THE YOUNU MERCHAMS ORDEAL. "Arthur," said Mrs. Leeman, addressing her young husband, ''it seems to me that Mr. Sharping is getting ahead of you in business." Ahl" muttered the young man, looking: up from his paper. "Yes," continued his wife. lie has just moved into his big house, and I expect wo sh.ll be invited to the opening party." "And you are not contented here, harahb' asked Mr. Leeman, with a shade of disappointment in his tone. "Oh, yes, I am contented; but then I aiMilrl liLo trt VtavA -nn lrwVIr 19 well that, ia I toamoearas well as Williair. Sharping does. You are as wll acauainted in the town, and I vou are as generally respected. Your store is as well situated and y u seem to possess all the advantages you could wish. I wish you could keep up with Sharping." Arthur Leeman wa3 a young merchant located in a large and nourishing village, where he had been in business nearly two years. He had been brought up by virtu ous parents, and his ideas of justice and honesty were founded on deep moral principles. Shortly before he enteied business for himVa mnrriori a. heAiitifnl cirl. w hnm he had' long and ardently loved, and who had, in turn, reciprocated that love. He had re ceived from her $2,000,which sum had gone a great way towards purchasing his 6tock in trade. He had rented a small cottage a neat,retired abode and here he settled down, with every prospect of continued happiness; and this happiness he had a right to expect, for his wife was mild and gentle, loving and true, and ever regardful of his welfare. His expenses he carefully kept behind his income,and, as might be expected, had made but little domestic show. His comforts were all solid, based upon the single idea of content." William Sharping also kept a store in the village. He bad commenced about the same umelhat Arthur did, but he seemed to have nade more money, for he spent more moaey n his livintr. and as has already been intimated, he was on the point of making a still greater show of accumulating wealth, j Sharping' wife was an intimate friend of Sarah Leeman, and hence the latter felt more sensibly the contrast between her own and her neighbor's outward circumstances. Ina few evenings, William Sharping opened his house for the reception of visitors, and of course Arthur and Sarah were invited. Arthur Leeman was wonder-struck by the appearance of his friend's domestic equipment. The furniture was rich and costly, and the carpets were all of the very finest material. .Large mirrors nung upou the walls, golden lamps adorned the marble . i r j ,. I mantel, and sumpiuous ouomans unu bo.m offered their temptations to the weary. "What a splendid house they've got, haven't they?" remarked one of the guests to Sarah Leeman. Yes," replied Sarah. And as sheepokeshe thought her interlocutor was drawing a comparison between her own and Mrs. Sharping's domestic establishment. . Sarah heard, on all hands, praises of the things on all sides of her, and she wondered why her own husband could not do all this as well as Mr. Sharping. She let the spirit of envy into her bosom before she was aware f ir nd from that moment she became un- I happy. She took no more pleasure in viewine the costly articles about her, and at an early nour sne arew ner uusoaua away uum the company, and begged him to go home. "When she reached her own snug, neat iittle sitting room, she forgot all the happiness she had enjoyed there. She only thought of the contrast between that and Mrs. Sharping's superb parlors. I'm sure, I don't see why we may not make as good an appearance as Sharping," she murmured, after she and her husband huA become seated. 'I can hardly afford it now, Sarah," returned Arthur. But why not, as well as William Sharp--Because Sharping has more money, lie makes more than I do." 'I can't see how he can do that. He must have one secret in trade that vou do not possess. O, I wish that we could keep up with them! People wi;l see that Sharping is more prosperous, and they will think Lim more of a business man than you are; and if he once takes the lead in trade, he will not only be sure to keep it up, but also to gain on his competitors. You know how people like to trade at flourishing places?" Arthur Leeman began to think there was some force in his wife's argument. He, too, . began to lose eight of the sweet 'content" he had been for two vear njoving. and ing ead thereof lie was looking for what the world calls "plenty." He might at first have argued more with his wife, but he remembered it was ner money that had helped materially to set him up iu business, and;he fearedto touch a cord that might vibrate upon that'point. He did not fully know the real character of his wife he did not know how holy and pure was the soil in her soul that had thus given life to a few noxious weeds. Had he fully known that her present envy was but an exotic, just sprung into life by thoughtless transplanting, he might have sought more earnestly to pluck it out; but he gave no heed to her words, and his own soul became the abode of discontent. Before Arthur Leeman retired that night he told his wife he could exert himself to outstrip his neighbor. A few evenings after that, as Arthur was returning home from his business, he had occasion to pass his neighbor's store, and as he saw a light gleaming through the chinks in the shutters, he thought he ftoald enter . i . . Sharping was there alone, and he had just closed nis leager. "Ha, Leeman, how are you? How s business V cried Sharping, with the air of a man who is well pleased with himself. Oh, so so' returned Arthur, reaching over the counter to shake hands. I've done capitally to-day," reaumed
