The Duke on Marriage.

l wonder IL any man, when he marries
. woman. ever thinks about or realizes
what she relinquishes for his sakep
l am speaking Of the marriages
prompted by love, not those entered
into for the acquisition of wealth or sta
ton, Or both.
Does he value at its real worth that
most precious Of all gifts, true wom-
ans hearty
For him she leaves the shelter of
home, with all its tender associations,
70 be his companion and to journey with
him through life's strange country, o:
which little is known, except that the
.hrightness Of its sunshine is often dark
ened by clouds OF sorrow.
For him she gives up mother, father,
beOthers mud sisters. and, in a large
Measure, her friends.
t6he places with perfect trust her hap
pipess in his hands, which he can do
With as he wills. The power lies with
him to make her life one of bliss or one
OF misery.
Think Of the sacredness of this trust,
u, man and love and cherish your wife
a. the finest and most priceless gem In
yoar diadem of manhood. God willing,
she will be your life cumrade, the sharer
of your Joys and sorrows, ever ready to
rejoice in your prosperity and to sym
pathize with YOU in times of adversity.
your best and truest friend and coun-
selor. TIE DUKE.

destroyed by fire at the Briefs land.

together with her cargo OF thirty-two
hundred sacks Of seed. All that was
saved was the booke of the boat. She
was tied up for the night and all on
board was asleep. The flames star ed
In the after part Of Inc steamer and
spread with such rapidity that in
fifteen minutes she was wholly envel-
oped. With. commendable presence
of mind the Waterman woke all the
officers, the boat carrying no passen-
gers, and all escaped, but lost their
effects. The Wilds was built in
1885 for the Natchez and Bayou Sara
trade. Later she was sold to New
Orleans parties, then bought again for
her original trade, but proved fail
ure against competition. She was
then sold to Wheeling, W. Va,
parties, who practically rebuilt her at
Paducah, KY, few months ago and
they reentered her in the trade in
which she continued. A little over
three months ago she was withdrawn,
since which time she has been making
occasional trips, transporting cotton
seed. She was partially insured at
Wheeling, but no one in Natchez
knows in whose name nor for how
much. Her hull broke in two whom
the FIRE burned out.
