and with the approach of the wedding day her I'M
happiness increased. Fortunately fire burned
down the obnoxious house and all it contained,
and the lover discovered his mistake in time to ap-
ply the insurance to more judicious purchase.
The situation is hardly overdrawn. What could
be more horrible than to have to live with wall
paper or carpet which one disliked?-Ex.
What could be more horrible, indeed? There
are many things that might be more horrible.
What if the floor was left bare and the wall devoid
of paper, or, worse still, the cupboard be found in
the same condition as that of the ancient dame
who wished to give the poor dog bone. Carpets
and furniture that are not selected with an eye to
the eternal fitness of things, might be endured, for
there would be consolation in the thought that
they would wear out and be replaced by others
selected with more care but habits become so
much part of the person, that they are rarely
changed So coarse habits would be harder to
endure than the sight of harmless furniture. In
truth, there are many, very many things that would
try the nerves, tax the patience and prove far
greater crosses in daily life than house poorly
furnished.

WHY MEN DO NOT MARRY.

The New York World has recently closed its
contest which has been open nearly four weeks
and subject to prize of $40 for the best ideas
sent in on the subject "Why Young Men Do Not
Marry"
Questions pertaining to life are always import
ant, and discussions that are to benefit humanity
are laudable, for it is reasonable to suppose the
cause of an evil being found, the work of reform
begins. eff thine eye offend thee, pluck it OUT
if danger turks in your midst and it cannot be
removed at once, put out signal-this is the
benefit derived by discussion.
The sentiments of philosopher named Selden
seem to have distinct application to the question
in hand, when he said:
Marriage is desperate thing. The frogs in
Esop were extreme wise, They had a mind to
some water, but they would not leap into the we'll
because they could not get out again.
Mr. Esop night have continued his fable about
the frogs with telling effect, in this wse-So they
hoped around in the mud for a while, and then
when they wanted to get into the clear, limpd
water of the well, they found it securely covered,
and then they regretted their foolishness."
1t is the experience and observation of man that
no matter how besmirched his character, when he
chooses to enter the beautiful rosebud garden of
girls and select bud to Glove, honor and cher
ish, a round dozen take on deeper blush to
tempt and bewilder him in his choice.
This is due to that remarkable system which has
been in vogue since the world began, known as
sex in morals.
One of the greatest movements on foot in the
world to-day is called "Social Purity" In the
condition of affairs it seeks to reform will be found
the key to many an evil which threatens society,"
at which society does not even elevate its eyebrows
For the present conditions of social impurty
woman alone is responsible. So long as she con-
tinues to plant her standard of manhood on the
low plane society has established by long precedent
man will have no trouble in living up to it,
Woman even is known to readjust her standard to
suit his convenience If she cannot look up to
him. she inclnes to grovel that he may still be
higher
Woman is the foundation stone of society IT'S
well when the world pins its faith to her, she is not
found wanting. IT'S on this account that I'M
worthy women-women no worse than many men
are consigned to the unfathomable pit of social
ostracism, from which they can never rise.
Mothers establish for their sons a different
standard of morals from their daughters, and yet
she believes in her son. In her heart of hearts is
he ensTined He can in no wise put by the crown
placed on his brow by mothers hand.

GEORGE ELIOT says "a difference in tastes in
jokes is great strain upon the affections" The
lnimitable Anstey in q recent short story finds a
difference of tastes in house-furnishlng equally
destructive to harmony. A fond lover, thinking
to surprise and delight his bride, during her alb
sence bought and fitted up the house which was to
be their mutual home. The feelings of the un-
happy woman must be imagined rather than por
trayed Heroicaly, however, she suppressed any
remark and got out of the house without betray-
ing her disappointment. Then followed period
of psychologist bewilderment. Surely she loved
her betrothed; still, when that love was weighed
against the carpet and wall paper With which it
must be associated ii in some considerable de-
gree fell short. Then she would accuse herself of
ingratude and she finally resolved to die Of agony
rather than to reveal the despicable character of
her woes. Having arrived at this admirable solu-
ton of the difficulty she visibly faded and dropped