Sharping. "A profit of fifty-eight dollars and thirty-three cents." "Not clear net profit?" said Arthur, opening his eyes. Yes clear profit. IIa, ha, ha I" And as the voung merchant thus laughed to himself, he leaped over the counter and rubbed his hands exultingiy. 'But I don't see how you did it," uttered Arthur, in a tone of nervous wistfulness. Ha, ha, ha! "What fools there are in this world, Leeman. Just look here," rattled the successful merchant, as he leaped over his counter and pulled a piece of goods from one of the shelves. There what do xou call that?" Leeman carefully examined the article with the air of one who understands his business. It's made to look like the finest of silk," he said, "but the great body ot the cloth is cotton. 1 never saw anything like it before," be continued, as he drew out a thread and ran it between the nails of hi thumband forefiBger, the.ebj stripping off the flossy, silken covering from a stout thread of cot-
ton. No; it's a new thing, I got it in New York. Sold a piece this afternoon fifteen yards for nine shillings a yard. IIa, ha, ha!" Nine shillings!" repeated Arthur, in renewed surprise. Why, the stutf is not worth seventy five cents." Bless your body, I only paid forty -two cents for it. Got it at auction. It's anew thing. Only think off from fifteen yards I made a profit of sixteen dollars and twenty cents." "But the one to whom you sold it must have thought it all silk." 'Of course she did. You don't think she'd have paid that price if she had not? But mind I tell you this in confidence. You are one of the trade, you know, and of course up to such things." Arthur Leeman was not "up to such things," but then he had not manly independence to say so. A new idea was working its way darkly through his mind. You didn't, of course, tell her it was really silk pure silk?" he said, half careli ssly. U, no," said Sharping, with a knowing nod. "Let me alone for that. She wanted something rich for a dress I took down that 'There, said I, look at that just what you want. splendid article just examine it for yourself.' 'What do you ask!' said she 'Twn rJnllra ' said T. Too hiirh ' she said. 'But, my dear madam, look at" it I must make mvself whole.' She beeged and I gioaned about the ruinous plan of selling below cost. But at last she iiit upon nine shillings. Ruinous, said I; 'but if you won't mention it if you'll promise not to tell of it, why seeing t it's you you may take it.' She promised, and took it. Ha, La, hal" 'Sixteen dollars and twenty cents!" muttered Arthur, aloud Ay, a good round profit," added Sharping. But then we must do it. Must live, you know; and we might as well have their money as anybody. 'Ihey've got it to spare, le they wouldn't spend it. When Leeman returned to his home, he fancied he had learned something. He had, in fact learned how William Sharping made his money, and half ofthat night he lay awake and thought of it. The next morning he walked very slowly toward his store. He was still thinking of what he had learned the night before, and he was trying hard to silence the "still, small voice," that wa3 whispering to his soul. "It's only business, after all." he said to himself. I may as well get a living as other folks." It was with these words upon his lips that he entered his store. His clerk was there, and the place was clean and neat. lie had been in the store half an hour, and at the end of that time hi3 clerk asked him if he was unweli. Unwell! What put that into your head, Henry? Oh I thought vou looked flushed feverish. I didn t know but that you might have caught cold." No, no; I am well." Arthur Leeman turned away, and wondered if he had been showing all his feelings. Somehow the store did not seem so cheerful to him as usual. The neatly-arranged shelves and boxes, and the choice goods, did not look so inviting as was their wont. During the first part of the day he sold some common articles, such as calicoes, lawns, threads, etc., but it did not occur to him that atpti hpr hfl mifrbt have over him that even here he might have over reached a single customer. He did not think of getting twelve and a half cents for ome of his six-penny prints. Sharping did it. but ljeeman was not yet initiated. At length an opportunity was afforded for Arthur to try his newly-discovered plan of business. Toward night a middle-aged gentleman entered the store and expressed a wish to purchase some cloth for a pair of pants. He was a stranger, having but a few days before moved into the village. I should like a piece that is good all wool thick and firm." he said, as Arthur d the wav to the cloth counter The gentleman looked over the goods, and at length his eye hit uj on a piece of dark, mixed doeskin. It felt Urm and thick, and was inf truth a handsome pieco. IIow is that?" asked Arthur. I think it will suit me. It seems to be firm and crood. Not quite so soft as clear - - o wool eenerally is." It is an excellent cloth a few days wear will soften it," said the youngjiierchant. trying to appear candid. 