Match m akiDg His Hobby.

There is a well-known professor at
Harvard for whom the Boston and
Cambridge girls should prepare
crown, says the Philadelphia Press.
Every man has his hobby, and profess
sor Eiot's hobby is in early marriage
of young men and the benefit which
accrues therefrom. The good profess
sor tlouts the old rhyme which
declares that "when a man marries
his troutle begins" His theory is
that when a man marries his troubles
are ended.
The college boy complains that
with Professor Eliot about, it is very
hard for him to remain single until
the finish Of his collegiate period.
For no sooner did the Instructor see
young fellow walk with or talk to
young woman than he seeks a
private interview with the young
man in question, the object of the
interview being to il quire just why
the two ycu"g people may not be at
once joined in the bonds of mstri-
msny. "Well," observed an aged
Philadelphian who heard the story
a few days ago, "tNat professor has
married a good wife-or he isn't
married at all"

From Ram's Horn,

Young lions are often very lean.
Getting the big head shrinks the
heart.
The fears we borrow arc the hardest
to drive away.
Unless you want to be poor don't
try to keep all you get.
1t is harder to dine with some men
than it is to fast alone.
We are rich not in what we have,
but in what we cannot lose.
Live to do ood aud you will never
tire Of your employment.
When a little man is lifted up
everybody finds out that he is little.
The man who thinks he knows
others is great stranger to him
self.
The man who would be considere d
wise often turns to be otherwise.
If you knew that to- m orrow would
be your last day how would you spend
this7
The man who has lived only 70,
himself has wasted his tima nd
robbed the world.
There are some very important les
sons which can only be learned from
mistake.
1t is doubtful if there is any man
who has not at some time in his life
been hypocrite.
The business of fault finding woulc
soon come to an end if every fault
finder could only be we'll introduced
to himself.
Money is one Of the levers tina
moves the world, and it always m o ve
it in the right direction when a godly
man controls it.-Ram's Horn.
