THERE are few that are not aware at
one time of their life or another that
they know better way of living, of
doing. Goodness consists in living thus
better, in doing thus better. What is
needed then is a school for learning not
so much what is to be done, as to do
what we know ought to be done.

IT is an old saying, that charity be-
gins at home; but this is no reason it
should not go abroad. A man should
live with the world as a citizen of the
world, He may have preference for the
particular quarter or square or even al
ley in which he lives, but he should
have generous feeling for the welfare
of the whole.

MARITAL ENHANCEMENT.
LIVING TOGETHER WITHOUT KNOW
ING THEYWERE NOT MARRIED.

PITTsToN, March 3.-For fourteen
years Arthur G. Deacle, of Providence,
and Mrs. Adelia Thomas have lived to-
gether without knowing that they were
not legally married. They discovered
their mistake Saturday, when, as a re-
suit of family misunderstanding Mrs.
Thomas brought suit in the Lackawanna
county court against Deacle for the re-
covery of One-half interest in the four
lots of land which she and Deacle had
succeeded in accommodating as the result
of fourteen years of economy and
thrift. The manner in which they were
led into their mistake is as follows: In
1876, Deacle, then a prosperous young
laborer, secured divorce from his first
wife. Mrs. Thomas at that time had Just
separated from her first husband, but
there had been
Only a Verbal Dissolution
of the marital ties. Thomas had departed,
leaving his grass widow in possession of
a modest little home. When Deacle first
met the widow he supposed that her hus-
band was dead. An intimacy sprang up
between them, which ultimately drew
from him proposal OF marriage. A
neighborhood squire performed the nee
essary ceremony, but evidently in ignor-
ance of the fact that the bride was not
free. The couple lived happily and, as
stated, succeeded in buying some prop
erty. The present infellcity has been
doubly unfortunate for the woman, for
it not only deprives her of a husband,
but will in all probability result in taking
from her all claim to real estate in dis
pute.

JOY is one of the greatest panaceas of
life. No joy is more healthful or better
calculated to prolong life than that
which is to be found in domestic happi-
ness, in the company of good and cheer
full men, and In contemplating with de-
light the beauties of Nature.

"NEvER a rose without a thorn" is an
axiom possessing much truth. 1t fol-
lows then that the thorns were created
for the purpose of protecting the treas

and mind are preserved by the thorns Of
unshapely bodies, unbeautiful faces, or
lack of wealth.

ALL medical authorities agree that
catarrh is no more nor less than an in
tiammation of the lining membrane of
the nasal air passages. Nasal catarrh
and all catarrhal affections of the head
are not diseases of the blood, and it is a
serious mistake to treat them as SUCH
No conscientious physician ever at
tempts to do so. 1t is held by eminent
medical men that sooner or later a specific
will be found for every disease from
which humanity suffers. The facts justi-
fly us in assuming that for catarrh at least
a positive cure already exists in Ely's
Cream Balm.

THE more we live out of the world,
the more little courtesies, such as are in
the crowd unheeded, are magnified in
favors; true, that the same process of
exaggeration occurs in respect to petty
affronts or inconsiderate sights. The
heart never attains the independence of
the mind.

ALL the lessons we rightly learn in
the school of Divine wisdom are through
suffering and self-denial. Temptation
and provocation may be considered as
calls upon us to rehearse them; when it
is with us as with children in spelling,
those who err give place to those who
are more correct; and this is the rule of
precedence whereby all improper COM
petition for high places is avoided.
THE training Of the conscience, or
moral sense, is the most delicate and
important of all the duties devolved
upon the teachers of youth. The mere
disposition to follow right and avoid
wrong, however sincere and earnest it
may be, is not all that is required.
The reason must be brought to bear
upon and direct this disposition; in 9TH
er words, the conscience must be taught
to discriminate intelligently. The argu-
ment must be addressed directly to the
conscience itself.
