Can't Afford It.

Il tell you Uncle josh, can AFFORD
it. Girls nowadays are SO eXtravagant
that it fairly terrifes man contemplate
ing matrimony. There is your favorite,
Miss Hartley; she declared to me in
strictest confidence, last evening, that
she could not imagine how any one
could exist without the opera. And
not week ago knew of her mention
ing an India shawl as positive necessity
for lady's wardrobe"
"Mere girlish eXageration, Will.
She has always had rich father to pay
her bills
"And naturally will expect rich
husband, to do the same. If l had Mr..
Hartley's bank account, the matter
would be different; but though my sala-
ry is good, my income Independent of
that is very small. If I provide India
shawls and opera tickets without limit,
to the future Mrs. Stanton, l can
scarcely meet expenses, if I do not actu-
ally run into debt. Now l am quite re-
solved to save little every year until 1
own home, and can start in business
for myself"
"a good wife would help you, Will"
But where is she to be found :"
Uncle Josh chuckled a little at the
idea of his giving information on the
subject, and the gentlemen having fin
ished their preparation for departure,
started for their place of business.
Uncle Josh was cashier. and his
nephew clerk in a large retail dry goods
store, but the elder gentleman possessing
ample means, employed his time not
from necessity, but from horror of
idleness. He boarded, as did his neph-
ew, at fashionable boarding house at
Brooklyn, crossing the ferry every morn
ing for the store in New York.
On the morning when the gentlemen
held the conversation recorded above,
Will found his services required as a
salesman, owing to the illness of one of
the men in the silk department. He
had served in the same capacity before
though he held more lucrative position
in the counting house; but stepping be-
hind the counter he found already a
few fair customers in the store. Two
ladies, young ana pretty, required his
services at once.
Evening silks, if you please" said
one, tall and very stylish. looking girl,
dressed with exquisite taste and in rich
garments. "Show me some Of the new
shades
"Oh, Winnie" said her companion,
this shade of sage will suit YOU perfect
". | am not fair enough to wear it,
but it is a lovely tint for a blonde.
Don't look any further for a silk"
II am not going to get new silk,
Marcia"
Not going to get new silk for
Mrs. Hartley's partyl Why, Vim, it
will be one OF the most dressy occasions
of the season. You have never been at
one of Floy Hartley's parties 2
mo; Miss Hartley is only recent
acquaintance.
Then take my advice and get a
har dsome dress. You have no idea how
they dress there"
II can't afford it, Marcia. !"

Doctor lie VI oyne's body will, of course, he
incinerated in decent accordance with his
wishes, but the opponents of cremation IN the
West declare that the Pagan custom VIII end

they are right OF not. There are many cogent
arguments in special localities, in favor of this
cleanly. swift. reverent remission OF the dead
body TO it's original elements-chef among
which are sanitary reasons. In orr Southern
cities-especially in New -Oreans-cemcterles
are not now so much resting-places for the
dead as breeding places Of pestience to the
living. Certainly, burning is more decent
mode of disposal of the dead than the use of
beds of quick lime. now common in those
towns. Even in orr colder attitudes the pres
ence of an enormous mass OF de-
caying human flesh below or on level
with the water supplies in the midst
of crowded cities is n sure means of
spreading the most insidiOus Of all diseases.
Already among our more educated liberal
classes a large undeclared party are in favor
of cremation. DR.. lie MOyne erred in his
manner of presenting this reform to the

to give to his funeral rites the beauty, the
reserve and the religious ceremonies which

dead, he would have attracted rather than
shocked the multitude.
The reformer is dead but his reform has
more vitality in 1t than his opponents suppose.
Crematorics properly built and conducted near
our large cities would probably even now be
used Ivy few people and in this case where
prejudice and feeling are among the CHIEF
obstacles, familiarity might remove the violent

thing more at the hands Of his countrymcn
than the brief notice of his death as Imam

serve to describe few trivial peculiarities in
him of manner and habits but, for the rest,
few men who have led our National affairs

opinion. He was fiery Aboitionisl, candidate
for Vice-President on that ticket when an Aboli-
ZIONIST was regarded by conservative people as a
lbertine and an atheist, and he died advocat-

still shudder as a relic OF heathenisn. There
was tough Spartan fibre in this man which

just the same rights as each and every North

upon the honor of the Nation or the sover-
eighty ofits laws, and demands control, as sec
ton. of the Government which it tried IN vain
TO destroy, there are millions of Northern voters
who did not fight and will not vote on that
side. There is the end of the business. There
is Solid North, because there Is soma

