Advice to Bride and Groom,

In the first solitary hour after the
ceremony take the bridegroom aud de-
mand q solemn vow of him, and give
him a vow in return. Promise one an
other sacredly never. even in jest, to
wrangle with each other, whatever
pretext, with whatever excuse it may
be. You must continually, and every
moment, see clearly into each others
bosom. Even when one of YOU has
committed fault, wait rot an instant,
but confess it freely. And as you keep
nothing secret from each other, so. on
the contrary, preserve the privacy of
your house, married state and heart
from father, mother, sister. brother,
aunt. and all the world. You two.
with Gods help, build your own quiet
world. Every. third Or fourth one
whorn you draw into it with you will
form Il party, and stand between YOU
two. Promise this to each other. Re-
new the vow at each temptation. You
will lind your account in it. Your
souls will grow, rs it we're. together,
and at last will become rs one. All, il
many Il young pair had ON their we'd
ding dag known this secret. how many
marriages would be happier than. alas!
they are now.--N. Y. Mail and Express.

A KLEPTOMANiAC'S RuSE.
How She Got \ Valuable Ring at tn,
Price SGT bY Heraelf

How Sho Got Valuable Ring at the
Price Set BY Herselk
''See that old lady at the other end
of the store? Well, she is one OF the
most confirmed kleptomaniacs in New
York. 1t is hardly possible that you
would believe me il I were to tell you
her name. She belongs to one of the
best families in Brooklyn and is well
known in this city. Every one con-
nected with this store is cognizant
of her failing and acts accordingly.
Notwithstanding our precautions, how
ever, few months ago she managed to
deceive us in a very ingenious way.
She had been here several times and
appeared to take a great fancy to a
valuable diamond and ruby ring. One
day she asked my employer what its
price was and he told her that it was
the best he had in the store and was
worth $500. She laughed and offered
to give $3.50 for it, and on this being
refused said: Well, will you let me
have it at that price if I can steal it?'
Certainly he replied, and nothing
more was thought about the matter.
Several times after that she came
here and had the proprietor take out
the tray and exhibit the ring, on each
occasion renewing her previous offer.
"About two months ago the old lady
showed ring to my employer and
asked what he thought it was worth.
After examining the article critically
he said that it was worth about $3.50.
1 have several, he continued, much
better than that which 1 will sell for
that price,
lat this the old lady gave cunning
little laugh, and proceeded to count
out $3.50 from her pocketbook. Some
thing in the kleptomaniac' manner
aroused his suspicious and Fastening
to the case he discovered that the $500
ring was missing. During one of her
visits the old lady had managed to alb
stract it from the tray and insert in its
place one of very small value. To say
that my employer was angry wien he
discovered how he had been duped but
feebly expresses his emotions. He was
furious, and when he was reminded of
his promise to sell the ornament for
$3.50 if the lady managed to steal it, he
kept his word, but begged that the
story should not be told to any of his
friends. '-Jcwelers' Weekly.
