Marrying for Money.

l had a conversation recently with a
very clever and attractive New York
lady, who, among other misfortunes, was
afflicted with s2,OOO,O00. She said she
would never marry, because she would
not believe that any man wanted her tor
any other reason than her gold. "And
what asked, .'do you lose thereby ?
If a gentleman takes you because you
are so pretty, the smallpox, q fall from
a horse, any accident may destroy your
beauty, and where will his love be if it
is for that reason only he took you? Ii
another one falls inlove with you because
you are so fresh, SO young, so lively, time
is safe to destroy all that, and your hold
on him is lost. But if he takes you for
your money, you need only beware OF
dangerous speculations, and you will
always keep the charm that brought him
to your feet, and you have nothing to
fear.n ssThat is one way of looking at il" /"

brace my opinion, that barely ayear after

Miss Birdie McHenepin told him that
she could never be more than sister to

Man Discovered by Boys
This morning some boys who were hunt
ing Indian turnip discovered the dead body
of an unknown man In the woods of Mrs.
Brandt, between Landisville and Salunga
Nothing is left of the body but skin and
bones, and it would be impossible TO recog-
nize the dead man. The hair remains on the
skull and it is very gray. 1t is believed the
man has been lying in the woods since last
fall, rs on his feet were a pair of shoes
into which there had been cut slits,
as though the wearer had sore feet 1t is
hardly likely that he would have worn such
shoes in the winter The clothing consisted
Of dark coat and pantaloons ard knit jacket
There were no papers on his person.
The man undoubtedly was tramp, and
from his position he seems to have lain down
to sleepy 1t is strange that the body was not
discovered before, as he was lying but 100
yards from the public road. Persons residing
In the neighborhood have noticed an offensive
smell arising from the woods at different
times, but they had no idea from what 1t
came. Coroner Honaman was notified to
hold an inquest
