to be caught, though the girl Is passable. Tn an¬

old Mrs. Moneybags is working with all her might 
and main to entrap him for her dear little pet, 
Florry, who has been in the market those six 
years, but that he Is above falling a victim to such 
petty wiles as hers. 
As he has these hursts of confidence pretty fre¬ 
quently, It Is to he presumed that the number of 
his conquests Is correspond! ngly great. The pain 
that his Indifference causes does not hurt him. 
The fact that he Is considered to have behaved 
with abominable meanness In half-a-dozen cases, 
does not concern him. Indeed, ho thinks It the 
finest thing In creation to flirt with a girl until 
the chase becomes too hot., and then, when she 
has succumbed to the magic of his influence, to 
suddenly drop her and betake himself to other 
sweets. 
Such Is the gallant bachelor. Is It worth while 
for the rising generation to make a model of lilm? 
There are one or two considerations which may 
prevent people from thinking so. Even he has Ms 
day. When people hnd that he will not many, 
and that he Is getting on In years, t hey gradually

fragments, the glow of tlie ancient splendor show-

ty, once surrounded by this belt of rare and deli¬ 
cate workmanship, which retains to-day the con¬ 
tour of the form It encircled. Is dust of the old 
Island of Cyprus, and the metal zone Is almost 
dust, as well.— Wm. C. /‘rune. 
Pope, sinned largely In the same direction them¬ 
selves. Calvin burned Srrvetls, and Luther 
admitted t he right of the government to interfere 
In matters of religious belief. 
So early as 1350 we find Wici.tK In England de¬ 
nying the authority of t.he Pope, and asserting 
that censures of ecclesiastics were of no effect 
unless they accorded with the will of God. uphold¬ 
ing the validity of private judgment, and teach¬ 
ing that “ Gnn hlndet.h not men to believe any¬ 
thing they cannot understand.” By translating 
the Bible Into English, he raised a power against 
the Pope that, has never been put down, and un¬ 
doubtedly gave the Impulse to the Reformation 
which followed In years after. But the growth 
was slow, and although many were Impressed 
with the palpable errors of the Church, leaders 
were wanting to organize them, la 1542 John 
Knox of Edinburgh became an avowed and out¬ 
spoken reformer. Many of his acquaintances had 
embraced the Ideas of Calvin, and be, uniting 
the Calvanlstic creed with the Presbyterian sys¬ 
tem, established the Presbyterian Church of Scot¬ 
land. 
Gradually t he English commons became repre¬ 
sented In Parliament by men favoring the Prot¬ 
estant party, and when Hbnry VIII., enraged 
because the Pope would not consent to Ms di¬ 
vorcing Catherine, withdrew Ms allegiance to 
the Papal Power, the clergy were compelled to 
acknowledge him as the only supremo head of 
the Church in England. 
Bui, while the power of tho Pope was denied, 
the authority of t he Church was upheld, and the 
King’s hostility to Protestantism was as bitter as 
ever. The Pope commended him for Ills sound¬ 
ness of belief, while he anathematized 1dm for

As when life’s innoornt heart first learned to beat 
To the low tunes, divinely wild and sweet.

Like song upon the laugorous lips of -Tune. 
A COWHIDING STORY 
A recent cowhiding scrape In which a New 
York lawyer Hgures, has for lt,s basis the terrible 
consequences which result from a young and 
willful girl having her own way. For two years 
past, the only daughter of a wealthy man has 
been a central 11 gum tn fashionable New York 
society. She was not twenty years old, and was 
heiress to a large fortune. Of course she was 
courted, flattered, followed. She organized a 
“ coterie,” of which she was made President. She 
received the attention of foreigners, and was the 
envied of her set. 
But one morning last winter the Intelligence 
came, like a shock, t hat she was married, had been 
married a year, and to a worthless young fellow 
scarcely older than herself poor, but already a 
drunkard and gambler. The marriage ceremony 
was performed at the Mayor’s ofllee, tho Infatu¬ 
ated girl having been made to believe that, this 
was only a civil contract and did not constitute a 
real mart I ago, and that she could disavow It at. 
the end of a year, during which time It was to be 
kept a profound secret. Before t.he year expired, 
however, the husband grew jealous, threatened, 
mid Anally claimed her, treating her parents with 
the moBt Impertinent rudeness, and, to her hor¬ 
ror, the unhappy girl found himself l ied to a por- 
son without ordinary decency or manhood. 
Probably a divorce would have been obtained 
had It not boon for the Interference of the rela¬ 
tives or the young man (his family is a respectable 
one), who finally prevailed upon the parents of 
tho girt to extend a, sort of sanction to the mar¬ 
riage, which they did by Issuing invttattons^to a 
grand party, to which flOO guests were Invited, of 
whom r.u only were present. A house was bought 
and furnished by the father or the bride. The 
other day tho mother called, found that her 
daughter had been struck and bra. ten, aurl was 
herself summarily ordered down stairs and out 
of the house by hor scapegrace son-in-law, who, 
mad with drink and rage, himself put her out, 
and told her never to darken Ms doors again. 
The next day he was cowlildcd In the street by 
an indignant nephew of his mother-in-law and 
cousin or his wife. The cousin was held to ball 
for tho assault. So much for a secret and hasty 
marriage.

