REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 A wife goes on loving from force of circumstances; husband from force of habit.
 A woman who hasn't trouble enough to satisfy her can always have 1t by getting more servants.
 Sometimes it takes people long time to make up their minds if they love each other before marriage, but not after.
 A woman's idea of doing something for charity Is doing something she likes at a less expense than 1t would cost her if it were business.
 Right in the middle of trumping her partners trick a woman is so interested in the game that she pauses v her rings look as she lays e card.

human interest He was a man who
at all times spoke with an engaging
frankness which sometimes became
more brusQue than was desirable. A
banker from the West End Of Boston
once visited Father Tsylor's church
during a fervid revival and varied
the usual character of the meeting by
. rather pompous address. Its pur-
port was that the merchant princes OF
Boston were very benefcent set OF
men. whose wealth and enterprise gave
employment to thousands Of sailors.
and that 1t was. above all. the duty
of seamen to show their gratitude to
the merchants. At the close OF his