Time flies. There's not a bit OF doubt or
the truth of that ancient saw. Here are the
Massachusetts veterans of the war of 1872,
who have certainly been active enough within
the memory of a good many young people OF this
generation, formally dissolving their organlza-
tion because they are too old and feeble to
come to any more meetings OF their dwlndllng
band Of sixteen. The Mexican War, too, Is
fading away into the distance, for all that it
seems to many quite n modern affair. 1t
is more than thirty years since 1t broke
out, and most Of the youngest men
who fought at Chepultepec and Buena
Vista are clearly entitled to gray hairs.
Even the great conflict which will no doubt
be called the war" for generation to come,
Is if there had been but one, is an older story
than some of us realize. Within year or
two a generation of voters will move up 10
the polls who were in their cradles when
Sumter was fired upOn. From one point Of
view, all this is not To be regretted. That
time is hardly to be regretted which puts the
gIiefs and horrors Of war away from us.

If the world Is governed too much it is pos
sible that there NAV be too much legislation, for
which les, frequent sessions of legislative bodies
NAV bee the remedy. The subject is receiving
rood deal of attention in several States not for the
first time and particularly IN Massachusetts, where
the sessions have been held annually for nearly
three centuries, there Is considerable inclination
to tiy the plan of session once IN two years those
States which have adopted this plan seem TO be
we'll enough contentcd with its practical working.
The Bosfoa Hcrdid has taken some pans TO secure
the general opinion upon the subject in such States
and especially the opinion of their Governors; {;
and il is universally u favor of such sessions. The
advantages gained, as We gather them from these
Executive statements, are decreased expenses,
smaller opportunity for changing statutes before
they have had fair trial, greater delbcration In
enactmenis less work in merely remedying bad
legislation, less tendency To pass special
laws and diminution OF jobbery. OF
course, change should not be made as
a mere matter of economy, unless desirable
upon higher grounds of public policy; but
the saving of the public money is OF no little I'M
portapco in these times Of heavy taxation. If the
plan had been adopted in Connecticut 1t would
have effected n saving of $500 annually, and
of still larger sum, If election expenses were
taken into account. In Minnesota under the blen-
nial system, there has been a saving amounting
70 one-Guarter of the aggregate expenses oi
the government. Every other year said the
Auditor, "we save 500 900. the direct expenses
of a session. and $4,000 on printing stationery
and other incdenials.' He thought also that there
was a great saving III appropriations. though he
was not prepared 10 estimate the amount. He be-
heved that the amendment would bring about BIZ
ennial elections and that SO there would be less of
Office seeking, and Of the pitting of one nation
ality against another"

Thurlow Weed, in a letter printed else
where, pays deserved tribute to the many
public and personal virtues of George w.
Patterson. just deceased. He was for more
than half a century conspicuous among the
men of politics of this State. and closed his
public life by serving. actively and faithfully,
full term in Congress. although nearly
eighty years Of age when he was elected.
President Hayes says IF | were a citizen
"of New-YOrk should certainly vote for Mr..
"Cornell, and hope lac will be elected. Every
Republican in New-YOrk should feel bound
"to support the nominees of his party" This
is as plain as words can make it, and should
De pondered by any Republican who may have
been led to believe that the expression of a
dislike to particular candidate is of more
Importance than the assertion Ot Republican
principles.
The nomination of Mr. William W. Ast0r
for Senator by the Republicans of the Xth
District i'll this city, is a wise one. Mr.. AstOr
made an excellent record in the Assembly,
and is young man of high character and
much promise. 1t is an excellent sign when
young men who have his temptations toward
Indifference to public duties do not shirk the
performance Of them, and aim to win the hon
orable plies Of political career. Mr.. Astor
will make close canvass of his District, it
is understood and II Is almost certain that
he will be elected.
The letter given on another page from "a
taff correspondent who visited Mr.. Hayes at
his country home in Ohio furnishes pleasant
glimpse of the Presidents plain and easy
manner Of life when be is living for himself,
and not for the country. There is some in
teresting speculation, also, OF a desultOry sort,
upon the possibility that the Democrats will
renew their contest in Congress over the ap-
preparation bills and the election laws, and
upon the danger that the Democratic Congress
NAV count out an elected Republican Pres-
dent. Ii will be observed that if the Demo-
cratic party is ready for another tussle like
that of last Winter, the President is.
The Ohio needle veers little more to the
Republican side to-day. Mr.. Fosters plurality
will be 2O,O0O. The Official vote, which
cannot be had for several days, will be needed
10 determine the exact figure. The Re-
publican majority in the Senate is slightly
diminished, the Toledo District and others
which were counted as Republican being lost.
But the Republicans have 81 out of 81 Sem
ators, and 20 out Of LA Represent
