In new play by Alexander Dumas,
called "Denise," one of the characters
enunciates the following sentiment,
which should be written in letters of
gold: "Do you want to know what is
absolute truth? 1t is to respect the
first woman you have known and loved
your mother-in all the other women
you may meet hereafter. 1t is not to
make them fall if they stand high-not
to drag them lower if they are debased
already; it is to associate yourself for
life with only one woman, your wife,
and to have but one motive in marriage
love. This is truth. All that bor-
rows the name and is not this, has been
invented to suit sociey which Is ct
once elegant and dissolute."

Tho Increase of celibacy.

Mr.. Dana has indulged in some rel
Elections on the increase OF celibacy I'M
New England and the Middle States,
His reflections are not without interest ::
Formerly in New England bache-
lor of thirty or more was marked in
dividual, and especially in the smaller
towns was subjected to both ridicule,
and censure. Public opinion was Of
Tended when man went much beyond
the manageable age without taking 4
wife, and he was pretty sure to become
butt or an object of suspicion among
his neighbors. But now all that is
changed wherever there are not many
foreigners in community. There is
an actual and proportionate decrease
in the number of marriages, and the
falling off was greater last year than ever
before. The Connecticut town clerks
say that at least one-half of the young
men between twenty-one and thirty are
unmarried, whereas formerly nine I'M
ten married before they were twenty
six. OF course, the reason for this
disposition to put off marriage is the
conviction of the young men that they
can accumulate more money, or get
more personal comfort, by SO delaying.
They do not want to be hampered by q
wife and family while they are laying
the foundations of fortune, but are
waiting until they get an income large
enough to enable them to live nicely,
The longer they wait, the less are they,
disposed to assume matrimonial respon-i
sibilities, for few of them get the amount
of money they think they need to sup
port II family, and their personal wants
are likely to 90 on increasing with their
incomes. This state of things is not at
all peculiar to Connecticut. Through
out New England the age at which men
marry is growing greater, if the foreign
population be excepted, and the number
of those who remain single through life
is large, and continually increasing.
The towns are full not only of old maids,
but OF bachelors too; and instead of
being the butt of ridIcule, young man
who refrains from marriage until he is
well settled in life is looked upon as q
sensible and prudent fellow. The same
disposition to delay marriage, or to
Keep out of it altogether, is strikingly
displayed in New York, where the
lumber of clubs and of club members
las greatly increased of late years be-
'ause of it. These young men are able
o get luxuries and elegances at their
'lubs which they could not expect to
'rovide at their own homes if they were
married, and they will rather forego
carriage than give them up. 1t would
e all very we'll if they could get wives
nth portions which permitted the con-
lnuance of such self indulgence, but few
them are able to do that. As BACH
lors they can live off the fat of the land,
ress with elegance, and enjoy social
ayeties, to which they know that they
re welcomed with the more eagerness
ecause they are single. As married
len their income would force them to
We with the closest economy, or what
ley would regard as such.

The beautiful house of Leland STAN
ford, in San Francisco, is more like a
mausoleum than home. Seldom is its
threshold pressed by q stranger, while
by those who have penetrated here the
occasional actions OF the master and its
mistress are described as most strange.
She drags herself through the cold cor
riiors and lonely rooms, wringing her
hands and moaning, "All is DESERT"
while he wanders aimlessly about, a
sad, Respondent and broken hearted
man. Pictures of the dead boy are
seen of every size and on every side and
lend additional horror to the scene.
There are already twelve or fifteen in
place, eight of which, by Bonnat, of
Paris, are twice lifesize and are most
horrible ibels on the painters art. The
cost of these portraits is between $780,
300 and $40. 900.

Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bought
In youth it sheltered me,
And I'll protect it now.
Twas my forefather's hand
That placed 1t near his cot;
There, woodman, let 1t stand;
Thy Ak shall harm il not
That old familiar tree,
Whose glory and renown
Are spread Ger land and sea
And woulds't thou hack it DOWN.
Woodman, forbear thy strokel
Cutnot its earth bound ties;
O, spare that aged oak,
Now towering to the skiesi
When but an idle boy
sought its grateful shade;
In all their gushing joys,
Here, too, my sisters played
Ny mother kissed me here;
Ny father pressed my hand
Forgive the foolish tear;
But let that old oak stand
Ny heart strings round thee cling,
Close as thy bark, old friend;
Here shall the wild-bi sing,
And still thy branches bend
Old tree the storm still brave!
And, woodman, leave the spot;
While I've a hand to save,
Thy ak shall harm it not

black and love over it it is erected canopy Of the
