THE MARRIED STATE,
Word to Those Who Are About to Enter

4 Word to Those Who Are About to Enter
1t Thoughtlessly.
1t is incredible how many people enter
the marriage state utterly unprepared
for its duties or cares. Beyond the ex-
element attending the trousseau, the
wedding journey. the desire to be the
one chosen out of all the rest, very few
girls thoughts go. This seems to be
true in all walks of life. The higher
one goes in the social scale the more
mercenary it becomes, and too many
times mere matter of business, the ad-
iusting of properties and uniting of
family moneys and interests.
The significance of marriage extends
far beyond individual happiness. 1t de-
cides also the prosperity of the country.
With pure. happy homes we can weather
all storms, but homes of discord, unlove-
illness and unhappiness will only cause
the greatest OF wrecks. Any one famil-
lar with literature will recognize in the
biographies of eminent men the half
vailed background that hints of unhappy
marriages, and the numbers are aston
ishing.
/ The increase of divorce calls for the
attention of our thinking people. 1t
tells sad, sad story. Once welded to
an uncongenial partner, ones life is
robbed of all its sweetness and ioy.
Divorce will be granted, but what will
ever bring back the bloom of life swept
away by ruthless hand?

Every one must see daily instances
OF people who complain from mere
habit OF complaining; and make their
friends uneasy and strangers merry by
murmuring at evils that do not exist
and repining at grievances which thew
do not really feel.-Graves.
The fountain of content must sprinp

knowledge of human nature as to seek
happiness by changing any thing but his
own disposition, will waste his life in
fruitless efforts and multiply the griefs
which he purposes to remove.-Samuel

TWO YEARS AHEAD,

The next Presidential election is still two
years away, but several events have oc-
CURED recently which have bearing upon
the contest in 1892. The most signifi-
cant is the appointment of Colonel Fred
erick n. Dow Collector of Customs at
the port of Portland. President Harri-
son in choosing Colonel Dow for this
place, which is one of the most potential in
Maine politics, must have known that it
would be taken as a slap at the Hon.
Thomas Bracket Reed and contrariwise a
delicate compliance with Mr.. Blaine's de-
sires. Mr.. Reed had a candidate for the
place, MIR. NIlliken, but not only was he
rejected, but an out-and-out Blaine man was
chosen.
AS matter of course the appointment
indicates the Presidents preference of the
Blaine wing in Maine, and possibly of some
understanding between Mr.. Harrison and
his Secretary of State as to the Presidential
nomination in 1892. Some Democratic
papers would have US believe that the Pres
ident In thwarting Speaker Reed is looking
ahead to his own chances for denomination.
A fairer and more sensible conclusion is
that Mr.. Harrison is throwing what weight
he can to the SIDE of the Maine statesman,
who. by his self-denial, gave tine Indiana
candidate tie nomination in 1883.

THE NEW TARIFF.

The man who has to pay little more for
his imported cigar, or his Bass ale, or his
cognac, or his champagne, because the new
tariff law increases the duties on these
articles, can stand it. These things are
luxuries, and the men who buy them
habitually are able to afford the small in
crease in price. There is not the least proba-
bility ofeven its most violent enemies at
tacking the new law on this ground. But
even if the smoker or the jrinker finds the
effect of increased duties burdensome he has
a remedy always. He can buy the products
of his own country; the wines and brandies
of California, the fragrant weed rolled in
Key West. Certainly in the case of the
grapes juice he is likely to get better value
for his money if he buy the product of
American vineyards. In purse and stomach
alike will he profit.
The amended tariff must be tested by time
before its exact effects can be apprehended,
but that it will be generally and thoroughly
beneficial there is not much reason to doubt.
1t is what the people of the United States
asked for when they elected Mr.. Harrison
President. The most important promise in
the Republican platform of 1888 is fulfilled
in the Mckinley tariff law. In this region
the law is bound to affect our established in
dustries favorably, and through its new pro-
tective features more than one important
manufacture will be added to Pittsburg's
large list. The making of timed plate
alone, as our readers already know, prom
ises to assume great proportions in the near
future. Without rehearsing further the ben
efts of the measure it will be seen that the
country has good cause to be satisfied with
the efforts of Congress in the line of protec-
tion, and that the increased duties upon
certain luxuries, which are discussed in our
local columns to-day. can work no material
hardship to any American citizen. The dis
satisfaction of Europe with the law is not
our concern, although it is good testimony
to the efficacy of the protective principle.

THE MIND-READING FRAUD.

The mind-reader is one of the mild af-
fictions and refined frauds which the last
years OF this century will hereafter he noted
for producing in great quantities While
art and science and all that is useful or
beautiful have been advancing the decep-
tious and humbugs have not been standing
still. The prime excuse for the progress in
deception is the survival of the foolish ma
jority to whom Carlisle alluded at the e1-
pense of the inhabitants of England. If there
were not gullible people, plenty of men and
women positively eager to be deceived, mind
readers, spIrit-rappers, Buddhist seers, for
tune tellers and their kind would not con-
rinuc in the business. There is no foolish
ness about the mind-reader, or the lady or
gentleman who will for a consideration put
you in communication with the spirit world.
They are reading minds-and very well they
read them, too-for living.
The Chicago Tribune has been to the
pains 10 expose the alleged mind reading"
performances of Paul Alexander Johnstone
OF St. Paul Johnstone is the very latest
worker OF wonders in this direction. He
has performed all sorts of entirely useless
featS-of divination, and the usual throng Of
opeD-mouthed dupes has surrounded him
for weeks. Now the exposure OF the mys-
terry of mind reading" as practiced by
Johnstone has tumbled another idol from its
pedestal and broken it all to bits. The per-
Torrance is shown to possess no greater mys-
terry than is concerned in C sleight-of-hand
"aet" on the stage, and in fact requires far
less ingenuity and paraphernaiia than are
needed for the average trick done by the
original Jacob, The Wizard of the North,
Hermann, and host of other less cele-
brated prestidigitateurs who have at differ
ent times ministered to the amusement
and mystifcation OF the public But
there is this important difference be-
tween it and them. The tricks
Of the magician" of our day are professedly
dclusious, the hand of the performer being
advertised to beat the eye of the observer,
while this is fraud in the worst sense of
the word, being designed and intended to
mislead into erroneous views of the possible
influence of mind over matter. Il belongs
to the class Of impostures which are to-day
headed by the dark cabinet that con-

ApAIR OF FARCHITECTURAL JEWELS.

The American flag will fly from our new
postofice to-day. completed, at last, so far
as the stone work and body of the super
structure is concerned. We congratulate
Superintendent Malone in arriving at this
state of proficiency while yet in the prime
of life. His shoulders are not so bent, nor
is his hair so white as the evil prophets OF
the opposition to Mike many q time and oft
in their grimly humorous way ventured to
anticipate.
We must admit that new generation has
appeared upon the scene, and grown up to
manhood, since Mr.. Malone's first labors on
the foundation began. But whatever the
excruciating delay at the start the Superin-
tendent, under the spur of our active new
Postmaster Mexican, has shown burst of
speed on the homestretch which fairly takes
awav our breath. Now let the details
be finished; and Pittsburg will, in its
always famous County Court House and its
beautiful new Postofice have two architec-
tual Jewels worth while for strangers to
travel hundreds of miles to see.
