TMK RKC.dAK. \ A TRUK TALE. One cold winter morning, the last Sun* day of December, 1849, a half-naked man knocked timidly at tire basement door of a line, substantial mansion in the city of Brooklyn. Though the weather was bit ter even for that season, the young mau had no clothing but a ragged pair of cloth pants, and the remains of a flannel shirt which exposed his muscular chest in many large routs. But in spite of bis tattered apparel and evident fatigue, as he leaned heavily upon the railing of the basement stairs, a critical observer could not fail to notice a conscious air of digni ty”, and the marked traces of cultivation and refinement in ins pale haggard coun tenance. The door was speedily opened, and die-’ closed a large, comfortably furnished room with its glowing gate of anthracite; before which was placed a luxuriously furnished breakfast table. A fashiona bly attired young man, in a brocade dressing gown and velvet slippers, was reclining on a soft fautenil, busily read ing the morning papers. The beautiful young wife'had lingered at the table, giv ing her orders for the household matter of the day, when the timid rap at the door attracted her attention. She com manded it to be opened, but the young ‘master of the mansion replied thatit was • quite useless-being no one but some thievish beggar; but the door was alreody opened, and the sympathies of Mrs. May wood enlisted at once. “ Come in to the Are,” cried the young wife, impulsively “ before you perish !” The medlcant, without exhibiting any surprise at such unusual treatment of a street beggar, slowly entered the room, manifesting a painful weakness at every step. On his entrance, Dr. Maywobd, with a displeased air, gathered up his pa pers and left the apartment. The com passionate lady unwisely placed the half frozen mau near the fire, while she pre pared a bowl of fragrant coffee—which with abundant food was placed before him. But noticing the abrupt departure of her husband, Mrs. Maywood, with a clouded countenance, left the room, whis pering to the servant to remain until the stranger should leave. She run hastily up the richly mounted staircase, and paused before the entrance of a small labmtory and medical library, and occupied soley by her husband, who was a physician and practical chemist.—, She opened the door and entered the room. Dr. Maywood was sitting at a •small table, with his head resting on his hand, apparently in deep thought. “ Edward,” said the young wife gently touching his arm, “I fear I have dis pleased you, but the mail looked so wretched, I could not bear to drive him awuv," and her sweet voice trembled as he added —“You know I take sacrament to-day.” ‘ Dear Mary,’ replied the fond husband “ I appreciate your motives. I know it is pure goodness of heart which leads you to disobey me, but still I must command —that no beggar shall ever be permitted to enter the house. It is for your own safety that I insist upon it. How deeply you might be imposed upon in wy fre quent absence from home. I shudder to think.” The mull that is below may be but a burglar in disguise, and already in your absence taking'impi-esaions in wax of the different keyholes in the room so ns to enter some night at ids leisure. Your limited experience of city life 'makes it difficult ior you tooredltso ranch deprav ity. It is no charity togivc to street beg gars, it only encourages vice, dearest.” “It may, be so,” responded Mrs. May wood, “ but it seems wicked not to relieve suffering and want even if tbo persons have behaved badly—and we know it.