Athena, Georgia (pocket edition of the
classics), emulous of the renowned love
romances of her Grecian najnesake, pres
ents us with the most marv-iskras love tale
ot modern times, It is marvelous in its
startling originality, for its heroine will
go down to incredulous posterity as “the
girl who was aYriad to get married.” Ob
serve we say “the girl,” not "a girl,” con
strained thereto by the fact that this maid
of Athens is the first one of bet mysterious
sex ever known to have the least fear of
matrimony, or any of the rights, privileges,
duties, perquisites, and consequences there
to appertaining.
Mr. Christainen, aged twenty-three years,
was betrothed to Miss L. A. Loehlin, of
Athens-, aged nineteen years, and the last
Sunday in April was set for the nuptials.
There would have been a fitness of things
had she sot April 1, but she didn’t. The
lovers were of the first rank, and the
beauty and chivalry for many miles around
were invited, on perfumed cards, to see the
maid of Athens take up the cross of mar
riage and beenriie a Christain. The morn
ing of the wedding day had arrived; the
brides trosseau and the bridegroom's
trowsers were ready, when a letter, signed
by the lady, was handed to the unhappy
Christain, telling him that she loved but
esuld not marry, through .fear, and en
closed $5 00 for repayment of license and
other expenses, ending up with, “Good hye,
my long loved one, good bye."
.Sweet Rameos and Juliets of all agos,
without resRect of sex, “color* or previous
condition of” the affections, paste this in
your scrapbook, for never will you find its
fellow 1 Cupid hero feathed its arrows for
a new departure, as politicians say. Eve,
had she known how to write, would never
haTo indited such an epistle to Adam, nor
Helen to Paris, nor Heqcise to Abelard, nor
Ophelia to Hamlet, nor voluptuous Cleo
patra to her royal lovers, nor even the
shrinking Sara Bcmliardl to her countless
admirers. Incomprehensible, inscrutable
girl 1 Even as the sable Georgian fiddler
j was tightening his flddlestrings and rosin-
) ing his bow to tickle the breasts of the
cancels with music’s voliiptiious swell, and
the soft eyes of the Athenian beauties
“looked love to eyes which speak again,”
the affrighted Loehlin fled. She pleaded
that she was “tempted to fly.”
The two nights before the wedding ‘dfcy
she calls the most miserable of her life.
Probably heartburn or colic. A pinch of
soda or ten drops of Jamaica ginger would
have settled that. She pleads “I must
obey the call.” Who called? “Succumbs to
cowardice” at the bare sight of a bridal
gown, through trimmed with clouds of
laces rare In texture and fabulous in cost,
and buttore 1 with the daintiest brilliants-
We are slightly exasperated that she
sent Mr. Christain a five dollar bill to com
pensate him, for her love was plainly not a
five dollar article
On receiving this extended letter from his
betrothal, Christian pursued and overtook
her at- the home of her sister in a neighbor
ing county. Miss Loehlin threw her arms
around his neck and wept bitterly, coiisent-
ed to return and be married; and finally,
backed out. “Almost thou pureuadedest me
to be a Christian 1” And the unhappy
Lacey, gazing tearfully at her retreating
form, responded: “Almost—but lost 1”
This Athens romance is absolutely with
out a para) el. In vain does this wretched
Christian exclaim, in the words of Byron:
“Maid of Athens, ere we part 1”
Give, oh 1 give me back my heart 1”
His Maid of Athens wqs to his lips as
sweet as Maid of Orleans (molasses).
“None but herself can be her paralel.”
Women have been known to run from a
sheep, to scream at a beetle, to faint at
the sight of a mouse; but to be afraid of
getting married, never 1 never 1

“Before the day of your marriage buy "a
bureau: have a fine lever lock with two
keys put on one of the little drawers. Have
it taken to your chamber, and when you
conduct your wife to that room hand her
one of the keys and say to her:
“Into that drawer I shall put all our mon
ey. It is ours, not mine. If you wish to
know what we can afford, you may find out
by opening that drawer. Go to it whenever
you need money.-”
You may be a wise man, you may be
what they call ‘smart as lightning,’ but you
will never perform another act as wise or
smart as this. I began my married fife in
that way, and have constantly looked back
to It as the happiest step in my life.”—Dr.

Cl»lclae*%* and Iaca-
bairirt,
Our readers will remember a month or so
ago we published a letter from a Kansas
correspondent on the subject of incubators.
He has sent n* another letter which will be
found interesting, especially to those who
are engaged in such enterprises:
Mb. Editob As many of my old friends
are desirous of knowing what success I j?
have had in the poultry business In Kansas,
I give you my experience: Over a year
ago I made two very good hatchers,
designed from some good points of several
I had seen. I filled them with eggs, and
they worked fairly well. I kept them
going from December 1st to June 1st, clear
ing from them $65, over and above every
thing, and that, too, in spite of the prjpejof
feed, and the fact that my chickens w'ere
marketed at low prices. The highest I got
was $6 a dozen, and the lowest $3,75. Dur
ing that time I attended to my regular
business. Believing this was a good return
for the amount of work, I began to- took
around for a more perfect hatcher, and my
attention was directed to “The Common
Sense.” Iff Juffc I got directions from Mr.
J. M. Bain, of NewConcord, Ohio,Secretary
of the N. A. Poultry Association, atfd I wiU
send directions for making theffd batchetB
to any one sending three 2-cent stampas to
brepay postage.
I had one made that held 250 eggs, afitl
cost about $7. My success vrith this hatcher
was all I could wish for and I immediately
had four more made. From these five
hatchers I have jiist taken 1,030 fine chick
ens, out of a little less than i,200 eggs. I
believe I am placing it modestly wheh I say
that I hope to clear $2,500 by July next, and
still pursue my UsUal business. There iff
no business as profitable as this, provided)
one gives it the attention it deserves, and
no business requires as little capital to start
bn. There is no necessity of men trying.to
hide the business or monopolize it. The
fields* the world and the world, like Oliver
Twist, is crying for more. There are thous
ands of , young men Who are
teachers; clerks', etc., Who look forwardard
to get a start in some lucy Wily. The was 18
open for them here tf tiiey will only Im
prove by it. Thousands of young women;
too, who feel dependent on some father or
brother, who in one year could place them
selves high above any dependence if they
only would. Get directions and make yoti h
hatchers immediately. You can make then!
yourselves. iiespoctfully Yours,
