Keep Straight Ahead.

Pay no attention to SANDER or g0s-
sip-mongers. Keep straight on in
your course, and let their backbiting
die the death Of neglect. What is the
use Of lying awake nights brooding
over the remarks Of some false friend
that run through your brain like fork
ed lightning? What's the use Of get
ting into a worry and fret over gossip
that has been set ahoat to your disad-
vantage by some meddlesOme busy
body, who has more time than char
acter? These things can't possibly in
lure you, unless indeed, you take no.
tice Of them and in combating them
give them character and standing. II
what is said about you is true, SCI
yourself right at once; if it is false, let
It 90 for what 1t will fetch. If a bee
stings you, would you 90 to the hive
and destroy it? Would not thous-
and come upon you? It's wisdom to
say little respecting the injuries you
have received. We are generally losers
in the end if we stop to refute all the
backbitings and gossipings we may
hear by the way. They are annoying,
it is true, but not dangerous so long
as we do not stop TO expostulate and
scold. Our characters are formed and
sustained by ourselves aud by our own
actions and purposes, and not by
Others. Let US always bear in mind
that calumniatOrs may usually DE
trusted to time and the slow but steady
justice Of public opinion.

How TO BEGIN Married Lite.

In the first solitary hour after the
ceremony, take the bridegroom and de-
mand a solemn VOW Of him and give
him a vow in return. Promise each
other, sacredly, never, not even in jest,
to rangle with each other-neyer to
handy words or to indulge in the least
ill-humor. Never, we say, never
Wrangling in jest, and putting on an
air Of ill-humor merely to tease, be-
comes earnest by practice. Mark that
Next, promise each other sincerely
aud solemnly, never TO keep a secret
from each other, under whatever pre-
text, and whatever excuse it might be.
You m. 1t continu ally, and every mo-
ment, see clearly into each others
bosom. Even when one Of you have
committed a fault, wait not an instant.
but 90 confess it.
And as you keep nothing from each
other, so, on the contrary, preserve the
privaces Of your home marriage state
and heart from father, mother, sister,
brother, aunt and all the world. You
two, with Gods help, build your own
quiet world. Every third or fourth
one you draw into it with you will
form a party and stand between you
two. That should never be. Promise
this to each other. Remember the vow
at each temptation. Your souls will
grow, as it were, to each other, and at
last become as one. All, If many a
pair had, on their marriage day,
known this secret, how many mar
rage were happier than, alas, they
are.

to the Conservatory Of music. When
she returned not long afterwards, TO
her horror she found Miss Thrift life
less. Physicians were hurriedly sum-
moned and pronounced heart disease
as the cause Of the young woman's
death.

and Mrs. r.. +. Thrift, of Church
View, Middlesex county, and this
was her second year at the Normal
