Tlioy were a happy and hopeful bridal couple. The llfo irjon widen they had rntcrcd was like a now ami unexplored country , but Clarence meant to work hard and felt little or no doubt in regard to their future. Ho had bcun head book- hooper for many years and had the jiromlso ofsonietlung bettor yet the com ing scabon. They rented n house in the pleasant part of the city , kept a servant , and { Stella were the handsome clothes that had been provided at the time of her marriage , Hut toward the end of the iirslycar of their wedded life Ins firm was said to bo under heavy liabilities and the anniversary of their marriage found the house bankrupt and Clarence out of n. situation. "I shall find .something by and by1 the husband said bravely. It was at this trying Umo that n little speck of humanity was put into Stella's arms , and Its feeble cry told that tlio re sponsibility of motherhood was hers. "I am the happiest man alive , " Clar ence exclaimed , caressing wife aud baby boy. "Lot pride go to the dogs , Stella1 ho added , remembering that now his re sponsibility was greater than before , "i'hoy arc in want of workmen at the How city hall. I'll take my hammer it will give us bread. " He went out in the early morning and came homo late at night , his handsome lace glowing with lovo. Hut tlio very thought that her husband was brouglit clown to the level of a commou laborer hurt her. The little privations she en dured won icd her , and in a little while Ihu swcct-tcinporcd woman became moody and down-hearted. "J low can you expect mo to live among Buch surroundings' " was her appeal when lie begged her to cheer up. "It is cruel of you. 1 want to go homo to my own friends. " The warm glow came to his face and liedicwhor tcndoily toward him with out a word , but there was a look piteous to see in his handsome eyes. Then came ti day a little later when it did seem that inatter.s had come to a crisis. The city iinll was finished and Clarence mut look for something new. They had moved nbout a great deal , hoping to find a place in which the fretlul girl-witc would bo contented. "These people arc all alike , you know , nnd 1 may as well be in ono place as an other , " was her reply when he suggested that they move. " 1 have heard of something now this morning , Stella , and 1 am going to New York on the next train. " " You are always hearing of something now , " was the quick reply ; "but what does it amount to ? " "I am hoping for something bettor , nnd think 1 have found it now. Are you going to kiss mo good-by , Stella ? " ho uski'd. "J may bo gone si day or two. " ' No ! " she replied coldly ; "you'll be back soon qnough. " "Hut I might never return , you know. " "Seoityoii are not back again in a day or two with the same old story , " Clarence turned quickly and loft her. Khe heard him cross tlio room , and know lie bent over Freddy's crip and kissed the little sleeper again and again. " lln'll come back beforo'ho's really gone , " whispered she , gomgtoward the door ; but a turn in the street hid him Jroin sight. Ho had gone without bid ding her good-by. "Well , we've been married long enough to bo done with such nonsense , ' elio said by way ot consolation , yet there was a terrible pain in her heart. She sat still till Freddy awoke , thru with a cry of anguish she ran across the hall to the nearest neighbor. "Please conto , Mrs. Wilson ; my baby Is dying. " Mrs. Wilson camo. for , though rough in manner , she was kind in heart. "He Is in a fit. " she said the moment IP fiho saw the child. "Hold him .so till I d run homo and get some medicine. Such women ain't lit to bo mollier * . " The hour for Clarence's arrival had passed , but only remorao came. At last thu strain became too great , and the wife's chastened and softened nature succumbed.ami good Mrs , Wilson hud two liatlents , When Clarence came ho found Ids wife rehearsing in penitent tones the welcome .sho had prepared for him. When at last Stella awoke from the liorriblo dreams her husband was bend ing over her. ' Clarence , " she said , very softly at first ; "Clarence , " she repeated , putting lior arms about his neck , "if you'll for- glvo mo I'll kiss you. O , so many times ! " Foolish fellow ! Ho cried like n baby , "Listen , Stella. " no said , as soon as ho could command his voice ; "Listen : 1 did got thn situation , ami you can have everything you want , " touching his lius to cheek and forehead , "and you are poing to have such a pretty house In jtJrooklyn. " "All 1 want is your love , " clasping him close , "and that l-'reddy gets well , i am ready to bo a poor man's wife , " Women Can AiVoril to bo Single. Hoston Kecord : The common talk i.s among young men that they cannot nflord marriage , because wives are such un expensive luxury , and altogether such an impediment that no ono can utl'ord to liavo ono unless ho is very rich or is will ing to remain very poor. This kind of twaddle is BO much in vogue that it will probably seem heresy to take any other view of the case , but bearing in mind the innumerable stories of beating and mutilation , and even murder , inlYictod upon women by drunken and ugly hus bands , it scorns to be about time to stait n crusade to bring about n resolve on thu part of women not to get married. They run about twenty timea as much risk in biicli an operation as the man does , and if the latter cannot "aft'ord" to take unto himself a wife , the majority of women can well afl'ord , on their part , to remain binglo. Within twenty ywarn wo predict thut clubs for women , and an increased independence in earning a llvolihood.nnd a pencral better statin for tinmarnoa women , will result in a serious dimum- lion of llio marriage rato. And , when