MIDST OF a good story, or Just as the
point OF some good anecdote has been
arrived at, the stupid bartender gets
the orders mixed up and has to ask
everybody over again or forgets what
you ordered. He interrupts you without
the slightest conjunction of con-
science, and the whole of your story
is knocked in the head. He never
remembers the sort OF drink you like.

''Drlve gently owe the stonesi"
This piece OF advice, which is frequent
ly given tc inexperienced whips, may
be respectfully suggested to the newly
married. There are stony places on
the road to happiness, which, if not
carefully driven over, may upset tile
domestic coach. The first rock ahead
which should be marked s.danper-
GUS, is the first year of married life.
Here, especially, it is the first step
that costs; as a rule, the first wear
either mars or makes Il marriage.
During this period errors may be com
m'tted which will cast a shadow over
every year that follows.
On awakening suddenly from sleep
we feel put out and rather cross.
May not the young husband and wife
experience feelings not entirely differ
ent when they awake to reality from
the dreams of courtship and the fas-
cination Of the honeymoon. Every
thing must once more be cuntem-
plated after the ordinary manner of
the world. once more with subdued
feelings spoken of, considered and
settled. For the first time husband
and wife see each other as thew
actually are. Each brings certain pc
cullarities into the married state TO
which the other has to grow accus-
toned. They have now to live no
longer for themselves, but for each
other. and the lesson is not learned IN
u moment. In all things Indifferent
the husband and wife must be willing
to yield, however new it may be to
them, however different from what
they themselves thought. Self must
be sacrificed in order thereby to eain
the help of another beloved existence.

explanation of many an acct
that takes place at the com
mencement of the matrimonial Jour
ney. The young couple have not vet
the dangerous places of the
road, and, as n consequence, they
drive carelessly over them.-1Ne

The IDEAL Iarriage.
m n Rost,n Minister's Sermon.

= FROM u bpSltI II = hSt
He preached, in response to many
special requests, on Marriage, taking
for his ext Genesis ii, 21-24. He said
the subject OF marriage was taken be-
cause Gifts intrinsic Importance and Its
fundamental relations to all social or
der. Thecommunity arenownfearofa
coming pestilence that will bring death
and destruction in the summer. Ell
forts are being made to ward OF tins
enemy and prevent its fearful work,
but at the same time another pestl-
lence is on the way and it's black fringe
is touching us. 1t is far more danger
Gus than any other conceivable one,
from the fact that it menaces the home,
the greatest Of all institutions. In
Massachusetts in 1860 there was n
divorce to fifty marriages, in 1876 one
to every twenty, and in 1888 one to
everyfourteen. In New England2,O 900
families are brokenupby divorce every
year.
This alone is an appalling state OF
Affairs. Along with the increase IN
divorce moral poison has increased.
In the period between 1S6O-7Odivorce
increased two and one-half times in
frequency, while crimes against chastity
and morality increased three-fold.
The question then comes: Has not
l%ooseness OF legislation fostered loose
ness OF social life, and how long will it
take to bring the ratio OF divorce to
marriage to an equity? Then the
home us an institution will be de-
stroyed, and the millennium OF hell
will be here. The marriage bond is
sinking in the public estimation to a
mere civil contract, and there
needsto be a rcassertion OF the divine
origin OF marriage. The Roman Catho-
lie church Is not responsible for
any OF this state OF affairs, be it Said
to itscredit. Tlleditliculty is, that sub
ordinate reasons of a profane nature
have undermined the sacred element.
Marriage has become the stepping
stone to improve family connections,
to gain admission to society, to gain
power, and many like things. The
young MAJ looks for wealth, the girlto

Than Ginning waters now,
Tell me the love thou feelesi
