WHY MEN HESITATE.
Charleston News and Courier

tChdrleSton News and Courier
No doubt one of the foremost rea-
sons for the reluctance of men to pro-
pose, unless they are so fortunately
circumstanced as not to have to regard
the matter from a pecuniary point Of
view, is the prevailing standard of liv-
Ing, which is at present so high that it
is necessary to think twice before mar
rying and setting up a home. Hundreds
of things, which were regarded as
luxuries fifty years ago, have become
absolute necessities to the present gen
Grafton Of men as well as of women:
and, unless a man is so desperately in
love as to be forgetful of himself. he
hesitates to renounce many small, but
expensive, luxuries TO which he is ac-
customed; and If he is very much in
love, he hesitates still moro to offer
the woman Of his choice a home in any
respect inferior to that she leaves when
she narries him. But a still stronger
obstacle to matrimony is that the cost
of living, even when one tries TO live
economically. has increased of late out
Of all proportion to the salaries which
men working for others receive. Nor
is there nearly so much inclination
upon the part Of very young people to
rush blindly into matrimony in the
happy go-lucky belief that they will
get on somehow" and that If things
come TO the worst their friends will not
let them starve. OF course, they fall
in love, just as they did in old times.
and sometimes become engaged. but
prudence whispers that a long engage
nent is better than risking the fulfill
ment of the old prOverb about marrying
IN haste and repenting at leisure.

Tipperary.

Another Irish centenarian has passed
away in the person of John O'Connell,
Clonamacogue, Loughmore, who died a
few days ago at the extraordinary age
of 10S years. He was born in the eigh-
tenth century, and up to quite recently
was hale and hearty and perfectly
clear mentally. Like most men who
have reached remarkable age, he
loved to relate the stirring events of
the last century. To him O'Connell
was a familiar figure, but the policy
of Meagher and Mitchell appealed more
to his view. In youth he excelled in
athletic sports.
A great meeting to demand Home
Rule was held at New Tipperary, Oct
%. Letters were read from the Arch
bishop Of Cashel, Mr.. John Dillon, NJ
p. Mr.. John Redmond, NJ P, and the
Very Rev. Canon P. Ryan, Galbally.
Very Rev. Canon Arthur Ryan, P. P.
presided, and the speakers included Mr..
w. Redmond, NJ. P, Captain Donelan,
NJ. F., and other members. Several of
the speakers declared that the meeting
was the largest seen for many years in
the county.

Father David, the keeper of the gate,

When he saw me he said to the
brother who accompanied him: "Oh,
it doesn't make any difference with
him" Then to me: Would you like
to walk in the garden?"
l said that I would and walked round
and round its lonely paths for more
than an hour, now and then eating a

me the bakeshop with its most up to

saw and the creamery and the library
with its old newspaper telling to Irish
men that Cromwell had departed to his
rest the day before. Not very sorrow
full news that, l imagine, to the Irish
man of that day.
After Father David showed me and
the other Americans an incubator and
explained the process, with an innocent
circumstantiality that we respected.
Why tell him that the woods were full
of incubators in America? The thing
that appealed most to him. however,
was the big circular saw that would

With his permission | took a photo

graveyard, but when l suggested my
taking him he averted his palms at me.
Such vanities were not for him.
At breakfast there were eggs and
milk and tea and delicious butter in
abundance and the reading of some
holy book by Father David, which did
not stop all conversation. Being a feast
day there was one priest who felt his
tongue could be loosened, and he kept
up an undercurrent of conversation to
Father David's annoyance but it was
a human touch that was not OF of
place.
The monks are themselves vegetar-
ians, but school is run in connection
with the monastery, and the students
are allowed to eat meats.
At 8 o'clock my jarvey called for me

came from distant parts of Ulster. Fa-
Their Mccain was a favorite with all
classes because Of the devoted manner
in which he threw himself into the
work Of his sacred office and exerted
himself for the relief of the poor. At
the conclusion of the Requiem Mass,

THE ROAD 70 OLD JAPAN.

You that have known the wonder zone
Of islands far away,
You that have heard the dinky bird
And roamed in rich Cathay,
You that have sailed DER unknown
seas
To woods of Amfalula trees
Where craggy dragons play,
Oh. girl or woman, boy or man,
You've plucked the flower of old ia
pan!
Do you remember the blue stream,
The bridge of pale bamboo.
The path that seemed a twisted dream
Where everything came true,
The purple cherry trees, the house
With jutting caves below the boughs,
The mandarins in blue
With tiny, tapping, tilted toes
And curious curved mustachios?
The road to old Japan! you cry,
And is it far or near?
Some never find il till they die,
Some find it everywhere,
The road where restful time forgets
His weary thoughts and wild regretb
And calls the golden year
Back in a fairy dream to smile
On young and old little while
Some seek it with blazing sword
And some with old blue plates,
Some with a misers golden hoard.
Some with a book of dates,
Some with a box of paints, a few
Whose loads of truth would ne'er pass
through
The first white fairy gates,
And, oh, how shocked they are to find
That truths are false when left behind!
