With the approach of spring and the increased interest man- ifested in real estate matters, TIam more than ever consult- ed by intending purehasers as to favorable opportunities for investment,and to all such would say— When putting any property on the market, and advertising it as desirable, I have invariably confined myself to a plain unvar- nished statement of facts, never indulging in vague promises for the future, and the result in ev- ery case has been that the expec- tations of purchasers were more than realized. I can refer with pleasure to Albright’s Annex And Baker Place as sample illustrations. Lots in the “Annex” have quadrupled in value and are still advancing, while a street car line is already building past Baker Place, adding hundreds of dollars to the value of every lot. Albright's Cholce was selected by me with the greatest care alter a thorough study and with the full knowledge of its value, and I can- conscientiously say to those scek- inga safe and profitable invest- ment that Ibright's Choice offers chances not excelled in this market for a sure thing. Early investors have already reap- ed large profits in CASH, and with the many important improvements contomplated, some of which are now under way, every lot in this splendid addition will prove a bo- nanza to first buyers.

New York Tim Away back in 1873 Mary Nugel, becu aged to be mar- ried, and wrote to her widowed aunt, Mrs Ida Peyser, then temporarily re- sidingin Paris, informing her of the - teresting occurrence. Mrs. Payser wrote back a long letter. “I am very glad, my dear Mary,” she sad, ‘that at last you are going to be married, You do guite right. It is very nard for a woman to live alone in the world without a man to cheer and console her. * XL My dear niece I my going to make you a wedding present ot §3,000 out of my rents.

A month betore her second marriage she made a will, in which she bequeathed one half of her for- tune to Zeising snd the other half to her sister Mrs. Nagel, with reversion to Mar and her four sistars, among whom it to be equally divided after the death of their mother.

