On Marriage--To the Young Men.

The true girl has to be sought for.
She does not parade herself as show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gen
orally she Is not rich. But, Oh !
what heart she has when you find
her! so large, and pure, and woman
ly! When you see it, you wonder
if those snowy things outside were
really women. If you gain her love,
your two thousand are a million, and
she'll not ask you for a buggy or a
first. class house. She'll wear simple
dresses, and turn them when nec-
essary, with no vulgar magnitcat to
frown upon her economy. She'll
keep everything neat and nice in
your sky parlor, and give you such q
acelconae when come home, that you'll
think your parlor higher than ever
She'll entertain true friends on dol.
lar, and astonish you with the new
thought, how very little happiness
depends on money! She'll make you
love home (if you don't you're 9
brute), and teach you how TO pity,
while you scorn, poor fashionable
society that thinks itself rich, ant
vainly tries to think itseifhappy.
Now, do not, I pray you, cay an.
more, II cannot afford to marry
Go, find the true woman, and 70,
can! Throw away that cigar, bur,
up that switch cane, be sensible your
self and seek your wife in sensibl,
way.-C DR.. Crosby.

"Oh P! We Had Company

The above is quite a common
though frivolous excuse among
church members for not attending
the means Of grace. Strange, in
deed, that children OF God should
prefer human society to DIVINE
should rather talk Sabbath after Sab
bath, to a few Sunday visitors than
to their heavenly Father. If they
love good company, would they not
be found regularly in the sanctuary
(when at all possible), conversing
with the Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost? If these three celestial guests
cannot entertain them to their souls
satisfaction, who can? Furthermore,
if professors of religion will stay at
home on Sabbaths to please their COM
pany, why not stay in the house from
their work week days, for the same
purpose? Do they deem the holy
Sabbath-day the least important oi
of the seven, that it should be passed
il all manner of worldly converse
ton? Are not six days to talk abou,
the world and receive visitors, .suffic.
ient2 Is one day in seven to attend
church and provide for the soul's
wants, too much? Will we rob Goo
of the time we should spend in holy
and sweet communion with him? w.
should blush crimson to even men
ton such shallow reasons as the one
at the head of this article for.not goins
to the house of God. Let US cult
vate more of Davii's spirit and say
Il was glad when they said unto me
Let us 60 up into the house of tn,
Lord" When we stand at the ba
of God, and the Judge asks US WHY
we did not 60 to his sanctuary more
we will not look him in the face. ant
say: "Oh! We had company"

The Temperance Work.
From the Church and Home.


The Christian Temperance Union
of Mexico. has resumed its regular
Monday evening meetings atthe Opera
House. Thus far these meetings
have been as we'll attended and as en-
thusiastic as ever before. Last Mon
day night there was present an i'm
mense audience, and the programme
was interesting; the address Of the
evening being made by Rev. B. F.
Smith, of this city, after which, re-
marks were made by Rev. j. C. Ma
pie. A large number signed the
pledge.
To our local readers it is known
that, in June last, the Union ad-
journed until after the then pending
election, it being supposed that dur
ing the canvass weekly meetings
could not be sustained. Whether
this supposition was well founded
there have been doubts, but how
ever this may be, there can be no
doubt but that for the future, there
can be no such word as fail.
AS a mere temperance work, its
results have been, and will be, of un-
counted value. As an educational
and social movement, nothing has
ever equalled it in this city. To the
work the best thought of our citizens
is freely devoted, while the methods
and ability with which all social and
moral questions-duties and obliga.
tions-are discussed, interest both
young and old alike. For such rea-
sons all our citizens take an inter.
est and pride in the organ ization.
its work and influence, giving to il
vast moral support and weight which
enable it to accomplish measures of
great good, particularly for the young
1t is to be hoped that the work vii
go on, to the ultimate fruition of the
hopes Of the most earnest philanthro
pist.
The officers are: President, JohI
E. Hutton; Secretary, Byron Cluster
Treasurer, J. M. Marmaduke; Chair
man Ex. Com, J. P. Clark.

Church Etiquette.
From the Church and Home.

