This Is not the lowest priced, but being much the best is in the end by far the cheapest Do not fall to irlve it a trial, and you will use no other, THE alarming Increase In the numlier of frlRht fiil accidents, resulting 111 terrible deaths and the destruction of valuable nroierty, caused by I he indiscriminate useof oils, Known under tho name of petroleum, prompts us to call your ie cial attention to an article which will, wherever USED, remove the CAUSE of such accidents. We allude to Carson's Stellar Oil FOB ILLUMINATING PURPOSES. The proprietor of this Oil has for several years felt the necessity of providing for, and presenting to the public, as a substitute for the duiiKeious compounds which are sent broadcast over the country, an oil that Is SAFE and BRILLIANT, and entirely reliable. After a long series of lalm rious and costly exerlnients. he has succeeded in providing, and now oilers to the public, such a substitute ill "CARSON'S STELLAR OIL." It should be used by every family, 1ST, Ilecausc It Is safo beyond a question. The primary purpose In the preparation of STELLAR OIL has been to make It PERFECTLY SAFE, thus Insuring the lives and property of those who use It. 21), Because it Is the most BRILLIANT liquid ill uminator now known. 3D, Because it Is more economical, in the long run. than any of the dangerous oils and fluids now In too common use. 4TII, Because It Is Intensely BRILLIANT, "and therefore. economical, giving the greatest possi ble light at the least expenditure to the consum er. Its present standard of SAFETY AND BRILLIANCY will always be maintained, for upon this the proprietor deiiends for sustaining the high reputation the STELLAR OIL now enjoys.

Haberdasher & Co., who for live years past have been Rolling their goods at an alarming sacrifice 1 as tho columns of the duily papers anil a largo placard in front of the store have constantly made known to an interesting public. This, however, has no direct bearing up on my story. Let mo only say in addition, while upon Oils point, that my salary, al though largo enough for my own mainte nance, has precluded nil thoughts of mat rimony in tho present expensive Btylo of living. Therefore it may bo easily inferred that I must either resign myself not to many at all or find somn one who to a heart super-adds n fortune. Tho reader now understands my position sufficiently to understand tho feelings with which I ruad an advertisement of the fol lowing purport In tho paper some time since. The advertisement in question sot forth the advantage of a certain gift enterprise in a brilliant list of prizes, closing with what do you think ? No 1rs than the hand of a young lady, togethor with twon ty thousand dollars 1 Tho conditions woro that if upon acquaintance either the young lady or the winning party should see lit to declino tho matrimonial nllianco intended, tho rejecting party should forfeit all claim to tho twenty thousand dollars which should go to the rejected. This was on tho wholo a fair proposition, since neither would wish to bo in honor bound to marry one who might bo hideous witli deformity, physical or moral. The price of tickets in this tempting lot tery was only two dollars. J lost on agents, Messrs, Shave & Co., Stato St. Having fully mado up my mind to invest, I called thero on my way from dinner. Have you any tickets left?" 1 inquired, with some anxiety. "A few," was tho prompt reply. "Will you have one?" , " Yes, 1 believe so." I accordingly passed a two dollar bill to tho clerk, and received a ticket marked 11,800. "Rather a high figure," I remarked, carelessly. Yes," said tho clerk, "tickets oro go ing like hot cakes. They arc in great de mand among young men," ho said, smiling. ' Some take ns many as fifteen or twenty to make their chance surer." I was about, upon this hint to follow their example and purchase a few more. when I luckily reflected that a board-bill due the next day would take tip all my re maining nvailablo funds, and prudently de nied myself. Dear reader, did you over have a ticket in any lottery or gift enterprise? If so, you can understand my stato of mind for the month that must intervene boforo tho declaration of the prizes. I was continu ally speculating upon my chances of suc cess and what I should do, if, on being de clared tho lucky winner of the first prize, I should In id tho lady whom I had won en tirely ugly and unprepossessing. In such a com) would tho sum of twenty thousand dollars bo sufficient to sugar tho pill ? I could not tell, but wisely concluded to wait till the alternative was really presented. -In the meantime I was particularly observant of tho pretty faces whom tho placard "An Alarming Sacrifice" drew to our store. I amused myself by picking out particular young ladies and representing to myself the possibility that some one of them might be the lady who was to bring her intended twenty thousand dollars. Without dwelling upon this, 1 will only gay that I saw several whom I should have been perfectly willing to marry ot a less high figure. Iain aware that some of my romantic young lady readers will shako their heads at this admission, and brand mo a mercenary fvllcw with a heart not large