Reading, with many people, is only another
name for idleness. They take book up for
mere amusement, and they seldom choose
one which taxes their attention by its style
or its matter. Many intelligent men and
women never buy a book except at the holi-
days, as a gift to somebody, and they regard
money spent in the purchase of literature as
money thrown away. They do not hesitate,
if they are gentlemen, to buy cigars, or
pounds of candy for the children, or half-a-
dozen newspapers day, when one contains
all the news, but when they see, book
marked two dollars, or three dollars, or five

To the Editor OF the Standard:

brides and groom's mothers prepared the mO--
ming meal In the presence OF n few friends,
none OF whom now live except Andrew and
jacob Ewing.
They took for their wedding tour on that day
a horseback ride 10 GIlbol Chapel, a distance Of
ten miles. Returning home they at once enter
ell upon life's earnest duties, and they are few
who have bes more faithful snd earnest.
Along with the pleasures, came also the vi
cissitudes of life, which they nobly endured.
To them were born ave children-four sons
and one daughter. The daughter died In infan-
cy, two sons In the prime OF life, and two yet
survive, DIR. @. A. Ewing of Ewington, and f.
E. Ewing Of Portsmouth. All OF them honor
their parental home.
This occasion was a very pleasant surprise to
the old fol ks. 1t brought old friends again to-
gether, who had enjoyed each others society
in years gone by.
The Iecolections OF events in early life were
much thought OF, and pleasant TO talk about

of course To tile particular style Of the cut.
The barber was a Western artist, having late

After clipping away for some time ne con-
cluded that perhaps the hair wasn't running
down his customers neck as fast as that indi-
viduai might desire it-althOugh for the life Of
him he couldn't see why he should want IL 10
run down at all-and, when a quantity had ac-
cumulated inside his shirt-coliar, the accom-
modating barber showed IL down and out OF
sight with the handle of his brush.
This performance WIS repeated two or lhree
times, and the customer began TO realize what
was going on. Hrnceforward he took hVely
Interest IN the proceedings. He said:

and then, turning a double SOmersault out OF
