Matrimonial Advertisements and
Social Ruin.

"With view to matrimony." These
words are the ending Of q good many
advertisements - principally under
the head of "personals'-in the New
York papers and there are quite
enough evil results therefrom to justi-
fly q legal enactment for their sup
preston. To advertise for q hus-
band or wife may seem to be quite %
legitimate as to advertise for . man.
servant or woman servant, and
there would be less trouble il the
world was honest and wise, but there
is the hitch. Some young people in
dulge in this advertising, and the
correspondence which likely follows
it, for amusement, and some are sim.
pie enough to find . romantic ele-
ment in it, and are led to their own
ruin. Instances have been known
where girls had married men who
already had wives and families. But
a few days ago the story was told OF
q young lady with q plausible but
flashy young man, with whom she
had had a correspondence, brought
about in this way. He turned out to
be gambler, and in q few weeks she
was forced to return to her father q
house. Another story is told Of a
widow who was thus woed by ''ho-
tel proprietor She went some hun
dreds of miles only to find that her
Adonis was a waiter. Advertising is
q glorious institution, but it 10 quite
as liable to abuse as any other e,c-
ark Advertiser.

EDITOR TIMEs-In your last issue
noticed an article written by . selfish
man, that presented one side Of the
picture, but not one glimpse Of the
other side, and this picture certainly
has two sides. With you permission,
l will try and give your readers q
look at the other side.
To commence with, farmers leav-
ing their wagons, plows, harrows,
reapers, and all other farming uten-
sils, right where they unhitched from
them, till the rain and sun have de-
stroyed the wood and rusted out the
iron and steel. Leaving . loose
board on his fence, or buildings, with
out the necessary attention, till it is
entirely of, then leave it lying till il
is split to pieces; and when they see
rail that has got of from the fence,
pass it by, either in too much Of .
hurry, or else too shiftless to stop
and replace it, till some of his stock,
in reaching over, knock off two or
three more, then jump over and take
all the rest of the drove into some
crop. Putting of sowing grass seed
till the hot, dry weather comes on be-
fore it has got root enough to with
stand the drought, and ell dies.
Leaving farm implements that need
repairing till they have to be used,
then stop all work and 60 to get them
repaired. Going off three or four
miles to get little jobs of repairing
done, that with few tools and . lit
tie perseverance, could be done in
half the time at home, Running in
debt, and paying ten or fifteen per
cent. interest, and last, but not least,
making home SO unhappy place that
the boys seek any other place of
amusement rather than home.

Death has recently removed fro,

Death has recently removed from
earth one of the most monstrous
criminals that the United States has
ever produced. On Thursday last,
in the Connecticut state prison, died
Mrs. Lydia Sherman known as the
"American Borgia'), aged 53 years,
the confessed murderer of three hus-
bands and seven children. The story
of her crimes has been told and re-
told through the press, and need on
ly to be recalled to send a thrill of
wonder and horror through every
innocent soul. AT the time of her
death she was serving out life SEN
tence for the murder of her third
husband by poisoning, and for six
yearspast the jailand prison have been
her home. For many months she had
been an invalid, owing to a chronic
affection of the liver.

In an exchange an old business man
corrects the prevalent impression that
the present depression is the longest
ever experienced, and also that it is
caused by the contraction of the cur
rency. After the crash of 1887 real
estate in all cities not only fell to ru-
inous rates, but dullness was not full
ly recovered from or, indeed, was
there substantial relief until about
1858.

THE FRENCH WORKMEN.
How They Put in Their Time and
Do Their Work.

Did you ever watch q party Of
French workmen? The day. begins
for them nominally at 6 o'clock, which
is earlier, 1 must admit, than my own
observation of them begins. An
early-rising friend describes them as
usually arriving on the scene from
8 to half-past. The first thing they
DO is to sit down on some convenient
stone or bench, and have q talk
Pipes come out, and are leisurely
lighted, and tobacco is q great pro-
moter of conversation. Presently ar
rives comrade with a newspaper,
which he unfolds and reads aloud,
the performance being much enlivcn-
ed and protracted by continual COM
ment, and followed by a general dis
cussion by the company. All this
may last an hour, at the end Of which
coats are laid aside and the blouse
put on, and good stroke of work is
done till breakfast. 1t 10 the late
French breakfast which is response
BILE for q good part Of their david
ling. Mr.. Petit thinks this custom
has put back work in the American
section more than any other cause.
Breakfast is q solemnity with all clas-
SEES; with the laboring man hardly
less than with his betters, if betters
we have. Perhaps he goes to . cafe
for 1t ; perhaps it comes out of hand
kerchief and is eaten on the thumb !;
in either case the ceremony is begun
and carried on and concluded with
every circumstance of leisurely de-
liberation There is at least as much
talk as eating, for the Frenchm8n IL
temperate in diet and in drink, and
takes an hour to dispose of meal
which an Englishman would dis
patch in five minutes; asking for
more as soon as it was devoured.
Then another pipe and more talk !;
then stroll back to work; then .
discussion how it should be done, in
which all men employed in the vicin-
ity politely take part. You may see

opinion will probably be worth hear
ing. The mason will probably re-
quite the obligation by hints to his
friend the painter, and so on. This
is brotherly, and perhaps the work is
we'll done in the end, but when it is
question Of speed, the Frenchman il
all overheard.
