THE DEAD ARE SOON FOR
GOTTEN.

''After nearly twenty years con-
slderation ] have come to the con-
clusion that the easiest forgotten peo-
pie in the world are the Dead" grave
ly said Mr.. Connell, Superintendent
of the Mount Moriah Cemetery. "You
would be surprised to know how soon
and how easy the dead are obliterat-
ed from our memory. It's the con-
slant rubbing about in the world
does it, | suppose. | have known
women to come to the cemetery and
forget the date of their husbands
death. Not only that, but they will
forget the position of his grave, and
when asked for the date will often
place it three or four days later than
it really occurred. There is some
thing suggestive in that, to my mind,
of the time when they began to get
over their loss, and in some way or
other obtained a compensation
"Do husbands forget their wives
as quickly?"
''Oh, dear, yes, that is the easiest
thing in the world. The wife is bur-
led, headstone is placed over her.
and we are paid to keep the grave
green, but only for time. One of
the quaintest lots in the cemetery be-
longs to gentleman who has buried
three wives and is now living with
the fourth. He has great care taken
of the lot and there is plenty of space
in it yet. There are three fine monu-
ments in it, one for each of his dead
wives, and each the exact counter
part Of the other. The same urn with
the weepers and the same kind words
in memory of the departed. He wish
ed, | presume, TO show his impartial
fondness for all.
Children are a class of dead who,
strange to say, are less forgotten than
any others. A mother will remem-
Der the day of the week, month and
year of her little ones death, and af-
ter years have passed away will walk
straight to the spot where her dar-
ling's remains are deposited. This
even though she may have had seve-
raj children born since this ones S
death. 1t is strange that woman
should retain the memory of her
child's death so retentively and yet
forget the year of her husbands

The Sleigh Ride.

Kind Providence the snow had sent,
And softly blew the breeze,
The night sought out Deacon Dent
To see if he would please
Allow his daughter darling Kate,
The saucy little she,
Prepare herself and trust to fate
(Or rather trust to me),
While we went dashing, hearts aglow,
O'er the crust of the new-laid snow.
He gave consent with a twinkling eye,
And Kate was ready soon;
So to the sleigh we quick did HE,
And by the light of moon
Our steeds like sleuth- hounds break away,
Impatient of coutrol,
While we as hunters in the fray
Which stirs the very soul,
Dash onward, onward, onward, still!
Nor pause ere reaching Bailey's mill.
Dear Kate! 1 loved her many years,
And well she knew it, too;
But seeking council of my fears,
| knew not what to do;
Yet stay, hurrah! mid ring OF bells
And fields Office so vast,
IN own my love, as Cupid tells
Me, then all dangers past;
So while my heart to mouth uprose,
unto her straight did propose.
"Yes, jack" said she; 81 will be thine;
I've loved You long and well;"
And placing one fair hand in mine,
ooh, bliss too great to tellD
She wound the other round my neck,
While brighter shone the snow,
And earth and sky seemed void of speck
And when she whispered low:
"There's nothing like sleigh-ride, dear,
Providing one you love is nearr'

AYERS
Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaints are'so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none SO triled with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from trifing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
"In 1857 took severe cold, which affected
my lungs. / had a terrible cough, and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. 1 tried AYERS CHERRY Pee
TORAL, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary
for the recovery of my strength. By the
continued use of the PICTORIAL q perma-
nent cure was effected. l am now 81 years
old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your
CHERRY PECToRAL saved me.

"While in the country last winter my little
boy, three years old, was taken i'll with Group;
1t seemed as if he would die from strangu-
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of AYERS CHERRY PECTORAL, a bottle of
which was always kept i'll the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
to our delight i'll less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doe
tor said that the CHERRY PECTORAL had
saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely yours,
Mrs. EMMA GEDNEY."

"I cannot say enough in praise of AYERS
CHERRY PICTORIAL, believing as l do that

from lung troubles. Z. BRAGDoN."
Palestine, Texas, April %, 1882.
No case of an affection of the throat or
lungs exists which cannot be greatly relieved
by the use of AYERS CHERRY PECToRAL,
and it will al,cays care when the disease Is
not already beyond the control of medicine.

WHAT ARE GIRLS COOP For ?-It
is generally supposed that girls make
good wives. If there are any good
wives the supposition is true. Then,
they are excellent sisters and cous-
ins-when they are; and they are
generally comfortable to have about
the house, to take to parties and the
atres, and to adorn fine clothes.
Sometimes they go beyond their linn
its and grow to be helpful-first,

THE CHANGES OF FEWER
MARRIAGES.

Girls are no more angels than men
are apes, and there are other vices
besides impurity, such as envy, un-
charitableness, malice, untruthful-
ness, and ill-temper. Are all the
vices on our side? Post-nuptial back
slidings are worse than ante -nuptial
divagations, and if the balance is to
be struck after marriage it is not ca
sy to say on which side it would be.
There is one lesson which we, all of
us, in whatever rank or society we
may be, have to learn, and the soon
er we learn it the better-the lesson
of humility, of modesty, of economy.
We are no longer the lords of crea-
alton; we have no longer monopo-
ly of capital or production; rents
and interests will fall lower still, and
unless we realize the situation, come
down from our high horses, and mod
crate our views of style and expen-
diture, very serious trouble will over
take society. We had better give up
sneering at those "dirty foreigners
and initiate little of their frugality.
But the example must be set by those
above; so long as the leaders of the
great world indulge in disylay those
below will spend their last shilling in
an insane attempt to be in the run
ming. Diamonds, lace, costly fab
rics, whether for dress or furniture,
long and lavish dinner parties, heavy
suppers after balls, all these things
might be made questionable by a
wave of Zenobia's wand. Unless
some change of this kind is made in
our habits, or unless some happy rev.
olution occurs in our economic histo-
ry, there will be fewer marriages than
ever in Vanity Fair.-The National
ReUieac.
