Its cohesive principle is system of

Exchanged Wives.

In Washington county, Georgia
two married couples were living only
short distance apart, and by neigh
borly intercourse each man became
enamored of the others wife, while
the ladies' soon learned to love the
others husband, and thus became
estranged from their first love
When matters took this shape il
came to be noticeable by all concern
ed, and many evenings passed while
each husband was at the other
house pouring out his tale of love
and fidelity into the willing ears o.
the listeners Finally one of the
husbands, a little holder than the
other, proposed an exchange. This
was met with gladness by all the
parties interested, and the propos-
ing party consented to the trade or
condition that the other would al
low him S. in cash and seven bush
els of Quaker peas. This was readi-
" consented to, and the trade was
made, his wife going to the others
home, carrying with her the child
rem, and are now living in the sweet
est domestic felicity. They will try
to have the Courts make the trade
legal.

Maxims Worth Remembering.

Despair is the gateway to insan
ity
We never thoroughly know a man
until we hear him laugh.
True aud uniform politencss is
the glory of any young man.
Originality is the faculty Of adapt
ing an old idea to new occasion.
Fame, like lightning, generally
strikes the man who is not expect
ing it.
A mans bearing wins ten super
Tor women where his boots and
brains win one.
III a man stands before woman
with respect for himself and fearless
ness of her his suit is half won.
Argument will pull a wise man
down to the level of fool. but il
never raises fool up to the plane on
wise man.
Thorough appreciation Of II good
woman on the part of a young man
is one of the strongest recommends
tions to her favor.
When man ventures an opinion
he will find some one who opposes it,
Hence man without opposition is
a man without opinions.
A young man who with any degree
of earnestness declares that be never
intends to marry confesses to q brls.
tai nature or perverted morals.
The more Of man you become,
and the more of manliness you are
capable of exhibiting in your associ-
ations with women, the better wife
you will be able to obtain.