THE GALLANT BA0HEL0B 
The gallant bachelor! Let us Introduce him to 
our readers. Ho la Hill and portly. Ills ago may 
he anything between thirty and forty. Hts coun¬ 
tenance Is smiling and self-satlsfled. The gar¬ 
ments which he wears are perfect In cut, and the 
quality of their material Is excellent. There Is 
money in Uls pocket and there are rings on Ms 
Ungers. A massive gold chain dangles In front of 
his waistcoat, and diamond studs glitter upon 
festive occasions In his shirt front,, lie may 
be found in the stalls of popular theaters. At. 
Ms club he sips the best, wine and smokes the 
choicest cigars. Perhaps you would like to have 
an explanation of all this. The reason Is simple. 
When we repeal, Ms oft-reiterated declaration that 
ho Is not a marrying man wo have given It. lie 
has successfully steered Ms hark amid the shoals 
and quicksands of society, and Is now so accom¬ 
plished a mariner that no one supposes t hat he 
will ever suffer shipwreck. The feat which he 
has performed Is a great one, and he Is proud of 
It. Ho dwells upon his cleverness and prudence 
with unctions satisfaction, lie holds himself up 
as an example for young men to imitate. Ho 
laughs contemptuously at the poor fools who 
have yielded to feminine fusel nations and burden¬ 
ed themselves with the care of wives and'"house¬ 
holds. As he puts It, his object In life Is to make 
himself completely comfortable, and no does so. 
On the other hand, married men, as he also puts 
It, don’t. You cannot, gull Min with the argument 
that it Is easier for a man to keep himself and a 
wife than himself only, and he tolls you so with 
many scornful lauglis. 
Tt must not bo understood, however, that lie 
holds tho female sex In contempt. Tho gallant 
creature floats upon It. He rollows It from place 
to place. There Is scarcely a ball-room in which 
NO SECRETS 
The moment a girl has a secret, from her mother, 
or has received a letter she flare not let her 
mother read, or has a friend of whom her mother 
floes not know, she Is in danger. A secret Is not 
a good tbl ng tor a gl rl to have. The fewer secrets 
Unit lie In the hearts of women at any age, tho 
better. It Is almost a Lest of purity. She who 
has none of her own Is best and happiest. In 
girlhood, hide nothing from your mother; do 
nothing that, If discovered by your father, would 
make you blush. Have no mysteries whatever. 
Tell those who are about yon where you go and 
what, you do. Those who have t he right to know, 
1 mean, of course. The girl who frankly says to 
her mother: “ I have been there. T met, so and 
so. Such and such remarks were made, and this 
or that was done, 1 will be certain of receiving 
good advice and sympathy. It all was right no 
fault w|H be found. If the mother knows, out. of 
greater experience, that something was Improper 
or unsuitable, she will, It she Is a good mother, 
kindly advise against Its repetition. It is when 
mothers discover that tlielr girls are htdlng things 
from them that they rebuke or scold, innocent 
faults are always pardunud by a kind parent. You 
may not know, girls, Just what Is right, Just what 
Is wrong, yet. You can’t ho blamed for making 
little mistakes; but you will never do anything 
wrong ll, from tho ilrst, you have no secrets from 
your mother. 
era, to uu extent at least; hut t,tm supporters or 
the Church, at home and abroad, conspired 
against her, and she, to rotulu her own power, 
abandoned the Protestants to their late and 
called the friends of the Church to her support. 
The Thlrty-nlno Articles of Faith were adopted; 
but as the act required only assent as to the sac¬ 
rament and confession of faith, the Puritans con¬ 
sidered It a point galued for them and look cour¬ 
age. They did not desire separation from the 
Church, but rather to reform or purify It; but 
when the orders for all to conform to the act, were 
made, R was found that many objected and es¬ 
tablished a congregation for themselves. 
Henry VtU. denied the power of the Pope over 
the Church in hla dominions. Eliza hktii had 
placed the Anglican Church on an Independent 
footing. And now the Puritans claimed equality 
for their clergy with those of the Cburolt, while 
the Independents claimed liberty of the Individ¬ 
ual to llnd for blmself the “ t ruth In the Word of 
Goij,” and denounced the Church us Idolatrous 
and at enmity with truth. 
When .1 a « ks came to the throne It. was expected 
he would favor the Reformation, it was known 
that he had been Inclined to accept Calvinism as 
presented by the Scotch Presbyterians; bat the 
Church favored aristocracy and monarchy, while 
Puritanism was lrom its nature democratic. Be 
consequently gave In Ms allegiance to the Church 
and decided to have but one doctrine, one disci¬ 
pline, and one religion, and to that religion all 
must and should conform. But the House of 
