than woman of intellect could ever

is obvious. The man has the world of

who thus come down to wed men of
low estate in each or all of these

cant might have been accepted as sense

gospel. A marriage to be really happy
must be a union of true friends and
real lovers, who have fair endowment
of reason and common sense between

THE CREDIT SYSTEM.



1t is somewhat strange that when.
ever the credit system is criticised, it i
as a rule from the standpoint of the
dealer rather than of the buyer-giving
the trouble of the man who gives cred
it rather than of him who receives it.
OF course it is on annoyance and loss
to the seller; but its effects upon the
buyer are still worse. 1t is bad for ali
classes of purchasers, and simply ruin
Gus to young men. The one of the
latter who begins career of buying
on ereditand borrowing ends in mis-
fortune and too often in bankruptcy OF
character Many young man has
been ruined by the credit system.
Take, for example, the young fellow
Of honest purpose who enters society
believing that his future home and
happiness depends upon his ability to
please, and that TO please he must
dress well and literally spend his money
for theater privileges and ball room
fancies, The chances are that such a
young man will soon find that his ex-
pcnses exceed his income, in which
case he usually resorts to the credit
system Tor temporary relief. He finds
that his tailor will furnish kim a new
suit of clothes on time, hence he
dresses well; he finds that his livery
bills can be charged, hence he drives
well because it is fashionable to do so.
He does all this with honest intent, be-
lieving that he can meet his bills when
due; but when payday comes he is UNI
able TO keep his promises. SO there be-
gins the era of broken pledges. which
too often ends in bankruptcy of char
acter.
Young man, don't put all you earn.
and more. upon your back. for the
young lady who is attracted by good
clothes is in fact not very rich dis
eovery. If you have a small balance
ut the end of the week. take second
thought before you pay it out for cigars
or tickets to the theater; but whatever
you DO, don I run in debt. In this new
and comparatively undeveloped coun-
try there are many fine opportunities
for the industrious. economical and
sober young man. And he who guards
his honor by living within his income
is the man whom the public can rely
Epon. and he is the man. too, that will
make good use of these opportunities,

The husband of woman in Sheffield,
England, having got out of work few
months ago. went to Australia. and on
his way out made the acquaintance of a
woman who formed great attachment
for him. Finding that he was already

wife not only wrote that she was
willing but named her price. $500.

nurufa tIil.) EXPRESS. Jan. B..
When the Aurora papers announced
that JOHN Trimble, OF 334 South Broad
way, this city, had been fortunate
enough to draw tenth share in the
800, 900 prize of the Louisiana State
Lottery, it was not generally believed,
but this same John Trimhle is probably
to-day the most contented man in Anro-
IA, for he has in the bank the snug little
sum Of "a, 995, the profits of his invest
ment in the lottery. The remaining 50
went for expenses. Mr.. Trimble was
seen by an Express reporter and &C
knowledged that he had received
check for the above amount, and stated
that il vas his intention to use the
money in his new business, he having
lately purchased the cut stone business
of Isaac Edwards.
The lucky ticket which drew the $780,
600 prize was number 70. 1856. Mr.. Trim
ble had tenth interest in this ticket
for which he paid one dollar. He took
his good luck very coolly and philo-
sophically. This is not the first time
that he has patronized the lottery, but
although he has never before drawn
very large amount, he claims that what
he received before his big haul paid
back all the tickets had cost him.
