A Happy Life.

A man who has married for love is a
happy fellow. He is generally cheer
full, and always thinking about the dear
ones at home. He prefers to live out
of town for the sake of his children.
He is rarely late at business, rises ear
ly, gardens little, eats hearty break
fast, and goes to the necessary labor
with light heart and clean conscience.
He often brings home pleasant sur
prises for his wife and children. You
may recognize him in trains loaded with
parcels, which he good-naturedly ear
ries with perfect unconcern of what
others think-a new bonnet, music,
books, cloak for his wife; while in an
other parcel the wheels of a cart, a
jack -the-box, doll or skipping rope
protrude through the paper, and sug-
gest the nursery He is brave and
kind, though he makes no noise in the
world. The humanizing influence of
that darling redcheeked little fellow
who calls him father brings glow and
rapture of the purest pleasure earth
holds; for the man who has never felt
a tiny hand clasp his will always lack
something-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 deathbed glorious, and
love see peace through its tears. 1t is
so purely unselfish, so tenderly true it
satisfies the highest instincts 1t stimu-
lates men to the best deeds they are
capable of.

The Grandeur OF the Colosseum.

1t is impossible to be disappointed in
the Colosseum, no matter how exalted
have been ones expectations, writes a
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Bulletin. Nothing in Rome can in
any way compare with this magnificent
ruin, of which enough of the original
structure remains to show clearly what
it was In bygone ages, and to fill the
spectator with admiring awe. 1t is
not yet surrounded by cheap-looking
houses, wine shops and provision
booths; the city has not yet crept quite
close up to its walls; it stands in
dignified solitude, the most impressive
symbol of the greatness and power of
Rome. We visited it first on still,
sunny morning From thousand in
terstices in the old walls sprang wild
flowers, ferns and running vines, and
birds sing sweetly as they dart in and
out through the arches, tame and fear
less. We sat down on block of marble
in the center of the arena, and recalled
the old, old stories of the deeds of valor
and of blood done within these walls SO
many ages ago, and felt that here in
deed is ancient Rome. But why, why
did Mark Twain, the cleverest of
iconoclasts, suggest the similitude be-
tween the Colosseum, as we see it now,
and "a bandbox with piece bitten out
of the side?" For the idea rises in my
mind the moment 1 come within sight
of the mighty pile, and the comparison
is SO absurdly excellent as to excite
ones risibles in spite of the profoundly
solemn aspect of the Colosseum.

How to Start an Echo.

We cannot vouch for the truth of the
following story, but an Austin gentle
man said he was an eyewitness of the
occurrence. He was on steamboat on
the Hudson river with party of ex-
cursionists. The boat stopped at a
place in the river where there is is won
derful echo. One of the gentlemen
asked everybody in the crowd for a
pistol with which to wake up the
echoes. Nobody had any pistol, but a
gentleman from Arkansaw said that he
had something that was darned sight
more reliable than pistol, and, pulling
out of his boot knife with thirteen
inch blade, handed it over to the party
who wanted to stir up the echoes.

Mexican Stores.

On entering dry goods emporium,
you will find large number of clerks,
entirely out of proportion to the size of
the establishment, most of whom are
employed doing nothing. After wait
ing for some time, one will approach
you with the most nonchalant air, and
ask what you want in tone of voice,
however, which implies that he makes
the inquiry merely out of consideration
for you, and not because he has any in
terest whatever in the answer. When
your want is made known-and you
must be assured in your own mind AZ to
the width, quality and color of the
goods required-he will depart, appar-
emily in quest of the material; how sad
is your mistake, however, if you expect
a speedy return, for on the way he will
stop to play with somebody's baby or
to hold long conversation with one of
his fellow clerks, or to take half an
hours puff at his beloved cigar, and
sometimes, during an unusually lengthy
period of suspense, we have been
tempted to believe that he INDUCED in
a siesta. At last, when body and spirit
are both nearly exhausted you will
perhaps succeed in finding the stuff for
your dress; but this, you soon discover,
is only the beginning of your troubles !;
you ask for buttons and are told to seek
them in fancy store on the next block !;
for needles, pins, hooks and eyes-they
are to be found in hardware estab-
hshment around the corner; for thread
it is kept at another shop several
squares off; for black sewing silk-that
can be bought only where machines are
sold; for ribbon-and are answered
with a look of surprise at your ignor-
ance that such thing is never to be
met with in dry goods store. BY the
time you have hunted up these articles
in their various appropriate places and
have been subjected to the same delays
and annoyances on every side, you will
be ready to agree with us in saying that
Mexican stores and clerks are institu-
tons peculiarly obnoxious to Ameri-
cans.-NelC Orleans Times-Democrdt.

Georgia Thrift.

Young men who think they must ac-
cumulate fortune before marrying,
and who are fretting because of their
inability to do so, will be somewhat sur
prised and consoled to learn that one of
our most substantial farmers, on being
married twelve years ago, had to borrow
the money to pay for his marriage
license, and, not having n decent suit of
clothes, the young lady whom he was
to marry tore the wool from sheep
skin, spun, wove and made him suit of
clothes, and he is now worth 50, 600, and
any merchant in the county would jump
at a chance TO sell him goods on time

Home Life Is Changing.

The conditions of home life are
changing rapidly. Instead of the love
eff home being inculcated in the rising
generation of children, they are left to
the care of strangers, while the father
is struggling with ambitions, perhaps
beyond his reach. And the mother, en-
crossed with her ambition to be re-
cognized in society, not for her social or
moral attributes, but as q leader of
fashion, money is squandered to APP
pear to people (who care nothing for
you) different from what you know you
are. Home duties are neglected for
show. Children grow up without proper
principles being instilled in them.
Every one is in grand race and
scramble for wealth, and for what pur-
pose? Only to crafty the insensate
passion for position and display.
And thus the coming generation will
come to the surface, making home
desolate for the want of proper APP
probation of the real value of living.
All! the old way is the best-line upon
line and precept upon precept. Those
principles will make better men and a
more glorious nation, whereas the pres
ent course will eventually destroy all
the better qualities of the man and
plunge the country into chaos and con-
fusion. Other nations have tried it in
times past and gone to the wall; for
with wealth comes luxury and luxurious
ease and ways and gradual breaking
down of the barriers, until private
worth is swallowed up in plumber, which
will finally pull down the entire fabric.

Parental Responsibility.

Your child is not your child in the
sense in which it is commonly under
stood to be. 1t is not only connected
with your life, but with an older and
wider life back of yours. The child is
not only the outgrowth of its fathers
and mothers life, but is the latest mani
festation of larger and wider life
which circles through the arteries of
society. A recognition of these facts
will lead to the conclusion that your
child is not a gift, but merely loan to
you. We are to consider that each
child has significance of it's own,
different from anything that ever before
existed, and our duty is to bring out
that significance.-Pr0f. Adler.
