A MARYLANDER's RECEIPT FOR HAP

York ''Sun" writes as follows from Den.
ton, Md:
Curtis Andrews, living in the fourth dis
trict of Caroline county, is now 50 years
old. His wife is nearly the same age, and
they have lived together for sixty years.
Their life has been plain and laborious, but
their faces wear look of smiling content
that draws kindly feeling towards them.
When asked the secret of his happiness,
Andrews replied: "Well, sir, have al
ways noticed that there is more trouble
between man and wife over making the
Ere in the morning than anything else.

IN THE LIGHTHOUSE.

It was the last day of the old year, and
yet it did not seem much like winter, tho
the maple trees were bare and the flowers
all dead. The oaks were covered thickly
with leaves. True, when the wind blew
it rustled through brown, dry foliage very
different to the living tints of months
back; but when you looked at the soft,
muddy roads, or the clear blue sky, you
scarcely realized that it was just past

"Now said Jack, after an exciting

But Jack never knew anything of this.
AL he knew was that his father said, pat
ting his head: s'God bless you sonny. If
it had not been for the flight shining
through the darkness of that awful night,
I shouldn't have been alive to take care of
you now" And Jack thought this quite
made up for the long, weary weeks of pain
before he could use his lame foot again.

mo. If you'll keep an eye on my horse
I'll find her,"
well, theirs nothing stuck up about
Susie. She'll say yes or no as soon as she
looks you over. If you want her don't be
afraid to say so.''
"The stranger heard the sound of her
axe and followed it. He found her just as
the tree was ready to fall. She was stout
good-looking girl, swinging the axe like a
man, and in two minutes he had decided
to say:
''Susle, I'm widower from New York
State, I'm thirty-nine years old, have
one child, own good farm, and want a
wife. Will you 60 back home with me?"
She leaned on the axe and looked at him
for half minute, and then replied:
"Can't say for certain. just wait till I
get these coons off my mind"
She sent the tree crashing to the earth,
and with his help killed five eoons which
were slowed away, in hollow.
''Well, what do'you say3" he asked, as
the last coon stopped kicking.
I'm your'n." was the reply; land by
the time you get back from De Witt I'll
have these pelts off and tackled up and be
ready for the preacher!''
He returned to the house, told the old
folks that he should bring preacher back
with him, and at dusk that evening the
twain were married. Hardly an hour had
been wasted in counting, and yet he took
home one of the best girls in the State OF
Michigan--DetroitF Free Press.

For YOUNG MEN TO REMEMBER.-The
Albany ''Press" urges young men to re.
member the following:
That clothes don't make the man.
That their fathers know mere than thew
do.
That if they once get in debt they may
never get out of it.
That parting the hair in the middle
brings on softening of the brain.
That to deal honorably with men they
begin with their washer-woman.
That they will need something more
substantial than cigars, light kids and a
cane to start housekeeping with.
That they should devote some of their
leisure moments to the improvement of
their minds if they ever mean TO amount
to anything.
That an employer who hears of a clerk
living in style good ways above his sal
airy is very apt to show him the door when
he least expects it.
That they can't reckon on their fathers
fortune TO bring them through life, For
tunes are slippery things-better have
something besides to fall back on.
That a girl who decks herself in the latest
things out and parades in the street while
her mother does the family washing, ism It
worth wasting much love on.
That fellow who deliberately proposes
matrimonv to girl when he can't support
himself, is either first class fraud or a
fool-unless he marries for money and be-
comes her "hired man,
That if they wish to fall stark mad in
love with girl because she is pretty, they
ought to be sure how much powder and
paint there may be in the question, and
figure accordingly.
