The best portion of the opening chapters of Henry Ward Bccchcr'S now novel is a New England love pas sago, the proposal of 'Biah Gathcarttoi Rachel Lascomb. They were walking silently and gravely home one Sunday afternoon, ' under the tall elms that line tbe street for half a mile Neither had spoken. | ' There had been some little parish quar ■ rel, and on that afternoon the text was. J,:'A new commandment I write unto you, that ye love one another.' But,, after tho sermon was done, the texi was the best part of it. Some one : said that Parson Marsh's sermons were Jike tho meeting house — the steeple ■jwas tho only tiling that folks could sec after they got home. " | 1 hey walked slowly, without a word. Once or twice 'Biah essayed to speak, but was still silent. He plucked a ' flower from between the pickets of the [ I fence, and unconsciously pulled it to pieces, as with troubled face, lie glanced at Rachel, as fearing she would catch ' his eye, ho looked at tho trees, at the ■ clouds, at tho fields, at the grass, at . ! I everything, and saw nothing — noth- 1 ing but Rachel. The most solemn hour of human experience is not that j of Heath, but of Life — when the heart ! is born again, and from a natural heart j becomes a heart of Lovo ! What won- i • der that it was a silent hour and per '; plexed ? LEWISTOWN, MIFFLIN COUNTY, PA- 2 Is the soul confused? Why not, I when tho divine spirit, rolling clear, across tho anial ocean, breaks upon 7' the heart's shore with all the mystery !• of heaven? Ts it strange that unccr tain lights dim the eye, if above the head of him that truly loves hover clouds of saintly spirits? Why should not the tongue slammer and refuse its accustomed offices, when all tho world — skies, trees, plants, hill, atmosphere, and tho solid earth— spring forth in ' new colors, with strange meanings, I and seem to chant for the soul the glory of that mystic Law with which God has hound to himself his infinite realm — the law of love ! Then, for the first time, when one so loves that love is sacrifice, death to self, resurrection and glory, is man brought into har mony with tbe wiiolo universe; and, j like him who beheld the seventh heav en, hears things unlawful to he ut tered. The great elm trees sighed as the fitful breeze swept their tops. The soft shadows flitted back and forth beneath tho walker's feet, fell upon them in light and dark, ran over the ground, quivered and shook, until sober Cathcart thought his heart was throw ing its shifting network of hope and fear along the ground before him ! How strangely bis voice sounded to I him as, at length, all bis emotions could only say, 'Rachel— how did you I like the sermon ?' Quietly she answered— 'l like the text ' "A new commandment I write un to you, that you love ono another,' Ra chel !' ' At first she looked down and lost a little color; then, raising her face, she turned upon him her large eyes, with a look both clear and tender. It was as if some painful restraint had given way, and her eyes blossomed into full beauty. Not another word was spoken. They walked home hand in hand. He neith er smiled nor exulted. lie saw neither the trees, nor the long level rays of sunlight that were slanting across the fields. His soul was overshadowed with a cloud as it God were drawing near. He had never felt so solemn. This woman's life had been entrusted to him ! Long years— tho whole length of life — the eternal years beyond, seemed in an indistinct way to rise up in his imagination. All that he could say as he lett her at the door was ; 'Rachel, this is forever — forever.' She said nothing, but turned to him with a clear and open face, in which joy and trust wrought beauty. It seemed to him as if a light fell upon him from her eyes. There was a look that descended- and covered him as with an atmosphere; and all the way home he was as one walking in a lu minous cloud. He had never felt such personal dignity as now He that wins such love is crowned, and may call him j self king. Ho did not feel tho earth under his feet. As he drew near his ; lodgings, the sun went down. The chil dren began to pour forth, no longer re ; strained. Abiah turned to his evening chores. No animal that night hut had reason to bless him. Tho children found him unusually good and tender. | And Aunt lveziah said to her sister: 'Abiah's been going to M etin' very j regular for some weeks, and I should not wonder by the way he looks, if he had got a hope; I trust ho ain't deceiv ing himself.' lie had a hope, and ho was not de ceived; for in a few months, at the close ot the service one Sunday morning, tho minister read from tho pulpit: 'Marriage is intended between Abiah i Cathcart and Rachel Lascomb, both of | this town, and this is the first publish- J ing of the bans.' Children's Department. Letters to Itoys and (drh. NO. IV. MY DF.AU YOUNG FRIENDS: In my last letter I wrote about cour- 1 age; in this one I will say something! about TRUTH. I suppose there is no: sin which you are ot'tener tempted to commit than that of telling what is not true. I once saw a little box of tools. It had chisels, augers, awls, and ever so many things in it, but not ono of them had a handle. Upon ex amining it, 1 found that the box itself was the handle which fit everyone. Now some one has said, 'Sin has many tools, hut a lie is tho handle that will fit thorn all.' You scarcely ever do anything wrong that you are not tempt ed to tell a lie in order to hide it. — j When your father, or mother, or teach- 1 er, says, 'John, did you do that?' or,! 