An Ambiguous Epitaph.

A well-known and highly respected
fireworks manufacturer died recen,Iy
in the north of England and his wife
ordered very expensive tombstone to
be erected in his memory. She was
very much perturbed, for no epitaph
submitted to her did she consider suit
able. After prolonged and diligent
search she discovered one she thought
to be appropriate on the tombstone of
n prominent musician in II Manchester
cemetery. Now on the memorial stone
of THIS noted fireworks manufacturer
1t Is stated so that he who runs may
read that HE has gone to the one
place where his works are eXcelled."

Queen ViCtOria's Husband.

Writing Of Prince Albert in an arti-
Gle in the Century. on 1.-The Royal

Browning says:
''From the first the Prince identified

soul. Rising every morning with the
dawn, the Prince went into his work.
room, where their two tables stood
side by side, and read all their CORE
spondence, arranging everything for
the Queens convenience when she
should arrive. He knew all her
thoughts and assisted all her actions,
yet so adroit and self-sacrifcing was
his conduct that oil the merit and pop-
ularity came to her. The people had
no idea that he interfered with public
affairs, yet, had they reflected, they
must have known that it was newt.
able. Once during the Crimean war,
when the notion got abroad that the
Prince had INTERVIEWED, there were
talks Of treason and Of sending him
to the Tower; yet on the day of the
Princes death, on that cold, Ice-bound
Saturday, Charles Kingsley said to the
present writer: He was King Of En-

2lavinu with Moral Fire.

In various parts Of the country there
has been an extraordinary numDer Oh
tragedies Of late arising out of the adVen-
lures Of unmarried women with married
men. Morbid literature, chiefly OF 1or-
eign birth or extraction, has been pro-
noting in this country the myth OF pla-
tonic affection between men and women,
married and single. Almost invariably
the prismatic illusion is actualized in
son,ber ending. If crime does not slnlrch
both the parties or annihilate elthcr the
reputation Of both suffer, and 1t IS the
unwritten law that the woman IN such
case suffers beyond repair, while the gull
ty man escapes or endures with compIa-
cency the stigma which cannot be ef-
faced from the future Of his companion.
There is no prudence in mincing words
about these escapades. A married man
or woman who seeks intimate and con-
slant companiQnship outside the family
circle to which he or she belongs is eth
er libertine or fool.
No plea Of extenuation can be set up
for the moral laches OF a married man or
married woman. They know perfectly
we'll that they are playing with fire or
playing the trapper of inexperiencc. No
family Of intelligence or self-respect will
tolerate social attentions from married
man to an unmarried woman when those
attentions transcend the bounds Of abso-
lutte decorum. Yet mothers who are am
bilious or avaricious will let their inno-
cent daughters play with this moral fire
with whose fame nine times in ten they
are bound to be burnt.
Many a blackened home is grim
monument to the satanic character Of the
myth Of platonic love between married
men and unmarried women and no less
often between married women and un-
married men.-Chicago Chronicle.

The Press and Crime.

Much has been said and written upon
the idea that the press, by the publication
OF the details Of crime incites to the
commission Of other crimes. Because the
details Of Il suicide or Il murder are so,nc
times copied by other suicides or muir
derers there arc those who gcneralize
from that fact that a curb should be put
upon the press to restrain them from CIV
ing the sensational incidents Of such ira
gedies.
People who argue in that fashion to
such conclusions understand human ma
ture impcrfectly. They who know most
OF the psychology Of the human animal
understand that there is no rigid law Of
imitativencss that will explain incidental
rcplcatons Of example. The futility Of
appealing to any such law was evidence
cd i'll the cases Of Cain and Abel. The
law does not exist, else both those boys
would have been righteous instead Of but
the one, and to-day we would be rejoicet
by seeing only good boys and good girls
in the families Of which the parents are
models Of morality.
Humanity is born croked-twisted into
living Interrogation point. 1t wants
to know all about things as soon as it
finds out that there are things. 1t instinc-
lively wants to put this and that together
and get at the ends OF things-and that
is why the baby tries to put his toes in
his mouth! That same Unborn curiosity
follows the human creature always and

Changes of a Lifetime.

1t took the Roman republic some ages
to pass from the simple poverty Of its
early days upon the seven hills to the
age OF Augustus, but the American re-
public has made that change in one gen
GRAFTON.
In the second decade of the nineteenth
century the lives of the American people
were severely simple and plain. Most Of
the necessaries Of life were raised on the
farm by the people living on it. Most Of
their trading was done by barter. The
country people scarcely ever got in the
course Of year more than enough money
to pay their taxes. The farmers houses
were almost destitute of furniture. Ex-
ccpt a few school books and the family
Bible. there was no reading matter, ex-
cept in favored neighborhoods where two
or three families took weekly newspa-
per together. Mails were infrequent and
postage was almost prohibitory. The era
Of invention had not begun. The only
means Of cooking was the open fire and
the brick oven. Meat was roasted by
suspending from a cord attached to a
hook in the ceiling. 1t was with great
difficulty that fires were started or kept
going. Tools and food and the labor Of
men and animals were freely borrowed
and lent. Farming tools were rude and
deficient. The poverty Of farms in re-
spect to tools made it impossible for farm
crs to prosper except by cattle raising
and the cultivation Of the small grains.
Heating stoves or furnaces were I'M
known. Communication between dis
tant parts Of the country was practically
nonresident and transportation was Of
the crutlcst sort. Men were narrow and
bi%ot"d. Civilization was stationary.
There was prejudice against innova-
ZION and change, a belief that all wisdom
was in the fathers.
Contrast this simple. narrow life with
the complex and broad life Of the poorest
farmer OF our times. Think Of the tools
and horses, the machinery and the i'm
proved methods he has. Think Of the
comforts and luXurics that are his. Think
how farming has been changed from
slavery to inspiring work. Then con-
trast the picture Of the past with the
general wealth, progress in education, diff
fusion Of knowledge, opportunities and
hop"fulncss Of our own times. Only the
beginnings Of the great power Of the
people are 50 fur seen. AS Il matter OF
fact the tremendous changes wrought by
Improvement OF communication and
transportation have made it possible for
great free governments to exist pcrma-
n"nty.
1t is now and ever will be the fashion
to talk Of the good old times, but in
America the old times are not to be COM
pared with ours. Our wealth has not
spoiled the nation, though it has ruined
some classes. At the core the nation is
sounder now than formerly because it is
wiser and better trained and equipped
