Young d.on. Beware of Sailing Jnder False Colors. My I'ncl liisr was an old bache lor. Why h. preforrvd tin' tate of tNinjjlo bles.'MMliie-sM he kept a secret, but at I:tNt he. muK me a confiilaot. One oveninn1, us we sat tofther in my uncle'ii comfortahlo mansion, I found hitn in a verj comiuunicative mood, and partaking ruthoj- frwly of hi.- choice old sherry, of which he kept a ITh1 supply, and to my tustonishtuent he broached the subject which I had promised to lrmrf up. "My dear laiy, said ho, I sup xs' you hare often wondered why I remained an old bachelor? Ys, uncle," snitl I. In an airy, off hand wny which did not at all In-tray the depth f my curitmity. "I am sure you must have lud atuplu opportunity to Nee the cream of society and make a stiitalile choice of a rtiiupanion. Well." said he, "I will tell you, and the story may be a jfood subject for 3-otir dreams of future speculation. "When I wan a younjf man I iw rathr fond of uiakimr a jjotwl show in society. At times this was performed on a very limited capital. Shortly after 1 settled in New York I made the ac quaintance of a lM-aut:ful and estima ble yomy la)y. Mi-. Clorinda Swan, and I lost no time in paving the way fur ;t matrimonial alliance with her. "On evening the subject of con versation iM-ttveeti us ran upon operas, ami the upshot of it was that I invited Clorimia to -o to the Academy of Mu sic the next evening. As I have aaid. my means were then rather limited, and now I had just enough left to pay for the tickets, but no surplus for car plus for carriage, supper and etceteras. With these I determined to dispense, as I thought my fair (.'lorinda waa too sensible to notice the loss. "Fortune favored me at the start: the eveninjf was fine and the ground dr3 so at the appoints! time 1 made my appearance, dressed in the let I con Id afford, antl waitol patieutlv for Clorlntta. She toon put all my fears on the carriafre question to flight by assuring me that she preferred walk ing. 'We chatted payly on the way to the academy, and were in due time for performance, which was the opera of '.Martha, with Mme. I'arepa-Hosa in the leading role. Of the performance I need not speak. The opera was all that we could desire, and was ren dered most admirably. "When the performance was over we descended the stairs amid the gay thrrifr, and soon reached the sidewalk. 15ut, h. horror of horrors! it was rain inr! What was 1 to do? To tret a earring, without havinjj a cent to pay for it. made my blood run cold. A happy thoupht occurred to me in a moment, arid in a nervous whisper I aked t'lorinda if she had rubbers on. To my dismay she answered: , " "Xo: rar bttt are very lijfht, too, and I could not think of walking. We must yet a carriage.' "Of course there was nothing left for me but to face tbe music, and I hailed one of the many drivers who were anxious to fret passengers. I as sisted my fair (.'lorinda to a seat, - nnd in a few. moments we were whirling along through the rain. Hardly had we Ktne two blocks when (.'lorinda said she was hungry, and asked me to stop and get supper. My feelings can easier lc imagined than described as I thought of my empty pockets, and tried to reason her out of eating so late at night. All my arguments were fruitless, however, for my dear (.'lorinda was not to be thwartetL "Thinking that fortune might le friend me by some means then a mys tery to me, I ordered the driver to stop at the nearest restaurant. We entered the saloon and took seats at a table in the center of the room. I determined to eat as little as possible, but (.'lorinda was not by any means so delicate, and quietly took the. liberty of ordering what she 'wanted. In vain Ilooked around to sec if by chance the saloon contained an acquaintance, but to my dismay not a familiar face was to be seen. - "As yon may Imagine, I wasnot in a hurry to leave the table, but my com panion lekran to show strong signs of restless anxiety to get home, so I thought I"d better start and have it over as soon as possible. "I had formed many plans of how I was to pacify the cashier at the desk, but the wretch had more human nature in him than I imagined. "While walking down the saloon I turned to C'lorinda and suggested that she had better go out antl get into the carriage while I was settling the bill ami buying some cigars, which I want d to take with me. - To this she made i.o objection,, as luck would have it. "I walked on till J came in front of. he smiling individual who was wait ng for payment, and with as bold an ir of innocence as I could assume 1. old him I had forgotten my pocket Kxk in the hurry of getting ready for he theater, but I would call next day .nd settle the MIL 4 " 'Too thin a story to pass here, sir. he ejaculated. 