— But I promise you not to ask another beg gar into the bouse.” At this moment the servant rapped vi olently at the door, crying out that the beggar was dying. “ Home, Edward; your skill can save him, I know,” said bis wife, hastening from the room. The doctor did not refuse this appeal to his professional vanity for lie immediate ly followed ids wife’s flying footsteps as she descended to the basement. They found the inedicant lying pale and un conscious upon the carpet, where he had slipped from weakness from the chair, where Mi's. Maywood had seated him. “ He is a handsome fellow,” muttered tlie doctor as be hunt over him to ascer tain the suite of ids pulse. And well ho might say so. The glossy locks of raven hair had fallen away from a hrogd white forehead; his'closed eye- JiUa wore bordered by long raven,lushes, wldgU- lay film a silken fringe upon hie pale bronzed cheeks, while a delicate nose, aud-u square, massive chin display ed a model of manly beauty. “Is ho dead?” asked the youug wife enviously. “Oii.no! it is only a fainting lit, in duced by tlio sudden change of tempera ture, uud perhaps the first stage of star vation,” replied tli® doctor, aympathiz ingly. Ho had forgottun forthpnpimput his cold maxims of prudence, and ad dot), “ ho must be carried-to a room without fire, and placed in a comfortahie.hed,”_ The coachman was called in to qssist in lifting the athletic stranger, who was carried to a bed in the chaii>her, where tlie doctor administered witli his' own -hands strong doses.of port wluesanga ree. The young man soon become part CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1867, ly conscious, but nil conversation was forbade him, and ho sank quietly asleep. • “He is doing well; let him rest ns long ns he can; should he awake in our ab sence, give him beef, tea and toast arfli bitum, u said the doctor, professionally, as ho left the i;oom. 11l less than an hour afterwards, Dr.: Maywood and hia lovely wife entered the gorgeous church of “ the most Holy Trin ity.” And the hundrada of fair dames that entered its broad portals, dressed with all the taste and magnillcence that abun dant wealth could procure; not one ri valed, in grace and beauty, the orphan bride of the rich physician. Her lull, graceful figure was robed in a violctsilk, that only heightened .by contrast her large azure eyes, bright with the lustre of youthful happiness; yet, there was a touch of tender pity in their dropping lids that won the confidence of every be holder. The snowy carmine mantilla which protected -her fiom the piercing wind, rivaled, but could not surpass the delicate purity of her complexion. Many admiring eyes followed the faultless fig ure of Mrs. May wood, ns she moved with unconscious grace up the aisle of the Church, but none with more heartfelt de votion than the young, wayward, but generous man who had<rccently wedded her in spite of her poverty and the sneers of his aristocratic acquaintances. The stately organ had pealed its last rich notes, which were still faintly echo ing in the arches when asfcrangerof ven erable aspect who had previously taken part in tlie services of the altar, rose and announced for his text, the oft quoted, but seldom applied words of the Apostle —“ He not forgetful to entertain stran gers', for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Dr. Maywood felt his forehead flushed painfully; it appeared to him for the moment that the preacher must have known of his want for charity toward strangers, and wished to give him a public lesson; but he soon saw from the tenor of his discourse that his own guil ty conscience had alone made the appli cation in his particular ease. I have not space, nor indeed the pow er to give any synopsis of the sermon; but that It, combined with the incident of the morning, effected a revolution in the mind of at least one of its hearers.— So much so that on the return of Dr. Maywood fiom church he repaired at once to the room of the medicant to offer such attentions as he mightstand in need Of. But the young man 'seemed to ho much refreshed by rest and nutritious food, and commenced gratefully, thank ing iiis host for the kimiattention-he had received, which without doubt saved Ida life. “I will recompense you well, for thank God, I am not the bogger that I seem. I was shipwrecked on Friday night in the Ocean Wave, on my return fro.m India. My name was doubtless among the list of the lost—for I escaped from tho waves by a miracle. I attempt ed to make my way to New York, where I have ample fundsin bank Awaiting my orders, but I must have perished from cold and hunger had it not been for you and your wife’s provident charity. I was repulsed from every door as an imposter, and could get