Eg Mr.. D. Belts has received his Fall and
Winters stock of Goods. His reputation for sell
ing Goods cheap is so we'll established, that any
thing we can say in his favor, would be superfu-
Gus. Suffice it to say, that he has brought on a
most splendid stock; and which he says, he is de-
termined to sell to suit purchasers.

THE Cosr OF THE PHILADELPHIA R1ors.-It ap-
pears by report to the County Board, that nearly
quarter of a million dollars (S238 230) has been
paid out of the County Treasury since 1886 for
the suppression of riots This sum does not in
clude the bill which has yet to be footed for the
riot on last election night which will probably bring
the amount quite up to quarter of a million.

Es We have great respect for the opinions OF
the Editor of the N. Y, Tribune, but we hope for
the sake of humanity he is mistaken in the opin-
ion expressed below. The adherence of Prussia to
her declaration will almost certainly bring France
and England to the assistance of Turkey; this
would soon em5roil all Europe in war, and the
ly thing that scan with certainty be predicted, if
war does come is that there will be a vast amount
of physical suffering and wretchedness. The po-
litical result no man can tell and very few will be
so presumptive as to guess. o. S. Journal
Russia and Turkey
We desire to hazard one prediction with regard
to the question imminent in Europe, touching
the relations of Russia and Turkey In opposition
to the general current of speculation, we predict
that Gear NichoiOs WILL NOT back out from the
position he has taken concerning the Hungarian
and Polish fugitives. Even though crippled in his
finances and weakened by the heavy losses sustain
ed by his armies in hungary, (mainv from cholera
he says) he will have the fugitives he has deman-
ded from the Sublime Porte-orhe will resort to
the alternative he has threatened Possibly Wes-
tern diplomacy may find some middle ground (al-
though we do not see it) between the humiliation
Iof the Sultan and Russian war: but if none such
lis founA Nicholas will draw the sword Much as
we detest the Policy of which he is the embod-
ment we have learned nothing to justify the belief
that he is a braggart or a-charEatan.- After de-
mandng the fugitiVes with such superfuity of
bravado he-is not the man to show the white fea-
ther on the first exhibition of manliness by the
Grand Turk He cannot afford at this time to make
himself the laughing stock of Europe, nor can the
cause of despotism afford to have him made such.

Popping the Question,

There is nothing more appalling 10 modest
and sensitive young man, than asking the girl
he loves to marry him, and there are few who
do not find their moral courage tasked 10 the ut
most.
Many q man who would lead a forlorn hone, ,
mount breach, and seek the bubble reputation
even at the cannon's mouth" trembes at the
idea Of asking woman the question which is
TO decide his fate. Ladies may congratulate
themselves that nature and custom have made
them the responding party.
In matter which men have always found so
terrible, yet which, in one way or other, they
have always contf9ed in some awkward way 10
accomplish; it is not easy to give instructions
suitable 10 every emergency.
A man naturally conforms to the disposition
Of the woman he admires. If she be serious
ne will approach the subject with due solsmni-
ty-if gay and lively, he will make the subject
an excellent joke-if softly sentimental he must
WOO her in strain of high wrought romance,
and if severely practical, he relies upon straight
forward common sense.
There is one maxim of universal application.
Never lose an opportunity. What can a wom-
an think Of man who neglects one? Woman
cannot make direct advances, bur they use inf
mite tact in giving men occasions TO make them.
In every case it is fair 10 presume that when
woman gives a man an opportunity she expecss
him 10 improve it; and though he may remble
and feel his pulse throbbing and tinglng through
every limb; though his heart fills up his throat,
and his tongue ceaves TO the roof of his mouth
yetthe awful question must be asked-the' fear
lul task accomplished.
In The country, the lover is taking roman
tic walk by moonlight, with the lady of his love,
talks Of the beauty of the scenery, the harmo-
ny Of nature, and exclaims-
'Ah! Julia, how happy would existence prove
| if | always had such companion
She signs and leans more fondly on the arm
that tremblingly supports her.
my dearest Julia, be mine forever'
This is a settler, and the answer ever so inau-
dibe makes or undoes him quite.
Take pity on forlorn bachelor says ano.
ther in a.manner that may be either jest or earn
est-'marry me at once and pu tine out Of mis-
cry
with all my heart, whenever you are ready,
replies the laughing fair one. A joke carried
thus far is easily made earnest.
A point is often carried by taking thing for
granted. gentleman who has been paying at
tention to lady, says a
well, Kate, when is the happy dayl'
what day, pray!' she asks with conscious
blush.
'Why, every body knows We are going to gel

other; so when shall it be!'

PAST MEMORIES.
BY J. G. WHITTIER.

BY J. C. WHITTIER.
How thrills once more the heightened chain
or memory, at the thought of thee
Oldhopes which long in dust have lain,
Old dreams come thronging back again,
And boyhood lives in me;
| feel its glow upon my cheek,
Its sioy'u ness of heart is mine,
As when learned to hear thee speak,
Or raised my doubtful eyes to thine.
hear again thy low replies
Ifeel thine arm within my own,
And timidly again uprise
The fringed lids of hazel eyes
With soft brown tresses overblown,
And memories of sweet summer ewes,
Of moonlit wave and willowy way,
OF stars, and flowers, and dewy leaves,
And smiles and tears more dear than they.
Ere this thy quiet eye hath smiled,
My picture of thy youth to see,
When half woman, half child,
Thy very artessness beguiled,
And folly's self seemed wise in me:
too can smile when DER that hour,
The lights of memory backward stream,
Yet feel the while that manhood's power
Is vainer than my boyhood's dream.
Years have passed on and left their trace
Of graver care and deeper thought,
And unto me the calm, cold face
OF mankind, and to thee, the grace
OF woman's pensive beauty brought.
On life'S rough blast, for blame and praise,
The schoolboy's name has widely flown;
Thine, in the green and quiet ways
OF unobtrusive goodness known.
And wider yet in thought and deed,
Our still divsrging paths incline;
Thine, the Genevian's sterhest creed,
While answering to my spirits need
The Yorkshire peasants simple line;
For thee the priestly rite and prayer,
And holy day and solemn psalm;
For me the silent reverence where
Ny brethren gather, slow and calm.
Yet hath thy spirit left on me
An impress Time hath worn not out,
And something of myself in thee,
And shadow from the past, see
Lingering s'er thy way about;
Not wholly can the heart unlearn
That lesson of its better hours,
Nor yet has Times dull footsteps worn
To common dust that path of flowers.
