“There used to be a—nephew —”
“Yes, I know—Charles Beverly;
'but lie went to Australia a year ago.
-At ten to-morrow, then, dear, 1 will
call for you.”
Doctor Smith creaked away in
‘those noisy boots of his, and .Kate
/Raymond wont up ntairK to pack her
trunk.
So Charles Beverly w cJi in Austra
lia. She had known tka® before; yet i
somehow she wanted 'the doctor’s
testimony to make assurance doubly
■sure, bhe was glad; yes, upon the
whole, she was very glad, Bhe knew
:sho had treated the honest, loving
young follow like a heartless coquette;
sue know she had half broken his
fond, faithful heart with her airs and
grimes and false smiles, once upon a
time.
“I should have been ashamed to
look him in the face,” she pondered;
“I am glad his aunt knows nothing
about it.”
And she sighed softly, to think
how entirely and radically her whole
nature had been changed in tho bitter
school of adversity.
“I *im meeker and quieter, now,”
sim thought; “I should not throw
the jewel of. hie love from me a second
lime; but he does not kuow.it —nor
■ever will. A woman can only, sit and
think what a blessing that we have
but one life to live. Perhaps jn tho
noxt world we may correct tho errors
of this.”
At 10 o’clock precisely the next
day Dr. Smith’s carriage came to the
door for Miss Raymond and her
trunk.
“Keep up good courage, my dear,”
said the kind-hearted old man. “Miss
Beverly is rather trying, they say;
hut sho has a heart, in spite of her
sixty years and old maidenhood, and
you will work your way to it after a
while.”
Kate hoped so; but sho could not
’help feeling a little discouraged when
Doctor Smith had left her alone in
the darkened room, with a pair of
green spectacles glaring at her from
one corner, and a pair of biuo ones
from the other.
“Shut tho door, if you please,
young Mias,” croaked the blue spec
tacles. “Drafts aro very bad for my
jsister’a asthma.
And put a few coals on the lire,
Miss Raymond, if that’s your name,”
squeaked the green spectacles. “The
temperature is altogether too low for
.my brother’s rheumatism."
Kate obeyed. It was well for her
that they had given her something to
,do, else she would h&ye burst out to
•crying-
The first day as companion was
ineffably wearisome. Patiently she
trudged up and down stairs, with the
macaw's cage, and squirrel’s house,
and tho spaniel's basket, and Miss
Beverly’s gruel, and the old bache
dor'tt .slippers; meekly she listened to
directions, and recipes, and ha
raugues without end, until her head
ached and her feet smarted, and her
•little hands tingled with the unwont
ed toil.
“And now/’ said Miss Revorly,
ju A as Kate was looking forward to
the refreshing possibility of a little
while to herself—possibly a delight
ful ten or lifteeu minutes' slumber—
“you may get Professor Drowsyhead's
Essays from the library, and read me
to sleep.”
“Yes, ma’am,” said Kate, feebly.
“.And if you should happen to hear
sno knore, you may read on just the
.same, ft would wake me up at once
if you were tp stop.
And Kate obeying orders read her
self nearly into congestion of -the
Brain.
The next day went harder still.
Nothing went right. Miss Beverly
seemed determined to be suited with
nothing that was done for her, and
the old bachelor growled a chorus to

her fauit findings.
“This gruel tastes very oddly, Miss
Raymond,, said the spinster. “J
no* believe the saucepan was scalded
bat ore you put the milk in it.”
“Yes ma'am, it was becaase ”
“Don’t contradict me. I can , fc
bear to be contradicted.”
“Don’t contradict my sister!’’
echoed the old bachelor; and Kate
subsided into a meek silence.
“And 1 don’t think Muff has been
properly washed, Miss Raymond—
with two tablespoonfuls of rosewater
in his bath.’’
“I forgof the rosewater admit
ted Kate, ingeniously; f ‘but ’’
“Forgot the rosewater?” shrieked
Mies Beverly, holding up both hands.