neither food nor rest. To be an exile from ones' native laud leu years and then, after escaping from the perils of the ocean, to die of hunger In the streets of a Christian city, I felt truly a bitter fate.” “My name is Arthur Willet," added the stranger. “ Why, that is my wife’s family name. She will be doubly pleased at her agency in your recovery." “ Of what State is she a native?" ask ed Arthur Willet, eagerly. “ I married her in the town of 1) , where she was born." At this moment Mrs. Maywood entered the room surpris ed at the long absence of her husband. Arthur Willet gazed at her with a look of the wildest surprise, murmuring: “It cannot be—it cannot be. I urn de lerious to think so." Mrs. Maywood gazed with little less astonishment, motionless as a statue. “ What painful mystery is this?" cried Dr. Maywood, excitedly, addressing ins wife, who then became conscious of tho singularity of her conduct. “ Oh no mystery,” she replied, sighing deeply, “only this stranger is the imago of my long lost brother Arthur.” Ami Mrs Maywood overcome with emotion, turned to leave the room. " Stay one moment,” pleaded tho stran ger, drawing a small ring from his linger, and holding it up, asked if she resogiiizcd that relic? “ It la ray father’s gray hair , and you are ” ' “ His son Arthur Willet and your brother.” Mary Willet Maywood fell upon-the medicant’a breast, weeping tears of tho sweetest joy and thanksgiving. Dr. Maywood retired and left sister and brother alone in that sacred hour of re union, saying to himself. “ Be not forgetful to entertain stran gers, for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.” NIGHT SUEXE IWA BOAUM.VO lIOVSE A lady, whose husband isiu California, Calcutta, or Chicago, suddenly awakened from her sleep the other morning, about two o’clock, and springing from her bed, dashed out of her room cn dishabille, screaming at tho top of her voice, “ Mur der! Help! Murder; Man in ray room, etc., etc. Under tho circumstances this was qtfite natural, inasmuch as more than one mistake of this kind had hap pened in the house recently. Now it ap pears that no less than three husbands were absent when they should have been there, and consequently there-was more or less wonder, mixed up with a species of apprehension on the part of the three wives, each one wondering whether it was her husband who had thus forgotten himself or the room. ♦ Oh, come up quickly,’ shouted the ter rified female, bolding on to the outside doorknob. ‘ I’vo got him in.’ ♦ If it’s my Josey,’ said another discon solate, ‘ I’ll learn him better. Confound these night suppers, now he’s been atone of them and has mistaken the room, and there I’ve been alone nil night.’ ♦ Has he got whiskers?’ anxiously unit ed the wife, upon reaching the lauding on the upper floor. ‘Yes, ma’am, great big bushy whisk ers, laying right along side of my oheek when I awoke. Dear me, if my Alexan der was hero, he’d leuru him better, I’ll warrant you.’ ‘Joseph I Joseph! Josey !’ shouted tho wife at the door. No answer came; not even a grunt, in cident to inebriation. t be he has jumped outof the win dow ’ suggested the four or five females, all at once, who made a splendid group of long white drapery. ‘Here—help! bring a light,’ shouted several of the females. . Presently a light was brought and sev eral of the male boarders appeared, all armed to give the thief or robber such, treatment as. he had justly earned lor himself.- The door was opened and in rushed the valiant squad, sure enough the feilow was still in bed, with the top of his head just peeping above the sheet. ‘Como out of here, you scoundrel!’ , said one of .the men, at the same time grasping him by tho hair. The tableau was strikingly interesting ai)d graphic. Tho resolute hoarder fell from the im petus he hud given himself, for instead of jerking, out a man, it was nothing more than a* waterfall’,which the lovely occupant of the bed had forgotten to take off when she retired for the night. It had been detached in her sleep, and graz ing hercheek awakened her. Thoalann, of course, was quite natural. Tho board ers bqd.H hearty laugh, ami all retired to happy Ureaips, jjgyA school boy who was studying geo graphy, was asked by Ida teacher, 14 wheth er in going from the Baltic Sea to Portu gal he would pass through any straits? 