ADVICE TO THE EMARRIED.-Zchokke, in
one of his tales, gives the following excellent
advice: In the first solitary hour after the
ceremony, take the bridegroom and demand
a solemn vow of him and give him VOW in
return. Promise each othor, sacredly, never,
not even in jest, to wrangle with each other
never to handy words or indulge ia the
least ill>humor. Never-I say, never
Wrangling in jest, and putting on an air of
ill-humor merely to tease, becomes earnest
by practice. Mark that Next, promise
each other sincerely and solemnly, never to
keep a secret from each other, under what>
ever excuse it might be. You must continu.
ally, and every moment, see clearly into each
others bosom. Even when one Of you has
committed fault, wait not an instant, but
confess it. And as you keep nothing from
each other, so, on the contrary, preserve the
privacies of your house, 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
will form party and stand between you two.
That should never be. Promise this to each
other. Remember the vow at each tempta-
ton. You will End your account in it.
Your souls will grow, as it were, to each
other, and at last will become as one. All,
if many a pair had, on their marriage day,
known this secret, how many a marriage
were happier than, alas, they areT

The GREAT LEssoN.-The 6rst great
lesson young man should learn is, that be
knows nothing. The earlier and more thor
oughly this lesson is learnt the better. A
home,bred youth, growing up in the light OF
parental admiration, with everything to
foster his vanity and self, esteem, is surprised
to find, and|often unwilling to acknowledge,
the superiority of other people. But he is
compelled to learn his own insigni6cance
his airs are ridiculed, his blunders exposed,
his wishes disregarded, and he is mado to
cut sorry figure, until his self-conceit is
abased, aud he feels that he knows nothing.
When young man has thoroughly compre'
hended the facts that he knows nothing, and
tina: intrinsically he is but of little value,
the next lesson is that the world cares noth>
ing about him. He is not tho subject Of one
mans overwhelming admiration neither
petted by the one sex nor envied by the
other. He has to take care of himself He
will not be noticed till he becomes noticeable
he will not become noticeable until be does
something to prove that he is some use 10
society. No recommendations or introduc
tions will give him this /; he must do some
thing to be recognized as somebody. The
next lesson is that of patience. A man
must learn to wait as well as to work, and
to be content with those means of advance
ment in life which he may use with integr
rity and honor. Patience is one of the most
difficult lessons to learn. 1t is natural for
the mind to look for immediate results. Let
this, then, be understood at starting, that the
patient conquest of difficulties which rise in
the regular aud legitimate channels of bust
ness and enterprise, is not only essential also
to that preparation of the mind requisite for
the enjoyment of success, and for retaining
it when gained. 1t is the general rule in
all the world, and in all time, unearned sue

II this were otherwise, the State must have

Here is the latest story of Tex


an life: Miss Guest and a ayoung


lady friend Miss Seals, having paid


a visit on horseback to the family


of Mr.. Lenore, in Brazos county,


that gentleman on their return, es-


corted them home. Miss Guest


was in the habit of wearing a


small Derringer pistol, having had


to travel alone to Eastern Texas
not long after the war closed. She


had it on her person at the time
in question. As they were riding


along this pistol, from some cause
exploded, and so wounded one of


Miss Guests fingers that it had to


be removed by amputation. lDu-
ring her confinement from this
hurt she was again visited by Mrs.
Lenore and urged to visit her again
when she recovered. When she
had recovered, she and Miss Seals
again visited the house of Mr.. Lee
more. While there a game at
cards was proposed. While Mr.
Lenore was sorting tbe cards from
the drawer of a table, Miss Seals
was standing by his side, and Miss
Guest rather behind him, he espied
o pistol in the drawer, and hand
ing it over his shoulder to Miss
Guest, remarked, Show does this
pistol compare with yours 2" She
took it, and while examining it
the pistol went of, killing Mr.. Le-
more instantly. Although there
is nothing in all this to give any
plausibility even to an accusation
of wrong intent, yet some OF the
friends of the unfortunate deceased |
prosecuted Miss Guest for murder |
But the prosecution came to moth |
ing. The Attorney entered a noUe
prosequi, although the defense de-
a trial. Miss Guest is re-
ported to be a young lady Of high
standing and good culture.

Bread is the staff of human life,

Don't attempt to advertise un-

not take the place of circulars and
hand-bills.


Handbills and circulars are good

Ladies, it is sometimes danger.


