Fredrika Bremen says: "Many a
marriage has commenced, like the
morning red, and persisted like a
mushroom. Wherefore? Because
the married pair neglected 10 be as
agreeable TO each other after their
union as they were before IT,"
There is no doubt that this Is one
cause Of unhappy marriages. The
first year or two Of married life is
a trying time, but If the union has
been founded on a sincere respect
and affection, and each one Is will
ing 10 sacrifice something 90 the
tastes and wishes TO the other, and
their is no wiring counsel by med
ding friends, each year will bring
the two nearer together III little
differences Of opinion arise, and hot
temper prompts sharp words, the
husband and wife, who truly love
each other, If left 10 themselves will,
In nine cases out of ten, be sorry,
and in n little while ''kiss and be
friends" But il one or the other
goes TO third person for sympa-
thy or advice, the breach is almost
certain TO be widened. The love
which first brought the two togeth
er should be nourished as the most
precious thing in taeir lives. Every
one has their faults, but both hus
band the wife shouldseek to hide the
faults Of the other-to cover them
with the mantle Of charity. II
welded life is commenced right; if
forbearance is practiccd by both the
love that crowns the last years Of
married life will be far purer and
more tender than the first.

Home Eappiness.

One effectual method of running a
young person, is to treat him or her
as an alien in the bosom OF the fam
lily to which they belong, and thus
make them wretched. The happi
ness that is found at home is most
likely to prove enduring and puri-
flying. The poor servants or APP

live under the consciousness there
is no heart in the family where
their lot is cast which sympathises
with theirs, is truly to be pittied.

no familiarity, no sympathy, in the

many n poor girl compelled to go
out to service; and of many a quiet,
deserving and sensitive lad, bound
out as an apprentice. There is
something extremely pitiable in the
case of such persons, who never
know what sympathy is, except
when a Sunday or a holiday per

How Johnson the Kentucky General

In fifteen days his squad had in

he put into execution a movement
that stands for audacity, unrivalled
in that or any other war. At New
burg, Warwick county, Ind, town
of about 900 people, twelve miles
above Evansville, on the Ohio river,
was a garrison composed of a part
of an Indiana regiment, altogether
about $50 men. On the Kentucky

The Break heir-Hearts Young Man

There are certain youths in this
day and generation who consider
themselves thoroughly proficient
in the art susceptible. They pro-
TESS to know all about the futter-
ings going on the feminine breast.
The Break Their Hearts Young
Man is one Of this class. He spends
his time in crushing the little fut-
terers of the opposite sex. His on
ly aim in getting acquainted is for
the purpose of. demolishing the
heart Of his newly made friend.
He considers it very smart to pour
out honey words and act in a sweet
way as to gain the affection of some
unsuspecting girl. He breaks her
heart, or tries to, for the fun of it.
All the pain sorrow and sadness
which may result from his conduct
do not trouble him in the least
that is the business of the Break
Their Hearts Young Man.
1t is fortunate thing that the
Break Their-Hearts Young Man is
very unsuccessful. Only senti
mental girls, as general thing, are
victimized by him. Sensible girls
abhor him, or else toy with him for
the fun of it. He is left severely
alone by those who know what af-
lection really is. They see through
him and know him to be a hollow
mockery. His character won't
stand the least strain-it is to hyp
ocritical and unstable.
The Break Their Heart Young
Man presumes he is a connoisseurin
love making. He is in reality per-
feet i9noramus His conceit leads
him to suppose he conquOrs when
he is defeated. He has no heart. If
he wooes at all, he wooes with his
cheek, and if he wins at all, it is by
means of his overdrawn assurance.

is a fop, fool and a firt If he
was any one of these without the
others it would be bad enough, but
as a combination of the three he is
past endurance. He ought to be

About Hating.

Hate not. 1t is not worth while.
Your life is not long enough to make
it pay to cherish i'll will or hard
thoughts toward any one. What if
this man has cheated you, or that
woman played you false? What if
this friend has forsaken you in time
of need, or that one having won
your utmost confidence, your warm
est love, has concluded that he pre-
fers to consider and treat you as a
stranger? Let it all pass. What
difference will it make to you in a
few years, when you go to the un-
discovered country? A few more
smiles. a few more pleasures. much
pain, little longer hurrying and
worrying through the world, some
hasty greetings, and iabrupt fare
wells, and our play will be "played
out the injured will be led away
and ere long forgotten. Is it wor
thy to hate each other?

Lawyers and Dolay.

