NE WAITED TEN YEARS.

\ countryman who was in waiting at the
Third street depot the other day, took a
stroll around the square, and when he re-
turned he said to the policeman at the door.
"Say, met feller up here who says he
knew me twenty years ago, and that he
bad Deen waiting ten years to lick me-
"Wel!, keep away from him"
But he is mistaken; never knew him.
Let him 90; what is il TO you%
'H'hy, don't want man to be mistaken

I'm not the right man,
lie was advised TO sit down and wait fol
his train, but pretty soon the officer saw 3
crowd up the street and hastened to thu
spot to find a man lying on his back OF
the walk, evidently unconscious, while the
countryman was at hand to explain;
You see, told him lac was mistaken

your places at the table and sit quietly
there until you can be waited upon. The

The doors are opened and the following
remarks coming from the little ladies and

THE great crying need of the country
is not for brilliant young men, but for those
that are reliable. Smart people are yalu-
able for dress parade, but the wheels are
kept moving by the plodders who are not
afraid of mud and work."
The authors life is prize fight With
the public; and however hard a blow he
hits, he must leave them no time TO get
over 1t before he plants another, or he has
to begin again. Fertility is only another
word for perseverance.
Only as we are inclined TO look to an
other as in some sense our superior, are we
disturbed by his unjust risicsm of ourselves
or of our motives. If we really thought
we we're on plane above him, we could
look down with pity, or complacency, on
his mistaken view of us and our course.
Remember" says philosopher Epictetus,
"that it is not he that givesabuse or blow
who affronts; but the view we take OF
these things are insulting." Let us be
cautious therefore how we exhibit a sense
of our infirmity by our oyerquickness to
take personal offence unworthily.

The chapel bells are Ginning

As enter the low, stone doorway
At the hour OF evening prayer
'Tis only a little year ago
And yet how changed thRpla
As look across the dim old aisle
And know that one sweet face
Has gone from its niche, by the pillar,
Where The cclors. rich and rare
In light, through the Old stained window
Touched the halo of waving hair
Ahlwhat a world Of hely thought
Lay shadowed on that fair brow,
And what dreary, dreary waste
My life seems 10 me now.
How often have watched her here,
Those deeply tender eyes,
From beneath her slllen l,lshes soft,
Raised to mine in grave surprise
Aud the coming of the sudden blush,
As they met my earnest look;
Then shaded by their trembling Veil
Fell again ON the Holy Book
And now lis past, that short. sweet dreaml
And the angel carved in stone,
Looks down In tender pity
For my grief to all unknown
The voice OF the organ ceases,

In the last rays of the sun,
Cleans like many another cross:

MARKTAaRABLE WoMEN

one of the social problems of the day Is
to explain why there are so many marriage
able women who never get married.
Some say that 1t is owing to an excess IN
numbers of women over men; in conse-
quence of whice there are not husbands
enough
This, however, is disproved by statistics.
Take the world through, and the figures
show that there are as many men in II a.
there are women
Others attribute it to the expensiveness
of modern life.
Men do not marry because, IL Is said,
they cannot afford to.
But the fact is no man who truly loved q
women ever hesitated to become engaged
to her and eventually marry her because Of
poverty,
There are cold -blooded men, with ne idea
of any feeling for woman stronger than
! languid admiration, who many be deferred
from assuming what they regard as dur
den in the shape Of wife unless assursn
Of a liberal income; but most are not so
calculating.
Others again attribute The evil v
woman's fastidiousness.
They expect too much in ahusband, and.
while waiting fer an impossible shadow. 1s'
the possible substance slip through their
fingers.
This is libel on the sex. As a rule,
they are no more fastidious than men are,
and are just as susceptible as men TO that
snchantment OF loye which invests It's OBJ
iect with every perfection aud eoYers ug
every fault.
So far as men and woman themselves
are concerned, they are as prone TO MARI
age now as in any period Of the wsrid'i
history.

No sooner is q Chinese boy born in to the

down eight characters or words, each set of

A Look Around-mOre Drives an
Railroads Needed

A Look Around-mOre Drives and
Railroads Needed.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
OF the many pleasant drives in, out and
around our highly favored city beautiful
and pleasant one is that to the Derby turn
pike gate by way of West Chapel street, the
Yale athletic grounds, ON past Maltby lake, to
and through Allingtown. Taking then
Campbell avenue, q straight, direct route to
Orange, to West Haven, to Savin Rock leads
to the south end of the shore drives and
thence by West Haven, Oyster Point and
back into the city. Stock in well located
horse railroads is always good paying en-
terprise. 1t is an increasingly good invest
ment. The West Chapel street horse railroad
extended to take in the above named pleasant
drive would afford a natural, easy, delightful
ride to the beautiful region of the Maltby
lakes, Allingtown and the shore and lie al
most real necessity. The great advantage of
thorough adaptation to become large city and
a distributing commercial center need no
longer be unimproved. The $400, 600 to
Hartford and $250,000 gift to Bridgeport
ought to stimulate New HaveR's citizens and
rich friends at home and abroad to definite
of other cities in the State and out Of it adds
and helps our own prosperity. Good natured
rivalry is arousing and helpful, while envy
and complaint are simply paralyzing and in
excusable. The opening up of new drives
and railroad facilities by steam and horse
cars is the necessary preliminary to knowl-
edge of our natural advantages and their
prompt availability and improvement. New
York, Philadelphia and Boston have been
fortunate in always having large minded
brave metropolitan citizens promptly to avail
of the best use of their situation and the
pressing demand of the age and of our coun-
try. It would seem that this place of our
abode ought to furnish men of truer foresight,
of as high and of as great ability as the lead
ers and directors in great cities elsewhere.
Connecticut statesmen, inventors wife's and
merchants ought to hald and maintain tie
higher character now as in the past.
