Miss V---belonged to a colonial
family of high decent and great wealth.
She had remarkable beauty and talents.
and resolved. even in her childhood,
only to marry a man who could elevate
her TO still higher social levels. With
great difficulty she made herself a
skilled musician, learned to speak
French with the purest accent, and kept
herself acquainted with all the surface
culture of the capitals in Europe.
Travellers of distinction in the colo
MES carried back to Europe reports of
this marvel of beauty and wit, and led
many others who followed them to seek
her out. She was for years the friend

Single Blessedness.

1t is probable, says a writer in the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, that
unhappy and unsuccessful lives of mar
ried people are the chief reason assign
ed by many good men for remaining
single. 1t would be quite difficult,
perhaps, to find confirmed bachelor
who will not give this as his excuse for
his actions. He will tell you that his
friend So-and-sO made great catch
and was supposed to be on the high
way to permanent felicity. Now he is
miserable and she is worse Two
bright, promising lives have been sac
rifced on the altar of matrimony. If
you suggest to him that one swallow
does not make summer, he will beck
on you into secluded corner and be-
gin recalling similar eases, keeping
tally on his fingers until both hands
are full. What can you say in reply?
If you insist that a majority of mar
ried people are happier than a MAORI
ty of unmarried ones, he will proceed
to name a score of bachelors who are
happier, healthier, and jollier than a
score of their married associates. Be
gin talking philosophy to him and he
will come at you with facts gathered
here and there, and possibly some of
your own life. He will meet you point
by point, traverse the question as you
may, and you leave him with his opin-
ions unchanged
Another leading cause of bachelor
! hood is the unftness of the average
girl to become a wife in the true sense
| of the word. There is a difference,
you know, between a wife in law and a
wife in fact Your practical citizen is
looking out for wife in fact. 1t is no
easy matter to find a young woman
who is fitted for the duties devOlving
upon the wife of a businessman. He
may be able to support wife COM
fortably providing she is competent to
attend to her end of the partnership,
| but if she only knows how to open the
purse-strings her end of the business
will soon collapse, and possibly bank
rupt the other end.
The average woman does not mean
to be a burden to her husband. and in
most instances she does the best she
knows how. At least charity demands
that she be given credit to that extent
If she is blessed with a practical turn
and blessed with a good share of COM
nonsense. she will be able to adapt
herself to the new order of things and
in time become a clever wife. If,
however, she marries for a home, and
with the expectation of being cared
for. the chances are that she will soon
become dissatisfied and wish she was
at home again. 1t is just at this point
that the fond young husband begins in
earnest to envy his bachelor friend.
He curses the day that made him
benedict, and goes around sorTowing
as one who will not be comforted.
Your impractical young wife pours 81
tale of wo into her mother ears, and
weeps over the letters of discarded
lovers, imagining that she accepted
the wrong man. To tell her that she
is as much to blame as her husband, or
that the result would have been the
same had she married any one of her
many lovers, she would grow indig-
nant, and VOW that she would be
model wife if she had half chance.
1t is such wives as these that make
thoughtful bachelors wary of the mat
rimonial moose.

The Grand Army's Inspiration.

As long as the Grand Army of the
Republic remains to voice the convic-
tons of the old soldiers Of the war of
the rebellion, there viii be no doctrine
of revolution or disunion, or of exalta-
ton of treason. or Of submission to the
notification Of the fruits of that war,
against which it will not protest. and.
if needs be. its protest viii be backed
by the whole force Of organized re-
sistance. The Union and the well
fare and prosperity Of the entire coun-
try is the inspiration of the Grand
Army of the Republic Divorced from
politics, it is yet power in the higher
and purer politics whose influence is
felt rather than perceived in the po-
litioal arena. Long may the Grand
Army continue a potent factor in pro-
noting the patriotic impulses Of the
country. Syracuse az ID Journal.