44 Why, yes, sir, I should go as straight os I OQUId.” [Tram (he BiUxbuly licpublicon. TUc KKorac—lifts Memory nml Sagacity. An aged and venerable friend, residing In one of the cities on our Eastern sea boacl, a-gontleman of character ami worth, once related to us the following anecdote of tho horse, illustrating In a remarkable maimer tho sagacity and memory of this, animal: “ At the close of the Revolutionary war, when every thing was unsettled and in disorder, an acquaintance, residing on the Boston road, some thirty or forty miles from New York, lost a valuable young horse, stolen from his stable in the night Great search and inquiry were made for him, but no tidings of him could be heard, and no trace of him could ever bo discovered. “ Almost six full years had now elapsed and'tho recollection even of tho lost ani- mal had nearly faded from his mind. At this period a gentleman from the East, in the course of. business, was traveling on horseback on this road, on his way to Philadelphia. When within four or live miles of a village on the road, tho traveller wus overtaken by a respectable looking gentleman on horseback, a resident of the village, returning home from a short bu siness ride. Ridding along side by side they soon engaged iu a pleasant desultory conversation. Tho gentleman, was im mediately struck with the appeaarncc of the traveller’s iiorse. And every glance of tho eye cost toward him seemed to ex cite an interest and curiosity to look at him, and to revive a recollection of some thing he had seen before, and soon tstib lisbed in his mind the impression Unit rail the world ho looked like the horse he had lost some six years ago. This soon became so irresistibly fixed in his mind that lie remarked to the traveller: “ You have a line horse, sir.” ■ “Yes,” he replied, “un exceedingly valuable and excellent animal.” “ What is his age, sir ?” “ Well, I suppose him to be about ten or eleven years old.” _ “ You did not raise him, then.” ” No; I purchased him of a stranger, a traveller, nearly six years since.” “ Do you reside in this part of the coun try?” “ No, I reside in the Bay State, and am on my way to Philadelphia, on business. How fur Is it to New York ?” “ Well, sir, I really regret to interrupt you, or put you.to inconvenience, but I am constrained, to say I believe yon have in your possession a horse that X must claim.” The traveller looked with surprise and amazement, and replied : “ What do yon mean, sir?” “ I believe tho horse you are on, in uth belongs to me.' Five years ago, the past autumn, a valuable young horse was stolen from my stable. Great search was made for him, but no tidings of him ever came to hand. In color, appearance ami movements, it seems to me lie was the o‘xact counterpart of the horse you are on. It would he hardly possible, 1 think, for two to be so near alike. But my horse wasan uncommonly intelligent, and sagacious animal. .And I will make a proposition to you that will place the matter in such a position that the result will be conclusive and satisfactory, I think, to both of us. We are now within a mile of my residence, which is on the road in the centre of 'he village before us. When we arrive at my house, your horse shall be tied to the east post in front of my door—the horse I am on to the west post. After standing a short time, the oridle of your horse shall bo taken oil’, and'if he does not go to a pair of bars'on the west side of the house, and pass over, go aroud to the east side of the barn, ami puli out a pin, and open the middlestable door and enter, I will not claim him. If he does, it will furnish you conclusive evidence that ho was bred by me, but never sold ; that he was stolen from me at the conclusion of the war, about, the very time you say you purchased him." “ The traveler assented to the trial. The horse was hitched to the post as proposed ; stood a few minutes; the bridle was then taken oil’; he raised his head, pricked up his ears, looked up the