women arc not to bo got for llio asking , mr-n will be moro careful of them. A little "corner" In tno marriage market would not bo a bad thing. A Joke WhlciiaufnortOiU a Hcollty. Henderson ( Mo. ) Democrat : Early last Friday morning on a Mississippi steamer there'were added to our-company of travelers a pair who looked very Ilko run aways ; the Gentleman , a tall , raw-boned specimen of the "half-horse , hnlf-aliga- tor" class , and the lady a talr match for him. Among the passengers from Napoleon leon h a solemn-looking gentleman who hns all along born taken for a preacher. About ! ) o'clock last night I was convers ing with the "reverend" individual when n young man stepped up , and addressing him remarked : "Wo'ro going to have a wedding and would like lo have you ofll- clato. " "All right , sir , " he replied laughingly , and wo stepped into the ladies' cabin , whore snro enough the couple stood waiting. There had boon several "kissing games" and several mock marriages cone through with dur ing the evening , and I supposed that this was merely a continuation of the sport , and so thought the preacher who 1 could see Imd a good deal of humor in himand was inclined to promote general good feeling nnd merriment. The couple stood up before him a good deal more solemn than was necessary in mock murringo , I thought and the "preacher- " asked the necessary questions , and then proceeding in the usual way announced them "husband nnd wife. " There was a good deal of fun after wards , ami when it was over 1 loft the cabin and so did llio "preacher , " who re marked to mo that ho liked to see the young folks enjoying themselves nnd took a good deal of pleasure in con tributing to their fun , but ho did not see why they selected him to act as the preacher. Just then some ono called mo aside and tlio old gentleman stopped into hi ? state-room , which was next to mino. When 1 returned the door stood open and thn "preacher" stood just Inside , with his coat and vest oil * and ono boot in his hand , talking with the gentleman who had played the "attendant , " and who , as I came up. remarked : "Woll , if that's the case , It's a good joke , for they are dead in earnest nnd have gene to the same state-room. " The old gentleman raised both hands ns ho exclaimed : "Good heavens ! you don't tell mo so ! " and rushing , just as ho was , boot in hand , to the state-room indi cated , commenced an assault ou tlio door as if ho would break it down , exclaiming at each lick : "For heaven's sake remember 1 ain't a preacher ! " The whole cabin was aroused , every state-room Hying open with a slam , when the door opened and the "Arkansas traveler , " poking out his head , coolly re marked : "Old boss , you're too late. Guess we'll stay hitched1 ! ' Views or a Jlnslmml Trainer. Chicago Lodger : We've been talking with a woman who has trained several husbands , and is now a candidate for an other trial as a gooil wife. She makes sonio observations , gained from her varied experience , that are valuableand , as this is the bridal season , wo think timely. She says it is easy enough to win a husband ; it is morcdillicult to keep him. That any attractive little dumpling with bright eyes and a coaxing voice may gather in a noble husband. She insists that noble husbands arc thicker than red noses on a toboggan slide , but it takes a master hand to draw out that nobility and keep it at homo. It requires soothing , she says , but iitlin wife understands her business she can direct things so that her husband will think it delicious when she asks him to bring up a scuttle of co.il or got up in the middle of the night to kill a burglar. She says it is useless to try to describe the magic power a devoted wife may exercise - ciso over her husband. Her logic con tends that there is somchingin the great , rough , earnest nature of a man that can be won quicker and easier witli gentle ness and tender steak than by a billions course of broom-handle reasoning with bread and milk diet. A husband with such a wife will not think that because ho gets up to warm the baby's milk near the lire , or to jook for burglars , and is otherwise obedient , it is because ho has no backbone. It is simply because he is the husband of the woman of whom ho ought to be and is proud. Young ladies , if you expect to marry andofcout.se yon do yon must draw your own conclusions. This widow is certainly a clover woman. She is not especially a sweet-minded woman , nor a superior creature. Sim simply studies her husbands , learns all their idiosyn crasies , and acts with nil'cctionato dis crimination. None MulCirls With Money. Panama Star and Heiaid : Marriageable girls in Bolivia will probably serenade thu members of the present assembly. In most countries these gentlemen would become decidedly unpopular among the lair sex , and would find few partners when inclined to dance. Tlioy would also have the majority of the omcors ot any army against them. They have passed a law which should result in a revolution of some sort or other , which reads as follows : "No ollicer , fioin the rank of sub-lieutenant to captain , will bo allowed to marry , unless he can prove that tlio lady with whom ho wishes to marry possesses a dowry of at least $1,000 , , " This seems a now order of pro- ccduro. Holivian legislators express a poor opinion of their oliicers in thus coolly throwing the onus of their support on the weaker sex. "Fortune hunters" uru , despised in most countries , hut hero wo Iind that in a republic all the sub alterns are compelled to become fortune hunters or remain single. Legislators in Bolivia want the women to support the warriors. Novel legislation , which c.in- nut be productive ot good results.

