Poverty and Marriage.
It has been said *:f the late Peter Gnelet,
wlio. like all bachelors. particularly when riel’.,
was frequently urged to take a wile, that he
was wont to reply to his pragmatical badgcrers
that, in the first place, he did not want to
marry, and that, secondly, he could not afford
to. The former reason, though the best in
the world, is. strange to say, sol ’ an regarded
as even a tolerable reason. The latter state
ment must have Ween and erne 1 jocular, inns
much as the possession of an estate of $20.-
000.000 to $25,000,000 would ho thought
sutlicient financial equipment fi>r matrimony,
even with all the modern improvements. Hut.
in most cases, such a response would be a
very wise, and a very strong argument, too.
a raoist wedlock. A great many men marry
who have not tlie means to warrant them in
taking the stop, and regret it, consequently,
all their life long. It is the haWit of a number
of match-makers and pro-connuWialists,
generally women, to scout the idea that any
man is too poor to We a husband, and, in due
season, a father. They have a deal to say
about the ability of two — the two are apt to
become four or five, or more—to live as cheaply
as one, which is, in general, obviously false,
us they roust know. There are at this moment
thousands of couples in the city who have
had, and still have, a hard, continual, dreary.
hopeUss struggle, because they believed in
tiiaf misoliievo rs fallacy. Luxuries are not,
it is neediess to say, essential to matrimonial
contentment; but a certain amount of money
is essential—sufficient to lie at least respect
able. Neither man nor woman of an}’ sensi
bility can be at peace if they are ceaselessly
occupied with the question of how the}’ shall
get on, with carping thoughts of dollars and
cents. Sordid anxieties will in time wear
them out physically and mentally, and the
mass of husbands and fathers arc doomed to
be tormented by them to their grave. The
bulk of educated, healthful, industrious
married men in this great city’ can barely earn,
on an average, $1,500 a year, if so much—
sl,ooo or $1,200 would doubtless be nearer
the mark—and, with that amount, they will
be lucky if they keep out of debL Most of
them are on salaries—comparatively few men
can push their own fortunes in any way—
and. if they arc thrown out of a situation, as
they are liable to be, they are in a desperate
strait. A man alone in tnc world can manage
to tumble or crawl over rough places somehow,
but as a hilsban 1 and father, the rough places
tax his patience to the utmost. Marriage is
in some sense a luxury—it, certainly is not a
necessity—and they who feel that they can
not afford it should wait until they can. If
they should wait, they might find that they
never can afford to enter a state which is to
an extent a copartnership, and which should
not be undertaken without assets proportioned
to the necessarily many liabilities. —New

I ;ie Baptist ministers ot Philadelphia have
been discussing the question, “ Is the pulpit
losing its, power?’’ 'Flic principal speaker
admitted that, the multitude was no longer
attracted to the churches, but he added :
“ M hat then ? The minister of Cluist is not
the hea l of a house of public entertainment.
If the public entertainer does not draw he i
a iail ure. Not so with the preacher. lie ma\
have a small following and yet do great good.”
Another said that the preachers who attract
e 1 the largest congregations were by no
means the mosPinfluential; another thought
that, preachers had weakened themselves by
meddling with politics ; and another remark
ed : “The inveterate tendency on the part of
the press to hold Christian sentiment up to
ridicule, and to attack the character of the
ministry, has had much to do in making us
lose our power.”
Bleeding at the Nose,
there are two littie arteries which supply
the whole face with blood, one on each side:
tnese branch oT from the main arteries on
each side of the windpipe, and running upward
toward the eyes, pass over the outside of the
jaw-bone, about two thirds of the way back
from the chin to the angle of the jaw, under
the car. Each of these arteries, *of ’ course,
supplies just one-half of the face, the nose
being the dividing line; the left nostril is
supplied by bloo 1 from the left artery, and
the right nostril from the right artery. Now
suppose your nose bleeds by the right nos
tril. with the end of the forefinger feel along
he outer edge of the right jaw until you feel
y ie heating of the artery directly under your
.anger, the same as the pulse in your wrist •
♦
then press the finger hard upon it, thus get
ting the little fellow in a tight place between
vour finger and the jaw bone ; the result will
be that not a drop of blood goes into that
side of your face while the pressure contin
ues ; hence the nose instantly stops bleed
ing for want of blood to flow; continue the
pressure for five or ten minutes, ruptured
vessels in the nose will by that time proba
bly contract so that when vou let the blood
into them they will not leak. Bleeding from
a cut nr wound anywhere about, the face, may
be stopped i.a the same wav. Those in the
back oft- c head, arms arid legs arc all ar
ranged very conveniently for being controll
ed in like manner.
