in Ins mind after one reading and
that capacity President Cleveland
also possesses.
The perfect preparation of a speech
was, in Wendell Phillips view, that
one in which tho mental operations
were assisted in no way by outside
i life f 'A2“. did he ly prepare 0 01 with r0 f tlmes pen and 121 pa- Lis
per an address, and he always felt
that these two or three speeches
were tho poorest of his efforts. He
was constantly studying the art of
oratory. In his daily walk or in his
reading metaphors and similes were
suggested, which lie tucked away in
his memory, and he even studied
action as he watched the muscular
movement-of men whom he saw in
public plaoes.
He believed that a perfect speech
could bo prepared only after intense
mental concentration. Of course the
mind must first be fortified by such
reading as provided facts. Having
thus saturated liis mind with iufor
mation, he would frequently lie ex
tended for hours upon his sofa with
bis eyes closed, making mental ar
rangement of the address. In fact,
he used to write his speeches men
tally, as \ ictor Hugo is said to have
written some of his poems. A speech
thus prepared Phillips thought was
always at command of the speaker.

of his famous leoture on “The Lost

LOVE AND MARRIAGE.
Some Ueaeon. Why There Are Not
Happy Union..
That matrimony is a happier
than celibacy when it means a
of hearts as well as of fortunes
is little doubt; but, though
people marry for love, or
they mistake for it very few
these unions lead to lasting happi
j j ness . Why is this?
The great reason seems to me
be that in most lives the ruling pas-
8 ion is self, and upon this rock ev
j erything which comes m contact
with it is shattered sooner or later,
j a man will often fancy himself very
! m U oh in love with a pretty and
| sprightly girl, and all the more so
j if 8 ] ]e has some means of her own.
Now, the real fact of the oase very
likely is simply that the girl amuses
him. and be pictures a little home
with her as its mistress as a pleas
ant change from bachelor "dig
gin ga ” l n fact, what he calls love
.
is only another name for pure un¬
j adulterated selfishness ite thinks
of himself and not of her, and when
he discovers, as he soon will after
marriage, that she has rights, claims
and wishes to be satisfied as well as
himself, he will probably at first
feel very much surprised, and then
aggrieved and indignant.
Perhaps the girl may bo in her
way as selfish as the man and have
married for the sake of position,
wealth, independence from parental
ooutrol, or some equally unsatisfac¬
tory reason. If this be the case,
as soon as the little veneer of mutu¬
al attractions and sympathy which
they called love has worn off, then
both man and woman will find the
marriage bond irksome and will look
back wistfully to their old days of
freedom.
i n a case like this certainly we
cannot say love has been destroyed
by marriage, for, though both young
people may have faucied they loved
it was a mere delusion, which.time
and better acquaintance must inevi
tably have dispelled without the
help of matrimony,
Look at a higher and a happier
marriage, one iu which both parties
start with a true affection for the
other and a ^ capacity for greater love

bly absorbed in her children and her
household cares, and her husband is
of very seoondary Importance to
her. Why is this? She has simply
bored and then alienated her lius
band’s love by her demonstrative
affection, which in unmarried days
was kept in check by maidenly coy¬
ness and modesty. For a short time
it pleased him to feel he was her all
in all, and that outside him she had
no separate life and interests, but
then her very devotion palled on
him, and he at last, as it were, be
came quite surfeited with the sweets
for which he had never obtained an
appetite by fasting.
For marriage to be liappy love
must be cherished, and it must be
restrained, encouraged, caretully

take wings and fly away forever.—

FROM THE MUSTY PAST.
j i A Peep at the Intere.tluR Old Record, of
an UngllKh Parish.
| The village church at Shoreside,
England, writes a correspondent of
*h 0 Boston Herald, was built soon
after tho Norman conquest. There
are records to show for the state
ment. But the purely parochial
hooks do not date back so far. In
the rectory is an ancient chest filled
with musty documents, among
which are three lonsr, narrow, flexi¬
ble books, two written on sheepskin
and the other on paper. The rector,
in an hour of confidence, bids me
overlook these volumes at my lei¬
sure. The invitation acoounts for
the present printing.
I know a neighboring parish where
the clerk wrote on a certain memo
rable day :
- - Hod be praised! Here endeth ye
Rump parliament! 11
But in Shoreside there were no
such ecstasies on the part of the par¬
ish officer. He confined himself
strictly to business, having first set
down on a flyleaf a brief account of
the origin of parish registers—
which, it appears, were introduced
in Henry VIII’s time, another Crom¬
well, Thomas, having had, as the his¬
tory books tell us, a finger in the ec¬
clesiastical pie. Thus writes the par¬
ish clerk:
tt It was first ordered in 1538 by
Ld. Cromwell wn lie was vicar gen
era 11 yt Register Books should be in
every parish.”
One of the volumes in the rectory
chest is inscribed:
' ‘A Register Book for the Parish of
Shoreside of all and every person
buried in ye parish or precincts
thereof according to an Act of Par¬
liament made [the year of the reign
is indecipherable] Caroli 2d, entitled
An Act ter Burying in Woolen. 11
They were rare proteotionists and
subsidizers in those days. The de¬
ceased subjects of Charles II were
by law compelled to be‘‘buried in
woolen,” because the woolen indus¬
try needed stimulating.
The paper book provides more
diversion. It contains the accounts
of the churchwardens for 105 years.
It is a young thing in volumes—a
mere Tudor-Stuart-Cromwellian juvenile—compared with the •
skin, for it harks sheep¬
back no further
to find in these aocounra rne samo
names, family and Christian, that
appeared for 200 years before in the
earlier book, and that are extant in
the village today, many of them con¬
nected with the same plots of ground
and the same bricks and mortar that
their ancestors tilled or lived behind
when great Elizabeth was queen.
‘‘Ah!” says the rector, ‘‘if you
wish to find instances of the surviv¬
al of typical old English family
names look for them among the
common people rather than among
the aristocracy. 11
But there is more than the sur¬
vival of names here in Shoreside.
By the parish books I can trace 300
years of blacksmithing, of innkeep¬
ing, of carpentering and various
forms of purveying in the families
whose representatives now follow
these livelihoods. These are points
of heritage wholly strange to Amer¬
ican experience. As ter the trace¬
ries in the churchwardens’ book, 1
find but few changes in 1T5 years.
Bales of the Bond.
It ia tRe long established custom
in this country that vehioles meet¬
ing on any street or highway shall
turn to the right. Some suppose
that this is only the unwritten law
of the road, but as a matter of fact
it is on the statute books. A special
section defines that carriages, wag¬
ons, carts, sleighs, sleds, bicyoles,
tricyoles and all other vehicles are
included. A person driving is prop¬
erly required to have the left wheels
of his vehicle at the right of the
center of the street. In a word, the
statute is an authoritative adoption
of Uncle David Gray’s motto of
‘‘Fair play and half the road.”
While bicycles are included as en¬
joying this privilege and horsemen
are required to extend to them the
same oourtesy they would another
vehicle drawn by horses tbe same
restriction is put upon wheelmen
and wheelwomen. They, too, must
turn to the right, and if they fail to
do so and a collision ocours they
have no one but themselves to hold
legally accountable. A good natured
observance of the law on the part
of all concerned will result in abso¬
lute safety and freedom from acci¬
dent—Utica Press.
