I  SAW  thf'iu  coininK  ilfi\vn  the  walx ; 
Hi*  arni  was  roBjul  Uer.  and  1  hoard 
The  hum  of  low  aurt  tetvler  talk. 
So  low  I  cniBfbt  uot  any  word. 
He  plucked  a  flower  beside  the  piitb, 
And  ;.>ut  It  in  her  ebihing  hair, 
My  brain  wljirlcd  In  a  sudden  wrath  : 
What  rig-bl  bad  be  to  put  it  there  ? 
MTiat  riKht  bad  ho,  -a  smooth-faced  boy— 
To  roll  my  life  of  all  most  dear  1 
My  heart  leaped  ui  a  sudden  Joy 
When  aometbinur  whispered  in  my  ear : 
Oh  fool  1  to  let  him  win  away 
The  love  yon  prize,  nor  lift  your  baud  ! 
One  blow  will  tbruat  him  from  your  way— 
Kevenire  is  BomothinK  sweet  and  grrand  ! 
How  strangre  that  scone How  weird  and  wild 
His  bo>'i8h  face,  her  ehinin>f  eyes ! 
The  moonlight  mocked  at  mo  and  smiled ; 
I  heard  the  owl's  forbodirw  cries. 
He  bent  and  kissed  her  roac-sweet  lips. 
What  hapi>ened  then  ?  Mj-  brain  was  wild  ! 
A  flash  of  steel— a  cry !  He  fell, 
And  faiUUK,  Spoke  her  name,  and  amiled  ! 
WTiat  will  the  end  be  ?  Oh  I  know. 
I  see  a  scaffold,  yriui  and  Ijare — 
And  faces,  catfcr,  while,  below,- 
I  hoar  the  solemn  sound  of  prayer  1 
And  then, -ail  then  !  I  dare  not  think  ! 
I  shudder  In  a  strariiiro  iifl'rhfhl  1 
My  Gox> I  lu^ar  the  hammer’s  cilnk  ! 
They  build  a  scaffold  in  the  niiflit !