Commons favored the sect which they thought 
stood bet ween the people and despotism. 
The King commanded that the Reform era should 
he silenced, and then commenced the war between 
King and people. Many submitted to power, but 
a few determined splrlis resolved never to yield, 
and with their minister, John Robinson, fled to 
Holland, becoming Pilgrims for conscience sake. 
Not saUelled In Holland, a part of them determin¬ 
ed that H would be belter to brave the dangers of 
the Wilderness In America than to remain where 
mere was no prospect of a brighter future for 
them and their children, and after a perilous pas¬ 
sage in the May Flower, they landed on Plymouth 
Rock Dee. 22 , Hilo, These were the PtigTlm fath¬ 
ers, the flrsL Puritans In New England. 
The many who remained In England found It, 
useless to strive against a superior power; and 
although their numbers constantly Increased and 
their faith wavered not, they were compelled to 
silence. In 1 ( 12 ? a charter from the King was ob¬ 
tained, and also title to the territory three miles 
south of (he CharleB River and three miles north 
of the Merrltnac. 
In 1628 Endicott was sent over with a party as 
its Governor, and settled at and about Salem, 
The King now thought It would be to Ms advan¬ 
tage to colonize New England, and gave a charter 
oonsUtiirlng the Governor and Company of Mas¬ 
sachusetts Bay, in New England, a body politic, 
the principles and foundation of which were, as 
he said, the freedom of liberty of conscience. 
In 1630 about TOO came with Winthroj*. These 
were Puritans also; but among them were many 
who did not agree wit h the strictest views of thdr 
loaders, but Inclined to the independents. They 
were not Conformists, but not Separatists. At 
this time the Plymouth Colony—lounded, as we 
have seen, by the Pilgrims which adjoined that of 
Massachusetts Buy on the south, numbered but 
BOO. Their numbers were soon increased by the 
arrival or others, aud the safety of \ he colonies 
was assured. From those and their successors 
have eventuated those doctrines and rules of life 
which, although somewhat harsh aud stern, were 
so full of wtsuom and truth us to be enduring; 
and tbclr Influence over the whole extent of our 
country Is easily seen at tho present time. 
ANCIENT ORNAMENTS OF CYPRIOT 
LADIES. 
They had delicious Ideas of taste and beauty, 
those Cypriot ladles of the olden time. We have 
never seen more beautiful jewelry than they 
wore. Their ear-rings were of a thousand forms. 
They wore necklaces In many shapes; and some 
of the ladles of ancient Kurlutn, when they wished 
to pay vows to the temple, by good luck gave 
their necklaces. We say by good luck, for It, hap¬ 
pens that they wore necklaces ot flue gold beads, 
of beads and agate, of alternate beads and drops 
or gold, of enamel, of heavy Unks of gold, awl of 
agates cut lo long shapes mounted wit h gold caps 
finely ornamented, and having agate pendants 
with gold setting. The children of those days 
seem to have worn tittle bracelets of delicate 
chain work, with a round gold button at the clasp. 
Objects In enamel are numerous, and cloisonne 
enamel was one of their favorite styles of orua- 
Tlioro Is a pair of heavy gold 
mentlng Jewelry 
bracelets on which tho gold hands forming the 
clolsons remain, but from which the enamel has 
disappeared. In fact, the enamel has mostly van¬ 
ished from all the specimens of olotsoune work, 
but In a few It remains In a disintegrated condi¬ 
tion, while In one of the gold necklaces Irom 
which the enamel has uearly vanished, one little 
fragment remains, giving tho clear, translucent 
glLul ot a vltrifled substance, and showing that 
the entire necklace must have shown once with 
r he luster of emeralds. A large pendant, set with 
an eye-llke ngale, Is a splendid specimen. 
And there are some things here In silver which, 
were they perfect, would ravish the eyes of our 
lady readers, and over which some of them who 
love old art will bend In delighted rapture. Those 
are sliver belts worn by the ladles of Cyprus In 
ancient years. 
Within the past year or two a fashion has pre¬ 
vailed among ladles tn America of wearing broad 
metallic belts or silver or ot her metal. Could an 
American lady possess one of these belts of Cyp¬ 
riot make in Its original freshness, or its fae-slm- 
lle, she would bn very happy. Delicately engraved 
In patterns, inlaid or overlaid with gold* they are 
exceedingly beautiful. From ft brief examination 
or some of these, we are struck with the Idea that 
when they were made silver was more precious 
than gold, and that the gold whteh shines out of 
them was used for color to set off t.Ue beautiful 
patterns In silver. 
Lo not Imagine, dear madam, from our account, 
that you will 3ee a shining silver belt, the zone of 
an ancient Venus, when you visit the museum. 
But you will see rows of rough, dark, ashy-looking
