He Suspected Everybody.

/ Some said he was naturally suspicious
This may be partly true. But others say
that in early life some unfortunate affairs
haa an unhappy effect on his moods and
temper. If felony was committed IN his
neighborhood, and there hung mystery
over e question Of the pcrpctrator, our
hero looked wise and seemed to hint that
he Knew the man. In this way he once
came to be seriously suspected of being
IN accessory after the fact. But he was
wholly innocent.
One day he was walking down the
street and saw some men talking and
laughing. Occasionally they looked up
the street. BY the time he reached the
group his face was very red. He looked
vexcd. He supposed their laughter was
in some way at his expense. Fortunate
ly, he paused long enough to hear that
they were making merry over the saying
and doings of a political meeting Of
their own party.
One lent him book, which had been
read with care, and several passages were
marked with pencil. He supposed the
owner of the book intended to hurt his
feelings by calling special attention to
certain clauses, and yet it was a fact that
the owner did not know that there was a
pencil mark on any page.
In fact, our friend often suspects some
evil. intention in the kindest acts
of his best friends. A strange min
lister once delineated in the pit the
character of litigious man. Our friend
went home silent, if not surly, and COM
planned of personalities in the pulpit.
His lite was full of uneasiness without
cause, except as found in his undue SEN
sibility and susp1ciousness. Things said
in general way he, with a strange per-
versity. applied to- himself He trusted
few, if any. He had an astonishing facil.
ity for giving bad turn to all that was
said.
His influence was not good. His chill.
dren caught his spirit. At school they Of
ten considered themselves sligAted. Thus
family teuds were engendcred. 1twould
be slander to tsay that one could
not speak to him. But his suspicious
threw him into fits of jealousy. At times
his countenance indicated maIignity
His unhappy turn Of thoughts had made
him shy OF his pastor, stiff toward his
family physician, and awkward toward
all. Even his wife was the worse of his
evil surmisings.
Ofcourse he was unhappy-indeed mis-.
erable. The signs of his conscious wret
chedness were infallible. All this was
quite unnecessary. He was his own tor.
mentor. If he should read this paper he
would say, ''The author of that piece
misunderstood me. Why will not people
mind their own business and let Others
alone2' He has no enemy who does
him as much disservice or intiicts on him
as much pain as he brings on himself
would make many excuses for him. But
he seems to have fine health, and certain.
ly he eats as much as is good for him.

LORD LYONS has now. been twelve
years the British Ambassador in France,
at a salary Of $50 900 year, with fine
house rent free. The last four rulers of
that country have all liked him. In the
early days of the Republic he was sup
posed to have been sceptieal as to its sta
bility; he did not even take the trouble
to have new passports printed with the
words: "French Republic" When
Theirs came to dine with him there was
some little question as to the ceremony
to be observed. Lord Lyons determined,
at least in one respect, to accord royal
honors to his guest. In announcing DIM
ner, the major-domo bowed to NJ. Theirs,
and said: m. lie President de la Repub-
l,que est servi." The little old man
thereupon gave his arm to Madame
Theirs and the twain, as though they
had been Ceaser and his wife, led the
procession to the dining-room.

The Duties Of MatrimOnv.

A wise old lady writes: Better than
gold to a man is cheerful wife. But he
must do his part toward making her
cheerful. 1t is easy enough for man to
marry happy woman. But the bride
expectant, when she thought how happy
she would be, never contemplated the
picture of a husband coming home cross
as bear and going to bed without speak
ing to her; she has never thought of the
long evenings when be would not come
at all, or his bringing some one home to
dinner without warning or preparation; !;
of his awful profanity over so tritling a
matter as the gas Lill. She had no idea,
in fact, that there could be anything but
happiness in married life, and she had
determined to be happy and to distribute
often not her fault if she does not sue
ceed. Men, as rule, do not exert
themselves to secure their wives
happiness. They know that it re-
requires constant and great ct
fort to possess property and b
secure in its value in the midst Of con-
stant commercial changes. The cheerful
ness, the happy, hopeful character wich
every woman displays at the beginning
of marriage is not SO easily lost as for
tune; it requires but a small share of the
attention, and yet SO often does not get
that little share. Therefore word to the
girls in this connection is in order; be-
ware Of man that doesn't know enough
about cheerfulness to understand it's value
in daily life. Such man would improve
the first opportunity to grind cheerful
ness out of his home, to frighten a sun
beam into shadow, and then wonder
what is the matter. Such is no better
than no husband at all; and when you
want husband 60 find somebody else
somebody who will give you at least some
chance to be happy far into. the lite be-
yond the honeymoon. :.