'We do a strictly cash business. " I don't want to be bullied about such a trifle,' I continned, but the man had completely changed into a hog by this time, and coming out from his place In-hind the desk, he looked wick ed enough to choke me then and there. "J will call a policeman and have you arrested.' he said, iu a menacing tone, loud enough to Its heard by all n.MN'ra ti "BE IS A FBEEMAH WHOM THE TRUTH EBENSBURG, PA., FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER II. IS91. the ieople in tlte saloon. ".My hlitod boiled at the insulting manner of the man. and I lost all con trol over my actions. "tiet out of my way and let me pass, you red-headed scoundrel! I said as I made a dash for the door. "A general scuffle ensued, and I be lieve 1 was giving him a lew well aimed blows, when, to my horror, a policeman rushed in anil collared me a roughly as If I had been a madman. " "What's this all aloutr he. de manded of the clerk, who was blind with rage. 'Arrest that man and take him to the station-housu, and I will go down and make a charge against him. 'lint let me explain, I cried, in a load tone. Kxplanations at the station-house, saitl the officer, as he dragged me into the street, where a crowd of idlers had already gathered to see the fun. "As I reached the sidewalk I saw the carriage drive off at a rapid rate. I learned afterward that ('lorinda le Vamf alarmed for her own safety, anil promised tliu driver a ltlteral reward if ho would drive to her father's house. This made matters worse, for it looked as if she was an accomplice of mine, and fled for fear of arrest. "Imagine the state of my feelings as 1 was marshaled through the streets, with five hundred urchins yelling all around me! Wheu we reached the po lice station the usaal preliminaries were gone through. The restaurant kccH-r appeared, aad mule a charge agaiust me of 'swindling and deliberate assault without provocation. "I told my story, but of course it went for nothing, as the policeman gave his evidence in affirmative of the charges. Of course I was walked off to a cell to pass the night in thinking over my troubles. ln the morning, after being escort ed 1h-fore a police justice, I was tried and fined fen dollars. I telegraphed to a friend downtown, who soon camo to my assistance antl paid the Hue. I went home to my boarding house, and, as luck would have it, the people in the house were ignorant of my adventures luring the night. I suppose they thought I hail ticen on a spree, but they said nothing, and I did not en lighten them. "That evening I made np my mind to call upon my dear Clorinda and her parents, for the purpose of explaining my conduct. All through the tlay I had been framing excuses, which were, for the most part, lies and equivoca tions. When I reached the door my heart beat so ktrougly that I felt my courage giving way, and I stood on the stoop for several minutes lefore I could summon sufficient courage to ring the bell. "Wheu tne girl came to the door I nsked if Miss Swan was at home. She said 'yes, and politely asked me to take a scat in the parlor.' "In a few moments the servant reap peared, earing a card with the compli ments of her mistress. 1 glanced at -the card, and on it was written, in a clear, delicate hand: 'Have you it"l mbtierx on? Have you the money to pay for your eupper? If not I w;ll" lend you the neces.ary amount. C. S.' "I made, a dash for the dixir, and was soon in the street, fearing lest the father should appear ami kick me out of the house. "And now, my tlear loy, do you wonder that I am still a bachelor! My advice to yon is beware of sailing under false colors. I). J. Finlav, in Y. Weekly. ' COTTAGE NAMES. The Cnrlou NomwirUtnw That I'reTail at the Noted .Maine Iteanrr.