Gus to conceal your exact age


We win give you a case in point,


that only occurred in the summer


of the present year. A lady, as


far back as 1926, insured her life


for the benefit of her relatives.-


She only died a few months ago


but coming to compare her age,
as given by herself at the time of
efecting the insurance, with that
on the certificate of births required
by the Office to be obtained, after
death, from the parish register, it
was found that although in reality
the lady was forty-two years old
in 1926, she only owned to be
thirty five; and paid premiums on
that scale for forty-tWo years.
The office, had it been SO disposed
might have declared the policy
absolutely forfeited. The policy
was admitted as a claim, but from |
the amount that would have come
to the legatees, if all had been in
order, the difference of premium
between thirty-6ve and forty-two
years, with interest and compound
interest thereon, from the period
that each premium became due,
was deducted. The legatees thus
received not more than the nomi-
nal amount stated on the policy.

My sledge company from Repulse Bay to King
Williams Land consisted of eleven souls, all
Esquimaux. Although they are as untamable as
eagles by nature, yet by their aid alone was
enabled to reach points otherwise inaccessible
and when there to gain much important lnfor-
nation relative to the fate of Sir John Frank
Inns expedition. tried hard to accomplish far
more than did, but not one of the company
would, on any account whatever, consent
to remain with me in that country and make
q summer search over that island which,
from information had gained of the natives, /
had reason to suppose would be rewarded by the
discovery of the whole of the manuscript records
that had accumulated in that great expedition,
and been deposited in vault little way inland,
or eastward of Cape Victory. Knowing, as l
now do, the character of the Esquimaux in that
part of the country in which King Williams
Land is situated, cannot wonder at nor blame
the Repulse Bay natives for their refusal to re-
main there as desired. 1t is quite probable
that, had we remained rs wished no one of us
would ever have got out of the country alive.
How could we expect, If we had got into strait
ened circumstances, that we should receive
better treatment from the Esquimaux of
that country than the one hundred and five
souls who were under the command of the
heroic Crozier, some time after landing on King
Williams Land? Could / and my party, with
reasonable safety, have remained to make n
summer search on King Williams Land, it is not
only probable that we should have recovered the
logs and journals of Sir John Franklin eXpedi-
tion, but have gathered up and entombed the
remains of nearly one hundred of his compa-
mons, for they lie about the places where the
three boats have been found, and at the large
camping place at the head of Terror Bay, and
the three other places that have already men
toned. In the Cove. west side of Point Rich
ardson, however, nature herself has opened
her bosom and given sepulture to the remains of
the immortal heroes that died there. Wherever
the EsquimauX have found the graves of Frank
Inns companions they have dug them open and
robbed the dead, leaving them exposed to the
ravages of wild beasts. On Todds Island the
remains of five men were not buried, but after
the savages had robbed them of every article
that could be turned to any account for their
use, their dogs were allowed to finish the dis
gusting work.


Wherever / found that Sir John Franklin's
companions had died / erected monuments, then
fired salutes and waved the Star Spangled Ban

Three Thousand Acres Restored TO Delaware


An Old Creek ReODened.


At the last session of the Legislature, a COM
pany known as the Cedar Creek Canal and
Navigation Company was chartered to effect GER
tain improvements in Cedar creek, in Sussex
county.


The creek had formerly been navigable from
the Delaware bay, q distance of about six miles,
up to place known as the Brick Granery but
the sand gradually washed across the mouth of
the creek SO as to form bar, which at first rem
dered the steam unnavigable, and finally
damned it up so that its waters over1owed the
adjoining lands, rendering of no value nearly
5000 acres of salt marsh, belonging to q number
of individuals. 1t was to redeem this land and
render the creek navigable that the company
was organized.


1t got promptly to work, and;has pushed its
operations with great energy. mud machine
was procured from Philadelphia which last
week completed a canal two miles in length, 80
feet wide and 10 feet deep, from Milford creek
to the point where the distractions commenced
in Cedar creek, and the effect has been to en-
tlrely drain the creek overfowed, which will
now be reclaimed and devoted to agriculture,
and to again open navigation to the Brick Gra-
merry for vessels of light draught.


Thus ends most satisfactorily an enterprise
the failure of which was generally predicted,
the belief of those opposing it being that when
the canal was cut instead of draining the
marshes the effect would be to pour the waters
of Milford creek into the Cedar creek and flood
a few thousand more acres.


Amongst the owners of the reclaimed land is
William McCaulley, of this city.


By the charter, the company is authorized to
levy taxes on the owners of the property re-
passing through the canal, which, of course,
will be done. The mud machine is now engaged
in improving the navigation at some shoal places
in Cedar creek Wilmington Commercial