'What is it a yard?" Now the cloth cost Arthur just thiry seven and a-half cents per yard, and he had intended to eell it for forty-two, and he placed his private mark on it accordingly. Itwas just half cotton. One dollar." said he. And the word, as he spoke them, struck startlinelv upon his own ear. "You mav cut me off three vards," said the man: and Arthur hid his face as he did the work. After the cloth was done up, the gentleman naid tor it. $3 it was nearly $2 more than it coat a clear profit of almost 1U0 per cent. ... . .. Arthur Leeman had always made it a practice in be sociable with those with whom he traded. It was a five dollar bill tne gentleman tendered to payment, and as he passed it nvAr he remarked: T annnnae that is th e lowest you will take?" It is the lowest I ought to take," said Arthur trvinjr to hide his tremulousness, fnr h had "done something he knew to be wronrr. O .... .... . i.T -I Verv well, ' said the stranger; -i aiways wish to'pay a fair living pries to every one Wim wnoin x ueai,. us..u&, added, with a smile, honegtlv in return." "that I shall be treated lie took his change and left the store. Arthur took down his blotter and thought to enter the sale he had just made, but he hesitated Those pages were all fair and honest. lie dared not place there the record of his first dishonest act he had dcnel Oh, how he wished that his customer had not cornel how he wished he could recall the thing he had done! But it was too late. lie had tried the experiment. ..WW what a the matter. Arthur?" asked VMW. - 1 t . husband drew back Mm.

ST ' "What is it?" anxiously uttered the halfa umP.v mnvinff to her husbands . aaasvu w f - - - . side, and placing her arm around his neck. 'Sit down, sit down, Sarah, and I will tell you."
The woman sat down, but still kept her arm around her husband's neck. "Sarah," he said, with a painful effort, "I have done to day which I never did before in my life. I have been dishonest! I have lied and cheated!" "Lied! You my husband cheated! Oh, ho, no, no, Arthur I' Yes a man came into my store he was a stranger a new comer in town. He trusted to my honesty, and I lied to him.
Oh Sarah 1 wish I had and cheated him not done it " "But you did not do it you could not." "Listen to me, my wife. I thought I would try to make money as fast as William Sharping does. Last evening I was in his store, and I discovered bis &ecret. It I disclose it to you, you will not tell of it?" Sarah promised, and then Arthur related to her all that had passed. He told her of Sharping's mode of dealing, and described his own experience that afternoon. "I have been dishonest, and I am unhappy," he said in conclusion. "I do not feel the same man that I did before, for there is one man in the world toward whom I have done wrong, and I should not dare to look him in the face." For some time Sarah wa3 silent. At length the raised her lips to her husband's face, nnd kissed him. Forgive me," sh whispered, "for it was I who did this wrong. Oh. forgive me, Arthur. I was blind foolish. I was envious. Oh, I would rather live in the meanest rags of penury and want, than to live on the wages of my husband's dishonesty! I shall never be envious again. I shall never again think of bartering sweet content for my neighbor's plenty. It was I who wronged you. Forgive me." It was a tceno of mutual forgiveness that followed, and that night both husband and wife prayed that they mi-;ht not heed the voice of the tempter again. On the next mcrning the first person who came into the store after Arthur arrived was the man to whom the cloth had been sold the day before. The young merchant felt a sudden trerxbling coming to his limbs and the worst fears sprang to his mind. He feared that his wickedness had been detect d, and that he should not have it in his power to make a free restitulion But he was mistaken. The gentleman had only come for some stuff for lining and lacings to the pants he was going to have made. Arthur's heart leaped again, tor he should have the opportunity ho had hoped for. Ah sir," he said alter trio article just called for had been rolled up, ''I fear there was a small mistake made yesterdav, and I am glad you called, for I wih it rectified." "I was not aware of any," returned tne stranger, wonderingly. 