From the Church and Home.
We are blessed with general good
order in our religious assemblies.
Christianity has such place in the
public mind that it is now conceded
that no Christian man has right to
make another person unhappy, or
even to annoy him through selfish in
diligence. We may classify the petty
incivilitles of church life thus:
1. Smells.-Violent perfumes, es-
pecially those containing musk, are
disagreeable to most persons, and to
some positively distressing. There
is no smell 90 universally pleasing as
no smell, Never scent yourself when
gong into a crowded assembly. The
same is true of the residuary smell of
tobacco which hangs about the gar
ments and affiicts the breath Of those
who habltually smoke. But tobacco
almost invariably makes men self
indulgent and regardless of others
convenience. More brutal yet are
they who 60 to church reeking, like q
Dutchman's soup, with the smell Of
onions. There are scores of people
who have lost all profit of Sunday
service by the sickening smell which
surround them.
2. Sounds.-Whisperlng in church
during the service is an affront to
politeness. Much Of the coughing
which goes on in church arises from
the poisonous gases and personal
efluvia which exist in unventilated
churches. But the power of the will
over the muscles which do the cough
ing is very great. A needless person
will cough twice as much a. is need
ful-will cough at the worst time pos
sible, will cough plump upon the
necks Of those before him, instead of
embalming the sound in his handker-
chief as, with little skill and polite
ness. be might easily do. We would
not forbid men who cannot sing to
''make a joyful noise"-but it should
be q softly noise. In all cases when
it is q mans duty to sleep in church,
it is bis duty also to snore with the
soft pedal down.
8. Syht.-Every one likes to see
the minister. It cannot be done
through your body. True, you can
not help being before somebody un-
less you are on the back seat. But,
with q little thought you may very
much help those behind you. Any
conduct which shall divert the atten-
tion of others from the service, such
rs ostentatious playing with . watch
or opening and shutting it, reading
books oe papers, looking shout In
quisltiyely, is impolits.

Figures Won't Lie !!


The Maine Temperance Journal
gives the following government stat
istics respecting the yearly expendI-
lures of the nation:
Salaries Of all the ministers Of the
Gospei.... sOgp,e0e
Cost oi dogs. -..................----. 7os0o0,ooo
Support OF Criminals. Observation-Disclosures. 100000
Fees OF litigation n................-.... S. 100000
Cost of tobacco and cigars. 6lo,OooSes
The above facts are worth pom
dering well. As Christians we pro-
fess great love for the cause Of
Christ. 1t is admitted on every hand
that tho ministry-the preaching of
the Gospels among the chief sgen-
cies in the spread of the Redeemer's
Kingdom. We also hold not only
that we are nation, but Christian
nation. and yet We pay SO, ,000, 900
for dogs and $4,000, 900 for preach
ers! No wonder that Lazarus wanted
to make the dogs his companions;
if there was as much expense then,
per capita, as there ls at the present
day. Notice further: $61O, 900, 900
spent for tobacco; i. e. SO 10, 900, 900
to CRAFTY the desire Of uncleanly
habit, and only $6,OOo,OO0 for the
spread Of the Gospel! If men and
women will keep dogs and smoke
and chew tobacco, let them show at
least an equal love tor Christ's cause
by paying dollar for dollar. In fact,
the Divine rule is: "Lovest thou me
more than these. not $11 for dogs
and S10l.66 2-3 for tobacco to every
81 they pay to sustain the preach
ing of the Gospel of the Son of God |!
There are churches in the rural dis
tricts containing six to eight farmers
each with estates varying from So
600 to $10,0 that pay their pastors
from $500 to $500, and some receive
missionary money to aid them in doing
that. Is there anything in these and
similar cases that savors at all of sac
rifce? Our observation has taught
US that iberality increases with the
decrease of ability. From 10 to 100
per cent more is usually given by the
poor than the more wealthy. We
are living in the midst of thriving
business population, hence it is
wrong to compel our ministers to
live on mere pittance; they are gen.
orally devoted and hard working
8 men; men Of good abilities, and COM
PEELED by Gods law, and the law Of
the church, to be men of one work.
They have sacrificed the industrial
q and business.calllngs of life for mere
subsistence, and that, in many in.
. stances, upon truly economical
scale, for the benefit of the churches
, they serve. See to it, brethren, tha
you do not withhold more than il
meet, and by Withholding, leave YOU
pastors in want of domestic comforts
: or bring their reputation in doub'
t with his creditors. Mediate upor

In discussing the political situation
a month ago, Mr.. McSwasher and
Mr.. Magarrigan each casting their
respective eyes over the political
horizon, came to totally opposite con-
clusions. The discussion became
rather heated, until it eliminated in
the following highly original and al
together sensible bet: The bet was
on the Presidency, and the loser was
to wheel the gamer up and down the
principal street of Stiekinthemud,
New Mexico, in wheelbarrow.
When the time came for the payment
Of the bet, Cronk's Own and Only
Conglomeration of Wonders, Moth
ing to offend the Most Fastidious,
came to town. Mr.. McSwasher had
the job Office of that enterprising
town, where orders by mail are
promptly attended to and satisfaction
guaranteed, strike off large number
of posters, which were duly posted
up all over Stickinthemud the day
before the debt was to be paid. The
posters stated that Cronk's Own and
Only had secured the services of their
esteemed fellow-citizen, J.. H. Nc
Swasher, who would on the morrow
wheel around the streets their biggest
babboon, that the public might Judge
from its awful form the wonders to
be seen under the canvas of Cronk's 8
Own. The great Street wheelbarrow
parade free. Admission to the con-
solldated show only so cents; chill
dren free. 1t is unnecessary to say
that Mr.. Msgarigan did not want to
hold Mr.. McSwasher to the payment
of the wager.
