SUNDAY HEADING.
Marrying Tlplors.
A word of warning to young ladies on
this subject it not inappropriate How
many young women, by uniting thoir des
tinies with tiplors, or men of confirmed
inebriate habits, have involved themselves
in lives of sorrow and often shame.
" Yet in spite of all the wretohedness of
drunkards' wives," says Mr. Cuylor,
"young woman are continually willing to
marry men who are in the habit of indul
ging in the social glass ! Ladies often re
fuse the marrioge offers of young men
because they are too poor, or too humble
a family, or too plain in person or man
ners. But only now and then ono has
good sen so enough to refuse to unite her
self with a man who will not pledge
himself to total abstinence! A rich and
fashionable; young man has commonly no
trouble to get a wife, even though ho in
hardly sober long enough to pronounce
t!io tnarriago vow. But a teetotaler . iu
course raiment might bo snubbed as a
vulgar fellow who has never seen society.
Ladies, before you begin to scold at me
for this impious thing, just look uround
and soo if it is not true."
Ladies, this is an important subject,
and you should consider it well. It in
volves your happiness and respectability
in this world, and perhaps your salvation
in the next. You should reject the hand
of any man who indulges in the intoxica
ting cup. What is riches, station, or
anything worth, without sobriety, virtue,
and character 1 Beware.
lto Contented.
Bulwcr says that poverty is only an
idea in nine cases out of ten. Home
men with $10,000 a year suffer more for
want of means than others with $500.
The reason is, the richer man has arti
ficial wants. His income is $10,000 a
year, and he suffers enough by being dun
ned for unpaid debts to kill a sensitive
mnn. A man who earns a dollar a day
and does not go into debt is the happier
of the two. Very few people who havo
uevcr been rich will believe this, ! but , it
is true. There are thousands and thou
sauds with priucely incomes .who never
know a minute's peace, because they live
beyond their means. There is really
more happiness among the workmen in
tho world than among thoso who are call
ed rich.'
. '.' A Beautiful Thought.
God knows what koys in the human
soul to touch in order to draw out' its
sweeter and most perfect harmonics,
They may be the minor strains of sadness
and sorrow ; they may be the loftier notes
of joy nnd gladness. God knows where the
melodies of our naturo are, and what dis
cipline will bring them forth. Some
with plaintive tongues must walk in low
ly vales of life 'a weary- way; others in
loftier hymns sing pf nothing but joy as
they tread the mountain tops of life;
but they all unite without discord or jar
as the ascending nuthem of loving and
believing hearts finds its way into the
chorus of the redeemed in heaven.
How to Treat Children. :
;1. Never rofuso a thing if it is harm

Freaks of an Elephant.
09BRIKN'S menagerie which has
been traveling through tho state
of Conn., recently had some unpleasant
experience with the large elephant called
Mogul. Just after the afternoon perform
ances at Meridcn,ho took it into his head
to enact a tragedy not on the bills, so
walking majesticly out of his enclosure,
he wont for his keeper in a fit of rage.
Tho keeper sought refuge under tho cage
containing Kangaroos, which Mogul dis
dainfully turned over in a jiffy, ond walk
ed through the canvas out of doors. Then
ho went out on a tour of inspection, and
if not " seeking whom he might devour,"
he certainly seemed willing to accommo
date anybody or anything that might
wish for a set-to. Meoting a pilo of
lumber io tho adjoining lumber yard, he
quickly sproad tho boards in good shape
for seasoning. Then meeting in his path
one of the mules belonging to the com
pany, he ran his tusks completely through
its body, pinning it to the ground, and
killing the animal instantly. The- next
obstruction in his majesty's path was a
wagon belonging to Messrs. Grother &
Hall, which he scornfully seized with his
trunk, and raising it, smashed it to pieces:
then he returned to tho dead mule, and
again plunged his tusks through it, and
breaking off ono of his tusks close to the
jaw, sauntering carelessly into Stato
street, iho keeper and other attaches
of the menagerie soon rallied, and by
strategy and good tactics ho was induced
to enter a field belonging to Mr. Camp,
thence into an orchard, where he indulg
ed in the pastime of tearing or smashing
wholo lengths of picket fenco. The novel
mode of subduing him, temporarily, by
shooting him in the faco and trunk with
