Thar* has been a oommotlon in them
part*. Oar Florida hoy tiu crossed the
Bubkoti and got married. Ha found hit
brldalaat Winter our Sanford nnd be
lag called professionally to visit her In
valid father, look ajvautoge of tlm old
Ctleman and tried Ur* arts upon the
£hter. It doean’t taka a smart,
good looking young man long to cap*
tnr* ao unsuspecting maldoo aod ao
aba aarreudered at discretion. The
mother generally fall* Into line with
the choice of au obedient daughter, but
the old geatlaman waaent *0 easily
harmonized. “I’ll think about It, I’ll
think about It,’, said lit. “1 don’t
know much about yon I’ll bare to
lnqnlr*. I thought you wvro coming
out here to see me, hot It seems I was
mistaken. Ars vou meklng eoougb
to support a wife? Do yon lay up
anything or do you rpeod It all? What
does Sain my.about It, and tier mother?
Ttiia la a surprise to me, air; a surprise,
but I might tiava expeotod it. I will
nonalder It, Hr, and give you an answer
before are return to Philadelphia.”
My recollection Is that It la an aw
ful solemn affair to ask tlm old gentle
man for his daughter. I put It off
from day to day. I dreaded It. 1 had
ao trouble with the daughter or the
mother, but these old solid father*
oan't be beguiled with good lonke nnd
h00ltd wordr. I would like to sec a
book full of sueb Interview*— wlist lbs
young mao aaid and I tow be
mid it and what the old man
■aid In reply. I knew a young man In
the long ago who put It off until lie
found the old man alone In his held
sitting on a lug end he waa so excited
that b* forgot himself and asked him
to pleam to step ibis way for a minute.
The old man smiled and saUl: “Go
ahead, Jim, there is nobody behind this
lew.”
In my young day* that* had to be a
ronal Interview. Writing a letter
the old man wonld hardly have
been tolerated, but now it Is quite
oommon, aod ao the modem youth
avoids mooh embarrassment. Why,
they even pop the question In a letter
ana cover whole pegs* with eduratiou
end admiration and adulation and all
othar atloes and some promisee that
are likely to be forgotten after the
honeymoon le over. In our day tlia
£rla waited modeatly to be courted,
it now they ere more aggressive aod
yaaoy of them set snares to catch their
nme. Deau Hwiftaay* that tlic reason
there are *0 many unhappy marriages
la that tbs young ladles spend more
|lM la making oat* than in maJcina
■m I don’t Ilka thee* onld, oslcuW
Rkg matrimonial allisnoes. Tbs sx
jneialte, ecstatic, angelic, questions of
Cere should not be (oppressed. Never
wee a bride mote charmingly woo than
Coleridge's Genevieve. He had told

That la wbat It a tad to be called, and
U la a proper word. It ii In tbe dic
tionary and menu the reoeptloo of tbe
wedding party at the home of tbe
groom'* parent*. Too aee, the bride
far** * stranger to os. Her hone was
la Philadelphia end oor boy had to
travel 1,000 miles to get her and liked
to have bee* shipwrecked oft Cape
Hettera* on the way. The TSMei lost
two days in tbe storm. For a week
before that my folks had b*eo cloaning
bp tbe house sod seeding raisins and
stall-feed tog turkey gohblsra and they
(kept me or tbe man servant trotting to
town for "(Osar and tplea and all
that's aloe" or somethIng ties a doxeu
times a day. And they talked and
iwordered wbat kind of a girl the boy
pens bringing Into tbe family. I wan

Wa friends end kindred had barn Invited

The newspaper (laid I* a source of
:on*taot temptation to those who know
nothing about it, Tha Inexperienced
man lias an idea that a town of 90.000
Inhabitants will eusily develop half
-hat rumbar or readers. Bnt tba cx
IMKlrnoed man knows that in southern
towns of that eise a large percentage
must ba wiped off for negroes, and
that of tha remainder oue aobaorlber
xit of eight people ia a good average.
When it la remembered that some
people do not read at all and Ihst for
ivery paper paid tor there are aaveral
readeia, the force of this statement
will be appreciated.
Another idea which tha Inexpert
mead h»ve it that a newspaper proper
ly consists of a printing presa, an out
Bt of type aud a roll of white paper.
That is lhair great mistake. A news
paper property constats nf lu eaub
1 tabed patronage. Whenever that Is
luOtcieat to psy expanses, and leave a
good margin of profit, the property Is
«afe aad valuable Whan that is not
the case. It Is woras than worthless—aa
some know to tbalr.
Established patronage was never so
dear, by which wa mama to any that
Umt* never was a time when It coat eo
much to establish a nawspaper, or lo
maintain ooe already established.
The people of a town should be Juat
*s enthusiastic over tbe aacocaa of
Ibelr home paper as they are over any
public enterprise. It is a good Invest
ment. It talk* for a town and paopta
while tha people are rvetlog.