"And before you go up stairs,*
wish you would put those newspa
pers straight on tbo table. I can’t
bear to see thorn all crooked,” growled
Mr. Beverly.
Kate set the newspapers mathe
matically straight, changed the ob
noxious craped-trimmed dress, gave
Muif a second bath, with the regula
tion quantity of rose-water in it, and
p repared anew basin of gruel—and
evi m then Miss Beverly was not sat-
islit. and.
“I think the pairot has drooped

Are yt u sure .Y ou are not neglecting

“I try to do my best ma’am, but—”
“Don’t answer me,” groaned Miss
Beverly, w,Ui both hands uplifted in
front of him’. “If there’s anything
that upsets jny nervos it is being an
swered !”
Day after <Ky passed by in very
much the same style, and Kate Ray
mond grew palm 1 and quieter with
each revolving sun. At first her
proud spirit had .rebelled.
“I cannot eiadure it,” silo had
thought.
But then came the bitter remem
brance that she must endure it —that
she had neither homo nor friends to
flee to.
And when at the week’s end Miss
Priscilla Beverly paid the astounding
sum of ten shillings into Miss Ray
mond’s shrinking palm, she felt that
it, had indeed been hardly earned.
“There’s one good thing about you
Miss Raymond,” said the spinster,
parenthetically, as she counted out
the coin, “one quality that none of
my companions could over suit me
in; you have never got out of temper.
You’ve never lost yoqr patience the

used to hear a year or so ago, when
my nephew Charles was at home,

Kate colored, and the tears start
ed quickly to her deep brown eyes.
“No,” said the old bachelor in the
corner whose whole life seemed noth
ing more iuan an echo to Miss Bev
erly’s energetically opin
ions; “no Miss Raymond never gets
out of temper now.”
“J suppose I must L>o very much

went, on with her wearisome \;'ork of
stringing steel beads for a purse
which Miss Pricilla intended to man
nfacture some dsy, “and indeed I
hardly feel like tho same person that
I was ou my 18th birthday.’’
“How old aro you now,’’ asked Miss
Beverly.
“I was 20 last month.’*
“Humph, only 20! Well, I suppose
you’ll be getting married some day,
ami I shall lose my companion.’’
But Kate shook her head without
looking up.
“J shall never marry,’’ she said,
“nobody cares for van now.’’
“There James, I told you you’d
knock that vase off tho window seat
if you insisted on leaving it there,” la
moated Misi Beverly, as a sudd.-n
crash of breaking nhina interrupted
Kates voice. “Run Miss Raymond,
and don’t let the water soak into the
carpet, for pity’s sake 1 I don't see
how moir can be so careless.’’
And for once the old bachelor had
no excuse to plead for tiimiielf,,
“Miss Raymond,” he said in a low
hurried voice, when his sisters tem
porary absence had chanced to leave
them alone together half an hour or
so later, “you said a little while ago
that nobody cared for you. That was
a mistake.”
Rate looked up into his face with
surprise.
“My nephew (Lihafloo peverly cares
for you. He Ims never left off caring
for you. If he thought you would:
look kindly on him ones more——”
But Kate shock her head.
“I am euro you are wrong/’ she
said trying to steady her faltering
voice * “J treated him too capricious
ly and too unkindly, I think he did

have him know, some day, when he

who is worthy of him, that I loved
him better than he thought; that—
that —when I was coldest in my plan
ner my heart within me was most
tender. It is too late now to Pay
these things; and yet ”
“But it isn't too late' 1 interrupted
the old bachelor solemnly, rising out
of the chair, taking off his blue spec
tacles, behiud which sparkled a pair
of brilliant black eyes, removing the
rusty wig from a profusion of chest
nutbrown purls, and spurning the
wadded dressing gown from him with
a contemptuous motion.
Rato in great agitation rose to her
feet with a Lj cterip scream.
“Cnarles!”
“Is it too late, Kate ? This last
week lnm taught me how good, how
gentle and how patient you have
grown, and I love you better than I
did before. Cau you forgive me for
the ruse I practiced to learn whether
I might aspire once more to your
hand ?”
K:.ie Raymond said “No” at first,
but she said “Yes’’ afterward whan
Charles had convinced her of the per
feet propriety of his conduct.
, “And aid your aunt know ?’’