Ex-Governor Edward Salmon, a3 connsel for the es- tate, opposed the confirmation of the re- port pefore Judge Patterson, in the su- preme court chambers yesterday. He clajmed that her aunt's promise to Mary was nothing more than the expression of an intention on her part to make a wed- aing gift, and that she had a perfect right to ‘go. k" on her promise if she chose to. ~Decision was reversed. Abuse of the Pet-Name Craze. Williamsport Grit: It has frequently become our duty to warn husbands against the pernicious practice of calling their wives ill-advised pet names. The recoras of the divorce courts of all cities contain instances wherein domestic fe- licity has been entirely ruined by the abuse upon the part of the husband of a was also in the afMrmative, though she added that the question was of no practi- cal importance, as compromising letters are never sent through the post. Mme. Adam was the only dissentient. In her opinion the husband who opened his wife's lotters was nothing more or less than a blackguard. For Better for “For better for worse" Worae, is the heading of an article in the Forum for April from | the pen of the author of “iohn Halifax, Gentleman.” The writer begins by pointing out the flippancy with which these words are usually repeated,and the pity which young creatures feel for those nd " outside the e of matri- mony. They are to be pitied, she say. for “single life is necessarily an impor- fect hife,”” nevertheless there are only units among the thousands who have known the rapture of love who live to Kknow the ‘“‘comfort of ringe”—the unity of interests, the entire reliance, the faithful companionship, and the certainty that nothing but death will ever separate. The worldly side of marriage has been much discussed. Our author takes the moral and spiritual and the woman's side of the question. It is a man’s prer tive to woo and win; if his mar J turns out to be a mistake he has ordi- narily only himself to blame. Women are prone to yield to persuasion: poverty, le, disappointment and other more motives tempt myrinds of them to marry in haste, ete,, and they wake up to find themselves iike the creature fallen into n bog, where the more it struggles the deeper it sinks. And her struggles are for the most part dumb. Not always! AMIDDLE AGE Scores of silly women upon the minor miseries of life in d of tuking them—and the husband—"for better, for worse,” and striving by all conceivable means, by patience, by self-denial,by cour- age wlien necessary,and by silence endur- ance, always to change worse into bet- ter. This can be done and is often done. If we who have lived long enough to look back on life with larger vision than the young are oiten saddened to see how muny of the most pussionate love middle age of others which, possessing all wretchodness, t, generally on something not S Every woman who marries has to 1 soon or late, that no two human beings can be tied to* ether for life without finding endless difficulties, not only in the world outside but in ch other. These have to be solved and generally by the wife. She must have a strong heart, a sweet temper, an unlimited patience and, above all, a power to see the right and doat. “ALL WORSE AND NoO The writer follows thes; the declaration that s for those whose matrimonial lot is the average onc, but those to whom mar- ringe has turned out ‘‘all worse and no better,”” who are bound with a heavy chain, the iron of which enters their very soul, and from which death holds out the only hope of escape. The question raised is how long women should endure the chain. The opposite question, as to how a maa should deal with a bad wife is not cousidered. ‘‘Men are the law- makers, and can be trusted to take care of themselves.’" NEW VIEWS OF WOMAN. Public sentiment has changed since the days when christianity taught that woman was absorbed by man, “‘bone of his bone and fleshof his flesh,” with no rights of her own, hut there is still a lurking fecl- ing in favor of the man and against the woman, a clinging to the letter of the law, “Those whom God hath joined to- dangerous conjugal privilege. One lady appliea for a divorce in Chicago because her husband ealled her a goose. In the Sterling case, which had just been de- cided in Brooklyn, it was shown that the husband called his wife “Nigger.'” He might have known pcrlectlfv well that such a name was only applied to a cer- tain brand of tobacco. 1t 1 safest in all instances for husbands to address their wives l:{ the name which the wife's mother decided she should bear. Advice to Wives. The following aphorisms were evidently written for the Brooklyn Magazine by a man: Remember that you are married to a man, and not to a god; be prepared for imperfections. Anticipate the discovery hy your hus- band that you are “‘only a’ woman;" if you were not he would not eare about you. Once in a while let your husband have the last word; it will gratify him and be no particular loss to you. Let him read the newspaper at break- fast table; it is unsociable, but, then, it 1s only a trifle, after all, and he likes it. Be reasonable; it is a great thing to ask under some circumstances, but do try; reasonable. women are rare—be rare. Let him know more than you do once in a while; it keeps up his” self respect, and you will bo none the worse for ad- Elimng that you are not actually infalli- 1o, Read something in the papers besides fashion notes and society columns; have some knowledge of what is going on in foreigu countries. ‘Washington Marviage Companies, Philadelphia Ledger: A number of clerks in the treusury department have formed a murriage insurance company. Twenty of them have already paid in ! their jnitiation fe2s and pledged them- selves to stand by the contract. The number is limited to fifty. They agree to pay $100 cach when one of the ‘members wets married. A marriage in the asso- viation is expected within a few days,and then there will be a test of the practical working of the organization, Itis said that in one of the most fashionable clubs in Washington a close corporation con- sisting of ten or twelve of the yonng and single membegs has been formed for the Furpuuu of marrying into wealthy fami- ies, A contract is signed by each one entering the organization to pay, within one year af the time of marriage, ten per cent. of the money and property ob- taned by the marriage. Itis agreed in the compact that the energy and mflu- ence of euch member shall be exercised without restriction to the success of the end aimed at. Each maun is agent for himself or some other member of the or- ganization, and'has his_eyes wide open to ascertain where profitable marriages can be made. When a courtship is be- gun then the combination begins to work, and all kinds of schemes are mi- nipulated to make his eflorts successful Can a Man Open His Wife's Letters? St. James' Gazette: The Parisian ad- vocates discussed the delicate question ‘‘Has a husband a right to open his wife's letters” at their last conference, and they decided that he has. A journalist who has consulted several extra-legal luminaries on the point find them, with a single exception, in substantial agree- ment with the lawyers, An enlightened priest, whose name is not given, an- swered that the doctrine of the church was that the husband was master of the house, and that he had, therefore, a pe: fect right to open his wife's letters, M. de Pressense, the leading Protestant pas- tor in Paris, was somewhat less aflirma- tive; though, as regards wives who hud anything to fear from the exercise of the right, he nupzmnod the decision of the barristers, while in the case of a good wife he could not see how it mattered either way. Alexandre Dumas, looking at the question from a historico-philoso phieal standpoint, contended that what we know of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, clear]y establishes the right of the husband to inspect his wite's corre spondence. Mme. Peyrebune's answer gether let no man put asunder,” forget- ting that many marriages scem made not by God but, if I may say it, by the devil, and that even the marriage service itself warns us that “‘as many as are coupled together otherwise than as God’s word doth allow are not joinea together by Him, neither is their matrimony lawful,” RIFICE NOT THE RIGHT THING. arriages are unlawful from the first,” continues the writer, “‘and many more that become unlawful after- ward, to continue in which 18 far more sinful than to break them. Besides infi- delity, the one cause for which English law justities & woman in quitting her hus- baud, there are other wrongs, equally cruel and equally fatal in result, which society allows her to endure to the bitter end. A man may be a conlirmed drunk- ard, a spendthrift, a liar, a scoundrel so complote that no honest gentle- man wonld admit him within his doors; and yet the wretched woman, his wife, is "expected to ‘do her duty,’ to stick to him through thick and thin—so goes the phrase. She must shut her eyes to all his sins, and make beheve to herself and the world at large that none exist; ‘obey him and serve him’ ac- cording to her marriage vow; conlinue to be the mistress of his house, and— most terrible fate of all!—the mother of his children. And the world, even the virtuous halfof it, will uphold her, praise her, aflirming that she only does what every loyal wife ought to do, and that she i8 quite in the right to do I say 8ho is in the wrong, culpabiy in the wrong; that her noble enduranee, falsely so-called, is mere cowardice, and her c_onfjugul submission a degradation as sinful as that of many a woman who omits the marriage coremony altogother. Even her self-sacritice is a erime, for it does not end with herself.” And here is wherg the writer thinka enduranes should end, The childless wife may immolate herself upon the moral suttee if she chooses, but a wo- man’s first duty is to her children, and where it clashes with her duty to her husband there is no doubt which she should choose. A man can take care of himself; can ruin or save himself, but very seldom can a woman save a thor- oughly bad husbaud. Nor is she respon- sible for him beyond a certain extent. She is responsible for her children from the hour ot their birth THE FIRST DUTY TO THE CHILDI No mere fault or misfortune, su incompatibility of temper, hopel ness or worldly ruin does in the least ab- rogate that solemmn ‘‘for better, for worse;"” but vice does, Confirmed drunk- enness, eyil courses of any kind, utter Inck of principle, cruel tyranny, or that violence of temper which 1s akin to mad- ness and a8 dangerous; anything which compels & woman to say to” her children that to serve God they must not imitate their father, warrants her in quitting him and taking them away from him. When- ever things come to that Yn&i that the vileness of the tather will destroy the children, physically and morally,” then the mother’s course is clear, Sho must slave them, not suffer the father's sins to bight their whole future existence. For —Ilet me dare to utter the plain truth— the y ought never to have existed at all To make a drunkard, a debauchee, 8 scoundrel of any sort, the father of her ohildren is, to any righteous woman, a sin _al most equivalent to child-murder.