They are the first that have ever been exhibited there alive. The alligator is so distinct ly an American animal that the proof, so recently as 1S7J, of the species in China is extremely interesting. Nevertheless, the Chinese classics con tain numerous references to the crea ture ami evun pictures which could be easily recognized as being a crocodile of some sort. "It is to be hoped that tike specimens at the Zoo will bear out the notion of the extreme longevity of the reptile. Its name is apparently used in certain parts of China in the same sense as Methusalch in this coun try. Marco l'olo wrote about this ani mal and recommended its gall as an ex cellent remedy for the bite of a mad dog and for various other complaints, so that it seems to hare been the medieval equivalent of some of our much advertised remedies of the pres ent day. Curiously enough, the beast is even now made use of in Chinese medicine." A lteadly riant. The kali mujah, or death plant, of Java, has flowers- which continually give off a perfume so powerful as to overcome, if inhaled for any length of time, a full-grown man, and which kills all forms of insect life that come under itt influence. MAKES FREE AKD ALL AVE SLAVES BESIDE. Freadatmlte Hablta That Prevail In Raat rrn Karon, and Mexico. A gentleman who knows eastern Europe well sends me. says Labouchere in London Truth, a highly interesting account of w hat he has seen in that part, with a view of showing that a great deal too much indignation has lieen caused by Mr. Calderon's sup posed insult to St, Elizaleth. My cor respondent's view is that a few articles of clothing more or less are of no con sequence in the eyes of female modesty in that part of the worlil, and that the same preailamite sentiment might have prevailed in medieval Hungary: A few years ago, as in a carriage with post horses I approached the river l.nzco, I saw a handsome open carriage coming from the town of the same name, which stands about a half mile from the stream. On the box seat were a coachman and a footman in smart liveries. In the carriage was a young lady. When she arrived at the stream she. standing in the carriage, undre-ssed herself and walked, naked, into the water. I, with my servant and two postillions, passed through the ford there was no bridge then within twenty yard.-- of her. There was no surprise. She must have seen my car riage, as I saw hers for fifteen or twenty minutes before we met. "Again in the river I rimbovitJ-a, which runs through ltucharest. any hot sum mer evening, dozens of women and girls might in thoe days ami prwbably may now be seen bathing without aay gar ments. "To come t later times: On Septem ber IS. 1H78. I crossed the Hanule from (liurgevo to Rutschuk in a rowltoat. As we skirted the banks on the Roumanian shore we passed close to nuniliem of young girls bathing. I could tell many other incidents, but I think I have said enough to show that our standard of propriety dial not obtain so late as ISTs; nor did it probably at a much earlier date in the adjoining country. Even now Hungarians are not prudish." I can well conceive that all this oc curred in the east, for in the west the same preadamite habits used to prevail thirty years ago. I rrrawn Wr then passing some weeks in a town situated iu Mexico. All the inhabitants used tit go down to a river every even ing to bathe, just as people here go to the park for a drive. And everyone bathed men, women and children to gether, without a vestiife of clothing. It struck mo as peculiar at first, but after a few days I became so accustomed to it that I regarded it as the most ordi nary of customs, antl frequently dis ported myself in the water with tho mayor, the authorities, and their wives And children. " THE BERMUDA ONION. What Hilly" Florenee Kara a a to the VI r. t ana of That Vegetable. TV. J. Florence was chatting about provisions for fishing camps just le fore he sailed for Europe, when he said to a New York lress man: "The second year that I went to tho Iiestigonche I undertook to provision tho camp, tho party to go witn me numnenng eight or ten persons. They kept coming around every day for a week t inspect my list of articles ordered, and there wasn't one of them that did not find fault with something I ordered or failed to order, until I was very tired of my job. There were five of them present one day when I wrote down on the list of things ordered a barrel of llermuda onions. The howl that went up was the biggest kick that I had experienced. I sat back iu my chair and told those fellows that onions were my special feed anil that this was my own pur chase. IV you know what happened in camp? Why, those fellows grew so fond f Uenanda onions that I only got five onions for myself out of that barrelful. "I have tried all kinds of waters, and salts, and specifies, and remedies for indigestion and general derangoment of the stomach." continued Mr. Flor ence, "and the more 1 have tried the more certain I have become that if you get your liver in order by the use of such things your spleen or kidneys go back on you, and vice versa. Hut the man who will take two weeks every summer In the country and eat a I?er muda onion at every meal, and take one for a nightcap In-sides, will le as sound as a dollar when ho gets back to his work."