enough to bo worth having, lint, my dear young ladies, you must remember that at that time I had no particular interest in any young lady, was more likely to bo in fluenced by tho fascinations of the sex gen erally, and I venture to say that if I had happened to meet any of you before I bo came acquainted with the present Mil. Bugbee, (bo it known I am married at last) there is no knowing what might have hap pened. I can imagine- Mrs. Bugbee shak ing in her hIiocb nt the mere supposition. To proceed with my story. Tho mouth slipped slowly away, as all periods of sus pense do. I should scarcely dare to say how ninny mistakes the prc-occupied state of my mind led me to make, such as return ing to a customer seventy-five cents more than was due her, on which occasion my employer, tho euior Mr. Haberdasher, se verely remarked that when I mado such mistakes, I should tako care to let thorn be ou the other side that while giving back too much change was highly reprehensible, giving back too little would be a venial of fence which he would readily forgivo. Tho month at length drew to a close, and I, in an excited frame of mind, walked down to Messrs. Shave & Co.'s office in Slate street. Tho ofllco was already full of anxious ticket-holders, who were alternate ly elated or depressed by their success or want of it, I was particularly amused by ft scono which transpired just before my own turn camo. The applicant before mo was a tall lady of thirty-nine or thereabouts exceedingly span, and very prim In her ways. ' Though she did not recognize me, I remember perfectly having been intro duced to her one occasion as Miss Charity Billings. She was tho very picture of a prim, methodical old maid, and professed to have a vory low opinion of all mankind possibly because they had proved so blind to her varied attractions. I confess I was suprised to soo Miss Charity in such a placo as I had supposed that the pomp and van ities of this world, including of course filthy lucro, wore as nothing in her sight. How over, nppcarancrs are deceitful. ' " Your number, ma'am?" Inquired tho clerk. " Five thousand six hundred and seventy three," primly pronounced Miss Charity. The clerk consulted his list. When ho looked up, bis face violently struggled to retain its gravity. " You have drawn, ma'am," said bo, " an elegant rosewood cradle !" Miss Charity's face turned all colors, and her embarrassment was considerably In creased by a suppressed laugh, which her quick cars did not fail to catch. " Where shall I send it ?" inquired the clerk. Miss Charity looked undecided ; but for tunately a person with "speculation in his eye," stepped up and offered to tnko it off her hands at a rcsouablo rate. Miss Bill ings at onco recovered her composure, and prepared herself for making tho most of her prize, which she oventually sold. "No. 11,G08!" repeated I taking my placo at tho counter, after Miss Billings had been fairly disposed of. The clerk, after a brief examination, seized my hand with warmth. "Sir, I congratulate you 1" ho exclaimed, " You are tho fortunate winner of onr first prize." I went homo on my head or my heels I nm not quite sure which not, however, until I had ascertained that tho namo of tho young lady whose hand I had won was Ethcliuda Blackstone, and that she lived in Coventry, a town in Western New York. When sober second thought came to my assistance, I could not help regretting tho conditions on which I was to become tho cnviablo possessor of twenty-thousand dol lars. I reflected, with a sinking heart, that the lady might bo as ugly as a Gorgon, in which case, sho would, of course, insist on my performing my part of tho contract. I at onco petitioned Messrs. Haberdasher & Co., for a month's vacation, merely al leging that important business called me nwuy. I could not help blushing, when I proffered tho request, which led to meaning looks being exchanged by the other clerks, None of them however, were in my se cret. Quo pleasant morning in October, I found myself in Oswego, purchasing a ticket by stage to Coventry, which, as I was told, was distaut some twenty miles from that Hour ishini! citv. The stage went fnrther, but Coventry was one of tho placos on tho route. Opposite mo in tho stage, sat a rosy checked maiden of vory attractive appear ance. She was somewhat demuro withal and only cast stolen glances at me, which I pretended not to see, while I, in turn, look ed at her, and when our eyes chanced to meet, they were instantly withdrawn. All this was very foolish of course, but I allege in my own defence, that my opposilo neigh bor, besides being decidedly pretty, was tho only presentable-looking female in the coach. Close beside her was a spinster, of thirty-five or thereabouts, with tt purscd-up mouth, and two scctians of yellowish hair mastered to each check. Iter noso was long and thin, while she herself was lank ness personified. Add to this a pair of bluo spectacles, and you will readily imagine that the beauty of the girl beside her was heightened by tho contrast. There appeared however, to be somo ac quaintance between them, nsl obseived the young lady speaking familiarly with her less prepossessing companion. . Tho