Why Boys in the Country Marry
Earlier Than Boys in the City.
An article in a Boston paper says
that one reason country boys and in
small towus marry at an earlier age
than city men is because tho city men
see a lot of the responsibilities of life,
and a deal of the mismated couples,
and have constantly before their eyes
the helplessness of men when they
are tied to their families and huve
only a precarious hold upon uncertain
iucomes. City men, men in business,
are much more afraid of their in
comes, more fearful of meeting the
actual responsibilities of life, than are
the ruralites. They measure the du
ties against the elements of com
merce, and that is one reason, too, of
many of the unhappy unions. This
spirit is also fostered by the news
papers, which pile in all the nice
thiDgs they can say about “having a
house, carriages, horses, servant, and
an entree Into the best society,” as if
these were things a man could marry.
“All the heart can wish” is not to be
bought with gold; in fact, but a small
part of what the heart wishes can be
bought with the burdensome dross of
riches.
If mothers and fathers would teach
their children by example instead of
precept the true value of property,
that earthly possessions are but the
servants of humanity, that material is
but the helper instead of the master
of the mind, that contentment brings
happiness—that happiness consists in
what we can give, not what we can
get—that happiness brings joy, there
would be no such slavery to the idea
of what one owns. In the country,
wealth has no such weight. The
neighbor’s son knows the neighbor’s
son for what be is, not for what he is
worth. He sees and knows his asso
ciates for what they do, not what they
tell about, and what they aspire to.
He measures them for their inside
value, not their outside show. He has
confidence where the city man has
doubts. He has faith in his ability to
provide for bis needs, where the city
man has needs beyond hiB capacity to
satisfy. He looks upon marriage as a
natural condition where the city mah
looks upon it as a convenience or ad
vantage. He is not looking for a lev
erage against his fellows, nor expect
ing his wife to bring bim a living. He
understands the duties of life, and
fears not to meet them. Tbe coun
try boy knows the joy of an hon
est heart and the blessing of many
children.
The city man fears that children are
a burden, and be marries late and has
as few as he possibly can. Tbe per
petuation of tbe species is a law of
nature, and the, man or woman who
marries with any other purpose in
view misses his or her mission, and
outrages a law of nature for which he
must pay tbe penalty.
To those who marry with tbe intent
of fulfilling the proper function of
life, marriage has no terrors, and has
all there is in life that charms.
Tbe city boy, raised in the luxury
of superfluities and with the enticing
surroundings of “higher civilization,”
gratifying bis perverted tastes and
satisfying his selfish appetites, with
tbe fearsome shirking of responsibili
ties, unfits himself for the higher and
purer duties and enjoyments of mari
tal bliss, and finds it out when it is
beyond his reach to gratify. If tbe
love of ease and luxury were tem
pered with the proper amount of
common sense aud moral law, men
in the cities would marry as early as
men in the country, and the strong
men of earth would come from tbe
union. As it is, the weaklings are
those who are born by accident,
reared in ease, and devote their time
and energies to the satisfaction of a
selfish vanity, conducive to no last
ing good to themselves nor their fel
lows.
Pain-Killer as an internal remedy
has no equal. In cases of summer
complaints, diarrhoea and dysentery,
it enre9 quickly. Used as a liniment
its action is like magic, when applied
to bad sores, burnB, scalds and aprarine.
For the sick headache and toothache,
don’t fail to try it. In short, itiea
Pain-Killer. Avoid substitutes—there-
is but one Pain-Killer—Perry Davis'.

