On tin. 11th ihiy of Novombor, 1858,
James A. Garfield married his first and
only low, Lucre! ia Rudolph. He liatl
originally mot licr some seven yeuis bo
fore when he whs a poor student striving
mightily for tin education at II i nun.
They studied together, they road together,
they thought together, they built castles
together, and it was not long uufore the
firm friendship, which was based upon
common tastes and aspirations, blossomed
into the grand passion. Before he bade
her good-by, as he left Jliram to enter
Williams College, he hail told his love
and the maiden of his heart had engaged
lKsrself to him.
The mulch was made in l.eavcn. These
two were intended for cieli oilier in all
that the words imply. He was to her a
fond, devoted, ehivaliio husband. She
was in the best sense his helpmeet, his
constant inspiration and comfort. Many
and many a time during their married
life he bore emphatic witness to the im
measurable service which she rendered
him. He declared that whatever success
ho gained among his fellows was largely
due to her wise counsels, her unfailing
sympathy, her abiding low He named
her hie better self the crown of his bo
ing and so they went down the years
band in baud and heart to heart, with
thoir path shone up"ii by a never waning
honeymoon.
OEMS FROM INGERSOLh.
The following beautiful worded gems
of thought are extracted from Ingersoll's
article on the Christian religion in the
last North American:
Slavery includes all other crimes.
Candor is the courage of the soul.
Anger blows out the lump of mind.
Epithets arc Ihe arguments of malice.
Ignorance is the mother of credulity.
Arguments cannot be answered with in
sults. The world is to euch man according to
each man.
An earthly father who cannot govern
by affection Is not lit to bo a father.
Good nature is often mistaken for vir
tue, and good health sometimes passes
for genius.
There is no world, no star, no hoavou,
no hell In which gratitude is not a virtue
and whoro slavery is not a crime.
How charming in those hard and scien
tific times to soe old age in Superstition's
lap, with eager lips upon her withered
breast.
Everything is right that tends to tlio
happiness of mankind, and everything is
wrong that increases the sum of human
misory.
My doctrine is that there is only one
way to be saved, and that is to live in har
mony with your surroundings lo live in
in accordance with the facta of jour be
i"g-
Life is a shadowy, strange and winding
road on which we travel for a little way
ti few short steps just from the cradle,
with its lullaby of love, to the low and
quiet way-side inn, where all at last must
sleep, and where the only salutation is
Good night.
QUOTATIONS FROM DISRAELI'S
POLICY.
Desciui'TJOX. Page G8.-1 5. "His
eyes wore studiously preservent from the
profanation of meeting the ground, and
his well supported neck seldom conde-
scended to move from its perpendicular
position.
Policy. "He was too cunning a master
of the human mind, not to be aware of the
quicksands upon which all greenhorns
strike; he knew too well the danger of
unecessary intimacy. A smile for a friend
to a sneer for the world, is the way to gov
ern uaukind."
Vivian Giiey. "Yes we must mix with
t lie Lord; we must enter into their feel
ings; we must honor their weakness; we
must sympathize with the sorrows that
we do not feel; ami share the merriment
of fools. Oyes! to act men, we must be
men; to prove that we are strong, we must
be. weak; to prove that we are giants, we
must be dwarfs; even as the eastern genie
was hid in the charmed bottle. Our wis
dom must be concealed under folly, and
our constancy under caprice."
A Nose. "Ho was a very stout man
willi a prodiginous paunch, which his
tightened dress dress set off to a groat ad
vantage. His face, and particularly his
forehead were of great breadth. His eyes
wore set far apart. His long oars hung
down nearly to his shoulders; yet singu
lar as he was, not only lr. those, but in
many othor respects, everything was for
gotten when your eyes lighted on his
nose. It was the most prodigious that
Vivian over remembered not only seeing,
but having, oi even reading of. In fact It
was too monstrous for the crude conception
of a dream. The mighty nose hung down
almost to the owner's chest."
Bowixn. "Every eharlutan is an orator
and almost every orator a charlatan. But
I never I-new a quack or an adventurer