For the mid-winter wedding the ten ushers wore white hyacinths for bou tonniercs , white satin scarfs and pearl scarf pins ; their pearl colored gloves hail wide stitching in pearl color , ami weie precisely like thosu worn by the groom , The bride carried a pr.iyer book with soft white leather cover and a "posy" of long stemmed Parma violets.

There are 110 Ic s than 30,000 bachelors in Montana , kn says nn enthusiastic resi dent , and every ono of them is in need of a \ \ ifo. These young fellows have no time to ffo courting thenioelves , and much of that sort of thing is done by proxy. They are entirely too busy amassing fortunes , either at sheep-hord ing , CRttlc-growinff , or mining , in which at least 80 per cent of them are bound to bccomo millionaires sooner or later.

A par ticular stone was regarded as sacred to cnch month of the year , a meaning or language was given to cnch , and it was supposed that good luck and prosperity would bo insured to thobo who were con stantly the slono belonging to the month in which they were born. It is still cus tomary among lovers find friends to notice the signllicancn nllnclied to the various stones in making birthday , en gagement and wedding presents. The stones sacred to the different months and the language of each are ns follows : January , garnet ; constancy and fidel ity in every engagement.

M. Quad in Detroit Free Press : There are a good many features about that throat disease called quinsy. You can novcr mistake it for the small-pox , nnd you never havc-a suspicion that you may have fallen from the roof of a third-story building and broken forty or more bones in your-body. You go to bed feeling in excellent spirits and willing to pay 120 cents on the dollar. Soon after mid night as soon after as the ailment can make it convenient -yon wake up with a horrible back ache and a bad chill. Yon needn't flatter yourself that you are com ing down with diphtheria , typhoid fever or some other disease which will cause your friends to anxiously inquire if you have made your will and own a lot in Elmwood. You are simply booked for a fourteen days' wrestle with a common , onu-horso atFair , and the sooner you set tle down to it the better for all con cerned. You may gargle all the gargles over in vented , but tlio throat grows worse. For two or three dajs the doctor can place the handle of a spoon on your tongue and gel a sight of what is behind'ml.\ousud- Jcnly discover in your mad career that you have "shut your head. " The jaws have taken a great liking to eacli other and the doctor has to quit. Then you 11 turn to llaxsi'od poultice. It doesn't do anybody good as anybody can saj' , but you'll try it. Furthermore , you'll get a hot compound of hop- > and vinegar and try steaming. That never helped any body , but it's fashionable to try it. All the irlands nnd eouls and tendons from the car down to tlio shoulder begin to tighten up , the crevice between your teeth closes at last , and there you aro. If some butcher cart hasn't run overyou and knocked some of your teeth out it won't bo any use to try soups and gruels. If you've got two or three places where the gruel can sneak in you'll pres ently wish you hadn't. Every time YOU swallow you are lifted sixteen inches oil' the chair , and it's a health lift which you get tired of after three or four attempts. The other day when my eyes were swollen nearly shut , my jaw "sot , " every gland and cord as sore as a boil and my windpipe nearly closed , the doctor looked mo over and made a little speech. I shall remember his every word for the next hundred years. He said : "Well , something has got to be done. Your throat lias got to bo lanced. I've been expecting for a day or two that it would come to this. " And ho lay back in his chairand licked his chops yes , sir , smacked his lips like a boy eating a ricii plumes ! " \os , I'll bo nn after dinner , " he con tinued , sighing heavily to think he wasn't equipped then. "You'd better lie down and prepare yourself. " 1 tumbled into bed , wondering if I'rov- denco would take him oil' during the forenoon , and slept to dream that I was on a dissecting table and twelve medical students were carving away at my body. Providence spared thu doctor. Ho dulii't even have a narrow escape. Ho was on hand soon alter dinner , a smile of satis faction on his face , and ho was followed by a mock-looking young man whom he introduced as a medical student. "Now. " said the doctor , "don't got ex-- cited. Wo shall first chloroform you ! " I tried to groan , but it was only a