THEOLD, OLD STORY.

After two young people have
sst their hcals AMI ira le their
hearts, il seems to be practically
impossible to thwart them in
their determination TO marry each
other. Parental opposition usu-
ally makes them desperate in
tleir purposes All aids risk m q
zest to a regulation runaway
match. Romantic young people
as naturally eaSor to prove
their confidence in ea,h other
AMI are not apt to stop to listen
even 10 pa-ants whom they have
full moon and a sensational op-
portunity to do 50. Sometimes
the wayward lovers are foolish; (;
sometimes the parents unreason-
able ana weak; sometimes all
han Is are as thou ghtless as
gcasshoppers ana as stubborn as
the devil wants them. 1t has
been just this way from the first.
Right here is an important ma, :
ter, concerning which even the
civilized world seems TO have
made no improvement, no pro-
gress whatever. Rarely bright
October day passes without hall
n dozen accounts of such risky
mating. Tho angry father pur-
sues the fleeing lovers. They
race for the court house and are
spliced just in time to make Gu
pids triumph complete. They
are forgiven, etc. II parents
were not so narrow and unreason-
able in such matters and il ro-
mantle daughters hal better
training and more sense, oI
course there would be fewer
elopements. 1t may also be ad-
ded that there would be fewer
matrimonial disappoinrments and
failures and fewer young womer

Paris correspondent of tho London

Neither Casimir Perior nor anybody

When the bourgeuisie perceive that the
socialists are agreed on devouring them,
differing only as TO the sauce with
which they arc to be served up they
will recommenco the game which has
been going on for century. They will
ding themselves into the arms of de-

simply for riddance from the nightmare
Of socialism. They will acclaim the man

Original.

John Hookham Frore was scholar
and man of much literary ability, but
one of those whose work, for some rea-
son, finds very slight hearing, But
even il his literary work should be quite
forgotten tho stories Of his absence Of
mind will live as long as incongruous
error continues to amuse.
One day he sat repeating some verses to
Mr.. John Murray in Mr.. Murray's Office,
and his host became SO interested in the
poem that he asked the poet 10 go home
with him to dinner and continue tho
recitation. Mr.. Frcrc, startled to find it
SO late, excused himself. He had been
married that morning, he said, and ii
was already past the hour when ho had
promised his wife TO be ready for their
journey into the country.
Another such story rests ON the au-
thority of his wife herself. Mr. Frera
had Just been introduced to her at an
evening party and offered to take her
down stairs TO procure some refresh
ment He became so Interested in their
conversation, however, that he drank
the glass of negus he had poured for her
and was about TO conduct her up stairs
when she laughing y demonstrated with
him for having for rsotten her needs.
This" she said, convinced me
that my new acquaintance was, at any
rate, very different from most of the
young men around usp'-Youth's Com.