Lawyers-some lawyers at least
do much to obstruct and DELAY
the wheels of justice during their
lives, and even in their death they
are made to serve the same i'll pur-
pose. To the ordinary lawyer-in
fact, to almost all lawyers-nothing
save fee is so charming as a delay,
an adjournment, a postponement;
anything that will protract a trial,
or carry over q case, or otherwise
dely decision. So, when a law
yer dies, nowadays, no matter how
pressing may be the business of the
courts, nor how hard delay may
be upon witnesses, jurymen and
clients, the death of the dear de-
parted is made the excuse for an
immediate adjournment Of all the
courts in which he may ever have
practiced, and the whole business of
these tribunals is thus brought to
dead halt for a whole day The
theory of their beloved brother
in the law has so affected the Judges
and the lawyers as to incapacitate
them from the discharge of their
ordinary duties. Their eyes are so
tilled with tears that they can not see
their brief or read their notes, while
their hearts are so soltened by
grief-so "tender," as L. II. once
expressed the same idea, although
in a different nnection-that they
could not bully a witness or prop
erly befog a jury, and that the only
thing left to be done is for each Of
the stricken members of the
fraternity to seek the seclusion Of
his own closet and there pour out
his soul in sorrow. This is the
theory of the business, but the
hard fact concerning it is that the
death is simply made the excuse for
holiday at the expense of the tax
payers and the suitors, ana that in
stead of shedding bitter tears over
the body Of the dead brother, the
survivors, when not engaged in
playing billiards or drinking punch,
are giving their powerful minds TO
speculations concerning how much
of his practice they may gobbler up;
how much money he left, and wheth
er his widow will be likely TO marry
again. This humbug is really "A
grave nuisance, and should be
abated. 1t was only the other day
that the death of an estimablc mem
Der of the bar was made the excuse
for the adjournment during n whole
day of the general term Of the SUI
preme Court, the special term Of the
Supreme Court and the surrogate's
court, while several other courts
likewise suspended their business
and caused postponements of busi-
ness by entertaining motions res
pecting the character Of the de-

tions in his honor. To n lawyer
three things are especially precious
and sweet-a good fat fee, a delay
and the sound Of his own voice.

The process of cooperating
which is now, to great extent tax
ing the place of the old time drying,
is quite simple. The fruit is cored
and cut into slices about one six
teenth of an inch in thickness and
then exposed to the action of sui
phur fumes which prevent fermenta
ton, and then dried by a blast of
heated, dry, air until reduced in
weight about one half The cost of
this process which leaves the fruit
beautifully white, as well as preserv
ing its flavor, is at least twice as
great as the old process of drying
when intelligently managed; but the
saving in weight and the greater eX
cellence of the fruit treated in the
new way fully eompensates for diff
ferences in cost of the process. APP

Keen Your Month Shut

Blessed is the man who knows
enough to keep his mouth shut.
Some people live sixty years with
out learning the art. Indeed,
the older they grow the wider their
mouths open. A man or a woman
who is a gabbler at forty five is a
dreadful affection to a house, or
church or community. There are
two things this age needs to learn
when to say nothing, and when it
says anything to say it well. "If any
man among you seem to be relig-
ious, and bridleth not his tongue,
that mans religion is in vain"

An Ohio Prophet.

Under the caption as He a
Prophet?" the Cincinnati enquirer
publishes a remarkable statement to
the effect that a Cleveland man
warned President Garfield of his i'm
pending death, basing it upon the
grounds that a great conspiration
had been set on foot in Europe for
the overthrow of free government in
this country and the setting up of a
monarchy. He had talks with Gar
field, Hayes, Carl Schurz, Marshall
Henry, and others, all of whom he
greatly impressed. He declared
that Garfield would be shot, and
described the pistol. He further
wrote Mrs. Garfield, and babe her
not buoy herself up with false hopes.
He now says that Guiteau will not
be hanged, but will be killed and
others with him. He is described
as anything but crank"

Take things coolly. Goodness,
.fguratively speaking, is the oil that
makes the cog wheels Of existence
run smoothly. Enthusiasm, impetu-
osity, and hot headed zeal often ac-
eomplish wonders in a moment, but
it is GOODNESS that directs great
enterprises, and lasts, while those
melt away and are forgotten with
their works.
Take things coolly. Never allow
yourself to be carried away by the
fury of a moment. Tt is GOODNESS
that has saved many a mans life in
the hour Of danger, and put out
more fires than all the engines ever
constructed. If you happen to be
aboard steamboat, at the time of
an accident, do not jump overheard
and drown yourself before you are
satisfied that there is any occasion
for the step. If man insults you
in the street, do not make yourself
ridiculous by flying into a passion,
and creating a row about nothing.
If a robber attacks you, do not take
it for granted that he is the strong
est, and leave your property and life
at his disposal, before you have
coolly argued the point with him,
and ascertained whether you have
really any cause to fear him. If
dog approaches you too familiarity,
do not get angry and kick him, or
strike him with your cane, before
you have taken into due considera
ton the merits and sharpness of his
jaws and teeth. If you see a house
tumbling down,d do not allow a panic
to seize you and throw you down
among the ruins, but be cool and
take yourself away from the scense
of danger at as respectable a pace
as possible. In short take all things
as coolly as you can.
