Mills grinning in the garden path.
He had told the truth. Bachelor Gross

became what is generally denominated a
happy pair.
A year later James was called to his un-
cle's study.
''Jim.' said the elderly gentleman, II

my marriage about, you can't complain.

Jim bowed. He was in very solemn
mood, and it occurred to him that his
trick had rather been played on him than
on his uncle.

glass or two of Madeira. The rollicking

smoked in pipes, but few except members
of the diplomatic corps INDUCED in cigars.
Assemblies we're held once week be-

in an upper room, they descended to the
parlor, where the host and hostess received
them. The older men then went to the
punch-boMl to criticise the ''breW'' which
it contained, while the young people found
their way to the dining room, almost lnvari-
ably devoted to dancing. The music was
a piano and two violins, and one of the
musicians called the figures for the cotil-
ioLs and contra-dances. Those who did
not dance elbowed their way through the
crowd, conyersing with acquaintance,
and the men frequently taking another
glass of punch. at 10 the guests were in
vited to the supper table, which was often
on the wide back porch, which every
Washington house had in those days. The
table was always loaded with evidences of
the culinary skill Of the lady of the house.
There was roast ham at one end, saddle
of venison or mutton on the other end, and
some roasted poultry or wild ducks mid
way; great variety Of home baked cake
was a source of pride, and there was never
any lack Of punch, with decanters Of Ma
deira. The diplomats gave champagne,
but it was seldom seen except at the lega-
lions. At II O'Clock there was a general
exodus, and after the usual scramble for
hats, cloaks and overshoes, the guests en-
tered their carriages. Sometimes few in
innate friends Of the hostess fingered to
enjoy contra-dance or to take parting
drink of punch, but by midnight the last
guest departed, and the servants began to
blow out the candles with which the house
had been illuminated the Atlantic

Rev. J. ]. Lafferty on Young Preachers
Marrying.

Rev. J. J. Lafferty reads the young
preachers lecture about marrying, in the
last issue of the Advocate" Pas follows:
THE time was when young preacher
contemplating matrimony'' consulted his
Elder and was governed accordingly. We
fear the Juniors Of our day are trife
backward in laying the matter even before
the Lord. Or else the Lord does not COM
municate by open vision, or by Trim, or
by dream.
I'VE have a notion that if any divine
response came, it was very brief and in
one word: DON'T
''As the Conference as it were offers a
premium for married men, and as the
hearts of the under graduates are fully set
in them to lead about sister, we will
venture sentence or two of counsel to
quit our conscience of a duty, not with
the vain hope of any one 'inwardly digest
ing the advice. We know the proverb:
He that splits against the wind spits IN his
own face.
Imprimis. Choose of a healthy family,
and pick woman of sound body. This
is scandaiously unsentimental, but it is
sense.)
1t is better to get stout sinner than a
pious and hysterical invalid. The former
can be converted. The hypochrondiac
may convert her husband into sinner or
sour drone.
Do thy diligence to find out whether
she is lazy. Flee. oh, young man from an
INDECENT and thriftless woman. Pray
heaven with strong cries to deliver you
from an untidy house wife. Does she love
music Consider 1t not, till you hear her
discourse on leaven and yeast powders.
Happiness is in the art of manipulating
hops and Irish potatoes in such mixtures
as puffs dough into sweet, light rolls.
Does she love poetry? Let her be also
well versed in pastry. Knowing Lucille by
heart won't atone a leathery crust. Rhyme
is no remedy for the dyspepsia. Enquire
whether she is quick and expert with the
needle, before concerning yourself about
her vocal powers. If she can play and
patch, so much the better. And thus en-.
deth the first lesson.
And, secondly, but it's a waste of words
to proceed-he is bound to marry her ever

THE LITTLE things which you may do
for those about you will fall back upon
your heart as the summer dews fall upon
the vineyards. What if it is nothing but a
kind wor'! to school-boy crying in the
street? It dries his tears, and the aching
heart grows light and glad again.

WE MUST not only learn, bu. we must
learn bow to use our learning. Thought
must teach US how to use our mental
storrs; it is no mere reading OF even accu-
mulation-this may lead to congestion of
the brain-a swamp in the understanding.
The man who desires a fountain in his
garden will not obtain it by pouring pals
full of water there-but he may get a
swamp.

WE ARE ruined not by what we really

Absence.

What shall I do with all the hours
That must be counted ere see thy face?
How shall chain the inter val that lowers
Between this time and that sweet time of grace?
Shall in slumber steep each weary sense,
Weary with longings shall I flee away
Into past days, and with some fOud pretense,
Cheat myselfto forge the present day?
Shall love for thee lay on myself the sin
OF casting from me Gld great gift OF time?
Shall l. those mists Of memory locked within,
Leave and forget life's purposes sublime?
Oh! how, and by what means, may contrive
To bring the hour that rings thee back more near?
How may teach my dropping hope to live
Until that blessed time when thou art here?
I'll tell thee; for thy sake, will lay hold
OF all good aims, and cOnsecrate to thee,
In worthy deeds, each momen. that is told,
While thou, beloved one, art far from me.
For thee will arouse my thoughts to try
All heavenward flights, all high and holy strains
For thy dear sake will walk patiently
Through these long hours, nor call their minutes
pains.
Soon may this doomed time build up in me
A thousand graces, which shall thus be thine;
SO may my love and longing hallowed be,
And thy dear thoughts an influence divine.
