Tlio Lthlapoan (omul.’lliui \Vl.esc Can, ve of T. lie Love Did Nat Ban ‘"mooth. In this great world ful' of con i tracts there are none so striking as ! thoso presented in the mimic world of the theatre. The most dazzling beauty and the most extravagant ugliness meet on the common level of the stage. Beauty and the Beast jostile one another in the green-room, and Cal iban makes love to Titauiu in the wings. Sometimes, however, Cali ban gets in trouble, ns was the case the other night in one of our varie ty theidn s. The leading attraction at the hoti-e is question, was a young se rio-comic singer of dazzling beauty. More than that she knew that she was lovely, and demanded that that fact should be recognized. The re sult was that she possessed a train of influential worshipers. According to the old adage, a cat may look at a king, and acting probably on this principle, the ne gro comedian of the theatre had the audacity to raise his eyes to its dazzling divinity. lie fi ll so des perately in love that he became the laughing stock of the theatre, and the more the haughty beauty dis dained his advances the fiercer grew his passion. Finally, like many another lover in his position, lie took to drink. His favorite tap was gin. Gin being a dutch beverage, it fostered in him that species of cour agecharacterized by the same name. The drunker he got the more vali ant he became, and when he arriv ed at tlm ftaggery stage he was 1 word to swear with oaths as big as the towers of the City Hall, that bis darling should be his and his alone. The stage carpenter who j had listened to him till he was tired , finally remarked : "Oh, Bones! Why. I’ll tut you a ter. dollar bill you don’t even dare kiss her.” “You do?” "Yes, 1 do.” "Then put up.” The propertv-ma l was elected stake holder. That evening, in the course of an act in which both were engaged, the burnt-cork lover sud denly bobbed his head forward and imprinted a sounding kiss upon the lovely serio-comic’s lips. Then the poor lover felt the fan tastic toe strike with sledge ham mer force upon hisstormich and the next tiling ! e knew ho was being mended in a drug store. He afterwards heard the stage j carpenter remark, when he found j he was ten dollars out, "Such is life,” hut the kicked man calmly and earnestly remarked that anoth er “such is death.” —. i Exaggeration. Some habits are so unconscious ly practised that a mom jot to mend them is the only way to detect them. The beam in one’s own eve is less noticed than the mote in an ,i i 11 other p'-rson s eve. A family wh'le at the breakfast-) table one morning pledged to ob serve the strictest veracity lor that day. A member of the family tells the •‘consequences.” As a first-fruit of the resolve, we 1 a-ked the one who suggested it "What made you so late at break fast this morning ?” She hesitated, began with “Be cause I couldn’t” and then, true to her compact, said "The truth is, I w is lazy and didn’t hur rv, or I might have been down -" 1 ■' c | long ago.” Presently one of them remarked that, she had been very cold, ad- ding, “I never was so cold in my ife.” An inquiring look caused the last speaker to modify his state- j 1 merit instantly with "O/i, I don’t ' think it. was so cold after all.” A third remark to the effect that , ‘Miss So-and-so was the homeliest ■, girl in the city,” was recalled as ' soon as made, the speaker being j , compelled to own that Miss So-and- j [ go was only rather plain, instead of , being excessively homely. r So it went on throughout the r day, causing much merriment, : ( which was good-naturedly accepted j t by the subjects, and giving rise to | constant corrections in the interest j, of truth. One tiling become more and more apprising, however, to each one of iif, and that was the amount I of cutting down which 'our most I careless statements demanded un- i der this new law. — Youth's Coin- 1 panion. 1 The Lime-Kiln Club.

An intelligent gentleman, who j i has recently spent several weeks at J 1 Suit Lake City, gives us the follow-1 e iog facts : The Mormons have four i kinds nf marriages, viz: f r time I 1 only, for eternoty only, for hotli | time and eternity, and by proxy, c If a mormon marries a Gentile wo- 3 man, it is for time only. At death t he goes to heaven, and sh? goes to t purgatory or perdition. He can j I call her out and up if*he choose-, j d hut her union with him does not j n insure her salvation, ns it would if, I she were a believer. If a Mormon j t wants to save an unmarried woman, | hut does not want to add her to his Imrem/die has her sealed to him for eternity only. After the ceremo ny of sealing, they have no special • relations to each other, or recipro- | cai rights and duties in this life.— ( But iu the life to come, the Mor toon maiden secures a place iu , heaven through her spiritual union j with a masculine believer ; for live ( Mormon theory is, that unmarried , men and women, are imperfect, and as such are not immortal. Mar- ( riaga is necessary to complete a per sonality that will silt vive"thc wreck ■ of matter and the crash of worlds.” , The usual Mormon marriage is I between believers and for both worlds, and the more wives a Mor r mon has the holier he is. But this , does not apply, vice versa, to the t woman. The proxy it .-images are based on the provision of live Mosaio Code, that if a man dies childless his brother should take his wife ;i and* raise up seed to iiis deceased y brother.

There is an alderman in Detroit who Knows a bale of hay when he sees it ns we!! as any man living.— He was passing up Michigan ave nue the oilier day, when he came across a small group of friends. They had perhaps been waiting for him. Knowing that he would pass that way about that hour. They were standing near a bale of buy marked "210 pounds,’’ and beside the bale stood a consumptive look ing youth of 20 summers, who kept j spitting on his hands and saying lie would shoulder Hie bale or die in the attempt. 1 " I’ve bet ten dollars that he can’t,’ remarked one of the group to the 3 Aide!man, as he came to a halt. B "Why, he must he a fool!” re u plied the ollicial, as he looked from th;' man to the hay. fi “I can’t eh ?” queried the con j sumptive. “You dasri’t put up 810 I that I can’t shoulder this ’ere hay and carry it across the street and hack. ] Nothing hut chain-lightning could have heat the movements of that II Alderman in pulling out an "X” 11 and placing it in the hands of a 1 stakeholder. When all was ready t • J I the consumptive spit on his hands, 1 I shouldered the bale and took his walk. The end of the Alderman’s tongue was in sight, and his eyes could have been stepped on ns the dying youth returned to the curb, (hopped the bale and tooK the money.

Then lie placed it up and hefted it' got red clear bncK to the collar-but ton, and wnlKed elf without a word. The consumptive was only half a day fixing tip the sham bale with alines and papers and a little hay, and 810 is good pay for half a day’s woi'K. —Detroit Free Press. A Beautiful Prayer.

President Boynton having called the Senato to order, the chaplain, lfev. J. P.

The Lord is my portiou, saith my soul; there fore will I trurt in Him. It is good that.a man should hotli hope and quietly hope for the salvation of the Lord.
