
it; so he gets into the habit of dropping
in to see Miss Smith, who was "sweet'
on him before be married Angelina.
She still rejoices in founces, sashes,
false hair and powder, and he finds it
pleasanter than spending the evening
home with the pale wife who hasn't had
time, or thinks she hasn't to change her
rather soiled wrapper for more festive
dress. Angelina objects, and is foolish

SOMETHING TO SET Us THINKING
Ninety years hence not single man or
woman, now twenty years of age, will
be alive. Ninety years! Alas! how
many of the lively actors at present on
the stage of lite will make their exit
long ere ninety years shall have rolled
away! And could we be sure of ninety
years, what are they? "A tale that is
told;' dream; an empty sound, that
passeth on the wings of the wind away,
and is forgotten. Years shorten as
man advances in age. Like the degrees
in longitude, mans life declines as he
travels toward the frozen pole, until it
dwindles to a point and vanishes forev-
er. Is it possible that life is of SO short
Duration? Viii ninety years erase all
the golden names over the doors in
town and country, and substitute others
in their stead? VIII all the new,
blooming beauties fade and disappear,
all the pride and passion, the love, hope
and Joy pass away in ninety years and
be forgotten Ninety years. says
Death; do YOU think | shall wait nine
ty years. Behold, today and tomorrow,
and every day are mine. When ninety
years are past, this generation will
have mingled with the dust and be re-
membered notl

BREAKING DowN-Men often have
their hands full, are oyercrowded with
business and drive hurriedly along at it,
but they may not be overworked. We
cannot always tell when we are over
worked. A man does not always know
it himself, no more than he knows the
strain on the main spring of his watch
that will break it. But there comes a
time when it breaks-a click, snap,
and the watch stops Men break down
in this way. They go on, day after
day, the pressure bearing harder each
successive day, until the vital force
gives out, and the machine stops. 1t is
a great pity that the indications of this
state of things cannot be seen before
hand, and if seen, regarded. 1t is one
of the last things that men will admit
to themselves, much less TO others.
They fatter themselves that it is only
a little WEAKNESS of the flesh, which
will pass off with few hours rest, when,
in fact, every nerve, power and resource
are exhausted, and the system is driven
by sheer force of the will. When the
oil on the shaft or iE the oil-box is ex-
hausled, every revolution of the wheel
wears on the revolving part, and will
soon ruin it. The same is true Of the
human body, for when it is overtaxed.
every effort wears to destroy it.

CONSERVATION OF A BELL-On Sun
day morning last, the new bell lately
placed upon the Reformed Church was
soiemnly consecrated to the service of
the Triune God. The novelty of the
occasion attacted very large audience,
who were amply repaid by the exceed
ingly able sermon delivered by Rev. ].
o. Miller of York, Pa. DIR. Miller was
pastor OF this church twenty-five years
ago, and is consequently conversant
with its history, of which he gave an
interesting account. He did not hesi-
tate to denounce the action of the Fed
eral troops who desecrated the church
building during the war as vandalism
of the meanest kind Uinchesfer Times.

traTdgence.-JN. LOUIS 4 UIeS.
The New JERSEY HoERoR.-Ths
Double Child Wurder.-A 'coroner's in
quest was held at Hackettstown, New
Jersey, on Monday, on the bodies of
the two children who were murdered
by their father, John Ritter, painter,
on Saturday last. The testimony devel-
oped the fact that Ritter had been out
of employment for some time past, ow-
ING to the dull times, and had been
drinking so heavily of late that his
brain become crazed. For years past,
it seems, ne and his wife have not lived
happily together, in consequence of his
vidious disposition, rendered worse by
excessive drink Until recently they
had been living separate, but not long
since they come TO an understanding,
and once more joined their fortunes.
They had scarcely well settled down,
however, when Ritter took to his old
WAYS. and led most dissipated life.
The family lived in a house or the out
skirts of the town. On Saturday
morning, while still oppressed with the
effects of violent spree, Ritter had a
fierce quarrel with his wife, which end,
ed in her abruptly leaving the house:
She had not gone far when she heard
two pistol shots. Losing all fear for
herself she returned toward the house,
and then terrible sight met her eyse.
Her two sons, bright boys, aged re-
spectively four aud seven years, lay
weltering in their blood. The brutal
father had deliberately shot both.
While the distracted mother gazed on
the PROSTATE forms of her darlings Rit
ter leveled his revolver at her, and fired,
but luckily missed his aim and then the
woman fled. Ritter next shot himself
in the head, but his attempt proved un-
successful. His wound is serious, but
not dangerous One of the boys died
instantly, and the other fingered till
evening, in great pain. The tragedy
created the widest excitement in the
country around, and but for the fact
that the murderer had been arrested
and was in the custody of the author-
ties he would possibly have been lynch
ed. After hearing the evidence the
jury, being out for oelberation only
short time, returned with verdict
charging Ritter with being guilty of
wilful murder lie has been lodged
in Jail.
