one OF the best girls any fellow ever
Knew and the pride Of village not n
Thousand miles from Pittsburg made n
fatal mistake when she married. Being
such happy girl, go sensible and SO
much sought after by the best young
men in the neighborhood, every one con.
ndently expected her to make q great
catch. But she didn't, and now her
heignDors are wondering how it all hap.
pened. She married fool. That ex-
Plains 1T all. No need to go into details.
The fact that he dressed well and that
ne moved in good society and was known
as very nice young man" will not
make the case any palmer. He is fool.
and that IS all there is about it.
Ills foolishness consisted largely IN
peiievlng that the world was not made
rlght, that the people are wrong hearted
as well as wrong headed, and that it is
the duty OF every one to array himself
against everything US it exists and keen
up a constant grumbling, growing and
complaining. This young man was very
reiigious in sense. He honestly and
faithfully endeavored to keep himself
unspotted from the world by avoiding
contact with it. He went not into bad
company. nor did he patronize picnics
and evening parties, but staid at home
reading good books and thinking how he
could spin for himself cocoon that
would keep the outside world away
from him. He did not realize the fact
that he who has himself for companion
and friend is in very poor company.
1t was this sort of chap that our model
girl married. She ought to have known
better, but she mistook his knowledge Of
books for an evidence of brains and Of
learning. while the fellow really hadn't
two ideas of his own about anything.
The inside history of this case shows that
she did not love him any better than she
had other men, but he was such q nice
young fellow that she thought there
would be no risk taking him. In fact.
she took him in the hope of escaping the
very misery she is now suffering. He
doesn't beat her with club, nor does he
get drunk and smash the furniture, but
he tires her life out by lecturing her,
finding fault continually and never COM
mending. and trying to make her under
stand that her place is at home and that
her duty is to him. Their home is dreary
and chilly. and their lives about the same.
They are both satisfied that marriage
is failure, and they cannot be made to
believe otherwise. It isn't the man who
has the least book knowledge that is the
biggest fool, nor are those who are short
on general information to be classed
with numskulls. Some of the most de.
lightful people one may meet are those
who are blessed with an abundance of
common sense. They know absolutely
nothing of Darwin nor of Briggs and
not great deal about electrical science,
and they may even eat with their knives,
pour their coffee into saucers and blow
the soup to cool it, yet with all these
shortcomings and defects they are the
most delightful people to know. Their
hearts are all right, and they under
stand enough of the science of life to
know how to live comfortably them
selves and to make others happy.