“It was she who insisted on it,
Kate. She wished to prove the tem
per Bhe had heard was so fickle and
uncertain.”
“And she’s perfectly satisfied,”
sounded the spinster’s voice behind
them. “Well, well, I see I shall have
to look out for anew companion,
Charles.”
And the old lady’s wedding pres
ent to Miss Raymond was a set of
diamonds that a queen might have
worn.
THE WINSHIP IRON WORKS.
Manofsctnren of Wiiuhtp’9 Cotton Gin
Anil Cotton Presses,
|N. o. Times and Journal of Commorco.j
Messrs. Winship & Bro. are the
proprietors of the above justly cele
brated iron works, which the citi
zens of Atlanta can and do feel a just
pride in having in her midst, for not
only the city but the entire South
reaps a benefit from this great enter
prise. Having frequently heard of
J h§ cotton gins and presses made by
them, acfc * on “early every planta-
tion in South they may be seen,
attd w3 quite naturally sought an
interview \7.hich was cheerfully ac
corded us. These works were estab
lished as fat pack as 1853, by the
father of the owners, and
was successfully conducted by him
until 18G I J, when he decided to re
tire, and his sons purchasing the
entire concern, have since, we are
glad to say, continued the business
with most gratifying success. Their
speciality is the Cotton Gin and
Press, both of which are constructed
on the most approved plans and
guaranteed to be fully equal to rep
resentations. They are so well known
generally, that it would be impossi
ble for us to add any additional tes
timonials, any further than to say,
while they are selling Gins at largely
reduced prices, (as compared with
others of first-class make) in con
formity to the requirements of tha
times, they still keep them fully up,
if not superior tp their former ex
cellenee’of material and linish. They
are prepared to manufacture six
Gins per day, or at the rate of oigh
teen hundred to two thousand an
nually, should the business require
it, and will be able to supply all who
may favor them with orders.
Every part of this Gin is manufac
lured at their establishment, from
the raw material, and under their
personal supervision. Each Gin is
run before it lea ve£ i the factory, all
tbo parts being properly adjusted,
and none is allowed to be sent out
that does not run perfectly; in fact,
the “Winship Gin” in constructed so
substantially, and so perfectly, that
it is easily managed, ives no trouble
to the giuney, |uq. tR OS break
the roll. ’ We hive often been told
by planters that they have ginned
out their entire crop with out having
the Gin to once break the roll, Feed
ing tbes fast and heavy does not
make them spew, and there can be
no Gin which runs lighter, according
to the amount of work performed.
They will bear a higher spoed, with
out injuring the cotton, than other
Q-ius. * They claim that they wifi do
move work in a given time than any
other Gin in the market, and at the
same time clean seed as well, and
make as good sample, which has been
repeatedly proven in public. They
have an experience of more than
twenty years in the manufacture and
improvement of Cotton Gins, and
haye added such improvements,
from year to year, ac have suggested
themselves, and have proved to be
good when put into practice. They
offer nothjug to their customers until
it has been thoroughly tested, and
proven to bo useful. They have re
cently made improvement in their Gin
Brushes, whereby they are stronger,
more perfectly balauced, and by the
largely increased amount of pure
bristles which they are now putting
in them, do insure a first-class sam
ple of cotton. No planter could or
does expect a more liberal offer, and
they are fully aware that a cheap ar
ticle in this line, or in fact, any oth
er, usually proves a dear bargain in
the end.
The Winship Patent Wrought
Iron Screw Cotton Press is acknowl
edged by all interested to be the
most reliable, powerful and economi
cal of all the varjous devices now
before the public for pressing cotton,
and in order that the very desirable
quality—durability—may be secured,
it is necessary for it to bo made of
the best wrought iron: the east iron
screw having in all eases proven to
be unreliable. They have had large
exuerience in the manufacture and
sale of Cotton Presses, and their ob
ject has been to get up a cheap and
simple press, and at the same time
one that is adapted to v/o/k by any
kind of power, or in any place; and
last, but not least, a Labor-Saving
Machine. All this they claim to
have accomplished in the Winship
Press, They have made large sales
of them the last three seasons, under
full guarantee, all of which gave per
