Choosing a Husband

Mixed with the humof and non.
sense OF the following selections are
many shrewd aud valuable ,ints r.
s'ssss .;eiss' s ;nsrss.s are
prone to thoughts of love.
First, catch your lover.
HOLD him when you have him.
Don't let go of him to catch every
new one that comes along.
Try to get pretty well acquainted
with him before you take him for
life.
Unless you intend to support him,
ma out whether he earns enough TO
support you.
Don't make up your mind that he
is an angel.
Don't palm yourself off on him as
one, either.
Don't let him spend his salary ON
you that right should be reserved
till after marriage.
Ii you have conscientious scruples
against marrying man with moth-
er, say so in time, that he may get
rlo OF her to oblige you, or rid of
you TO oblige her, as he thinks best.
If you object to secret societies and
Tobacco, it is better to come out with
your objections now than to reserve
them for curtain lectures hereafter.
Ii your adorer happens to fancy a
certain shade of hair, don't color or
bleach to oblige him. Remember
your hair belongs to you and he
dosen't.
BE very sure it is the man you are
in love with, and not the clothes he
wears. Fortune and fasion are both
so tickle, it is foolish to take stylish
suit of clothes for better or worse.
If you intend to keep three SER
wants after marriage, settle the mat
ter beforehand. The man who is
making love to you may expect you
TO do your own washing.
Don't try to hurry a proposal by
carrying on filtration with some
other fellow. Different men are made
OF different material, and the one you
want may go off in a fit of jealousy
and forget to come back.
Ii you have love letter to write.
don't copy it out of a "letter- writer"
Ii your young man ever happened to
consult the book he would know
your sentiments were borrowed.
Don't marry a man to oblige any
third person in existence. 1t is your
right to suit yourself in the matter.
But remember at the same time that
love is blind, and a little friendly ad-
vice from one whose advice is worth
having may insure you a lifetime of
happiness or prevent one of misery.
In love affairs always keep your
eyes wide open, so that when the
right man comes along you may see
him.
When you do see him you will rec
ognize him and the recognition will
be mutual.
If you have no fault to find with
him personally, morally, religiousIy,
or any other way, he is probably per-
feet enough to suit you, and you can
afford to believe him, hope in him,
love him. marry him.

draw tho mind from the original and in
tended position given it by the Creator. But
the Bible says, BE ye all of one mind, and
the common phrase, "Many men of many
minds" is no doubt deducted from this
Scriptural text. These different minds
must be individualized and brought
to resemble as near as possible
the perfect type. They must be nodded after
the mind ofGod. The matter to solve is-what
the nature of the mind of Jesus is; its periec-
tion cannot be comprehended. His mind is
the seat of wisdom, love, mercy, Justice, and
truth in n degree not to be comprehendcd or
attained by that Of the human mind. To at
tain this standard we must one and all have
compassion one with another. COMPASSION
causes us to deal gently and kindly with our
brethren and their facilities and weak
nesses.
Tho reverend gentleman finished by ex-
horting all to be of one mind-have compass
sion one with anothor-saying that only he
who believes in the Word and the Son of God
can have this compassion in its most perfect
sense. He urged his hearers to so have it and
practice 1t that they might receive compass
sion from God, their Father in Heaven.
Tho music at the morning service was well
chosen and exceptionally well rendered, par
ticularly the trio from "Atilla," which was
sung at the oflertory by Miss Jennie Cutler,
Messrs. II. G. Pearson, and +. j. Woodman;
Millard's TIE Deum in i and Dank's Jubilate in

FAMILY PRAYER.

ITS IMPORTANCE SHOWN By REV. JOHN M
LEAN AT THE FOURTH PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH. . .r| .HNti- .-
Rev. John Mclean delivered an interesting
discourse yesterday at the Fourth Presby
teran church from Joshua xiv, 10, " But as
for me and my house we will serve the Lord"
This sublime declaration of the Jewish
leader shows the Importance attached by him
TO the formal recognition and assumption of
religious principles by heads of families.
These claims and responsibilities rest upon
men individually and socially. There is emf
nent reason and necessity Tor religious culture
within the family circle, since this is the
source whence emanate principles Of good or
evil to the body polite. We do not mean
that there should be simply service of set
forms and phrases, but spiritual acts, divine
worship, such rs may be suited to circum-
stance and surroundings. 1t is patent fact
that family instruction and prayer are too
much neglected in these days Bible learn
ing is rare among the children of the
churches, and they neglect the house of God.
The authoritative inculcation of religious
truth by heads of families rests on two
grounds:
/. Duty to God, our creator, preserver, and
benefactor; the fountain of life aud light,
the founder of this temporal life, and the
shapcr of our immortal destiny. From His
hand came this physical frame, the wonder
full universe, and to Him is due the hopes of
endless beatitude beyond this life. There.
fore, considered from the lowest aspect of
duty, we ought to worship God.
God intends, from the nature of things, to
hold heads of families individually and So
| cially responsible. Religion is the grand con-
servator of the family, safeguard against
depraved propensities.
.. Religion of some sort s regarded by all
men and nations as Of personal advantage.
| Especially is this true Of the Christian ro-
| ligion, which teaches correct notions of the
Deity, elevates the race, and raises it in the
| scale of being. 1t is the crowning character
istic of the honorable man.
! An eminent jurist closed his eulogy upon n
noted member of the bar in these words {:
And may 1t please the court, he lived and
died a Christian man."
| Thus we become more assimilated to the
| character of God-purer and better in life.
| Old things become new. Sin appears hateful.
| Heaven Is lOnged for as the end and aim, the
| full fruction OF all the soul most desires and
| yearns for.
We should desire our children to be thus
elevated, ennobled, and purified; nor can we
| safely neglect the preparation of godly gem
Grafton. For this there is no substitute, nor
| is there any excuse for neglect. The ancestry
of our church reared an altar of sublime and
simple worship to the Maker of heaven and
earth. In their devoted service friend aud
foe found much to touch the heart and kinde
admiration. The halo Of glory shOne round
about many II hamlet Bright angels on
wings of light bore aloft to tho gracious
throne the story of happy Christlike lives.
How shall we escape if we neglect Sc