'Step this way, sir.' Arthur led the way to the counter where the sab of the day before had been made, and laying his band upon the piece of cloth from which he had cut three vards, he continued: 'You took a pattern from this piece? Yes sir." "And paid me one dollar u yard?'' 'Yes sir." "Well sir, I was very nervous very uncomfortable at the time, and I made a sad mistake. I should have asked you but fortv-two cents per yard for it. It is part cotton. You may return it ar.d take another piece, or i wui pay oack meu.iue.tu, jus. as you please He chose to keep the cloth, and Artnur paid him back one dollar and seventy-four cents, lie was very thanktul lor the restitution thus made, and he remained a long time and chatted with the merchant, often making a remark upon the charm which he always experienced when doing business with one in whom he could con tide, lie proved afterwards to be not on W a good customer, but a valuable lriend to the young merchant. That night Arthur Leeman was happy; and his sweet wife was never happier in her life, for she had learned the real value of the . . . . . 11 1 blessing she possessed, and she had gained once more the treasure she had well nigh thrown from her the sweetest treasure of life Content. Time sped on. Arthur Leeman remained strict in his integrity. One by one, custom ers of William Sharping dropped into his store. They had learned tho real character of the dishonest merchant, and they fled from his counter. In oourse of time Sharping was deeply in debt his great house was put up for sale.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
Robbery of One of the Heroes of Austerlltz. f London News Paris Correspondence. The three audacious burglars who robbed General Schramm at his chateau near St. Dennis last year were brought to trial yes terday. The ringleader, Contesenne, wa? a Lieutenant of the National Gaurd in 1870. He appeared in dock in a faultless fashionable costume, and the whiteness of his handKercuiei ana wnsbuuuuB wn luu.u ibmarked. The other two were repulsivelooking villains. All three had frequently Deen in prison ior .ueti, n-..i-, pjauuiug and smuggling. Having ascertained that General Schramm kept the greater part of his fortune in his bed-room, they scaled the park wall in the night time, cut out a win dow and entered the house. The leader of the band stole into General Schramm's room while he was asleep, searched his pockets, desks and drawers, and made off with monev and securities to tne value oi 700,000 francs, besides jewels and plate. Two men servants sleeping near the Gen eral did not hear them. In the dining room they opened a bottle of champagne and drank each other's good health. Contosenne took the lion's share of the plunder, and only gave his accomplices a little ready money, of which there was but 1,U00 francs, telling them that he alone had intel ligence enough to negotiate tbo securities, and that they would share afterward. Nothmir wh hMtuvl nf the robbers tor montna. It I now appears that Contesenne, accompanied by Sonnet, one of his accomplices, went to m . ..Iva uelmum ana tooicasnip ai Antwerp ior new York. On board they made acquaintance with Madame Singler, an attractive young I woman, who bad run away from her hus- I band with 12,000 francs. She was fa3cinated bv Uontesenne s conversation, ana 1 m . I more by the wealth which he displayed, lie proposed that Sonnet, whom he represented as his servant, should be the lover of her maid, and that all four should retire from an unappreciative world to dome quiet spot far from cities. This scheme, which delighted Madame Singler, was frustrated by the fact that Contesenne could find no banker or money changer in New York who would cash the securities. At the end of five days he resolved to return to Belgium, and the hdy, though greatly disappointed, accom panied him. In Krüssels uontesenne ana Sonnet were arrested for a street row. This led to their detection and extradition. The other accomplice, Contesenne's brother, was also arrested, also was uiiDreuu, a winesnop keeper in Sevres, in whose house the plate and jewels were melted down. Madame Singler and her servant were kept for six months in custody and then discharged as having no guilty knowledge. Contesenne boasted in the docks that he had made much money by smuggling as much as 95,000 kilogrammes of tobacco. General Schramm, ninety-one years old, was unable to attend, but the case was fully made out by other witnesses and the prisoners' confession. Nearlv all the securities were recovered. The sentences were: Contesenne, ten years hard labor; Sonnet, eight; Louis Contesenne three; Dubreuil, four. The General is one of the lat relics of the great armies of Napoleon. lie was born in the glorious year 1789. He entered the army at fourteen, and his his tory at once became part of the great Chronicle of the Drum. It was at an age when young men rose to distinction with amazing rapidity. One of Prosper Merimee's best stories tells the tale of the capture of a redoubt. A boy officer