The wife Of Senator Davis, of Mime

She begins her reform ut the founda-

EXPENSIVE MARRIAGES.

1t is good suggestion that people
go not too widely in expenses. 1t is
curious fact that excitement often
drives economical people into ex-
trayagance. This is almost univer-
sally true of young people, when
preparing for marriage. They begin
modestly, and without ever dream
ing of the perils which await them.
They enter the emporium of fashion,
and are d&zled by the fine things
which seem so admirably fitted for
wedding times. They read thrilling
reports OF other marriages-the elab.
crate trousseaux, the floral displays,
the expensive suppers, the costly dia-
monds, and the expensive tours. 1t
sets them on fire. They long to
eclipse all rivals. The ambition for a
snowy wedding takes full possession
OF them. Under the spell of excited
sentiment, they fancy that they are
rich, and go to the full limit Of their
credit. The marriage over, away
they HE on blissful journeys, sweetly
imagining that they have the first
mortgage on all human happiness
But the end comes. After cooling
and languishing awhile around ex-
pensive hotels, walking their lightly
booted feet sore through museums,
art galleries and public buildings,
and spending the snug little pile
with which they started, they come
home. Then opens to them the blue
and dismal side of matrimony. Bills
forever forgotten, in the hands Of
agents who never forget, come roll
ingin. The smile OF the bridegroom,
darkens into the frown OF the hus-
band, and he grows crusty, nervous
and Respondent. He has an attack
Of congested poverty. He can't
spare to his wife change to mend her
broken bracelet or buy a pound Of
candy. The day OF sentiment is
gone, and the sobered couple limp
out into real lite, with debt on their
shoulders.
No, young people, do not lose your
wits. Marriage is more than a bril-.
liant wedding it means a long pull
together up the hill of life. And il
will be hard enough without strap
ping needless burdens on your backs

The Nevada City Transcript says:
"a gentleman Of this city had the
misfortune few weeks ago to lose
by death his wife. A few days ago
he visited bank on business and
was told by the cashier that at the
time of the death of his wife she had
accumulated and had on deposit in
the institution in her name the sum
of $4,000. The widower was thun-
derstruck and could hardly believe
what the cashier told him. He soon
realized the fact, however, when the
cashier gave him the certificate of
deposit for that amount"

HAVING GOOD TASTE.

There is no more fundamental tes
of character than taste. A compan,
OF young people come down the stree
at evening. Gradually they separate
Some find their way to concerts
reading-rooms, libraries: others t
saloons, billiard-rooms, and low thea
tres. You observe the difference in
their conversation. 1t is differ
ence of taste. The low man must find
his enjoyment in low pleasures. To
these his character shuts him up.
lie is himself his own dark jail"
A brilliant Frenchman once said
"Style is the man. This was IA SUI
perhcial judgment. He would have
done much better had he said: Taste
is the man. Tastes are settled pre-
ferences, and these make up charac-
ter. As the taste is, so is the man.
People often confess more than they
intend when they disclose their tastes.
II have no taste for reading" one
says. This means: | have little or
no interest in ideas; | have a feeble
intellectual character. Others have
no taste for religious services or ex-
ercises. We understand them. They
care little for religious truth or for
spiritual culture.
What a great blessing will it be to
us, then, if we early form taste for
the highest and best things! 1t will
make us proof at once against many
temptations. Select in thought one
OF the purest and best men 10 your
community, and imagine some one
proposing to him to pass night in
drunken revel. Such a proposal
could not be to HIN the slightest
temptation. Al his tastes run an
other way.
Things that now seem hard to be
done, will grow easy if we can keep
at them until we have formed taste
for them. "A department of knowl-
edge is half mastered when we have
formed thorough going taste for it.
Those who develop a taste for read
ing will read no others will. Those
who persevere in duty-even though
it may not for the time be pleasant
will be quite sure to develop an in
terest in their work, and this is the
first step to the formation of taste for
it, and such taste as one of the best
guarantees of both pleasure ana sue

Upon our loyalty to our town de-

city and hamlet has its advantages.
A loyalty to those advantages is its
life. First we must in our trading

to neighboring or distant towns. we
are obliged to do this, because if our
fellow citizen is doing his duty by us
he is patronizing US in our business OF

been at It only three or tour minutes
when the yawl heaved away from the
ship two or three feet, and at the
same instant the boy screamed out
again. His voice had scarcely reach

before my eyes, something caught my
arm and pulled it down and pinned
it fast to my body, and in five sec

his arms about me. Webb was
screaming at the top of his voice,
and, as | got look at him, | saw
that two OF the beasts feelers were
clutching him. The arm or feeler
which had reached me pinned my
arm to my side as if in wise, max
ing a clean wrap around my body,
and the extreme end of thu feeler
crept along my neck and face.

cut and hack and slash with their
knives, and after two or three min

arms, but of the creature.
We were hoisted on board bowling

biting, and they had to be cut from
us almost by inches.
The devil fish minded the loss of
his three arms ouly for half an hour,

WHY MEN FAIL.

Few men come up to their highest
measure of success. Some fail
through timidity, or lack of nerve.
They are unwilling to take the risks
incident to life, and fail through fear
in venturing on ordinary duties.
They lack pluck. Others fail through
imprudence, lack of discretion, care
or sound judgment. They overesti-
mate the future and build air castles,
and venture beyond their depth and
tail and fall. Others, again, fail
through lack Of application and perse-
verence. They begin with good re-
solves, but soon get tired of that and
want change, thinking they can do
much better at something else. Thus
they frltter life away, and succeed at
nothing. Others waste time and
money, and fail for want of economy.
Many fail through ruinous habits
tobacco, whisky and beer spoil them
fer business, drive their best custom
ers from them, and scatter their pros.
poets of success. Some fail for want
Of brains, education and fitness for
their calling; they lack a knowledge
OF human nature and of the motives
that actuate men. They have moi
qualified themselves for their occu
patton by practical education.