street, then down the street several times, then deliberately ami slowly walked past tho house and over the burs and to tho stable door, as described, and with teeth and lips drew out the pin and opened the door, ami en tered into his own stall. We hardly need to add he was recognized by his neigh bors, who fully attested the facts stated by the claimant, and that the traveller lost his title to tho horse. HE WOULDN’T GO IX, The Cincinnati JUnquircv tolls the fol lowing story: Some time since a newly wedded couple from the interior of the State ar rived at the Burnett House, and took apartments for the night at that well ordered hotel. It was quite evident that Cho whole party were not familiar with metropolis sights. The rooms, corridors, marble floors and gorgeous drawing-room ami well spread table of the hotel drew from them the most ingenuous, remarks of surprise. In the evening they visited the opera house, and were so astonished at its magnificence, that even Mrs. Wal let’s wonderful impersonation of ‘Meg Merille’a almost failed to interest them. Nothing was thought of the verdant pair till about one o’clock in the morning, at which time the boot-black of the Burnett House in making hisemtomary rounds, observed the Benedict seated in the hall near the door of* hfs-room. He naively asked the polisher of his understandings if lie was the clerk. ■ Receiving a nega tive answer, he informed the boot-black that be should like to see that individ ual. In a few moments the attentive of fice man was at his side, and politely asked what was wanting. ‘Couldn’tyou make mb abed in the parlor?' cried thedisconsohUe individual. *ln the parlor!’ echoed the clerk, ‘ I’m afraid not./ 4 Well, I’d like to have one spread down somewhere.’ ‘ Why don’t you go into your own room?’asked the clerk. ‘ 1 don’tlike to,’ said the bashful young man* ‘Why, what’s the matter!’ continued the clerk. ‘Hus your wife turned you out of the room ?’ * No,’ says he, drawling, ‘ but you seo I haven’t never been married before, and so I don’t much like to go In, particularly In a strange place.’ * Oh! go right in,’ said the clerk, won’t think it wrong.’ Here the door of the room opened about an inch, and through the aperture came a voice? couxingly saying— ‘Become in, John, I won’t hurt you, I kuowed they’d think strange of yer standing out there. Come in now, won’t yer. I’ve blowed out the.gas, and it’s dark in here.’ The odor of the room assured the clerk that she had indeed * blowed out the gas*’ eo pushing open the door, he stopped the flow, raised, the window, and returned to the hall to persuade the verdant hus band to retire with his wife. All argu ments were fruitless, however, and he was compelled to assign the simple indi vidual a separate room. As an original expression of heavy grief, we doubt if any more touching has been read than the following, of a crush ed heart in. Star City, Nevada. Mrs.— of that place, an eccentric old lady, re cently rushed Into the room of a relative, and without waiting for the usual salutu unions, said : “ Well, John’s dead !” (Her husbaud.) 44 Dead ! Is it possible?” 44 Yes; dead! Died last night! want you all to come to the funeral. The Ma sons aud Odd Fellows are going to turn out, and we shall have a beautiful time.” Deaths being of rare occurrence in the settlement, of course everybody went to the funeral. Next day somebody re marked to the old lady that there was a large turnout. ’ 4 * Yes, indeed there wasshe replied, 44 but I didn’t enjoy myself as well as I have at some funerals, the horses cut up so.” COUKY O I.AXtS' Ia’IHTI.K Polltlcnl—Tlic Rlnc Convention—CTorr.r Mill l.i (lav Field—Ml« Vlen» or the Hllimllon— The Rlncr Tariff—Wlml n Nomination fo»l* —C’orry*** I'leilcra and lain l*introrna.

Politics is a business that requires a good deal of capital, but ihese rates are altogether 100 high. It is owing to a few men having a mo nopoly of the nominating business. Which is not Democratic.

As my expenses have been light, I shall be’the most profitable man lor the tax-payers. My disbursements hay© been confined to necessary expenses, and I am not pledged to any great extern.

