with giving them to unprincipled and
dissolute men. Wealth my daughters
can live without If need be, but honor is
indispensable.
The music had ceased, and Miss
Birdie had walked away with her admir-
er. Mrs. Slimborn, q good deal dazed,
and more shocked by what she had
heard, excused herself as soon as she
could, and went in search of the young
couple.
The next day the formal announce
ment was made of the engagement be-
tween James Nicklespoon, Esq, and
Miss Birdie Slimborn.
That morning Mr.. Nicklespoen cele-
brated his engagement by getting
drunk.
"Boys must be boys!" Mrs. Slimborn
remarked when the news came to her,
and both she and her daughter COM
mented jokingly on the young mans
dissipated appearance the next day;
Mr.. Nicklespoon's place on the Hudson,i
Mr.. Nicklespoon's town house, and un-i
| limited means, fully compensated In the
eyes of both mother and daughter for
| any and every indiscretion" which
Mr.. Nicklespoon might be guilty of.
Early in the fall Mr.. Nicklespoon and
1 Miss Slimborn were married. Mrs.
| Beaufort, aware of the rottenness upon
which this union was built, watched;
with absorbing interest the career Of
this young couple.
1t took Just four years for Mr.. Nickle-l
spoon to go through with his property,
and at the expiration of that time Mrs,
/ Nicklespoon was obliged to flee to herr
parents not only for shelter, but for
! protection against the dissipated wretch
| to whom her mother had been in such
haste to marry her. Mr. Slimborn, who,
had speculated on the expectation of
| financial assistance from his wealthy
son-in-law, finally failed in business, and
soon after died Mrs Slimborn, her
daughter and grandchild, are now OBJ
jects of charity, neither woman having
the ability to contribute in the slightest
manner to her own support. Mrs. Bean
fort, full of pity for their misfortune,
found few music scholars for Mrs.
Nicklespoon, but that lady's superficial
education, notwithstanding her two
years abroad, made it impossible for her
4 to give satisfaction.
Il al told you Birdie couldn't teachi"
Mrs. Slimborn remarked one day to
Mrs. Beaufort. sI didn't educate her
for teacher; and then her sensibilities
are much too fine for such drudgery. -
ssIt wasn't any use to say anything
to her," Mrs. Beaufort remarked after
ward; tbut it seems to me the story of
these two women ought to be written.
Perhaps some mother who reads it will
think less of her daughters marriage
and more of her education. If mothers
would only find out what their girls are
fitted for, and then see to it that they
learn thoroughly whatever they take up,
always with self-support in view, world
of misery would be saved. Marriage
under most conditions is lottery" she
continued; "and the proper education
of our girls is the only thing in life that
viii ever make it less so.''-Elednor

Do Not Re Deceived.

In these times of quack medicine ad
vertisements everywhere, it is truly
gratifying to find one remedy that is
worthy of praise, and which really does
as recommended. Electric Bitters we

Few persons are aware Of the Yari-
ations that each day take place in their
height These changes are not uniform;
that is to say, the range of variation is
greater in some persons than it is in
others; and while on the average it is
not far from half an inch, there are
those whose height in twenty-feur hours
varies more than an inch. As might be
supposed, a man is tallest in the morn
ing, while the contraction in height is
at its extreme at bedtime The cause
for this difference is very simple. Dur
ing the night there is little direct
pressure on the joints or yertebre that
go to make up the spinal column. In
consequence of this. these gradually ex-
pand to their limits, raising or extend
ing the body with them. lBut-when the
body is placed in an upright position
pressure is instantly put upon the verte-
bre, under which they begin to con-
tract, and in so doing they let down the
body. The most marked changes are
usually found in those who are COM
PEELED by their daily duties to spend
most of their waking hours standing or
walking. - l1l5 50 -g.rlla i-- -a-li. p.
