MARRIAGE.

The foundation of every good govern
ment is the family. The best and most
prosperous country is that which has the
greatest number of the happy firesides.
The hottest institution among men is
marriage. 1t has taken The race of count
less ages to come up to the condition of
marriage. Without il there would be
no civilization, no human advancement,
no life worthy living for. Life is a
failure to any woman who has not
secured the love and alteration of some
good man. Life is mockery to any
man, no matter whether he be mendicant
or monarch, who has not won the heart
of some worthy woman. Without love
and marriage, all the priceless joys of
this life would be as ashes on the lips
of the children of men. .aa -
"You had better be the emperor of
some loving and tender heart, and she
the empress of yours, than to be the
king of the world"
The man who has really won the love
of one good woman in this world, it
matters not though he die in the ditch a
beggar, his life has been success.
There is heather book which says:
MAN is strength, woman is beauty; man
is courage, woman is love-" When the
one man loves the one woman, aud the
one woman loves that one man, the
very angels leave heaven and come and
sit in the house, and sing for joy.

Saturday, however, they were compells d

that circular was being got out. This
circular each man found when he open

How to Buy, What to Buy,
and Where Not to Buy.


A few years ago, when the ready-made clothing
trade was in its infancy and shoddy and ma
chine sewing ne1 ly invented, The ready-made gar
ments come into bad repute ON account of the viii
famous materials used and the bad quality of the
workmanship employed. The cloths used in the
manufacture of ready-made garments were cotton
warps, filled with the grindings from worn-out wool
en- rags, and the making of the garments was done
upon the miserable first inventions of one thread
sewing machines. No wonder that the public be-
came suspicious of anything bearing the name of
ready-made, and for a time the merchant tailors
had things all their own way again But this is all
changed TO very great extent. The quality of the
improved, and the sewing and other workmanship
have kept pace With the march of improvements
the world over. An overcoat which costs S25 or
$50 from the counters of the clothing houses would
cost from $40 to $40, if made to measure by the
merchant taors. 1t is not intended in this State
ment to attempt to maintain that all ready-made
garments are equal to the work of custom tailors
only that there have been great improvements In
the making, trimming and findings OF ready-mads
clothing, within the past eight ten years. till at
the present time the garments produced are in
every way worth the money paid for them.
The Portland daily press., 1880-12-14
How It Can Be Done

is very satisfactorily explained In the first place.
a saving is made in the cutting of the garment
For instance, in overcoats, in the houses where
hundreds at time and by careful estimates it has
been found to cost 20 cents to single overcoat
whereas in the custom tailoring houses it could be
accomplished, the average, for not less than 49,
When the making of most of the strictly frst-cass
ready made clothing is done in large establishments
where hundrt dis of hands are employed upon differ
seams, another upon the lining, another upon the
buttonholes, and so each class of laborers being
adopts in the work put before them no time is lost
made overcoat comes ont costing $8 or $40 less
than the custom garment although the materials in
each may be the same 1t is fact hat many per-
sary to keep up appearances, and hence obliged
to dress well. The clothing from the best ready
made establishments costs very much less than that
from the custom tailors and since the recent great
improvements in styles, these gentry are becoming
more and more their regular patrons.

THE Advertiser lays down some PROPOSE
tions which it wishes to discuss.
THAT it is possible, with reasonable
care and diligence, to distribute the printed
copies of the message in Maine as we'll as in
Massachusetts.
This the PRESS admits and also that the
President tried to do it himself, and failed
II-That the Maine press ought not to be
satisfied, &C., which is also admitted.
1t next proceedsto to lay the blame upon
the Associated Press, which we have shown,
and the Advertiser knew before it uttered a
word on the subject, to be utterly diseon-
nected with it, unless it be that the Presi-
dent sent the Boston copies through the
agent there, as the Advertiser claims to be
stated in letter which it tsuppresses. This
fact, however, if fact it be, does not touch
the case here, as the Portland copies were
sent to. the Postmaster.

IN BOYS CLOTHING,

The same fancy cassimeres in mild tones prevail
as in mems goods. The overcoat for boys is also
the doublefaced ulsterette, long oyercoat with
put the belt, made up in one or two variations OF
Ityle, and given fancy names: and in some in
stances, cut to fit the form, giving far hand
some appearance than the old ulster with its strap
This strap has been omitted almost altogether and
it was never of any earthly use except for another
boy to catch hold of. The kits still very popu-
lar for the little dots of from to years. and they
are very pretty generally in fancy cassimeres They
are cut either single double breasted, and finish
ed with two rows of buttons. They are either cut
away or full fronts, 80 to show the underskirts
The underskirt is made of woollen goods, generally
plated around the bottom while the waist or part
which comes under the kilt is made of cotton. The
little woollen kilt coat with sleeves goes on over
this skirt, and gives the appearance of little coat
in the back, with plated shirt below. The pre-
vaing overcoat for the little dot is straight sack
cut very long and made of SOFT Ight-colored goods
The prices Of the little kits range from SO to $40.
and of the little oversacks from 81 to S12. The
prevailing suit for the little boy of from to 10
years. is the surtout, or two garments made togeth
err giving the appearance of little coat and
breeches. Then over this, for cold weather, is
worn the double-faced overcoat or ulsterette.

dandy is complete. The single-breasted sacks are
also much in vogue this fall, made in the same
goods as the four button cutaway. OF course, the
ordinary plain frocks and sacks, made from plain
diagonal and basket-woven worsteds, are still in
vogue and will be for long time to come, but those
who seek after new styles must be accommodated
In pantaloons, some light checks and fancy mix
lures will be worn through the winter but the ten
