Even today when, young as I am, I have to confess myself worn and wearied, battered, bruised and broken, scarred and seared by contact with all tho rough ness, the rudeness, tho dirt, the grime, the sin and the heartlessncss of the world even yet 1 bless (Jod for the halo of goodness which has followed me, in all my wanderings, from my Massachusetts home. I was the youngest of the merry young sters who had grown up, under our fam ily roof tree, to youth and manhood, and was the last to break away from the comparative quiet of New England for the bustle ami hurly-burly of the great west. My two brothers were full grown men while I was still a small Imv, attending our village school, and nothing could keep them at home when the gold ex citement broke out in the IHack Hills. After they went aw:iy my mother and father never saw them more. The next events of. importance in our family were the weddings c;f my two sisters, follow ing i:i rapid suecesLion. Thca, more than ever, I lieeaino my mother's companion and might have re mained so, perchance, to this day had not death claimed her and father for his prey within a few bhort weeks of each other. Father was a good man and I always loved, honored and rcsjiected him; but to mo I think, nay, I am certain, ho was never as dear as mother and I felt this more during the few short weeks that mother lingered after father's death. How she liked to have me sit by hci bedside and read to her sometimes from one of Dickens' masterpieces and sometimes from her well used Bible! How it pleased her when I would sing 123 a boy, I believe I had a pleasant, mu sical voice) one of her favorite songs or a hymn from the little brown covered hymn lsk! How contented she was, on t!i3 day that she passed away, to have me place my hand in hers while she whi.-pered her farewell words. "Give me the hymn book, nod." she said to wards the lur.t. I gave it to her and watt hed ii. r sis with much feebleness du- tore from it one of the pages worn o thin and ranch soiled by constant handling. "Keep it.

"1 a:a square. All you boys know me." 1 went on. appealing to the crowd, on whose faces -1 failed to see much expression of sympathy. "You fellows know I don't pretend to be any great shakes, but. .before God. 1 have never tohl a lie to you or any one else, and neither have I ever taken what don't belong to me, I swear I am innocent of this affair." "I tltat all?" asaLn asked tho judce. "c, t.ir. Stay" and T rumbled in my inn-Let for a scrap of pajer which I kept inside my 6hirL "You fellows all had mothers?" There was a coarse, loud guffaw, while one man exclaimed: "Thet's a reg'lar bald headed, paLded old bluff game, jedge, an' I guess it won't wash with this gang!" But just then a tall, broad shouldered man a i;trangcr entered the saloon. He had he nd my npieal and had also heard the rough words of tiie miner who ha I last Mkcii. I'v tin- eourt'H leave." said the new arrival. "I am an old regulator, judge, and think x tho young fellow ought to have his say, whatever it is." "Good," came from tho lip3 of the judge; "go on, my lad." "1 was going to say, judge, that I havt a little scrap of paper here; not much account, certainly, to anybody but my self; but my dead mother gave it to me and I've treasured it about ten years. It isn't Scripture, but it's mighty near it, ami I couldn't suy anything more sol emnly than what I would say with my right hand on that page torn from my mother's hymn book. Judge, lam inno cent!" "Gentlemen of the jury, what do you say? Is tho prisoner guilty or not guilty?" "Guilty!" came from a score of throats. Now 1 was not greatly afraid of death, though I would have preferred to live, and anyhow did not particularly fancy death by means of a hempen rope. I felt that I was hardly prepared to die, for 1 had of late given very little thought to religion and to the teaching of my earlier life. So it was not any morbid and false notion of religion nor yet the promptings of fear which led me to make a last request of my prosecutors. "Judge," 1 said, "I should like you to grant mo a last request before you pass sentence. On tlus scrap of paper there is a hymn, which I have a fancy to hear sung before you begin business. Jerry Davis, there, can play and knows all the church tunes. I'd like him to play and sing this one. And, judge, ask tho boys that don't want to hear it to 6tep out side, Itecause I shouldn't like to see them poking fun at it." "Boys, you hear!" said the judge, and strangely enough there was absolute silence, while not a man left the room. There was an old piano in that western saloon, used for free-and-easys, noisy concerts and occasional dances, though it is doubtful if sacred songs had ever been played upon it dsjing its sojourn at that settlement. Jerry Davis took the little torn page, struck a chord or two, and then com menced to sing in his rich tenor voice: There is a fountain filled with blood. Drawn from Iuuuanuel's veins. And sinners plunged lieneath that flood Lose all their puilty stains. Tbo dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day. And there may I. though vila as be. Wash all my si us away. Somehow Jerry Davis' voice weakened and he could not finish the hymn, which must have been familiar to many a har dened man in that strange company. As for me, I was sobbing violently not eo much moved by l!io words of the hymn as by the sadly sweet memories which it i;roug!it 1 no. There was absolute silence .'or several minutes, when the stranger who had spoken a word i.i my behalf val!:e.l over l:t the piano where Davi. at wi.h his lingers listlessly resting on ho keyboard. lie took the lorn leaf, xuaihied it critically a::d then walked ivcr to 1:10.