wliec/.e something like a summer's gale blowing into an old oyster can. "And then wo shall wedge your jaws apart. Here are thn pine wedges to do it. It will , of course , bo a couple of weeks before the cords and glands got over the ollect , but there's no way of get ting around it. " 1 tried to groan .somo more , nnd the doctor laughoj. Ho said it reminded him of the blgh of a tired lioiso as ho lay down to rust. "Didn't have time to sharpen this lance at home , " ho wont on , as ho began to hone it on a strop. "If you wore a wo man you would bo .squeamish , but as it is you won't caro. I expect to lance it in about three places. It ought to relieve you at oueo , but it will bo MHHU daybo - tore tlu ) cut heals up. Uoad about Lo gan's death , I presume ? Sav , James , get him that rocker. Did you bring tlio chloroform up ? Pour it on this handker chief and hold it to his no = o until you see that ho is gone. Whore's the wedges and hammer ? Now como with your hand " Something down my throat gave a throb and a twist and a bnr.it , open llow my jaws , and out came the quinsy with n rush. "You you wretches ! " I gasped , find ing my voice for the first time in live days. "Now , James , just see there ! " ov- claimed the doctor in tones of mingled disgust and despair. "Just see what no's gone and done ) Hero was the llncst case Pvo had in six monthsand IIU'H gone and busted it ! i felt in my IJOIHM that I ought ( o have collared him this forenoon , and here's the proof. James , we will KO. " "Doctor , shall I nso any gargle ? " I called after him. "Humph ! " "And will you come in to-morrow ? " Hut lie never turned or spoke. He walked down stairs as still'as a poker , climbed into his cutter like a martyr , and when once ho had the lines he woke thu old horse up with the whip until ho made a mile in two and a half. He hasn't boon near me since. I expect hu's greatly put out , and that ho hopes I'll have a relapse , but did I do anything to him ? Am 1 to blame that ho left hU wedges and ham mer behind.

New York Mail and Express : "It is said that actresses have superstitions and vagaries in a more marked degree than any other women , " said an old littera teur to a Mail and Express writer. "Hut that is a fallacy which should bo cx- pluilutl ; it docs them a great injustice. Literary women have more oddittos than any class. New York is the homo ot a majority of women who desire to live by their pen , unit in no other city can they be studied to better advantage. Many of them bellovo in iheosophy , transmigra tion of the soul into animals , pantheism , Moh'immcdanism , nthcism , evolution , ami many other isms that place them out of the pale of Christianity. Hut they arc not orthodox even in what they profess to believe , and have many queer ideas and notions in connection with their religious faith. Now I know a young woman wheat at times is a charming' writer who imag ines that her soul several hundred years ago inhabited the body of a great gen eral. Her theory is that the soul never goes to another world and becomes a spirit , but merely leaves the casket or body of one person at death to iind a homo in another just born. By this means the immortality of the soul is explained. Her idea i.s that at times , bv some frealc , the soul or life principle in a dog gets into the body of a man mid produces a monitor. No man , she argues , can over become immortal until his soul has been refined and punliod by inhabiting for several centuries tlio body of a woman. The inconsistency ot such a belief is ap parent , but no amount of reasoning can convince her that nature works on a more original soul plan than the one she believes in. This woman is practical out side of this crotchet. "People can bo great and have peculiar beliefs. General Stonewall Jackson thought that eating black pepper gave him rheumatism in his loft leg. Another literary woman , who pt'rlmps ' is destined to make a stir within a few years , is an out-and-out atheist. Yet she goes to church and believes that number thirteen is a bad number ; that Lto turn back when once started on a journey is bad juck ; and when the left car burns a friend is talking about her. She can begin with Aristotle and I'lato , and by ingenious reasoning show that these worthy ancient philos ophers wore simply beautiful talkers and did not believe what they preached. She thinks Empcdoclcs the wisest man of the ancients because ho jumped into the cra ter of Vesuvius to make his followers think he had ascended to hea\en. Mine. Hlavatsky converted several to her be lief in