It Is the sain old story. I1,ove and courtship. Then comies the engagement ring aid a blesed In t'rval of fond hopes and happy dt'eams, and then the happy day Is fixed---the allspicfious day that is never to be for gotten - -a day that brings happinees or. misery and begins a new life. Then onea the lirense. the permit of the law which says you may marry, you may enter into bonds. The state ap proves it and the law allows It, and it will cosm you only a dolhar and t (uar ter.

TIheni colles the milnitter, and the happy palr' stand up before him and make some solemn vows and Iisten to a prayer and a bened ietion, and Ihey are one. In a 11loment the triisting maid has lost her nallle and her free will. and is tied fast to a ma11in. Well. he is tied fast. too, so It, is all right all round, I reckon,(11. but 50111ehow I always feel more concern about tho woman than the nian. She is a help less sort of a crca ure and takes the miost, risk. for she risks her all. I wps riuminating over this, for there was a narriage going on at our gtood friend Sam iJonles' house, and their pretty daughter. I,atlra, was changing her name and her home oii this the last day of the year al.d going off to live with a man she hasn't known very long; but I have diagnosed him from his fate and features and am satisfied with, her choice. He Is a. big-hearted gent.: man, or else the signs fail. I wvanted to be present amci give them my blessing, but was not well enough to go--I've got the elephantlosis from . my toes to my knees, and can. hardly meander across the room, but 1 am al ways interested in the marriages of our young people. It is thp npst serous business in this life, and If the peril of it was known befojehand many of the Young people would hesitate to make the change. The chains of matrimony and not bonds of marriage are the right words. When men make a ipart: nership they can't get along well if they art unlike in disposition, or in moral principle or in business ways, but they can dissolve and separate at pleasure 5nd try another man. A man and his wife ought to be alike in al most everything. In sonic things folks like their opposites--their countet parts. A man with blue eyes goes dis tracted over a pretty girl with hazel eyes-I did, and I'm ldistractey yet when I look into them, though I've been doing that for fifty-four years. But in mental and emotional cualities and in tastes and habits and polities I and religion they should class together. I never made any mistake about my choice of a partner for the dance of a life, but I've thought of it a thousand times .that. If Mrs. Arp had known I loved codfish and got up by dayhreak every morning, she never would have i had me. It was nip and tuck to get her, anyhow, and that "u111 have been the feather to break the camel's hack. WVell.
