MatrimOny.
BY THOMAS MACKELLA


i hold that every one IS bound to carry
In full effect the duties of this life;
Inat IS, That man In proper time should marry
And live in love and harmony with a wife.
If now and then a woman prove shrew,
Ills an exception to the general rule;
And would deem him either knave or fool
Who says that woman is not kind and true.
There may be men who ne er should marry,-SlIcf
As have heart affection cannot touch;
But he who bears the impress of man,
And has a bosom till'd with yearnmgs human
Should win the love OF some pure-hearted wo
man.
And pop the question to her bravely as he can
An angel always dwells beneath the roof
Where, in her virtue, a sweet wife fulfilS
Her gentle duties; and unnumberd ills
From that lOve-guarded precinct keep alooft
And The who finds wife" twas said fold.
Finds something good" and so always hold
The bachelor is nondescript-Qbe beg
His pardon, but it's true;)-quite out of place
He seems to me. among our loving race;
Unfinished, like chair that lacks leg
A knife without a fork-a book unbound-
A lonely traveller on Il lonesome way,
Who, faint and sad, looks wistfully around,
But from the sun of love receives no cheering ray
If this be so why don't he go and marry?
Ills autumn now; the birds long since have
pair'd;
And cen the flowers their nupta time have
shared:
Then why should he solitary tarry?
Were l bachelor, I'm sure I'd tall
A captive to some maiden of our land;
I'd scarce know how to choose among them all
Yet in our day single heart and hand
Are all the law allows; and this is well.
The love of one sweet heart on one bestowed
Is full enough to make his bosom swell
And teach his feet to leap along life's road.
He bachelors, goa loving help meet take,
And send around your compliments and cake.

Looking Out for the Cake.

She was the blacklist and brightest of lit
tie darby girls, regular Topsy, only twelve
years old, who washed the dishes, swept the
floors and did all sorts of odd jobs for Maine
household, and when she wasn't otherwise
occupied caught flies. One of the ladies
had a cake in the oven and cautioned the lit
tie wench not to bang the door as she had
cake to fall Shortly afterwards they noticed
that "Ginny seemed to have lost her voice
and confined her talk to whispers.
"Why in the world are you whispering at
such a rate, Ginnyf Why don't you speak
up ?" asked the mistress.
"Cause Use 'fraid Missy Ellen's cske'll
fall" the chick answered, as quick as fash.

Beef.

Talleyrand, like most diplomatists, was
famous for his attention to the details ofeti-
quette. He prided himself on an ability to
adjust his mode of address to the rank and
position of the person to whom he was speak
ing.
On one occasion, when number of distin-
guished men were dining with them, he vari-
ed his formula, when inviting them to par
take of beef, in such manner as 10 suit the
rank of the respective persons.
"May I have the honor of sending your
royal highness little beef?" he asked q
prince of blood.
To duke be said, "Monseigneur, permit
me to send you little beef"
marquis, "he continued, "may send you
some beef2"
"Viscount, pray have little beef"
"Baron, do you take beef?" ran the next
Interrogation.
Monsieur" he said to an untitled gentle
man, "some beef?"
To his secretary he remarked casually,
"BeefP"
But there was one gentleman left who de-
served even less consideration than the secre-
tary, and Talleyrand, posing his knife in air,
favored him with mere look of interroga-
ton. II the guest was possessed of an indie
pendent spirit, one can imagine that he did
not take beef that day.

A Magic Fish.

Make a very small hole in each end of a
fresh egg, and after blowing out the contents
close one end with bit of sealing wax. Cut
two piece of cloth in the shape of the body
of fish, and sew them together on the edges
80 as to make pointed bag. Into this bag
some sand should be put for ballast.
The mouth of the bag must be exactly the
size of the egg, which is to be fastened into it
with sealing wax or glue, to form the head of
the fish. Having prepared it in this way
paint two eyes on the egg with black paint,
and the magic fish is ready 10 be put into
jar of water.
The weight of the sand in the bag must be
such that the fish will float on the surface if
left to itself, but so that very light touch
will cause it to sink.
Cover the jar tightly with piece of india
rubber, or any other waterproof, flexible sub
stance. When you lay your hand on the GOV.
ering, the pressure transmitted to the liquid
will cause little water to enter the egg, and
the fish will dive. The heavier you press,
the more quickly it will plunge If you re-
move your hand from the india-rubber, the
compressed air in the egg will force out the
water, and the fish will come to the surface
again.

