Strong Recommendation.

Simeon Ford, apropos of a pretty girl’s mercenary marriage, said: “She was led into thie by her mother. You know what some mother’s are! Like Mrs. Avarus. “Mrs. Avaruß was urging her daughter to marry Naybob. But the girl cried: “ ‘Naybob! Why, he’s old and he’s ugly, he’s mean and he’s cruel. He’s illiterate and he’s vulgar. Naybob! Naybob has nothing in the world to recommend him except his wealth.’ "‘You forget his heart disease, my dear,’ said the mother, gently.’*
