MOLLY CROWOE’S LIIfE.
It was Monday morning a htin
b ed odd years ago. a cool morn
mg with a blue sky over which
rouped crowds of cumuli borne
>v the west wind. Two horses
tood saddled and bridled ai
squire Crowile's gale. Presently
n the y ard, which bristled all
tround the edge with Lombardy
joplars, emerged a group from
me of tbe side house doors ol
SquireCrowile - s, his wife, his two
-ons—Moses ami Luther—his
laughters—Fear and Molly—and
Captain Israel Brown and wife,
he said Captain Israel being

They straggled in confused Dr

no such pleasure possible. Pus
tage was costly, and there were
few routes in the whole country.
Between Manomet, which was
twenty miles away, and Douglas,
there was none; and the friends
would have to depend on chance
travelers for notes and news.
There were tears in Prissy’s
blue eyes as she bade Molly
"good by.” but it was a very quiet
good by. Our Puritan grand
mothers did not rush into each
others arms and kiss ecstatically:
they did all tilings "decently and
in order.” The family farewells
were equally subdued. The hors
es were led tip to the mounting
block. Molly had mounted with
a light leap. Luther tucked her
little foot into the stirrup, and I
she bade father, mother and broth
trees and shrubs into almost im
penetrable thickets.
Molly had ridden but a mill
when she was surprised tn find
herself conscious of a feeling of
uneasiness, a feeling we should
call, in our modern phrase, “nerv
ousness.” The least sound, the
flight of a partridge, the fall of a
nut dropped by a squirrel, star
tled her. She caught herself
peering into the thickets hy the
roadside, and looking ahead with
a feeling of apprehension at every
turn and wind of the road, which
made a gradual ascent for about
three miles to the crest of the
ridge, known as Saddleback,
which separated Manomet from
the adjoining town of Seaside.
Baal cantered slowly along.

leave of her friends the day before
at the meeting house, a leave in

she sat in her place ill the singers'

Judge William Carter, of She

of Selma, were both natives ol
Lexington. Kentucky. In boy

same tanners, were otherwise en
vionsly intimate friends, after
wards, eliums at college and then
errand boys in the same office.
Later in life they parted and rose
to sublime honors in their sepa
rate place.
Last January they met for the
first time since their parting, in
Lexington, and brewed a convi
vial bowl in honor of the event.
About midnight, full of affection
and enthusiasm, they retired in
the same bed. It was a cold
night, and they placed their clotii

after they fell asleep four friends

Before ami after Marriage.
Not nnfrequently both men and
women expect more from mar
riage than it is in human nature
to yield. In the romantic court
ing days the love making is fresh,
and sweet, and all engrossing,
and the reflecting innocents are
deluded into the belief that the
bonds of matrimony are alone
needed tn secure them a life of
love and joy at the high fever heat
of the warm, youthful moments.
But sueti an anticipation ol heav

heat must cool down, and intoxi
cation of love sober into the tran
quility of friendship. It is a
great m. ter to get safely through
the cooling process. The danger
is that, when it begins, one or the
other, ignorant that its cause lies
:i the nature of tilings, may
throw the blame on an innocent
partner, and in his or her sweet
heart sigh rnertbe awful misfor

making falls to him, and as a rule,
lie does not spare himself. For
weeks, for months, .for years, he
worships at the feet of his fair one
with compliment, flattery anil
endless attentions. He seems the
slave of her smallest wish. In
all this there is much acting, often
much conscious acting. Mar
riage is the dropping of the cur

in its consequences, melancholy
farce. And when lie sees the ef-
lect of the play, he sincerely wish
es it had never been. The atten
tions cannot continue. Nor is it
desirable that they should. Yet
in getting them for a lime, women
are taught to expect them forever.
The arrangement is cruel to wo
men. It is like the practice of
first spoiling children, and then
punishing them for being spoiled.

farmers against money lending
corporations. The advice given is
good to farmers who are out of
debt, but aias! many are so deep
ly involved that the borrowing of

economical living anil prudent
management, pay off the indebt

off altogether. If farmers will so
manage as to fall in debt they
should thank the money corpor: -
tions for keeping off the sheriff.
