and desperately poor, but that was no

his threadbare clothes. there was that
about him which impressed. He dined
with us for several weeks, of and on.
When he did not, it was. as we learned
later. because all his money had gone
for the rent OF his little attic room. or
for sculptor's materials.

Marriage as a Life Preserver.

A certain set OF philosophers, incap-
able of feeling affections Tor anyone but
themselves, has delighted at sncering
at love and marriages; and has argued
that batchelorhood isthc only conserv-
alive state. But their theory is not
borne out by the statistics OF married
and single life in naolern times, so
far ut least as the masculine gender is
concerned. II longevity is desirable,
then it is better that NC should mar
ry than remain bachelors; for it app
pears, that, ut every age, from 20 to
85, the death rate OF the benedicts is
very much smaller than that of their
minated brethren. Gentlemen who
prefer short life and merry one to
n prolonged lease OF matrimonial pla-
cidity will probably agree in opinion
with the cynical philosophers~-New
York Ledger.

Behind the woods tho lights OF the vii

Do Clothes Make a Boy7

'Do clothes make boy?" No
clothes make clothes. What are
clothes? They are an expression of
character. A boy who respects him
self will dress as decently as he can
simply and clearly says Hexekiah
Butterworth, in The Ladies' Home
Journal for August. A boy who re.
spects the worth OF lie will not dress
conspicuously even II he have the
means. He is best dressed whose APP
pearance excites no special attention.
aud causes no critical remarks. Con-
spicuous dress goes with light head,
and very indefinite purpose in life.
Dress does not make the boy, but IL
it often exhibits him, theatrical dress
in society is in bad taste; but every
one owes it to others to look as well
as he can. Neglected dress shows a
want OF self-respect, and lack OF self
respect arises as rule from sense OF
cheapness of character. It is often
impossible for a poor boy to dress rs
well as he would wish. But he can al
ways express his well-dressed charac-
ter by making his clothes neat and
tasteful.

Fighting tho Moths.


Maud and have just had vigor-
Gus moth hunt, previous to putting
everything away before leaving town.
We had heard fearsomet tales ofruined
carpets and riddled furs from some
friends, so we devoted a morning to
preventive measures and worked
really hard. We brushed our furs till
our arms ached, examined our coats
and winter gowns till our eyes were
sore with the intentness of our search
for tokens Of the attacks OF the little
silvery winged things. How easily
they are put out OF life. A touch does
it, and one cannot help regretting that
they must dree their wierd, so in
offensive and even pretty do they
look. Unlike earwigs andN spiders,
and the horrible black beetle, the
moth does not arouse feelings of DIS
taste and adherence by it's very pres
ence. But their progeny are what

equal parts OF black pepper and bitter

venience when applying it, by making
us sneeze continuously and violently.
As Maud remarked, if it made the
moths sneeze in proportion, one per-
Torrance would be sufficient to ami
hilate the performer. We feel delight
full now that we have put away every
thing, and had all the wardrobes,
&C., done over the insides
with carbolic soap. We broke up
three cigars to stow pieces away IN

them to us for that purpose. He says