Too Many for an Irish Landlord.

An Irish landlord relates that one of his
tenants came to him before his departure and
asked to have his cottage enlarged
"Sure," he said, sit do be too small already,
an me family does be needin' more room"
"But, Francis" replied the landlord, you've
not been married very long. How old is
your oldest?"
Faith, they're years"
"They?"
"Yis. Two av them. Twins"
"Ahl And what's the age of the next?"
They're six, yer honor"
"They ?"
"Yis. Twins"
Good Lordl Have you any morep"
"Yis. The next do be three years."
"Boy or girlf"
"Both, sor. Twins"
"Francis, this won't do"
$50 I thought, sor, but there was only wan
in the last lot. He's year ould."
+ "Well," sighed the landlord. "I'm afraid
shall have to enlarge your cottage"

Men with LOW FOreheads.

Here is a gallery of 'low foreheads" war
ranted to astonish the knowing ones who
never see virtue except in bald fronts. Look
up the portraits of Grant, Mcclellan, Logan
and Sheridan among soldiers; Holmes, Sted-
man, Howells, Grant White, Curtis, Parton,
Twain and Warner among authors the late
Chief Justice Waite and Matthew Arnold
among recently deceased notablcs, and see
how the growth of their hair subjects them
to be slandered by the shallow pates.
On the other hand look at the full face por-
traits of the average baldheaded man, and
see how his affliction glorifies his intellect
When you find man whose hair grows
down over the bend of his profile forehead,
while yet leaving it "high" to the eye, you
have got hold of thinker who is also man
of action, such as Beecher, Booth, Ruskin,
Lincoln.
The dome shaped forehead usually marks
the idealist, and the square shaped brow the
practical man of affairs and wit.

Economy Is wealth. But-

There is story of young man en-
ployed on one of the Vanderbilt roads
who, after fruitless endeavors to get his
salary raised, finally went to William II.
Vanderbilt himself.
He was kindly received, but when it
came to the question of an increase of
salary Mr.. Vanderbilt said: 'sYoung
man, the trouble in these days is not
that men do not get salaries enough, but
that they are extravagant and do not
keep what they get"
With admirable composurc the young
man took notebook and pencil from
his pocket, and after little figuring
said: "Mr. Vanderbilt. as l figure it, if
God had given Adam a salary of $25, 900
year, and he had lived till the present
day and boarded every cent of it during
these 5000 years. he would still be $780,
600, 900 poorer than you are. Are there
not possibly other ways of getting ahead
besides saving ones salary?'
Mr.. Vanderbilt quickly closed the in
terview, but is said to have ordered the
young mans salary raised in recognition
of his GOODNESS and keenness
This story is naturally recalled as one
reads from time to time of Chauncey
M. Depew addressing the young men on
the virtues of economy and frugality.
The advice is always good, but the man
who knows most about how the Wander
bilts acquired control over S640, 1000, COO
worth of railroads ought to enlighten the
young men on few other points now
and then.-Boston Globe

The Parting of the WAYS.

Wilkins and Watkins were college chums
and close friends. They had been hard
students and had taken little outdoor exer-
else. When they shook hands and said
goodbye, at the end of their college career,
they were in impaired health. Both had
dyspepsia, liver troubles and troublesome
coughs.
Wilkins had plenty ofmoney, and decided
to travel for his health. Watkins was poor.
II must GO to work for my living" said he,
shut I'll try the remedy that Robinson
talks so much ahout-Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery
In less than TWO years, Wilkins came
home in his coffin. Watkins, now In the
prime OF life, is bank president, rich and
respected, and weighs 200 pounds. "The
Golden Medical Discovery saved my life
at critical time," he often SAYS. .Oh, IL

weak lungs, splitting of blood. all lingering
conghs, and consumption in its early stages,
it is an unequaled remedy.

