preciated a silent sympathy, even
though he had not shown his APP
probation Of it, resents the want of
it. He fees as if his wife was de-
sertlng him in his hour of need, and
it only wants an opportunity to
make quarrel which will be hard
to heal. The truth is that love,
like all things human, needs to be
tried before we can be sure what it
really IS. But circumstances alter
cases, and much depends upon the
character, the up-bring;ng, the ideas
of those who are ahiefy concerned.
A girl whe has been brought up to
make the best of small income,
and bear discOmforts cheerfully,
would be safe in risking what
would be fatal to the happiness Of
her less brave or less capable sister.
And, in the same way the character
for steady industry and energy of
one young man may be a better Sc
curity against poverty than the
good situation or flattering pros
pect of another. So long as young
folks clearly understand what they
have to face in an early marriage
upon a small income there is not
much fear of poverty putting love
to flight, even if he knocks at the
door; even if he succeeds in forcing
an entrance. 1t is in sanguine
heedlessness that there is danger.
And when one considers the many
advantages which flow from early
1--WE do not mean too early mar
riages) one cannot help thinking
that as much harm is done by hard,
cold, calculating ceunsels as by
recklessness itse IT, Long engage
ments are apt to prove heavy Jokes
and there is such a thing as starry
ing out love as well as Tightening
him away by poverty. Our advice
would be that when Tom and Mary
find that they have sufficiency,
bare though it may be, for the pres
ent, aud a fair prospect of some
increase, they should marry as soon
as they can furnish a house with
out running into debt. Better put
up with hardships, better try fall
or two with the ngly intruder, pow
erty, than remain apart, growing
colder and more selfish year by
year, till the day for making hap
Ply marriage goes by, never to come
again. Some of those who have
looked poverty in the face tell US
that he is not 80 terrible as might
have been expected; and that even
in his grip, painful as it is, there
are strength and endurance to be
learned. If the enemy is met in
such spirit as this, love in not apt
to be frightened away.

Drinking a Tear.


SHOWS, 1 won't drink without you
take what 1 do" said old Josh
Split in reply to an invitation. He
was a topper of long standing and
abundant capacity, and the boys
looked at him in establishment.
aThe idea" one of them replied,
"that you should prescribe condi-
tions is laughable. Perhaps you
want to force one of those abomlna-
BILE mixtures on us. You are chief
of mixed drinkers and / won't agree
to your conditions"
EsHe wants to run US en- castor
oil and brandy" said the judge
who would willingly have taken the
oil to get the brandy.
''No, I'm square," replied old
Split, stake my drink and I'm
with you.''
The boys agreed and stood along
the bar. Everyone turned to Spill
lit and regarded him with a great
interest.
"Mr. Bartender" said Split,
"give me a glass of water
'tWhat! wster?" the boys exclaim-
ed.
eyes, water. It's new drink to
me, I admit, and / expect it's a
scarce article. Let me tell you how
I came to take it. Several days
ago, as a parcel of us went fishing,
we took a fine chance of whisky
along and had heap of fun. Long
toward evening / got powerful
drunk and crawled under a tree and
went to sleep. The boys drank up
all the whisky and came back to
town. They thought it a good joke
because they had left me out there
drunk, and told it around town with
a mighty buster. My son got hold
of the report and told it at home.
Well, / lay under the tree all night
and when 1 woke in the morning
there sat my wife right there by me.
She didn't say a word when 1 woke
up; she simply turned her head
away. 1 got up and looked at her.
She still didn't say anything but 1
could see she was choking.
81 wish / had something to
drink" says I.
Then she took a cup which she
fetched with her and went down to
where a spring boiled up and dip
ped up a cupful and fetched it to
me. Just as she was handing it to
me she leaned over to hide her
eyes and 1 saw a tear drop in the
water. 1 took the cup and drank
the tear, and raising my hands 1
vowed I would never drink my
wife's tears again; that had been
drinking them for the last 90 years,
and that was going to stop. You,
boys, know who it was left me
drunk. You all were in the gang.
Give another glass of water, Mr..
misunderstanding Rural.

Journal of Commerce: More
than three hundred yeaas ago an
English historian gave the follow
inn description of sawmill.
"The sawmill is driven with an
upright wheel and the water that
maketh it go is gathered whole into
a narrow trough, which delivereth
the same water to the wheels. This
wheel has piece of timber put to
the axletree end, like handle of
breach and fastened to the end of q
saw, which being turned by the
force of the water, hoisteth up and
down the saw, that it continually
eateth in, and the handle of the saw
it kept from swerving. Also the
timber lieth, as it were, upon q lad
der which is brought by little to the
saw with another vise."

The Cure for Gossip.

What is the cure for gossip
Simply culture. There is a great
deal of gossip that has no maligni-
ty in it. Gocd-natured people talk
about their neighbors because and
only because they have nothing
else to talk about. The habitual,
confirmed gossip is always malicious
or ignorant. Reading is a safe
guard against gossip. People who
can talk of books do not have to
talk of persons. When you see a
family IN which good literary mag
azines and newspapers are taken
you see one where there is little Cos.

How often do we hear a man

a second time, or a wife perpetrate
the same sort of CHASTITY pleasantly
at @the expense of her husband.
They would not do it if they were

Did you ever hear wife joke about
the death of her child, or her moth

No, no. But society is running over

of their husbands. It is the most

What blessing to the household
is merry, cheerful woman-one
whose spirits are not affected by
wet days and little disappointments
and whose human kindness does
not sour in the sunshine of human
prosperity. Such a woman in the
darkest hours, brightens the house
like a piece of sunshiny weather.
The children go to school with a
sense of something greater to be
achieved; the husband goes out in

spirit. No matter how much he is
annoyed abroad, at home he is sure
to find rest.-Ex.

As far as can be done, children should

important Decision,

At the late term of the Court in Marion
County, His Honor Judge PRESLEY made
the following order in an important case
a citizen had been indicted for erecting
and keeping a mill,dam, which it was al,
lcdSed was nuisance, in the ncighbor-
hood where it is located. The decision is
one of general interest, so far us the powers
of County Commissioners extend:
cit appearing to the Court that there is
an indictment for a nuisance alleged to be
created and maintained, by erecting and
maintaining mill-dam in Marion County,
and il being the judgment of the Court that
sole jurisdiction to abatc such nuisance is
by law vested in the County Commissioners
Of said County; this Court has, therefore,
no original jurisdiction in the matter and
the indictment is ordered to be quashcd."