The Old Man’s Son.
Saturday Evening Rost.
The way of _ that rich youug man
who would be something more than
“The Old Man’s Sou” is hard. The
world has grown used to seeing tho
second generation dissipate In weak
ness what the first accumulated in
strength, for, under the shadow of a
giant fortune, those elemental quali
ties of character which are developed
and knotted hnrd by a free and un
sheltered struggle with the world
grow soft and sappy. Oftener than
not, ability is transmitted from father
to son, but raw ability is not enough.
Untrained, untried, undirected in a
struggle for advancement, it may he
an element of weakness instead of
strength. So, though the world has
nothing but respect for the “old
man’s” pockethook, of the son it is
not so sure. Honors may bo his for
the nsking, but they are sham honors;
valueless because unearned; neither
satisfying him nor deceiving the pub
lic; lacking the salt that gives them
Bavor; making him look beHide the
man who holds them by right of con
quest like a gold-laced general of
militia beside the scarred old colonel
who has sabred his way up from the
ranks.
When young Vanderbilt, by all ac
counts an earnest and an ambitious
young man, went as a delegate to a
recent political convention, he be
came a Congressional possibility
withiu twenty-four hours, and there
was not a yellow journal but did him
the reverence of a “front page story.”
Yet all that was not recognition of
transcendent genius in young Van
derbilt himself, but a tribute to “The
Old Man’s Son,” Not until be lias
been tried out in his ward and on the
stump, and has borne out the promise
of hiB earnestness, will he become a
“front page story” for a better reason.
Any young man whose father left
him a sufficient number of stock cer
tificates can be elected director in
half a dozen companies, but the world
will say he has a “pull;” or ho may
even go to Congress and it will cry
“barrel.” He must demonstrate his
ability again before he can secure rec
ognition for his individuality.

Pointing a Moral.
Louisville Times'.
When our heads reach that stage
when a foot-tub will about lit us for a
hat, it’s a mighty good thing to have
some wise friend or relative to put
’em under tbe pump and bold them
there until the feeling subsides. A
nice young fellow here married into a
society family. His father was one of
the honest, blunt sort of men, who
had accumulated a pretty good for
tune by bard labor, and who had no
nonsense about him. The young
couple began pretty soon to put on
fancy trimmings with the old man.
He was not invited out when they bad
a pink tea or a green breakfast, but
was used to fill in the chinks. Well,
the old man would not have enjoyed
It, anyhow, for he was used to plain,
substantial eating, and a supper of
little cakes, ice cream, one croquette,
a dab of salad and a glass of frappe
would floor him. When he had sup
pers there would be a big dish of
birds, hot biscuits, pickles and pre
serves, coflee, old-style chicken salad
and a hot punch afterwards. But the
old mao stood tbe change In the boy
for awhile until one day' as the son
came home and asked him to give bis
wife a chiffoneir, pronouncing it
“cbee-foo-ee-nay.” This was too
much. “Get into the buggy with me,”
said the elder sternly, “I want to
drive you to see something.” Tbe
son complied and the two drove up
Green street until they came to a lit
tle old, tumble-down Cottage, much
the worse for age. “There, sir,” said
the irate parent, “there’s where you
were born. Don’t yon forget it again
and be talking to me about your
wife’s ‘sebee-fong-yeas.’ ”
“There’s no place like home,” but
we don’t care to be reminded of the
earliest one we had.
To remove a troublesome corn or
bunion: First soak the corn or bunion
in warm water to soften it, then pare
it down as closely as possible withont
drawing blood and apply tChamber-
lain’s Paifl Balm twice daily, rubbing
vigorously for five minutes at each
application A corn piaster should be
worn for a few days, to protect it
from the shoe. As a general liniment
for sprains, bruises, lameness and
rheumatism, Pain Balm is unequaled.