In a rccert essay on tho "P'niloso pliy of inai'iiago" a lady remarked that nothing could be easier and sim pler than Mariiago in primitive society, isov one ventures to thtnk thaL as society advances, xiiarriacre be conies more, instead of less, easy and simple. The consequences are to be found in what is called "surplus nopu lation." Tho savage made things more diflicult. Before a young bravo of the Kurnai can even flirt lie has to submit to having his littlo linger top joint cut olF, to having his front teeth T 1 A J I 1 1 kiiockcu out, 10 ueing ructeiy tsnaveo with a sharp stone, to being daubed all over with mud, and to a number of other horrors neither simple nor fpl . , r , easy, a no young reu inuian, in some tribes, has to serve as a slave for a whole year in the cabin of his future father-in-law. Moreover, the rules about who might marry whom were notoriously so diflicult and complex that often it must hardly have been possible to marry at all. Consider, likewir?. the Irihe.j 111 which a man may not marry unless lie can buy a wife by olienng a sister in exchange, and recollect that the older men were wont to snap up all available sisters, and that sisters who seemed "one too many if not two" were slain when they were babies. Without entering into the question of dilliculties that surrounded the bride. it is evident enough that marriage was not in primitive, or at least in back ward society, sucn plain sailing- as Mrs. Lynn Linton appears to believe. To be sure it was easy enough in India, where the Gandharva ceremony con sisted merely in a lady and her lover exchanging their wreaths of ilowers, while tho Minitareo rite of shooting arrows over the heads of the happy pair was picturesquely simple. But the dilliculties before they came to the ceremony were much greater than in civilized society, or so one is led to suppose. In fact, if people had con sciously set to work to make marriage diflicult and unattractive they could hardly have succeeded better. Ap parently "the course of true love never did ruu smooth," especially among the Zulus, whom, as we all re member, Cetewayo kept in a state of military celibacy. Andrew Lang in Longman's Magaciss.

It ij put in all serious ness, however, as a question of law. A. lb- goes from London to Naples, leaving his wife resident in the former v'ity. But lie, unfortunately, falls in love vvith a young lady at Naples; and Ixang .1 wicked man, with no fear of God and dttlefearof the law before his eyes, he determines to deceive her by a bigamous and invalid marriage. Ho is according ly married, to all appearance legally, on board an English man-of-war in the bay, in the presence of the captain, at 11 o'clock in tho morning of Feb. 10 the time being unquestionably ascertained. But the wife left in London died on that same Feb. 10 at half pat 10 in the morn ing, the time being certified beyond sdl question. Well, the case is clear and simple. A. B. had been a widower for half an hour when he married and could, of course. legally do so. But, stay! When it was half past 10 in London it was twenty-threo minutes past U in Naples. Had a felegram been dispatched instantly after the wife's death it would have reached Naples a few minutes later than twenty-three minutes past 11, and would have found A. 15. a married man of over twenty minutes standing! His first wife died, in fact, twenty-three minutes subse quent to the Naples marriage, though that was authentically declared to have taken place at 11 a. 1:1., and the wife's death was with equal certainty shown to have occurred at half pant 10. Was the marriage legal and valid or biga mous and null? Juhs Verne and W. S. Gilbert, each in las diilerent way, are the only two men competent to ixdve this problem. Philadelphia Times. Fair Inference. Little Jeannette's mother found her one day with her face covered with jam from ear to ear. "O Jeannette, said her mother, "what would you think if you should catch me looking like that some day?" "I bhoiild think you'd liad a awful good time, mamma," said Jeannette, her face brightening. Youth'? Companion. Tito Theft cf Photograpbs. There is a custom that prevails in local circles among even conscientious people that causes a greal deal of trouble and inconvenience, besides oftentimes being the means of the sev ering of friendships, and that is -the habit of stealing photographs from albums. You cannot imagine how often the thing is done among the people of good social status. One lady will call on another, and, while await ing her in a drawing room, will pick up an album or photograph case and, seeing any picture she wishes, without desiring- to manifest interest sufficient to ask the owner for it, will deliberate ly slip it in her pocket It never occurs tb her that this photographic theft is :is bad as any other. She says to her self : "Oh, it's only a picture; what's ike difference?" Chicaeo News.
