We bear it said that romance ends at the altar. What a poor shallow Utile strenui must be the love of one who can indorse that sentiment. I belicvo in true marriage, the romance of courtship is but tho prelude of that poetry of life that will continue through time aud eter nity. But what a true symbol the dried up stream is, of so many married lives. Not always because tho current is shal low, for it is often turned aside into new channels by cruel, thoughtless words and acts. I have heard somo women say that they did not want their husbands to re main lovers. The true gentleman never makes any public display of his affection, but treats his wife or sweetheart with kind courtesy: I will say I am as fond of the little attention of the husband as I ever was of the lover, and think life is very beautiful. Thcro are not many days from early spring until late fall that do not have somo of beauty brought mo from the woods or fields to deck my tame uy my larmcr lad. rirst comes the dainty little spring flowers and the violets, and lator the blossoms of tho June berry which look so pure and white; and the dogwood blossoms, which aro very beautiful with their whito stain robes edged with red, the dainty wild roses which aro so much sweeter than any we can grow in the garden, and so many more that I never could mention them until frost has kissed the maples and bitter sweet berries, and cause them to blush a pretty crimson. I assure you I cherish theso little wildliogs more than anything i can grow in my garden; or any hot house flower. For besides their sweet beauty they tell me two things: One is that my husband has ptcasaDt thoughts of me when ho is out in the woods and fields at his work, and the other is that he has an eye and love for the beauties of nature which every farm er should have. Of course there aro some dark days Every poem or painting must have some somber color for a background, to brina uut i he daintier and sweeter tints. Some say I hat love is dumb, but 1 don t just believe it. It may be stammering in the beginning but not in the fulfillment hen a man loves a woman and feels that his affection is returned, it is as natural for him to speak of his ambitions hopes and fears, as it is for the lily to give off its sweet odor, and ho will do so until he is checked by lack of sympa ihy, or a breach of confidence. A woman might as well try to set dead ashes afire, astu try and loosen a man's tongue after. 1 wish 1 could prevail upou every young wife to have no confidant but her husband and the Father in heaven. For the little faults of husband and wife are loo sacred for oven a mother's ear. I have plenty of good friends, but I would not tell one of them anything I would not as soon see posted on the four cor ners' I would like to caution my young friends to be very careful of their words in those little ' love spats" as they are called, for cruel words will surely crush the flower of love. You may keep the dead leaves, but the beauty aud spicy fragruuee is gone forever. It is said, He who bridlcth his tongue, is greater than be who taketh a city." Mrs. Mae M'KINLEY'S POSITION. " "WA!!!