ThemlMocles is to have a newovercoat and Eliza Jane a pair of bools. And i shall probably buy a new hat for myself. But all these wouldn't cost as much ns one delegate to the City Convention. Economy is my forte. , If I am elected I will bring the city back to tho glorious condition of. four years ago when the city wasn’t put to tlio expense of cleaning the streets. Or emptying the ash barrels. Or lighting tiie street lamps. Or paying the legitimate debts of the city. All of which extravagance was left to the Republican Mayors, under whose ad ministration the expenses of the city government have been largely increased by indulgence in such foolish luxuries as light and cleanliness. The people are no longer to be hum bugged. „ They are wide awake and up to snuir. Ami mean to vote unanimously for Your virtuous correspondent, —Brooklyn Jlogic. We are tempted to tell the story of a Dutchman who made his entry into New Orleans last summer while the chol era was raging there, ami _ was greatly troubled in llndlng a boarding house.— lie inquired of the tirstoue he saw if they hud the cholera in the bouse, and learn ing,that they had, he went to another, aud another, determined not to stop at any house where the disease was doing its .work of death. At lust, after a long and weary search, ho found one where there was no cholera, and he took up his quarters there. The master of the house was a godly man, aud had family wor ship every night. ‘ As all were assembled for that purpose, and the master was oiler ing praver, he groaned with some force and fervor, when the Dutchman started up, and cried out. * O Lord, vot ish ter matter?’ . 4 Nothing,’ said the host; 4 keep still, will you, and behave yourself.’ In a short time he groaned again, and the Dutchman started, witliliis eyes star ing like saucers, and exclaimed, 4 Oh, mine Got! der is something der matter mityou.’ • ‘No there ain’t,’, said the landlord; and then, lu calm his boarder’s apprehen sion, he added, * I’m a Mc'fto.dint, and it is the iiiunlm most of the members of the church to groan during th*-ir devotions, and that is my way.’ , _ „ , Tiiis was enough for the Dutchman, who rushed into the street, asked fora doctor, found one, ami begged him to run to the house bn the corner. ‘ \V hat’s the, matter?' said the doctor; ‘ have they got the cholera ?’ ‘ No, no, but worse; da da got der Met iodi9. and der man will die mit it polore you don’t kit there, If you run quick.’ * she About a month ilgoiiyouni; mini, sales man in 0110 of the leading houses in fa ns, saw a young lady enter, to whom du ring the past .eight or ten days, lie had sold a number of dresses, shawls, gloves, &e, -By her aceent.be surmised that she must be a New York lady. The stranger was very pretty, and naturally the young man was agreeatde and attentive. When she visited the store she always addressed herself to him, and while examining the articles lie placed before her, talked much. The day wo speak of she was far less communicative than usual, and after having made a somewhat hurried selec tion she said to the clerk : ' “ I shall be at the hotel in ond hour; here is the address. Bo kind enough to accompany the porter when lie brings those articles.” With these words she bowed reserved ly, mid hastily left the store. The young man was at a loss what to think. However, an liourlatcr he enter ed the apartment of the American lady, who invited lilin eans }aeon like an ac quaintance of long standing, to lunch with her. Although thinking Ilia cus tomer’s manners somewhat strange, the clerk accepted.' While partaking of tea and cakes, the young lady somewhat ab ruptly addressed her guest, saying : “ Sir, are you brave enough to protect a woman against any insult to which she might bo subjected? Answer me with truth and candor.” Without conceit, I say yes,” answer ed the youug man. “ Very well. You work in order to make money. Is it not so?” “ Certainly." This is what I wish to propose. lam alone, or almost alone, in the world; my fortune or mv actions concern no one but myself; I wished to see the exhibition' and know Paris. But I perceive that there is nothing more dilllcult than for a woman to be in your country without a protector. You please me, and, if you do not object, you shall be my champion. I will repay you for your lost time.” The young man tried to speak, but she immediately resumed: “ I insist on remunerating you ; this is strictly a matter of business; X regard it in thatlight. Accept or decline. Which shall it be ?” “ I accept,” answered the clerk, after a moment’s hesitation. ”I am satisfied,” continued the stran ger, " that you area gentleman, and will not make yourself 'ridiculous by making love and flattering me, for I warn you that the very first compliment you pay me ends our contract. Is it agreed ? “ Madam, I am at your service.” “ From to-morrow.”