"The mist subtle and deceitful hope which eror ex'sled, and one which wrecks the happiiipss nf many a young girl's life," writes Qvani.'eliHt Uwight L. Mooil}', in tho June Ladies' Uoinx Journal, "is the common delusion that a wonittii can best rufortu a iuhh by marry- inu liiin. It is a mystery to ine how people can be so blinded to tho hundreds of cases in every community whare totter- ing homes have fallen and innocent lives I hiive been wrecked, becausj some young girl has persisted in marrying a scoundrel ! in tho hope of saving him. I hare never 1 known i-ucli a union, and I have seen i hundreds of them, result ia anything but sadness and disaster. Let no young girl I think that she may be able to accomplish I what a loving muther or sympathetic sihtcr hate been unable to do. Brtura there is any contract of inarnagft there should lie convincing proof that there has been real and thorough regeneration."

Just as he was falling ho said "goodbye, fellows" to the young lads who wore with him and in all jiro- habilily ho will not doany talking for a couple of weeks, owinu to the necessary tight bandaging to keep fractured bonte in their i)lace. He is nourished tlirouyh a sinall opening between his tLClli, Ho fell a distance of sixteen feet alighting upon a couple of barrels and his escape from a violent death was miraculous. We are pleased to learn that he is doing nicely under tho circumstances. â€" Chats- worth News. :^^S^r^-:^-^-^-:^-:$3^^S. m 9} iProctor & Lilian Honor roll of Port Law sohnol for tho month of May.