A long line of custom ers, too vast to count, came, each with his check in hand, to the wicket for his cash. I stood and watched the scene for hours, till it came my own turn to place my check under Father Time's gray and ancient scrutiny. A well-dressed man, with confident air, with a hard, resolute face and yet lips bitten as if with pain, threw in his check. "Your account is overdrawn," said Time. "I told your friend so yesterday who presented a check of yours." "What? That's why I came myself. Overdrawn! Jl should have twenty years here yet to draw on!" exclaimed the excited gentleman, growing pale wjth every word. "How old do you reckon yourself?" asked Cashier Time. "Why, only fifty-five. And three-score-years-and-ten is the deposit to be gin with." See," said Time, thrusting a great book under the poor man's eyes. "In 1S54 you, being then nineteen years of ago, drew three years in one. The next year, and the next, and the next you drew three years in one. Y'ou squandered them in dissipation. Y'ou drank them up. As Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen, dissolved pearls in a glass of wme and drank the costliest banquet cup that opulent vanity had ever seen, so you drank up the years between nineteen and twenty-three. Y'ou threw away days and nights as a king in old times threw coin to the rabble. When by the calendar you were aged twenty-five by my strict and accurate look.s you were thirty-five, and Is. ginning to grow old." Very well," le;can the trembling figure in reply, V.ut I reorganbed after that. Ten years lost, I thea re formed." "True. liut in 1S74 yon drew days and nfonths very fast again. For the sake of being rich you squandered strength like a spendthrift. Y'ou crowded three weeks into one for a long while. In ten years you lived out twenty; did the work of twenty, tho worry, the fighting, the litigation, the travel, the greedy sins of twenty years. Y'ou have gotten j-our wealth. You have gained tho whole world and lost your life. Whether you have lost your soul or not is not for me to say. God knows that. This bank docs no busi ness in eternity. The account is over drawn sir. Step aside, old man of lifty five. customers are waiting." And while I looked the servants of the brink came in Death. Dust and Forget fulness and carried him out. Then came a haergard wretch whose name indorsed upon the back of a check read, "A. Suicide," He faltered on: '"I suppose this chock is worthless. There is not another day for inc." "On the contrary, there arc yet forty years, that you can draw against; hap py, useful years, spent for man's good and (Jod's praise." I doubt it- There must be some mistake." 'Not so. What shall I do with these years if you will not take them? No other man can use them; yet thousands would be glnd of them, lcgging so piti fully. And there are so many thou sands of unclaimed years, filled up within my vaults! They shall le added to eternity again when I, Old Time, go out of business. Y'et eternity is no richer for them. Take your years and be happy in them as God intended." Rnt the 'foolish heart declined; and I saw the three servants come in and carry him out as they had Old Avarice before. Then I saw tremendous checks paid out to Malice, Revenge, Jealousy, Evil Imaginations Had Thoughts, Dis content. Old Time could not help (-peaking his warning, and though it was none of his business, he said: "Gentlemen, nothing draws such heavy drafts on a man's deposits of years of health and strength as un wholesome thoughts. They are more expensive than -unwholesome deeds if possible. "Look out that you do not overdraw your accounts." Then I saw a young man at the win dow. Time asked: "How will you have it, sir? In large bills or small?" 