Second only to her is she who has ha,
8 the courage to remain single because tn
t right man never came, for am of thos
who believe that fio woman is ever singh
for her life time for lack of the opportunit,
to marry ut some time in her lite; ant
whenever meet an ''old maid" am read,
to do her honor for living up to the prin
ciple. 1.-The best or none.''
Said little girl, who had lust said hel
''seven times one'' to me, ..4Auntie. wha

There, dear girls, is your motto for f5ur

1.-The best or nOne!'
And what constitutes ssthe best?' First,
and always, the healthiest. And who is
the healthiest? First and always, the most
temperate. ard temperance, remetiiber,
means self-Dntrol. The young man who
smokes has lost his selfcontrol His ap-
petite has run away with him, and it will
carry him to other forms OF intempcrance
just as surely as night follows day. Be-
ware Of him.
Temperance is personal cleanliness, is
modesty. is quietness, is reverence for ones
elders and betters. is defence for ones
mother and sisters. is gentleness, is cour-
age, is Withholding from a'ight which
leads to excess in daily living, is IT,. eating
and drinking only OF that which will in
sure the best body which the best soul is
to inhabit-nay, temperance is all these
and more.
l know man and woman who took a
sudden fancy tor each Ether upon their
first meeting. They were both old enough
TO know better, but they rushed into matli-
mony like two idiots, on a six-weeks' ac-
q'intance. OF course they were terribly
disappointed in each other, and have been
punished for their folly. They had never
heard of each other till they met; they
knew nothing Of Each others personal hab-
its, likes and dislikes, capiitts or princi-
pies or lack of principles:
The man is eleven years older than the |
woman. and is one OF those who ..enjoy
poor health' to such an extent that they |
follow up every new disease until they
know and experience all its symptoms. 1t
one time he had five different doctors pre-
scribing for him, while he was attending
to his daily occupation. He would take
by the wholesale, but was averse
to taking bath. He counted his pulses
at every odd chance during the day, and
looked at his tongue with corresponding
devotion. He believed that night air is Il
deadly poison, and that human beings
should shut themselves indoors at sunset
al the year around, close all the doors and
and keep them closed till SUM-
Use. The woman Mas 10 Years Of age at
he time they met: She had never Known
about poor health," and was
luite unprepared to unite with this man in
Enjoying it. She had always been accus-
omed to her daily bath, and regarded cv-
'ry one as intolerably filthy who did not
ollow her example, for she was of very
intense nature, and what she believed she
believed with an overpowering force which
olerated no dissent on the part of her inn
Mediate associates. In short, she was
omething in temperament like what is
implied by the term ''bottled lightning
Their domestic life was very ifiuch like
hat of the cats of Kilkenney, as you may
veil oppose. She stormed and took her
'aths, and opened the windows. He cried,
ook no baths, shut The windows and call
d the doctors.
There is no law of mans enchantment I

Remember that the marriage contract =
inds you for life to one who is to be to .
