Money and Matrimony.

As general proposition it is distinctly
untrue that married couple can live on
less, or on the same amount, or on nearly
the same as the young man alone, very
truly observes the writer. There Is
large personal element in the problem, aud
it is true that many young men with good
salaries never save dollar until after they
marry, but that is neither proof of their
wisdom nor a confirmation of the fallacious
aphorism above quoted. 1t is true that
if the young wife is skillful housekeeper
she can make the daily expenses for food
and lodging somewhat less than they would
be at boarding house of the same grade.
But in order TO do this she must have fur
niture, utensils and all the paraphernalia
Of housekeeping plant. This requires
capital, and if the parlor and kitchen fur
uiture is bought on the installment plan
the happy couple are likely to fnd them
selves minus those articles some chilly
morning As for rent, married couple
usually start out with more than double
the amount of room required for a single
man, 30 that the rent is more than doubled.
Ii both man and woman are earning sal
aries or doing a full share of the join;
labor al the outset, it must not be forget
ten that this state of affairs NAV not con-
tinue indefinitely. If the family of two
becomes one of three, the fallacy Of mar
rying on salary sufficient only for one
will be still more painfully apparent The
test of whether man can marry ON
certain salary or not Is this Can he
save money on it? If he cannot save
2 few hundred dollars before marrying he
had better stay single. If his salary is
large enough to keep family on, bu; still
he cannot save. then his wife may help
him get bank account, but the chances
are that she viii simply be a wretched
drudge Many men learn to cut of their
wasteful habits after marriage aud this Is
the basis Of the popular sophism about two
living on less than one, but the fallacy
nevertheless. Many men find If impossi-
bic 70 live as economically after marriage
as before, and for these the co-t Of
living is more than doubled Is all de
ponds upon the man and woman, but it u
always safe to say that salary too small
TO save the cast Of household outfit upon
Is too small 10 marry upon.

A Hard Won Bet.

ASTERS.


Gone is the summer, its passion is over,
Gone are the birds with their carols of mirth;
Cold are the breezes, they whisper of winter
Coming to blight all the verdure OF earth
Yet in the garden the asters are blooming,
The purple and crimson, the pink and the white
Fairest of crowns Tor autumn's adjoining,
Flooding the place with F7.lo OF light.
Gray are the skies over meadow and mountain,
Brown are the pastures, the stubble IS sere'
Yet The brave asters, undaunted, are blending
Wonderful tints. overlooking with cheer.
Hearts that are lonely, or grieying or weary,
Longing for Joys that have vanished away,
Look on the asters, and learn from their beauty,
When the world frowns it is best to be gay.
