the Prime orLire.

Between the age of forty-fve and sixty
man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered in the prime OF life. His
matured strength of constitution renders
him almost impervious to an attack of dis.
ease. and experience has given soundness to
his Judgment. HIS mind is rcsolute, firm
and equal; he assumes mastery over his
business; builds up competence on the
found ition be mas laid in early manhood,
and passes through period of life attended
by many qualifications. Having gone year
or two over sixty he arrives ct stand
still. But athwart this Is the viaduct called
the turn of life, which, if crossed in safety
leads to the valley OF ''old age" round
which the river winds. and then beyond
without boat or causewsy to effect his pass
age. The bridge is. however, constructed of
fragile material, und it depends how il is
trodden whether it bend or break. Govt and
apoplexy are also in the vicinity TO waylay
the traveller, and thrus. him from the pass !:
but let him grid up his loins and provide
himself with filter staff. and he may
trudge on in safety and perfect composure.
To quiet metaphor, ''the turn OF life'' is a
turn either into prolonged walk or into a
grave. The system and powers having
reached the utmost expansion now begin
either to close like flower at sunset or
break down at once. ODe injndicious slim
ulant, a single fatal excitement, may force
it beyond its strength. while careful supply
of props and the withdrawal of all that tends
to force a plsnt Will sustain il in beauty
and yigor until night has entirely set in.

Selecting Husbands.
New York Correspondence of Philadelphia
Press

ii'dAthhbiS Lively csttuEUay.l
1t has been profoundly remarked that the
true way of telling ioadstool from mush-
room is to eat it. II You die it was toad
stool, If you live il was mushroom. a sim
liar method is employed in the selection of
husbands; marry him: If he kills you he was
bad husband; il he makes you happy be is
agood one. There is really no other criterion
As DR.. Johnson remarked, the proof of
pudding is in the eating thereof. Some
young men that seem exceptionabie indeed
very desirable, when they are single, are per-
fectly horrid rs soon as they get married.
All the latent brute there is in the heart
comes out ms soon as sensitive and delicate
being seeks her happiness in his companion
ship. The honeymoon lasts very short
time, the receptions and the rounds of par
ties are soon over, and then the two sit
down TO make home happy. II she has mar

take his ha. and go down to the club and see
the boys, and perhaps not come home till
morning. II she has married a man en-
crossed in business he will be tagged out
when be comes home. He may be a sickly
man that she must nurse, and a morose man
that she must seek to cheer, a drunken man
that she must sit up Tor, violent man that
she fears, q fool whom she soon learns to de-
spise, vulgar man for whom she must
apologiZe-in short, there are thousands Of
ways OF OelnS DAD nusoanuS, enu very lew
ways of being good ones. And the worst Of
it is that the poor silly women are apt to ad-
mire in single men the very traits that make
| bad husbands, and look with contempt or
ridicule on those quiet virtues which make
home happy. Men with very little personal
beauty or style often make the wife happy
and sometimes quite the reverse. The num-
Der of ways of being a bad husband Is al
most as great as the number of ways of being
ugly. No one can tell from the demeanor OF
single man what sort of husband be will
be. Meantime she must marry somebody.
Eat it; if you die 1t was q sort of toadstool il
! you live IL was q sort of mushroom.

Electric WARNINGS for 81 Flood.
Philadelphia Ledger.

The use of electricity is foresbadowed in
experiments made by the French minister
of pubic works, with an apparatus for snto-
maticslly giving warning at lower river
levels of an approaching food. The move
ments of q float ascending or descending
with variations in the level OF the river are
Transmitted to needles on graduated scales
at places lower down the stream. When
the water rises high enough to endanger
buildings, ETC., on the lower levels the
pointer marks danger and bells are rung
in the houses and manufactures on the
bank. Our signal service does a similar
work mot automatically, however, nor as
instantly by means of Its observers and
through the telegraph and its published
bulletin, and doubtless saves considerable
property. thereby; but the time saved by an
automatic apparatus, such as described,
ought to be of great value to residents on
the banks of streams subject to sudden and
disastrous food.

hearts EASE.
BY MARY E. BRADLEY.

or all the bonny buds that blow
In bright OF cloudy weather;
OF all the flowers that come and go
The whole twelve months together,
This little purple pansy brings
Thoughts OF tue sweetest, saddest Things.
I had q little lover once,
Who used to give me posieS:
His eyes were blue as hyacinins,
His lips were red as roses;
And every body loved To praise
His pretty looks and winsome ways
The that went to school with me
lite jealous speeches
he brought Inc Loyalty
his iggeSt piuInS and peaches,
And always at the door would wait
To carry home my books and slate.
.sThey couldn't see'-with pout and fling
The mighty fascination
About that little snGb-nosed thing
To win such admiration;
AS If there weren't a dozen girls
With nicer eyes and longer curls"'
And this / knew as well as they,
And never could sec clearly
Why more than Marion or May
i should be loved so dearly:
So once / asked him why was this.
BE only answered with a kiss.
Until l teased him-'sTell me why
want to know the reason
When from the garden bed close by
Che panSleS were IN season.,
He plucked aad gave flower to me
With sweet and simple gravity.
1.-The garden is in bloom, he said,
With lilies pale and slender,
With roses and veIbenas red,
And fuchias' purple splendor;
But over ana above the rest
This little hearts-e2se suits me best.
Am I your little heartS-ease, thens"
L asked with bIushieg pleasure;
He answered yesi and yes again
Hearts-eaSe anC dearest tire ssufe;
That the round world and all the sea
Held nothing half SO sweet as me.
1 listened with n proud delight
Too rare for words to capture,
Nor ever drea what sudden blight
Would come to chin nay rapture.
Could l foreSee the tender bloom
Of pansies round a little tomb?
Life holds some stern experience,
As most of us discover,
And I've had other losses since
1 lost my little lover;
But still this purple panSy brings
Thoughts of the saddest. sweetest things.