buckshot, was adopted. Some fifty heavy
charges were fired at him ; the stingiug
effect acted well as a slight check upon
his operations, during which his keeper
fearlessly approached and chained him to
on apple tree about twelve inches in di
ameter, which was no sooner di cove red
by tho enraged animal than ho instantly
and without apparont effort, but with the
greatest ease, tore it up by the roots, and
again created the greatest consternation
among the immense crowd who had now
collected in the immediate vicinity. All
went, and stood not on tho order ot
going, but some tall running was done,
and somo laughable accidents occurred in
the stampede, leaving tho ground free to
Mogul and his would-be captors. '
He was, by great during and agility:on
the part of his keeper, again secured by
chaining his hind feet to a very large
tree ; hero ho was left for the night,
and a good guard stationed with rifles
loaded with ball, to kill him should he
again break looso during the ; night. He
was evidently much chagriued at his con
finement, and continued to " snort" and
struggle to break the chain, affording
much excitement throughout tho city
during the entire night, but fortunately
he was held uutil about 5 o'clock in the
morning, when his keeper, with tho as
sistance of tho entire force of the concern
and about 500 citizens, undertook the
job of punishing and subduing the mon
ster. Largo ropes and chains were pro
cured, and after many attempts, in which
the sumo were broken quite easily,ho was
finally; at the end of 1 two hours, thrown
down aud secured in that position, ' when
simultaneously his beating' began by a
dozen strong mon with clubs, iron bars,
spears, and pitchforks,' and continued
until the men were exhausted, and ;agaiu
renewed from time to time for about two
hours, at which timo, ufter many wounds,
and pounding enough to soemingly,.kill
him,, he was as obstiuaut as ever. lie fus
ing to surrender, ho was left to, his , own
reflections in this condition, and the beat
ing abated for a timo. At the present
time of writing (twelve hours), ho seems
determined not to succumb, A choice
he has of doing so or being killed, as in
his dangerous mood he will not be allow
ed to rise without evidence of a change
of heart. It is estimated that the dam
age dune in his tantrum will cost over
$700. . , ' '
, Fortunate it is, that rio lives were lost.
A Singular Dunce,
They have a singular kind of dance on
the greoos of couutry villages in llussia.
The dancers stand apart akuot of young
men hero, a knot of maidens there each
sex by itself, and silent as a crowd of
mutes. ' When tho piper' breaks Into a
tune a youth pulls off his cup, and chal
lenges a girl with a wave and a bow. If
the girl is willing she waves her handker
chief in token of assent ; tho youth ad
vances, takes a corner of tho handkerchief
in his hand, and leads his lassie round
and round. No word Is spoken, and no
laugh is heard. Stiff with cords and
rich with braids, the' girl moves forward
heavily by herself, going round and
round, uevor allowing hur partner to
touch her hand, The pipe goes droning
on for hours in tho same sad key and
measure ; ond the prize of nierit in this
circling," as the, dunce is called, is
given by spectators to the (u&sie who, in
all that summer revelry, has never spok
en and never smiled.
. What a world of gossip would be
prevented if it was only remembered that
a person who tells, you of tho faults of
others intends to toll others of your
faults.
Remarks.
IN the procession that followed good
deacon Jones to the grave last sum
mer, the Reverend Mr. Sampler, tho new
clergyman of East Town, found himself
in tho samo carriage with an elderly man
whom he had never before met. They
rode in grave silence for a few moments,
when tho clergyman endeavorod to im
prove the occasion by serious conversa
tion. -
" This is a solemn duty in which we
ore engaged, my friend," ho said.
" Hey T what do you say, sir V the old
man returned". " Can't you speak louder ?
I'm hard of hoarin'."
" I was remarking," shouted the cler
gyman, " that this is a solemu road wo
are traveling to-day."
" Sandy road ! You don't call this 'ere
sandy, do ye? Guess you ain't been down
to the South deestric. Ther's a stretch
of road on the old pike that beats all I
ever see for hard travellin'. Only a
week before Deacon Jones was tuck sick,
I met him drivin' his ox-team nlong
there, and tho sand was pretty nigh up
to the hubs of the wheels. The deacon
used to get dredful riled 'bout that piece
of road, and East Town does go ahead of
all creation for Band."