A Few Newspaper Don’ts.
Milton Clarion.
Don’t discontinue a paper until you
have squared up with it.
Don’t stop a paper If your three-
column article is condensed into eight
lines. The condenser may have done
you a great favor.
Don’t abuse a paper unless you pay
for it. Borrowers are the greatest
fault-finders n newspaper has to con
tend with.
Don’t abuse a paper if it uses space
in printing something you do not con
sider worth reading. Those who read
your part of the paper may consider it
pure rot. A paper is built to please
many, not one.
Don’t take a paper out of the post
office for five years and thou refuse to
pay for it “because you never sub
scribed for it, nohow.” This is plain
thievery, pure and Bimple. You could
have refused it four years aud eleven
months before.
Dou’t get mad if your visitor’s name
does not appear In the personal col
umns. Perhaps you did not tell the
editor, and lie’s no mind-reader.
Don’t cuss the editor because his
opinions do not conform to yours. • If
they did be might be at variance with
some eight or ten million other peo
ple.
Don’t delay paying your subscrip
tion because It is a small matter. If
all the subscribers did the same thing
it would kill the paper in six
months.
Don’t expect more of the paper
than you do for it. If you expect the
paper to speak well of you, you must
speak well of it. Some people say
the paper has nothing in it, the editor
has no get up, is too old and fogy,
aud has no enterprise, and yet If the
paper would say half as much about
thorn or tbeir business, even though
true, they never would take the pa
per again, and perhaps never speak
to the editor again. “Do unto the
paper as you would have it do unto
you.”

A Painful Memory
Ht. Louis Pont-Dispatch. ,
A ludy who lives on Morgan street
took her G-year-old sou to a photog
rapher’s to have his picture taken.
She was anxious to secure a gopd like
ness at this particular sitting because
she wished to distribute the pictures
among her friends who were then her
guests.
The child’s idea of the affair, how
ever, did not apparently harmonize
with that of his mother, for when the
man with the camera began to adjust
the lens and direct it toward little Ed
ward that young person set up what
was unquestionably a howl.
In vain did the mother call into
use her utmost forensic abilities.
Edward did not waut his picture
taken.
“Why, my child,” she said sooth-
ingly, “the gentleman won’t hurt you.
Just smile and keep still a moment,
and it will all be over before you know
it.”
“Yes, I know, mamma,” whimpered
the youth, with tears running down
his cheeks, “but that’s what you told
me at the dentist’s.”

The Rev. Gasslus M. Roberts is oud
of the wittiest and jolllest of divines
in Kansas, a man who believes that
smiling is a part of Christian dnty,
and who persists In looking at the
bright side of things. Needless to
say, he relishes a joke, even at big
ofrn expense. In years agone he
studied law and was admitted to tbe
Ross county bar and practiced for
many years. It was on a recent visit
here be fell in with a number of his
former comrades) and naturally they
fell to talking over old times.
“Cassius,” one of theft asked at
last, “how did yon ever cofilS to
give up the iajv and enter the minis
try?”
“Well, boys,” he answered, his
eyes twinkling, “you know I was a
mighty poor lawyer and had bard
work to get along. I stood it for a
good many years and finally came to
tbe conclusion that it was a good
deal easier to preach than to prac
tice.”
The Barefoot Boy.
Hlairsvlllo Courier.
Contradictions, denials, appearances
and everything else to the contrary,
the happiest of all animated creatures,
hardly excepting the cherubim and
seraphim of paradise, is the barefoot
ed boy—and of this we speak advised
ly, having at one time belonged to
that class ourself, aud fully entitled
to wear a past master jewel and re
galia, which in this instance consists
of a set of toes each having a Square
front like a miniature brick, together
with a lamentable absence of that
horn-like covering which ought to be
a part of every well-formed toe. But
the very unhapplest of all creatures
is the boy whose mamma does not
permit him to go In his bare feet, but
who arrays him in knickerbockers,
long black stockings and nicely pol
ished tau shoes, and then tells him he
may go out and play with the boys.
Just think of that boy’s state of mind
when he observes how his compan
ions are attired, or rather their lack
of apparel. How they fairly skim
over the ground with nothing to im
pede their progress, and how they
edge away from him in a disdainful
manner! There’s no use talking—
bare feet induce happiness, and that
is one reason why we have some little
faith in the Kneipp cure.
When you want prompt acting lit
tle pills that never gripe use DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers. G. R. Bradley.