FRIENDSHIP  OR  LOVE. 
“Love  Is  like  .n  hunt.er.  who  care.-i  not  for  the 
Rftino  once  caught,  which  ho  may  have  pursued 
with  Uto  most  IntcHse  and  breathless  ontrcrncss. 
l,ovc  in  the  strongest  In  pursuit— friendship  In  pos¬ 
session.”— AV/tertio)/. 
Tms  for  the  text  and  for  the  argumeut  this : 
Rlther  liMKiwON  did  not  know  what  love,  was  or 
lie  did  uot  write  the  word  with  llio  full  slgnlhcance 
of  Its  meiining.  I’robiibly  the  latter.  For  many 
of  the  most  bltuxr  dlscus-Hlons  arise  from  a  dltfer- 
ent  undonstundlng  ut  the  same  word.  Thus  In 
hortlcuHiire,  “hybrid  ainl  cross"  are  used  by  some 
as  synonymous  and  lieuco  arise  mlsuudei'stand- 
Ings  and  debates;  so  In  Theology  with  the  words 
“belief  and  faith;”  and  so  love  is  often  written 
when  the  meaning  w'ould  bo  better  expressed  by 
feeling,  desire  oi'  passion. 
It  Is  no  more  sad  thun  true  that  tbi.s  mlseoncop- 
tlou  goes  further  than  mere  ivords  and  that  pco- 
I)le  often  believe  tlieiuselves  possessed  by  one  of 
these  when.  In  fact,  It  Is  another  that  has  control 
of  them;  and  we  often  Hud  those  imlted  in  mar¬ 
riage  who  Icaru  too  late  that  they  have  been  ml^ 
taken  In  regard  to  their  own  leellng.s.  Many  be¬ 
lieve  their  emotions  and  actions  engendered  by 
far  dllTerent  causes  than  is  really  the  ease. 
Nature  has  irnplaniod  lu  the  sexes  a  tleslre  to 
mate  and  all  that  natni'o  does  la  to  urge  on  the 
mating  without  regard  to  propriety  or  litness. 
Nature's  end  and  aim  in  all  life,  whether  vegeta¬ 
ble  or  animal.  Is  Ueproduetlou ;  and  reason,  Judg¬ 
ment  and  the  whole  lutolloet  which  should  be 
brought  to  boar  on  the  iiuesMon  of  the  choice  of  a 
partner  for  life,  Is  often  overborne  by  this  natural 
desire.  When  this  Is  done,  the  result  can  but  be 
evil ;  for  on  a  proper  dlreei  lon  and  control  of  thl.s 
desire  depends  more  than  the  future  happlues.s  of 
those  maxing,  ft  behooves  them  then,  to  uuder- 
stand,  If  possible,  what  love  Is— “  Love  that  anni¬ 
hilates  all  time  and  spaoe,  all  doctrines  and  creeds, 
iill  forms  and  iirejudlceo”— love  that  Is  full  and 
completxj— auil  they  xvlll  come  ki  know  that  it  Is 
not  strojigesi  lu  pursuit. 
It  Is  often  and  ti’uly  said  that  LUc  llrsi/  yexir 
of  married  life  Is  the  most  trying.  It  In  this 
year  that  the  parties  flret  become  really  acquaint¬ 
ed  with  each  other’s  faults  and  foibles  and.  If  they 
truly  love,  to  look  lenleutly  upon  them;  for  mar¬ 
riage  does  u'li  always  bring  out  Uie  bright  side  of 
character.  J.ecky  says,— “The  beautiful  anef> 
tlons  which  had  before  been  latent  are  evoked  in 
some  purtlculur  forms  of  uiUon,  while  others 
arc  parilcularly  flttodin  deaden  the  alToctloiis 
and  preserve  the  character. 
one  seldom  II nds  a  wedded  mate  the  same  as 
Imagination  has  pictured.  The  deslro  to  mato 
blinds  one  to  deleet-s  of  character  obvious  to  oth¬ 
ers,  xvhlle  regard,  esteem  and  afrocllon  magnify 
virtues  t()  such  an  c.vu-ut  that  l.ho  chosen  one  ap¬ 
pears  as  near  perfection  as  possible.  W'hen  this 
glamour  is  retnoved  by  thu  knowledge  gained 
from  the  experience  of  everyday  life  and  the  imr- 
tics  appear  to  each  other  in  their  true  colors,  It  Is 
sometimes  the  case  that  the  steps  taken  are  re¬ 
gretted  and  It  Is  found  that  desire  and  not  love 
has  fostered  tho  union. 
That  an  object  for  the  possession  of  which  xve 
have  striven  eartieslly  ottfui  proves  valueless.  Is 
true.  W'e  grasp  at  tin  jipparcnt  reallt.y  and  Had 
only  a  shadow ;  and  xvhen  we  awaken  to  a  knowl¬ 
edge  of  tho  truth  and  Ilnd  that  what  we  havi!  Is 
not  that  xvlilch  Wiis  .sought,  love  can  lind  lUcxe  no 
resting  place.  It  is  an  utter  Impossibility.  Hut 
the  po.sseasion  of  that  which  Is  worthy  of  love  in¬ 
creases  Its  Intensity  until,  at  last,  It  comes  to 
reach  tlmt  completeness  that  can  be  attained 
only  in  the  mairlage  relation. 
A  true  and  abiding  friendship  is  worthy  of  our 
highest  encuralmus.  Wherever  It  exists  It  should, 
If  possible,  be  chei-lshed  aud  retained.  But  It  Is 
less  than  love  which  overshadows  aud  embraces 
It.  There  can  be  no  love  without  friendship, 
but  friends  are  not  ueeessaj'ily  lovei’S.  NVitb 
friendship  abldeth  faith nnd hope;  butagi'eater 
than  these  Is  Love,  which  “  beareth  all  things, 
belleveth  all  things,  hopeth  all  things,  endureth 
all  things."