fect' satisfaction, nor has a single
word of complaint been heard irom
any of them; on the contrary, all
have praised them in the highest
terms. In fact, the/e is no press
that can approach it for convenience
in putting in the cotton from the
Gin, nor for bailing and removing
the bale after it is pressed.
While their main business is cen
tered upon the above, it does not by
any means include all of their pro
ductions, as they are fully prepared
to manufacture grist mills, saw mills,
horse powers and sorghum mills, or
furnish castings or wrought iron
work, in parts, fur of the above
named machinery, at short notice
and in the most satisfactory manner,
both as regards prices and quality of
work. Their works are on
foundry street, the various build
ings and lumber yards covering fully
21 acres of ground, and some fifty
skilled mechanics are constantly em
ployed. Their past honorable record
and life-long services in the business,
certainly renders them entitled to be
tho recipients of present prosperity,
and any that the future may have in
store.
GRANT’S PLAN.
How lit was to Arrest Tiltlen and Inau
gurate Civil War.
1 . Mr. John F. Mines, of Utica, New
York, says that some time ago he
, held a confidential conversation wiih
General Stewart L. Woodford, Uni
ted States attorney for the southern
district of New York—■ a conversa
tion so important that he immediate
ly jotted it down for future use. The
timo having now come to use it, in
his judgment, he sends it to the New
York World, which printed it Thurs
day.
Gen. Woodford stated that in the
spring of 1877, while the presidential
question was unsettled, he was in
structed by President Grant to sum
marily arrest Tilden if he dared take
the oath of office of President of the
United States, and that all the ar
rangements were made by Woodford
with Seoretary Robeson for placing
gunboats in position to shell the citj
of New York, and soldiers in th %.
Custom House, Post Office an 1
Treasury building, to prevent thei,
being seized, as was alleged thef
to bo threatened. Gen. Woodfort
says:
In regard to my acceptance of tht*
district attorneyship, I can explain
that by letting you into the secret of
a little bit of history which may as
tonish you, as it certainly would as
tonish the quiet citizens of New
York. You know how much excite
ment attended the decision of the
electoral commission that Mr. Hayes
had been elected president in place
of Mr. Tilden. The air was imme
diately filled with rumors of armed
resistance to the decision of the com
mission. Jfc was openfy stated that
in all the democratic States bodies
of men were being marshalled and
drilled for revolution. Threats were
made here and at other points that 1
Mr. Tilden would be inaugurated on
the 4th of March in spite of Grant
and his army, that the Custom
Houses would be seized to create a
revenue, and that the democratic
president would be seated by a grand
popular uprising. * * * *
I bnow that .president Grant and
his advisers were muph afraid of the
result, But Grant, though he was
anxious, never hesitated aOout the
course he was to pursue. He had
determined to use every soldier and
sailor and gqu at his oonjnaand to
put down anything like a democratic
rebellion.
If it had been anybody but Grant
who stood in the way ? Tilden plight
have been inaugurated and have got
ten possession of tbo revenues in
spite of congress and the electoral
commission. When the rumors of
possible trouble first got afloat, the
‘•resident, decided that it wap to
nave a soldier in this office, some
body who had smelt ppwder and,
would not bo afraid of a, Now Youl,
mob. I was sent for to
and there consulted wRh the presi
dent and cabinet and his military
advisers in regard to the situation,
Grant told me frankly that there
might be trouble here; that he was
seriously anxious in view of the great
irritation of the public mind that if
there was qn attempt at revolution
the blame might be laid at his door,
and that he was determined to se
cure the inauguration of Mr. Hayos
at all hazards. * * *
The danger was real; I can assure
you of that. I believe that during
the month that closed the admiuis
; ration of Grant and opened that of
Hayes, the country stood on the
brink of a civil war more terrible
than > bat which we passed through,
and it would have drenched the
whole North in blood. If Mr. Til
den had listened to his more oner
getic advisers and insisted on at
tempting to assume the reins of gov
ernment, we should have had war iu
these streets. * * * *
But you have asked what !. intended
to do iu ease Mr. Tildon attemted to