"I have often wondered," said Sfjuire en, "why it was that some women aie overwhelmed with suitors, so to speak, while others have not a solitary one. There is something queer about it, but perhaps it comes from perfectly natural conditions, but of which we are unaware. And this reminds me of a story. Some thirty odd years ago I don't know exactly how many, but it was somo time during the wur of the rebellion I beard story which a returned soldier was reading io a newspaper to a little group around him, to their great enjoymct. The story made such an impression on mo that I haven't forgotten it and will tell it in outline. "Mr. S. C. Peterkin was a prosperous young man of business in New York city, who got ahead in spite of his constitu tional modesty. This was his way in society more than in trade. Ho was afraid of women more than men. For a long, long time he had set his heart upon lovely young lady named Violet. He often called upon her and resolved again and again to offer her his heart and hand, but as often that heart failed bin). At last he became alarmed by the fact that the dashing Captain Latham of one of sound steamers was often at the house when he called to seo Violet. At last he could not bear the suspense any longer and he ventured, with much hesitancy and awkwardness, but with do or die ctcrujimition, to ask her if she would be his wife. With remarkable coolness she replied: " 'Y'ou should have spoken long ago, Mr. I'etcrktn. 1 have been engaged to Captain Latham for Home time past, and we are to be married very shortly. I am sorry to disappoint you, but we will be as good friends us ever, and you must come to sec mo just the same. The captain will always be glad to havo your company.' l'ctorkin went away sorrowful. But a brighter day soon dawned, for within three months after they were married I he captain fell off the steamer in a fog on the sound and was drowned. Now Peterkin took heart. He would have the widow. A year of mourning wore slowly away. He kept his eye on tb widow, but would not insult tho memory of tho dead by proposing until a decent interval bad passed. The year ended, and be laid bis heart ajain at the little feet of Violet. She heard him quietly and gen tly remarked: 'My dear. Mr. Peterkin, I am sorry to disappoint you again, but for the lust sis months I have been engaged to Dr. Jones. It was hard for me to make up my mind between him and his friend, the handsome lawyer Bright, but Dr. Jones was so good to me while I was sick in the winter after my husband's death that I promised him I would be bis at the end of the year.1 So poor Peterkin retired onco more The widow Latham became Mrs. t'r Jones, and so remained, while the dis comfited Peterkin wished the duel or might tako enough of his own pills to make an end of him. Time passed on terkin was walking down Broadway one day, while not fur ahead of him he saw two men, one of whom he knew to be this bated Dr. Jones. A large flat stone was being hoisted to the coping of a new building. The rones gave way It fell and iostantly killed tho two men, Peterkin rose to the emergency of the mument. tor the dead he could bo of no avail. His thoughts wero on lb widow. lie turned, he ran, be flew, I er abode. When she entered tho room where he awaited her, ha began; 'My dear Mrs. Jouen, I bring you dreadful new?.

Ho was a frequent visitor at my lather s house in south Carolina. uth Clay and uiy father were ardent whist players, and nothing was more to their minds than the collection of s bruco of gentlemen equally addicted to whist, and then the quartet would pluy for hours. While the name of whist might serve to imply a game where si lence reigned, my father and Clay didn't play whist that way. They exulted audibly over a success, and did not hesitate when they were playing as partners to violently point out mistakes the other had made and attributed defeat (o tho other's ignorance and utter luck of natural intelligence. Indeed, on occa sions particularly trying, they were even known to apply hard names to one another. This they did in no slanderous pirit, but to brighten up and sharpen the wits of the other to the improvements of his play. As they were sitting down to a game as partners one evening Clay remarked: It's a great outrage the way we talk to each other, and my idea now, at the outset, is for each of us to put up $20, to belong to the one who is first called hard names by the other. If you assail me, the money is mine, if I forget myself you take it. "My father readily agreed. He felt in a mild, agreeable mood. Ho was con fident he would never again be a prey to the slightest impulse to speak harshly to his dear friend Clay. And, besides, it was bis recollection that Clay was the muu who raged and did tho loud talking. So my father cheerfully placed tho S'.'O on top of Clay's. He thought it would bo a good lesson to the bluo grass orator to loose it. As they proceeded with th game Clay made some excessively thick headed and ill advised plays. He led the wrong card-; he trumped tho wrong trick.-; he did everything idiolic in whist that ho well could. My father's blood began to boil. As he and aud Clay lost game after game his wrath ran higher aud higher. Slill he bit bis lip and suffered in silence. It went on for hours until Clay made somo play of crowning miocciiuy winch lost him and my lather the eleventh gane. Flesh and blood could stand no more. My father sternly pushed I he $1(1 over to Clay: " 'Why,' said Clay, opening his gray eyes with a look of innocence and amaze' ment, 'why do you do thai? You haven't said a word,' " 'No,' retorted my father, 'but I'm going to tell you, sir, that you aro the most abject idiot, the most boundless imbecile that ever dealt a hand at whist. Yes, sir; I repeat it, you are the fool I ever met io my life.' " Chicago Times Herald. NOT ilSOMei.Y CONDUCT. A Man May Kiss ani F.mtracc His Wife in Public if She Doesn't Otjeet.

