homes of this kind, for which some one is to be held responsible not only for the unhappy home ah no, far from that. They are to be held responsible for one of the sadest crimes that the human heart could.perpetrate, the wreck ing of anothers life. That life may have just bloomed into man. hood, filled with love and happi- ness and as bright as the spark ling dew-drops as the morning sun puts forth it's golden rays to kiss it from the new born rose on which it lies. Not so now, it is dreary, it is forlorn, it is blighted and wrecked and knows no contentment. The rosy cheeks of that individual have paled; they are now wrinkled and care-worn through the long year of grief and sorrow never more in brilliancy to shine again in this life. Truly this is an unhappy home. Marry for love then subscribe for the ARGUS and you'll have naught to fear.