road over which wo woro riding was rough and bubbly. In parts it inclined to one side, so that one part of the coach was lifted higher than the other. Ou ono of these occasions the inequality was farth cr Increased by tho wheel at tho upper end passing a stone. Tho jolt was such that tho passengors were violently precipitated to one side, and I, much to my surprise, but not at all to my displeasure, found my pretty neighbor opposlto, seated in my lap, I made nut the least effort to relieve myself of the unexpected burden but tho young lady, half-blushing, half-laughing, with drew as quickly as possible from her em barrassing predicament On looking about I observed that the gentleman at my sido a bluff, stout gentleman, was in stato of ludicrouB perplexity. The spinster whom I have mentioned, bad been thrown for ward at the same timo and opening her arms in the vain endeavor to save herself, they involuntarily clasped her opposite neighbor round tho neck. In her bewlldor meut, sho did not immediately release ber bold, but uttered a succession' of piercing shrieks, which first alarmed, and finally convulsed with laughter all passengers. Fortunately for us, we wero noar tho end of our journey . My opposite neighbor and hbr companion got out nt a neat two-story brick house, about half a mile from the hotel where I myself stopped. Aftor passing tho night comfortably at tho Coventry Arms, I inquired of the land lord, in tho morning, if ho could inform me where Miss Kthelinda Blackstone resided. " In a brick house about half a mile from here," was the reply. " A two story, brick house, with lilac bushes on cither side of the gato ?" I in quired, with sudden hope. , " That's the place." 1 at onco jumped to the joyful conclusion that my pretty stago companion was the lady to whose hand I could urge so strong a claim. I dressed myself carefully, and about ten o'clock, armed with a letter of introduction from the President of tho Oift Kntcrprisc, I walked over to tho brick house. My modest knock called to the door my pretty stago companion. A blush of rec ognition showed that I was not forgotten. Stammering out something about the beau ty of tho morning, I delivered my letter, and accepted an invitation to tako a scat in the parlor. My inamorata left me, to read tho letter in private. Meanwhile I began to feel tho embarrass ment of my position. Nevertheless, I had taken tho first step and determined not to faint or falter, with such a prize in view. On tho walls of the little parlor, were vari ons neat and tasteful drawings, attesting tho skill of my lato companion. V Inlo 1 was busily engaged m examin ing these, the door opened and admitted the spinster. I knew her instantly by her long nose and yellow hair. Mr. Bngbee ?" she said inquiringly. I bowed. I am Miss Ethcliuda Blackstone, to whom your letter was addressed." I was petrified I it was tho aunt then and not tho niece whose virgin hand I had won In my dismay and perplexity I with diffi culty ejaculated that I was happy to make her acquaintance. "I feel, Mr. Bugbee," said the spinster casting down her eyes in modest confusion, "that that this meeting is, on both sides, an embarrassing ono. And ns we may both desire to become better acquainted, may I ask your company to tea this even ing? Our hour is six." Hastily accepting tho invitation 1 return ed to tho hotel in a very unhappy stato of mind. ' If it had only been tho young lady," I thought, " I should havo been delighted but I never never can make my mind to wed this antiquated spinster. A hundred thousand dollars would not tempt me 1" I took tea at the house of Miss Ethcliuda. Tho young lady, Miss Carrio Blackstone, who proved to be tho neico of tho elder lady was very demure ; but I cou'id now and then detect a mischievous glanco from her black eyes, as they rested in turn on her aunt and myself. Sho said but little, and left tho burden'of conversation to us. As might bo supposed, it was precise, formal and heavy. Alter tea wo walked out. I was forced to oiler my arm to tho spinster much against my will whilo Miss Carrio vory demurely tripped behind. How long will this larco bo kept up? ' thought I sigh'ng. "I am very much ufraid Miss Ethcliuda will throw tho bur den of rejection upon mo. She appears to have taken a fancy to mo already. Just my luck." I groaned ia spirit, but had to preserve an outward appearance of cheerfulness. So it went ou for a fortnight. Miss Etho- unda evidently looked ou mo with favor, while sho became nioro and more distaste ful to me, more especially as I was deep in love with her nioco. Hitherto, I had had no opportunity to speak in private witli tho latter.. It so happened that at one timo on ono of my daily calls, I found the elder lady absent. Carrio assured mo that she would bo iu soon. Accordingly, nothing loath, I decided to await iu her company the return of her aunt. Before the interview was over, so un usually bewitching proved my companion, that I blundered out my love. "I I thought," sho said, blushing, "that it was my aunt that that you " 1 very earnestly assured her that although I had tho highest esteem for her aunt, I loved only hor that I was perfectly willing to resign