selor thinks it necessary to qualify the
adage by the advice: Mover marry a

the happy medium.
Marrying in haste is certainly worse than
too protracted eourtship; though the lat
ter has its dangers, too, for something may
occur at any time to break the affair off

A lady who has seen much of the world
was asked on one occasion why plain girls
often got married sooner than handsome
ones; to which she replied that it was
owing mainly TO the tact of the plain
girls, and the vanity and want of tact on
the part of men.
GLOW do you make that out ?" asked a
gentleman.
an this way" answered the lady; " the
plain girls flatter the men, and so please
their vanity, while the handsome ones
wait to be fattered by the men, who haven't
the tact to do it."
There have been cases, however, in
which the situation presented here has
been reversed, and plain, even ugly men,
have succeeded in making themselves SO
agreeable to young ladies as to become
their accepted suitors. Here is a case
| in point. When Sheridan first met his
| second wife, who was then 4 Miss Ogle
years of dissipation had sadly disfgured
his once handsome features, and only his
brilliant eyes were left to redeem a nose
and cheeks too purple for beauty. "What
frightw exclaimed Miss Ogle, loud
enough for him to hear. Instead of being
annoyed by the remark, Sheridan at once
engaged in conversation, put forth all his
powers of fascination, and resolved to make
her not only reverse her opinion, but
actually fall in love with him. AT their
second meeting she thought him ugly, but
certainly fascinating. A week or two after
wards he had so far succeeded in his design
that she declared she could not live with
ont him. Her father refused his consent
unless Sheridan could settle el5,000 upon
her, and in his usual miraculous way he
found the money.
Those who have read George Eliots
Felix Holt will remember how Felix,
though himself a rough, unpublished work
man, gained the love Of a refined and deli
cately reared young lady, not by fattering,
or even attempting to please and crafty
her, but by Gliding, depreciating and al
most despising her because she read Byron,
and knew nothing of heavy mental pabu-
lum on which he himself was wont to feed.
She at first was dreadfully vexed and of
Tended but by and by she came to believe
that Felix had grand moral ideal, beside
which her own was frivolous and insignifi-
cant, and striving to emulate his exalted
motives and views of life, she made him
her beau ideal, with, OF course, the usual
result.
In theory or in novel this is no doubt all
very fine, but in everyday life the mode of
procedure adopted by Felix Holt would
be, to say the least, decidedly risky, and
would very probably end disastrously. 1t
is always safer to risk little tiattery.

times brother and sister. SO things
went on, till suddenly Marcia fell
sick. Lucia stayed by her bedside
so much us her work would allow.
That lesson must cease till Marcia
grew better. for she had no other
cIaperoue, and of course it waS I'M
possible for her to 80 without one.
The days seemed to drag slowly
along, and the night-watclling be-
gan to tell on her. She grew paler
and went about sad and musing.
As for Karl, the first time that
Lucia missed her lesson he becaine
rather angry.
ssSle thinks she has learned eve
ly thing, perhaps, and is through
with me-" he muttered.
He trietlto feel INJURED and Danish
her from his mind, and for awhile
he thought he hal succpeded.-
When the long evening came and
he found himself alone. he became
restless and uneasy, and imagined
himself only anxious that nothing
might have hEppenedto Lncia. He
took up his violin, but soon put it
aside, and then he went out TO the
opera-honse. The prima donna was
ont Of voice and the orchestra vile.
Coming home he met one Of the
servants.
''Where is Marciasn he asked.
Very sick, signor."
So that was it. He went gloom
ilv up stairs and went straight to
the mirror and began to apostro
phize his image.
"Macstro Berger, yon are a fool"
he said quietly. 'noweyer poor
she may be, she is still confess and
yon are only-Karl Berger" and
he took up his violin and commenc
ed to play. But with ali his self
restraint he found the days very
long and tireSome.
One night Lucia sat alone in the
room when she heard Carl's violin.
He WAS telling his story Of love, un-
consciously, to the one from whom
he intended to hide it. As the girl /
sat there in the darkness, holding
Marcia'S hand, she felt strangely I
happy and quiet. Suddenly Marcia
opened her eyes.
"Lnca," she said, 81 am ever so

The proud contcssa bent over
and kissed the wrinkled face ofthe
servant and said, grlvely:
"Tlat is well; but you must sleep,
Marcia, and not talk"
aPlay for me Cara," said the old
woman, drowSily.
And Karl Berger heard suddenly
from Marcia's room the answer to
his violin'S confession. Sweetly
