A man thinking he was at home, one

aOnly Flirting

While you were 'sharmlessly" firt-
ing with the girl, you knew she loved
you-that her heart would quicken at
the sound of your football, and the blush
that she could not conceal fash in to her
check at the, tones of your voice. You
knew that duringFa long time you were
heart of your young and .unsuspecting
victim the chains from which. she could
not release herself without suffering,
which might be greater to her than
death. Don't tell me your intentions
were harmless-you never, proposed
never told her you loved her, and all
that sort of thing; you did tell her you
loved her, ay, a thousand times you told
this, by. tone, and deed, and look, just
as emphatically as though your lips had
sworn it. And then, how calmly, how
courteously, at last, you said farewell to
her, wishing her that life time happiness
which your work had forever blasted
And now, sirS whatever be your social
position, how broad soever be- the lands
of your father-hoW deep soever be the
Golfers of your gold, you have debascd
yourself and dishonored your mauhood.
W. lOElu IHGO Inc NOTlu, anu lCt your
carriage be as proud, your air to woman
as chivalric; youEhonor as untarnished
as. ever, but remember that the stain is
on your s0al You have stolen, bascly,
deliberately stolen, the once priceless
treasure of womar.'s heart-its affec-
tions. You have robbed her of her trust
in human goodness and truth, and tho
if she be a true woman, she will sum-
mon pride enough to her aid, to hide
from the world that never cicatrising
heart wound. it's pain will not be less
terrible to be borne, -........
s4 You have robbed another of the love
and confidence which should have been
his: for that heart will, never learn the
sweet song of its youth again, and tho

of his hearth-stone, still, the fountain
from which you took the seal, will new

OUR PATRIOT ADOPTED BRETHREN

The voice of our people has with unexamped unanm-
ity rebuked the berl views and proscrptive policy of
that party which arogatcs to itself the exclusive
of American when at the time il falsifos the
great principles of constitutional rights of civil and
hgious liberty and opposes the naturalization and mmi
grafton Of foreigners which among the pro-
claimed the world rendering necessary the dssolu-
ton of the political bonds between colonies and
Great Britain set forth in the Declaration Of ndepend
promulgated eghty-one years ago this day. The
experience OF the past has shown that republic
boast trucr patriots useful citizens than
these who have sought shores the great place of
refuge from the oppressed and downtroddcn Of the earth
We find in the Jfsh iaereaa, paper representing the
Celtic population of country, the following remarks,
which breathe the vital spirit Of Anericansm, and
as such we commend them to the know-nothings
at not too much to say that tho social condition of
the human throughout the earth has been sensiby
affected by the political operations of which the Declare
ton OF Independence was the initiation The grand cx-
pertinent of mans capacity for selfgovcrnment then
begun and the success by which it has bccn attended
and the uneSamplcd progress of these United States
der the influence of popular institutions, in everything
That constitutes true national greatness afford the
strongest argument 10 the downrodden of the Old
World against the debasng, cenraizng policy Of their
ue, by which nothing left the people but the priv
ege of producing where they did not consume and toll
ing for what they enjoyed Such state of things
coming more widely known that the constitution of this
Vepuhlc provides refuge for those who flee from tyran
aud injustice, where IL we'll disposed they mny enjoy

With adopted citizens these considerations should
tAve peculiar weight in attaching them stu strong