all claim to tho twenty thousand dollars ; that no amount of money, howev er largo, would satisfy the heart that love outweighed every other consideration and much more to tho samo effect. ' " Since you set so high a value on this hand," she said, frankly placing it in mine, " I yield it to you freely : the more freely that you will not be compelled to make the sacrifice you nnticipato iu claiming it. It is myself and not my aunt to whom your letter was addressed. " " But your full name is Carrie." said I bewildered. , ' "My full name is Carrio RthelindV " although to distinguish mo from my aunt, I am usually called by the former." " But I was led to suppose that your aunt" " Will you pardon tho deception?" said Carrie smiling. " I feared thut it was tny money and iut myself thut would prove the greater attraction, and I persuadod the aunt to personate tho heiress. Ilore she comes." The spinster, who appeared in a more amiable light now that I was satisfied she bad no designs upon my hand, vory cheer fully gave her consent to my engagement with her niece. A month aftorwards we were married. SUNDAY HEALING. Revengeful Punishments. We once knew of a little child who had stolen a couplo of figs oft' the dessert dish on tho dinner table. Tho theft was discov ered, and her father mado her wear tho figs on a string round her neck the whole even ing, with full explanations why. Wo heard the story when the child hasl grown up to be a woman, and from her own lips ; and sho said that to this hour she suffered from the shame of that evening ; it was burnt into her, and mado a wound inefface able for life. It was a tremendous punish ment for the fault ; the fault itself being in so young a child as she was flvo years old only one that might havo been punished and reformed by milder measures. It seems to have been a mistake, judging from tho bitterness with which the father's character was spoken of she said she had ceased to love him from that day and from the stern and loveless nature of the woman herself it seemed to have cast out all soft ness from bet. And though, to be suro, sho stolo no more ilgs, yet she had learned her lesson of keeping her fingers from wan dering into the region of forbidden dainties at too sevcro cost. Tho policy of humilia tion is a dangerous one at all times and on all occasions, and far moro souls havo been crushed by this than sins havo been con firmed by over-leniency. To destroy all self-respect is to destroy all healing power, and to prevent all possibility of a rebouud. In dealing with the faulty, however, hard wo may bo on tho sin, wo ought always to reserve a way of restoration to tho sinner. Tho Way to Make a Poor Pastor. 1. Be careless and irregular in attending church. Never go, except when you can manufacture no good excuso to stay at home. 2. When at church be cither asleep or staring about. Do not listen to tho Ber nion. 8. AVhen you go homo complain of the sermon as light and chall'y, or thy and un interesting. 4. Treat your pastor with a cold and un inviting civility, and then complain of him because ho does not visit you. 5. Neglect to pray for a blessing upon him and his labors, and then complain of him because the church docs not prosper. C. Bo always finding fault with your pas tor, and yet regret that he is not moie pop ular with the people. j 7. Be very lukewarm and worldly-minded, and yet complain of him for waut of zeal. 8. Neglect to provide for his necossary wants, and then complain of him bocause he wants bis salary. Do all those things, and you will never fail to have a poor pastor. V A humming-bird met a butterfly, and, being pleased with tho beaut y of his person nnd the glory of his wings mado on offer of perpetual friendship. " I cannot think of it," was tho reply, " as you once spurned me, and called me a crawling dolt." Impossible !" exclaimed tho humming bird ; " I always entertained tho highest re spect for such lieautiful creatures as you." " Perhaps you do now," said tho other ; "but when you insulted mo I was a cater pillar. So let mo give you a pieco of ad vice : never insult the huuiblo, as they may somo day become your superior." tET Anticipate tho triumphant hour when this head which often aches with weariness shall bo encircled with tho crown of glory. Think of tho timo when our hands are worn with toil shall grasp tho palm branch, nnd tho feet that aro weary with this pilgrim ago shall stand upon tho sea of glass, when our constant occupation shall bo to glorify him who has uplifted us from the miry class and set our feet upon a rock, and estab lished our goings for ever. tZPOne drop of ink will blacken a whole glassful of water. So will one evil com munication make tho wholo heart foul. You might drop many, many drops of water into a tumbler of ink, but it would have no prcceptiblo influence Bo it will take thousands of good piccepts and good instructions to root out ono evil word. tW A bright-eyed littlo fellow in one of the Brooklyn private school, having spelt a word, was asked by his teacher : " Are you willing to bet you are right, Bennie?" The boy looked up with an air of astonishment, and said : "I know I'm right, Miss V., but I never bet." C3?