. “ From this moment! I require only time to write to my employers." And the terms of this extraordinaiy compact were entered into by the latter. The clerk was charming; he proved himself intelligent, attractive, delicate, without ail that small talk men general ly delight to inflict on women. In fact, the American lady was truly delighted with the choice she made. Two weeks ago she handed the amiable clerk a heavy, roll of bills, and they separated, mutual ly blessed with each other. ‘ But It happened that the lady was about to embark lor Hngiand, thence to embark for America, a commissioner hastened towards her ami inquired if she was Miss N. Upon answering in the alllrmative, he placed a small box and a letter in iter hand. The box contained a diamond set, the letter a few words on ly, put so well chosen to express tine af fection that the young lady started, not for louden, but back to paris. It is need less to sav that the letter was from the young clerk, who had taken this method of returning the money forced upon him by the young lady for services rendered (He had not given her his address, think ing the matter was ended.) He was not likely to have returned to his former em ployer. Ultimately she learned he had taken in another houseasilnation far in ferior to one he had occupied. Probably till then sho was undecided as to her course, for when sho heard litis, her mind was made tip. She wrote ; lie came at once. They will be married soon. Rev. Robert Collyer preached a ser mon in Unity Church, on “Our Daily Bread,I*. 1 *. In the course of the sermon he discussed asocial question of general in terest and great importance. .Some ex tracts will show what the question is, and what Mr. Collyer thinks about it. There is another and worse perversion of that which this prayer expresses, in the baleful determination ftf the flower of the youth in the country toward late marriages. When one said lately, in the presence of a frank, outspoken young woman in this city, that the re-on why young men did not marry was that their wives would not-be content to live in a homely way, after they hud been raised in luxury, she replied: “The woman is quite ns willing as the man to do that, and I know of no woman of my acquain tance who would not be content, for the sake of tha man she loved, to east her lot with him and make his in every way her own.” I believe that the young woman spoke the truth. When-I hear a man living in cham bers and constant in his attendance at play and opera, say, “ I dare not marry, because I know no woman who would be content to live as one should live,” I «nv to myself, it may he true, but it looks verv much like old Adam, who ate the apple and then turned and laid the blame on the woman. Ret this be as it will. — Here is the dismal fact staring ns every wherc in the face, anil in no place more painfully than In our own city, that for social, conventional, or still worse rea sons, Hie best youth of the country are held back from* its most sacred duty, as well as its most perfect felicity—falls in to that sad mistake of a long engagement, in which the pain and disappointment, hears hardest'always on the woman, or the young man shuts his eyes and his heart when the spirit walking among the golden lamps whispers to him of some maiden, “This is thy wife,” and says, “ No, not yet, for many a year to come” —and so marries at last, away out in life, when both lives have become set in their own fashion, and their love Is hardly long enough to give them the kindly mutual forbearance toward that which is dissimilar is character and disposition, until they can become ColtKY O’Danus. “ Rolf revoronclnu ami rovcrcncluß each Alike In liulividuuUltca.” Ami so the best days of the best of our youth go by and find “ I dare not*’ wait upon “ I would.” In the mime of all that is sacred. I ask why this is, and get for an answer, “ We cannot afford it.” The.young farmer can afford it on the prairie; the miner op iSu perior: the woodman on the peninsula; the carpenter at ins bench ; the black smith at Ins anvil; the operative at his frame or loom ; the long-shoreman and the sailor. That cluster of men down in Pennsylvania, and those in Yorkshire*, whose young men were with me long years ago, lost nft time and netted no ques tions, because some right instinct told them that they might do worse—worse in any and every way they could look at it; and as I caa remember, as if It were yesterday, how speedily those found the wife and went to housekeeping in.a room or two, as they could manage it, and make the hammer ring with new music, and gradually got their household goods, and the world has never failed them—no, not for a day; hut through dark future and hr-ighl, ami sickness and strength, they have found the deepest experiences of their life, each with the other, for Great Heart and Interpreter go together on thlr pilgrimage, and now they see their children coming up to manhood about them, with the freshness of. their own hearts, and they know, though they cannot tell, the deep content of a life that is ordered after the fashion God gave them when ho created them man and woman. —Chicago Post, ■NO. 35.