Tho young clergyman looked blank at
the unexpected turn given to his remurk ;
but quickly recovering himself, and rais
ing his voice to its highest pitch, he re
sumed the conversation. ,
, " Our friend has done with all the dis
comforts of earth," ho said, solemnly.
" A small spot oi ground will soon cover
his poor senseless clay."
" Did you say clay, sir?" cried the old
man eagorly. " Tain't nigh so good to
cover saud with as meddcr loam. Sez
I to Mr. Brewer, last town-mectin' day,
If you'd cart on a fow dozen loads and
there's acres of it on the river bank,' sez
I, ' you'd make as pretty a piece of road
as there is in Har'ford County. But wo
are slow folks in East Town, sir."
It was, perhaps, fortunate for the cler
gyman at that moment that the smell of
new-made hay from a neighboring field
suggested a fresh train of thought.
" Look," said he, with a graceful wave
of the jland. " what an emblem of the
brevity of human life I ' As the grass of
the field so man ilourisheth. and to-morrow
he is cut down.' " , ,
" I don't calculate to cut mine till next
week," said, his companion.. "You
mustn't cut grass too 'arly ; and then
again, you mustn't cut it too late."
" My friend," shrieked tho clergyuiun,
in a lust desperate attempt to make him
self understood, " this is no place fbv vain
conversation. AVe aro approaching the
narrow house appointed for ull the liv
in?. They were entering tho graveyard, but
the old man stretched his neck from the'
carriage window in the opposite direction.
, " Do you mean Squiro Hubbard's over
yonder? 'This rather mirror. They
build all them new-fangled houses' that
wuy, now-a-duys. To my mind, they ain't
nili so handsomo nor so handy as the
old-fashioned square ones with a broad
entry runuin' clear through to the back
door. Well, this is tho getting-out-place,
ain't it? Much obleeged to ye,' parson,
for your entertaining remarks. '
The Miser's lesson. . ', ' '
A . MISEJt, living in Kuf'u, bud heard
J. JL, that in Bassora, also, there lived a
miser more miserly than himself, to whom
ho might go to school, and from whom
he might learn much. He. forthwith
journeyed thither, and presented himself
to the great miser as an humble commen
cer in avarice, anxious to learn, .and un
der him to become a student. ' '
. "Welcome!" said tho' miser of Bas
sora. " ," We'll straight to the uiurkct to
make some purchases." 1 '" '
They went to the baker : ' ''
" Hast thou good bread t"
" Good, indeed, my wasters, 'lind soft
as butter." "'.'"!.'' ' :
" Mark this, friend," suid tho man of
Bassora to the one of Kuf'u ; " butter is
compared with bread as being the better
of the two. ' As we can only consume a
small quantity of thut, it will also be
cheaper, and wo shull therefore act more
wisely and savingly, too, in being satis
fied with butter."
They then went to ' the butter mer
chant, and asked it he had good butter?
" Good indeed, and flavory, and fresh
as the finest olive oil," was the answer.
"Mark this, also," said the host to his
guest: "Oil is compared with the best
butter, and, therefore, by much ought to
be preferred to the lattor."
They next went to the oibveuder. . ;
" 1 Inst thou good oil?"
" The very best quality ; white aud
transparent as water, was the reply.
" Mark that, too,' said the miser of
Bassora, to the one of. Kufu : " By this
rule, the water is tho very best. Now at
home I have a pailful, and most hospit
ably therewith will I entertain you."
And, iudecd, on their return nothing
but water did he place before his guest,
because they had learned that water wa
better than oil, oil better than butter, ttnl
butter better than bread.
" 0(d be praised " ea'd the miser of
Kufu, "I have not journeyed this long
distance in vain."
Entertaining
A Cross Examination.
ONE of the most prominent orna
ments of the bar, celebrated for his
geniul disposition, found himself about the
close of the war washed ashore high and
dry pecuniarily, in the otty of Ilichmohd,
where he was forced to hang out his shin
gle in the Ousting Courts. One of his
first clients was a youth, who was arrested
at tho instanco of a respectablo negro
man of family, for having " rocked" his
house and severely injured his daughter
with a stone thrown through a window.
At the examination, old Pompey was put
upon the stand, and proved the charge
in such undeniable terms that it would
have gone hard with our friend's client
had it not been for tho cross examination:
Lawyer " You say one stone came in
to the room where you were sitting with
your family, and struck your daughter ?"