'InTarge, if you please. Let me live a year in a day. A year of pleasure crowded into one wild day! The good things of forty must be had and used up at twenty. I cannot wait." And Old Time smiled with a sardonic curl of the lip as he observed how the young fool was making the same mis take that the old fool a few steps be fore had Made. Hut the check was cashed in the big bills. I saw, too, as I stood there, how men overdrew their accounts of Good Rep utation. A man may. it seems, build up a reputation by long and faithful years which will withstand a good many blunders; he may check against it with careful words and thoughtless deeds for some time before that stored good reputation is wasted. On the whole, the b etter part of the community weald rather believe good of one, of their foremost fellow-citizens than evil; it is not pleasant to hear a scan dal aired liefore the faces of their chil dren; not pleasant to see an old friend fall: and many people are so related so cially and commercially with this man of a leading position that his ruin would postage per year In advance. NUMBER 35. inilict a loss 01 them. lb-nee they keep his account good at the bunk over which Time presides: they do it by excuses, lending (heir countenance to blundering spendthrift nd hope f-r a change. Rut at last he who blunders !eyond a certain point, who will not learn wisdom, is alwtndoned by his friends. Old Time, the cashier, then meets him at the window with a sharp refusaL "Your account is overdrawn, sir. Y'ou are bankrupt. Man will no longer ex cuse you, nor will they trust you. You are written down a fnd." And 1 observed that three strange servants came in to carry him out namely. Hunger,-, Contempt and Des pair. I saw, too, how men and women of brilliant gifts overdrew their accounts. The young actor, who bade fair to stand at the head of his profession lo fore he was flvc-and-thirty,couiited too highly upon the patience of an admir ing public, and supposed they would overlook his drunkenness and carou sals indefinitely. So the jv-opl j did for a time. Rut w hen he hailisa-ppointed them night after night, when lie neg lected his study and relied on his "gen ius" and an occasional "spurt" of splendid work to make up. he passed the point of endurance. Time at his window dishonored his draft. The peo ple spat him out. There were younger, cleaner, more conscientious men to be had. He was ruined. So was ruined the great songstress who supposed the world could not get aliing without her voice. It was in deed a wonderful voice. Rut she over draw her account; she flagrantly violated the proprieties of life; she un dermined society by her example. The world turned to find a new voice, God is ever raising up new workmen with gifts as grand as the old. If rt so grand the Ietter sense of the world resolves to prefer and adopt the new instead of the old which has become unclean. And so I look on women who cotmted too much on their loauty, anil ability to charm, neglecting to le true: on youth who reckoned t. highly their standing in the community as children of "old families"' or on education, out ward culture, or technical skilL "We can do a great many things that other people could not; and we sliall Ik? tolerated." Quite possible, up to a certain point. Clerks and master workmen there were who were "sure their services could never be dispensed with, for who could Iks found who would take their places?" Rut there is always the risk of an overdrawn ac count soon; the surety of it ut last. I then took my place at the window with prayerful ciire. Heaven grant me to watch well my 1oks, that the ac count be not overdrawn, neither in this world nor the next. Harkley Harker, in N. Y. Weekly. WHO ARE THE HAPPIEST? Aet-ortlliiq: to Oie Au.

Rut we can say something similar of every jvrwiii who has a pursuit suited to his talents and circumstances. The happy people are they who have an occupation which they love, apart from any advantage it luay bring them, one that they can pursue with generous ardor. It is the element of disinterestedness that cheers their lives, whether they are engaged in ordinary or extraordinary vocations; and this is the reason why earnest stu dents have such a keen enjoyment of existence, Chicago Herald. The IleKtrars of I 'aria. A clever Frenchman has just leen taking the statistics ef the charities of Paris, which are immense in volume, and he finds that three-fourths of the colossal sum which they represent is absorbed by professional beggars. He gives a very amusing account of the de vices which they adopt for getting this enormous sum, and for living in idleness upon it. and his conclusion is that the whole system of almsgiving must be re formed,. If something is not done soon he thinks that the des -ving pxir will le entirely crowded out by the fakirs.

