 Story of Lady Lyiton.
 If we turn to the ranks of literary men we again find cases both for and against the theory of Lord Kitchener. Take the noyelists of our time. The life of Dicssens was eupbittered by domestic incompati- bilty.

 The experience of Lord Lytton was even with the lady who was destined to be his wife. Some of my readers who atten- lively perused newspapers some ten or firteen years ago may remember ceie- brated law case--a case which settled the law forever on the question of the owner snip of letters. in which the point at is- sue was whether or not a lady who had been a friend Lady Lytton was at lib- erty to publish. .ne letters which had been written by Lytton to nis wife. wife duTins .ha, the letters were the property of their writer, and that, therefore, the family of Lord Lytton had right to prevent the publication of Lord Lytton's letters.
 It was we'll for his fame that the de- cision was C. this kind. for the few letters that were delivered to the public were specimens. of such arrant and almost im- beetle passion as would have made the poor man of letters appear on the same level as the inspired grocer's assistant who quotes the poetry of the valentine. or the infatuated servant lady's maid who sends crosses for kisses.
 Lurid Light on Lytton Case.
 ,f One of the most tragic in that excellent collection of good stories. the Cigarette Papers of MT. Joseph Hatton-one of the most tragic stories, Is that which Mir Hatton quotes from Sir William Fraser the we'll known reconteur. It throws a lurid light on the married life of Lord Lytton. Here 1t is:
 Lord Lytton had just been appointed to the high position of Secretary of State for the Colonies. He had been reelected for Hertford on his elevation. Free from care, he was full of hope, and for the The brief ceremony of an unopposed re- turn had passed away with perfect tran quillity. He had just finished his ad- dress of thanks to the sheriff. when he observed from his position on the hustings the vast crowd opening in the rear. and in its midst a passage being formed, along which advanced female, who ap- peared to be of gigantic dimensions. Shs was dressed In complete suit of deep yellow, the color of his political adver- a yellow parasol. She waved it above her head as she approached the hustings. She was rouged; had more hair than was her own. Her voice was loud; her manner menacfng.
 Quote Words of Author.
 "T thought, said Lord Lytton. to quote his own words for the remainder of the narrative, that she might be some poor enthusiast deeply impregnated with whig opinions. which. as you know, were form erly my own.

My experience is that men who delay mar riage bring to 1t, when 1t does arrive. none of the freshness of emotion which is it's chief guarantee of happiness: and that apart from this the man who does not marry young misses as much the true freshness of married happiness and en- ioyment of fife as the man who gets up late in the afternoon does the delights of early day.
