From the St. Lnnls.io!c-Dcmocrit. Samuel J. Tllden was the richest Amcilcan who ever enteied public life anil lemalned single to the end of his davs. His peislstent celibacy was re lunrknble, for, unlike Sir Thomas, Mr. Tllden was born with money, nnd thus fiom his jouth was considered eligible by the mamas of many ouik money. No Republican of half Mr. Tllden'.'. piomlnenee has gone through life without maiilng, but, Including David Bennett Hill, who seems to lie a continued bachelor. Dermic! ae ,-s rolls show a noteworthy tilumvitate of the distinguished celibates, James Buchanan, the onlv bachelor piesl dent, being tile thlid member theienf. Buchanan Is undeistood to hnve le ft .lined fiom taking a wite because, the gill upon whom he set his youthful af fections was obdlliate. He s said to have icgietted the single state to th. day of his death.

He maintains stoutl.v th.it the aitlst. no matter what the medium of his expression, should remain single, on the giound that th petty cares mid earplugs of domestic life tend tu wear on delicately adjust ed nerves and exhaust the mental flbte of genius, whether Its possessor be a painter of pictures, n worker In worel.c. a modeller of statues, a composer of music, a singer or one who amuses th people fiom the stage. John Gieenleaf Whlttler was a bachelor, though not fiom the same cause as the billllunt tletlon writer mentioned. Whlttler was a gieat a 1 mlrer of the married state, we are told, and In Ills boyhood had a blue-eyed, red-cheeked New England girl for his sweethedit. Together they went to school as chtldien. and when they grew to youth's estate ho told her the story most girls like to hear. She heard It gladly, too, but ho was poor and a poet, and hue must wait for recogni tion. She piomlsed, but waiting ! weailsome; betoio lecognltlon came to the gentle voung vei-emnkei' she for got him as a lover, and was manic i to some one t lse Edward Fiugci.ild, the tianblator of Oiuar Khay.v am's iiiatiains, was a bachelor, and theie was n lomance In his lite, much liko the one which sad dened Whlttlei's. but them was llttlj else which they had In common. Tin celibacy of Chailes Lamb was full of pathos, for he lemulned single all hit. life that ho might care for his sister. Veneiable John Bui roughs, n.ttui allot as well as w liter, and one of the most dimming of men, has never been mar lied. Mr. Buriouc,hs was not even a woman-hater, neither hns any one ever surmised that a romance caused his bnc helot hood. The only literal y bachelor who Is acknowledged to be a hater of women Is the English poet, Algetnon Chailes Swlnbuine. His sentiment appeals to bo biued upon the fear that a vvomai of little eultuie would be dull beyond descilptlon as a life paitner, and the conviction that the clever, well ln f oi mod uonu.ii Is the least nttiactlvc of her sex. Only one noteel Piotestant divine has been a bacheloi. He was Phillips Biooks. who finished life a bishop of the Episcopal chuieh, und seemingly poi-spssed every quality desirable In n modi I husband. The cause of his ie miilulng single appeals never to4 hivo been utidei stood, even by those who were closest to him. He did not avoid the fair, nor has any one been able to iccall a lotnnnce In his life. In his student davs and In his career as a cleigyman ho had many friendship.", with women, while his passionate fondness for children was remaiket often.

READING ALOUD. One of the Lost Arts Which Migh' Profitably Re Renewed. From the llnitford Cournnt. Heading aloud to the children and In the family elide how fast It Is be coming one of the lost aits. What multitudes of chlldien of former days were entertained, and Instructed, by this pi act Ice, and how few there are who ,ue so enteitalned and Instructed nowadavs. Children now, after belnfif taught to read. Join that gieat army which takes In the piinteel word, swift ly and .silently. Most patent, doubt less, nie too busy to spare time to edu cate theli suns and daughteis by lead ing to them, and as the children glow older they Und their houis too crowded to devote any of them simply to list ening. "What is the use?" they woull say, If asked. "Tastes differ, and vvs can lead what we want In a f taction of the time that would bo consume If we had to sit still and hear It." This Is nil tine enough, but Is theia not something lost In having the cus tom of leading aluud lapse so entirely? As a sign of the times, the change Is another proof of the lush and huiry o" life, and. In the family. It Is more or less to bo consldoied nn evidence of tho tendency to "Independence" on tho part of the jounger membeis. Com mon Inteiest In a good book, read aloud by a father or mother. Is a factor In the homo that Is Important enough to have botno attention paid to it. The opposite of "skimming" a book, It de velops certain mental faculties that it Is well to have developed, and as an exercise In elocution for tho reader It has distinct advantage. Books so reael are remembered, and their Influ ence on character far exceeds that of many a volume whoso piges aie turned In 11 despei.ito effort to leach the last. Heading aloud Is .1 salutaiy check on the habits of leading too much an I rending too fast. It would ceitnlnly be woith while to tnko up the practice In families wheio tho conditions fnvor It, ns an experi ment. The w Inter evenings aio long, and as one looks back on them he can find at least a few hourH that could have been devoted to leading, or tu listening. Bending nloud Is a quiet en joyment, to be sure, but It Is an enjoyment.
