PATRICK GORMAN.
As the above cut indicates
Mr Gorman is nothing but a
boy now and when he came here
to take charge of the business
of J, N. Gorman Co , he had
not attained his majority.
Though young in years Pat has
handled the immense volume of
business that has been done
here by his firm with alacrity
skill that would have done
credit to a much older and ex-
man. During the
last two years and a half we
have been thrown in very inti

found him always active and on

For four year we have worked hard and spent our money in building

to acquire the best possible knowledge of how to sell the farmers

Some Why There Are Not Mora
Unions.
That matrimony is a happier state
than celibacy when it means a union
of hearts as well as of fortunes
is little doubt; but, though many
people marry for or something
for it, very few of
unions lead to lasting
Why is this
The great reason scorns to mo to
that in most lives tho ruling pas-
is self, and upon this rock
which comes in
with it is shattered or later.
A will often fancy very
much with a pretty
sprightly girl, and all tho so
if has some means of her own.
Now, tho real fact of tho
likely is simply that tho girl
him, and ho pictures a hum
with as its mistress as a pleas-
ant change from bachelor
In fact, what ho calls love
is only another for pure,
adulterated selfishness. Ho thinks
of and not of her, and when
ho discovers, as ho soon will
that she has rights, claims
and wishes to satisfied as well as
himself, ho will probably at first
feel much surprised, and then
aggrieved and indignant.
the girl may in
way as as the man and have
married for tho sake of position,
wealth, from parental
control, or equally
reason. If this tho
as soon as the little veneer of
attractions and sympathy which
they called has worn off, thou
both man and woman will find the
marriage bond irksome and will look
back wistfully to old days of
freedom.
In a case like this certainly
say love has been
by for, though both young
may have fancied they loved,
it was a mere delusion, which time
and bettor acquaintance must
have dispelled without tho
help of matrimony.
Look at a higher and a happier
marriage, in which both parties
start with a true affection for tho
other and a capacity for greater love,
and also with a firm purpose of
making the other happy. A few
years pass, and how duos find
lovers is
absorbed in her children and her
household cares, and her husband
of very secondary
Why is this She has
and alienated her
band's love by demonstrative
affection, which in unmarried days
was kept in check by maidenly coy-
and modesty. For a short
it pleased him to feel ho was her all
in all, and that outside him had
no separate life and interests, but
then very on
him, and ho at last, as it were, be-
came surfeited with tho sweets
for which ho had never obtained an
appetite by fasting.
For marriage to be happy
must cherished, and it must be
encouraged, carefully
nurtured and guarded, or it will
take wings and fly away forever.

From 1,632 letters d by
Latham, Alexander Co., New
York, as to tho probable total
crop of the United Slates
for this year, the estimate
placed 6.135,000 bales as against

decrease of more than one-third
in the number of bales. It is es-
also that this year's bales
average to pounds lighter
than last year, making the differ-
in pounds even greater.
