No man has right to marry till, in
every human probability, assured that
he can support a family in his own sta
ton. Mere love or improvident matches
seldom turn out well; poverty comes,
and there is so much self reproach on
either side that gall is added to its bit
terness; their tempers are soured, and
they soon wish themselves unmarried
But when trials assail an attached, a
reasonable pair, sorrow unites them
closer; the man, feeling how much de-
ponds on him. never flags in his exertion.
and often RECEIVERS the lost step: If not,
there is still consolation in his wifes un-
varying love-in her sweet. noiseless

there are few commercial men who
have not met with reverses, and they

Wife and children! They are beacon
to us in our troubled sea; we renew the
struggle when ready to sink beneath the
wave, and at last are saved. At the
worst. when all is black-when friends

who respects and loves us; at home we
are still dear.-New York Ledger.

of material that looks like FURNISHED
gold or polished brass. 1t sets closely to
the head in front. and extends upward
as if it were going to end. or rather

crown. But she isn't wearing any such
mark of power. She has simply put on
her fall bonnet and is wearing it, not for
the purpose of astonishing the natives,
but simply because it is fashionable. If
she is very fashionable woman she has
had piece of her dress material let into
the top of her FURNISHED gold hat. and
at the very back of the whole affair she
has caused whole field of brass daisies
to be fastened upright. so that they nod
upon their wiry stems and wave to and
fro as their wearer walks or talks, bows
or nods.-New York Letter

A Giant Horse.

There is in Detroit an equine thorough
bred which is pronounced not only the
handsomest, but one of the largest horses
in existence. He is in truth giant, and
the veriest novice in horsefesh could not
but view his size and beauty without q
certain feeling Of awe. This colossal
animal is years old and is II hands
high, weighing 1895 pounds. An ordi-
nary sized man cuts but small figure
beside him. He is a dark chestnut in
color, with superb name and tail. He is
owned by Richard Tregaskis. and can
trot in four minutes.
1t seems u pity that there will be none
Of his progeny. He was imported from
France by Kentucky horse breeder,
who paid 5000 for him. When put in
the stud the animal became q veritable
fend. he would kick and bite on the
slightest provocation. and no one could
do anything with him. He soon killed
one attendant and short time after an
other man fell q victim to the vicious
brute. The death Of these two men
caused the owner to change the animal
into a gelding, and with good effect. his
temper being greatly improved. Detroit

A Dogs Love for Another Dog.

l hal two puppies of the Molussus,
commonly called the Maremma, breed;
large, white, very beautiful dogs, with
long hair; varying in size between a
Newfoundland and a collie; the old
Greek race of watch dogs to which,
quite certainly, Argos belonged. These
puppies, named Pan and Paris, lived
together, fed, played and slept together,
and were never separated for moment
for seven months. In the seventh month
Paris fell i'll of diste1nper and died.
Now, by my own observation, can
declare that Pan nursed his brother as
assiduously as any boy could have
nursed another; licked him, cleaned
him, brought him tempting bits to eat;
did all that he could think Of; and
when his brother at last lay there cold
and unresponsive to his efforts, his grief
and establishment were pitiful to see.
From that time he ceased to play; from
being a very lively dog he grew grave
and sad; he had a wistful, wondering
inquiry in his eyes which it was pathetic
to behold; and although he lived for
many years after, and was as happy as a
dog can be, he never recovered his spirits;
he had buried his mirth in the grave Of
Paris. Something was lost for bizn with
lis brother which he never regained.
This is the only instance have known
of dogs love for another dog.-Ouida