has just joined his regiment on the eve of the attack of the re doubt. On the following afternoon he is senior officer ot his regiment. Schramm had experiences almost as curious. He had a. . i t courage, determination, ana tne good iuck to escape bullets. He fought at Austerlitz when about sixteen, and was decorated alter that terrible battle. The thieves must have been unusuallv base, and lost to the-honor which is thoucht to prevail in their societv. who could pilfer from a man who fought at Austerlitz. At the siege of Dantzic, Schramm performed a deed of gallantry for which he was rewarded by a Captaincy in the Imperial Guard. He was wounded at Heilsberg, fought in the Peninsula, left Spain and fought at Wagram; returned to Spain and made the terrible campaign ot Russia. He had just been promoted to a Colonel's rank when the battle of Lützen was fought. Here, too, he distinguished himself. He led a bayonet charge which drove the Prussians out of an intrenched position. This assault decided the fate of the battle. Schramm, who was twice wounded, received the title of Baron. He joined the army before Dresden, and there captured some guns. Napoleon made him a General before he was twenty-four. In the siege of Dresden he led two sorties, but was taken prisoner and sent to Hungary, lie refused to accept anv post under the restora tion of 1814, being, and no wonder, a stout Bonapartist. During the hundred days, when Napoleon had returned from Elba, and ad France flocked to his standard, Schramm had an important post in connec tion with the siege ot Paris. He is among the few who have thrice in their lives seen a hostile force in the Capital of France. During the Restoration he lived retired, and only returned to public life, and to what he must have thought the pettv bickerings ot African warfare in 1831. He was wounded in the affair at Mouzaia in 1840, being by that date, which is already so distant, a veteran in arms. Not unnaturally or un gratefully the late Emperor made him a Senator of Francein 1852. Few men have PO C(KKj an excuse for their Bonapartism as General Schramm, who came under the WOnderful personal influence otthe founder 0r ne house. He has seen three Republics, three Kines and two Emperors in France, njg jife j9 a Daeeol the most stirring, eventmi nistory in an vne cnrouiciea 01 tuo vivisjzed world. It is strange that such a man 6nould lived to be robbed in his own house Kv villains who. on their own confession. are a8 notable for excessive and abject meannes8 as i8 General Schramm for length ef i;fa &nA ror brill ant service. Contesenne, one o the blackguards who robbed General Schramm, seems to have modeled himself on the fashionable lead ers 0f companies of thieve whoareeommon in French novels. A study of Hasband By aWoman for wo men, but Men May Read It With Profit. Argonaut. We hear much about the art of winning a husband. Let us take a step further and make a studv out of keeping a husband. If he is worth winning be is worth keeping. This is a wicked world, and man is dread. fully mortal. Let 'is take him just as he is, not as he ought to be. In the first place, he ia verv weak. The wife must spend the first two years in discovering all these weak nesses, count them on her fingers and learn them by heart. The flneceis of both hands will not be too many. Then let her study up these weaknesses, with a mesh tor every one. and the secret is hers. Is he fond of a good dinner? Let her tighten the mefh around him with fraerant coffee,light bread. and good thinsrs generally, and reach his heart through his stomach. Is he fond of I , flattery about his looks? Let her study the aicuonary ior sweet woruu, u uer euuuiy gives out. Does he like to hear her talk about I . i . a V a iL . aia Driinant intellect r JLiet ner pore over me I m . 1 . iL . l A P encyclopedia to give variety w ine aepm oi her admiration Flattery is a good thing to studv ud at an nazzaras. in iib ueucawj shade, but it must be skillfully done. The harpy who may try to coax him away will not do it absurdly. Is he fond of beauty? Here's the rub let her be bright and tidy; that is half the victory. Next, let her bang her hair metaphorically and keep up with the times. A husband who sees his wife look like other people is not going to consider her "broken down." Though it is a common eneer that a woman has admitted that her sex consider more, in marrying,
the tastes ot her friends than her own, yet it must not be con side rod ludicrs'is that a man looks at his wife with the same eyes that other people do. Is he fond of literary matters? Listen to hirn with wide open eyes when he talks of them. A man doesn't so much cre for a literary wile il only she will be liteiary enough t' appreciate him If she have literary inclinations let her ktep them to herself. Men love to be big and great to their wives. That's the reason why a helpless little woman can marry three times to a sensible, self-relia'it wt man's none. Cultivate helplessness. Is he c irious?
