wedding Days.

"When young man gets the craze on. -
an old spinster said recently, "he IS good
for nothing--nothng except his girl. His
mind runs on his charmer; his friends are
bored to death with the narration of her
perfections; the postman of her district
swears mentally as he leaves her two or
three letters a day; married relatives are
ANNOYED with his frequent questionlngs in
regard to the cost of housekeeping. In TACT
when youth has craze on, as l say, he is
good for nothing. Ifyou want him to take
you anywhere he has mysterious engage
ment. We all know that it is some ap,,
pointment, but he maintains an air OF
mysterious superiority comical in the ex.
treme. If he quarreis with his girl he comes
home with the blues, and the next morning
appears at the breakfast.table surly and
cross, looking seemingly on all womankind
as mortal enemies. They are no good when
in that condition and the sooner. they get
married the better. Why girls marry,
though, | can't see. wouldn't tag myself
| wouldn't, for / think they are horrid
mean anyhow. They are perfect fools-the
more Eighty girl is the quicker they are
caught, and If there are two or three after
the same girl they seem to take great pleas
ure in cutting each other ont, wouldn't
have any one of them looking to me for
care and comfort" sne said. as she edged
her chair closer to the reporter to impress
the fact ON him.
Come, Aunty," said Gus, a member Of
| the family, "you know that when you were
young you had more beaus running to the
house IN one evening than any OF the girls
of the present day have in week." The
old lady laughed merrily as she .gazed
fondly at her nephew. Perhaps ! was
foolish when was young, but II the Morn

Gus" the old lady said, as she left the
room, with merry twinkle OF her eye.
"Well, / declare" said the victim, II

them. visited my girl nightly and wrote
her at least once DAY. 1t is true L often

they tease him. However, IL is pleasure to
them. and / suppose they enjoy putting
their bCaus on the rack, as they seem to
like to feel the power they have over them.
Courtships, however, are pretty much the
snmo all the world over, but tell you as
the wedding day approaches the young
man gets nervous. He has all the arrange
ments TO make with the minister. His
tailor occupies q great deal OF attention, for
wedding suits, you know, must be faultless:
