friends In Lewistown about Nov. 1st.
The bride is well known In Lewis
town, she having resided here for a
period Of two years, during part OF
which time she ably filed the posi-
ton OF organist at the Presbyterian

Mrs. Belden Is highly accomplished
and is possessed of rare musical abil.

like character and kindly disposition,
gained her many warm friends In this
section OF the county, whose warm
congratulations and best wishes ac-
company her on her marital career.

residents Of Fergus county as a
young man Of marked ability and
eloquent address. Since his election

APHORISMS.

When people begin to be critical, they
cease to be pleasant.
There Is a great deal Of difference be
tween a copy and an imitation.
In recipes for happiness goodness
must always be the principal ingre-
dent.
The two great sources Of happiness
are health Of body and strength Of
mind.
Even in choosing to be miserable we
are happy. since there Is happiness. In
every act Of choice.
The misery children make for their
parents is well known: the misery par
ents make for their children not so
well.
Those who teach US that life Is not
worth living should be condemned to
labor for the benefit OF others until
they are in a better frame Of mind

THE NEW TENANT.

Now, when he lett my life ] drew
Close shut the easements ef my heart
And locked the door, and in each part
Strange darkness reignad f0rlon and new.
There pierced no happy sunshine through
The barrier Of fastened doors;
The dust lay thick upon the floors
Where rosemary was strewn and rue.
But on a certain day came one
Who knocked and would not be denied
And thrcw the rusted easements wide
And entered with the wind and sun.
The dingy webs that grief had spun,
The dust that sad neglect had laid,
The faded hansings. rent and frayed,
Had vanished ere his work was done.
Oh, he hath swept my heart for me
Clean Of old sorrowing and doubt
And he hath set il all about
With peace and happy certainty
Oh, home be glad for such as he
And very sweet nor let him find
That ghost one tenant left behind.
That silent, sad eyed memory!