Pomp " Yes, boss."
Lawyer "Where did it strike her?"
Pomp (Silence for a while) " I don't
like to tell, boss."
Lawyer " But you must toll, I de
mand aguiu, where did it hit her?"
Pomp " Dat all foolishness, boss ; I
tell you it hit her. I don't like to tell
where 'fore dese ladies in court."
Lawyer " But you must answer.
Whore did it hit her?"
Pomp (Slowly.') "On the buzzum,
boss."
Lawyer " Well, how severely did it
inj .ire her ?"
Pomp " Oh, quit this foolishness. I
ain't gwiuo to tell."
Lawyer " Again I must insist upon '
my question being answered Did it in
jure her ?"
Pomp (In despair.) "No sah ! it
did not injure her, but it hit tho man's
hand that was payin' 'tention to her."
The case was dismissed immediately for
want of jurisdiction.
A Disagreeable Person.
TIIIK following is said to bo tho last
I thing written by Artomus Ward :
Only a few weeks ago I was on exhi
bition in East Shecboygaic, in a bildin
which was formerly ockepid by a pug
ylist ono of the fellers what hits from
the shoulder, and teaches tho manly artj
of self-defence. And he cum and cod he
was goin' in free in consekenco of previ'
sly ockepying scd bildin with a large
yellor dog. lie sed, ' Oh, yes ;' I sed,
'Oh, no.' lie sed, 'Do you want to be
ground to powder? I sed, ' Yes, if there's
a gunpowder grindist ,' when he struck,
me a disgustin blow in my left eye, which
caused that concern at once to close for
repairs; but he didn't hurt me any more.,
I wont for him energetically. His parents
lived near by, and I wil simply state that
fifteen minutes after I had gone for him,
his mother socio' tho prostrate form of
her son approachin' the house onto a
shutter, curried by four men, runout
doors, keerfully looked him over, and sed,'
" My son, you havo been foolin' round
a thrashin' mishcen. You went in at
tho end where they put the grain in, and
come out with tho straw, then got up in
tho thingumagig and let tho horses trod
on you, didn't you, my son ?" You can
imagine by this what a disagreeable person
I am when I'm angry." 1
Girls' Opinion of Newspnpors.
' Margary Dean, in one of her spicy let
ters from Newport, gives the ' following
piquant discussion between some young
ladies concerning the merits of certain
newspapers. . ti. . it-'. . '
; Sitting on tho hotel; piazza the othor,
morning, watching a group of young la
dies, I overheard a curly headed little
maiden who was frizzled and pannierod
and puffed in the height of style, exclaim,
" Oh, I like the Jiuli pendent best!" A
moment be for o I could have sworn that
Petite never looked at a newspaper
and somewhat surprised, I took the liber
ty of listening further". "The Tribune
suits me," said her bluck-eyed companion.
"I like the 'Evening l'osi chimed in a
Btylish saucy looking girl, who was pett
ing somebody over tho railing with pond
lilies a beautiful bunch, by the way,
which five minutes before I had seen a
gentleman carefully selecting for her from
a little urchin's basket. And when,' I
wonder, do you girls get timo to read the
newspapers ? " Fold them four double,
of course," was the next sentence I
caught, and niore puzzled than before, I
very impolitely walked near the group,
when everything was made clear to mo
by the blonde little one saying. "I had
rather huve a newspaper any day than the
best pannier that was ever made in Paris.'-'
I fell back in tny seat uncertain whether
to laugh or to feel provoked with the
chatterboxes, who had strolled off to lay;
siege to a party of gentlemen just from
the beuch. ,
Who Is to Illume. ' ' .
Fushiouable follies are usually destruc
tive only to those who indulge in them ; but
revelations lately roudo In London show
how the health of tho poor ma sometimes
be made the luxuries of the rich. Euglish
ladies have tnkcu to wouvlug in their hats
Uttlo tufts of artificial grass, sprinkled with
ghiHs-boaris to Imitato tho dow-drops. In
tho manufacture of this kind of adonnment
a virulent poison called Scukei.k's green Is
employed, which Is a compound ot arsenic
and copper. The color is applod by women
and children, who only earn a miserable
pittance by the work, and who by inhaling
the odors of the poison become dangerously
sick and even die.