carry out his coup d'etat and had
himself inaugurated on the City Half
steps or elsewhere jn this city. My
orders and intentions were to seize
him at once under a warrant charg
ing him with high treason, to convey
him secretly and securely on board
a government vessel lying in the East
river, and ship him to Rort Adams
or some other secure point, where he
could undergo his trial, The first
thing that anybody knew of it he
would have disappeared, and the
suddenness of the plow would haye
either disheartened his followers and
taught them a salutary lesson of re
spect for the law, or it would have
been the first blow of a terrific con ;
fiict between the law and its viola
tors.
“Do you really believe, General, it
would have been possible to avreßt
Mr. Tilden ?
I don’t believe it—l know it. Of
course it could not be done by call
ing out the regulars from Governor’s
Island and marching them up to
Gramercy Park, but it would have
been done so quietly and effectively
that all resistance would have come
too late. Just as sure as he had
dared to take the oath of office he
would have been whirled through
these streets aud landed in a gun
boat. When he had got through
with his trial for treason he would
have been sick of playing president.
While 1 was in Washington I had a
long talk with Secretary Robeson on
the subject, and we made all the ar
rangements for the use of his boats
and men not only to secure Tilden,
but to overawe the mob by the gun
boats and to shell them out if neces*
sary. Under our pians any resist
ance by Mr. Tilden would have been
utterly impossible. As for the Cus
tom House aud Bub Treasury, they
were prepared for resistance, and
could have been strengthened by a
sudden reinforcement of regulars so
as to resist any mob. Regulars and
marines inside the walls and shell or
two outside would have scattered an
attacking party like chaff. * *
* * Troops were quietly drawn
from the west and south and massed
at Washington, Fort McHenry and
in our harbor, and you will remem
ber that Gomplaiut was made in
democratic newspapers about this
matter aud about the gunboats at
Washington and New York. Re
publican newspapers laughed at it,
of course, and most people did not
know what to believe. If they had
known how close the truth was their
fears might have brought about the
catastrophe. In that event the navy
could have attended to the Atlantic
cities, but a rising at the West would
have been even worse.in reality than
in the anticipation. * * ’* *
Without violating confidence I may
state that Grant, Sherman, Sheridan,
and other military men were out
spoken in their opinion that the
army ought to be iised for repressive
measures, though Sherman frankly
expressed some doubt in respect to
the democratic tendencies of the rank
and file.
Of course the navy was at the dis
posal of Secretary Robeson, and it
couldjbe relied on under all circum
stances, At this most, critical time
our lepublican politicians were divi
ded in their counsels. It sounds
queei to say it, but all our fears
were centered in the North, and all
our troubles were about the attitude
of Northern politicians. In case a
second rebellion began simultaneous
ly at Washington and New York, it
was feared that it would extend at
once to every Northern city where
the democrats had a majority. This
might interfere with coming elections
and presidential prospects you see.
This was just what Senator Conk
ling had specially feared, but he fi
nally sided with Grant and Sherman
You see it might have specially trans
ferred the seat of the contest to this
State. You may smile, but, as I have
said, the fear was genuine, and there
was reason for it.
When the contest was narrowing
down in the electoral commission to
Louisiana, Senator Conkiing was
more and more disturbed, and grew
nervous oyer the idea of committing
himself to a vote that might embroil
himself and his State. You know it
was said at the time that he intended
to make a speech in the senate in
favor of giving the electoral vote of
Louisiana to Tilden. I never had
any doubt on the point myself and
told him so; while be admitted the
necessity of prompt and vigorous ac
tion at Now York in case any oppo
sition was made here to the inaugu
ration of Mr. Hayes. It is curious
that, at the time J of. I was jn
favor of extreme, radical measures in
regard to the while Senator
Conkiing seemed to favor conserva
tive action. have Ghanged
somewhat since then—or else the
men have changed—for now the
senator is an intensely radical re
publican, while I indorse the policy
of Mr. Hayes with my whole heart,”

