The community which lives simply
upon its history is certainly in its de.
cline. When the members Of family
live upon the glory of their ancestors
it is a sure sign that decadence has
reached an advanced stage. To
cherish history and antecedents as an
incentive to progress is well, but to
use them as means Of belittling the
present and darkening the future is a
sure sign of weakness and decline in
families, communities and nations. -

MIR. John Secor's seamless and
sailless yacht Eureka was launched at
New York on last Tuesday. The Eu.
reka is 100 feet long, with twelve feet
beam and a draft oftwenty feet. Her
displacement is about sixty.fve tons.
On her trial trip in 1887 the Eureka
required dynamo and an engine to
furnish electricity, and an air pump to
keep the cylinder supplied. Now the
electricity is to be furnished by stor.

ply themselves with air automatically,
so that the little ship can be cleared
out fore and aft below deck. for her
motive power will occupy less than

A WEDDING STORY.
An EngIishman Who Had Not Much Faith
I'm st. Pau:s Elaboration.

An Englishman Who Had Not Much Faith
I'm st. Pau:'s Exhortation.
The homily with which our marriage serv-
ice closes lacks intrinsic cheerfulness and its
peculiar charms, actual or suggestive, are
seldom appreciated by the more youthful
class of brides, says the London Telegraph.
Neither, despite it's slight delicacy do all
bridegrooms relish it with a perfect zest,
although, IN summarizing the obligations of
matrimony it puts the case for the husband
a good deal more advantageously than for
the wife. i remember an odd incident, illus
trative OF the objections entertained to-
ward this tiresome exordium by men of the
time is money " and "sclf help" ways
Of thinking. II took place at the second
wedding of an honorable and gallant friend
OF mine, whose humor was abundant, but
of the variety known as "dry." He was be-
ing married, let us say, at South Shields, a
good many years ago, and, having been
through the ceremony before as a principal,
was sh rply on the lookout for the homily
which he regarded in the light of vexa-
tious superfluity. Accordingly, when the
curate-a young AMI somewhat nervous &C.
clesiastic-had completed the "buckl'ngto"
part of the scrvic, aud was n. Idly hleating
out the eXhortatious 10 hear what SAINT
Paul SAITH" Captain P held up
his hand, to the o1icant's utter dis
may, and interrupted him with the
words, Il beg your pardon, sir; but are
we legally marriedr' why, yes; certain
ly ycu are" was the hesitating reply.
Then, SIR" rejoined the captain, ''Ill not
trouble you TO tell us what Saint Paul said.
Saint Paul may have been a very good fel-
low, but he wasn't South Shields man"
This said, he gave his arm to his newly
made wife, and led her away calmly In the
direction of the vestry
The curate, it appears, entertained so high
an opinion of the occult virtues of the hom-
lily and of the beneficial effect they could
not fail to exercise upon young married
couple, that he took my friend aside few
minutes before the wedding breakfast aud
tImdly asked him whether he would permit
him, the said curate, to impart Saint Pauls
views to him and Mrs. P orally on their
return from the honeymoon trip? To this
question, dictated by professional zeal which
would have done credit to an Early Chris
tian, my friend returned polite, but evas-
I, i've, answer. When, however, husband and
wife came back TO their native town, at the
conclusion Of what the Germans so happily
term "Die F'litterwochen,' they were so
obviously happy pair, and the subsequent
harmony of their married life proved so de-
Gghtfully continuous, as far as their many
friends and acquaintances knew, that the
reverend enthusiast never found occasion
to "place" his favorite homily, and wisely
left at least two of his welded parishioners
to work out their connubial felicity in their
own Way

matter now ready y-hearted Angela may be,
there is little perfunctory hesitancy, only
natural to her nlodesty; and you must not
give her the opportunity TO turn the cur
rent OF her wooing Do not stop to tell her
that you only take three glasses of claret
with your dinner, or that you don't owe
penny in the world. Information of this
sort you should convey to her long before
you ask the momentous question; it is rele-
want, no doubt, and may abet your effort
greatly, but yet it is prosaic and out of keep
ing just at the moment of crisis. The more
nakedly you confine yourself to declaring
your love and asking her hand, the better
Bear in mind always that a proposal par
takes Of the nature Of an onslaught; that no
matter how apt and willing your lady love
may be, she has still a maidenly sense of
preservation, and you must afford her no OPP
portunity Of avoidance, but bind her most
gtrenuously 10 the issue. Give her but the
slightest pretext for branching of upon a
side issue of controversy, and you will never
pin her to the point.
The last rule with which / propose at
present to burden the diffident courtier is
at any rate not less important than the
others:
Eschew Celebrations.
Under the head OF elaborations ] include
exaggerations, affectations and false pre-
lenses Of all sorts, objecting to them not
upon the ground Of their vitiating dishon-
esty, for l entertain a certain regard for
the immoral maxim that all Is fair in love
and war, but upon the score of inexpe-
6Iency.
At all times a woman's perception of de-
ceIt is keener than a mans, and il is Pc
cuiarly so when the matter under consid-
GRAFTON concerns her affections. IL is the
charity, not the blindness, of women which
makes them tolerant Of want of clarity IN
men they love. You can not cozen Angela,
and il is distinctly iDdiscreet 10 make the
attempt. Do not try to make her believe
that you are better fellow than you are
II she gives you her heart it is not because
you are the nOblest Of men. If we were
loved for our deserts only we should all die
lorn bachelors; it is in spite of your defects
that she loves you, and it would do you no
good to trick her if you could. Tell her
honestly that you are but an indifferent,
honest fellow, not more than passablS clev-
er, not too well furnished in worldly gear
say this by way of preface, leaving her no
opportunity for other interruption than a
formal protest at your self-depreciation-
and then--then at her, my merry man tell
her how you love her, and have no fear of
pitching your song too high on this point
swear that you love the street she lives up
on, and If you do not you are no true lover.

is the dress. To begin with the shoes
They must neither be too long nor too short.

the hips up slightly forward. Now step out

slightest possible bend in the knee. to pre.

OF moderate length, with the toes turned
out. When walking, the best position for
the arm is to let 1t hang easily at the side.

THE annual report of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction in New York shows the
public school system is in healthy condition.
The amount expended on it last year was
$14, 461, TIA. There are IL, 253 school districts
in the State outside of the cities, ], 763 lis
children of school age, and, during the year,
31,318 teachers were employed Under the
heading ''What Shall Be Taught" the super
intendent says that the tendency of the times
is to undertake too much. More than 90 per
cent. If the children never get beyond the
elemea larry studies. It may be well to inquire
whether the mass of children in this coun-
try of a given age can read. write, spell and
figure as well as the mass of children of the
same age in European countries. If not,
why notf The report suggests that more
attention be given to developing the moral
character of children, and that patriotism be
inculcated by revival of the old custom of
public Rotations of masterpieces of national
oratory. All these suggestions point to defects
in our public school system-lack of thor
oughness in the primary branches, superb
ciality in all that is taught, and lack of moral
and individual training.