'Mary, was that you ?' the first words; ready to drop from your tongue are j 'No, sir, 'or'No, ma'am.' To tell a lie ! of this kind is very wrong. But to deny the truth is not the only kind of lying that is wrong. It is just as wicked to tell 'white lies,' as they are called, to hide a part; of tbe truth. A gentleman had in his garden a dwarf pear tree; on which hung six or eight fine pears. One day, | I when he was going away, he called his two boys to him, and told them ; they must not pick any of the pears. When he came back ho missed one j from tho tree. Calling the boys he Vol. 57, No. 32. asked them if they hud picked any •, 'No, sir;' said one of the little follows, nj'mo shake do tree and him drop >• off' The father talked to them, ■ j telling thorn they ought not to havo L * shaken tlio tree, and then let them go. r A few days afterward he was goin<* I away again, and told the boys they s must not pick the pears nor shake the I tree. Wh en he returned ho looked at , tho tree; and found one pear hanging ij by the stem, but carefully eaten all , | around nearly to tho middle of the • i core. Calling the boys to him he asked I if they had picked any pears. 'No, sir,' i said the one who was always first to t speak. 'Did yon shako the tree ?' 'No* , sir.' 'Well, what did you do? 'Mo i bite him to see if him was wipe, and him teas wipe !' Now it is just as wrong . t to go around the truth in this way as to j tell a direct lie. So, too, it is wrong to add to tho i truth. Did 3*ou ever hear of tho boy • s who came rushing down stairs, crying, ii'O mother, there's a thousand cats on the garret!' 'Not a thousand, my son V 'Well, then, a hundred.' 'A hundred is a good many.' 'Well, there are ten.' 'I hardly think there are that many.' 'Well, there's one, I'm sure.' 'Now I believe you, my son.' Whenever you are tempted to tell big stories, think about tho boy and the thousand cats. It is wrong, too, to tell a lie just for i the fun of the thing.' I once read of a boy who was the worst story-teller in all his neighborhood. Some com panions met him one day, when ono offered him an applo if ho would tell them a bigger lie than he had ever told before. 'Me !' said he, looking as , innocent as a lamb; 'why, I never told • a lie in all my life !' 'Here is your ap -1 pie,' said the one who had made tho j . offer. All this was done in jest, but it 1 was wrong, and so is 'April fooling,' ! and all joking of the kind. The best rule is, whether in earnest or in fun, • always to speak tho truth. Let me give you somo reasons for • always speaking the truth. Ono is, f!God will he pleased. Every time you . tell a lie you please 'the father of lies' I and displease God, and every timeyou r tell the truth you please 3'our Father in Heaven and displease Satan. The Wicked One is the friend 3'ou will over make by l3 T ing. Another reason for being truthful is, [ 3'ou will respect yourself. You rua3' ( deceive others b>* lying, but you cannot , deceive yourself. Every time you tell an untruth 3*ou know you have done a mean action, and 3*oll cannot help feel | ingmeanty. Conscience tells you that , you are a liar, and that a liar is as bad . as a thief. You are afraid to meet 1 those whom 3*oll have deceived. You : would not have others see 3*oll as 3*ou S; see yourself for the world. But if you • are truthful, 3*ou r.eed fear no one, and . can held up 3*our head and look any 1 one in the eye. i•• Another reason for speaking tho truth is, 3-0U will bo respected and honored by others. A teacher once masked his scholars why Washington was called 'the Father of his Country,' when one of the smaller bo3*s immo • diately sung out, 'Becauso he never I told a lie!' Of course the whole school 1 laughed at the little fellow's answer, but I do not think he was so far wrong after all. If Washington had not been the truthful, honest, patriotic boy ho I was, he would not havo becomo tho 1 good and great man he was, and been honored with the title of 'Father of his Countr3*.' I cannot do belter than ; close this letter with the description of a truthtul boy, which, perhaps, j*ou havo seen in your school books: Once (here was a little boy, With curly hair and pleasant eye, A boy who always spoke the truth, And never, never told a lie. And when he trotted oft to school, The children all about would cry, "There goes the curly-headed boy, The boy who never telis n lie." And everybody loved him so, Because he always told the truth, That every day, as he grew up, Twas said, "there goes the honest youth." And when the people that stood near Would turn to ask the reason why, The answer would be always this, "Because he never tells a lie." Your friend, Maz Lynne ZEtZEaiIPES- I'ctrolcum for the Itch. —Dr. Decaisno, of Belgium, reports having used suc- tho oil of petroleum in up wards of six hundred cases of itch. In the great majority of cases the disease i was cured after a single friction, in several after two, and in a vei*3* few instances three or four ap plications were required. The meth od failed in two or three cases only, and in these sulphuret of lime was ne cessary to effect a cure. It is not no cessar3',assomo military surgeons have I thought, to rub in the oil with coarse towels and brushes, but, on the con trary, tho softest brushes should be used to spread tho oil on the skin. Dr. Decaisno, from experiments instituted ;in the military hospital and garrison at Antwerp, on the disinfection of tho clothing, belioves that this process is quite unnecessary. Even if some of the germs of the itch insect should ad here to tho wearing apparel, these are desti*o3'ed b3' the action of the petro leum with which the person of the pa. tiont is saturated.
