Men, Women and Marriage.

New York Times: If man has
"a right TO marry, why has not a wo-
man? If a man may ask a woman
to become his wife, why may not a
woman suggest to a man how lively
it would be TO become her husbands
But nay. Society, by its usage
which is stronger than written law,
says that such a proceeding is OBJ
| jectionable, and that lovely women
must not practice it. We bow to
the dictate of society's usage, and
the woman who rebels against 1t is
voted rude, forward and unwOman-
ly. And yet the honest desire for
a companion and partner for life is
implanted in the feminine heart as
deeply as in that of man. 1t does
not find expression in the same
manner.
The woman who has reached ma
| turity without ever having had de-
sire TO marry, is either mentally or
physically imperfect, or else is, as it
were, a wooden doll, or a partially
animated piece of wax work. She
may pride herself on what she
thinks is her excessive modesty,
but her ardent sister, who honestly
longs for a real and live man TO be
her comfort tor life, 10 just as mod
est, and quite as sensible. 1t is not
always the case that the longing of
the girl who wants TO marry as
sumes the form of outward ond YER
bal expression.
There are thousands of bashful
fellows who have had on their
tongues the propositions they would
iain have uttered, but were fright
ened by the fear that the girls
would refuse them, when at the
very time the dear creatures were
hoping and longing for these same
individuals to give them an oppor
tunity TO accept.
But there are at least a thousand
and one ways in which a girl may
with proprIeJy communicate to al
most any bright young man her
ideas concerning him. These are
not set down in the guide books
They are part of our unwritten liter
ature. They come not by rule and
They are shove and
beyond all these and responsible to
no law. Impossible though it be
to define them in words, the Ian
suage of love speaks them more
plainly than cornet voice. Hardly
any young man asking a young
lady TO marry him ought to be re-
fused. If he has all the competent !
elements of sound good sense, he
knows before he asks the question
what its answer will be. If he is
it shows that he is not quite
Is smart as he thought he was. His
lefeat is notifying. The girl may
nave wanted to marry, but he is not
he man Of her choice. She will leave
lin to heal at his leisure the
Wounds of his suffering heart, while
he takes her chances that some
'Ody else will offer who will prove
o her more acceptable. The youth
aims wisdom by experience, and
fter his first grief is assuaged,
'hich may possibly be not very
)ng, he seeks permanent consola ,
on IN some other direction, this
me taking his steps with careful .
lutiOn as to prevent him from re :
eating the blnnder. ]

Home, Sweet Home. F."

There's no place like home" ex
claimed a married man with a sigh
OF relief, as he threw down his hat,
pulled of his coat and boots, slipped
his feet in his slippers, and flung
himself down on the sofa. As soon
as he was comfortably settled, his
lovingwife ordered him to go ont and
get = pail of water, bring in a scut-
tie of coal, lock up the hen-house,
feed the pigs, and split some wood
for morning. Then he angriIy
gathered himself together, kicked
OF his slippers, savagely drew on
his boots, hastily climbed in his
ulster, jammed his hat over his
eyes, and as he went out of the
back door, he muttered, There is
no place like home"

Human Thcrns.

There are certain disagreeable
people in this world who seem to
take a special delight in annoying
others by reminding them of things
they would willingly forget, They
are human thorns, forever torturing
their fellow men for the sake OF
torture. Has a man met with mis-
fortune in his business, they are
recalling the fact. Has a man in
times that are gone wandered into
devious paths, they are forever re-
minding him of 1t, often by con-
graduating that that is past. Has
a man Numbered, they are forever
telling him what might have been"
When the thorn is of masculine
gender, there is one way of get
ting relief. He can be knocked
down and taught manners. When
the thorn is Of the feminine gender,
the case is different and not so cas-
lily disposed of But Causeur hears
OF one such scOurge in petticoats
who got her deserts the other eve
ming. 1t was a little party, where
a score of people were gathered to-
gether. The thorn sat near young
man, who, in the days gone by, had
been guilty of follies that cost him
dearly. He had put them all be-
hind him. But the thorn took &C
casion to recall them, in a subdued
and confidential tone. The victim,
who had been subjected to the
same torture before, spoke up so
that all could hear. Madam" he
said," for several years l have been
trying to forget all that. You have
been trying to remember it. You
have succeeded better than I. II
congratulate you" The thorn sub |
lued.

Cure for Ear-ache.

A lady tells in the Germantown
Telegraph cure she heard for
this distressing pain:
Many years ago two of my chill
dren, one aged three, the other one
year, had a terrible attack of ear
ache all one day and night. l
worked over the little sufferers, do
ing ali l could think of, and trying
remedies suggested by our neigh
bOrs On the second morning of
the attack, lady came in and ask
ed if had tried burnt sugar. l
told her no, that / had not heard
of that. She told me to put some
live Goals on q tin. plate, sprinkle
some brown sugar on them, set a
funnel over it, and then hold the
child so that the smoke could go
into the ear. did so, using the
same remedy for both little ones
The result was marvellous; the pain
stopped instantly, and soon both
little sufferers we're in a sound re
freshing sleep.

Our daily familiar life is but a
hiding of ourselves from each other
behind a scene of trivial words and
deeds, and those who sit with US at
the same hearth are often the
farthest off from the deep human
soul within us, full of unspoken

crops of the settler is his own faml-

and manufacturing classes results
in the higher possible advantage TO
each, while the interchange and
commodities become mutual ben
eft and reciprocal wealth.
The following was evidently ut
tered by a true farmer: The coun-
try home can be made very pleas
ant by fixing up the yards and
houses more than they now are.
Farmers should be without debts,
and then they can make farm lite
very pleasant. The farmer should
read and study several hours every
day. He must have good laborers,
and have them understand that his
interest is theirs. Plenty of read
ing matter should be kept on hand
all the time. Instead of straight
lines about the place devote more
space TO landscape gardening. The
keeping of good stock will always
add to the pleasure of farming
