TAKE CA HE OF THE GIRLS.
A stranger in Philadelphia, or oven
a seduto cilir.en w ho walks upon the
south sidu of Chcslutit street on a hoi
iduy night, must be astonished and
pur.r.led al tho number ol pretty young
girls he meets, who saunter along Ihe
sidewulk with ull tho aim and assur
ances of women ut the town, and yet
wilb evident simplicity and child
ishness lliut lorhid any imputation on
their character. In no other large
city in the world can anything like
this be seen. In New York, or almost
anywhere else, a woman who goes out
ut night unattended proclaims her po
sition ut oncoj but here, although
sireet-wullting is carried on wihh a
flagrnncy that would not be tolerated
elsewhere, we could not tuke the thou
sand of young women lhat wo meet
for slroct-wulker without assuming
that bull' the female population ot the
city bad hwt its virtue. We must hope
and believe lhat this alarming custom
ill llie majority of cases works no seri
ous resull ; and yet it requires a grout
deul of fuitb iu liiimun nature to be
lieve even Ibis, and no great degree of
foresight to predict tho mischief that !
in very many cases must come ol it
(lis probably true that a lady may go
through the streets of Philadelphia al
night with less liability lo instill than
she would encounter in other cities.

and was joyfully received by bia

His health was very poor, and con
tinued to get worse. Last February
ho died al tlj Jt irkiyLW summer

The duy uf the lunerul Mudemoisello

authorize the bunkers lo pay over tbo
money. Mr. Uolliuuii wrotu lo tha
London hunker., cautioning them not
to udvunce uny money to his son, and
utter being so cautioned they did ad
vance it. A suit tor tliu whole amount
tollowed, and a jury rendered a verdict
lor the plaintiff Counsel tor Mr.
Uotl'iiiun moved for a new trial on the
ground of new ly discovered evidence.
Il is said that the evidence referred to
wus found by Mademoiselle Bonlunli
among the efleclsot the deceased. Tbe
court reversed its decision.
Hero is a story which tells better
than a dictionary can tho meaning of
the word "disinterestedness." Tho
lute Arch-Deacon llure wasoncc.when
tutor ol Trinity Collego, Cambridge,
giving a lecture, wbeu a cry of "Fire"
wus raised. Away rushed bis pupils,
und lurmiiig themselves into a line be

from one lo another. The lutor quickly
mowing, luunu them thus enguged ;
ut tbe end ot the hue olio you lb was
standing up to his waist in llie river;
! lie was delicate and be looked con
sumptive. "What!" cried Mr. llure,
'you in the water, Sterling? you ao
liable to tuke cold !" "Somebody must
be iu it," the youth answered ; "why
not 1, as well as another?" Tbespirit

nubility of character, looking al nec

Wo altacb undue value to more
emotion in religion. Weimugine that
tears are a prout of the whole nature
being stirred to Its profbundesl depths.
It may bo so, but not necessarily. Tbo
ruin thai fulls wilb a loud noise speed
ily runs off and disappears; but tho
snow, that fulls silently, remains and
accumulutcs. And so ihu emotion that
is demonstrative quickly vanishes,
while tho quiet inward sorrow of soul
remains, bringing lorth the fruit that
that is unto holiness, and whose end is
everlusling lite. 'I'he suuuihilitiiva m.y
bu moved whilv the heart is unchanged,
and tho inner nature cold as tbe ice

human nuturu have noticed tbut weak,
shallow nutures, that are ready to
shed tears on the most trifling occasion,

heart. And henco the beaulilul veris

spiritual Icrvors ever outrun his well

There is no lile so irksome as tbo
i life of a prolessor of religion who is a
a disciple on lv in appearance. To tho
man who is hypocritical by design,
there is a certain zest In his imposition
on mankind. There is need of adroit-
,w "'"l "'"'cwil cunning in ins gamo;
and al times, of not a little boldness.
This stimulates bim, and keeps him
spry and on tho alert. His delight is
Ihe delight of a devil, it istruo; out it
is delight nevertheless, and olten keen
and pungent. -Not so with the self
deceived professor, a disciple only
in outward habit. His lile is a dull
routine of duties, all the moro irksomo
because, fuithliilly pcrlormetl. Each
duy is a treadmill, with its cheerless
necessity of tircsomo motion. Slop ho
