Mistakes I'm Marriage.

1t is better to not marry at al
than to make a mistake. How many
good women do you know whose
condition is far worse than if they
had lived and died old maids!
They are slaves instead of the queens
they expected to have been and theil
husbands are either negligent Oh
despotic instead of being the
thoughtful, loving lords they had
painted them.
1t is within the power Of every
woman to learn and to know the
character and disposition of the MAJ
to whom her heart goes out in affec-
ton. 1t may require some time.
but it is time well spent. The true
nature of any man will show Itself
in time. He may hide it for weeks,

sure you know him as he is before
you bind yourself to him.

the chief objection is the scandal

calls the most disgusting features of

run upon a very low plane when it
confesses itself unable to find a bet
ter way of dealing with crime or
idleness than by putting the labor OF
convicts on the auction block,

THOSE who are not climbing ovel
themselves to secure an Office under

idea of the number of people who

for the crumbs that drop from the

CityTribaHe, referring to this matter,
says:
Some idea of the extent of office
seeking may be gathered from the
statistics relating to fourth-class
post-ofices. OF these offices there
are over $4,000. 1t has been esti-
mated that an average of ten appli-
cants exist for each office. This
would make an aggregate of CSC, 600.
There were $3.50, $50 votes cast
for Mr.. Cleveland in the entire coun-
try. It would appear, therefore, il
any degree of confidence a be
placed in this estimate, that about
one Cleveland voter out of eight il
after a postroffice.
This seems incredible, and when
one takes into consideration that
there is a vast number of other Off
ces with perhaps a greater average
number of applicants astonishmenl