Visifiug; the Sick,
/ Nothing requires more care, judg
ment and circumspection, says' the
■ New York Tbffes, tfian the simple act
of visiting tire sick room. A capital
book could be written ou this subject
warning people of the dangers of be
ing brusque and stupid. There
ought never to be more than one
spare chair in a sick room, says an
authority, and nurse who knows what
she is abqnt woqld do well to place
an ice pitcher on that chair, so that
no one could sit In it. The most ab
surd thing a person can do who calls
on a sick man or woman is tq refer
back to something which in their im
agination, was the cause of this ill
ness, “the cucumbers of last week or
the soft crabs of the week before.”
Religious admonitions, a delicate
point, though they may save the soul
sometimes, if carelessly administered
certainly hurt the body. Mr. Finch
ley, who has wrjtten a careful book,
which he calls “Notes on the Care of
the Sick,” says that he looks with
disgust cm the person who speaks to
the patient as if the illness was a dis
tinct punishment for some grevious
sin," and follows it up by Bending
some hook, with a note containing
these words: “I hope you will prayer
fully study this little hook which I
send yqu/’’ Doctors themselves of
ten act in exact contradiction to tueir
theories. “J must insist on the most
perfect quiet in the bouse; have the
children moved to a room below, and
avoid all noise,” says Esculapius.
Then the physician goes down stairs
quietly enough, but in ifie hall for
gets all about the patient for he clo
ses the front door with a loud bang,
and, instead of moving off softly
with his horse and wagon, rattles his
equipage all he can over the cobble
stones. Doctors sometimes are asi
much at fault as visitors in a sick
room.

