HE MARRIED FOR LOVE.

A man who has married for love is
happy fellow. He is generally
cheerful, and always thinking of the
dear ones at home. He prefers to
live out of town for the sake of his
children. He is rarely late at bust
ness, rises early, gardens little,
eats a hearty breakfast, and goes to
the necessary labour with light
heart and a clean conscience. He
often brings home pleasant surprises
for his wife and children. You may
recognise him in trains loaded with
parcels, which he good-naturedly
carries with perfect unconcern OF
what others think-a new bonnet,
music. books, cloak for his wife;
while in another parcel the wheels of
a cart, jack-in-the- box, a doll, or
skipping-rope protrude through the
paper, and suggest the nursery. He
is brave and kind, though he makes
no noise in the world. The human
Using influence of that darling red
checked little fellow who calls him
father brings a glow of rapture of
the purest pleasure earth holds; for
the man who has never felt tiny
hand clasp his will always lack some
thing-he will be less human, less
blessed than others. This is the
noble, the honest, the only form of
life that imparts real contentment
and Joy, that will make death-bed
glorious, and love see peace through
its tears. 1t is so purely unselfish,
so tenderly true it satisfies the high.

the best deeds they arc capable Of

ball pool have been drafted, the main
features of which are the doing away
with safety play, the calling Of balls or
pockets and the forcing of the play ers
to burst the pyramid of balls from the
opening stroke. The game under the
new rules will be introduced to the pub
lie through tournament which will be
held in Madison Square Hail, New York,
commencing January 9TH. A line is
drawn across the table at the third dia-
mond sights on the side cushion rails,
counting from the foot of the table, and
the player opening the game is COM
PEELED to drive two balls above this line,
or one or more balls into the pocket;
failure to do this being penalized by
scratch, five points being deducted from
his score instead of three as under the
old rules. After the opening play the
following players must drive one or
more object balls to a cushion or into a
pocket or else forfeit five points from
their score. There can be no safety
play after a foul has been committed,
and the calling of balls and pockets, is
done away with.