A bald-headed, fussy-looking man, with a pair of sjH-ctacles i.n his nose and his hat on the seat ln-side him, kept rub bing bis pate in a nervous way and itching about on the sent as if afraid of tricks. Opposite him sat a man who was closely watching his movements ami chuckling and grinning until the attention of a dozen people was at tracted. He was finally asked to ex plain, and he said: "The old chap over there sat down eei my hat. stcpied 011 my toes and el lxiwcd my ribs and didn't apolo gize. I determined to get even with him. He alvcnys sits in that scat if it Usii't occupied, nnd be always hunts 1 round to find a paper instead of buying me. I'm getting even with him this morning." "Rut how?" "That pajiT Is just three years old to-day. It cast me riftv cents to pro cure it, but I've had fifty dollars" worth of revenge. I left it on the scat, and he's lx-en reading it for the last twenty miles. See?" The old fellow struck the head lines of a railroad accident, looked puzzle-d, bobled up and down and slow ly shook his head. He juncd from that to a murder on to news from Washington and for a minute was in terested in ttiV'stisJ". mloT.et. Then he folded the paper up, removed his glass es, and looked out of the w indow with a troubled expression ou his fae-e. 'lie's wondering if his mind isn't giving way, and is half scared to death, chuckled the joker. "Reeu UatteriTig himself that he is good for twenty years yet. and the first thing he docs when he gets to the city will 1k to biry some brain fod and a liver pad. I'm not a bad, bad man, but the chap who sits down on my hat must at least apolo gize." "ON TIME." An Dncli.hmnn'i Uxperienre on an Amer ican Uuilroad. It is a . matter of pride with railroad companies to run their truins ou time, or to come ::s near to punctuality us possible. This well-known fact no doubt explains an incident which an English traveler relates in connection with a journey which he took across the American continent. It was on one of the great transcontinental lines which had made special promises as to punc tuality. On the journey, the English traveler seemed to notice u marked disregard for the time-table, but he was inter ested in the country, and made no e'oui plaint. At last the Pacific terminus was reached. There he met a beaming olli cial of the company, who, pulling his own watch out. said: ".hist look and see what time you've got, will you. please'.'" "It wa.it:, ten minutes of one," said the Englishman, si little puzzled. "Yes. sir; twclve-lifty. exactly! And that's the time she's sche'duled to ar rive! Hows tiiat for promptness? Crossing the continent, almost tliree thousand miles, and getting here at twclve'-fifty o'clock, precisely as adver tised.' r,"I can't deny that, you know," said the Englishman. "It's ve'ry fine, no doubt: but look hero how many days were you late'." oh, a matter of two r three, jter ha5s: but we struck the eou-t nt twelve fifty!" CITY OF THE UNKNOWN. Artco MelrrKlls Ulili li Indians Sar 'o White .Mail liver H.-.-U. ""During the frequent visits I have made to Mexico." said a mining en gineer of Philadelphia to an Inquirer reporter. "I have conic in contact with many of the Indians resident there and have heard some very singular stories. -One, which fall the IndiaiiS unite in tell ing, is that fe.r in the interior exists an enormous e-ity. never yet visited be white men. It is descriln-d as oopcd by a race similar to the ancient Aztecs, who are sun w0r.shi5.crs and offer .human sacrifices to their deity. 'The nir is said t . lc in a high state- , of civilization, and the Indians say that the city is full of huge structures whi. h ' are miracles of quaii.t but l-aiitiful architecture, and arc bit aated 011 broad, paved streets far surpassing those oi the City of Mexico. "One Indian. I recollect, assured me that he had seen the e-ity and its inhal itants with his own eyes, but had beer afraid of ls ing captured and had fled. Of course, I did not In-lieve him, but, all the same, it is not a little strange that . tle ae-counts of the Mexican Indians relative to the mysterious and magnifi cent interior city agree perfectly." On KelilKtiue, Selfishness, not money, is the roo.t of all eviL says Texas Sif lings. All tho great schemes for the improvement of mankind fail from ignoring the natural selfishness f all mankind. Th( theo ries of the nationalists sound beautiful and their arguments are convincing un til you take into consideration the hu manity of man, and bis humanity is sel fishness, leith socialists and commun ists lose, sight of this, and of anarchy selfishness is the keystone. The suc cessful man, the man who piles up his thousands long after he acquired more than he e-ati possibly enjoy, is but giv ing play to his selfish instincts to kep from t lie less fortunate all he can and make it his own. The man who ac quires wealth may not lae more selfish than other men, but lie has with his. selfishness the faculty of gratifying it to a greater extent than others. Turn whatever way be will, the theorist is confronted by the insurmountable wall of individual selfishness, and until the nature of man is changed his hopes must fail.