Oh, then you have a treasure; you can al ways keep him if you Lave a secret and only keep it carefully. Is he jealous? I hen, woman, this is not for you; ceae reading, torturing their fretted heart which wants you tor his own, and teach him confidence. Is hourly in his temper and fault-finding? Give hirn a dose ot his on medicine, skillfully done. Is he deceitful? Pity him for his weakness, treat him as one who is born with a physical defect, but put your wits to work it is a bad case. It is well not to be too tame. Men do not waste their powder and shot on hens and barnyard fowls; thev like the pleasure of pursuing wild game quail and grouse and dear. A quail is a good model for a wife neat and trim, with a pretty, swift way about it, and just a little capricious. Never let yourself become an old story; be just aliitle unceitain. Another important fact is. don't le to co -d; it hurts his feelings and becomes motonou? Cuiti vate a rtieRs.mt voice. o that this verv mortal man may have his conscience prick nim when he is jeopardy; its pleasant ring . win nauni mm mucn more man woun a sural one. It is hard to do all this besides taking care of the babies and looking after vexatious household cares and smiling when he comes home, but it seems necessary be . m - . 1 1 "io be born a woman is -to be oorn a martyr, says a husband who tor ten years martyr," has watched in amazement his wifetreaiing the wine press of her existence. It i3 a pitiful sight to some men. But if the wife does not make a study of these things, the harpy will, to steal away the honor from his silver hairs when he h lu;l of years and the father of sons and daughter. At the same time, gudewife, keep from trying any of these things on any other mortal man but your own. lhese rules are only evolved to order to "keep a husband." The poor, weak creature would rather be good ihan bad, and it is woman's duty to hold him by every mean in her power. P.e Patient. Be patient, oh, be patient! put your ear against the earth; Listen tliere how uoKelegxly tLe germ o the seed bas birtb; IIow noiselessly and gently it upheaves its littl way. Till it parts the scarcely broken ground, and tbe blaJe stands np iu the day! Be patient, oh, be patient! the germs of mightj thought Must have their siler.t jiudTgrowth, must under ground be wrought. But as sure as ever there's a power that makes the grass Hppcar, Our land hall be green with liberty in the bladetimj of the year. Be patient, oh, be patient! go and watch the wbeatts grow. So Imperceptibly, that ye can mark nor change nor throe; Day after day day after day till the ear is fully grown; kud then, auain, day after day, till the ripened field is brown. Be patient, oh, be patient! though yet our hopes are green. The barvext field of freedom shall be crowned with tLe suiny oheen; Be ripming! be iitriug! mature your silent way, Till th whole brua.i laud is tungued wiin file, ol freedom's harvest d y! Vt ices of the True Hrarted. A Wife for Kach Oay of the Week. London Telegraph. The Newab of G.indal in India has chosen seven vouintui ana loveiy oriaes irom among the daughters of the Gondal aristocracy, and has made arrangements to lead them to the altar, one after another, upon seven successive days. It will be the pleasing duty of each bride, progrs.-ively and in regular rotation, to attend the wedding celebrated subsequently t- her own, so that the first lady of the series will enjoy tbe unusual privilege of witnessing seven nuptial ceremonies, in all of which she will be more or less interested, within the limits of a single week. The sevenfold bride groom, however, has be&towed upon all his brides wedding dresses and ornaments of identical material, design, and value. The rooms thev are des-tined to occupv in his palace are all burnished exactlv alike; and the accident of seniority, as regards the mere date of their respective marriage ceremonies, is not to carry with it any precedence at court. II i nt h for Husbands. When Theodore Parker was married be entered in his j mrnal, on his wedding day, the following suggestive resolutions. They are good for all married couples: 1. tver, except for the best of reaona, to oppose my wife s will. 2. lo discharge all dities tor her sake freely. 3. Never to scold. 4 Never to look cross at her. 5. Never to weary her with commands. 6 To promote her piety. 7. To bear her burdens. 8. To overlook her foibles. 9. To save, cherish, and forever defend her. 10 To remember her always, most affection at ely, in my pravers. Thus, God willing, we shall be blessed. Until a boy is about fifteen years old his chief craving is to be a hero. After that he begins to experience a change. His dreams of stapling Indians gradually fade out, and the highest notch ot hi ambition is to sit on the back stoop with his plavmate's snter and give way to a feeling of lum-tumminess, as it were, SOCIETY DIRECTORY.
