he will:try to pull off the signet. He says
Ito the husband: what a plain wife you
have compared with what she once was
Don't you see that the color has gone out of
her cheek and there are several wrinkles
about her temples and a sprinklng of frost
| on her locks? Besides that, you have adj
yancedl in Intelligence while she has stood still
or gone back. How hard it is that you
should be chained to such duness and imbe-

That man neglects you you have a right
to be jealous. He likes his cigar and his club
| and anything and everything better than
you. Why not get divorce? Mar
rage is only a civil contract anyhow,
and not a divine alliance. Let me
have that ring. 1T means nothing and you
| might las well @give it to me-" The ring is
handed over to Satan and he losses it up and
down like plaything over the mouth of per-
dition and says, II will hand it back. only let
me have it a little while" And he keeps toss
ing that ring with all it's sacred memories
higher up and farther out, tossing and catch
ing 1t until one day you clutch for it, crying,
Give back my ring!' but 10, it has dropped
into the yawniug gulf and you suddenly find

and cry out. Whence CONTEST thou?" and he
answers, From going to and fro in the do
nestle life of the city and from walking up
and down in it; that is all'' There are thou

to breaking, and commend to all men and
women who are restless in the present mar

Wedding march announced to the flushed and
t1uUtering crowd that the bride and groom
were coming. According to the statistics of
Prof. bikes, IN one year in moral New Hamp-
shire there were al divorces; in temperate
Maine, Ats divorces in good old Massachu-
setts, 600 divorces, and in the New England
of STEADY habits" lib. In one county of
Illinois $50 divorce suits were begun in one
RI
arrangement had been made ofthe command
ments, and instead of 10 there were only nine,
the seventh commandment having been left
out. When you see how many husbands and
wives are parted by law, and know of so
many who would like to dissolve conjugal
partnership, do you not come to the con-
clusion that Satan is engaged in mighty in
dustries?
Another route that Satan is apt to take in
his active travels is the factories aud other
establishments where capital sits in the office
or counting room and good many hands
OF laborers are busy among wheels and spin
dies and fabrics. On this visit he will first
step into the manufacturers Office, and find
ing the owner and proprietor of the great es-
tabllshment all alone with his correspondence
and his account book, says to him: 'sYou are
not making as much money as you ought.
You furnish all the brains. We're it not for
your enterprise this establishment would not
be IN existence. These men and women in
your employ are of very common mould
Their appetite is coarser, and they do not
need the luxuries you require. Their comfort
and happiness are of very little Importance
Put them down on the very verge of starya-
ton and take all the profits into your own
possession, and ifthey do not like it; tell
them to go where they can do BETTER" Hav-
ing done his work in the counting room
Satan steps right out among the workmen.
He says: You work too many hours. and
you do your work better than it needs to be
done: You are serving a bloated bond
holders anyhow. He has no right to have
any more than you have Why should he
have tenderloin steak and you salt pork?
Capital is the enemy oflabor. Let labor be
the sworn foe of capital. Why don't you
strike and bring him to terms? Wait until
he has large order to fill by contract and
then he cannot help himself. Go all together,
without a moments warning and tell him
you are going to stop. If he has more re-
sources than you know of and persists in
going on and getting new men, give them a
volley OF brickbats or put q little dynamite
in his office and blow him and his factory all
up with the same explosion" Look out
there on the night sky Great fire some
where What is it? The night is cold
and Satan has made a big bonfire
of that factory to warm himself by.
The capitalist has lost heavily and the work
men and their families are without bread and
clothing. whence CONTEST thou, Satan?"
From going to and fro among employers
and employees and from walking up and down
among them. Ha! Fla! | was the only one
who made anything ,out of that strike.
What a splendid fire and lots of smoke! Ha!
Ha! like smoke"
.Another:route Satan lis apt to take in his
travels is through the mercantile establish.
ments. He steps,in and says to the clerks:
How muehsalary do you get? Is that all?
Why yon can't live ON that! You have a
right to enough for @ livelihood A few
quarters out ofthe money drawers will never
be missed, ,or here and there is a remnant of
goods you could take home without being
found out Or you could change those ac-
couztt books a little and you could make
that figure eight o naught and that
figure five o three and if you do
not feel exactly right about doing
that you can some,day pay it back, which
yon cam do perfectly easy. Don't feel like
running the risk? Well, then you can't goto
the theatre and you can't go on that round
with the boys and you will have to weart
plain coat whereas you could have your over
coat fur lined, and take board at tiptop
place and walk amid plush and tapestries
