Is Such Think as Getting Too
Much Of a Good Thing.
Pittspurg Commercial Gazette.
One Of the best girls any fellow ever
knew and the pride Of village not
thousand miles from here made fatal
mistake when she married. Being such
happy girl, so sensible, and so much
sought after by the best young men in
the neighborhood. every one confidently
expected her to make great catch.
But she didn't and now her neighbors
are wondering how it all happened.
She married fool.
That explains it all. No need to go
into details. The fact that he dressed
WE'LL and that he 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. His foolishness con-
sisted largely in believing that the
world was not made right, that the peo-
pie are wrong-hearted as well as wrong
headed, and that it is the duty of every
one to array himself against everything
as it exists, and keep up constant
grumbling, growing and complaining.
This young man was very religious in
sense. He honestly and faithfully
endeavored to keep himself unspotted
from the world by avoiding contract
with it. He went not into bad company,
nor did he patroZine picnics and even
ing parties, but stayed at home reading
good books and thinking how he could
spin for himself IA 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 foran 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 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 turnit-
ure, but he tires her lite out by lectur-
ing her, finding fault continually and
never commencing and trying to make
her understand that her place is at
home and her duty is to him. Their
home is dreary and chilly and their
lives about the same. They are salts
fed that marriage is failure, and they
cannot be made to believe otherwise.
1t isn't the man who has least book
knowledge that is the biggest fool; nor
are those who are short on information
to be classed with nnmb-skulls.
Some of the most delightful people one
may meet are those who are blessed
with an abundance of common sense.
They know nothing OF Darwin. nor of
Briggs. and not a great deal about
electrical science, and they may even
eat with their knives, pour their coffee
into saucers and blow the soup TO cool
il, yet with all these shortcomings aud
defect they are most delightful people
to know. Their hearts are all right,
and they understand enough of the
science of life to know how to live COM
Portable themselves and to make others
happy.
