A Girl With Spirit Who Served Young Upstart

of the "golden youth" invited her to take a buggy
ride, and after they had proceeded on their way
hundred yards or so. he turned to her and said
with objectionable impertinence and assumption
of freedom: ''Miss have heard that
you are pretty fast" ooh, you have, eh ?' she re
piled, flashing look at him. Hand me the reins
and I'll show you how fast am" He relinQuish-

Men Marry for Love.

Who can doubt that the misunderstanding god of
the world inspires almost all modern American
marriages? But it is to the man that the little
god whispers more frequently than to the woman.
Most men marry for love- And the women {?
Their motives are various and complex.
Men may marry, but women must A man has
all to lose by marriage (from a worldly stand
point), a woman all to gain. Through marriage
women gain greater freedom and Importance.
They are relieved of all financial responsibility,
and even more vital, of that mysterious reproach
of single blessedness. With men this is no re-
proach, but rather a of glory, which they
remove only to replace by of thOrns. In like
manner all the material advantages enjoyed by
the women in matrimony are burdens upon the
men. A married woman is freer to do as she will
than her unmarried sister, but as for the man,
liberty flies out of his door when love comes IN
at the window.
Parents always sigh when a announces his
engagement, but they rejoice when a daughter
does so. This is another sign that gives all
and gets nothing in a modern marrlage-noth1ng
but love- Being disinterested, he is usaully salts
fed with that. 1t is the woman who makes the
worldly investment.
1t is an everyday occurrence for young man
of wealth and position to fall in love with foot
light favorite and to present her to his astonished
parents as their daughter r-in-law without
moments hesitation. Parental affection, future
Inheritance, even such bare necessities Fifth
Avenue tailors and racing-stables, nothing
in the balance with his love.
But women rarely shock society by marrying
for love. The susceptible sister of the aforesaid
susceptible young man very frequently becomes
enamored of footlght favorite also. She en-
joys the affair very much, and in her passionate
loyalty she will attend but the charmers
matinees. But she does not marry this hero.
She cries little, perhaps, sighs great deal, and
wears large punches of volets in token of her de-
spair. Finally, if it is a very desperate case,
she suggests to her mamma that they take a trip
somewhere. Her mamma rejoices in the comfort
of daughter. A son under the circum-
stances-she shudders to think of what might
have been.
Thus is woman through the range of society,
but the romatic man (happnly for the nation)
continues to marry for love.-Farm and Fireside

Settled Before Hand.

If there anything the late Senator Hoar
disliked more than he did another, it pro-
family. The story is told how much shocked the
venerable Senator would be by the infamma tory
interiections of certain politician with whom he
frequently compelled to confer. But on all
such occasions he would refrain from censurine
the culprit except in the mildest manner. One
day when the politician came to the Senator's
committee-room on a subject of considerable i'm
portance, Mr.. Hoar indicated seat to him, and
remarked Now, Mr.. Blank, before we enter up
a discussion of this question we shall assume
that everybody and everything is damned. Then
we can talk it over amicably."
