Matrimony. In the present day, has .
good deal of a business about ii, and this
is especially the case in France, where,
in a large number of marriages, two for
tunes are rather made one than two per-
sons. A practical minded French trades
man, who, IL seems, is in want of wife,
has. according to lie Temps, just left
what may be called n prospectus at the
porters' lodges in a number of Paris
houses. inviting young single women, or
widows without children, to come and
inspect him if they are disposed to
marry, it being stipulated in the circular
that whatever expenses they may have in
Cured will be reimbursed, supposing no
marriage engagement be made. The
tradesman. widower with two little
boys, puts his age down at thirty eight
and his character as good. He is pros
porous in business, his furniture is all
that well-ordered housewife can desire,
and if, with all these adv antages, he sends
round prospectuses in order to find wife,
it is because, lie ng thorough business
man, he has no time to spare to look ont
for one In person. Applicants are earn
estly requested not to show the pros
pectus TO any of his employees when they
call. it being undesirable that they should
be let into their masters little secrets.
Possibly this French tradesman may be a
very worthy man, but if he is so much
engaged in business that he cannot spare
time to look out for wife. ii is to be
feared that whoever may accept his offer
will not be provided with very attentive
hus balid. - London Standard.

The Three Loves and How They Acted.

Idly wandering along a summer lane
bordered with sweet flowers, the young
man arrived at crossing where three
paths spread out in different directions
At the entrance to each path was a
young girl.
The first was blonde, the second was
brunette and the tresses OF the third
were OF the auburn of Titan.
The ewes of the first were blue: the
eyes of the brunette was piercing black
those of the other were cold, hazel
brown.
The first held in her hand some volets;
the second wore at her waist bunch of
carnations; between the teeth OF the third
was n blood-red rose.
The first was slender; her 1.-the figure
bespoke virg grace; her expression was
sweet and trusting and her delicate skin
was radi lntly pure. The second was Of
full form; her full stature was enticingly
graceful. Hor alluring glance and
flushed cheek were indicative of voluptu-
Gus Joy. The third was slight; her
sprightly figure was full of provoking
grace; the penetrating expression OF the
eyes was capriclously varied with subtle
glances of coquetry.
The first maiden spoke to the young
man and said: i am the one who will
spends with love for you. Your glance
causes me to tremble and i will blush
ingly surrender my life TO you. l am the
one who will ever live for thy caress and
thy love- for my soul is thine. / am the
faithful companion of our indissoluble
union. Young man, L will love thee
always"
The second maiden spoke to the young
man and said
L am the one who curously awaits you,
for my idle heart feels somewhat pleased
by your glances. / am the one 10 whom
thy light thoughts turn and l will gayly
abandon myself to thy caresses. / am
the one who will shower love upon thee
for a moment, for L am the free and light
companion who will share thy pleasures
while our transient union lasts.
Young man, l will love thee for q
while.n
The third maiden spoke to the young
nam and said:
Il am the one who has rot awaited thee,
for my heart has never felt the influence
OF love. / am the one who inspires inter-
est in thy thoughts. / will feign love for
thee, but will never be thy slave. am
the one who will Increasingly torture you
with her cruelty. but thou wilt never
move a single fiber of my soul. l am
the perverse companion who will deceive
thee always during our lamentable union.
Young man, l will love thee never"
The young man looked successfully at
the three maidens.
The first seated herself by the roadside
and burst into tears.
The second lightly shrugged her
shoulders and slowly walked away.
The third burst into laughter and
quickly fed and the young man rushed
Oft in pursuit of her.

MeteOric Marie HaltOn.

The career of Miss Marie Halton in
London was that of brilliant meteor.
She flashed upon the half-world with
every accessory of somebody's spoiled
darling. Her private hanson stopped
the way" outside the Criterion and the
Cafe Royale, and her well-groomed ponies
excited envious curiosity in the park.
One or the other of the theaters saw her
nightly in a box flashing with diamonds
and surrounded by men. Then one morn
ing she disappeared. Next she was heard
of queening it like one of Ouida's hero
ines in Moths" and winning fabulous
sums at roulette. and then-tears and
lamentations-and the cable announced
her return to New York. Philadelphia

It Has WIRING the Death Ensn for lao

Years
We have not exactly q banshss in our
family, who foretells by her wailinp an
approaching death, said a lady to the
writer recently in Boston, but we have
had mysterious warning of such given us
time and time again by AN old clock which
mas been IN our family for the last l2O
years: The works were ruined by a shot
hred by British soldier during the revo-
iutionary war at my great grandfather,
which shot. passing entirely through his
BODY, killed him instantly, and then
broke the glass door, penetrating the
works and stopping them forever, for
though innumerable attempts have been
made to repair them IL seemed that some
unknown power kept the clock silent, ex-
cept when death tapped his black wings
over the household, SO it was banished to
the garrett
The first instance of its warming was
when my grandfather died. He had been
very Ill, but the physicians had at last
pronounced him out of danger, and his
family were just congratulating them
selves on this news, when the loud tone 8
OF clock striking twelve, slowly AVID
solemnly. like the tolling of bell, was
heard why, what is that2' said my
grandmother. There was but one other
clock In the house. which was in full
view, SO IL was evident that il was not
that one. 1t is my fathers clock, said
her husband. 1t has struck the close of
my day And before they could reach
him he was dead, just as the last stroke
lad died quivering away.
This occurrence was repeated when
my grandmother herself lay dying. The
old clock struck twelve just as she drew
her last breath, and my father at last be-
heving that there was something super
natural in the affair, had the old works re-
moved, leaving only the hollow case; but
few years after, when my brother was
brought home dangerously wounded
after the battle of Chancellors Vile,
the long, slow, solemn tones of the
old clock were heard as before. and
poor Icons life went out as they died
on the air. They struck for my father
and for my little child, who died last
my sister died in japan. / had just got
ten letter from her. in which she had
spoken of feeling very well, when heard
the old clock which was in the remote
store room strike SO rapidly that the notes
almost mingled, and then began slowly
to strike another twelve strokes. My
sister is dead, said to my hus band, and
has died very suddenly, but who the
other strokes are for / cannot imagine.
Ny husband tried to reason and then
xidicule the idea, but mourned for my
sister as earnestly as though had seen
her die. and when, as l knew / should, I
heard the news of her sudden death,
found it had taken place on the same day
and at the same hour as that on which
the clock struck, allowing for the differ
ence of time between Japan and Boston.
Her baby, a few hours old, died "a few
minutes after the mother"