"But he says I am worth my weight in gold." "Dora, how much do you weigh?" asked the young man." "Let me see," replied Dora meditative ly, "what is my weight now?" "I suppose it is about one hundred and twenty pounds." "No; it is not quite that. I never weighed over 113, and that was last winter. But what are you doing?" The young man had taken a pencil and an old letter from his pocket, and was figuring on the back of the envelope. "We'll call it 11.1," he said. "In 113 pounds there are sixteen times that many ounces, or l,8n8 ounces. Now gold is quoted at 20.67 per ounce; 1,808 ounce; amounts to $37,371.31!," "What on earth are you doing, Mr. Hippie?" Miss Kecdick demanded. "I am ascertaining tho difference between Mr. Spratt's valuation of you and my own estimate. His value of you as reported by yourself, is precisely $37,371 3t.

In one of the old time burlesques a terrible lover appears upon the stage. He is all bespangled with daggers und pis tols. Coming into the presence of the beautiful object of his affection, ho ad vanccs toward her with measured strides, folded arms, and frowning countenance, Then he suddeuly comes to a halt, and in a voice of thunder he roars: " I love you! Just let me out your throat!" The audience used to laugh heartily, because, in the innocence of the good old days, nobody ever imagined that a limo would come when any lover would bo like that fellow. But, alas! we have plenty of them to day, Tho newspapers are full of them. It is gettiug to he i rather common thing for a young geu tlcman to u.-k a young lady to be good enough to commit suicide with hiiu And, as for shooting a girl in tho strett or in the tiarlor, that is becoming an every day occurrence. What can bo tho uutlu? Iu uld times lovers used to visit their ladic aimed with bouquets and bonbons. Now when they go to see lliein they carry ranors and revolvers. This is certainly a reform movement that can hardly bo commended. But what do tho gills think of it? They aro deeply interested in tin thing, naturally enough, and some of them might be able to give us light upon the subject. If tho paraphrase oould he pardoned, one might ask; Is it true that whom the ladies love they first make mad. New lork bun. Woman's lights!

It has been established as a legal principle that a man can kiss his wife on the street with impunity, without four of the law or without interfering with public pcoce and good order. And he may not only kiss his wife, but he may hug bet to his heart's content. The decision was rendered in the case of of Ezekiel Martin a United States soldier of Fort Mc pherson, who was arrested by Patrolman Phillips on a charge of disorderly con duct. It seems that Martin and his wife met on weft Peters street, and upon sight fell into each other's arm's and wept tears of joy and sorrow, the cause of which seems to have been that the wife was about to go on a visit to her grandmother for a stay of some time at least, that was the reason given by Martin for the conduct of himself and wife. Martin said that he met his wife, and as she was then going away Io visit her grandmother be kissed her, not thinking it was against any law for a man to kiss his wife. The evidence in the case showed that he did more than kiss bis wife, however. Two young men testified that Martin warmly embraced lis wife on divers sections of Peters street fur a distance of sevcrul blocks, and that tho performance created disturbance and disorder in the loca'ity of Peters aud lair streets, so sensational did it become. The couple fairly reveled in the performance of bidding each other a long farewell, tho festivities bciug pro longed for such a length of time that u policeman arrived on the scene and arrested the affectionate husband, com plaint having been made to him by W. Westlcy, a storekeeper, and others of the conduct of the man and woman. Officer Phillips said that it bad been reported to him that the man and woman 1 been hugging and kissing each other io a store, and that they were made to et out by the proprietor, who said that he didn't want any such conduct at his place of business. After hearing the evidence the court id that the disorderly conduct charged Had not exactly been established in his miud, the court not beio: able to see inything particularly harmful in a man ki.t-iiig bis wife on the street or elsewhere, although it might not be exactly "Peaehtrec etiquette."

With this new thought urging him on, hastened into her presence, as soon us he hopped off the car, and kissed her. Ho did this, thinking that possibly by this time tomorrow evening ho would be beyond the power of oseulatiou. Naturally, this unusual demonstration surprised the good wouian.
