we're mRuy-seemed to him absolutely
worthless and embarrassing. The story
SO often told of Lady Boaconsiisld |
her hand to he crushed in the
carriage dour rather than interrupt ths
flow OF thought in which her husband
was plunged before he was to make n
great speech seemed for long time a
romance, but a man aware OF the facts
assureh me that it was the truth and
that Lady l3oaconBlield would have
allowed herself to be tortured uH they
tortured men and women and children
during the. Spanish inquisition for the
sake of the man she lived.
A friend of the great statesman onUo,
chatting with him, got this description
OF the pleasure of married life:
"rhere is nothing equal to heing
married to woman of wit, woman OF
Intelligence, wumnn whom you love, |
and there is no happiness equal to
bidding her good bye and never Heeing |
when over a cold pheasant and bottle
Of champagne she tells of that which
had Interested her during this hours
when you vera apart und sympRthizes
with you il there is anything that hne
troubled you during the dag. :"
a recent sketch OF Disraeli tolls
little anecdote about him which is new
TO me and possibly may be new to you.
When his wife had grown quite old
and hal a fancy for olinging to old
fashioned gowns, bonnets out of siyla
aud uloaks that lacked chic, n party
OF men at one of the fashionable clulls
| who had Just seen her pass IN her
carriage were laughing about her and
guying her. They did not realize that
| in one corner of the room well hidlten
by newspaper sat the great man.
| After bearing their folly as long ua he
could he iose and. putting his hand ON
| tho shoulder OF the youngest one OF
| tho group, said, "Gentlemen, ii you
are unable to understand anything else,
can you not comprehsnd what gratitude
means?n At the time of his marriage
TO Mrs. WyndhRm the rising statesman
was deeply in dent, and the woman VINO
oved him, being very iirh. pniu all tne
debts and told him that sha Ind got
more than tho worth Of her money
when he thanked her with kias.
These are the things that make life
beautiful You may laugh at them
and call them sentimental; but, oh, my
friend, there is much that is good in
il ia weak since il brings help to any
body. since it hrinps happiness to any
body. 1t IL stronger tnan any other
emotion.
Did you ever come Hcr0sH paragraph
that made you laugh and laugh until
you thought you could never Riop laugh
ing? That has been my fate. What l
road wus this: 1.-The only department
of a paper which l think should be
closed to a lady writer 10 the medical
unless, of course, she is medical
man, y but | actually know of young
woman whu had failed as 40 art critic
being set to answer the medical ia
ouiries OF correspondents on country
nRper. forget TO decimal what the
exact mortality OF the district was al
last. but the proprietor said il she hat
remained much longer on the papel
there would have been no subscriber
,, loft. One Of her replies was this
"Daiay-.Ihanks 40 much for you
kind letter, though your writing Nigh
he clearer. Yes, the mistake WIS mine
1t should have neen quarter OF

Of a pound for your fBther's complaint

Z time hut ] was so very busy. | assur
| Won IntIB IL uU thpdh
o ing than jays" That young wuma
n might have been popular in some dis
. tricts, especially where bores wei
= numerous.
That starts the question What
U popularity? l remember NOS long ae
Q somebody said that a csrtau man wa
. sure to succeed in something becauf
o no was So popular Then wonders
what constituted popular man, an
o close study has taught me this much
IF A popular man is one who is alwal
y ready to take drink and never &c
y drunk.
10 A popular man is one who dress
D; we'll and looks vol, but is not O
= iensively fashionable.
10 A popular man ia one who is on goo
W terms with the barkeeper, who inquir
re after the health OF the walters VIII
III who loves her lord, who buys au apn
from the woman ON the corner and vi
OF NAYS her 8 cents when the price ls
=, cent.
" A popular man is one who has
no ugly wife and who, knowing tho go
~ looks Of yours, says, Jack, what
su handsome woman your wife ISL
70 The popular man is the one who W
70 listen to her tale of woe from woma
VI whether she is 20 and handsome or
er and passee, and then pat her on t
'rs shoulder and advise her TO bc good 81
40 a popular man is tho concentra'
en essence of sympathy. He has SIN
ey for sverybody's joy and pressure
~, the hand, which means much,
IN IN everybohy's sorrow.
,he Feel itP We'll, you and l don't CT
'as whether he feels it or not. 1t is
W. manners that malSs the man, and es
at, cially the popular man, and he
'ty intensely appreciated by that cup
OF sensitive woman who whun you writ
70 letter to her gives you no trouble ab'
oW first names, last names or middle nar
