WHY psonls G., Married.

Though 1t is very common TO reproach
old bachelors with their celibacy, and to
pity old maids. as if single blessedness
were a misfortune, yet many married
people have seen fit to offer apologies for
having entered into what some profane
wag has called the "holy bands of pad
lock-" One man says he got married to
get housekeeper; another to get rid of
bad company.
Many women declare they got married
for the sake of home; few acknowledge
that their motive was to get husband.
Goethe averred that he got married in
order to be respectable. John Wilkes
said he took wife to please his friends. 4"
Wycherly, who espoused his housemaid,
said he did it to ~spite his relations.
A widow who married second hus-
band said she wanted somebody to con-
dole with her for the loss of her first.
Another, because she thought wedding
would "amuse the children" Another
to get rid Of incessant importantly from
crowd of suitors.
Old maids who get married invariably
assure their friends that they thought they
could be more useful" as wives than as
spinsters. Nevertheless Quilp gives it as
his opinion that nine-tenths of all p non
who marry, whether widows or widow
ers, spinsters or bachelors, do so for the
sake of getting married. Tid

Inevitable.

The force of logic is sure to be fire.
sistible in the end. Weaker motives may
temporarily prevail, but the sledge
hammer of reasoning is that which in
evitably strikes home. John Gladstone,
the father of the great English states
man, trained his children to give a
reason for every opinion they offered.
1t was in this way that William E.
Gladstone was early trained TO debate.
On one occasion William and his sister
Mary disputed as to where a certain pict-
ure ought to be hung. An old Scotch
seryan. came in with a ladder and stood
irresolute while the argument progressed,
but as Miss Mary would not yield Will
lam gallantly ceased from speech, though
unconvinced.
The servant then hung up the picture
where the young lady ordered, but when
he had done this he crossed the room and
hammered a nail into the opposite wall.
he was asked why he did this.

GnnhIInr.

The psychological analysis Of the actof
gambling leads to a still more stern con-
clusion. In the making of bet, as we
have seen, a man resolves to repress the
use of his reason, his will. his conscience.
his affections; only one part of his nat
ure is allowed free play, and that is his
emotions. The man is permitted TO fear
or hope, to grieye or rejoice as much as
he likes, and most of his pleasure, in the
heart of the true gambler, arises from the
intensity with which each and all of
these emotions can be reused as he looks
at the one possibility and then the other.
uncertain which is to be his finally over
that bet. The feeling of uncertainty
probably heightens the vivid imagination
of the alternatives and becomes itself n
strong Intoxicating emotion. He sits
there only being of strong emotions,
who dares not think and can not act,
chained and seeing ruin or fortune has
tening upon him, he knows not which.
He then who spends much of his time in
this pursuit violently stops the flow of
energy to those other parts of his nature
which are intended to control and ration
alize his feelings, and concentrates upon
that one channel the whole energy of his
being. The mental psychologists will tell
us that this strain upon the emotions can
not but result in serious mischief TO the
brain and the balance of the mans
powers.-GTeater Britain.
