WAITING FOR DEATH.

For a long time my friend fingered
about waiting to see if the poison in the
tobacco would work. but If it did the
elephant Asiaticus kept very mum upon
the g iect And so another romance of
the good old days was spoiled forever
But perhaps the memory of the elephant
is so very long that 1t is not good for
shooting at short range. ! have suggest

HAPPY MARRIAGES.

Matrimonys Ten Commandments, Formed
by Theodore Parker.
When Theodore Parker was married
he entered in his journal on his we'd
ding day the following resolutions:
First-Never, except for the best rca-
sons, to oppose my wifc's will.
Sccond-To discharge all duties for
her sake freely.
Third-Nevcr to scold.
Fourth-Ncver to look cross at her.
Fifth-Ncver to worry her with com.
mands
Sixth-To promote her picty.
Seventh-To bear her burdens.
Eighth-To overlook her foiblcs.
Ninth-To save. cherish and forever
defend her.
Tcnth-To remember her always in
my prayers. Thus, God willing, we
shall be blessed.
The commandments which Parker put
upon himself are like the old dcclloguc,
all comprchcndcd in onc-lovc. Love
is the fulfilling of the matrimonial as
we'll as of the Jewish law.