HOW  TO  TELL  YOUR  AGE. 
TiiEHE  Is  a  good  deal  of  amusement  In  tho  fol¬

you  to  tell  how  old  the  young  ladles  are.  Just 
hand  this  table  to  a  young  Indy  nnd  request  her 
to  tell  you  In  which  column  or  colximns  her  ago  Is 
contained;  add  togethxir  Hus  figures  at  the  top  of 
tho  columns  In  which  her  ivgc  is  found  and  you 
have  the  groat,  secret.  Thus,  suppose  her  ago  to 
be  seventeen,  you  will  find  that  number  In  tho

these  two  columns.  Hero  is  tho  magic  table : 
THE  PHILOSOPHY  OF  AFTER  MARRIAGE. 
“  You  love  me  no  longer,”  said  a  bride  of  a  few 
months  to  her  bettor  half  In  bis  goxvn  and  sllp- 
pei-s,  “Why  <10  you  say  that.  Puss?"  he  asked, 
(lulelly  removing  a  cigar  from  hts  Ups.  “  You  do 
not  caress  mo  nor  call  mo  pet  names ;  you  no 
longer  seek  so  anxiously  for  my  company,"  wa.s 
the  tearful  answer. 
“  My  dear,”  contlnuiid  the  aggravating  wretch, 
“did  you  aver  notice  a  man  running  after  a  car  7 
How  he  does  run!  over  stones,  through  mud,  re- 
gardlfjss  of  everything  till  he  reaches  the  car  and 
ho  sle/es  hold  and  swlug.s  on.  Then  he  quietly 
Beats  blrnaolf  and  reads  his  paper.” 
“  And  what  does  this  mean?” 
"An  illustration,  my  dear.  Tho  car  is  as  im¬ 
portant  to  tho  man  after  he  gota  In  as  when  ho  Is 
(diastng  It,  but  tho  manifestation  Is  no  longer 
called  for.  T  xvould  have  shot  any  ono  who  put

UNCLE  TRUE  RISES  TO  EXPLAIN.  j 
Ma'  Dear  Neice.s  and  Nefiiews:— Did  It  ever  ■ 
occur  to  you  to  ask  why  t  he  Red  Sea  xvas  so  call-  i 
od?  When  1  was  your  age  t.ho  (luestloii  gave  me 
no  little  trouble,  and  it  was  a  long  lime  bct<5rc  my  ' 
curiosity  was  satislled,  as  in  tlios<5  tar-off  days 
Science  xvas  a  mere  child  like  my  self.  My  teacher 
told  ma  11  wa.s  rc<l  because  It  was - rod  1  With 
'  this  I  bad  to  bo  content.  What  will  you  say  when 
1  Hill  you  tho  color  Is  due  to  the  presence  or  In- 
flnlto  numbers  of  a  small  plant— .so  small  that  In

It’s  their  great  number  spreading  over  and  be¬

But  how  count  BO  small  a  thing?  That  1  will  toll

a  containing  Intusorla  under  his  microscope,  aud 
then  anotiicr  drop  of  water  colored  with  carmine 
I,  close  by.  They  wore  brought  together  with  the 
point  of  a  Docdle ;  tho  little  beasts  sel'zod  their 
t  food  with  tentacles,  and  as  they  were  transparent 
.-  tte  course  coidd  bif  observed  on  Its  way  to  a 
K  stomach.  And  wliattliHik  you  they  gorged  them- 
c  selves  on;  why  animals  even  smaller  than  them- 
1,  selves!  It  Ls  mentally  Impossible  lor  ua  to  con- 
0  cclvo  such  miniature  life.  I  should  be  afraid  to 
n  tell  you  that  even  these  creatures  are  attacked  by 
h  par.asltes  who  burrow  aud  re-create  lu  the  vitals 
i-  of  the  Infusoria.  But  the  amusing  part  Ls  that  It