A Ruse Proposition,
A Detroiter who has the reputation
of being hard pay was waited on the
other day by a man who began:
“Mr. Blank, I hold your note for
wanted to gee what you would do
about it.”
“My note? Ah! yes, yes, tins is
my note. For value received I
promise pay, and so forth. Have
yoti been to the note-shavers with
this ?”
“I have, but none of them would
have it ?”
“Wouldn’t eh ? Aud you tried the
banks?”
“yes sir. They woi+ldn t look at
it.”
“Wouldn’t eh ? And I suppose
you went to a justice to see about su
ing it?”
“I did, but he said a judgment
wouldnff be worth a dollar.”
“Did, eh? And now what propo
sition do you wish to make ?”
“This is your note for $75. Give
me $5 and you can have it.”
“Five dollars ! No, sir ! No sir !
I have no money to throw away,
sir!’’
“But it is your own note.’ 1
“True sir, very true, but I’m not
such an idiot as to throw away mon
ey on worthless securities, no matter
who signs them. I deal only in first
class paper sir, and when that note
has a negotiable value I will be pleas
ed to discount it. Good day, sir—

Pleasant and good manners must

Know Thyself.
There is not a human frame upon
eartu that is not by an inexorable
iaw predisposed to some hereditarv
disease, and the knowledge most to
be sought for is, how to modify or
altogether eradicate such tenden
cies.
The ignorance of the masses with
regard to the scieuce of medicine and
the phenomena of disease is truly
wonderful. People of intelligence
and education in all other sciences
and subjects are literally in rfie dark
regarding their own organization or
physical requirements.
To the family physician is left the
entire matter as blindly and devout
ly as the most unlettered boor does
the immortality and future disposi
tion of his soul to the priest.
The physician may be incompetent
or dishonest; one whose only aim is
to reduce yourself or family to a state
ql invalidism and make his occupa
tion more lucrative, and you never
the wiser. The doses you swallow
may be the subtlest of poisons, each
containing death or the seeds of dis
ease, and yet you drift on in the in
fatuation of ignorance.
Strange that men who would re
sent the slightest implication that
they were not capable of thinking for
themselves upon religious, political
and other great scientific questions
of the day, should persist in igno
ranee of the greater one of physics,
and continue to violate by grossest of
ignorance, all the laws of health.
1 robably the root of the matter
lies in the mistaken zeal of the facul
ty, who, for the honor of medicine,
use mystery and concealment with
regard to human ills and the neces
sary remedies, causes and antidotes;
giving technical and befogging names
for the simplest things, and which
one lacks the courage to demand in
the plainest of Saxon.
But we dare predict the dawning
of a brighter day, that with the ad
vancement of the age and the grow
ing intelligence, all classes will learn
to know’ themselves and not trust
blindly to others.
Proper food, pure air, exercise and
ablation, are the main essentials to
perfect health, or to the restoration
of a diseased body, and those who
disregard or make an improper use
of e ßher of these, must pay the pen
aily by the pain which leads to decay
aud death.
Ron Ingersoll’s Tender Heart,
Recently someone in conversation
with the tender hearted Bob, said:
“Mr. Ingersoll suppose you should
lose one qf your daughters ?” He
turned pale aud answered quickly:
“Heaven forbid such a calamity!”
"Gh, said the lady, “you don’t be
lieve m Heaven; but if one of your
clear children should die would there
not he some comfort in the belief
that you would see that child again ?
Even the thought of death to one of
his beloved household was so fraught
with agony that he refused to contin
ue the conversation. In a conversa
tion which I had with him about two
months ago; I asked him if he had
ever read Hugh Miller, and especial
ly his “Testimony of the Rocks,” He
said he had, and spoke of Hugh
Miller’s insanity sud suicide. I told
him that I thought that Hugh’s ac
count of the Noachian Deluge far
more plausible than his lecture on the
subject, I added that I never heard
any of his lectures, but I had read
tho reports of them To my great
surprise I found that he wus not
satisfied with his own theories, but
that, h iving lost the anchor of faith,
ho doubted everything in science as
well as the Bible, He read every
thing on every subject, and told me
how weary arid unsatisfied he was.
He said he was tired of books, tired
of reading newspapers, and really
seemed to bo ready to declare there
was much weariness in knowledge.
When we discussed a God, he said
that if the Christian God punished
evil and rewarded good, he could
more readily accept Him, but that
we constantly saw the reverse. He
said much agaius’ lives of wickedness
and death bed repentances, in which
he could not believe.

The Celestial Empire tells of a
Chinaman who has lived among the
Miaotz, and giv s a curious account
of their love-njakiug. \ynen the pa
rents of a lad and girl think that a
match between their children will be
suitable, the latter are directed to
mount each a hillock distant a hun
dred paces or so one from the other.
Erom the summit the girl sings or
chants, and, when she has finished,
the lad responds in suitable langu
age. The parents then ask the
daughter if the youth’s aong recipro
cates her sentiments. If she says
“yes,” he is asked whether be willl
take her or no. If he declines, both
parties must begin all over again on
some other occasion.
Few men respect girls who rre
ready to be wooed. The custom
prevalent among a certain class of
young ladies of askiug directly or in
directly the attentions of young gen
tlemen, is not an admirable custom-
A lady said to me, not long since:
“My son is much prejudiced against
a young girl whom I admire, because
she is constantly sending him notes,
inviting him to be her escort here
and there, and planning to have him
with her.” A modest, dignified re
serve, which is neither prudery nor
affectation, should distinguish your
manner to gentlemen. Too great
familiarity and too evident pleasure
in the society of young men are er
rors into which no delicate and pure
minded girl should fall, if she desires
to retain the respect of the opposite
sex.
A servant girl may be a splendid
cook and a thorough going Christian
but at the same time she will never
hesitate to split up an ironing board
to kindle the fire with i a ease of
