HINTS TO BRIDEGROOMS.
No Reason Why He should Appear In Such
 Poor Light.

Poor Light.
 There is a modern definition of a bridegroom which is little cruel cer- tainly, but which pretty we'll describes the position of that parsonage. A bridegroom is said to be thing in a black coat who attends weddings. And 1t is quite true that in point of impor- tance he ranks very low down indeed in the eyes of the spectator. Yet there is not the slightest reason really why he should appear in such very poor light as he too often does.
 He need not, for instance, come into church or the room as if he were being led to execution. He need not hang his head as if caught in the commis- sion of crime, or blunder about with an awkwardness which makes every girl present feel thankful she is not in the brides shoes.
 No doubt his position is painful and trying. He feels he is the target for all eyes, when, in fact, he is nothing of the kind. Let him start by con- vincing himself that no one is likely to waste a glance on him when there are the bride and bridesmaids to be looked at, and he will find It easier to pre- serve his self-possession. He must try to look happy, no matter how he feels.
 Can a worse compliment be paid to the girl he has induced to marry him than looking as if he had regretted his folly? He must try to look manly, not only for her sake, but his own, for she is very likely to regret her decision at H., I., -n.- sx seems to affect him. He should look proud.
 Surely it ought to be the prondest moment of his life; he should be elated, and not ashamed. He should be in good spirits, yet not carried away by them.
 A jocular bridegroom is thing one has only to see once to remember with horror for the rest of ones days.-Tit Bits.

A bachelor says, "Man that is mar
ricd' to woman is Of many days aud
full Of trouble. In the morning he draws
his salary and in the evening behold it
is gone: it goeth but he knoweth not
whore. He spendeth sheckels in the
purchase of fine linens to cover the bo-
som of his family, yet he is seen at the
gates of the city with but one suspend
er. He goeth forth as an OK or an ass
and draweth the chariot of his offspring.
He arises clad in the chilly garments Of
the night, and seeketh the somnambu-
lent paregoric, which healcth the colicy
stomach of his offspring. Yea, he is al
together wretched and full of misery.
Wide is the road and broad is the way
that leadeth to matrimony, and many
there be that go in thereat."

A Busy Age.

Every year merchants are becoming
more thoroughly convinced of the value
of advertising. The opportunity to
speak to the people of the COM
munity in which they do business
through the columns of newspaper is
certainly one deserving of appreciation,
and is one of which every live business
man will avail himself. 1t is also valuable
information to the people, who natur-
ally desire to know where they can get
what they want, and where they can
buy to the best advantage. This is
busy age, and the man who would be
successful must keep up with the pro-
cession. on.--Punxsutawney Spirit.

At the present time there is consider
able talk about the roads of this coun-
try and the means of improving the
same. Cad Gordon, one of Brookville's
bright lawyers, gives it as his opinion
that the best and cheapest way to reme-
dy the bad roads is to pass law COM
pelling people, within five years after
the passage of the same. to have six
inch tires on all wagons and to have
them so constructed that the hind
wheels will not follow in the tracks of
the front ones, but will run on the out
side of them, and thus twelve inches of
the road on either side will be packed
down instead Of being cut to pieces,
when the ground is soft, by two inch
tires. Mr.. Gordon thinks it would be a
good idea to put two inch tires on bug
gies and make them so the hind wheels
will not follow In the tracks of the front
ones. One thing certain, it will take
an immense amount Of money to curb
and ballast the public roads of this coun-
try as some people suggest

Every man has right to take pa
per, or to stop it., for any reason, or for
no reason at all. But at the same time
there is certain responsibility attach
ed to all actions, even to so trivial u
one as stopping paper because the
editor says something one doesn't agree
with. There is complaint that newspa-
per editors lack fearlessness and hon
esty. There is some truth in the
charge: but let us ask how ii is possible
for fearless, honest, outspoken journal
to live if every man is to cry, stop my

which does not accord with his views?

lacks enterprise and fails to give you
the news, stop it. When some other
paper gives you more OF value, stop it.
But don't stop paper which you be-
iieve to be honest, courageous, enter
prising and clean, simply because its
editor has written his own sincere views
