Popping the Question.

A rather fast young man, becoming
enamored OF pretty girl, finally decid-
Q 4 to make her formal offer of his
hand and heart-all he was wOrth-and
then he hoped to be INDUCED In some
lover-like demonstrations, the lady
being 40 far coolly Indifferent in her
manner to ward him.
He attributed this to maidenly re.
serve, for it never occurred to him that
she was not in love with him.
He cautiously prefaced his declara.
ton with few questions, for he had
no intention of throwing himself
away"
Did she love him we'll enough to live
In a cottage with him Was she good
cook and washer Did she think it a
wife's duty to make home happy ?
Would she consult his tastes and wishes
concerning her associates and pursuits
in life +? Was she economical? Could
she make her own clothes, etc. ?
The young lady said that before she
answered his questions she would as.
sure him of some negative virtues she
possessed.
She never drank or smoked never
owed bill to her laundress or tailor +;
never stayed out all night playing bill
liards never lounged on the pier ogled
ogled giddy girls;never INDUCED in::wine
suppers.
"Now." said she, rising Indignantly,
II am assured by those who know that
you do all those things, and it is rather
absurd for you to expect all the virtues
in me while you do not possess any of
them yourself. | can never be your
wife,"
And she bowed him out, and left him
on the doorstep, a madder if not a wiser
man.

Think For Yourself,

Don't believe even half of what you
read. Don't believe anything as regards
thought, opinion, or assertion till you've
run it through the mill of your own
Judgment and seen if it emerges
without flaw. Remember that a book
is generally one mans talk on paper.
Remember that his conclusions and de-
ductions are often based on other mems
statements, which time may prove
partly or wholly wrong. Remember
that it is AZ easy to err with the pen as
with the tongue. Remember that for
two men to give the same account Of
the event Of which both are witnesses.
is extremely rare. Remember that no
conscientious scribe can read what he
wrote twenty-five years ago without
finding many opinions and assertions
which will make him squirm and feel
like hunting for hole to hide his head
in. Reme,n Der that the man, be he a
writer or not, who all his days sticks to
one opinion, simply because 1t is his
opinion, ceases to grow intellectually y
and imprisOns himself in his own dog.
matism. Remember that the man who
is searching for the truth must give up
his mistaken convictions, no matter
how dear they may be to him, or ow
sorely it may hurt his pride to own up
that he has been mistaken.

Conversation at Home.

Endeavor to always talk your best
before your children. They hunger
perpetually for new ideas. They will
learn with pleasure from the lips of
parents what they deem 1t drudgery to
study in books and, even if they have
the misfortune to be deprived of many
educational advantages, they will grow
up intelligent if they enjoy In child
hood the privilege of lis'ening daily to
the conversation of intelligent people.
We sometimes see parents W ho are the
life of every company which they
enter, dull, silent and uninteresting at
home among their children. If they
have not mental activity and mental
stores sufficient for both, let them first
use what they have for their own house
holds. A silent home Is a dull place
for young people-a place from which
they will escape if they can. How
much useful information, on the other
hand, is often given in pleasant family
con versation, and what unconscious but
excellent mental training in lively
social argument Cultivate to the
utmost the graces of conversation.

CaFefu In esss

Negligent handiwork paves the way
for listless brain work.
Most of the slipshod, uncertain cal
culations made by clerks and others
which require continual checking and
correcting and involve loss Of time,
temper, and money, are due to the
equally slipshod habits of using their
eyes and hands into which they have
drifted.
Every employment. even those de-
manding literary, scientific, and artistic
abilities, is thronged with inefficient
laborers who have never learned to do
any one thing thoroughly and well.
Had their eyes and hands been train.
ed in childhood to some definite occupa-
tion, had they been taught accuracy,
neat ness, dispatch in any one of the
numerous branches of manual work,
it is more than probable the habits thus
engendered would have rescued then
f ON the sad fate of heing prottless IL
other de 'a"ments OF lite.

Always Lucky.

A belief in luck is injurious to the
believer. The notion of natural order
of events, followed regardless of per.
sons, substitutes for the illusion of luck
the truth of :. mere coincidence between
what we like and what results. Such
favorable condolences when not read
Alright have wrecked the lives of some
men who might otherwise have de-
veloped useful powers. A careful study
of such fortunate turn of events re.
veals some unpleasant but irresistible
facts-that sustained favorable coin
cidence is very rare, and likely to be of
doubtful permanent value, because
there is not proper development of
personal quality whereby no injury
will result from prosperity.
The fortunate person tries to swim in
sea of new conditions which he has
not reached by natural process OF
growth. The phrase "always lucky" !"
is open to two objections not easily set
aside, owing to the profound complex
ity of events; that the person may
have skill, tact agreeableness and that
there may be error, owing to the special
or restricted view Of the person judging.
Belief in luck is directly and practi-
cally Objectionable, because it leads to
submission in matters requiring action.

Another Good Man GONE Wrong.

HAGERsTOwN, Md, April 90 John
Cameron, of Indian Spring District,
Washington County, who was a deacon
in the church for over twenty years, and
who was respected and had the conf.
dence of the community, disappeared
on Friday in company with Mrs. John
d. Barr, whose husband is a cripple.
Cameron, who had been giving his at
tention to farming and the sale OF agri.
cultural implements, requested Mrs.
Barr to assist his wife with some sew
ing, to which she consented upon the
advice of her husband. On Friday
Mrs. Barr left her home for the purpose
of going to help Mrs. Cameron to sew.
On the way she met Cameron who was
going in an opposite direction. She
entered his buggy. and together they
went to Hancock, where he sold the
team. He also bought suit of clothes
on credit, after which they crossed the
river, and, 1t is stated, took the first
train west on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. Nothing further has been
heard of them, but it is the general
belief that they have gone to Canada,
where Cameron has lived. He borrow
cd several hundred dollars from neigh.
bors. Mrs. Barr has two children.