theosophy , and they still relate wonderful things of that disciple of ( iautama , "One woman who can turn out three or four bright articles per day firmly be lieves that she lw already boon in the Nirvana htato tor over a thousand years and has just come upon earth for a brief period before going buck again. She as serts that Edwin Arnold , the author of ' Asia ' is and hold the 'Light of , a seer spiritual communication with ( iantama in older to get inspiration to write the 'Great Renunciation. ' This woman has children and they attend Sunday school regularly. The father , however , is or thodox and thinks Gautama and his Nirvana a humbug. Many female writ ers , especially those who drop into po- etrv.imagino they rccmvo spiritual inspi ration from authors who have long been dead. 1 could mention one vvho o name is frequently in the papers , who firmly believes she receives material aid from the other world. Strange , too , with this belief she i.s not at all superstitious about signs or omens. She mis been sadly clupod by several notorious mediums whom the press has exposed , yet she has faith in the ability ot CGI turn persons to trot a ghost out at any momnnt when the lights are turned down ami the audience away from the stage 1 attribute many of the eccentricities in female writers to the fact that they try to keep up their physical animation by the tree use of htlmulants. A gentleman had a daugh ter who was writing a novel. She grew paler and thinner every day , but scorned to haven wondcifu ! amount of anima tion at times , especially about the time Kliu sat don to write. Ho was at a loss. how to account for it , as she took little exercise. One day Ids wifu confessed to him that the daughter was using stimu lants freely to assist inspiration , bho said the ( laughter had road that Ouida , who was almost a sMuton , used stimu lants to got up steam to linish u uouil , and why not emulate that successful writer ?

If you are of a norv- ous. excitable teiiipormont ponder upon these lines , fr.-sh Irani the ready pen of Lady John Manners "Certain worries are supposed to belong specially to women. The management of servants \i \ sometimes considered very diflicult It used to bu said , 'A good mistress imlkes a rv coed servant , ' ami undoubtedly kind- nr. s and consideration always draw people ple together , oven when in different po sitions. Though wo should save our selves much worry by once for all rccoc- nizinp that no one is perfect , yet I think that by studying our servants1 little pecu liarities wo may hope to avoid the fre quent Changes which are so trying. For instance , if wo have any reason to think that n servant's memory Is defective , it Is a very good ruin to give ovcry order In writing. Indeed , irmnv pcoplo muko a point of wilting orders for their carriages and horses ; ana I remember a gentleman who thoroughly understood the art of dining ) who always had a slate beside him at dinner on wliich ho wrote any remarks - marks ho wishes to make for the chef. I knew a cook-housekeeper in n family which was unavoidably rather harum- scarum , sudden orders being sometimes given for many additional places at the table. The orders were given by word of month , but that remarkable woman never made a mlstakp during the many years I know her. Wlicn complimented one day on her peed memory she pointed to a slate on which she always wrote every detail nl once. Perhaps some of us women hayo too great a tendency to adore our friends and worry them , ns well as ourselves , oy being too demon strative and expecting too much in 10- turn for our attachment. Always let your presence bo desired , was the advice given by a man of the world to a lady anxious to keep her friends. Always treat your friend as if he might bccomo your enemy , and your enemy as if ho might some day bo your friend , is n maxim that would save much heartburning. Among minor worries dress certainly Is one to some women. Hut if wo remember that every period of llfo has its own charm I think this anxiety would bo lessened. To deli cate persons the little precautions essen tial to preserve health arc of ten very wor rying ; but if they recollect how precious their health is to lo\ing friends they would probably rccognl/.o that in taking care of themselves they are sparing much anxiety to others. The warm wrap may bo taken by the delicate person in order to spare friends anxiety ; while per haps the busy man of letters will lake more exorcise for health's sake if ho knows that these who love him will bo grateful to him for so doing.
