It a statistical fact that a great many of our young men do not marry although one of our fairest women writers baa young girls were never more beautiful, more nor more fascinating than our young men do not marry. Let us go below the surface and see if we can find a cause this state affairs. This is truly a age. You will find, upon a careful investigation, that, with a few exceptions, all greatest men, including statesmen, orators, actors, divines, authors and artists started in life poor and achieved eminence and fame by their own exertions. It is also true that but few of our young they alone by dent of birth or support themselves or a ex- h . their own labor. Let us far an example a young man endowed by nature with a strong, robust constitution, high- toned, honorable, and upright in all dealings With his fellow-man, and whose moral character is with- out a blemish. Let us suppose that he has, by his own unaided efforts, accumulated enough this world's goods to chase a modest little and to live in moderate comfort.

A Delightful Excursion. The Helper, a- society of girls of the Baptist Church, gave an excursion on the steamer Myers last Wednesday night and re- quite a handsome sum. The steamer loosed her about and wet the river about seven miles. A storm came but it did not seem to dampen the feeling of the participant, for they had a huge time.

It is said that anticipation brings more pleasure than realization, but upon this occasion the maxim may be reversed, for every one whose good fortune it to be present enjoyed themselves to utmost limit, and those had been anticipating so much wont away feeling that their anticipation had passed into Soon after dark the visitors began to assemble from town and country, and before o'clock the Opera House was almost filled to its seating capacity, and in face of every one could be seen an of delight as they beheld with intense admiration the elegant dis- play various kinds of paintings so artistically arranged under the of the accomplished instructor, Miss Rouse.

She had six pieces on exhibition, and none but a skilled artist could decide which was de serving of the most praise. was much admired and was indeed executed. Louis Ryan has only been taking lessons two. weeks and would have done credit to one older more experienced. Miss Laura and Miss Ora Light After a deserve special mention.
