YOUNG MEN AND MARRIAGE,

Mrs Russell Sage, wife of of the richest men in
America gives this striking opinion:
young should marry until his position in life
is assured and in New York and other great ceners
before married he ought to be able to provide
handsomely for his wife if he desires to be happy.
Marriage in New York is a problem very different
from marriage country village. In the country sim
pcity is the rule Here in the congested ceners
gesed in point of wealth. the evidences of extravaganza
all around Young wives nothing but wealth

content.
"She is wonderful woman who can live On pittance
and constantly held up before her gogeousess of
attire and of life and still be able to conquer the
desire to be likewise and her disappointment if she
not be- This display the part of the rich before the
eyes Of the poor is the of unhappiness and

THIS is INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Hail. glorious Independence Day,
Rejoicing come, by Freedom led.
Bright herald of oppression fed,
We welcome thee, as freemen may,
Fair goddess, whom fathers loved,
But loving were denied thy smile,
Till tyranny had frowned while
And persecution scoffed unmoved-
Sweet Liberty, welcome thee,
And DER the dust of valiant dead
Who died that thou mightst lift thy head,
We weep our thanks on votive knee.
For whO though years intrude between
Since first the mountain nymph we knew,
Could hail thee, glorious maid, anew,
Nor weep Ger patriots hallowed green?
For thee, thrice welcome; them, tear;
And mayst thou lift thy torch on high,
That darksome nations may descry
And, seeing heed thy lesson dear.
So shine that in the years to come,
From Afric's sands to Arctic snow
Oppression, the most hated foe,
May eXiled be from every home.
And thy sweet presence, shining clear,
Abide with all men more
Dwell with us till the heavenly door
Opes and the voice of God hear.

while the waiter fingered near.
Are you waiting for a tip?" asked
the patron.
Just as you please, SIR answered
the waiter.
"Then l fear that my pleasure will
not be yours replied the patron. The
trouble is that your philosophy is all
wrong, and with wrong philosophy we
are sure to fall into all sorts of errors
Yes, sir" said the waiter, not under
standing word.
Now" continued the patron, you
have the tip reversed from what it
should be. You put ii wrong end 10. I
pay the proprietor for food and service,
and honors are easy between us. Now,
where do you come in? My wants make
you necessary. l really create your en-
ployment.
without a patron TO the house you
would be without job. You are under

ARABIC PROVERBS.

To the dog who has money men say,
"My lord dog"
Consult thy wife and do the reverse
Of what she advises.
When the moon is with thee Of what
account are the stars.
Joy lasts for seven days, but sadness
endures for lifetime.
He who has gold Is beloved, though
he be Il dog and the son of dog.
1t is better TO commit ten sins in the
sight of God than one in the sight OF
men.
Those who are learning to shave
heads practice upon those of the or
phans.
The beauty of man lies in his in
telligence; the intelligence of woman
Is to be found in her beauty.
When thou scest two people in con-
slant converse thou mayest know that
the one is the dupe of the other.
Shun him who can be of no use to
thee. In this world lie cannot serve
thee and in that which is TO come he
cannot intercede in thy behalf.-"Tu-
niSia."

AND TALK TO ME, SHE SAID SIMPLY.
every we'll done, sir. But suppose we
consider the compliment stage past and
try our hands at being friends. l know
you can be a lovely friend-if you
choose"
She put out her hand in an impulsive
fashion. Thorne Dillon took it eagerly.
Behold, it shall be as your ladyship
wishes" he cried eagerly. I'VE are to
be friends for as long as / deserve the
title" And he sealed the compact with
the lightest of kisses on her delicate fin
ger tips.
Friends they were for the next three
weeks; more than friends, Mrs. Con
don thought. She could give but one
meaning to the daily roses and bon
bons which bore the card Of Mr..
Thorne Dillon, to the equanimity with
which Margery took walks and drives
and dances with the same young man.
Her confidence rs a matchmaker was
returning tenfold.
Another letter from Maria came one
afternoon, therefore, like thunder from
a clear sky. The letter was despairing,
and, though slightly incoherent it told
Mrs. Condor some unpleasant truths.
She was bordering over 1t when there
came a light knock on her door. Before
she could answer Margery walked in.
The wind had whipped the girls checks
to crimson. her soft felt hat was awry,
and short curls rioted around her face.
In her disheveled beauty she seemed
the personi6cation of youth and the joy
Of living.
But there was no answering smile on
Mrs. Condons face. Where have you
been. Margery?' she asked sternly.
Margery started. Then her wonder
ing glance found the letter lying in her
sunt's lap. and she flushed consciously.
But her tone was light as she answered
Driving with Mr.. Dillon. 1t was glo-
rious."
Mrs. Condor waved the accusing let
ter as she said tragically $50 much the
worse for you. wretched girlw
Margery only laughed. Then with a
sudden tender movement she kneit
down and threw her arms around her
aunt "Is the news in the letter so very
dreadfulT' she asked. Perhaps IL
seems ungrateful for me to want to 90
home when you have been so kind to
me. But, then, there il Tommy" She
