He goeth forth in the merning,
warbling like the lark, and is knock

In the midst of life he is in debt,
and the tax collector pursueth him
wherever he goeth.
The banisters of life is full of
splinters, and he slideth down with
considerable rapidity.
He walketh forth in the bright
sunlight to absorb ozone, and meet
eth the bank teller with a sight

He cometh home at eventide and
meeteth the wheelbarrow and it
rising up and smiteth him to
the earth, and falleth upon him and
runneth one of its legs into his ear
In the gentle spring time he put
teth on his summer clothes, and a
blizzard striketh far away from
home, and filleth hia with woe and
rheumatism.
He layeth up riches in the bank,
and the president speculateth in
margins and then goeth to Canada
for his health.
In the autumn he putteth on his
winter trousers and a wasp that
abideth in them filleth him full of
intense excitement.
He starteth down-cellar with an
oleander, and goes first hastily and
the oleander cometh after him and
sitteth upon him.
He sitteth up all night to get the

The Hen En- sinass.

A pen and ink wrestler has united a
book and let it loose upon the patient
people which bears the title ''HoW To-
make $500 a year from u hens - We
tried this ge tting rich out of the hen
business last year, and while it looks
nice and pretty in gilt letters on blue
binding to save $500 year from u
hens, our experience was different
We secured last spring collection of
six lady hens and mBle companion
and donnie led them in an extensive
hen pasture in the rear of our premises.
We figured it all out that with six eggs
day, and an occasional vacation which
would be paid for in chickens, we
would soon have money enough to 90 to
Europe or run for office. Early in the
season the Brown Leghorn troops

with the idea of getting a safe to put
our egg money in. just ct this juno
ture. corn stepped up to 81 bushel,
and our hens ceased laying and turned
all their attention to their appetite,
During the interim (interim is a
word that we found in the office when
we bought it) one of our hens had sue

ton told US would make excellent

than four " eeks every one of the little

telling OF our midnight ramble in the
deWy maZes OF our garden, clad in mod

filled with animosity toward that
skunk. We draw a curtain over that
scene.
When fall came, and after we had
bought eggs TO iced ourselves and corn

tired from the hen business, and we
have make up our minds that it takes
something more than a book and a
dozen hens TO make $500 q year. OF
course, there are hen artists who can
play the game for all it is worth aud
make it pay, but for a greenhorn to
think that "a hens are worth a cool

To Those Contemplating Matrimcny

Before you give your heart and
hand in holy alliance use all eau
tion; inquire outside as to habits,
explore the disposition, scrutinize
tho taste, question the ancestry, and
find out the ambitions. Do not
take the heroes and heroines of
cheap novels for a model. Do not
put your lifetime happiness in the
keeping of man who has a reputa-
tion Of being a little loose in morals
or in the keeping of woman who
dresses fast. Remember that while
good looks are kindly gift of God,
wrinkles or accident may despoil
them. Remember that Byron was
no more celebrated for his beauty
than for his depravity. Remember
that Absaiom's hair was not more
splendid than his habits were de-
spicable. Hear 1t, hear it: The
only foundation for happy marriage
that ever has been or ever will be
is good character. Ask father and
mothers counsel in this most i'm
portant step of your life. They
are good advisers. They are the
best friends you ever had. They
made more sacrifices for you than
any one else ever did, and they will
do more to-day Tor your happiness
than any other people. Ask them,
and above all ask God. / used to
smile at John Brown of Haddington
because, when he was about to offer
his hand and heart to one who be-
came his lifelong companion, he
opened the conversation by saying:
''Let US pray" But hove seen SO
many shipwrecks on the sea of mat
rimony, have made up my mind
that John Brown of Haddington
was right. A union formed in
prayer will be a happy union, though
sickness pale the cheek and poverty
empty the bread-tray and death
open the small graves and all the
path of life be strewn with thorns,

SONS, clear on down to the last
farewell at that gate where Isaac
and Rebecca, Abraham and Sarah,
Adam and Eve, parted. And let
me say to you who are in this rela-
ton, if you make one man or wo-
man happy you have not lived in
vain. Christ says that what He is
to the church you ought to be to
each other; and if sometimes
through difference of opinion or
difference of position you make up
your mind that your marriage was
a mistake, patiently bear and for
bear, remembering that life at
the longest is short, and that for
those who have been badly mated

Gov. Cleveland makes a most IA
vorable impression personally, as
he has made officially. He IS an
unaffected, straightforward gentle
man, who at once begets respect
and confidence. The World says:
"When he received the news of
his nomination from Chicago he was
hard at work with Adjt.- Gen. Farms
worth and Col. Lamont in the exec
utive chamber examining a batch
of papers relative to the Peekskill
encampment. During the whole
time occupied by the convention in
voting he did not receive a single
special message from Chicago.
When news was finally brought
from the Albany Argus Office that
he had received the nomination, the
three gentlemen exchanged re-
marks of pleasant character, and
the governor smilingly said: well,
anyhow, we'll finish up this work
A few minutes later he requested
his secretary to telephone the news
to his sister at the executive man
sion. All this is very Characters
ic of Grover Cleveland. His whole
career has been marked by the
same simple, hearty manner, entire
ly devoid Of melodramatic display,
and no amount of personal good
fortune was ever known to make
him intermit the performance of a
duty. He is a plain, old fashioned

returned thanks in five modern Ian
guages, and repeated the Lords
Prayer in Greek, Latin and Hebrew.
He was very fine mathematician
and a good naturalist. He was
ashamed to beg and did not know
how to work. A fine set of books
in uniform and very costly binding
attracted the attention of a gentle
man who was passing down Fourth
avenue, New York, some weeks ago.
He found that they con stituted the
five prizes offered by famous En-
glish school, and they had all been
awarded to the same person. He
learned that the books had been
sold by the prize-taker to obtain
the means of existence.
Instances of the kind
above mentioned might be multi
piled. They go to show that what
is called a superior education is of
inferior value in getting a living.
1t is often argued that superior
education does not prevent one

listening to lectures does nothing

the intellect does not

our so-called agricultural colleges
show that the graduates do not be-

that the girls who graduate at our
free high schools do not work.
Those who cannot obtain situa-
lions as teachers do not succeed as
