The Wedding Ring.

In our day, and in our country,
the wedding ring has become, TO an
almost universal extent, a thing of
the past, and many there are of our
people, married and Intelligent,
who cannot tell of the significance
of the wedding ring, nor where it
should be worn. From time i'm
memorial the ring has been held
as a symbol. In ancient times the
seal was always upon finger ring;
and the husband, when he placed
his ring upon the hand OF his wife,
signlfied thereby that he had given
to her his seal, and that thenceforth
she should be his representative.
In old times it was the custom of
the Doge. of Venice annually on
ascension day to go out upon the
water, and from the deck of the
ship Bucehtaur to throw ring into
the sea, thereby signifying that he
had "married the Adriatic," and
that the beautiful sea was united
with the tributary to Venice.
In the days of the commonwealth
of England, Cromwell sought to put
stop to the custom of giving and
wearing the wedding ring-and
many of the Puritans did cast it
aside-because of its heathen ori-
gin.
In old times, among the nobility,
the wedding ring was the husbands
seal; but later simple hoop of gold
is sufficient.
And now: Where shall the we'd
ding ring be worn9 Always-from
the earliest times to the present
on the fourth finger of the left
hand, counting the thumb as
number one. II you ask why this
finger is selected, answer, there
are several explain ations; but the
oldest, AID therefore the most
rational, is this: The ancients be
lieved that a wonderful artery led
from the fourth finger of the left
hand directly to the heart, and
hence this was the point whence
love might send its mystic message
most readily to the seat of the affec-
tions-to the throbbing centre of
the. soul.
Really, like the idea of the we'd
ding ring. 1t helps to make more
strong and more binding the marri-
age rite; it helps to sanctify it.
May we not attribute much-very
much-of the present day disposi-
ton to divorce to the throwing
away of so many of the forms and
symbols held sacred by our snces-

No truer lines were ever written
than those of Horace Greeley -
"Fsme Is vapor; popularity ALI ac-
cident; riches take wings; the only
earthly certainty is oblivion" Five
years ago the name of Gortschakoff
was a familiar and brilliant one in
history. To-day a decrepit, childish
old man, totters about the streets of
some dull Italian or south of France
city, scarcely noticed, and quite un-
known by most of the curious folks
among whom he vegetables. A slow
summer at Baden Baden, a slower
winter as we have written it, so per-
ishes the career of a diplomat than
whom there have been few, if any,
shrewder or more successful. For
gotten in his own country, unknown
in those to which his uselessness S
and his infirmities have exiled him,
the great ex-imperial chancellor of
all the Russias awaits the common
fate of man in obscurity as utter
as he ever relegsted any unfortunate
conspirator against whose name he
set the black marks. Fate has
its vengeances more complete than
those of man.

Female Society.

What is it that makes all those
men who associate habitually with
women superior to others who do
not? What makes that woman who
is accustomed to, and at ease in,
the society of men, superior to her
sex in generalp Solely because
they are in the habit of free, grace
ful, continued conversations, with
the other sex. Women in this way
lose their frivolity, their faculties
awaken, their delicacies and pecul-
iarities unfold all their beauty and
captivation in the spirit of intellec-
tual rivalry. And the men lose
their pedantIc, rude, declamatory,
or sullen manner. The coin of the
understanding and the hesrt chang
es continually. Their asperities
are rubbed of, their better materi-
ais polished and Frightened, and
their richness, like gold, is wrought
into finer workmanship by the fin
gers of women than it ever could be
by those of men. The iron and
steel of their characters are hidden,
like the character and armor of
giant, by studs and knots of gold
and precious stones, when they are
not wanted in actual warfare.

THE OLD EDITION.

1t is only a plain old Bible,
But lay it away with care,
For my mother used to read it,
Each verse so sweet with prayer.
Your new one may be more perfect,
Revised by learned of the age,
But give my hallowed treasure
With tho self-same words on each page.
That in childhood's hours fell sweetly
Upon my listening ear,
OF God and his wondrous mercy
Through many lingering year
1t has stood the test of the scoffer,
And where is the heart to-day
That will turn to the new edition
And Danish the old awayG
Why the prayer that my mother taught me-
If a change in the words was made,
'Twould jar on the rythm of memory,
And it's mighty power would fade.
You may turn in your search tor knowledge
And say that the new is best
For me, can only wonder
That man should have made this test.
So give me my plain old Bible
That1 read when l was child,
'Tis the one that my mother treasured,
And never was saint more mild.

To words that are cold, estranged;
No, give me my grand old Bible,

Grizzly Dan.

"Grizzly Dan," the hero of Mon
tans, led a wonderful life. He was
was once set upon by a whole
tribe Of Indians and obliged to run
for his life. He headed for a cliff
700 feet high, dodging the bullets
fred at him as he ran, being able
through long practice 70 tell the
course Of a ball by the sound as It
approached from the rear. Grizzly
Dan uDhesitatingly leaped over the
clif,to the amazement OF theIndians.
As he was falling, Dan turned,
raised his Winchester rifle TO his
shoulder and pulled the trigger
An Indian toppled over with a ball
through his lett eye, and while he
kept falling Dan kept pulling the
trigger until seventeen redskins had
balls through their left eyes and
we're falling over the cliff after him.
The eighteenth shot only carried
away an Indians nose as the air was
so full of falling Indians between
him and the top of the cliff that
his aim was little confused. de
struck feet foremost in the stream
below, and swan to the opposite
shore before the last Indians dead
body struck the water.

What the world Owes Printers

Editor Seals, of the Atlanta
(Ga. Sunny South, pays this de-
served tribute to the much-abused
compositor:
To it's writer's the world does
not stand as a debtor. 1t has CIV
en- to them largely of what it had
to bestow. True, it has allowed
some whose words will be potential
80 long as truth can persuade the
human intellect or eloquence touch
the human heart, to live unhonored
and die neglected. But in the main
it has awarded them no unjust
share of fame and fortune. To
that class of toilers, however, with
out whose patience and skill the
pen of the ready writer, were but a
slow means of communicating
thought, it has been less liberal. A
large army of men and boys and
young women are now engaged
with busy fingers and nerves under
continued tension in furnishing the
reading public with the printed
sheet. In the morning they begin
their tasks with the early dawn
that the business man may have a
fresh sheet when he gathers around
his fireside at evening. But when
busy crowds have left the streets
and reunited families are enjoying
the luxuries of home, the printer
still tolls by lamplight that the
morning paper be not wanting.
These are not Ill paid as far as dol
lars and cents go. The composing
stick is pretty sure, but not an
easy, means of winning ones
bread. But they receive little of
the honor, considering how much
they do for the pleasure of indiyid-
uals and for the progress of society.
When weafeel the happiness of our
lives enhanced By the iperusal of
some charming work, we cherish
gratitude for the genius that so fit
Jingly set the thoughts to words
that they elevate US with emotions
of beauty. But we scarcely think
OF the patient toll that is required
to print those words that the read
ing of them would obe a pleasure.

ing his cramped and crooked chi.

printer must dc this. He must,
TOO, bear the blame of the write,ss

though he is allowed to share none
of his praise for sound logic or
brilliant rhetoric. The world can
not honor its printers too much.