A Farmer ON n Bicycle.

The New England farmer of today is
much given to the covered carriage and
horse that holds his head high. sus-
pect that the reliable but somewhat de-
iberate OK satisfied his ancestors. Imet
one farmer near Holyoke driving his
COW home from the pasture on bicycle
that is, the man was on bicycle and
the cow was ahead of him on foot,
though she looked as if she would appre-
ciate a bicycle, too, as he was speeding
her along on rather lively trot. / stop
ped him and asked him if there was any
show for a farmer to make money in
that section, and while the patient cow
leaned against tree and caught hsr
breath he replied that there was nol.,-
whatever.
His grandfather had made money on
the farm, he said, but he could not.
Then he called to the COW to "hump her
SELF" and went spinning down the road
with the long suffering beast making
desperate efforts to keep from being run
over. 1t occurred to me that perhaps
his grandfather did not pick the stones
off the farm with bicycle and a pair of
tongs.-Cor. New York Tribune.

Henry D. Lloyd,s Doflnition.

Mr.. Henry D. Lloyd in his eloquent
address delivered in Chicago on '.The

fort to cure fanaticism, the fanaticism

"The labor movement is part of the
great upward movement of humanity, >
and sit represents distinctly higher
idea than that obeyed by modern SO.
ciety," and with its rule of love 1t will
lead" He says that the labor movement
is intensely practical, that ''it offers
practical means of abolishing war and
poverty" It says the practical part OF
mothers is to take care of their children,
and that the best thing children can dc
for the world is to grow. The labor
movement is not lawless, hcentious OF
insubordinate; and further, "its leaders
are Ruskin, Mazzini, Shaftesbury, Car
lyle, Emerson, Wordsworth, Sir Walter
Scott, Abraham Lincoln and Wendell
Phillips

Shorter Hours for Clerks.

Shorter hours for clerks. This is the
word passed along the ranks of organ
lied labor, and approved by a growing
sentiment among employers. With car
penters, bricklayers and every organized
trade demanding the eight hour day it
is certainly time for some measures of
relief to be offered the Chicago statesmen
and saleswomen who work from twelve
to fourteen hours every day.
The advocates of short working hours
make the following declaration of their
idea of a laboring mans day: eight
hours for labor, eight hours for recre-
alton and eight hours fer Sleep" In the
case of Chicago statesmen this division
of the day is not observed. The daily
routine would come nearer the follow
ing: Fourteen hours for labor, eight
hours for sleep and two hours for get
ting to and from the store. By this ar
rangement the salesman can devote all
day Sunday to becoming acquainted
with the folks at home, unless he is en-
ployed in one of the many establish
ments which persist in keeping open be-
tween the hours of s a. m. and noon
each Sunday.
What our association is opposing in
particular is the keeping open on Sun
day." said Harry Denny, the president.
"This has become the rule in the big
clothing houses ON the west side, and
there is no good reason for it, as all
stores are kept open late Saturday even
ing and every one has chance to do
necessary trading without compelling
clerks to work seven days in week.

Fred Smith de Vasconcellas, formerly
a member of the board of public works
for Brazil, said of that country in an in
terview with q Chicago Tribune reporter
the other day:
Land is cheap, and nobody who is
willing to work need suffer from priva-
ton. There is none of that forced idle
ness which you have here in your large
cities. There is no wretched involun-
tary poverty. Nobody is rich, nor is
anybody poor. The commonest labor
gets seventy-five cents day, and living
is cheap. Oh, the revolution? Well, it
was characteristic of our people. You
know how quietly the slaves were eman-
cipated. The American minister said
words about that that have become fa-
nous in Brazil. They are something
like this: what cost our nation millions
in blood and treasure you have accom-
plished by the strewing of flowers That
Is fact. Everybody wore flowers, and
the streets were covered with them"
