How to Find Out Who Any Given

How to Find Out Who Any Given
Person VIII Marry.
1t doesn't require any astrologer, or me.
''ium, or gypsy with dirty pack of cards.
1t is very simple, lies in nutshell, and can
be expressed In very few words. The
plan is this: If a girl expresses a fondness
for majestic men with large whiskers, make
up your mind she will marry very small
man with none. If she declares that mind"
is all she looks for, expect to see her stand
before the altar with very pretty fellow
who has just sense enough to tie cravat
how. If, on the contrary, she declares she
must have handsome husband, look about
ior the plainest person in the circle of her
acquaintances, and declare "that is the
man. for it will be. Men are almost as
bad. The gentleman who desires wife
with mind and mission marries lisping
baby, who screams at the sight of mouse,
and hides her face when she hears sudden
knock at the door. Aud the gentleman
who dreaded anything like strongminded-
ness e1aults in the TACT that his wife is
everything he detested. If girl says of
one, Marry him! I'd rather die !" look
upon the affair as settled, and expect cards
to the wedding of these two people. If a
man remarks of lady, mot my style, at
all" await patiently the appearance of his
name in the matrimonial column in con-
nection with that lady's And if any two
people declare themselves friends, and
nothing MORE" you may know what will
come next,

A Dying Mothers Gift.

From the New York Despatch.
A certain actor, well known and highly
popular in his day, especially in Philadel-
phia, found himself thrown out of situa-

the money was net forthcoming at certain
date he would seize his effects.
Harry P. was in terrible straight He
could neither beg, borrow nor steal the sum
required. He thought if he could only
get back to Philadelphia he could obtain
something to do, and having valuable
gold watch, he determined to pawn it.
But the landlord knew he had the watch,
and would seize it as the most valuable
article in his eyes of all the poor actor s
effects. The dreaded moment came when
Harry was about to leave.
He was alone with the obdurate landlord
who "hated player folks anyhow"
In vain Harry begged that he would
leave him few of his tools to get work
with. The man packed, them up himself

large old-looking pincushion.
Harry sprang forwrrd, and with tears in
his eyes, said:
